Fact, breathing a single microgram could kill you.
There's that panicy overblowing thing again. First, read this. Note how 30 years later, he's fine after handling the rock and keeping it in his room for a year. If half an hour was 4000 times the limit, this kid got 70 million times the limit or more (since he actually crumbled it in his hands)..
Again, it was best to remove the uranium rocks, but it is doubtful that any harm has been done.
I say this as one of millions of people who have had radioactive materials directly injected into a vein.
Read very carefully: 5 feet away from the buckets, radiation was at background levels. No residual radiation was found where the buckets were sitting.
Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like the sort of comically evil plot Montgomery Burns might try, sending Smithers to tap kids' arms while they sleep?
I think he's just trying to keep things in perspective. This wasn't a bundle of plutonium rods, it was naturally occurring radioactive rocks. They look like rocks, they feel like rocks, and they're only slightly more dangerous than any other rocks. I guess it's a good thing no kid threw one at another kid, because that would be more harmful.
It is best that they were moved away but if you're picturing a glowing green bucket with radiation symbols on it, you're over-imagining.
As for NRC limits, a single CT scan exceeds those.
Apparently, the person raising the alarm here has a history of blowing things out of proportion.
I'm well aware of what a Harvard architecture is. And on microcontrollers like AVR,.rodata gets lumped in with code in the flash. AVR does have instructions that can read from that address space, but it does mean if you try to use any of the libc str* functions on a compile time defined string, you won't get the results you expect. It's not copied to RAM at startup since there's only 4K of RAM.
You sound like someone who has driven a go-kart once so you figure formula 1 racing can't be that hard.
So I take it the operative principle in your shop is "OMG it compiled, SHIP IT!"
I say that since you seem unwilling to take even the basics for granted yet you show no interest in what their polished production ready code might look like, only what they can dash out in a timed test.
In many places, they either look at your existing work or have a sr. developer discuss a bit of code with you in order to find out if you know what you're doing. Add in that they never even mentioned that they were a Mac shop and it's probably best to walk before you also find out they forgot to mention that they pay in rupees bi-annually.
When did you last write a program where you had to think about each and every memory allocation because you knew you would be close to running out by the time the program was written (and there was no option to just add more), AND make sure the battery would last at least a month between charges. That meant adjusting the CPU clock to match the workload. And there was no room for an actual OS, much less a framework that does things by magic for you.
Also, if threads are needed, you have to roll your own, but let's not do it interrupt driven, that would cause the CPU to draw too much power to meet the target battery life.
BTW, any way we can get the rising edge of the attention signal from the radio to trigger an NMI to wake the CPU from deep sleep? Can it get up and running soon enough to decode the message?
Near the end of the battery life, how fast can we run the CPU without it becoming unstable? Is that fast enough to meet the budgeted time to respond to an external signal? Any way to trim 5 micro-seconds out of this loop?
In other words, it involves a lot of things the guy writing the web server has never had to consider and may not even know they exist. You also need to be at least familiar enough with hardware to talk with the hardware designers.
BTW, the CPU is Harvard architecture and there's no room to copy.rodata so your strings are in a different address space.
It gets even more ambiguous when different devices have different depictions. On some devices, the gun emoji looks like a water pistol, on others like a real gun. So is the sender invoking violence or slapstick?
DeBlasio was furious and wanted to put blame on Amazon for changing their mind as if he and NYC were owed those jobs and taxes by divine right.
Or the same reason a real estate agent would be ticked off if he spent all day showing you homes, then haggling, and starts the ball rolling on the credit check and drawing up the contract only for you toi say "Nah, I was just killing some time, I'm not in the market for a house.
NY wasn't the one with it's hand out. Amazon was free to move in at any time under the same deal as the thousands and thousands of businesses already there.
They decided not to when their palm wasn't "sufficiently" greased.
On May 14th they'll roll out the patches again, this time signed with SHA1 so they can actually install. June 11th they'll roll back the accidentally included patch that causes all printers to add a faint watermark of Satya Nadella's butt. In July they'll roll out a patch that makes the sha2 actually verify when it should. Then in August, a patch that makes it NOT verify when it shouldn't. In September they'll re-roll back the Satya Nadella's butt watermark that somehow crept back in in August. In October they'll re-issue the re-rollback patch, this time signed with SHA2 since they removed the SHA1 code in July. In November they'll deny all knowledge of a patch replacing the start-up sound with a braying donkey.
It';s right up there with "we value your call, that's why we've been claiming unusual call volume and long hold times since 1982". "Speaking of holding since 1982, hang in there Betty, help is only days away".
The profits tend to be more in line with other industries. Thus the tax money tends to be less than we pay here for insurance and MUCH less than the "retail price".
1. Yes, insurance companies demand discounts, but then you have to pay for their profits to buy in to the club. They don't drive the discounts are hard as they can because they cen just collect the higher costs as premiums and they need enough cash to flow to keep their profits up.
2. Insulin changed since 1930, but not since 1980. At least as far as changes that benefit the user go.
3. Actually it'a a 1000% markup, and that's as compared to the profitable price in other countries with a similar regulatory structure.
4. It's called "evergreening". It's not literally keeping the same patent alive, it's keeping substantially the same product under some patent or another while suppressing generics.
Actually many many people have suggested a whole spectrum of solutions from simple price controls, government taking over the whole shebang, to single payer healthcare in several varieties. Get the taters outta yer ears boy!
I trust you realize that this operation depends, rather critically, on the idea that everyone else, particularly your competitors, will see things exactly the same way.
If we keep trying to pound that square peg into a round hole, all we'll get is wood chips. Some worthy endeavors simply don't lend themselves to a free market solution. That's why we have the most expensive but far from the most effective healthcare in the world.
I'd be more careful poking and prodding a table saw!
But yes, the flaw in the business model of health care is that it is a BUSINESS model. The fact that the business of medicine effectively holds people's continued life hostage is a gigantic moral hazard.
Closer to let me throw a party on your lawn, I'll give you 20% of the take. You do the math and figure it would cost you more than that to repair the damage to the lawn and have all that litter collected. Then you figure, what the hell, you're neighbors will probably pay for the trash pickup to avoid damage to their property damage.
For some reason, your neighbors object to that plan and call the cops.

So your shop does NOT do code review? And it's in a constant state of not enough time to do it right?

The difference is that use of emojis is recent enough that we don't have long established USUAL ways to use them. There's no baseline.
As soon as you mentioned emojis in a EULA, I thought of the tears of laughter emoji. I'd show you but this is /.
It gets even more ambiguous when different devices have different depictions. On some devices, the gun emoji looks like a water pistol, on others like a real gun. So is the sender invoking violence or slapstick?

Vaccines include a number of government interventions to make sure supplies are maintained, liabilities offset, etc. We should do more of that.

Point by point.

How much they can charge. That's one BIG reason healthcare is less expensive in Europe.
I trust you realize that this operation depends, rather critically, on the idea that everyone else, particularly your competitors, will see things exactly the same way.
They graduated from the same MBA program.
Given that we KNOW brand name manufacturers DO make deals to keep cheap generics off the market, further collusion seems likely.
If we keep trying to pound that square peg into a round hole, all we'll get is wood chips. Some worthy endeavors simply don't lend themselves to a free market solution. That's why we have the most expensive but far from the most effective healthcare in the world.
