Yeah that's exactly what i do. I have an A record that points to my house and i update it every 4 hours from a script on my router. Been really happy with cloudflare, they have a weird restriction about using your own nameservers, but as long as you are happy with theirs then they seem to be great.

Lots of that stock is made specifically for Rack - there's definitely some returns and end of line product that ends up there, but many of the branded goods at "outlet" stores is specifically designed for that market.

I've seen it done in data center environments where there are two connections to two different switches - so you can do maintenance on either switch without downtime.

Same reason for having dual power feeds to each machine.

But i'm not sure all of the things in the 14th amendment are necessarily criminal. I can't see how it's be a crime to give comfort to someone like Enrique Tarrio, but doing so disqualifies anyone who's previously taken an oath to uphold the constitution. How would that be enforced?

I look forward to seeing clarence thomas tie himself up in knots over that.

Plus having the government as a customer is very different from receiving subsidies from the government. SpaceX certainly has got some r&d funds from nasa, but on the whole most of their "government funding" comes in the form of contracts that they won on merit.

Tesla's a bit different, but consider that the government intended to spend a bunch of subsidize the rollout of electric cars and I'd argue that they got what they paid for. Had it not been for Tesla moving aggressively into that space I don't think we've have nearly as many viable electric cars at this point. Certainly it's more of a subsidy to it was to achieve a specific policy goal and that's really not quite the same as (for example) when we specifically bail out a company with taxpayer funds because they are at risk of failure.

Yeah I've wrestled with that too - I justify it to myself that they are so much smaller than Amazon or Microsoft but they are certainly not a small operation.

I also appreciate their participation in WinterCG and the dream of having interoperable runtime environments for serverless platforms. While I don't think it's quite there yet, I think it's a force for good to have a medium-sized player trying to push the interoperability that Amazon obviously isn't big on.

I have a .ms domain registered with nic.ms but I point the domain name servers at cloudflare and i can manage it in CF with all their features. I do have to pay for it elsewhere but that's a minor inconvenience.

Cloudflare will do DNS for domain suffixes that they don't support. I've never used Porkbun but as long as you can set custom nameservers then you can point it at CF and use all the tools they support.

Yes, that's obviously taking the lifetime K2 deaths and dividing by the summit attempts - though actually I get 19% in that situation. However we really dont have enough data to form a good confidence interval there - it's possible we've had a lucky few years or maybe we've got better at deciding when to make the summit attempts.

But it doesn't really change my point. There's some threshold where it seems fundamentally immoral to hire someone for a job that has a good chance of killing them. Mountain porter on k2 or everest is a higher risk job than "astronaut" without the same glory that comes with the space faring job title. Even if the chance of death is 1 in 200, I still think its immoral to take advantage of someone who's so desperate for work that they'll overlook it.
