Why was Hermione unsympathetic towards the spider?

2025.01.30 07:10 Vegetable-Window-683 Why was Hermione unsympathetic towards the spider?

When Moody demonstrates the cruciatus curse, Hermione tells him to stop---but it's pretty heavily implied that she's only concerned about Neville and not the poor little spider.
I get that it's traumatizing for Neville, but that poor spider was being physically tortured. How could Hermione not be concerned about it? The only two possible explanations I can come up with are a) this is a case of "what measure is non-human", which seems out-of-character for Hermione, or b) she feels awkward showing concern for an arachnid around Ron. I like this second explanation---it's the only one that makes plausible sense---but I thought I'd bring it up in case anyone has any other theories.

2025.01.30 07:10 cybersec49 The ROI of Penetration Testing: How It Saves Businesses Money

In an era of rapid digital transformation, cybersecurity has never been more critical. Businesses of all sizes are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, ranging from simple phishing scams to sophisticated, large-scale data breaches. For many companies, the idea of investing in penetration testing (pen testing) may seem like an additional cost, but in reality, it’s one of the most effective ways to save money in the long run. In this article, we will explore how penetration testing delivers a solid return on investment (ROI) and why it’s a necessary expenditure for businesses concerned about their bottom line.
What Is Penetration Testing? Penetration testing, commonly referred to as ethical hacking, is a simulated cyberattack on a business's IT infrastructure, applications, or networks. It is conducted by security professionals who identify vulnerabilities before cybercriminals can exploit them. By mimicking the techniques of real-world hackers, penetration testers can uncover weaknesses and provide recommendations for remediation.
How Penetration Testing Saves Businesses Money

  1. Preventing Data Breaches and Losses
A data breach can be devastating for any business, both in terms of financial costs and reputational damage. According to IBM’s 2023 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average cost of a data breach is $4.45 million. This cost includes immediate financial losses, regulatory fines, legal fees, and long-term damage to the company’s reputation.
Penetration testing helps identify vulnerabilities in systems and processes before they are exploited by malicious actors. By patching these weaknesses, businesses can prevent costly breaches and the associated fallout. Essentially, businesses that invest in penetration testing are proactively protecting themselves from one of the most significant financial risks they face.
  1. Identifying Vulnerabilities Before Hackers Do
Hackers are constantly evolving their methods, and if a company’s security measures are not up to par, they become easy targets. Penetration testing allows companies to stay one step ahead by identifying vulnerabilities and addressing them before they are exploited in a real attack.
When vulnerabilities are identified and fixed during penetration testing, businesses can avoid the significant costs of data loss, downtime, and damage to their brand. By identifying potential threats early, businesses save both time and money by avoiding the need for emergency incident response and remediation.
  1. Reducing the Cost of Remediation
The cost of responding to a cyberattack is far higher than the cost of preventing it. When a company is under attack, it must allocate resources to fix the problem, which can result in downtime, loss of productivity, and costly repairs. According to the Ponemon Institute, the average cost of a security breach in terms of response efforts can reach up to $1.7 million.
Penetration testing helps businesses identify areas of weakness and provides specific recommendations for improvement, reducing the need for reactive crisis management. By addressing vulnerabilities before they are exploited, businesses can avoid emergency response costs and minimize disruption.
  1. Improving Regulatory Compliance
In many industries, businesses are required to comply with cybersecurity regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI-DSS. Failing to comply with these regulations can lead to substantial fines, legal costs, and loss of business.
Penetration testing can help businesses stay compliant by ensuring that their systems meet security standards. In fact, many regulatory bodies view regular penetration testing as a best practice for compliance. By proactively addressing security gaps and documenting testing efforts, businesses can avoid costly fines and demonstrate a commitment to safeguarding sensitive data.
  1. Enhancing Customer Trust and Retention
Customers are increasingly aware of cybersecurity risks and expect businesses to take steps to protect their data. A single security incident can result in customer churn, as clients lose trust in the company’s ability to protect their information. The damage to brand reputation can take years to repair, affecting long-term revenue.
By investing in penetration testing, businesses show that they are committed to maintaining strong security measures. This can help build customer trust, improve retention rates, and ultimately enhance customer lifetime value. In a competitive market, customers are more likely to choose businesses that prioritize their data security.
  1. Avoiding Downtime and Loss of Productivity
Cyberattacks often result in system downtime, which can cripple business operations. Whether it’s a ransomware attack, denial-of-service (DoS) attack, or other forms of disruption, the cost of downtime can be significant. A report by Gartner estimates that the average cost of downtime for businesses can range from $140,000 to $540,000 per hour.
Penetration testing helps identify security weaknesses that could lead to downtime, allowing businesses to fix these issues before they result in operational disruption. By preventing potential attacks, companies can maintain business continuity, ensuring that employees remain productive and customers experience minimal service interruptions.
  1. Optimizing IT Spending
Investing in penetration testing can help businesses make more informed decisions about their IT spending. By identifying areas where their systems and applications are vulnerable, companies can prioritize their security investments. This allows businesses to allocate resources more effectively, focusing on the most critical security risks and minimizing unnecessary expenditures on less urgent areas.
Additionally, penetration testing can reveal opportunities to improve existing security tools and processes, optimizing the overall cybersecurity strategy and making sure that the company gets the best value for its investment.
Conclusion The ROI of penetration testing is clear: it prevents costly data breaches, reduces emergency remediation expenses, helps businesses stay compliant with regulations, enhances customer trust, and ensures operational continuity. In a world where cyber threats are constantly evolving, businesses can’t afford to be reactive; they must be proactive in their approach to cybersecurity.
Rather than viewing pen testing as an additional cost, businesses should see it as an essential investment that safeguards their bottom line. The cost of a single data breach or cyberattack can far outweigh the expense of regular penetration testing, making it a critical component of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. Ultimately, penetration testing helps businesses save money by minimizing risks, optimizing resources, and ensuring long-term success in an increasingly digital world.

Today while coming home. Mene ek uncle ko dekha jo ek billi ko laat maar diye. I was angry so mene pucha kyu maara. Toh he became very hostile and started saying ki teri billi hai kya, tujhe kya, btw voh uncle thoda old the like 40-50. Toh mujhe gussa aaya aur unko buddha bol diya and he is like kya bola. Phir me pure gusse me ghar aane laga aur socha ki unki photo le leta hu. Kuch post kar dunga. But photo lene ki jagah mummi ko video call kar liya advice ke liye. Mummy ne bola tum toh activist nhi ho. Ghaar aa jao. Toh ghar jaana pada mujhe. Next time esa ho toh kya karu? Aur tum logo me se koi kuch aur jaanta hai kya is topic ke baare me.
TLDR: uncle kicked a car in public and I couldn't do anything about it.

2025.01.30 07:10 AkshagPhotography ULPT request : How to deal with apartment company that uses rent jacking software ?

So I signed a lease in the summer for a 1 bedroom apartment for 3200$ (Seattle WA and kirkland area). The same floor plan on a higher floor was available in this building for 2700 last month. There is literally no difference between the apartments except the new one was on a higher and much better floor. The same month I got a lease renewal notice for 3900$ ( landlords in Seattle have to give renewal notice 6 months in advance). The same building has 2 bedroom apartments available for what they charge me for a 1 bedroom apartment. I have tried everything but they wont give me a good deal unless I break this lease and pay close to 7000$ for that I cant leave this place. What do I do to get a good deal?

2025.01.30 07:10 also-ameraaaaaa My 1st trench crusade list: bring the flame!

Warning i kinda skimmed the rules so plz tell is something's wrong.
List one: bring out the flame! 900 ducats and 8 glory points
Heretic priest with anti material rifle, reinforced armor, and gas mask. (125 ducats and 3 glory points)
Annotated heavy infantry #1 with heavy flamethrower, gas mask troop flag, trench shield and polearm + free reinforced armor and infernal brand. (162 ducrats and 1 glory point)
Annotated heavy infantry #2 with heavy flamethrower, gas mask troop flag and, trench shield and polearm + free reinforced armor and infernal brand. (162 ducrats and 1 glory point)
Annotated heavy infantry #3 with regular flamethrower, gas mask troop flag and, trench shield and polearm + free reinforced armor and infernal brand. (137 ducats and 1 glory point)
Annotated heavy infantry #4 with regular flamethrower, gas mask troop flag and, trench shield and polearm + free reinforced armor and infernal brand. (137 ducats and 1 glory point)
Annotated heavy infantry #5 with regular flamethrower, gas mask troop flag and, trench shield and polearm + free reinforced armor and infernal brand. (137 ducats and 1 glory point)
Wretched with gas mask, axe and pistol (40 ducats)
My thought process was i wanted a really elite army but with flamethrowers.
So my leader is mainly a control piece with both a anti material rifle and puppet master. Essentially my only long range unit.
My heavys basically get close and burn the enemies alive. And if something is flame proof they can get even closer and stab them to death.
And there's bob. If he kills a elite or does something cool he goes free. Yippe!
On a scale of
5 meta 4 rogue meta 3 average 2 suboptimal 1 purely flavour or meme list
Where would it scale. I'm hoping at least a 3.
Also tell me this list's pros and cons and what i can expect if i were to play this.
Thanks for reading!

2025.01.30 07:10 JonnyElbows_AA Spiky balls

Spiky balls It’s that time of year again. Thousands fall from the trees and cover the yard with these hard spiky seedpods. It makes it damn near impossible to take a single step on the lawn without rolling my ankle. It’s like walking on very large marbles.
  1. Anyway, I’m not sure what kind of tree it is that drops these. So any help with that would be great.
  2. Also, if you know any tricks to easily pick these things up, that would be fantastic.
  3. Last year I put some in my compost and they are still in there, not broken down. Any good ideas on how to use this abundant material that I have?
