The cryptography is standard AES-128 in OCB3 mode. It's been around long enough, and has had enough security scrutiny to at least discover a few minor DoS vulnerabilities, that it isn't entirely unreviewed.

For the cipher itself, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCB_mode#Attacks

It's client-side, so works even if the remote system is totally hung and did not clearly disconnect.

For example, running `systemctl suspend` will not terminate active SSH connections before putting the destination machine into a sleep state, and thus Ctrl+C (which isn't processed by SSH) will do nothing until the remote host is woken up by some mechanism.

DNS servers listen on port 53 :)

The vast minority of utilities in the United States, by number of customers served, are investor-owned; publicly-owned and co-operative utilities only cover 50m people.[1]

Theoretically, the grid is supervised by the California Public Utilities Commission, which has wide latitude to set standards and regulations for PG&E and others. The Public Utility Code is the highest law in the state of California[2], so IMHO a large part of the blame for PG&E's failures fall on CPUC's failed oversight[3][4]

Written so hastily they misquoted the "discount" offered (57%, when the clickthru clearly says 51%).

Note that Shaw's and Star Market are both Albertsons :)

Surprised to not see gmail.com in the list[1].

Which doesn't even make sense, given it was abolished by Nazi Germany "when Hitler's distaste for the supposedly "Jewish-influenced" script saw it officially discontinued"

If you have teams in Israel, you at least can cheat a bit on Sunday v.s Friday.

And having at least one daytime rotation agree that "well, you're expected to be on-call during business hours on Saturday" isn't nearly as crazy as "you can't relax at any time during the weekend".

(To start: Just to clarify there's a significant difference between benzodiazepines and opiates.)

> I have a friend in the US who told me they have an app on their phone where they can just tap a button and the next day they can refill their benzo prescription, and it's been like that for years without having seen a doctor again.

Is this the "request a refill" feature that every US pharmacy offers? Granted, benzodiazepines are less restricted than stimulant drugs¹, but a doctor in the US need to at least review a prescription twice a year.

Chronic (daily) of benzodiazepines is bad, and doctors will not² start new patients on this.

There's still a lot of legacy patients who are on chronic benzodiazepine treatments -- doctors should work with them to wean them off, but it's very challenging and disruptive.

Requiring a patient receiving a benzodiazepine at a non-daily level (e.g. for seizures, anxiety, occasional insomnia) to go back to see their doctor when nothing's changed several times a year is just pushing medical costs (money/time) on the disabled.

¹: e.g. Adderall, which can't be refilled

²: Providers are trained not to these days, at least

Most libraries do not record that information once material is returned. See SFPL:

> 10. The Library does not maintain a history of what a library user has previously checked out once books and materials have been returned on time4.

> 11. When fines accrue on a user's account, the Library does maintain records of items that have been borrowed but returned after the due date, or are still outstanding on the user's record. When overdue materials are returned and all associated fines are paid, the information associated with the library card number is deleted.

> 4 Library users may choose to opt in and enable My Check-out History. By doing so library users choose to give explicit consent to the storage of their Check-out History from the opt-in date. Library personnel will not access or release Check-out History unless required by law to do so. Library users may opt out of this service and delete Check-out History at any time.
