What about using a format like:

[Year of Initial Release].[Year of incremental release].[week of incremental release].[Incremental Number]

So:

2017.2018.39.332

I guess for hobby projects, you can run your DB on the 5 USD droplet.

In NZ there is the "​​Consumer Guarantees Act":

https://www.consumerprotection.govt.nz/general-help/consumer...

Which basically adds a government mandated warranty for goods and services sold to consumers (non-businesses).

But now you know of "Cremona", and that "Antonio Stradivari" made some violins there (and some other things), and that they have the "Museo del Violino", and other things.....

Yes, if the background noise from down the street is a problem, then how come the players heart beat, other body noise and the chair noise are not an issue.

I am using the CE version that is in the Ubuntu Repo.

If I need a GUI for MySQL, I find MySQL Workbench to work great:

But in 90% of cases, I do find that the cli sql client for your DB of choice is sufficient.

Reminds me of Pure Data (PD)

" Please note, you will not be charged for either the container or the FIP in performing the migration."

So nice of them.

We are closer than you might think, as I am too in Northland.

For me it is hiking and sometimes kayaking.

Actually it is wonderful. I work from home and live in a small village minutes from the ocean in New Zealand.

Groceries are can be delivered. The only reason to drive to town is the odd meetup.

As someone who dabbles with gardening and know some farmers. It is not as trivial as you think.

There is already a lot of technology and automation on big farms.

But then we cannot use buzzwords...

The customer always pays, as all the manufacturers money comes from customers.

The whole point is force people to pay the actual price for the good (services) they are getting.

This will force people to abandon extremely polluting habits out of economic necessity.

I kinda liked the double shotgun, it really packed a punch.

An actual backup, would be a copy of said photos and vidoes on:

- An external Drive. (which is only connected to copy files)

- An external cloud service.

- Another computer that you have.

You should probably do a couple of these.

I personally backup home computers (using borg) to a home server, that server has a 2.5 2TB external HDD connected to it (2 other 2.5 external drives are kept outside of the house). A backup of important files from the nas (including the computer backups) gets copied over to the external drive nightly. Weekly the drives gets rotated.

The really important stuff is also backed up offsite on a daily basis.

A 2.4M 2x4 costs almost 10 NZD here. And that is the cheapest lumber.

There are huge markups in the local market on building materials due to a duopoly. It is cheaper to fly to Australia buy NZ made siding there and ship it to NZ than to buy it locally.

And how much are yearly Body Corporate Fees for these apartments?

Also have you look at the minutes from BC meetings? Going through just a handful will turn you off purchasing an apartment in no time.

The problem is that builders in NZ suck at building apartment buildings. The quality is rubbish, and they are not that much cheaper than houses, in many cases they are much more expensive due to the Body Corporate Fees (~10000 NZD / Year).

At first we were looking for an apartment, but then realised that it was just hopeless to find affordable apartments which a of reasonable quality.

Have they removed the "Trust" loophole?

This is where you setup a local trust, and purchase the property through that trust (and not a non-resident).

People can also still purchase properties through local proxies.

AC also allows for smaller switches and relays, as you are guaranteed to hit 0 V within a phase, so you can disconnect loads without giant sparks/arcs.

> blockchain is useful outside the context of cryptocurrencies because it represents a verifiable chain of custody.

Only if we are talking about the custody of a purely digital asset, or purely digital information (as in not linked to anything in the real/physical world).

> For example, imagine how blockchain could solve the problem of a patient who has control of their health records....

If you have control over your own "blockchain" medical records, what is stopping you from omitting the last few records too? How is this going to stop your data from being leaked by someone who hacks your current doctor? How will all doctors be forced to use it (if it is not put into law by a government body) and this case, why would this be chosen vs a centralised system? Who will be "mining" and why?

What happens if you are taken to an ER, and you are not conscious? How will the ER get your records if they are somehow sealed? All it takes would be some dying because of lack of access to the records for the system to be scrapped. As people would be more interested in saving lives vs worrying about governments and corporations snooping on them. Hell today we are giving up our privacy for things are mundane and pointless like Social Media.

With bitcoin, what would stop governments from passing laws making certain addresses tainted resulting in people that send coins to or receive coins from them to be audited and having to explain why and how they linked to certain causes.

What makes you think if bitcoins (or any *coin) becomes the main currency in a country or region, we would not have laws were all addresses would need to be linked to people (or companies) and the ledger would not be used for figuring out and persecuting people supporting certain causes?

Typically peak residential energy use is actually early morning and evening. And those tend to be the worst times for solar.

Solar is great for businesses and schools, well basically anything that operates mainly or totally during the day.

One of the most common embedded OSs for ATMs and other similar devices for a long time was WindowsXP.

NZ does have the EQC.

How is this being solved by a block-chain?

You still need to trust all the people in the production line (Farmer, Juicer, Seller and not to mention that transportation guys) that brought the bottle of juice to market to actually record things correctly into the used block-chain.

The trust required in the data entry "Link/Step" basically results in the use of a block-chain to be pointless, as trust is already a requirement in this particular chain of custody.

This is also why the block-chain only really works in Digital Only assets, as you link the asset it self in the block-chain itself.

> "death panels," where faceless government bureacuracies let people with uneconically feasible conditions die untreated.

We prefer the private "Free Market" death panels. (Health Insurance), which effectively do the same thing. But you get a choice in who will deny you cover if you ever go over a limit or could not afford you cover.

You can say they are reaching for the stars.

What if your laptop had no internet connection? Is an internet connection now a requirement to get a computer setup?
