from wikipedia: "Ridgeland Correctional Institution is a state prison for men located in Ridgeland, Jasper County"

> "During a Tuesday press conference, McMaster lifted the evacuation order for Jasper County."

sounds like they aren't doing anything wrong?

Edit: just took a look at a topo map, it appears that the prison is ~10 feet higher than the surrounding land, so should be significantly more immune to flooding than a standard residence. https://imgur.com/a/x2SDcuX (excuse the JPEGging)

I would assume that most people have been unhappy for as long as there have been people.

>So I’m starting to suspect that fretting about bloatware is more of a mental health problem than a software problem.

I wouldn't call this style of writing 'pretty good'. Asserting that anyone who worries about something he doesn't worry about has a mental health problem is pretty arrogant.

it was clearly a sarcastic post.

And the people will collectively vote for representatives who hand smack downs to these companies.

I used to work on the android VRP doing report analysis; I can confidently say that we never intentionally ignored or downgraded reports to save money. There were a few cases of things slipping through the cracks by missing bug assignees, but the majority of the engineering staff really did want those researchers to get as large of a payout as we could justify, and I imagine other companies/VRPs are in a similar position.

I think the true root cause of the payment discrepancy issue we see in this article is the bias towards believing the vulnerabilities that we find are more significant than they may be. It often can be either a matter of pride, or sometimes just a misunderstanding of the severity guidelines as published.

I think your idea of "serious security issue" differs from googles. nobody cares if you can cause a local crash with some bad js in the console.

invading requires intent to occupy

When it comes to tourist visas, its really all about how likely is a person from X going to overstay their visa in Y. This is why many places conduct interviews and ask for travel details. I know a few wealthy people from countries like Myanmar who have no issue getting visas.

Canada is easily considered a first-world / powerful passport country.

Several thousand citizens can donate to a political campaign, which spends their money, rather than a PAC.

we seriously will take your security/privacy

I would imagine that both MIT and Caltech have a higher acceptance rate for legacy for this reason. However a side effect of them not keeping track is that we will never have the breakout of those rates.

Isn't that good though? The scientists who make new discoveries get paid to do so, rather than just some random person with a gpu in their closet?

There are useful cases for opioids, but it's a tiny percentage of the cases where they are being prescribed today. think treating traumatic amputation, for example.

The reason that ibuprofen works for kidney stones is that it actually treats the cause, which is swelling in the ureter caused by a sharp rock ripping it up from the inside. For many types of severe pain, ibuprofen won't do much.

Strong pain killers are still somewhat useful for kidney stones however; When I had one a few years ago I was unable to keep any larger dose in my stomach long enough to metabolize it before the pain made me vomit. I got prescribed dilauded which was able to act fast enough to give the ibuprofen time to kick in.

But definitely consider destroying your opioids if you no longer need them, I think there are some common household chemicals which will break them down to a non-potent form, so we don't end up with them in places like puget sound.

It's not about effectiveness; lectures are the added value that the university system provides to the educational process. I don't need to be paying thousands a year to have someone point out the best videos to watch online, or to pick problem numbers from a math textbook, or to come up with project ideas, or any of that. The whole point of lectures is for experts to share their knowledge. Universities are (ideally) a funding mechanism to ensure that there is enough capital to support those who want to teach, and they generate the capital by keeping many of those lectures private.

I would 100% rather watch a live person give a talk than burn out my eyes on another online video where I can't even ask real time questions.
