Clearly there is a market, why hasn't American Style medicare identified and kickstarted this already?
Oh, it's because the profit isn't BIG enough. It's too open source.
Chew on that for a while next time you vote in the old USA.
heh - I'd love to see your FDA-Compliant paperwork on your homemade open source project. You know, the complete device history and quality data that would be used in the event of an odd occurrence (which in business might trigger a recall to repair or replace those products). Do you have ANY idea how much quality crap and documentation has to be handled to release a medical device that doesn't even get ingested or implanted?
Oh you don't have that?
That's what you're paying for - either you bitch about the cost, or you bitch when something goes wrong 1/10000% of the time and want the CEOs heads.
You can't have it both ways.
That's nothing. I won't get out of bed for less than $250K. Just not worth it.
Yeah. That's the right attitude. Let the recruiters know what we are worth.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but I do the same thing, ESPECIALLY for recruiters - they do NOT have your best interests in mind. IMHO, when I talk to a recruiter, it's only because it's a position of interest. It seems to me recruiters tend to treat the prospect like they're applying to anything that passes in front of them.
Of course, you have to be PC about it: "I just want you to know, I'd prefer not to waste anyone's time - and while this job sounds like something that's right up my alley, if the job doesn't pay 'x', I'm just not interested."
Even if it doesn't get back to the employer, the recruiter is aware.
So you created an account, were emailed the password, and that's it? THAT"S the problem? You never saved your payment information - which if you use Visa/MC you're 100% protected from fraudulent transactions. And an attacker would gain what? Knowledge of the sex toys you like?
Not even sure why I'm wasting time posting this.
Next time before you post stupidity, actually do a risk assessment. Too much 'security research' is concentrated on a single action, and people are having a REALLY hard time seeing the big picture (or the 'forest through the trees').
The reason they're not responding to you is because you're not worth their time. They have products to ship, and actual customer service to provide. They will have zero problem dropping a pain in the ass customer with minor complaints that they want to publicize for their own personal gain.
Modern cars use proprietary designs and even smallest modification would require you to re-flash software. While it is possible, and there are 'dealer' keys out there, modern cars are overly complex.
Your best bet is to get something classic and not too rare.
I agree. Get a Honda from the 90s. OBD2 will give you good insight into the ECU, plus there won't be engine components crammed into every nook and cranny of the engine bay. And the Keys - my god the keys. If you don't want to pay $100 just to copy your key, avoid that proprietary garbage.
I've got a '93 Del Sol. Only OBD1, but fun to drive, parts are easily found and there's a ton of info available about Civics. My 2005 Pathfinder needs a new key, and I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money for what's worth $1 to me.
Sign your outgoing emails. If it's in the remote user's Spam folder, then it's not blocked, it's filtered. And since your IP is coming from a known poor reputation provider, you already have an uphill battle.
Same thing happened in my Middle School science class. One kid got a hold of the teachers copy of the final, and a bunch of kids cheated - including twin friends of mine. The administration did the same thing - "Tell us if you cheated, and it'll be ok".
The brother admitted to it, and was held back. The sister stayed quiet and moved on to high school.
I was InfoSec at a Fortune 500 company that moved to Google Apps and the Security rep for the email migration. SSO and account verification was to accomplished via SAML - so we could restrict non-exempt employees and consultants, etc. Not having worked with it before, I setup SimpleSAMLphp on my Windows laptop using my personal domain on Google. It took me about 40 minutes to get my local AD credentials to auth to my domain on Google.
They paid $1mil for 4 servers to do the same thing.
Ah, come on. Open source intelligence? What's unusual about this?
I remember from Tom Clancy's "Clear and Present Danger" where the CIA was watching Cable News, getting lots of information from what was freely available from the likes of CNN and Fox. I also remember watching CNN reporting from Down Town Baghdad while the US was dropping bombs at the start of desert storm. Can you say instant BDA on the raid? "Yes, our power just went out! Good thing we have battery powered equipment so we can show you what's happening next to ground zero. Oh wow, Baghdad TV just went off the air too!" You know that this often happens in real life.
What's important about this story is that the North Koreans messed up, assuming they intended to keep this development a secret. Somehow, I doubt they made a mistake, but this release was calculated, knowing that the west would figure out what's going on. They are simply too controlling.
The assumption is that the west didn't know anything about it. I bet the CIA has rooms full of people going over satellite images of North Korea that would make Google Maps look like something Magellan used.
I would be surprised if the west didn't know about it.
Now, that's totally different from discovering the Icelandic military (is there one?) has ICBMs. I would assume that's not a place we're actively looking to protect ourselves from.
I was wondering why anyone would DDOS a mining pool. It doesn't seem to me like that would be an effective method of stealing cyrpto-currency, but the Government surely doesn't like it, so there's the answer.

The statistics are "collected from W3Schools' log-files..." So an English-language site for people interested in standards compliant web development is now considered an accurate proxy for browser usage? I think not. Predictably, the results are way out of line with, well, pretty much everyone:
FTFY- We all know anyone who does dev in IE isn't concerned with standards compliance.
I can tell you from experience that 'lack of rules' does not prevent bullying.
And that's not what happened here either, from the story. They gave the kids toys, which kept them occupied. That's what happened. Some of the toys were slightly dangerous (like trees for climbing, one example), and that's why they called it 'getting rid of rules.'
This more reminds me of the 'new at the time' Kindergarten teacher "Hi, so your child is restless, do you mind if we tie him to a chair? Our professors say that children "
"Lady, you're telling me you can't control a 5yr old little boy? They're the definition of restless. Is he running around the room? "
"No"
"Is he beating on other kids"
"No no, he's just restless and doesn't always pay attention"
"As I said, that's what a little boy does. You have to attract his attention, not expect it. Make it interesting for him - that's your job."
With regards to this subject, lifestyle is one of the biggest contributors to cognitive performance or lack thereof. It only makes sense to start there. If the TV won't turn on you don't first take it to a TV repair man, you check to see if the bloody thing is even plugged and branch out from there.
I agree. So in that he has already researched the problem, shouldn't diet/exercise already have been addressed?
Perhaps you need to re-read the question... He reports that he is slow of mind and has difficulty with recollection then asks for help with this. To what do you point to in my post regarding improving his cognitive abilities as off-topic?
You're assuming that he must have a poor diet. That's just as likely as him having a poor sex life. Neither can be alluded to by details in the parent post.
Maybe he should lay off the weed.
Maybe he should take fish-oil supplements.
Maybe he should get a C-PAP machine.
Ok - I suppose - other than lack of sleep since childhood, there's really not much detail to go on and just about any suggestion is a shot in the dark.
There are plenty of chemical/herbal compounds that you can take to improve cognitive abilities. However, aside from sleep with respect to controllable factors the absolute most powerful contributors to cognitive abilities are your diet and exercise. Both eating low quality (unhealthy) food as well as a sedentary lifestyle degrade cognitive performance immensely.
My advise to you would be to ditch McRotten and visit your local gym regularly. As a side benefit you just might find yourself sleeping better too.
Huh? Talk about a shot in the dark. Your post is about as on-topic as the "You just need to get more sex, Bro", post.
That said, I do agree with both, but neither really address the OPs issue.
Yes, I'm not sure why the unencrypted card stripe data needs to be anywhere except in the little black box (LBB) that swipes the card and the bank's computer.
The interface between the cash register and LBB could/should be.
What bank? Here is the basic process:
User (swipe)-> Merchant (dial)-> Front-End Processor (T1) -> card issuer.
At least the first 6 digits need to be unencrypted so the transaction attempt can be routed to the correct bank. Of course, with terminals accepting Amex (15 digits), and proprietary cards - it's probably not even that easy.
As it is, (though I've been out of the biz for 5 years), there are no terminals that encrypt the transaction end to end. The front-ends only accept unencrypted data (via encrypted transmission).
Food stamps feed 1 in 7 Americans and cost almost $80 billion a year, twice what it cost five years ago a cut of $2 billion a year in food stamps could trigger in an increase of $15 billion in medical costs
So medical costs have dropped $300 billion in the last 5 years? I rather doubt they've dropped at all. It seems to me if we've been increasing food stamps to help people, and food stamps have SOME SORT of correlation with medical costs, they should be SOME SORT of decease in medical costs over the last 5 years.
> How about when the girl gets on welfare with one kid you tell her "Here's the pill, here's where you can get condoms.
That's fine in theory. Except for the fact that the people that want to gut Food Stamps also want to destroy sex education and any form of family planning. The openly attack the private organizations that provide birth control pills and condoms to would be welfare mothers.
As a grandfather, let me assure you these private organizations aren't providing 'family planning'. They're colluding with, and encouraging, underage girls to have sex without their parents involvement and knowledge. "But it's 'family planning'" they say. Oh really, do those places meet the partners? hahahaha
I was once as naive as you. Now I'm a grandfather. At best, those places need WAY more oversight.
as I and everyone I know stopped using it years ago.
I frigg'n wish. Unfortunately my incompetent security group insists on McAfee. Most people in my office don't even come in on Tuesdays anymore because that's virus scan day. It starts a 1AM and nothing on your machine will work until at least 3PM. If you don't turn your machine on until 7 or 8 PM you'll be lucking to get out of the office by bedtime. McAfee has absolutely no ability to scale CPU usage, it's 100% all the time.
I had the same experience when we were 'integrated' with a new parent company. My (admittedly) VERY trimmed down PCs couldn't handle their McAfee install - but I wouldn't call them a 'security group'. I had to argue with them that 'spyware/malware' was a separate module (a new PCI requirement at the time), which fortunately saved us from installing their crap. They also declared my recently moved db server PCI Compliant because they put it in a physical cage.
I could go on and on about that place - I've never gotten a clearer message to get the hell out.
Some debit cards offer a guarantee of loss prevention. Chase issues such cards. Since I got used to using a debit card I rarely handle any cash at all. Most months I have less than $5. in cash for the entire month. It is rare that I go anywhere that won't accept my Chase Visa debit card.
I had 5 Chase credit cards at the beginning of 2013 with about $45k in credit. After they called me regarding ~$50 in itunes charges that I didn't recognize, and I wasn't able to find any record of in my own itunes accounts (and my cards are kept in a safe when not in use), they decided to 're-evaluate' my credit and knocked me down to about $15k in retaliation - on all my credit accounts. Which, of course, knocked my credit score down 10 points.

Stormy? The crew on our other ship in the area said it was so nice the native babes were swimming topless....
We were attacked by pirates. Fortunately, we were able to fend them off, but we lost Joe (who actually deserted).
