It's not so much that Google gets a reduced price, but that your uni gets a reduced price. Google only sees it as an investment to expand their network, not as a way to directly save money.
In other news human can offload basic muscle movement to the Cerebellum. The real question is if you can hold two intellectual conversations at the same time, both in subjects you are not well versed.
I remember reading a story a long while back about Will Smith getting pulled over because police thought he stole the car. You know, black guy in a fancy car in a fancy neighborhood.
As much as I agree with what you've said, I also think there are better ways than hiring more police to put more blacks/etc in jail. We need social reform, not stronger/stricter enforcement. Better education, stop making pot illegal, etc. The cycle must be broken.
"the police department purposefully targeted black and Hispanic neighborhoods and said officers are pressured to meet quotas as part of the program and are punished if they don't"
"It's taken more than 6,000 guns off the streets in the last eight years, and this year we are on pace to have the lowest number of murders in recorded history"
I could give a fly f*ck about their effectiveness, they're breaking the law to up hold the law?! String them up and hang the bodies in public as an example. What someone in power knowingly and actively ignores the constitution, they need the wrath of God to fall down on them to remind people not to do that.
Above ALL crimes, someone abusing their power and ignoring someone else's rights is the worst.
The point was how safe MY key is, not how safe other's keys are. If everyone actually use correct 12+char pass-phrases, how would a hacker optimize to low-hanging fruit?
Dictionary attacks are about the only way to break a password in a life time, except in the case of LinkdIn and a bruteforce+rainbow-table. It's not hard to stop a dictionary attack from ever working.
Personally, I like the 80/20 rule approach. If it will benefit the vast majority, tax it a bit, but don't try to kill it off, that's the market's job. I look at cigs and think, wow, those cost money in health-care, but I don't think, we should have $10 tax on a $2 box because I don't agree with it. Put a large enough tax to help subsidize the extra cost smokers put on health-care, and call it a day, don't start a crusade against them.
Good point. Maybe the government should just pool that cig tax money back into health-care with most if it set aside for smokers, as it was originally their money.
Step further. All data should be taxed, which includes talking, writing, exchanging cash, billboards, etc. If you're transferring data, you should be taxed. Here's looking at you nature and all of your pretty taxable colors.
If the new class F address is seen by a host that does not support it
the IP datagram will be ignored. So communication will not be
possible with existing hosts, but the amount of modification for
existing hosts is much less than implementing an entirely different
IP header structure or a different protocol.
Interesting idea, but it isn't any better than IPv6. Ohh look, it claims to be IPv4, but it doesn't work with IPv4, that'll make things simpler. Router and end-points would still have to be upgraded, otherwise they would just silently drop packets. The only thing you gain is you get to keep the same header, which is a horrible variable length header.
While I understand protocols, I don't understand most general policies. Is there a reason why you're stuck using your ISPs DNS server? Couldn't you run your own with IPv6 support?
"access through stored procedures is better because the connected users only need permissions on the stored procedures and all other objects can be inaccessible to them" yep
You're not paying for your own healthcare, you're also paying for others. When the hospital has to spend $20k on someone, and that person doesn't have insurance, the hospital has to eat the loss. Wait.. wait.. loss? They're a private business, they'd go under. Ahh, here we go, they jack up the prices for everyone who can afford health-care.
Guess what is causing health-care prices to go up? People who can't afford preventative measures have to come in once it's critical. On average, that costs even more. It's lose lose. Not only do your prices go up, but the poor get worse treatment.
Ignoring corruption and waste(very real issue), public healthcare would reduce the cost of healthcare by catching preventable issues before they cost more money. We need a baseline public healthcare with most everything else as elective. Then let private insurance cover the difference. I'm sure people middle-class workers would love to have insurance with better coverage, and that's where private companies come in.
"health care costs for smokers were about $326,000 from age 20 on, compared to about $417,000 for thin and healthy people. The reason: The thin, healthy people lived much longer"
I'm assuming it has something to do with this. It ignores lost productivity during peak productive years.
Then it brings up the whole question about retirement. If I'm sitting on a few million when I retire, am I really costing that much money? I'm sure that $100k difference is easy to make disappear once you include my retirement.
Speaking about retirement, I started out near the national average only a few years back, my community is a low living cost but low average income, and my wife doesn't work. Assuming average 401k increases, I should have ~$1.5mil by the time I'm 60. If you start adding stuff like, acquired capital(house), promotions, wife getting a job, getting more free-money to invest, I'm sure $2mil is easy to reach.
According to that research, I'll still cost more than a smoker because I'll live longer.. whatever.
Tyranny of the minority is when the minority gets to tell the majority what to do. "save me, I have no self control!"
People are too protected from bad decisions because they live in a society. If they living "in the wild", they would have died long ago. They're getting a free ride. The government is trying to fix the that there are no market forces to increase the health cost that bad food creates. Ironically the worst food is typically the cheapest, which is the opposite of reality once you include health-care costs.
We could just not provide health-care, but that is even MORE expensive. Hospitals have ethical obligations and the economy is worse off when we dump $500k into a child who dies in their 30s, well before they can pay back societies investment.
Minor variances in what you eat doesn't make a huge difference. It's when you consume a lot of one type of thing. Soda here and there is fine, chugging 8 MountainDews a day is not healthy.
To have a requirement to "NOT ACTIVELY KILL YOURSELF" is quite different than "this is what you have to eat".
I agree. I'm not sure if you'll agree with what I'm going to say.
I don't have a problem subsidizing people who have "bad luck". Shit happens and it sucks. I can for-go another toy to help another person. What I don't like is people who go out of their way to make themselves sick/etc via smoking/drinking-soda/eating too much/etc, then asking for hand-outs.
But most of the time, an attacker isn't trying to hack some specific password, he's got a database will a million passwords and he wants to hack as many as he can as quickly
That's what makes pass-phrases so useful. It protects you from being a low-hanging fruit, so you probably won't so much as a glance, and even if they did focus on your account, it is very strong if done correctly.
Probably best off using something like LastPass, with one strong pass-phrase, and full strength random passwords for the actual sites.
Optimizing for low hanging fruit means you will NEVER get the higher fruit. If one uses pass-phrases correctly, the average case will be with in a few magnitudes of a brute-force average case. This also means you need to dedicated A LOT of resources to breaking the password. If you're going to have a super-computer cluster that is going to cost millions to break a password, are you willing to chance optimizing for something that might NEVER break the password or just brute-forcing from the get-go?
"5 random lower case characters + one upper case = 26^6 * 6 NOT 52 ^ 6" Wow, who told the hacker that it is a 6 char password with 1 upper case and rest lower case?
If someone is bruteforcing your password, they can make no assumptions. (alphabet size)^(number of spaces)
Where (alphabet size) = group your char is in. eg "!" is is part of a 10 char group, so using ! gives your alphabet an extra 10.
I
Lets see, upper and lower, that's 26*2, then "[]", that's another 12, "3", that's 10, * makes it another 10, "~+" is at least 6 but not sure which group. OK... that's an alphabet size of 90 and is 17 chars long. 90^17 = 1.6677181699666569e+33. Almost as strong as a GUID, but easier to remember.
Some private company in Europe used multi-cast to send IPTV to a bunch of people in Australia over the general Internet with no special setup. Sounds to me like they want multi-cast working for everyone.
