Since I know someone who went through thyroid cancer, including ablation using I-131, I was somewhat familiar, with the issues, including the effects of insufficient iodine.
With no thyroid tissue (following radioactive ablation), the body won't retain any iodine.
20 years ago, most products could be found in a range of price and quality. Now, markets have segmented into two distint price points: 1. Cheapest possible. 2. Luxury brand (typically for the 1%ers).
I believe that this segmentation is related to 2 factors: a. Vast increase in imports of consumer products (mostly from China). b. Increasing wealth disparity.
It's really humorous how anarchist the population on this website is becoming.
Smart people change their opinions on the basis of new information. Things like the subprime mortgage crisis, citizens united, climate change denial and the revelations from Snowden constitute new information.
Where I work we regularly hire through H1B, we pay 35k/y for a PhD from China or Eastern Europe and as an added benefit we/they get a fast track through the green card and permanent resident process later on, in comparison we pay 125k/y and relocation costs for similar degrees from American sources.
You should report your employer for violating the law. You might be able to get some money as a whistleblower.
don't require holders to remain at the same company.
That would help.
H1-B visa holders can certainly change jobs. I think that the new job does not count against the cap, so it should be easy for them to change.
In practice, many of the H1-B holders are on contracts that require them to pay their employer large sums of money if they leave, and secondly, it is difficult to change jobs during the process of a green card application.
The USA needs to limit any debts to the actual costs of moving an H1-B employee to the USA (with any debts in excess of this unenforcible in the USA) and make it easier to transition to a similar job without delaying a green card application.
Finally, H1-B salaries need to be 105% of the local average and there needs to be sufficient funds to enforce these regulations.
Bullshit. The super-wealthy (like Gates and Buffett) know full well how much they gain from their cronies, and they line up to give money to the Ruling Party.
Giving money to a party is not the same as giving it to the government. In fact, they give money to the parties so that they have to give a smaller amount to the government.
Many of those "Small government Republicans" are deluded Tea Party members. They don't realize that the whole "small government" meme is driven by the super-wealthy and aimed at gutting the good things that government does. Like protecting the environment, collecting taxes from those who have the means to hide their income, etc..
What is interesting to me is how one news site that I read (but probably won't soon) has gone downhill. Perhaps the PHBs were convinced by a "compelling" sales pitch by a content management company, I don't know.
This site used to be a useful news site. In recent times, however, the site has gone to a subscription model (easily circumvented via blocking cookies or use of private browsing mode), dropped all reader comments (and hence reader engagement), and now adopted yet another new layout, where even more of the page is taken up by clickbait links. The categorization of stories is often wrong. The new site puts the opinion columns in far more prominence, so perhaps the objective is to be a paid outlet for paid (or the owner's) propaganda.
I find it hard to believe that this produces more revenue. I expect that the remaining paying users must be diehard loyalists in order to continue paying for this excrement.
You think GS is bad. Here is my experience with a Delaware-based escrow company.
Before I start, the main function of an Escrow company is to hold the money and pay it out to the correct people and only at the appropriate time.
1. Money is in escrow. Intended to be held for some time with some conditions on release. 2. One of the conditions on release of money puts payment in jeopardy. 3. Escrow company sends one of the parties their share BEFORE the money should be sent to anyone and before the issue from step 2 is resolved. 4. Escrow company sues the recipient (who is in India with no US connections) in US courts. Obtains a meaningless default judgement. 5. Escrow company deducts the cost of obtaining the meaningless judgement from the amount to be shared amongst the rest of the escrow participants. 6. One of the participants successfully sues the escrow company to force it to eat the legal bill (and any excess money sent in error in step 3.) itself. 7. Escrow company adds its legal costs defending 6. to the amount deducted from the other participants (except for the one who sued). 8. Other participants sue the escrow company to get it to eat all its legal costs and any excess sent in error to the one participant in step 3. Suit is successful and eventually, the Escrow company has to agree to not deduct any legal costs and make up any excess money sent in step 3.
In summary, escrow company screwed up, tried to pass the costs onto the very people it should have protected and had to be sued twice to get it to eat the costs of its own mistakes.
The school has a responsibility to protect students.
It doesn't have an absolute responsibility to protect students. It doesn't have a responsibility to protect them from things that occur outside school hours and off school premises.
It is not stupid to avoid older workers if the government sets up rules that make it more expensive to hire them.
Aside from salaries, the biggest cost differential between older and younger workers is medical insurance. That's why the country needs a single-payer medical scheme, instead of today's setup which delivers the highest medical cost in the world.
I agree that people who use more data should pay more, but once you buy a GB of data there should not be a time limit on when you can use it.
The issue here is: how much more? In practice, that extra bandwidth doesn't cost the ISP very much. Most of their costs are fixed infrastructure-related cost, that don't very very much if more bandwidth is consumed.
If bandwidth costs are variable, then time of use should also be taken into account. Using bandwidth in the middle of the night, when most people are not using any bandwidth, causes and additional cost to the ISP of approximately nothing.
Ultimately, bandwidth caps and charges are not connected to the ISPs' costs. Instead, they are aimed at protecting the cable business.
Perhaps your bank supports a Windows Phone app, but many banks don't. App developers have been pulling apps from Windows phone, so the situation for WP users is actually getting worse. Finally, it's quite well known that many WP apps don't work as well as their Android/iPhone equivalents.
The problem is similar to that of a Linux desktop: for any given buyer, it only takes one missing must-have app (or feature) to make the whole platform unattractive.
This is something that I have wondered abut for some time. At the most primitive level we think about interactions and events at the fundamental level as random. For example the mechanisms behind radioactive decay.
But are these things really random, or are they merely beyond our ability to predict them? If they are not truly random, then you have to believe that everything that happens in your brain is not random. In other words, it is pre-ordained, so we don't have free will at all.
Schroedinger's cat was dead or alive from the moment it was put into the box. There is no need to observe it, because observation merely confirms what has already happened.
Your argument appears to be that: "Applocker meets its specifications, thus its behaviour is effective".
The problem is that its specified behaviour isn't up to the task. As far as I can tell, the provided exploit would allow the user to run any of the programs you list. So, what's its point?
I don't see how this settlement will work. So, current drivers get some cash, but what about new drivers? Can't they sign up now, wait a couple of years or so and then sue?

Can you actually overdose on Iodine? I don't think so.
Of course, there are also people who don't need these pills -- people who have had Thyroid cancer and don't have and remaining thyroid tissue.
Seeing the silly marching and Sanjeev Bhaskar in the audience, I wasn't sure if it was serious, or comedy.
Let's assume that a man is accused of killing someone and hiding the body. Can he be held indefinitely until he reveals the location of the body?
No. Salaries are far too low to be legal.

Every "entrepreneur" that I have met talks BS.
I think it is that success follows from lofty goals.
How about this translation:

What does that knowledge have to do with his abilities as a cosmologist & astrophysicist?

I never claimed that it was an anti-malware tool.
I am quite sure that cash is more common in many non-Western countries. But millions of dollars worth? That would be out of the ordinary.
I don't see how this settlement will work. So, current drivers get some cash, but what about new drivers? Can't they sign up now, wait a couple of years or so and then sue?
Basically, what you are saying is that Applocker is designed to be ineffective.
