Dedup was rushed and the original developers admit it. They ask you to please not use it unless you absolutely know what you're doing


If you think GMail is pain free you'd be even more pleased with Fastmail. I simply cannot self host my mail/contacts/calendar because nothing that exists -- free or not -- can compete with the usability and available power user features of Fastmail.


Thanks, I'll take a look. FYI, I used Fastmail many years ago (back when Jeremy Howard ran it, well before its sale to Opera), but haven't taken a look at it recently.


Fastmail is no longer owned by Opera, it was spun off in 2013.


Bought back by the original team, if I recall correctly


You are not going to get an accurate CO2 sensor for $27. You're being misled into buying cheap Chinese crap.

An accurate CO2 sensor is much more expensive. I would not trust the readings of the sensor in this blog. It's going to be off by over 100ppm, especially if there's a lack of good airflow.

Senseair is a Swedish company and definitely not "cheap Chinese crap". Do you know about any research that confirms your statements about the accuracy?

I believe that some of the more expensive sensors are more accurate, but this cheap one may be a good enough solution in some cases (e.g. indoor air monitoring for DIY projects).


The research has been done by the weed growing community. I don't know any professional growers using sensors outside of the American Scientific as the cheap ones are inaccurate and failure prone.


Oh god, I have never seen a datasheet like this https://www.atlas-scientific.com/_files/_datasheets/_probe/E...


Is that a favorable response?

It seems thoughtfully designed. I especially like the warnings in the beginning. Usually I prefer a higher density of information, but this is not too shabby.


Well it has most of the data, but the form is a bit unappealing.

For comparision - this is a datasheet of a temperature sensor device: http://pdf.datasheetcatalog.com/datasheet/maxim/DS18B20.pdf

Electrical characteristics, operation principles, state machines and so on, and it is suitable for printing.

EZO-CO2(tm) datasheet looks crazy.

page 3 is a big poster warning about submerging of the sensor

page 4 is a big poster warning about bright light interference

page 5 is a big poster warning about ground loops

1/3 of page 10 is a cartoon picture of a production line.


vBulletin is probably hundreds of thousands of lines of code. Nobody has time to "read the code" before installing it.


Because the UI/UX is terrible, and XMPP is not mobile friendly at all


Being ugly and functional is fine with me. Pretty and exploitable seems a bit silly as a reason for use. Pidgin does so much more than xmpp


Hmm, what is not mobile-friendly with, say, Conversations ?


It's not an app that can be awakened by a push notification.



That is a big fat lie right here.


No it's not, setting up proper push notifications (Google/Apple) with XMPP is a nightmare and the XEP is not well supported anyway


This is not true. XEP-0357 is very well supported by any modern XMPP server, and setting it up is easy. There are many issues with XMPP but push notifications is not one of them.

Source: we are releasing an XMPP client for iOS soon.


If you can read your WhatsApp messages on your phone and you don't control the WhatsApp binary... then Facebook can backdoor WhatsApp to read the decrypted message.


Again, that would mean that he deliberately, explicitly and unnecessarily lied to Congress. That would pretty much require him to be an idiot. He is many things but that's not one of them.

I'm not suggesting that no-one can read them. I have no idea. I am saying that his testimony makes me very comfortable that Facebook is not because he has way more to lose from lying than from not in those circumstances.


Your argument here is that you trust Mark Zuckerberg's statement because Mark Zuckerberg wouldn't lie, because if Mark Zuckerberg lied, he would get into lots of trouble, and therefore to avoid getting into lots of trouble, Mark Zuckerberg obviously tells the truth.

I have trouble with this logic. Also, I'm not quite clear - what are the consequences for lying to Congress?


Well, maybe that works for you, but I'm more comfortable not trusting anything coming from Facebook...


Even a broken clock is correct twice a day


There was a comment that AVID may need SIP disabled for some video cards, which left this open for Chrome to do


And this large amount of oil production the USA is sitting on is light sweet crude, needed for gasoline? Same grade as Abqaid? And we have the infrastructure required to transport it?

(Hint: we don't. It's estimated it would take us minimum of 2 years to complete the required infrastructure build out)


so, finding out that the currently-sufficient production quantity doesn't have as high of a ceiling as previously expected would result in a crisis so big that there would be problems with oil supply for the 2 years needed to complete the required infrastructure build out?

I don't see how this negates the parent w/r/t the parents-parent.


Like others have said, this oil would probably be run to refineries by train. This is inefficient, but until new pipelines are built, it's the best way to get oil from the field to the refinery.


Except we've significantly cracked down on bomb trains and some states are working on banning crude transport by rail altogether

Maybe a good time to learn to weld?


I wouldn't bet on it. Just take a look at all the opposition aimed at pipelines. Maybe in the US pipelines have more of a chance but as it stands Canada is unable to complete a pipeline project anymore.


add diving certs and you have a fun (but dangerous) job that takes you around the world


it is light sweet crude. Likely will rely more and more on trains. Which would be a better buy than picking a oil company, since no one is divesting from train companies.


Not possible with SIP. The OS files are read only. Not even root can change them.


Someone else in thread mentions an kext for the iLok dongle AVID uses, so are kexts covered by SIP? Or are they counted as part of the kernel, and thus all powerful?


Looks like some situations AVID requires SIP disabled for external video cards?

So dumb. Why do companies pull this crap instead of fixing their issues with the vendor instead of leaving their users vulnerable
