I noticed users in the United States can't sign up. ("United States" is not in the list of countries in the required Country field, and it's also excluded from "18. Regional Service" is the Terms of Service.) Is that intentional? It could be part of the reason for the slow uptake.

Yes, my primary concern is serving the Canadian market at present.

I've got a similarly sized ground-mount array, and I push the snow off with a triple-telescoping aluminum pole with a large squeegee on the end. An actual snow rake might be better, like the one you describe, but my setup gets it done. It takes some effort, but it's worth it to be able to collect the solar energy that would otherwise just reflect off the snow for days.

Privacy Badger has three modes for each host (other than the origin) from which content is loaded on a page: Allow, Block Cookies, and Block Entirely. This lets you load things like Google fonts without allowing tracking cookies to be set. Yes, Google still sees your IP and user agent and can do some tracking that way, but they can't add a tracking cookie (at least once Privacy Badger sees them trying to), and you have the option to block Google Fonts (and whatever else) entirely if you want.

uBlock Origin also has this functionality

For the same reason dealing in counterfeit money matters — just because I can't tell it's fake doesn't mean the person I try to pay won't know or care. If your reputation is your currency, you don't want to damage it by promoting artwork that other people know is AI generated, so it's likely better to play it safe.

I have this problem with my Logitech mice too. They work great for two or three years, and then they start registering about one in every 50 clicks or so as double clicks, with the frequency slowly increasing to maybe 1 in 10.

That might just be dust gathering or humidity/temperature weathering. I've fixed most degraded mice by cleaning them, and there's different sprays/lubes you can get that will not only help the hardware but the electrical responsiveness and accuracy.

That and the infinite-scroll wheel bearing fails. I’ve probably gone through 5-10 g502 mice in the past decade. I usually buy them 2-3 at a time when they are on sale.

Sounds like it's working out for them

Yes, unfortunately there are no other mice that have the infinite scroll wheel and I’ve come to love it for office work.

They’re generally pretty good about warrantying them, but life is short so I don't always bother.

That stupid scroll wheel is so great I hate it. I also can’t give it up. Sometimes I want smooth, sometimes I don’t.

Additionally, I wonder how this works on sites with a Content Security Policy that disallows inline styles and style tags and stylesheets without a nonce.

I suppose if Cloudflare is proxying your site, they could get the nonce from the content-security-policy header and use that, but hopefully that would be an opt-in-only behavior.

> because the parents were too stupid

This sums up all of the school pickup problems I see and/or deal with daily.

I also see many parents making dangerous decisions, most of which fit into the “I’ll go now” category, including accelerating quickly to get to the crosswalk before the kids crossing the street do. Just this school year, I’ve seen multiple near misses, with kids jumping back onto the sidewalk to avoid being hit by a parent who just picked up their own kid.

I can't pass by this comment about Network Solutions without an enthusiastic second. Several times per month I help various customers with their domains, and when I see that one is with Network Solutions, I know I'm going to have to waste a bunch of time with their terrible DNS editor and will have to wait around for at least 20 minutes before their own editor reflects the changes I've made.

The worst part is that when replacing an A record with a CNAME, it lets you delete the A record but then blocks you from adding the CNAME, because "a record with that name already exists" (referring to the one that was just deleted). This is where the 20+ minute wait changes from "inconvenient" to "downtime". It's been like this for at least 15 years.

You just brought back a fifteen year old memory. I have used a lot of hosting services but have always avoided GoDaddy. The name sounded too playful...and that was after being a Host Gator customer for years. They were decent back in the day and let me serve rediculous amounts of data from a shared hosting tier that always performed well...I was probably the noisy neighbor.

The flip side can also be true, where the replacement cost of a home is higher than its market value. Always be sure to insure your home for at least the replacement cost.

I’ll second the Bobiverse series, one of my favorites. Its descriptions of new technologies is at just the right level and depth, I think, and it’s subtly hilarious.

Just starting the third book, really fun series. Highly recommend for anyone interested in computing and science fiction.

The audio books are narrated brilliantly too. Stange fact: bobiverse has no dedicated Wikipedia page.

Ray Porter, the narrator, is quite the talent. He does a brilliant job with ‘Project: Hail Mary’ as well which is the second book from the author of ‘The Martian.’ It has quite a bit more science and humor than The Martian and is one of my favorites.
