This would be a good thing to sell policies for, though... the odds of the company not also being obliterated in either the impact itself or subsequent extinction event/societal collapse and having to make payouts would be very small!
Fungicides and pesticides would be a weird place to see immune reactions. Current theories revolve around stuff like the hygiene hypothesis: parasites are known to secrete immunosuppressants. "wild type" humans would've been full of parasites, currently where allergies are common this is not the case. So, it is likely that the absence of parasites leads to a more robust immune response than ideal. Furthermore, distribution of food allergies follows distribution of tree species. Tree pollen with similar antigens to common foods causes allergies to those foods in those regions. Because they are less messy, cities tend to plant male trees preferably. So a hypervigilant immune system exposed to lots of pollen tends to develop more allergies.
Ag does safety work but, yes, it does tend to be more lax than biomed stuff and is used on much larger scale. I'm responding primarily because I'm not sure why you think centuries of low level exposure is relevant to... anything? I don't do ag research but product stability should be easy to establish and if the products are stable on century orders of magnitude you wouldn't need to apply them regularly, you'd just have a monoculture wasteland where nothing but Roundup Ready Corn grew. We don't spray agricultural chemicals on redwood trees and tortoises.
If the government regulations require an antivirus that meets A,B, and C, and only one company has those, then they win even if the application is a dumpster fire. You won't get any of those govt contract without meeting their requirements.
Yeah we only have one TV because you don't really need more with tablets around, and they are far cheaper than the car entertainment systems. The parental controls on the Fire tablets are very granular for making sure they aren't just vegging out all day.
A lot of regulatory compliance with food is companies testing competitors products and tattling to the government if they're lying about vitamin content and so on.
That in and of itself isn't going to get you rejected. If you have a bad credit check and have another flag like you can't pass a drug screen, then you're not getting cleared unless you're related to the President or something, though.
They are automatically suspended if you change positions, even within the same company. The new employers want you to have one beforehand because it is cheaper to transfer it than have one done up from scratch.
This is insightful... the 'tradecraft' and the clearance as completely different things. The whole idea when you get into this sort of thing is that you only know the minimum possible to be effective. I have heard there is even demand in people with inactive clearances since it is easier to reactivate than start from scratch.
For hard to find items, it can be a good idea to look on Amazon with third parties enabled and then look up those third parties that stock the item you want to see if they have their own webpage or an eBay store. Amazon fees must be higher because whenever I have done this, I've found the same vendor selling the same item for less from a different middleman or direct. The barrier for entry for an Amazon third party seems just high enough to ensure that you're getting what you wanted versus the crap shoot of pure eBay.
Yeah I thought it was odd that Picard had a mechanical heart when surely it'd be easier to grow him a new one. It is kind of funny how looking at past futurism can be with the right skew but land slightly off what we ended up being able to achieve.
Precious metals can be used to make lots of things, so gold and silver would remain useful in the apocalypse of your favorite fiction genre. Unlike steel, they can be worked cold relatively easily. Semiprecious gemstones would be a better example for something that has very little inherent worth.
One old timey Christian belief was in bodily resurrection, not a spiritual one. So you'd need your body intact. Cremation was seen as something pagans did. It is among the reasons that dismemberment is seen as so gruesome.
It appears to whitelist applications that can modify files in the designated folders. Hopefully it is smart enough that renaming the virus to notepad.exe won't let it in...
Because there is essentially no risk, and multiple benefits. It takes longer to switch your autobilling to the new CC number than it does to address the fraud.
My understanding is that usually the merchant is the one holding the bag of shit if the deal goes sour. Pretty easy to get fraudulent charges to go away as the customer.
Isn't that how broadcast TV used to work? I think that's why CBS made Star Trek: TNG but it aired on Fox and so on. The rule change was, if I recall correctly, partly responsible for a lot of the media consolidation that has happened since. I doubt that you'd see any movement politically to go back to the way things were.
Part of the dystopia in 1984 was the constant war to use up the excess in production. Too many people ready to revolt is an easy target for some jingoism and you send them off to the meat grinder while putting their peers into make-work jobs putting together tanks. The future of warfare meant to win will be in drones, though, so maybe after one of the hegemons wins the drone wars they'll have to go Brave New World to fix the issue, instead.

If they are changing the color saturation they can surely add a RGB adjustment as easily.

Where do you buy feral apples? Any farmed apples will have poisons of some or another kind on them, organic or conventional.

Two chainsaws less capable than the one you bought and then... a crock pot book.

Slightly off tangent, but topical and interesting: http://www.tvgrimreaper.com/20...
Star Trek Discovery isn't actually able to be viewed on CBS broadcast, only streaming.

But how will you feel the right jingoistic feelings while standing in line to buy a $13 beer?

Sort of! Not much of a materiel sink or population curb, though. Just good for jingoism.
