Yeah but if it misinterprets a squirrel or a cat vs a plastic bag you're going to get a sudden deceleration you weren't expecting. When people are in charge you can determine that if it's a small animal which allows you to swerve or just use it as a speed bump.
Well it's not a healthcare system, it's an insurance system that was imposed on all of us. If we were to honestly take on the issues of costs in the healthcare system, which the ACA didn't address, that would mean taking on the Doctors, the Hospitals,the large network providers that fix prices in their favor and we left out the biggest profit whores, the drug manufacturers who were left in tact under ACA. That was what the single payer notion was about but that's anti-business and we love our business opportunities. The supreme court decision had it right, this is just a tax and since you now can't deny somebody for pre-existing conditions maybe the smart play is to not pay for it and wait till you have a catastrophic event then get insured. This Rube-Goldberg device of legislation will need to be modified, extensively and the current administration sees the problems. The Republicans attitude of just de-fund it doesn't work either because yes, something had to be done but this wasn't it. To paraphrase, this is not the healthcare system you were looking for. It does nothing to improve the quality of care and for most Americans who were insured it makes things worse for them. Such a bargain!
Well I have been paying for the same people but now it's 225% more not including the new taxes to go along with it, that argument that age is the biggest issue doesn't hold water. What's happened is now because of age they can charge you substantially more which is the only allowance under the ACA that insurance companies are allowed.
Look, numbers are fine but when they're mining it from sites that publish and peddle lists of Card Numbers and CVV2 info, that's another thing. Those sites have no other business than to promote crime. It's the same thing with Child Porn and other things that have been banned from search engines. Nobody likes censorship but there are things that should be filtered based upon good business practice and being a responsible corporate citizen. Google is smart enough to build filters to know that what they're harvesting is a credit card number or not. They obviously made the change already but this guy found a backdoor and they've now closed that. Overall I think it's more troubling that Google has a ton of credit card numbers and CVV2 data stashed in their server farm(s), the only problem is we don't know what it's used for and how long do they keep it? They probably have a cache of Child Porn just for shits and giggles too, but they'll probably never tell anybody about that or if they did "We use it to train our machine learning algorithms to recognize questionable material."
Secure Chip cards are available but every retailer is still using mag stripe readers. I agree it would be better but it would also be better if Websites who handled credit card transactions were at least held to minimum standards so this data doesn't get put out there in the first place for Google to mine. Better yet, just block Google from scanning your website both at the Firewall and in the Robots.txt file.
Nobody trusts the websites to begin with both in terms of reliability, information availability and security. People I know who've tried the Federal website have been shrugging their shoulders because its navigation sucks and they can get more information from sites like eHealthInsurance.com.
The other problem is for the rest of us in the "insured" category our premiums are going up substantially while existing plans disappear, lose choices of Hospital networks and get wonderful things we don't need anymore (at least at my age..) Maternity care because all the plans have to have it. For all of that I have a new bunch of taxes to subsidize those who can't afford it and my premiums have gone up 225% For that increase I could buy a nice summer home. This isn't the Affordable Care Act it's "you have to do it our way because we say so." Like your current doctor? He's not "In-Network" so we won't cover visits. Like that hospital you've been going to for years? "It's too expensive and we know it's 15 miles closer than the other facility, it's not in your network but you can go there for emergencies since it's the closest to you." The rationing of healthcare has begun and with it you'll pay more (for most of the middle class) and get less. Such a bargain! We should all be signing up on untested websites where you don't know how your information is handled and what they do with the PII you give them.
You get all of the above depending on what company/organization you're dealing with. If you're dealing with an entity that has an open attitude about these things, you'll get a reward or a pat on the back. If you're dealing with a private company that isn't open and has a monopoly to protect you'll get usually a CFAA indictment for accessing their system in an inappropriate way...
Why in the hell is Google indexing credit card numbers to being with? I realize their bots sniff the web but this is information that they should just avoid collecting.
Well we need more folks who are willing to push the edges of encryption algorithms and not bow to government pressure. The amount of exposure that the NSA has wrought on all of us, whether it's using TOR or just doing online shopping or banking is enormous and I hope there's some accountability at the end of all of this, I doubt that now but I do have hope. For now I'll just put my faith in algorithms that are strong mathematically and aren't under NIST's hands and have more open, scholarly analysis. ChaCha20 is one of those .
Certainly there's already enough documentation out there on all encryption algorithms and mathematically speaking Salsa20/ChaCha20 are extremely strong.
chacha20 is a variant of Salsa20. There's also XSalsa20 that uses 192 bit IV.
ChaCha20 is great, I've been using it for the past year and with it being proposed for TLS with the IETF, it's very good for all of us. The world is waking up to the NSA bullshit and we're seeing some of these other standards getting some attention, especially away from anything NIST related or US Government standards related. Salsa20 was submitted and was a finalist in the EU encryption standard. I don't think we'll see the death of AES anytime soon but at least this gives us some alternatives. I'm going to wait for the code to stabilize a bit and start turning it on in my Apache configurations...
Hello, good evening, and welcome to 'Blackmail'! And to start tonight's program, we go to Preston in Lancashire, and Mrs Betty Teal! Hello, Mrs Teal! Now this is for £15 and it's to stop us revealing the name of your lover in Bolton. So Mrs Teal...if you send us £15 by return post, please, and your husband Trevor, and your lovely children, Diane, Janice and Juliet need never know the name of your lover in Bolton.
It's great for the viewer because you have more detail in less bandwidth (smaller footprint) but it's a bitch at encoding and is slower than mp4,H264 or H265 in encoding speed. VP8 is still a good alternative as well since it's more mature and has wider support.
Maybe but other drivers will have a cancel your burnout button or you'll have to take a vote among cars in your immediate vicinity to allow you to use it. Also every time you hit it Google will track the event and send you an e-mail targeting you with tire commercials.
With all of the electronic system between the driver and the actual operation of the car, you pushing down the pedal will be mitigated by a series of computer algorithms including traction control, energy regeneration and dynamic stability control. Meaning you'll accelerate as fast as the car will allow you to accelerate.
As for a Miata, yeah you can set one up so it'll be more fun...
now you've offended the dickhead gods and they will smite you for blasphemy against the Diesel one. If you watch his movies you must adhere to the dickhead code otherwise you will cast down into a fiery furnace of Zuffenhausen.
Uh, no it wasn't. Because of her rank there was actually problems promoting fleet operations people to Admiral positions. There's only so many "Admiral Chairs" and she occupied one and she wasn't in fleet operations.. This was one of the main reasons that she was retired by the Navy which she understood when she received the Rear Admiral rank in 1985 and she subsequently retired in 1986.
hey, dickheads keep the economy going by supplying customers and cash to, not in any particular order: bars - dickheads need to buy lots of beer, auto performance shops - hi-performance parts cost money and there's a huge aftermarket for everything to go fast (think SEMA), hospitals because dickheads get injured when their car hits a telephone pole and when they knock up every unwed teenage mother within a 20 mile radius, they buy DVDs of Fast and Furious movies to hear Vin Diesel say something, fast food restaurants - hey dickheads gotta eat and finally funeral homes because the dickhead decided to turbocharge his F body mustang and didn't realize it would go that fast when it was finished.
We need dickheads in this world, just like we need Oprah and the Kardashians to counteract the opposite end of the retard spectrum.
You need a button for this? For me it's apply the right foot to the floor at any speed. You can do this while stopped as well to make the tires break loose and smoke. It's all about applying more force than the mechanical traction of the tires will allow on the road surface. It seems nowadays these kids need a button for everything. I'm sure if they could wire it into an iPhone or Android app it would be even better.

Agreed, the Republicans look fragmented and bickering but then just mention Israel and suddenly the Democrats don't look too unified either.

RC-4 is on its last legs, and there's isn't much of a consesus on what to replace it with.
Not to mention patent trolls lurking wanting to sue you if you use TLS with RC4.
How about 108? https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/deps/nss/+/50796110f60d034dfab3d8876f62d715f31aaa9f/nss/lib/freebl/chacha20/chacha20.c

Uhm, no It looks about 5 times the size in terms of apparent size. Here's a still from "End of Time."
Consider it a Chinese tire torture test.
If the tire fails after a minute then it's bad, if it lasts 3 minutes it's safe.
