Nice project but it could be illegal. Check your jurisdiction.

Source: have done similar hobby projects for fun, which turned out to be illegal.

What part of this would be illegal? It's just a zigbee door sensor. The only issue I could see is the college getting upset but if anything they'd just say 'take it down'

Do employees suffer from having too many jumps in their Resume? After some time, companies would be less inclined to hire these people right?

soggybread · 2 years ago

I can't imagine it would be too much, depending on how it's worded it could show that the applicant has a 'wide range of experience'. Plus I kind of wonder if HR would already take that into account, it's not just software engineers and salespeople doing it, it's everyone, HR and Execs included

Found this really cool; I didn’t even know Deepmind was working on Fusion research https://www.wired.com/story/deepmind-ai-nuclear-fusion/

Why? Should we restrict other investments with similar logic? For example should non-residents not be allowed to purchase vacation properties and lease them?

The impulse to enlist the government to regulate private property and investments is not productive and results in endless encroachment of individual liberties and rights to governments.

AirB&B has been a terrible experience, so many people buying up houses just to lease them out for a weekend has definitely contributed to rising housing costs and over-all cost of living

I've been saving up for the past 8 years and have got a pretty decent deposit built up but the costs of houses in my area are just so expensive that the deposit barely makes a scratch in the overall mortgage costs and I wouldn't be able to afford the mortgage, seems like the more I save up the higher the housing prices go. It absolutely amazes (and infuriates) me that some of the houses I see going for 400-500k now went for 150-200k 10 years ago.

a lot of it is vcenter/vsan/vrealize so pretty big stuff. That being said, they aren't killing it off just killing off the perpetual ownership of those products when you buy a license, now it's subscription based

You need tanks, plumbing, pumps, coolant...if the datacenter doesn't have it available it's not a small undertaking.

Example: https://www.supermicro.com/en/solutions/liquid-cooling#solut...

soggybread · 2 years ago

You're right and while it might take up valuable rack space I would imagine there are some rack-based solutions that have most of the stuff included so that you don't have to rely on the dc providing it, pretty sure ServeTheHome has done a couple reports on them

I'm surprised. They mention that cooling is only going to get worse and that fans consume a lot of power, should liquid cooling not be something to look at? Maybe they did and found it either unnecessary or improbable to do at a colo depending on how many servers they have at the data center it might not be worthwhile but if they have 10 or 20 servers surely it would be worth while no?

Why is it high in summer? AC?

soggybread · 2 years ago

Even better it seems to spike in May almost every year. I didn't see if it mentioned where these measurements were taken but typically July/August are the hottest months so if it was AC, we should see the spike in those two months, no?

Thank you. Never thought of doing quick'n'dirty CSS changes through uBlock.

soggybread · 2 years ago

I second that. Didn't even realize I could do that, just copied

news.ycombinator.com##html:style(filter:invert(95%) hue-rotate(200deg); background: white)

into My Filters section, refreshed the page and it worked. It's so simple.
