Probably. I’ve noticed a string of new user accounts with simple names like this turning up, posting a bunch of articles, then disappearing. I can’t figure out why.

If you have an urgent problem you go to urgent care. I had one, I went to urgent care after work, I got seen, got the prescription, and went home and got my pills.
If you say “hey I have this problem where my back hurts sometimes” then they’ll schedule you for the next available appointment. Depending on how busy they are, yes that could be months out. You might try a different doctor if you can.

If your deductible is $50 or 20% then you pay that, until you accumulate enough to hit the out of pocket max, then you pay nothing.

Must be nice. Here in the US you can just walk in one day and get told you’re fired and have to clean out your desk.
Does German law or contract account for stuff like if a person working with children is found to be abusing them? Like that’s an instance where you really need it done immediately. (Or if that’s not a great example because they get suspended pending a court trial, insert some other example.)
Also, in the UK and probably other countries, when you leave work but still get paid for that period it’s called “garden leave”.

It’s this one. It’s a fairly common and fairly bad practice.
I hope the author pulls the next firmware bin and checks it for keys again.
- Comment on Return to office propaganda floating around LinkedIn 4 weeks ago:
Owl cameras area great, they follow speakers around the room. You could even mount a plain old security camera on the ceiling and attach it to the videoconference system.
Does that guy just flip his video so that he can write forwards and you still see it forwards? Writing equations backwards would be a hell of a skill. I’d probably end up forgetting how to write them forwards.

- Comment on How a USB-connected speaker can infect a PC without ever being touched 2 months ago:
Right. The common one is an initially malicious device given to an unsuspecting user. This is a stock device that a user already has and trusts. It’s a huge vulnerability that an unauthenticated user can completely take it over. This is a 9.3 CVE, without even considering pivoting to the PC.
- Comment on How a USB-connected speaker can infect a PC without ever being touched 2 months ago:
I was able to totally remotely, over the air, upload a custom firmware to my speaker which I hadn’t paired with, which would reboot, flash the custom firmware, and after rebooting type in the command echo pwned and execute it.
So an attacker can hack someone else’s speaker, turn it into a keyboard to the paired PC, and from there attack the paired PC.

That pay cap would hit at about $1.5m. I think that’s okay. I did some napkin math and eyeballed it to graph the proposed tax rates vs 2018’s marginal and effective (because that’s what was available): lemmy.zip/…/61835557-1968-4d28-be95-493de6de6900.…
It’s not the worst idea I’ve heard, but I’d want to scale by the number of taxpayers in each bracket to find out how much tax revenue we’d win or lose. A real congressional study would also consider what is considered “income” for tax purposes, and whether this would cause anyone to get creative with their compensation to avoid paying more tax (well, even more than they already do).

Twitter screenshot meme slactivism aside, it’s because private land is a limited resource. The more you keep for yourself, the more you pay (generally).
