>This isn’t poor advice. Speaking for myself, I choose to give this advice as a security professional and someone who has had to make various disclosures, both “responsible” and “full”, and of the latter, with and without the cooperation of the company.

So have I and this is a poor advice, especially these days with some of the regulation that is popping up.
The line which differentiates between a paid bounty or a PR piece on your website and criminal prosecution is how you handle the situation the law applies identically to both there are no legal provisions for doing unsolicited penetration testing because you say you're a good guy, heck in the UK for example the exemption form that companies sign do not actually exempt the individual tester from being prosecuted by the crown it can only be used as a legal defense, in Germany the possession of "hacking tools" is illegal without a cause, and there are tons of other nuances for each and other country and jurisdiction in the world.

Telling people to just post stuff on seclists especially after already being in contact with the company is a terrible idea, so while I do appreciate you might have had different experience it doesn't mean you handled it correctly nor does it mean you are giving a sage advice.
> Here's one example. A (probably not domesticated) cat scratched someone. They went to get shots. Waited a couple of hours and got the shot. Bill in the mail for about $8k. Somehow, I really doubt Humana paid their 80% which is $6,400 but of course the patient has to pay the 20%. I suspect what is happening is that Humana pays close to $0 and the patient picks up the whole tab of $1,600.

I totally get your point, but is that real example?

Typical costs:

- For patients covered by health insurance, out-of-pocket costs typically consist of doctor visit copays, prescription drug copays of $5-$50 or more, or coinsurance of 10%-50%. Cat scratch fever treatment typically is covered by health insurance.

- For patients not covered by health insurance, cat scratch fever treatment typically costs less than $10 for over-the-counter pain relievers. For severe cases in which antibiotics are required, it typically costs from $30-$90 for oral antibiotics. For example, Drugstore.com charges about $30 for a two-week course of the generic antibiotic rifampin. It charges about $80 for a two-week course of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. And it charges about $90 for a two-week course of the generic oral antibiotic azithromycin.

- In the extremely rare cases in which serious complications occur and hospitalization is required, cat scratch fever treatment can cost tens of thousands of dollars. According to Medscape.com, the median hospitalization charge[1] for cat scratch disease is about $46,140.
Something that I found truly shocking is that, in the paper's data, the number of straight men is exactly the same as the number of gay men- and the same for women (for individuals with at least one picture, i.e. everyone; numbers for those with more than one picture are different).

The paper itself cites a 7% distribution of gay men in the general population. Yet they trained with a 50/50, uniform distribution. But- why?

Well- because a problem involving unbalanced classes, like gay/straight individuals, where your target class (gay men/women) is less than a tenth of your entire data is a bitch to train a classifier for. Now, if you artificially equalise the data, by just adding more of that class, you can get a pretty good "accuracy" score (precision over recall, which they used).

Except of course, that score is completely useless as an estimate of the true accuracy of your classifier in the real world, against the true distribution of your data, "in the wild". It's also completely useless as evidence for whatever hare-brained theory you want to posit, that involves, oh, say, the distribution of feminine and masculine features in gay and straight individuals' faces - you know, the point the paper was making.

This should be a cautionary tale: you can't just force a classifier to give you the results you want it to and then claim that those results prove your theory. That's just bad machine learning. Like bad statistics, but with more assumptions.
Why doesn't Mexico just legalize heroin and cocaine distribution? Wouldn't this put an end to the cartels?

> Does that include a situation where say, when emptying out the oil, the nut over the drain breaks off which necessitates changing the oil sump, except they then discover the engine mounts are rusted and now the engine needs to be lifted and the mounts replaced? (I'm not a car guy, but I hope this demonstrates the thought even if inaccurate)

Yes it does because the mechanic is required to call you and say, "Upon further examination we also need to do ______ with will cost $XYZ. Do you want to proceed with this?".

If you say no you can pick up your car and go somewhere else. It's not that the mechanic is taking on the risk of an oil change turning into a full engine rebuild. They're simply required to announce what they're going to bill you for before they start work.

That way if the mechanic say, "It'll be $500 for me to change your cabin air filter." you can find a new mechanic.
Yeah, this is some serious political opinion masquerading as journalism:

Original Title: Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America?

With a permanent majority in the state Senate and the Assembly, a prolonged dominance in the executive branch and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long been free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political price. The state’s poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers remain unwilling to unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove California to its golden years.

Curious. If you don't mind answering on a public forum, what was the ratio of your dosage to bodyweight? For instance, my experiences were usually around the ratio 5e-5.

It is true that some people's egos "fight" the drug more than others. All the bad trips I've seen in others have been the result of a person's ego refusing to relinquish control over the body, and fighting to remain relevant to the host. They were driven to a maniacal series of "I want/I need" demands and their satisfaction, which is precisely what the ego thrives on. Below a certain level, the ego does not feel threatened but continues to act, as it did for you I guess. Above a certain level, the ego is forcefully dissolved but this may not always lead to a beneficial experience that feels safe.
I actually quite like the security model of the web.

All code is considered untrusted except for the OS (browser) itself. Permissions are fine-grained, explicit, optional, and enabled on a site-by-site basis. Even basic things, like an application's ability to play audio or execute JavaScript aren't entirely taken for granted and can be controlled by the user.

Overall, I think the web does a pretty good job of balancing security with user convenience. Certainly better than any other mainstream platform I'm aware of.
When it comes to internal vs external motivation they work equally well! An example of external motivation is money. It's healthy to have internal motivation, eg you like what you are doing, but it's not needed. It works best to have both internal and external motivation, for example really enjoying the work and get paid a lot for it, then you'll be very motivated, and wont have any problems to get to work.
Because the cost is unknown until treatment is over.

Dogs are originally forest creatures. Whatever we bred into them we did initially because they were forest creatures.

A few tens of thousands of years haven’t erased and in fact probably reinforce their instincts to solve pathing problems. Ravines and thickets must be circumscribed. Hillocks too, depending. Getting wet in the winter is better avoided so follow the stream and try to ford it later. It’s only preferable to going hungry. Play for time and min-max.
There was a 380 cargo version. It was not economical for operators to fly and all the initial orders were cancelled. It was called the 380F.
20 years ago, Spokane Washington had to redo its streets, so they laid fiber downtown before repaving. This allowed ISP's and telecoms to plug in and run very cheap ISP's and hosting services. Downtown telecom/isp exploded with connectivity.

We found an older building had highspeed access due to fiber. We rented a small office, (closet really), and paid for 100meg connection to an ISP on a lower floor. Ran an entire ISP with dialup/dsl and hosting that was cheap, and even offered credit card processing. Years before comcast or large telecom offered DSL.

Ive seen over the years, Spokane have large backup hub for PNW banks and other large bandwidth hungry companies move in. Hands on hosting services, Internet turn key web hosting, etc. All in a midwest type town due to the availability.

Even across the border in Idaho, some smaller towns that now have fiber have startups popping up due to cheap land, cheap bandwidth, and low cost of living. I'm always seeing startups hiring big data dbas, network engineers and programmers.

I just wish they would expand further into the very small rural towns. Wifi at my folks small town community center is packed with people due to dialup being the only thing available to the community. Either drive into Spokane, hope you have Verizon LTE coverage, or pay for limitted usage sat.
This would be more interesting if, instead of throwing the ball while standing at the water's edge, the human stood further back up the beach as in the lifeguard illustration. [1]

This would require the dog to decide on the path to take at the start, or run in a path that wasn't a straight line. Anecdotally, when performing this experiment in the past, my dog typically runs directly towards the ball along the straight-line path Lifeguard->A, then turns somewhat along the edge of the beach to plunge in somewhere between A and C.

I'm also curious if there is a confounding factor in the dog's motivation. Pennings states [2] that:

> By the look in Elvis’seyes and his elevated excitement level, it seems clear that his objective is to retrieve itas quickly as possible rather than, say, to minimize his expenditure of energy.

There is obviously a value that the dog ascribes to the expeditious retrieval of the ball, but when the ball is not present there's also a value to be had in simply running joyously on the sand, and, of course, there's little better than being in the water. We may therefore need to calculate the ideal path based on a static value (perhaps 100 dog-utilitons) for retrieving the ball, plus 2 du/m running in the sand, and 12 du/m when swimming in the water. This complicates the mathematics somewhat.

Finally, the author's method of running ahead with a tape measure may work when measuring the performance of a short-legged subject, but I would be unable to use these methods to measure the performance of my larger and faster (Newfoundland) dog. Aerial drone videography may be more suitable instead.

In practice this isn't a very safe assumption to make.
Odds are there is a State Law on point that requires a similar disclosure of estimates on medical services.

Take Florida Statute 581.026, titled Florida Patient’s Bill of Rights and Responsibilities

Subsection (4)(c)(5) reads: a health care provider or a health care facility shall, upon request, furnish a person, before the provision of medical services, a reasonable estimate of charges for such service.

In one case I represented a patient who video recorded asking a health care admin for an estimate and getting an answer of under $2,000. The bill ended up being somewhere between $12,000-$14,000. A single letter citing the law and the patients entire bill was discharged by the health care facility.

Your source was someone asserting, without justification, that it is illegal. That's not a legal argument. Even without considering that the source is very, very biased, it's not helpful.
Well, in theory you could run fractional reserve bank by letting your deposit customers decide whether they want or not be making deposits to you at any deposit rate you are offering. This would work if you disclosed your balance sheet and your customers were smart enough to make proper capital adequacy calculations on that. In the real world, however, I am not sure if disclosing the balance sheet matters, expected outcome (deposit holders losing their money) is pretty much the same.
In my probably uneducated opinion, this sounds less like a backdoor, and more like a bug.

It's not unreasonable because of the price tag, it's unreasonable because depicts a child flying a Harrier jet to school, saying "sure beats the bus!". Here's the quote: "In light of the Harrier Jet's well-documented function in attacking and destroying surface and air targets, armed reconnaissance and air interdiction, and offensive and defensive anti-aircraft warfare, depiction of such a jet as a way to get to school in the morning is clearly not serious even if, as plaintiff contends, the jet is capable of being acquired 'in a form that eliminates [its] potential for military use."

It should also be noted civilians cannot even purchase a working Harrier Jet, for any price, legally.

You need a good way to get the boxes on and off the plane, such as the 747 freighter's nose door [1]. The A380 can't be fitted with one of these due to its cockpit placement.

The 2nd floor of the A380 also can't be removed because it's required structurally, and that really limits the size of the cargo you could potentially put in it.

One interesting point, about airports being at capacity. A third runway at London Heathrow is estimated to cost roughly the same as the entire A380 program!

In a world where an additional runway (at the most congested airport) costs as much as creating a futuristic gigantic airplane from scratch, maybe it's not that crazy? (Not sure how the additional spacing and other costs with the A380 add into this, but still interesting to think about).

An additional runway at London Heathrow Airport will cost $20B USD [1]. The A380 development costs are estimated between $17B-$28B USD [2].

>Whack a garlic clove with the back of the knife. It will peel instantly.

That reminds me of a supposedly Punjabi technique I heard from someone: take a whole onion and whack it hard onto a table. Instantly becomes sweet-tasting instead of pungent (if eating it raw). Don't know the science behind it, but have tried it, it works.
I don't think thats true. There is a price bias, but thats not the only quality signal for medical care. There's reviews, facility and installations, reputation, etc.

People are price sensitive regarding their own life and their children's. You can find how much they value things with "revealed preferences", an economists principle.

Its a bigger problem that as a consumer you don't have to or face the decision of choosing by price, eliminating marketing mechanics from healthcare.

I've studied this a little. There are many stories depending on what you choose to believe. I believe the current state of affairs is a consequence of tax policy; health insurance benefits are untaxed income, a tax policy often attributed to powerful labor unions in the early 20th century. ACA attempted to tax "Cadillac" plans but the sunrise on that was kicked years down the road and when it was about to take effect in 2015 the can was kicked again to 2020. The tax is likely to be repealed before then.

So health insurance remains an enormous untaxed income benefit, one that grows in importance as health care costs spiral up. As a wise person once said; If you want more of something, subsidize it. Thus our present health insurance regime.

Can't speak for anybody else, but I know -I- hammer at my laptop keyboard because the keyboard is terrible and if I ease off it will sporadically fail to detect keypresses. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that this is the case for a lot of laptop or other less-key-travel keyboards, especially outside known brands. I use an external kb/mouse/monitor wherever it's feasible, but in that instance I generally just have to grab whatever is lying around the workplace, which means I generally get older mechanical keyboards with longer key travel distance (which, in turn, I don't have to hit as hard, though I'll admit that I still make a pretty satisfying whack on the spacebar). I -could- order my own kb/m and carry them around with me (and maybe I should), but then it's not really much of a laptop is it? :p

No, just a lot of people who like punctuation.
> Because the cost is unknown until treatment is over.

If you held a mechanic to the same standard, they "wouldn't know the cost" either.

Maybe the doctor's office doesn't know your out-of-pocket cost, but they generally know (within a reasonable rage) how much they will bill the insurance company for. Perhaps an underlying problem is that a health insurance-medical pratcice contract prevents the medical practice from revealing the negotiated+contracted costs.

In the case that the nurse/doctor/surgeon decides to change the prognosis/prescription during the visit, there are provisions for that type of action with auto mechanics, too.
Because you cannot collect money each time customer presses physical button (or flips bit in confreg, which is cisco way of doing the same)

Best solution I've seen from the practicality standpoint is distinct "clear password" button on HP ProCurves that you mention which works without power cycling the switch (and thus downtime). Looping ports 1 and 2 which is used by typical non-Accton chinese OEM switches seems like giant hack to me (which can even happen by accident given right environment)
