Most sites allow spaces in passwords now. I tend to pick a lyric from a song, or something related to a character from a movie or book, for example, "The postman is a terrible move, great b00k". Pretty easy to remember, long enough, and meets complexity requirements. Sometimes my AD Linux integration chokes on special characters, so I'll simplify it to something like this "Dune_is_0verated".
Wouldn't it be great if there was some way to subscribe to a service where a knowledgeable person could negotiate these prices for you? Someone who is familiar with price history, equivalent services, and how much allows a healthy but not exorbitant markup?
Your either a twat or intentionally mis-stating the issue. The actual. The health company was happy to gouge their customer for about $1k, just because we don't know any better.
Anthem steps in and says, "Wait a minute, that test doesn't cost you anywhere near that much. We'll pay a markup, but not a ridiculous markup." Thus the cost is reduced over $1k.
In every other country in the world, there is some central authority that would see this exorbitant price gouging and smack the pee-pee of whoever is doing it. In the US, we have to rely on our Health Insurance company to do it. This is further complicated when you consider not all Insurance companies are as competent as each other. Humana might pay $500 for that same $44 dollar Anthem test.
To get a proper picture of US healthcare you have to understand all the layers.
Customer selects the care, with no idea what it will cost. Health Insurance pays the bill, or whatever part of it is considered fair. The customer might pay what the Health Insurance company doesn't, but it will still be at the "reduced" health insurance rate. (It should be, but good luck verifying this discount is in place) The customer's employer selects the insurance company. The employee gets no real say in whether it's a good insurance company, or a bad one. They might have some minor plan selections, but usually no way to discern plan differences besides cost. They don't know if one negotiated $44 tests and one pays $400. The employer pays the insurance company, or part of it, the amount the pay varies with no real way for them to know what other companies are paying and no way for employees to know what other employers are paying.
You have multiple opaque areas, with no competition, and no ability to distinguish differing results.
openZFS is not even in the Kernel, btrfs is in the upstream kernel. It's silly to think that OpenZFS will ever get better RHEL support the btrfs. I use btrfs on openSuSE and it works great.
It's a quick unlock code, but often a more cumbersome process to get things opened up initially. When a biometric becomes the default password instead of functioning as a quick access pin, they are displacing better security. It's better to have no password and then a strong one if the phone is off or idle for an extended time.
Bingo, you can't protect against everything, but you can make yourself a harder target. For example, I store my address in my google maps address, because I use it to navigate traffic. I now this is a trade off, however, I don't tag it as my "home" address, which will obfuscate me from the majority of the automated processing.
I wonder how easily adapted this would be to, for example, identify everyone attending a strip club, or maybe collect data from everyone in an area known for prostitution or drug use. In the past, people have received letters indicating their car was seen in an area known for prostitution, this could be an interesting tool.
usually you can overpay and it will just refund the extra to your card, or only charge the amount you pumped, not sure which. I've never tried it, but i have driven away without pumping (yeah, dumbass) and the purchase went back to my card.
Regardless, you're cherry picking a single infamous cattle town, and ignoring the fact that for the vast majority of people living in the west, someone (anyone!) in their town getting killed (let alone with a gun) wasn't a daily, weekly, or even monthly occurrence.
I didn't read the article, but I'm a bit heartened that at least this seems to indicate they aren't storing CC numbers forever, like so many companies.
3 years, not 10 for no pregnancy, and no reference to:
"two bitches took the drug and then went out, had unprotected sex, got pregnant and then when they had flipper babies played the lawsuit lotto got a fortune and caused the drug to be taken off the shelves in the USA" then you win a cigar!
The only lawsuit I'm digging up in any searches is an ocular injury.
Nobody uses bitlocker for personal encryption, and there is no real evidence of backdoors. It's like the American Cheese of encryption, it gets alot of use in unimportant places.

money is speech, didn't you know that?
Let's fix that.

Now pretend you get 0% to 1% annual raises.
Show me the distribution that is shipping zfs as a core component. I can show you the one shipping btrfs, opensuse.
btrfs is still the future, Red Hat and Ubuntu are not cutting edge distros, they are focusing on stability.
Only Red Hat has dropped support for btrfs. Mainly because they use a patchwork kernel that is really old.
openZFS is not even in the Kernel, btrfs is in the upstream kernel. It's silly to think that OpenZFS will ever get better RHEL support the btrfs.

App Armor has a GUI and ncurses environment on OpenSuSE.

Sure, that's why there are so many conservatives who refuse to say who they voted for...
They can absolutely infer it, but when someone queries the home location of every user in the database, mine shows up empty. Privacy is a layer.

As long as your only including white people...

It can easily be put behind a VPN where you can control such access.
Baseball is the perfect sport for radio listening, or napping...
Well, each of the nodes will be running a full windows stack and some sort of wireless channel for side loading ads, those have to be flashy too.
I think they are phrasing it wrong. There is value in knowing how a computer thinks, but not necessarily in everyone coding.
You know they didn't even come out of the locker room for the Anthem before 2009.
