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).
That's basically what the pharmacist said: it's probably not a hazard, more like your data point on side effects is not going to be useful because of the co-mingling. Good to know that they nailed it.
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.
It's actually a moderate pain to set up something that doesn't answer on port 443 unless you want to host it yourself. I tried with http://wifi.help, but it's at Cloudflare and I don't know of a way to block port 443 without paying for their WAF.
I think you're misunderstanding the GP. The HTTPS connection will not be redirected when you are behind a captive portal, you'll receive an invalid certificate error (when the captive portal tries to serve itself at that address) or the website will simply not respond. Only if the HTTPS response is cached in your browser would the redirection work behind a captive portal.
Thanks for the link. I've also had the utterly bizarre experience of a service charging my old card number for MONTHS after it expires, have the charges go through, THEN tell me my card is expired 3-6months later and force me to update.
Probably a related thing where they want to keep receiving revenue from me without interruption to my service, but ultimately need to confirm it's not fraud?
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.
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.
Anne Arundel’s share of the Metro commitment is about $13 million (probably more because the county has higher median income than Maryland as a whole). Just 3,000 daily riders board at Odenton. Let’s say 2,000 are going to DC and 1,000 to Baltimore. That means the county is paying $6,500 per year to facilitate Metro connnections for each rider. 295 moreover carries over 100,000 cars per day (more than double the entire MARC system). Another 2,000 would be a rounding error.
2,000 would be 2%. That's in the range of a traffic change (1% - 5%) that would degrade the Level of Service of a highway from D (design goal) to E or F.
It doesn't take much of a reduction in traffic to significantly improve free-flow. Or, conversely, it doesn't take much an increase in numbers to make traffic suck more than it already does.
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.
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.
