Fun fact: In California, it is illegal to pay employees with checks drawn on a Bank of America checking account. This is because Bank of America charges a $5 for non-customers to cash checks issued by customers, and California Labor Code Se

Comparing 100,000 flight hours to 100,000,000 miles seems strange to me. If you assumed an average speed of 50MPH, that would be: Commercial Aviation (per 100,000 flight hours): 0.022 General Aviation (per 100,000 flight hours): 1

That was probably the precheck lane. They send randos through it every once in a while. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a sales pitch or if controlling the lines plays into it. I have precheck and have never seen a dog there,

I'd call them to cancel. If they refuse, or don't provide a way to contact them, I'd probably try a chargeback.

This is called an interpolation search[0]. Works well on data with a known distribution and is useful especially useful when reading is expensive. 0. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpolation_search

Firefox does. IE will eventually and it will also ignore errors caused by user install certs when it does (no, I don't have a source on this, but I am very confident that it will).

look does a binary search and only works on sorted files, while grep '^string' works on any text file but would be slower.

It looks like if you have at least 110% your previous year's tax withheld and don't have self employment income you do not need to pay quarterly taxes. https://turbotax.intuit.com/tax-tools/tax-tips/Small

You may be able to move to avoid the tax, but FTB will scrutinize it. If it appears to be a temporary move just to avoid taxes they will try to collect. https://www.ftb.ca.gov/individuals/fileRtn/Nonresidents_Part.

Federal AMT is 26-28% plus 7% for California AMT.

More than a year - the tax won't be due until April 15th of the following year. This will give you time to hold the stock for a year (getting long term capital gains rates when you sell). Really though, talk to a CPA.

I have a co2doctor[0,1] kit, a 20lb capacity tank from amazon (bought new - you can get them used but then you don't know where they've been or how clean they are...) and filled it for about $30 at Carbonic Service[2] in Santa Cla

That seems to work out to around 25 cents per 12 floz which is not a whole lot cheaper than the cans from costco. A four pack of two-liters is $4: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/coke-4-2-liter-bottle/prod96004... wh

FWIW, you can buy a sodastream unit for ~$70 and then for another $200 to $300 get a conversion kit and a large co2 cylinder and from then on the cost of carbonation works out to less than three cents per liter. Not sure what the syrup cost

Do not call 911 from your cell phone if you are at home. You'll most likely (at least in the bay area) get CHP, and their dispatch center frequently has hold times of several minutes. More than enough time for it to be too late. Inst

It might be relevant if there were any evidence that this sort of discrimination was widespread, but I don't think there is.

You can inject hooks into the certificate validation routines to make your certificates accepted, hook the actual encrypt/decrypt functions, or make the session establishment routines leak the master secret.

Those hundreds of trusted root certificates are, at least to some extent, held to operational and security standards. If your ISP used one of those certificates to MitM your traffic, there is a very real possibility of that certificate bein

I've posted this idea elsewhere, but it seems relevant again. What about, as a compromise, adding a new ExtendedKeyUsage bit for "TrafficInterception" that must be set on the CA (probably would need to be on the root and all

It's pretty trivial to detect if a browser trusts your CA with client side javascript. Such javascript could be injected into HTTP pages and throw up a div covering the page until the certificate is installed (instructions provided, of
