Maybe not - but I work in a regulated industry, we had an employee get phished a few years ago, and the regulatory bodies wanted detailed records of all phishing testing and training conducted for the previous 5 years. So for some of us it's a necessary evil.
I'm in the midst of a transfer of enterprise account ownership with with Apple, and I can assure you, the only way to complete it is to wait for a phone call from Apple Support from 1-512-884-5022. You can call this number back and verify it is indeed Apple Support and get notified it does not accept inbound calls, only outbound.
Google Cloud will not cut you a break unless you have an incredible about of pull. Even then, you won't get much of one.
There's a reason why the jackpots seem bigger...

My Insta360 X3 shuts down quite a bit for heat too. Maybe these Ace Pros are better.
We have plans to visit for this coming New Years, (unless things get dramatically worse I suppose). Excited in reading your comment.
I don't disagree with your statement, but I'll note that as it pertains to engines in the GA world, there's not a lot of options that weren't designed in the 40s.
A myriad of things: Octane, ethanol, and also additives used in the winter vs the summer.
I'm an airplane owner, and I agree. If they had outlawed it, I bet the solution would have come a lot faster.
There's also distribution problems. Jet fuel aside, most airports only have one tank for servicing avgas. Once they switch over to non-leaded, now they have a customer base that may not be able to buy from them. Those revenues go to fund the airport operation.
There's going to have to be a concerted effort to fix type certificates and fuel distribution all at the same time. A slow effort is going to be more problematic.
Totally, but people on medicaid are people who essentially don't have money, right? In order to qualify, you must be below certain asset and income limits.
We have DPC, and it's amazing. We pay $250/month for a family of 4. Some places charge less, but then also charge you for each time you see the doctor. Ours is all inclusive except for any in office incidentals - like lab work.
It's truly amazing. Our doctor knows us all well, can get responses to email or text within just a few minutes, generally same day appointments, or next day if she's really busy. Most things we don't even need to go in for - I did a recent international trip, and she just ordered me all of the needed travel medications without having to stop in.
My wife got suckered into one a few days ago (though hung up before anything bad happened). We ordered a replacement pair of glasses for my daughter, and the store said they would call when the glasses came in so we could pick them up.
Flash forward a few days, and she gets an automated called saying something akin to "Your delivery is on hold, please press 1", so she did, and got connected to an "agent" who she started talking with. In her conversation it became obvious to me it was a scammer, so I told her to hang up, but not before she got overly concerned at me.
She's pretty aware of these things, but it was just a right place at the right time kind of thing that caught her off guard even though there were plenty of warning signs.
Maybe not quite the same, but https://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com/ shuts down every Saturday for observation of the sabbath.

Did it come and "go", though? A lot of that money was earmarked for local and state government programs, and at least from what I'm seeing, a lot of those projects haven't even taken place yet. Our local city hall, for example, is still trying to spend some of the money, which they will be reimbursed for after the projects are complete.
I have a good friend now who went in for his third class medical in October 2021, the doctor flagged a prescription he had previously been taking (but was no longer taking), and wanted clarification from the FAA. Now in April, it's still in the "review queue". Meanwhile he's grounded, with no end in sight as to when the answer will be returned.
Not only that, but once it's cleared, the medical date will be retroactive to October, so the renewal clock is ticking the whole time he can't be flying.
My previous role was at a public facing ecommerce site. One day I started noticing a lot of public traffic to internal administrative endpoints that were failing - likely bots, but also to URLs that bots would have never known existed. Urls that only someone internal to the company would even know existed, due to the complex way they were crafted. It was very concerning.
We spent a LOT of time tracking down, and finally realized that the "bot" traffic was coming about 30 minutes after one of our employees legitimated visited the site. We found that user was using grammarly. Once we deactivated grammarly, all of the bot traffic stopped.
As best as I could tell, every URL that particular person went to in their browsers, grammarly had a service about 30 minutes later that would try and hit the url directly and ascertain what was there.
Haven't been on the crusade against it ever since.
Don't underestimate the large number of people who are also completely scared of doctors and needles. Being able to get something they can pickup at a pharmacy and take in their own home is a win.
Not really - I work for a company in the financial space and my spouse is restricted on any trading they can do just like I am.

While I agree, I've witnessed first hand a local newspaper repeatedly going after a local political office holder because the publisher simply didn't like her and was in support of an opponent. There still has to be some accountability to the press as well.
I received a "free for life" GitHub developer account in 2008 as part of a thank you for the company I was working for at the time which hosted and helped them grow.
In 2012 they terminated the "free for life" status of all of those they had given out.
So yeah, it can and will happen.
Happy fastmail customer of 5 years here.
I found a UI regression a few months back with the way threaded messages were working. Notified FM, they replied within a few hours acknowledging it was a bug and they would fix it asap. Fix was out within a few days, and they followed back to with me to confirm it was fixed for me.
Another protip: fastmail lets you alias yourname@yourdomain.com as anything@yourname.yourdomain.com. You can use this feature to create a unique email address for every service you sign up for. This is really handy for filtering to folders, or blocking marketing spam.
Probably not, but I suspect some people will still pay the ransom anyway. Keep in mind, many people also do keep "secrets" used for other authenticating to other services in their git repos - even though it's a terrible idea.
Yep, but think of all of the private keys and tokens used in automation servers (think CI) for pulling down source. Those don't have 2FA - because they don't login - but they have full access to most source.
In an organization of about 200 engineers across various products, 1000+ github repos, and 10 or so different CI systems. We enforce 2FA at github. I can still easily see how someone could easily gain access to source code with secrets in it.
I think you'd be surprised. I moved to Columbus in the early 2000s after college from another Indiana city. Perhaps I have blinders on, but I don't ever recall any casual racism or homophobia. If anything I'd say it's a more progressive city than many other small conservative midwestern towns. There is considerable diversity in the city, given that many of the engineers who live here have come from other countries. There was a recent presentation about the problems of "conversion therapy", and the presbyterian church a few weeks ago had a day of remembrance specifically for those who are transgender.
Not saying it's anything along the lines of Colorado, or the bay area, which I've frequented the past decade - but I think 2017 Columbus IN is vastly different than late 90s Columbus IN. The article really nails it.
Just to note: SIDS are not required for part 91 operations, at least in the US. If your aircraft is part of a Cessna maintenance program, then it will get lumped in, but for many older aircraft who are privately owned and flown, SIDS are recommended but not required by the FAA..at least not yet.
I ran a ~10MW capable facility for a while, we had 8 2MW Cummins gensets that would run in parallel. Extra units for redundancy as sometimes units would be offline for oil changes or other routine maintenance.
