I'm not sure if it was the case here, but sometimes in bacteria, pathogenicity can be transferred via phage via 'pathogenicity islands'. So if they had endemic, relatively harmless, Salmonella that got infected with a European Salmonella phage, then the phage infects the Salmonella already in everyone and the bacterial population gets switched to murder-mode. So you'd get sick because your microbiome became ill.
Well that and a neural net is probably learning what the people told the robot to do about the situation, so they can whittle those down eventually, too.
While certainly utterly defeating an opposing force is a way to win a war, destroying infrastructure in order to break morale of the other army through lack of resources is both easier (can't hide a factory as easily as an infantry unit) and more effective.
Yes! But... fragmentation of populations and other stresses put on wild populations by human action make it harder for them. So, if the whole coast was fine to use, the turtles would surely adapt (they've made it through some rough times like the Cretaceous extinction, after all). With less coast to use due to humans, it is harder to be sure.
Its probably like how job postings for programming languages sometimes list something like "must be proficient in one of these" and then have a few different lists since they know if you know a few then picking up whatever they use in house won't be too hard.
I know I share many slashdotters reticence to try out some of the latest smart devices for fears of the security holes therein, I wonder if there will be a new interest in processors that just brute force everything through without any 'tricks' that could be exploited? I suppose that might be impossible to achieve and have compatibility with the rest of modern computing platforms; I don't know much about what instruction requirements might be needed to keep up with current Windows and Linux if these security flaws go all the way back to 1995...
Do the foundries to make those old dies even exist anymore? Validating each of those lines once brought online, debug the original design (probably couldn't remove the performance hit, either), run the production, distribute it to... whoever asks? or who can prove they bought a particular processor in 1995? That money would get spent real fast and not be done. If you want a corporate death penalty, ok, but I don't see why we pretend they can physically make all the injured parties whole again.
Generally in such situations they can't make monetary restitution, so we punish them in other ways. That's all my point is, not that we have to let them slide.
Its more like if carrots turned out to have an amino acid that a specific opportunistic pathogen really liked to grow on. Carrots would be mostly harmless, but in a specific scenario would be at fault for some people getting sick. Interestingly, replacing the additive with another sugar may well have more or less the same effect with a different opportunistic pathogen having a competitive advantage. It is actually a pretty difficult problem to decide how to catch.
Yeah, designing a study to catch something like this would be extremely difficult and expensive, with the intersection with an infection followed up by antibiotic treatment. You'd have to have so many permutations for different treatment regimens and their affects on various microflora environments in the human body (and validated animal models for each!) that you're going to easily get to more than the whole industry spends on food additives in total, I'd bet.
HIV has a very low percentage of infectious particles compared to many other viruses, because it mutates so much. So, yes, the parts that allow it to infect human cells get broken, too, but enough get made that function that it keeps on going. That's part of why it takes so long to become a big enough problem for you to develop symptoms versus, say, rabies that is easy to develop an immune response to but will kill you too fast.
Not to be an Intel apologist, but clearly they can't afford to replace everyone's Intel with an identical socket that is unaffected by the problem. The best I'd think that could be hoped for would be a refund with depreciation of value on the processor. That'd still suck but I can't see how we'd get any more. A class action would just get us all a $15 coupon towards our next Intel purchase.
It may help that they probably have their battery supplier on the hook for some of the cost, and that if they do nothing a jury looking at burn victims would crucify them versus the abstractness of a processor cluster losing performance.
That is what I suggested when she expressed her loathing for Chrome; I usually don't notice what browser I'm using unless there are problems, I'm not so sure what she finds objectionable about the relatively small UI differences.
Yeah, my wife hates Chrome for some reason and doesn't realize Edge isn't Internet Explorer somehow so she uses it, but there are a number of times where I'm called in to ask why a page isn't loading right and just tell her to use Chrome.
You might even consider it a biological imperative... that is the root cause for the hormones that make men decide that having a fertile woman around is desirable in the first place.
The reason is to counterbalance the effects that using the stash to bribe them would otherwise provide, but it does seem a little mercenary and certainly has deleterious effects with civil forfeiture.
Sometimes I mock things up in Excel before handing it to a developer to code... being able to use Python in the mockup would be pretty awesome and give me more experience in a coding language that is actually widely applicable... seems like a win-win.
It is in fact standard procedure to proceed that way as you try to get people to flip on those above them in the hierarchy and then follow up on what they tell you.
Why would you expect to hear everything he has found before he is ready to press charges? Why would you expect it to be a quick slap dash affair to (potentially) gather evidence of treason? Maybe he's only cheated on his taxes and everything else is "fine" but surely the subject of his investigation warrants caution? Unseating an elected official shouldn't be easy, even if he's a turd.

Sure! I don't think you get buboes from that, though. If I recall, you'd just get a dermal infection.

For pneumonic infection; you're not going to get bubonic from another human.

Great explanation, hadn't thought about mobile impact with battery life...

Fish aren't breathing H2O with those gills, they're breathing O2 just like you. Only the gills work in water where your lungs work in air.

When you plea deal you don't plea guilty to the worst of the charges, otherwise why would you deal?
