Mount Everest Climbers 'Poisoned' By Guides In Insurance Fraud Scheme

schwit1 shares a report from the Kathmandu Post: In Nepal, helicopter rescue on high altitude is, by any measure, a genuine lifesaving operation. At high altitude, where oxygen thins and weather changes without warning, the ability to airlift a stricken trekker to Kathmandu within hours has saved countless lives. But threaded through that legitimate system, exploiting its urgency, its opacity, and its distance from oversight, is one of the most sophisticated insurance fraud networks in the world. Nepal's fa

Suricata IPS NFQueue with nDPI. Часть II

«Suricata IPS NFQueue with nDPI» — это значит, что программа suricata работает в режиме IPS с движком NFQueue и поддержкой nDPI. Традиционные файрволы могут блокировать нежелательный трафик по IP адресам и портам, но они не способны анализировать содержимое пакетов и обнаруживать сложные атаки, которые маскируются под легитимный трафик. Suricata сильно дополняет возможности классического файрвола — она позволяет блокировать данные на более высоком уровне — на уровне приложений.Данная информация предназначен Read more

В какой-то момент я заметил, что сам учет финансов в Obsidian меня полностью устраивает, а вот сбор исходных данных для него каждый раз отнимает лишнее время.Схема была простой и довольно утомительной: открыть несколько банков, посмотреть остатки по счетам и картам, потом перенести эти цифры в свои заметки.

Моя работа – быть парнем, которого все ненавидят, но который всегда улыбается

Ник Нейлор – лоббист табачной индустрии – никогда не проигрывал переговоры. Его продукт – слова, стратегия – спорить, опровергая факты, секрет успеха – моральная гибкость. Он защищает то, что убивает людей, и называет это «Нюрнбергская защита яппи», ведь «всем нужно погашать ссуды». Недавно я пересмотрел «Здесь курят» и понял: свой Ник Нейлор есть в каждом бизнесе.
