You can't replace a driver and their car working locally with one working in Bangalore. If the only way to avoid a global race to the bottom is trade tariffs, bring them on.
It's not just that the protections are being removed - so are the capital costs and the recurring costs for consumables (tires, fuel, etc), as well as "plant maintenance," insurance, etc. Unlike regular contractors, you can't negotiate price, you can't control the schedule for when a task has to be completed by putting more or fewer resources into it, etc. Uber drivers are not contractors, and the Uber gig economy is a lie.
Or the drivers can do what the taxi industry did - self-organize. Make their own app (it could just be a website that works on mobile devices) and cut out the middleman entirely. This way people who don't trust someone else with their credit card details can just pay cash, and they can always negotiate with the driver for a lower fee for regular business, same as companies do when they have taxis deliver packages, etc.
You can say what you want, it doesn't matter. The commission ruled otherwise. And Ireland's actions definitely altered Apple's competitiveness - Apple is an international business, and so are its competitors.
And I'm sure that neither her, nor her medical specialists, nor the media, nor the military, nor the legal system, nor the department of motor vehicles (if she gets out), nor anyone else whose opinion counts will give a damn.
Take a look around you - the major media have no problem with it. Just a few bible-thumpers and their bs websites.
Bull f*ing shit. The cause of female-to-male transsexuality has nothing to do with whether a male-to-female transsexual (in this case Chelsea Manning) is entitled to surgery as a medical necessity.
As for the rest, I'm not going to even bother reading it after that fine example of stupdity. You really don't know what you're talking about.
Or just limiting the maximum dose that can be selected on the dial. This way, you don't have to change cartridges after every use, and some people require more than 1 injection sometimes, so you're ready for that eventuality as well.
There's no more "training" than using an epipen. Hand the kid the pen with a new tip, dial the dose, and give it to the kid. They stick it in the thigh, and push the button on the end of the pen. Bonus points because they don't have to remember "Orange to the thigh, blue to the sky" or other crap. So no more instructions than an epipen, so what's your beef?
As for dosing, unlike syringes, you just dial the dose, and this has been proven to be more accurate than syringes.
Kids receive a lot of coaching - but almost nothing on how to actually inject themselves. Its more along the lines of diet, activity, figuring out the right dose with each meal and activity level, how to recognize the onset of hypoglycemia and what to do about it, blood sampling and testing, etc. The actual injecting is pretty much idiot-proof now that there's no need for a syringe and a vial.
As for logistical problems, there are less than with an epipen. You only need one injector for the whole school, and it should last a few decades under normal use, so that's a 1-time cost of $100. A box of 100 pen-tips, add another $30. If the demand was there, the companies would manufacture cartridges pre-filled with epinephrin; until then, hospital techs can do it, and those cartridges don't need to be replaced/refilled until they are empty, unlike the single-use epipen.
Just how hard do you think it is using an insulin pen? You screw the tip on, remove the protective cover, dial a small dose to remove any air, then dial the dose you want (you don't even have to look at it to do any of this - you can dial the dose by listening to the audible clicks, and with a bit of practice everything else without looking)., inject, then put the protective cap back on the tip and unscrew it so you can dispose of it.
It really IS easy as shit. Like I said, kids are doing it all the time, and the actual training for using the device is really mostly just to show them how to replace the insulin cartridge so they don't screw it up. Everything else is 5 minutes max.
Even the taking of a blood sample and measuring it is pretty brain-dead nowadays, as well as mostly painless, same as the needle.
If a teacher can't follow the simple instructions to (1) screw a new tip on the pen, (2) dial a dose of 2 units (3) push the button (4) dial the required dose, and (5) give it to the kid, they're morons who shouldn't be teaching in the first place. Even a child can (and does) do it. That's all the instructions needed, and anyone with half a brain can learn how to do it in a minute.
Then you're doing it wrong. Replaceable singe-use pent-tips are sold in boxes of 100 for $30 or so (ymmv), and your insurance should easily cover that. The cartridges (300 ml each) are less than $50 for 5. My pharmacist gave me one, along with a newer glucometer, free with my first order when I switched from syringes.
Just ask your doctor to switch your prescription to insulin in replaceable cartridges. Problem solved:-)
So get another kid to do it. There's got to be at least one kid around who's on insulin.And "training"? - it's simple as sh*t. Literally so easy that a kid can do it. "Specially trained professionals?" Give me a break. Kids with diabetes are sticking themselves all the time. Give them an insulin pen and a cartridge that's got epinephrine instead of insulin, and pretty much anyone can get it right first time in less than 30 seconds.
Repurposed insulin pen- one-time cost of $100, should last a lifetime. Epinephrine - dirt cheap. Disposable pen-tips - less than 2 for a buck. Used insulin cartridges - free.
I don't see why people haven't been taking insulin pens that take cartridges, emptying the cartridge, and filling it with epinephrine. Simple, cheap, easy to use, and you just replace the epinephrine every 6 months to a year, which is a couple of bucks. The pens last pretty much forever with 3-4x daily use, so one pen should last a lifetime. Using the longest pen tip needle will mean being able to hit the muscle instead of subcutaneous injection, unless you're more than a little obese.
Advantages: Device already approved for injecting drugs. Dial a dose (more accurate than a syringe), stick it in you, push the button with your thumb.. Easily replaceable needle. Available over-the-counter at most pharmacies.
The cartridges you can get free almost empty from anyone who uses them (they were goig to dispose of them at that point anyway), you can use a syringe to inject air into the narrow end of the cartridge until the rubber stopper pops out, rinse VERY well (don't want any traces of insulin), add the epinephrine, stick the rubber stopper back in, you're all set for the next year (no, epinephrine doesn't "go bad" after 6 months. Studies show that at that point it's still at 90% potency or better. Just look for a color change).
The pen is under $100, the cartridges are free, the pentip needles are less than half a buck apiece so if you ask someone with type 1 diabetes they'll probably just give you one, along with the near-empty cartridge they were going to toss, so once you buy the pen, your annual cost will be what - $5.00?
I never said that cross-dressers and transvestites are gay - I used the word "many", which is true, and that many of the gay ones delight in transsexual-baiting.
This is a US judge. Or didn't you know that Leavenworth is in the US? "Some judge in some country" can't do it, unless that country is the USA because Manning is an American.
Brazil is a shithole. Sanitation and health are way down on the list of priorities. The sewer systems that were supposed to be built, weren't. Hospitals lack basics like syringes and rubber gloves. Teachers are quitting because they aren't being paid, so the next generation is at risk. And it's just going to get worse.
That's unfortunate. It shows just how far our once-great nation has fallen down.
I agree. There should be more - that's one group that is under-represented on the bench. But you can always go to Canada to escape... except that Canada has trans judges as well. Cuba? Nah, they pay for the surgeries. Iran? Nah, they pay for the surgeries as well. Why not just admit you are 100% in agreement with ISIS.
You are SO full of crap. Go change your Depends. Or not. You probably like it dirty. Point out ONE place I've been banned (that will be hard, because I don't post much anywhere else. For example, I haven't posted anywhere else since August 11th, because I've come to the conclusion that anyone who believes Sturgeon's Law (90% of everything is crap) was being waaaay over-optimistic. I'd be happy if the whole web disappeared tomorrow, because it's done more harm than good. Of course, that would mean you wouldn't be able to BS about me, but that's just an added bonus:-)
And one does. If they're both not getting inbound connections, that exposes a defect in the product, which is why they use a central server that will work without them calling customer support and then returning it.
And what's so gross about being a transsexual? Come on, confront your fears, put it out there, you'll feel better (and if not, seek professional help).
Never said the Ukraine was ever a member of NATO. What I said is that Russia can roll over Eastern Europe in 3 days max and NATO won't be able to stop them. The US did a lot of sable rattling when Russia invaded Ukraine, but Putin had figured out that the US and its NATO allies were all talk, no hat.
