It depends. I have three kids. Given unlimited access one of them would never leave the screen. From March to June, he watched 684 shorts and videos on YouTube with his school issued Chromebook- that’s just during school hours. So, there ar

Problem is that many services denylist “data center” ip ranges, making these vpns neigh unusable for things like watching Netflix or in some cases even logging into eBay and such. I’ve run a private vpn for extended family off of my residen

The problem with the logical conclusion of this argument is that it’s networks all the way down. Remember verisign site finder? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_Finder That’s the sort of crap you end up with when e

Believe me, these people don’t give a shit. I am well aware of cultural differences across regions. They see your meddling questions as just another annoyance in their day and the faster they can get you to go away the better. 99% of their

I love what you say, but how does one realistically implement this today? I can’t exactly call up a hospital and say “cut the bullshit. I need a single price for procedure x”. They’ll just laugh and hang up the phone. (I’ve tried- most rece

I’ll be honest when I don’t have an urgent issue it’s hard to layer on additional mental load to compare prices. When my wife was diagnosed with cancer, how do I realistically compare prices? What services should I ask them to quote? How do

I am trying to not take your comment personally. I understand that many medical services are not urgent. Part of the problem in the US at least is that ERs are obligated to stabilize any patient that walks through the door, regardless of ab

The problem for me is emergency care is where I’ve easily spent the most healthcare dollars. Providers already treat you with disdain and the back office in most doctors offices can hardly function as it is. When you ask how much something

I’d love to see the shopping around that you can do when you need urgent medical care. “Hold please 911, I need to first get three competing quotes for ambulance service”

Of course not. But for a low price of $8 per month per drive you can subscribe to the new WD+ service, which will remove those pesky warnings, unlock your drives performance for streaming workloads, and give your management a warm fuzzy fee

There are several examples of “ghost planes” where the flight crew is unconscious due to the cabin depressurizing. The flight then continues on autopilot until the fuel is exhausted. By the way, one of the initial side effects of hypoxia is

In the Authenticode spec, there is an unauthenticatedAttrbutes structure, the contents of which does not affect the resulting signature. Dropbox’s installer used it a while ago (maybe still, haven’t checked): https://news.ycombin

Wow. That escalated quickly. It has nothing to do with the fact he was Muslim and everything to do with the fact that there were no attempts to contact other planes or atc for help. I do not appreciate your false assertion and encourage you

It’s obvious that we cannot know for sure since we have not found the wreckage, but no other theory I’m aware of can fit the facts as we know them.

I had a feeling someone would try and do this calculation. :) I would calculate it instead based on the number of flights rather than the number of airmen. It doesn’t make any sense if the units for the numerator are “number of successful s

Right- in the FedEx case it was a last ditch effort to literally knock the suicidal flight crew member off his balance and regain control of the aircraft. If you have a 'nanny' computer telling you that you're unable to do th

Yes. This is dangerous because pilots are afraid to disclose depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions for fear of losing their livelihood. For example, the FAA automatically considers an ADHD diagnosis disqualifying for airlin

One could say that about all sorts of capabilities in an aircraft that, in normal operation, seems insane. Is there ever a valid reason to fly a cargo plane inverted? See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Express_

The difference is that the mh370 pilot deliberately took actions to avoid tracking. At some point if you can’t trust the captain of your vessel, that person can disrupt or disable most any system put in place. If the captain of the titanic

You’d be surprised how many “virus scanners” are implemented with poorly coded C parsers running as privileged user with no sandboxing… just saying, kind of asking for trouble.

Without active authentication, you can copy the electronic data from one valid passport to a cloned document. As far as I know, AA is not widely implemented and passports have ~10 year lifespans.

100% agree. They are trying to deflect blame onto "old lawyer scared of scary new technology". Why they thought they'd get away with making up entire cases out of whole cloth, who knows...
