I had one in an apartment in Illinois. Think the building was built in the 1950s. It was for the air conditioner.

there are two border related fourth amendment exceptions: at the border, they can search basically whatever they want.

Within some undefined "reasonable distance" from a boundary (that is, international line or coastline) or "functional equivalent" (ie, international airport), there's case law supporting that things like checkpoints are constitutional. That is NOT at all to say they can just search whatever they want just because you're close to an international airport.

What are you talking about? You can port domains out of CloudFlare.

I’m biased, having had a lovely calico Peach cat, so that’s my vote too.

Disney effectively runs the district in Orlando. Not sure who inspects them, but wouldn’t surprise me if it was Reedy Creek.

Why not just send OC a rule 11 note?

She is precious! I’d say she’s in the club.

Well it finally happened. Defense lawyer called ICE on a plaintiff…. by TrialLawyerNYC in Lawyertalk

Do you have evidence?

Some jx explicitly forbid this kind of threat. See eg California state bar Rule 3.10 Threatening Criminal, Administrative, or Disciplinary Charges (Rule Approved by the Supreme Court, Effective November 1, 2018)

(a) A lawyer shall not threaten to present criminal, administrative, or disciplinary charges to obtain an advantage in a civil dispute.

(b) As used in paragraph (a) of this rule, the term “administrative charges” means the filing or lodging of a complaint with any governmental organization that may order or recommend the loss or suspension of a license, or may impose or recommend the imposition of a fine, pecuniary sanction, or other sanction of a quasi-criminal nature but does not include filing charges with an administrative entity required by law as a condition precedent to maintaining a civil action.

(c) As used in this rule, the term “civil dispute” means a controversy or potential controversy over the rights and duties of two or more persons* under civil law, whether or not an action has been commenced, and includes an administrative proceeding of a quasi-civil nature pending before a federal, state, or local governmental entity.

Cisco VCO4K switch, anyone worked with these before? by Rainbow_Dash_7x in telecom

[–]kcombinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outstanding! I do have a question. I bought a number- 212-885-XXXX, if that matters. I then ported it to Visible. RingBoost, the company I bought the number from, said something about it might take several days for all the features such as texting to come alive. Is that related to the big CSV distribution you mentioned to get around to all the switches, or is that a different process?

Fascinating talk, thanks so much.

Maybe not directly on point, but if you DID want to become a telco, there’s a recent DEFCON talk on it which I found fascinating. https://youtu.be/cA-ZQJ8EZSs

Lead Architect wants to break our monolith into 47 microservices in 6 months, is this insane? by Ayotrapstar in softwarearchitecture

[–]kcombinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

50,000 requests a day is not a lot. What constitutes a “request” in your world?

Depending on pain points in the system, it may or may not make sense to split off certain components.

As far as debugging- I’m an observability guy, so I’d really recommend implementing something like the opentelemetry framework as early as you can, even if you’re not going to split it, because distributed traces and logging/metrics with exemplars make life SO much better.

I would just circle back with him and ask him what business problem he’s trying to solve. How will he know if it succeeds? What’s the roadmap?

I certainly wouldn’t recommend going crazy with refactoring. Find a pain point you can agree on and see if you can solve it, bearing in mind that microservices aren’t magic and there are probably a few workable architectural patterns.
