Well -- working hard may be your only chance at a better life. You certainly won't have one by not working at all.

How far back…well there is a scripture in the Old Testament that essentially says if you are party to a crime then you are just as guilty as the one who committed the crime…so this common law practice actually dates back at least 4000 years. Also Japanese law held the same types of practices for thousands of years and Is m sure many other ancient cultures.

In-human; what does this mean? It has been a human condition throughout all ages to kill each other. So by basic observation one could easily conclude it is human to kill each other. Fortunately what has developed over the ages is a framework or legal system for reasons to do so as apposed to just the whim of one individual.

I was the CISO for a major bank for 16 years...year two of my tenure we completed the Least Privilege model and ran without a hitch...to this day.

...and a binary at all should not be able to be downloaded from the internet or pass through and email server. Additionally the only binary files running on any system should be known binaries. Least Privileged systems with tight change control don’t get hacked.

I was taught about all three (Black Tom, Lusitania and Zimmerman)...and there was a rather large contingent of people that wanted to go to war much sooner, just as there was in WW II, but due to the isolationist culture it was only overcome due to these pretty direct attacks.

I have had my office phone on Do Not Disturb for 5 years and my cell phone has all notifications turned off and the ringer is set to off. The only time i turn it on is if I am expecting a call - which is hardly ever. Same with my PC - no notifications...it helps a great deal to keep the tool a tool instead of letting it become your master.

Well kind in the theme of port knocking Postfix has a Grey Listing option which kind of works like that for spam though not the same thing.

I think that most initially looked down on the security through obscurity layer as flawed only because many people, a few years ago, thought that this is the only layer they needed. Somehow over time many people began to think that this layer is not useful at all. A little bit of thinking about the issue would absolve one of the approach to completely exclude that layer.

Also it is so easy and cheap to implement is another reason to discard it because in many organizations today people think that security can only be had by spending boatloads of money on people and software. Surely a simple, fast and cheap solution can't really reduce risk now can it?

And then on top of those things people do not think about, nor fully understand risk, hence the whole Covid 19 scare and the many other things in the world people are afraid of.

A friend of mine wondered what the RATIO between the four modes of pressure waves are. Waves are essentially a frequency (like pitch), and he was wondering if the ratio between these “frequencies” constitute a similar ratio between the pitches in a chord.

Pythagoros and Plato, while not making a direct proposal like Laplace, had some similar intuitions.

And also sounds great for those that now have to wait for an hour+ for a taxi or maybe not have a ride at all.

What made those zip codes good?

So...what is the mortality rate down to these days?

The time tested ancient and modern mechanism to settle such claims has been war. They lost the war. That is it; victors make the rules after that.

Not sure why people would down vote you - these are private companies we are talking about and they can do what they want I suppose. However I think the real rub here, that people seem to to have a hard time expressing, is that these platforms are blatantly hypocritical in what they allow or don't allow.

How exactly would one use this key nefariously? It seems to do so would require a whole chain of capabilities.

In any case it would make sense to have multiple master keys...say use a different master key for each batch of so many cards.. then if one key was compromised it wouldn't affect 12M cards.

I think the confusing part to many is that learning a language is actually learning several things and are as follows:

1. One has a to learn the physical skill to write different characters (some times). 2. Many times a language requires one to learn the physical skills of making different sounds and combinations of sounds with the mouth/tongue and throat. 3. One has to learn the skill of hearing and distinguishing words out of the amalgamation of them in the form of a sentence. 4. One has to learn the grammar of the language. 5. One has to associate the new words with the world around them; which would be vocabulary.

Most people think the last thing in this list is all they need to do and the rest will just happen - when it doesn't they get frustrated and give up. I think if they go into it knowing the different things they will need to learn and the different approaches to those skills that are best - we might have more successes.

An Attack? Pointing out the truth is an attack and flame bait? I see - only the hive mind is allowed.

That is a great little site you made. Thanks.

SO we are to be ruled by experts?

Show me the model produced by he experts that has been right? Show me the science behind the idea of quarantining the entire population in order to slow the spread of Covid-19. There is science behind quarantining sick people - but not healthy people. Show me the science behind the social distancing - 6 foot rule? I mean really - where IS the science to those things? These experts are self-proclaimed. I am more than willing to listen to a bridge builder tell me why I need to use a certain kind of steel as apposed to another - but many of these experts that we have been listening to lately are anything but experts.

The first part of this article touches on a key ingredient concerning mathematical models: assumptions.

Nobody is advocating to throw them under the bus. But the fact is since the virus is essentially unstoppable in its transmission rate everyone will be exposed to it...and what will be of those people will be of them. Their best hope is hospital care if they need it; our hospitals are not overwhelmed and neither are Sweden's...so these quarantine measures are an unnecessary burden.

This is just the first article I found at of many from many sources - I heard about it on MSNBC or somewhere like that when a reporter was asking him about it. This happened - it is a fact; the same thing occurred in Britain resulting in the same high death toll of elderly people. But bury your head - fine with me.

No, that is not how the timeline went. As to who created the panic - it was Neil, Fauci and their ilk along with the media. The media, instead of reporting that the data shows old and sick people are the ones dying chose to hide that relevant fact and just report the death toll ad nauseam with no context - as a matter of fact they are still doing it.

The model said if we don't lock things down China-style millions will die. But we see now from Sweden it was not true. See top graph: https://informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/covid-19-c...

Also Neil's other predictions have been completely wrong on the Swine Flu and Bird flu. Why this "expert in his field" is still listened to is a mystery to me.

Sounds like we don't need to worry about that...government does all on its own...https://nypost.com/2020/04/28/more-blood-on-gov-cuomos-hands...

So what is so dangerous about it? Perhaps you need to consult a dictionary as to what danger really is. I don't know these people that made the video and I don't subscribe to magic crystals or whatever they are pushing/saying but I do know what Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson from Imperial college created in his flawed modeling - a world wide panic. That is what has been dangerous. Google is a private company I suppose and they can do whatever they want but it would be better to leave their videos up so they can be "peer reviewed" and mocked if what they are saying is farcical. Just like we do with these ladies: https://youtu.be/B4s9GLWiUJM

Those men likely suffer from low T. One of the associated diseases that go along with Covid-19 deaths is diabetes - most men with diabetes have terrible Testosterone profiles. In addition those men, as we know from the stats are unhealthy as they come generally.

Notice the middle charts concerning age and disease.

Let me clarify some things. I meant to say there are NO COVID class vaccines. The common cold is caused by the Covid virus - no vaccines for it...no vaccines for any of the Covid viruses because their nature makes it difficult to create an effective one. If we manage to produce one it is a long shot and at this point should not even be really considered as a short or medium term solution.

The current stats surely indicate that the sick and old are the ones impacted. see here: https://tinyurl.com/ybtbqxsn Basically the ones in nursing homes or the ones that are so unhealthy that they are not producing much. This is also a fact that can not be contested. Sure you see on the news, adnauseam, the middle aged man that got sick and died and left a family - but they are the minority. Now just because I say that does not mean that the old and sick have NO economic benefit for somebody; sure nursing homes are a business and people make money from it - what I mean to clarify is that in terms of wealth generation, they produce very little in terms of net because usually people of this class are not working because they are old and sick.

I do certainly care about people - I am just saying our hospitals are not overwhelmed right now at all. The ones that will get sick we have capacity for, and the ones that are going to die from this will die. So we should move forward and suffer their loss now instead of cripple the economy and suffer their loss over time. Because what does a crippled economy leave us? More vulnerable in every way to every other threat - natural and man made.

Also, by your reasoning, we should quarantine everybody with AIDS, Tuberculosis and a host of other diseases...so why don't we? Why are the Covid-19 deaths the only ones that matter here?
