Adobe Creative Cloud Pay as You Go Using Disposable Cards
I have rare uses where I need Photoshop, but I don't want to signup for a full Creative Cloud subscription.

Adobe only presents this as:
* a full year paid upfront
* a 12 month fixed 'contract'
* a no commitment 30 day plan with a large price tag

If you cancel the 12 month contract, you are billed 50% of whatever the remaining charges are.

If a monthly payment is lapsed, after 30 days, the account is 'terminated'.

Has anyone ever got this far?

I'm considering using a disposable card number to just pay for one month, then letting it lapse.

If in the future I need again, paying for another month.

I'm not prepared to pay the astronomical non-commitment price for my use case.

Yep, it's a serious issue but as I said in my other comment, managing things like this is a relatively routine part of aircraft maintenance. I've been forwarded a preliminary risk assessment that puts the overall risk as "medium". The severity of the problem is obviously catastrophic but the probability of a failure occurring is so low ("extremely remote") that the overall airworthiness risk is not as high as one might think.

Every Hercules has a centre wing box, not just the new ones, and the "rainbow fitting"[0] is the part that attaches the centre wing box to the outer wing boxes. There is a rainbow fitting on the upper and lower surfaces of the box.

It looks like in this case the problem affects aircraft with more than 15000 equivalent baseline hours on their CW rainbow fittings, which is what's being inspected.

It's not about software that can't handle the precision (the software can). It's about the message the false precision conveys. By stating a value out to that many decimal places, they are stating that the location is good to a millimeter. But the location was almost certainly captured by a GPS device that can only locate you down to a 5 meter radius. They've provided a value that implies a point, when they should be providing a value that defines a circle.

"They will yell at you and tell you that you can’t legally ask them if they are disabled."

This isn't true, by the way. Businesses aren't allowed to verify the legitimacy of a service animal because that's seen as discrimination, which is most of the problem in itself as it allows any random person to buy a $10 vest from Amazon and use it as a "bring animal everywhere free" card.

But there's nothing prohibiting random people like you or me from questioning the legitimacy of a service animal, and if someone gets super defensive about that question, odds are good that it is indeed a fake service animal.
> If you can't follow the laws then don't play.

This is the subtext of the GDPR. Bluntly, they only want HugeCos providing services on the internet, anyone worth fewer than around 10 digits can suck it.

This isn't limited to Europe, of course. Most governments are coming around to the idea that there are too many printing presses.
I use a lot of discretion when I post on LinkedIn, 100% on brand.

But I really do get a lot of support from having an opinion or posting a perspective on a nuanced topic.

It basically took me coming to terms with not expecting to work for anybody anymore. I am not worried about recruiters and hiring managers taking a dim view of opinions.

But other movers and shakers really do listen, its made it easier to get into rooms, get capital, get acquirers, get legal and the attention of people I want and also didn't know I wanted.

It is a positive feedback loop and I know plenty of employees with opinions are not speaking or liking publicly. Its very similar to following sexy instagram accounts but you don't like or comment anything because your significant other and their friends and potential other mates will take a dim view on what you say. An employer/employee relationship is the same way and describes LinkedIn behavior.
Some parents are ready to fight you if you merely talk to their kids. Even more if you touch them -- like when you take away the chef's knife from the unattended five year old waving it around in the store.

Also, if a story was miscommunicated I imagine it was the kids talking to their parents: "Everything was normal until this old guy flipped out." They probably never mentioned the dented hood and by the time the parents get over there they had already made up their minds.
A free repair estimate from a body shop could have easily been over a couple thousand dollars. Even if you weren't seeking compensation, the quantified proof of damages can go a long way towards helping other adults realize that you were not just being a prick about it. I wonder how the landlord would have felt about covering that repair bill if you agreed to let the kids back into your yard?
A look inside the narco sub from that viral Coast Guard video
Is there supposed to be a contradiction here? No one is negatively affected by not eating peanuts for an in-flight snack. I doubt that holds for legitimate trained service animals. This means that there's at least some tangible cost on both sides that the airline needs to balance.
Literally first hit on Google: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5475232/

"The science on this is very tainted" isn't a particularly strong argument.
I've seen some pretty poorly behaved, barky, aggressive "service" dogs, that also have accidents. I doubt you'd want to sit next to them for the duration of an entire flight.
That's true, however, I think most airlines (for sure, Delta, AA, United, Jet Blue, Alaska, and Southwest):

1. Require non-service pets to be kept inside a carrier for the duration of the flight.

2. Charge customers that bring a pet, whereas service animals fly free.

I've seen a few non-service pets on flights, but I've seen service pets far more frequently (based on the fact that they were not in carriers).
People can die from peanut allergies.

I would even go so far as to disagree with one of your sibling comments in saying that this reading list is important because it isn’t about “arcana”. Arcana is what usually gets you the last 10%* of the way to a working solution, even if your high level approach is beautiful and pure.

An old-style hacker reads man pages, RFCs, specs, and programming books not to immediately know how to solve problems at hand, but to know what solutions are possible for future problems. It isn’t useful to know that the HTTP spec doesn’t specify a max header length or that the default setting on Apache is to only accept 8kb of headers, until it is suddenly extremely useful to know both things at once :)

* some would say “the other 90%”
You have made some good points. I agree that it is not about the language but more about the programming principles and understanding. I guess I am not seeing that enough from bootcamp graduates. It seems more like a problem with bootcamps than the students themselves.
> One problem with reducing meat consumption is the general low skill level for cooking. Vegetarian food can taste better than meat dishes but you need skill and good ingredients

No, why? Not at all... My cooking skill level is knowing how to use a
stove. What good ingredients do you mean? In my experience cooking
meat is always the hardest part.
Yup. Apparently we need to amend HIPAA, or ADA, whatever it is. If you have a need, it should be documented. And then an appropriately-trained airline (or grocery store, or..) staff person should be able to look at your documents.

They don't have to know what your disability is. You shouldn't have to suffer the indignity of every single passer-by on the street asking you if you really have a need and what it is.

But some kind of basic common-sense framework would curb abuses, which hurt everyone -- the legitimately disabled people the most!
Very true. Those pictured horses cannot be enjoying getting crammed into the legroom of a seat. Seems like cruelty to animals to me.
No, it flat out is a conspiracy theory and it's false. It's embarrassing that it's here and that you're downvoted.
“I just simply can't imagine why you'd want to tell people (or yourself!) that they have no hope of getting to a better place”

Sure you can get to a better place and you should try to do so. What I am saying is that it’s very hard and that it’s not your personal failing if you don’t succeed. Some things are easy for some people that are hard for others. For example I have never had weight problems and naturally eat relatively healthily. But I see people who try really hard to not eat fast food but somehow can’t stay away. For these people the constant advertising and availability of fast food is deadly.

I think that we should not allow the seducers to do whatever they want.
Breed restrictions are generally moral-panic-driven bullshit anyway, so I have zero issue with countering bullshit with bullshit.
A problem with that metaphor is that a machine learning paper refers to an objective reality. If a philosopher came along and said 'I'm not sure how this methodology works, but it is clearly optimized for the wrong metrics as evidenced by your sales since you implemented it', the data scientist should know to listen to the philosopher no matter how he came to that conclusion.

The equivalent in philosophy is, unfortunately, very different for someone deeply engaged with philosophy and an educated layperson. To a layperson, the measure of philosophy is something like the moral and mental well-being of the philosopher. That is why the laity cares and most would say should care about philosophy. Unfortunately, this is not the metric used by professional philosophers. Social validation may be a more rigorous heuristic than moral well-being, but that does not make it more relevant to what makes philosophy itself relevant.

It seems likely to me that the reason laypeople so consistently criticize more educated philosophers is that philosophy optimized for social validation is not optimized for moral well-being. That is an alarm bell that should matter to the intelligent philosopher, much as a 'but sales are down' warning should matter to the intelligent data scientist.
> because cheese is a pretty good shortcut to making hearty food.

Entirely anecdotal, but essentially cutting dairy entirely from my diet has done wonders for me and my wife in more ways that you can imagine. She literally cured her life-long respiratory allergies just from no longer drinking milk / eating cheese. Greek yogurt is fine, for some reason

I'm allergic to cats to the point that when I was an infant they didn't have a number on their scale to quantify it. When I'm exposed to cats, my eyes run and swell shut, my skin gets itchy, but above all that my asthma goes well into problem territory. I imagine there are people allergic to dogs in a similar way, and being in an enclosed space with a dog for multiple hours may, in fact, be a threat to their life.
Not necessarily related but I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of ATSC 3.0 tuners available (are there any?) in US. Phoenix is a test market and I can't even find a tuner to test.
The other day I saw a HUGE pitbull with a service dog vest (or whatever they are called) at a Costco. It was right next to me in the line and it was clear that the owner was in no way disabled.

I was not happy for those few very long minutes in the line. And there was no way in hell that I was going to ask that owner if his service dog was legitimate.
Panda Privacy: the NDA for your personal information
No it can't. There is crap money in vaccines and they are hard to make. You can literally just open up Glaxo, Sanofi, et al annual reports and confirm this.
this is one thing i greatly miss from having worked next to a small grocery store. there were always fresh flowers in the house, and even when i wasn't up to cooking dinner or going out, they had fresh-made items that could quickly heat up.

unfortunately, after leaving that job i could never get back into that habit - maybe because my only other option (two blocks from home) was a large chain store, and the food quality was never quite the same.
Yeah, survival is more important that you having comfort food.
> So what's the explanation for that?

Why, they are impractical buffoons who lack the benefit of my own vast personal experience, which trumps everything. Or else blind zealots.
> we unsuccessfully tried to approach bars with a Netflix like subscription for drinks.

... wow. Glad you dodged a MoviePass-style bullet on this one.
Service animals are chosen from particular breeds, from particular breeders and highly trained. It's a totally different thing than a random dog with a "service" vest.
Maybe they should do occasional special "pets allowed" flights where you can bring your pet with you in the cabin. It'd be great for people moving cross-country with their pets, and the flights wouldn't need to be that often.

As a benefit, this would avoid exposing people with allergies to pets on random flights; if you book the weekly pet flight, you know what you're getting into.

Most airlines won't put animals in cargo any more after too many of those things have happened.
I'm sick and tired of the rampant aggressive judgmental attitude of under-qualified hyper-opinionated loud mouths on these flights complaining about everyone else and not minding their own business.

Who the hell are you to say whether a person is in need of something or not? I live in a country where disabled people are left to rot because their particular disability is not transparent enough; Employees are afraid to leave their house while recovering after major surgery in case someone thinks they look healthy enough to be working.

If our current understanding of equality for the disabled force airlines to let miniature horses on (which i very much doubt) then they should be forced to do this in a safe and non-interruptive way or be heavily fined.
LinkedIn is a place where I can have my professional profile. That is pretty much it for me. I have tried to engage otherwise on there but it is filled with spam, recruiters and other egocentric entrepreneurs and marketing people who are trying way too hard.
The moral debate around climate change should center around what you just said. Either we are all compartmentalizing it, or we all honestly convinced of "no harmful effects worth worrying over." Most people that care about climate change have a lot of cognitive dissonance, trying to hold our institutions to a high standard but unable to act in a meaningful way.

Personally I believe that the amount of human suffering that will be caused by climate change will be small, but I'm unable to really discern whether motivated reasoning lead me to this conclusion. The evidence presented by both sides about the amount of human suffering that will be caused is highly questionable.
Physically impossible, no, but external GPUs definitely work right now with Intel processors but even they have their limitations related to usability moreso than technical issues. I have one now with a 1080 Ti off of an Intel NUC and not being able to see my BIOS without switching to the iGPU can be cumbersome when troubleshooting. Once in a while when I reboot (this is very frequent actually because my eGPU's PSU's power limiter cuts out if I forget to throttle the power usage) the GPU doesn't come back unless I hard cycle a couple times.

The annoyances are such that I'm waiting for a 3900X to be available in-store so I can build my full workstation finally after sitting on a NUC + eGPU setup for over a year.
That seems weird, from what I see in Europe, ID forgery is quite rare; making a convincing fake ID is about as difficult (or more difficult) as making convincing fake money, as pretty much the same anti-counterfeiting measures are used; and carries about the same consequences as counterfeiting money. It's possible, but not cheap or widespread - there are a bunch of ways how you could get money or stuff with a fake ID, but it's very rare in crime statistics; it's more common to see real IDs (of e.g. homeless people) used in such fraud cases, or having an accomplice employee making fake contracts without IDs.

Perhaps it's the issue with the lack of a good centralized ID in USA so you have all kinds of different "ID-like" documents, and some of them are insecure?

There's also less motivation for teenagers getting fake IDs - I assume in USA the 21-year alcohol limit is a big driver; but here it's not that big of an issue, plus it's easier and cheaper for a teenager to buy e.g. heroin than a fake ID, and being caught using a counterfeit ID is a crime that risks geeting jail time while buying/possession of small amounts of drugs won't; so using a fake ID is difficult and risky, and so it happens not that often.
One regrettable casualty of this is that I've noticed that almost everyone I know is super unresponsive to texts now. I'm not expecting a fully-interrupt-driven ability to grab someone's attention at any time, but ive even seen cases when you're actively in conversation with someone about something concrete (eg details of a plan) and they drop off in the middle of it. I still think this is pretty rude, but its understandable given that they haven't bothered to make their notifications higher granularity (for my part, I've disabled notifications at the Android level for most of the abusive apps, like Facebook)

> Another thing I've found handy is in my IM app I have notifications for everyone turned off by default, and only allow notifications for close friends and family.

I figure the next step in the evolution of norms will be this understanding of granularity filtering down to the non-tech-savvy masses.
The context was (explicitly) not AGI that can fully replace lawyers, but AI technologies that make human lawyers more effective. In that setting, the Jevons paradox would still seem to apply (until we actually saturate demand for anything human lawyers can do).

Its exhausting, all the deniers who gloss over global ecological disaster with "I'll just stay in my apartment" or whatever naive notion makes the problem go away.

E.g.
When sea levels change, reefs on shallow shelves get less light. They die and regrow at the more favorable optimal depth, which takes decades/centuries. Even a few inches of rise.

All sea life essentially exists in the top few meters of water, and depends upon coastal ecosystems. They collapse - the vast majority of sea life is affected.

Vast numbers of human beings depend utterly upon fishing. Usually poorer people in less developed nations. They will starve.

Starving people numbered in the hundreds of millions/billions will have a political effect. The refugee issues we've see upsetting nations (thousands of refugees! We can't cope!) turns to millions then hundreds of millions.

Yes you might survive the weather change in your midtown apartment far from the sea. But will we all survive the 'ring of fire' resulting from global catastrophic refugee migration? Resulting brush wars that turn into regional conflicts that turn into worse?

That's one simple scenario resulting from ecological collapse due to one variable. Multiply by all the effects from ecosystems everywhere.

Conclusion: we must weight the danger of a false negative (doing nothing until its too late) which in this case is immense, when figuring our response to the climate issue.
In what way is verifying the service animal is legitimate discrimination by any metric? Said person has already announced their disability by bringing the animal, the business is clearly willing to serve them, I don’t see a remote argument to the contrary.
Cities have had bussing programs to ship their homeless population to places with lower costs of living (at least in America). It's just that past a point they lack the agency to make their situation better in one way or another (probably some sort of mental illness, which I can't fault them for)
Depends on how much you like Paris Hilton
Almost all the animals I've seen flying were well behaved.

That said, I would still much rather sit beside a service animal than a poorly behaved child (or adult).
So is public transit ridership
My family drove 21 days and 11,000 km from Canada to Panama because the airline refused to allow our dog. It was July and the flight had a layover in Houston. I could see the problem there with the heat in the hold, but we all risked our lives and went through a lot of trouble because the airline couldn't accommodate a Shiba Inu in the cabin. The dog needed a visa for every country we passed through. With notarized veterinary report duly sanctioned by the embassy of every country. Some expired before we could make it to the border and we had to resort to bribes and other techniques to get through. It was a farce because there were stray dogs, goats, cats, pigs, and other animals crossing as they pleased at many of these borders.

The airline refunded our tickets, but only after we rejected their helpful suggestion to put the dog down and fly without him. Bet you can guess the airline.
There are legitimately much higher costs in shipping a pet than, say, the same weight in luggage. Why should passengers be subsidizing others people's pets?

I travel a lot, and I know what a huge burden it would be for me to have a pet, so I don't have one. I have drought-tolerant houseplants which can recover from a week going without water. Too many people have pets and then expect others to make unreasonable accommodations for them, when owning a pet is a choice that they made.
From a quick Google search, there doesn't appear to be medical evidence of any life-threatening allergies to pets like dogs.

That also apparently hasn't stopped people from claiming they have one, however.
Impossible?

Dissolve the chip casing in fuming nitric acid and use probe needles. The official pins are not the only way to interface with the silicon, when you have device-in-possession.

Use a timing attack. Find a collision.

It is very likely that the same private key is locked up inside every chip, and one reverse-engineer, probing one of them once, can compromise the key for all of the chips manufactured before their publication date, and probably would last until the OEM ran out of those chips, and then deprecated the key after some time with a software patch. The one-time cost would be worth it for any manufacturer of off-brand batteries.

The battery controller chip is not going to be an impenetrable security vault, in any case. The cost of parts is a factor, even for Apple.

Asymmetric keys don't work if the attacker is in possession of the private key, no matter how many padlocked boxes you put it in. The attacker has the key, and getting it out in usable form is a matter of time, not possibilities.
