Battery prices are collapsing and we are at an inflection point where electric vehicles will soon be more economical to purchase, drive and maintain for a much greater number of people. This is as inevitable as the phaseout of coal.

There is no goddamned way UHC doesn't pressure the prosecutor to drop this to avoid that recording going public because half the jury will be left with the same sentiment when they hear it. And when it is public they will have a lot more to deal with.

If this woman's lawyers are smart they call the bluff and say "why yes, let's get this out into trial, use discovery to add context, and play that recording". There's law, justice, but the most important thing sometimes when the moment is right is perception.

If we all just stop paying the insurance, and instead just put $50/month towards the exorbitant medical bills, boom, universal healthcare

Had something similar, failed to get pre-approval for a CT scan to diagnose a pleural effusion. Yes, I was supposed to wait 24-36h for someone unfamiliar with my case and likely not even a doctor to determine if a diagnostic test was nessasary.

Absolute, fanatical concentration.

How does it not mitigate the danger? You are putting a secure web server in front of the tunnel rather than basically all traffic being forwarded to the port?

It's probably a bit dangerous to expose your internal network in this way. If you really want a server running at home, there are interesting services which provide that for a fee, or you could set up a "reverse ssh proxy".

It's easier to do on some flavor of Linux, but you will set up a background service to ssh to a cloud server you rent, which links a local port on the cloud server to a local port on your home computer. You can then run a web service like caddy server on the cloud server to securely serve this port.

I realize this sounds rather complex, but something to look into and learn.

Your Caddyfile on the cloud server will look something like this:

my_subdomain.my_domain.com {
    reverse_proxy / {
        to 127.0.0.1:8081
    }
    encode gzip
}

And the service on your local will look something like this:

[Unit]
Description=Keeps a reverse tunnel to '<your cloud server ip>' open on port 8081 on the remote server
After=network-online.target

[Service]
Environment="AUTOSSH_GATETIME=0"
ExecStart=/usr/bin/autossh -N -M 10986 -o "PubKeyAuthentication=yes" -o "PasswordAuthentication=no" -o "ExitOnForwardFailure=yes" -R 8081:127.0.0.1:8080 root@<your cloud server ip> -i <path to your ssh key> -p 2097

ExecStop=/bin/kill $MAINPID
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

You will have to allow ssh on a non standard port (arbitrarily 2097 here), that way you can still use ssh on the standard port 22. I have some services running like this through a NAT for years.

It sounds like poor planning on behalf of management to me. Unless you work in some kind of micro enterprise with <5 employees, good planning should leave sufficient capacity to enable at least some vacation time to continue.

I understand the language in question well enough to proof read it, so it amounts to a teaching tool for me. It's benefit is that it copies a wealth of (mostly) correct text so I get the right idioms, vocabulary, and grammar, or the appropriate slang version.

It is extremely useful for suggesting translations and translating unclear foreign language sentences
