Data centers actually are a huge bonus to the county's taxes. It's a huge (to the point of being a risk) portion of the County's revenue.

I've lived here 20 years and never met anyone who works at a data center.

logback is *gpl, I think that scares folks away.

We got a SOC2... and still get questionnaires. It's the worst. Companies are just outsourcing their security reviews to the vendor. Rather than rely on a 3rd party audited document companies want their custom questions answered. BUT - they aren't custom questions - it's the same questions for every vendor and they are very often poorly worded. Then when we turn them in - there's no follow up questions which to me implies that no one is reading them. Security theater...

I was going to just skip over this by reading the comments. Thank you for suggesting I go look. Extremely moving.

Any thoughts on the NDA signing portion of the process when answering requests for detailed, private documents?

Getting legal involved is a whole other level of time/expense.

Interesting that no anti-virus type software is mentioned.

Same here. I wish it was a little faster in changing configurations (I move some speakers around to different rooms and different pairings from time to time), but the last time I did so - it was faster/better than before.

Induction works fine. Our house is all electric. On the coldest winter days the heat pump needs some help using some resistance heat which isn't as efficient - but it does just fine. No need to have gas.

And if you can charge - what are the terms?

Just moved into our "forever" home and our setup is very similar to isbjorn16's (7 in the family, HPWH "80G", but I have an 8" PowerPipe from these folks: http://renewability.com/#learn-more. (It's a monster - plumber wanted to give me a clean out at the bottom - but that meant some jackhammering to set it low enough.)

So far so good - we do a bunch of baths/showers at bed time and no one runs out of hot water. Also - I'll add that we accidentally had the plumber remove all the low flow "plugs" from the showers so there's a lot of water flowing.

The pipe is pretty fun - not only is it fun to look at - but when someone is taking a shower it's fun to feel the heat at the top of the pipe and as you move down the pipe it gets colder until it reaches the temp of the cold water coming into the house.

Since it was new construction - we'll never know how much of a different the drainwater heat recovery pipe is making - but it is definitely doing work.

I can imagine these pipes becoming more popular (though rising prices will kill off any efficiencies real fast). Maybe code?

The Listing requirements: https://developer.github.com/apps/adding-integrations/listin... mention: - OAuth Apps should have a minimum of 1000 users. - GitHub Apps should have a minimum of 250 installations.

Does this mean you aren't listed on the Marketplace until you have 1000 users + 250 installations?

Desk.com had a variety of this (you got a free 30 days no matter cc or not) then could continue to use the free plan if you entered your CC. They had a bunch of a la carte features that they hoped to make easy to upsell to.
