We ran our own some time ago and worked closely with the state government who also hosted their own email at the time. They had Barracuda e-mail filters that they used, and they would constantly flag our emails to them as spam at random times. Of course, we could just pay Barracuda a verification fee and get the green light. They couldn't even whitelist us themselves! But those fucking spam filter appliances were everywhere at the time. It sounds like this is just another case of a shitty spam filter.
Eventually, people will probably get most of their prescriptions by mail. That might be the solution to this, rather than stressing out and placing so much pressure on people.

I have said this before and I'll keep saying it until it changes: updates suck for 'regular' users, it's like a grenade with five pins, one of which will give you a working machine with some improvements and the other four will result in data loss, loss of critical functionality that you relied upon, more advertising and security issues. It's a total crap shoot and manufacturers should realize that with every botched update user trust in the computing industry is further eroded (assuming that is still possible).
You must be kidding. Striking through the text is ridiculously easy.

Well, you cannot blame companies from protecting their businesses, as long as you don't have to use them. Just use cash.

However, if that becomes problematic (like WeChat in China), then things go bad very quickly.

There is also no way for 'whales' to come out of these subs...at least with Instagram you can scale your spend to some pretty high levels...if X is going to nickel and dime its users...its going to need a lot more users.
> The big problem is target detection.

Generally yes, detection is hard. The Orlan-10 case, however, is easier. They can often be seen and/or heard from the ground and they are transmitting a live video feed, so their RF profile is a dead giveaway. If a fast, fox hunter counter UAV could be directed to the vicinity and then pick up the target efficiently a small crew could cover wide areas.

I imagine something like a fast, traditional airplane form with directional antennae in the wings for long range tracking, and visual tracking (as per the linked story) at short range. The actual weapon would be a small firearm: the targets are fragile.

"not worth their overhead to deal with someone working 30 hours a week"

What a ridiculous thought process. An overworked and stressed-out employee is going to make mistakes and they will always ultimately quit the job. The employer will then have to start a hiring and training process for a replacement. Creating significantly more overhead for the employer.

A happy employee, working a reasonable 30 hours a week is going to be less stressed, less likely to make mistakes, and be overall more pleasant. A happy employee is more likely to stay working for that employer for a long time. Meaning the employer will not have to hire and train new employees, lowering overhead costs.

> Rolled out by the end of next year and your life on by the end of next year are completely different, aren't they?

Not according to Musk:

> Musk told X employees that he predicts X's payments system will launch by the end of 2024, The Verge reported.

> Musk said, confirming that “when I say payments, I actually mean someone’s entire financial life. If it involves money, it’ll be on our platform.

So, by his own "confirmation" and the transitive property:

"He predicts X's [entire financial life] system will be launched by end of 2024".

You're right, though, just because it's rolled out doesn't mean users are going to flock to the service, especially with this monumental zinger:

> Musk from forging ahead with his plan to turn X into a bank, a move he said ... would be key to helping the platform avoid bankruptcy.

"Bring your entire financial life to my completely stable, not at all at risk of bankruptcy, bank system".

Apparently gepards seem to have quite a success against shaheds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PWJ97KcnmA

In the video one of the soldiers mentions that usually 3 rounds are enough, according to this: https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2023/09/05/germany... the price per one round is 181000000 / 300000 = 603 USD. I am pretty sure that contract will involve other things to make the restart of production viable so the total cost per round will probably be lower in following contracts.. But 1800 to down the drone does seem super cheap compared to rockets...

Further, if one were so inclined, one could download the subtitle files as well, and throw them into a database by episode. Then, one could easily find a video they remember watching a while back by searching the database for a phrase.

To be fair, you don't really need pharmacist for most people. If you're getting a prescription for the first time, then you should see a pharmacist. But if you are picking up a prescription that you've been taking for a while, there are companies that make machines which will fill and label the bottle and dispense it to you. Or just have it mailed to you. Too much emphasis is placed on having to speak or deal directly with a pharmacist, when it might be better to just take them out of the picture.

She said "hear me out", so I decided to give it a go, despite articles starting this way never being anything but a weird rant where the author assumes their personal experience is reflective of society as a whole ('main character syndrome'). This one did not disappoint.

The field of web design hasn't been recategorised due to it being gendered - in fact most web designers pre-2010 were men - it got refactored due to variances in how we see frontend and shortcuts to profit (capitalism).

It is now a lot more profitable to run a single or small sized team doing full stack and use templating, the various scaffolds of tailwind, bootstrap, etc or simply outsource the design elements, which are often a one time thing. Modern dev allows frontend and backend to be built in the same languages, abstracts heavily and often provides all the infrastucture too.

Web designers are broadly a dead category due to this, as are sysadmins, backend devs and frontend devs (all predominently male areas).

If you need “new features” not available in Safari in order to run an ecommerce website, I’m fairly confident that you’re doing it wrong.

One thing to keep in mind here: the KJV is still under copyright in the UK (and possibly other members of the Commonwealth). It's safe to use in other countries, but not there (although I gather it's rarely enforced).

While copyrights for most things in the UK expire after a time, the same as other countries, that historically has not been true for works produced under the aegis of the Crown. In the case of the KJV, King James paid for the translation, so it falls under Crown Copyright.

As the saying goes, "It's good to be the King".

I think some Crown Copyright works are going to fall out of copyright in 2040, but I'm not sure if that includes the KJV.

>I started a new account recently (hadn’t used my old one in years), and doing so now got me just about zero attention. I got zero followers from comments, posts I made, following others, etc.

Not sure if that's because of some recent change.

Many people had the same experience also back a decade ago (and in between). Just because they adviced to "tweet often, comment often, follow accounts" it didn't mean this guaranteed followers, it was just the bare minimum required to be able to get any.

On platforms with much less users (like some "federated" replacements) this is often not the case - connections are more easily made there, but I'd say that's always the case when a social network is much smaller and people try to "build up" their circles (as opposed to when they're spoilled for choice).

Without outing her university, I will add the (possible) caveat of "private Catholic university".

> During covid, it was common for faculty to take large pay cuts, but not staff.

The only real benefit to staff during COVID's early days was in the (where else) athletics department (and this is very much not a sports school), where all the coaching and related staff were kept on at full pay, and only "required" on their own recognizance to "spend time keeping up with relevant information in your field".

> That's why there's no such thing as "just pay the bill, thanks". They don't pay without knowing what it's for.

The various schools thought process is "We (the school) knows the bill details, supervisor signed off, so, Finance just needs the sum total and to send payment".
I recently switched to a local pharmacy after getting berated by a CVS pharmacist for standing in the "wrong" line. CVS in general has been absolutely awful in the last few years.

What really turned me against them was "CVS Caremark" insurance.

CVS runs a prescription insurance company that only allows you to buy your meds at CVS or Walgreens. How that's even legal is beyond me. They also have absolutely insane policies, and will NOT pay for anything unless it's prescribed as a 90 day supply. If your doctor is adjusting your dose or you're trying a new medication, fuck you, pay up.

I also once tried CVS's free prepack services where they divide your doses into individual AM and PM plastic pouches on a big reel. Super convenient for someone with severe ADHD, as the pouches are dated, so I always know if I missed a dose.

Caremark wouldn't pay for my proscriptions filled this way. Again, a free service offered by CVS. The Caremark rep I talked to had never even heard of it before.

CVS can eat shit
This question and many more can be applied on using CVSSv3. So a pentester doesn't have to use CVE scores as holy bible in their report. A risk assessment can be worked upon by those who are going to consider the recommendations in the report.

Chase, however, I'm surprised we haven't been seeing for at least a few years. Here in Chicago, following a high-profile bystander death resulting from a police pursuit, the department adopted a new pursuit policy that effectively bans vehicular pursuits in a majority of situations.

While many contend that this policy goes too far, it's indisputable that vehicular pursuits are dangerous. The potential for tracking, for example, a robbery suspect from the air (with a considerably lower bar than scrambling one of the city's two police helicopters) via drone seems like an obvious win for safety, both in reducing dangerous pursuits and apprehending dangerous offenders.
