The CDC has issued guidance that the COVID-19 vaccines and routine vaccines can be administered without regard for each other’s schedules including at the same time. As I understand it, there are a few reasons why this wasn’t always the case (including wanting to isolate COVID-19 vaccine symptoms and side effects from others at the start of the rollout).

My favorite version of this trend remains http://alwayshttp.com because https://alwayshttp.com doesn't work since alwayshttp.com:443 doesn't connect.

On the other hand, it's possible to reach https://coffeeshopwifi.com and (with a cloudfront certificate error) https://neverssl.com which makes me wonder if something in whatever I'm using is trying to upgrade to HTTPS when I fail to reach them.

Card networks offer services to receive updated credit card numbers for mutual customers now and have for a bunch of years.

If your credit card expires, many subscription providers will get the updated details automatically.

Here’s an article with some details on the topic: https://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/card-updater-se...

While returns are made more complicated by Google and Apple Pay, the card numbers aren’t single-use (which I’m not sure if you mean to imply is the case with google pay today). On both iOS and Android you can view the last few digits of the Device/Virtual Account Number.

I don’t have an Android device to test these instructions on but they seem plausible and corroborated: https://supportcentre.natwestinternational.com/Searchable/91...

When I made a return for an Apple Pay purchase at Target, they saw that the transaction was marked “Tapped” as card type and took my word for which card was correct. Who knows how long that’ll last. Where I really expect to run into problems down the line is when I try to take advantage of the insurance benefits offered by cards and can’t produce an invoice/receipt with the expected card number on it.

Unfortunately (from some perspectives), this isn’t true. Each instance of a card in Apple Pay has a long term Device Account Number (DAN) that functions the same as a physical card’s number (though there is no link between the DAN and actual card number from the merchant’s perspective). The same DAN is used across every transaction. The only way to get a new one (which is pretty easy, relatively speaking) is to unload the card from Apple Pay then re-enroll.

Are you saying that there are zero people that take the MARC commuter rail out of Odenton and transfer to Metro?

People that would (without Metro) have no way of getting from MARC to their DC jobs would disagree with you that Metro it doesn't reduce congestion on 295 and other congested roads that pass through Anne Arundel.

It already does work like this in iOS 11. Apps can present the System photo picker to you and receive only your selected photo while having their Photos access set to "Never".

If you want to try it out install the Wire messenger (if you make the account with a web browser you don't need to provide a phone number), and try to attach a photo but deny Photo library permissions. (Here's the buttons to press: https://imgur.com/a/gc5Iq). Other apps work this way on iOS 11 but this is the one that came to mind.

Five incorrect/bad fingerprint reads will require passcode.

Regardless of SNI the certificate is unencrypted (until TLS 1.3).

Additionally, FPGAs offer better cryptographic algorithm agility than ASICs. With an FPGA you stand a much better chance of being able to upgrade your expensive network hardware with quantum resistant algorithms.

Where would that software auto-update get the decryption key from? If the user has enabled a passcode, then their passcode is used in generation of the key used to protect the disk encryption key. Even if apple did push an update, the user would still have to unlock their device post-update.

Maryland (at least around Baltimore and DC, in my experience) often feels like a no-region's-land: many Southerners will claim it's the North and Northerners will claim that it's the South. Maryland definitely feels like it's where the lines blur.

In the case of this specific paper from this specific conference, you're in a lot of luck. USENIX put out the full proceedings as a giant PDF, an ePub, and a Mobi ([1]).

If you want to reflow arbitrary pdfs, then you should check out k2pdfopt ([2]). It's how I read academic papers on my Kindle. It does lots of tricks to slice out a useful format from pdfs of many different formats and make them pretty solid on a different screen size.

The paper won't be available to everyone until Wednesday at [1], but:

> Altogether, of the 639,283 [Android] apps in our data-set, 45 implement pinning.

As a non-CA resident I've benefitted from these stickers. One time I was given a bar set which included a shaker which had a sticker on it that said something along the lines of "This product contains lead paint which the state of California has found to be hazardous…"

> If we accept LGBTQ as a circuitry of the mind, why don't we treat homophobia the same?

Are you telling me that you think some people are biologically predisposed towards homophobia?

Just because people have the right to exercise free speech does not indemnify them from the consequences. Drawing broad strokes about how we should respect people's rights to express opinions while not judging them for those opinions is not practical. It's all shades of gray.

Here's just the original video that comprises all of the content in this post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eSrdgTHhK0

Nokia as a company has existed since the 1800s and first released a mobile telephone in the 1960s. Apple was incorporated in 1977. Motorola is the company that came out with the first handheld mobile phone in the 1970s.

You have made sweeping and broad overgeneralizations that betray the complexity of the situation. Apple's masterstroke was not in inventing the concept of a smartphone, but in producing one that provided a much better user experience that the rest of the market. As for the differences in hardware and rf engineering, I'll leave that to someone more qualified to explain because my knowledge in the area is far from complete.

I believe that they were talking specifically about the programs which create orders which are never fulfulled. That way their programs creating real trades have an advantage (since they are running on servers located closer to the exchanges).

That isn't what security through obscurity ever means though. You're taking the words at face value while everyone else is using the words for what they actually mean.

Security by obscurity doesn't refer to the secrets used as keys but instead to the way those keys are stored used to perform authentication.

I'm sorry, but your logic here is just terrible. Your argument is that "I don't want an iPad" and "The iPad isn't a full computer" implies that "Nobody needs/wants LaTeX on an iPad". This doesn't logically follow and is instead a self-centered presumption that because you don't want something, nobody else does.

They want LaTeX on their iPads, I would like LaTeX on my iPad, and I have met other people who also want LaTeX on their iPads. When I'm taking notes, LaTeX works well for me (I'm not claiming for everyone) when I need to type up equations. I use my iPad with a bluetooth keyboard to take notes (the iPad's battery life (amongst other things) makes it very attractive for this application). I'd like to be able to render my equations to make sure I didn't make a transcription error.

I'd just like to quickly point out that the pie charts for "What gets talked about on the inside" are somewhat useless because they not only don't add up to 100%, but the sum of percentages for the facebook charts doesn't equal the sums of the corresponding google chart (e.g. cons: sum of facebook percentages: 26%, google: 22%)

That isn't the least bit of what's happening here. Google's streetview cars simply map your router's SSID (actually, as far as I can tell, it's the MAC address) to coordinates that the car's GPS provide. They allow for devices to determine their location more quickly than acquiring a GPS lock and more accurately than relying on cellular tower triangulation. When you combine all three, you get phones that can figure out their current location quickly and accurately.

At no level is google telling people where to find free WiFi. They simply provide a correspondence between MAC addresses of nearby routers and latitude-longitude.
