Don't have to screw anything up. I have a machine that has a weird stability issue that I haven't tracked down - it seems to take out the PCIe bus, so the errors don't get logged to disk or network - without my KVM I'd have to leave a monitor connected just for this edge case and be home to check on it

I'm sorry, but WTF is

We did not want to contact FlyCASS first as it appeared to be operated only by one person and we did not want to alarm them.

They are the company, running the thing. You are going to alarm them a whole lot more by going to the damn DHS. Like, I think DHS and TSA probably do need to know about this, but why not start with the actual intimately responsible party?

From what I can see, it looks like you have a SATA connector, though the power for it may need a special breakout, and an mSATA connector, both in the second photo

I mean, if I were adding this instruction it would read "this candidate doesn't want to work for a company that uses AI to screen CVs"

I believe a portion of it is quite a low forecast for wind generation coinciding pretty closely with the morning peak.

The peak-trough consumption difference seems to be about 2GW, and wind generation averages about 400MW but can hit 900MW

If you wanna poke around with some historical data yourself, I scrape a lot of it for my own curiosity, and have opened up my dashboard

Alternate coverage, for the less prepaid amongst us https://www.interest.co.nz/public-policy/126782/resources-minister-shane-jones-has-asked-advice-whether-government-could

But yeah, this dissuasion was a feature if the previous law change IMO, and this is an incredibly blatant response. I can't imagine they'll be taking proper bonds for reinstatement after, either

Agreed. I'm honestly at the point where I just assume rates will be up 15ish% each year, and I kinda feel like they just need to say that's what the plan is for the next umpty-um years

I would caution that there's a fair gap between "don't need expansion joints" and "don't have heat restrictions". A few days a year of heat restrictions could be considered a reasonable engineering trade-off, if it manages costs

You may find you mean deprecating.

Depreciating is reducing in value due to time, deprecating is disapproving of (or in software, marking as obsolete)

While concerning, I think the "amid global decline" is the real headline here (and I'm glad they added it). My reading of this is that NZ almost exactly mirrored the average change across the OECD

The current law requires no false claims be made. NZF want to repeal that, and allow dubious claims

The Greens run coalition agreements as an internal democracy, so their membership would have to vote in favour. I can't really see that happening

Once upon a time, I seem to remember some folks managing to negotiate better rates than carded.

Is this still a thing?

If so, how do you go about doing it?
