Oh, people on such plans incur massive bills all the time.

Suppose you're in a bicycling accident, you're knocked unconscious, and an ambulance takes you to a hospital that isn't in your insurance network.

Boom. Out-of-network charges.

If your bicycling accident was so bad that you need surgery, a five figure bill is a certainty. A six figure one is rarer -- but absolutely possible.

What's really messed up is that, even if you end up at an in-network HOSPITAL, you might get care from an out-of-network provider.

In this bicycle surgery hypothetical, for instance, your hospital and your surgeon might be in your network - but the anesthesiologist isn't.

Boom. Another out-of-network charge.

(Thats called Surprise Billing, btw)

At median income levels, there's no amount of HSA savings money that can insulate you from costs like that.

The current US insurance system asks consumers to walk an insane tightrope of cost controls.

Any kind of typical C memory corruption that you can think of that fails to validate the buffer sizes that you give as parameters.

WebAssembly memory access bytecodes only do bounds checking of the linear memory block that gets allocated to the module.

You then do your own memory management taking subsets from that memory block and assigning it to the respective internal heap allocations or global memory blocks.

So you just need to have a couple of structs or C string/arrays, living alongside each other and overwrite one of them by writing too much data due to miscalculations of the memory segment holding the data.
Fishrot Files expose Icelandic fishing company bribing officials in Namibia
It looks like the case which is being pursued focuses on the marketing of the weapons.

Marketing is a powerful, proven effective force often with large financial backing, and it's possible that it doesn't always have the end consumer's interests at heart.

Based on that it seems reasonable to allow cases like this to be heard, to determine whether the manufacturer could have been more careful to prevent harm, or whether they mislead consumers.

I'd personally be more scared of a world in which there was no prospect for the public to hold court hearings about the content of potentially damaging and/or misleading advertising.

This has to be the top comment in this thread. If you think about it why does anyone have to follow the law? Because there are consequences for when they don't. In this case, as my parent OP correctly states, there's legal precedent and case law on what a reasonable suspicion is. The agent should be able to go to a court, in front of a judge and be able to state what made him/her suspicious of you. If they can't, all evidence they collected during that search will be thrown out. That could basically kill the case. That'd be the motivation for the agent to at least come up with a plausible story on why they want to search you.

In the minds of sane people, those quotes would be taken to mean that the weapon is suitable for home defense and gives you every possible advantage in the worst possible situation. The same advertising model is used for all defense firearms because it plays to the fears that drive people to buy it in the first place (namely, being alone and unarmed against a group of people who want to cause harm to you.)

So there's a pretty clear rationale for the focus of the ad - including the emphasis on magazine capacity. That said, competition guns all use standard capacity magazines except in the very few jurisdictions where they are forced to use diminished capacity magazines. My local sporting goods store doesn't even have magazines that are less than 30 rounds.
It might very well be coincidental, because the hot compound also has anti-fungal properties. So the primary evolutionary benefit might have been that, not selection of animals eating the seeds.

> ..., you often get no feedback after job interviews.

There is nothing new in this.
The search of a phone is like a search of any other thing in US law. Generally, searches require a warrant which implicitly requires probable cause, but there are some well-defined exceptions to the warrant requirement, and the probable cause requirement. One of these exceptions is the border search exception. US Courts have previously said this exception is reasonable for various reasons, and is an exception to both the warrant and probable cause requirements. The court in this case says it is an exception only for routine searches, and called the digital searches non-routine which don't fall entirely within the existing exception. Rather the court says non-routine searches don't require a warrant but do require a reasonable suspicion, a standard still below probable cause. A reasonable suspicion requires only the officer to have a suspicion they can state a reason for. For example, a phone's lock screen with CP would satisfy reasonable suspicion.

> Would the suspicion have to be announced to me, when I’m asked to unlock my phone[?]

No. Officers don't have to disclose to you their reasons. It's helpful, but not constitutionally required.

>[W]ould it have to be presented to a court, when they are asked to prosecute me based on the contents of my phone?

Not necessarily. In a criminal prosecution violations of the Fourth Amendment can be excluded by the court. The theory underlying the exclusion is that without the exclusion there would be nothing to stop cops from violating your Fourth Amendment rights. A criminal defendant must challenge the use of the evidence found, and the officer must give their reason when the judge is trying to determine whether to allow the testimony.

In the US, you can also sue the officers when they violate your rights and win money damages. That's what this case is. The officer as part of their defense must give their reasons to defend they didn't violate any constitutional rights.

>If they find illegal content on my phone, wouldn’t the prosecutor just tell the court “she matched a profile for the sort of person that carries illegal documents”?

Probably. Some courts may additionally require the officer to give a basis of why you fit that profile, or why someone who fits that profile reasonably is likely to carry illegal things. Typically just saying it matches a profile is sufficient.
IANAL, but I'm reading the opinion itself and I've found it pretty accessible so far.

They don't have it as a selection criteria. Some context:

South Korean educational system recently had a crackdown on private academy(hakwon), and in their infinite wisdom, decided to ban every non-public educational experiences (including things like international olympiad awards) when applying for the university. Which means that the only thing you can submit in the application is SAT scores, some public education awards, and personal essays. Naturally it became the fight of who can write the most compelling personal essays for the university, and people started to let their children 'write' academic papers so that they can write stories to claim their interest and impetus on the application in hopes of impressing the judges.

So it is not a selection criteria but it helped rich & powerful people get an edge in the university application.
But that's the point - where are you willing to be hurt? That's a more interesting question than what you are ostensibly willing to stick to, and much more revealing about the organization's culture. Everybody wants all the nice things, but what really reveals your values is when you want two nice things that are contradictory - which do you choose?

That's why Facebook's "Move fast and break things" is so powerful (and so revealing) as a value statement, as it showed that Facebook was willing to break any number of things to move fast. Google's "Don't be evil", as words, is utterly useless, because nobody considers themselves evil. Google shutting down their consumer-facing site so that they could honor the terms of their AOL deal, however, spoke huge volumes, as did them pulling out of China in 2010 regardless of the cost to their market. Similarly, them going back into China regardless of privacy and human rights violations also speaks volumes.

According to the book, they were running a SR of 2 through the 90s and early 2000s. After overhauling their strategies, they started running a SR of around 7! I’m not sure where you can get information about other funds besides finding articles in BB or WSJ, but the HFRI Index publishes return information for different classes of funds. Regardless, I don’t think you’re going to be able to access SR unless you’re an investor or work at a portfolio analytics company.

Why rock the boat when you can keep your head down and keep getting $500k/year? At that rate you can retire comfortably after 5 years.
Yeah. And this kind of system often leads to large delays without clear causes, so people re-tap many times and get into weird states.

On the extreme end of doing this well, you have stuff like Redux, which effectively does this locally plus a cache so you don't notice it. Redux has some super nice attributes, there are some definite advantages, but it is many times more complicated than a sync call.

It generates a very beautiful CRUD admin dashboard automatically via reflection.

Allows building drag-and-drop data viz dashboards, saving commonly-used custom queries as "scopes", and even building your own HTML views if you need to get really fancy (think tracking live deliveries on a map, etc).

Also has Stripe and Intercom integrations.

I bet the same has been said about VMware, GitHub and LinkedIn. They are all still doing pretty well today, last I checked. And they weren't acquisitions that required the acquiring company to get investors in to close the deal.
It is up to attorneys for each side to make their respective cases. Presumably the slippery-slope argument you use will be part of the defendants' case.

This is 100% Google's fault. They discourage both "old content" and "thin content", so guess what happens?

Content writers create posts like "Ultimate Beginnner's guide to X in 2019" articles and just update the post title and "Last updated" metadata each year. Nobody's going to create a brand new guide to building muscle or whatever if the core information doesn't change year to year.
Why can't both be true? Stability in some things, rapid response to change in others?
Warren presidency = stock market crash
The fourth amendment just says searches have to be reasonable, not that they have to be done pursuant to a warrant. What counts as "reasonable" is very much not clear unless you look beyond the text.

There's no evidence, for instance, that the fourth amendment was meant to prevent customs checks at the border. Inside the US, customs checks would be unreasonable searches, but at the border they have always been legal.

Phone searches are nasty, invasive, and not like a customs check at all. That's why we have courts to distinguish them.
I'm ambivalent about DST as a concept (see e.g. here: https://leancrew.com/all-this/2013/03/why-i-like-dst/), but I feel like proponents of this scheme haven't really thought it through.

"Permanent daylight time" is no different from just getting rid of time changes and shifting one time zone to the East. And of course the whole point of having time zones is so that can be somewhat close to the middle of the day at noon (and that "midnight" isn't too much before or after the middle of the night).

The end result of this is that instead of saying "Oh my god I can't believe it's getting dark and it's only 4:30!", we'll quickly adapt and find ourselves saying "Oh my god I can't believe it's getting dark and it's only 5:30!".

This would also mean waking up before dawn throughout most of the winter for most people in moderately northern latitudes with conventional schedules, which is likely to be terrible for sleep health.

And yes, it's possible to adjust work and school schedules to be better in line with people's natural sleep rhythms, but then why not just do that and leave our timezones alone?

Speaking of the "antithesis of science":

> I was heartbroken the day I saw a citation of my work in a military application, as it was never the intent of the work

Isn't a cornerstone of scientific research that you never know what fruitful unrelated applications could be created by your work? The scientific community is collaborative, multidisciplinary, etc.- you should be happy your work contributed to progress.

> I'll do nuclear non-proliferation work all day

Even though full non-proliferation will likely contribute to more war?

> Humans are really, really good at killing one another -- we don't need to get better at that.

Shouldn't we ALWAYS strive to get better at everything? Isn't that the point of scientific research?

> unless we are at war

Well, we are at war. In 2018, Congress identified 7 countries that we are officially in conflict with. And if you have a broader definition of war, the number is much higher.

> Defense projects are classified, and classification is the antithesis of science.

Not all defense projects are classified.

It totally makes no sense to spend any time and resources on DRM. Instead, they should start offering video DRM-free for sale, not just for rent.

What Is SEO: Simple Intro to Search Enigne Optimization
This is just snark. Confining malware to the sandbox is a win. Malware authors would love to load something more damaging and more valuable, and they fall back to cryptomining as a last resort to get value out of your machine.
The word value is literal.

It is a means of stating the value you assign to a concept or ideal.

The implicit statement of a list of values is that these are things that are valued highly. But of course, some things are valued more highly than others, and other things not on the list are also valued, at different levels.

Sometimes positive traits can be assigned a very low value, in a company statement such as this. For example, Netflix famously does not value a highly stable workforce. It's not that they don't want stability, or think it's stupid, it's that they value other things much more highly.

Or, in other words, the concept of value is not binary.

The price differential for the same procedures depending on whether I go to an urgent care center, or my primary care, or a hospital ER is what makes me insane. Urgent care is a flat fee $50, whatever they do, whereas the hospital starts at something like $800, and goes up from there.

I forget what the primary care costs, although I think it is more than urgent care; I can't get an appointment with my primary care without a couple months of lead time, so it's pretty much moot.
