The fact that they lost a court case, rather than the users, says something about their implementation. There were several VPNs where this was not the case.
Question: With this method, what would you do if , in a few months, Microsoft flags the account and asks you to verify with a text SMS? (I'm aware if one sets up TOTP hopefully they wouldn't do this, but one never knows) - can you reactivate the SIM smoothly?
I think your parent comment is saying MS flags the account as questionable and asks you to confirm your current phone number (the one you already used a burner for).
Having TOTP enabled should ward off the "suspicious login" prompts that ask for your phone number. If they still want your phone number for whatever reason, you'll have no choice but to buy another burner phone, but there's no reason they wouldn't accept a new phone number. You did remove that phone number from your account, after all (people change their phone numbers all the time).
You can go to quest diagnostics or labscorb and order yourself a test for under 200$ (no insurance needed) that would do an entire panel on you. I did this and then called a teledoc for like 40$ (copay) and had them go over hte results with me. It's pretty sweet.
If you make 100K a year in Canada you pay $29,986 in taxes of which about a third goes to healthcare, so $10000 annually and you still won't get tested preventatively.
The difference is that the US cost is true whether you're wealthy or poor (above a certain margin). In Canada, if you make the median household income of $35k, you presumably pay proportionally less (or even less than that; I can't be bothered to look up the progressive taxation margins) in taxes, so $3500 max.
You got a cholesterol test and only a cholesterol test? That was what the parent comment is about. Tests vary a lot by test. LabCorp states their prices very clearly.
Hundreds of different ones. Granted you still need some level of medical expertise to be able to accurately interpret results on a lot of them but a smart enough layman could probably self diagnose some illnesses with enough homework.
We even need a prescription for repeat labs. So if my doctor is away for personal reasons for a month and I need to have my [thing that I get tested every month] checked, I can't without having to navigate the entire healthcare system to find a workaround.
I would be easy for me to interpret the results as my doctor is clear that [number] should not fall under [threshold]. It even comes back highlighted in red on the result sheet if it falls under that number. And I have clear instruction on what to do if that happens.
Charging back on your Amazon prime account will quickly get it closed. Any gift balance you have goes with it. You can probably keep access to your digital purchases if you complain enough.
It certainly doesn't sound legal to invalidate your gift card balance, and it seems at least in one case a banned person received reimbursement in the form of a check.
> “All open orders were canceled, I just could access digital content purchased in the account. I had over $100 in my gift card balance and Amazon agreed to send me the refund, I received a check in my mailbox after 1 week,” wrote Do, who calculated that his rate of return for Amazon is about 17% — ordering 104 items and returning 18.
In my experience their gateway is not great and serves captchas occasionally if you're requesting rare content they don't have cached. I ended up just running my own node at a provider supporting bandwidth alliance and putting cloud flare in front of that.
Yea, I have run postgres/citus on zfs with petabytes of data. His analysis on record size is lacking. E.g there is a trade-off between compression vs record size. More compression means more effective iops
Please see the reddit discussion -- there's some great feedback there on this very point, and some experienced contacts actually think I didn't go far enough, better results at even more than 16k as long as you can control write amplification and fragmentation.
I hope we can lure more of the wizards sitting in their chairs out there to give more talks and write more content in 2022 -- there is so much knowledge on how to run these systems that hasn't been shared yet. I'm spoiled but I want more.
Of course, both of them are not ready for security-related tasks such as terminal sharing. So treat them like a "console" streaming service there you broadcast your terminal to the world.
Streamhut can be made more secure with some configuration tricks, namely, don't expose it's TCP port to the public, instead, only expose it's HTTP service. Then you can create a back tunnel (with SSH -L for example) to feed data into it's TCP port in a safer manner.
However, I'd imagine a better option is to beg miguelmota the author to add support for websocket in the cli client, that way the feeder connection can be protected by TLS rather than just a raw TCP.
