Don't forget the unspoken occupational hazard of all flight crews: they get a lot more radiation exposure than any other occupation — far more than workers in nuclear energy. The levels for flight crews are well above the levels allowed for nuclear work — and its unregulated because it's not something anybody can mitigate without banning flying altogether.
And yet, the industry continues to be outpaced by its addicts, asserting endless false claims about safety.
Flavorings often do horrible things to the lungs, sinuses, and nose - a great example, diacetyl causes "popcorn lung". Diacetyl is found in a lot of foods naturally - its what gives butter its flavor, after all. It's a natural product of fermentation, and shows up in everything from buttermilk to chardonnay.
Popcorn lung is a great example of what vaping can do - take a natural flavor, heat it with water to form steam, inhale, and cause permanent lung damage only treatable by organ transplant.
But, much like smoking was a few decades ago, it's users refuse to believe their addiction could possibly be harmful to themselves or others.
Flying in the Air Force has been seen as a stepping stone to flying airlines as long as I remember.
Being a military pilot has always been seen by many pilots as a way to accumulate a lot of flight time, which is the #1 requirement to be an airline pilot.
My bet is that Wells Fargo is concerned about bitcoin being used for money laundering -- which is a legitimate concern for a US financial institution.
It doesn't matter if bitcoin isn't an ideal medium for money laundering... what matters is it's an excuse for a competitor send regulators after Wells Fargo.
There are other licensed GPU blocks (ARM's Mali comes to mind), along with mobile GPU's from NVIDIA that seem to work without Imagination's IP.
That doesn't mean Apple is building their own GPU from scratch, any more than they build the CPU from scratch. For both the CPU and GPU, they licensed from external companies (ARM & Imagination). There's likely nothing stopping them from licensing the GPU from ARM, NVIDIA, or any other of Imagination's competitors.
I'll use food manufacturing plant I worked at as an illustration:
1. A production department produced the item - measuring, slicing, dicing, baking, mixing, frying, what have you. Production happens on-site. 2. Packaging involves portioning and sealing the item into a container, putting those containers into boxes, and palletizing the boxes so forklifts can move them about. Packaging happens on-site. 3. Distribution happens almost exclusively in a warehouse: taking product from the packagers, and dumping production lots in a warehouse. Then they picking individual boxes of products from one pallet and re-palletizing many different products into into individual orders for shipment. Distribution happens on-site. 4. Shipment is where they take a warehoused order, load it into a vessel (train, boat, truck, aircraft, etc), moving the vessel, and then unloading the vessel at either another warehouse, or a point of sale. Shipment by definition, touches sites, but is otherwise off-site.
They're utterly distinct, and have well-defined interfaces.
There are two ways to parse it (parenthesis added for clarity - I hope)
1. (Packaging for Shipment) and (Distribution) 2. Packaging (for Shipment or Distribution).
In any event, let's got with the way that the businesses hope to save money: - "packaging for shipment" is just that - packaging inside a factory. - "distribution" involves the folks working in a warehouse.
Shipping (and the truckers suing for overtime) on the other hand, have a good argument: shipping is not distribution.
Humanity grows in size, so we use more land to grow food.
At the end of the day, it comes down to "Can we grow food on this land," regardless of the land's "natual" state.
After that, it's a matter of "how can we profit the most by growing food on this piece of land." -- whether the profit is 'mankind's' overall profit, or just the landowner's pocketbook.
I've seen a number of "shock" billboards lately about the amount of water required to grow, say, a single egg... yet the billboard commits the sin of omission of not stating the staggering amount of water used to grow oats, for example.
It's not that oats are less water efficient than eggs, but that 50 gallons of water needed to grow a single egg is less worrying when you compare it to the amount of water needed to produce a bowl of oatmeal.
While the average consumer doesn't know exactly how many gallons of water it makes to grow a tomato, a hell of a lot of us grow gardens, and dump several thousand gallons of water into the garden each year -- and know that a tomato or carrot is far from "cheap" in terms of water required.
If anyone ever comes up with an easy way to break this, then everyone's going to be in for a round of password changes and free credit monitoring.
You mean like the Ashley Madison hack, where the hackers found a weakness in the implementation of bcrypt, and were able to compute user passwords in "Hollywood time"?
The bottom line there is that, like encryption, non-experts shouldn't develop their own implementations of a password hash. (Similar to "non-experts shouldn't implement encryption").
With a good implementation of a state-of-the-art password hash (such as Argon2), breaking a password hash isn't feasible.
Passwords, however, are so last century.
Anything that takes security seriously has a 2nd factor, of which there are a couple of excellent open standards, including OATH and FIDO U2F -- the latter of which involves cryptographic hardware and an encryption key which can't be recovered from the device (unless, maybe, you're the NSA).
With FIDO U2F, even if the password is in plain text, an attacker downloading the password database will be unable to authenticate without the U2F device (and its encryption key).
PBS doesn't generally have advertisements during kid's shows... Sesame Street doesn't have ads.
I don't recall bullshit studies about kids not recognizing commercials due to their kids watching Sesame Street, Mr. Rodger's Neighborhood, or any of the other legion of PBS shows for kids.
No. It was largely an attempt to get everybody in America on a health care plan, the idea being to grow the size of the pool of people paying into health plans, and distributing the costs across all Americans.
It's had a vigorous effort to repeal it before it was passed, and the alternative is shaping up to be right out of a Christmas Carol: "If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
It's a shame the kernel they have crashes my machines after about 5 minutes, and I can't get a decent enough log of the kernel message to file a bug...
Some GPS modules have a PPS (Pulse per second) accurate to around 10 ns, though cheap ones are more like 20-200 ns. Interrupt latencies on the computer adds some inaccuracy.
But with a Raspberry Pi 3 and a $35 add on board, you can get a stratum 1 NTP server accurate to a couple microseconds.

Because IPv4 was designed as a limited proof of concept, with IPv6 being the properly designed replacement.
IPv4 was supposed to be deader than a can of SPAM by Y2K, and as historical as stacks of punch cards at this point.

Oh the irony... I didn't actually think diacetyl would really be applicable for vape fluid (it was just an example from the food industry that I knew off the top of my head), but no, it apparently is a problem in vape fluid. A university study found that found many vape fluids have diacetyl, yet falsely claim they do not.

Kudos, good sir. Love the reference.
Waymo is the Google subsidiary working on autonomous automobiles.
And this is /., and everything Google touches is therefore newsworthy.

I'm more than happy to allow the righteous anger of Evangelicals to work for our privacy.
The Mi-go go one step further - they remove the brain from the body.
I used sixxs when my isp didn't support IPv6 loved it.
If nothing else, I really hope they keep thier extensive documentation available
Distribution is legally distinct from shipping, so it's a red herring.
Distribution happens on-site - a warehouse, or a store.
Shipping happens between sites.

Thankfully, a whole lot less than you'd see with using IOT for a pacemaker or implantable defibrilator.

How about we give everybody the privilege, instead of limiting it to Astronauts?
Or at least expand the offering to everybody who's ever wanted to be an astronaut?
I dumped Pandora because of the crap they made paying subscribers put up with - skip counts being a big one.
This might get me to re-evaluate Pandora, but honestly, this is about seven years too late.

Unfortunately, I do care. I'd pay good money to not read this sort of drek on Slashdot.

The world's most powerful ego and sense of importance is, of course Kanye West, and he's usually on tour.
