The 510K equivalency approval process insures that the only drugs, therapy, or devices that are affordable to bring to market are things that are already in the system. This is convenient for the Big Drug/Device companies that own the patent portfolios for said technologies.
The Clinical Trials process is chock full of middlemen and bureaucrats wringing megabucks out of it. I remember when a new wave of 'Regulatory Affairs' turds descended on the company I worked for. Up until then we were basically a skunkworks type operation. The reg people came in and basically said 'halt.'
It are lithium batteries. There is no hazard in totally running them down, if charged properly. The capacity simply goes down to the point where it is no longer worth it.
Part of the process of breaking down is physical erosion of the sealed cases the batteries are contained in. So you've got ten thousand pounds of lithium in a small contained space. The time is ticking away until one of the batteries erodes to the point where the seal is breached and the lithium inside the battery ignites. The heat and flames ignite the rest of the batteries.
The Pharmacist usually provides zero value-add in places like Walgreens and CVS. He's there to satisfy a legal requirement, nothing more, unless a customer actually bothers him to ask a question. The same can't be said of the programmer and the master electrician.
But thanks for your contribution to the discussion.
HTML, which was supposed to separate content from presentation, no longer does, thanks to "advances" that have strayed too far from first principles.
Said advances really piss me off, because I am a confirmed SeaMonkey user, and the Composer is such a nice way to arrange and store ideas. When I see web content I want to save, or just ideas I want to organize, pulling up Composer and making a table and putting stuff in it is so easy. If anything gets borked, you switch from WYSIWYG mode to 'HTML Source' mode and you can tweak it.
HTML is nice for organizing and marking up your content. It was never intended as a replacement for Desktop Publishing or an Application Framework.
But as long as SeaMonkey still exists it remains useful for that kind of thing. It's just sad that when I am on a page I want to save 'edit' brings up a local copy of a Javascript/Stylesheet shitbag.
What the hell were you doing standing next to a button that would kill a million puppies? Did you put the puppies in the pen? Why didn't you dismantle it when you had the chance?
I blame you for the whole situation: standing there like an idiot waiting for someone with a gun to come by.
Furthermore, the standarization encouraged and enforced by MS-DOS and Windows set up the PC platform to be something that evolved and left in it's wake a large diaspora of hardware that made it possible for Linux to thrive. It might be different today (with the bloatware many Linux desktop environments have become) but Linux probably wouldn't exist as it does today if it hadn't been possible while it was 'growing up' to take last year's Windows PC and install a current Linux distro on it which worked well.
For years, old Windows boxes were 'free hardware for geeks' to run Linux on. Macs were useless for this. The plastic box 'bought in a department store' computers like the Amiga were also not any good for this.
It's called 'being slimed by the media' and it's a popular blood sport for the US press. Some people are really scared of Trump. It's the hatred of Reagan brought forward to a new generation. It makes the shit thrown at Obama look mild.
Dig in your pocket and pull out a dime and look at the picture of Roosevelt. Then think about the fact that FDR was the Chief Executive responsible for the internment. Then, consider what an adored liberal icon FDR has been made into by the modern Democratic party.
Unfortunately, at least in the USA, the pharmacist is just that asshole with the wallpaper at CVS or Walgreens who makes it take 40 minutes to move 50 pills from the big storage container to the little pill bottle they put a printed label on. Basically a rent seeker who has 'the degree' and has a team of lackeys running the counter and the cash register.
"How can we catch them if we turn off our monitors, put on real shoes and go out and find them!?!" rages the nerd, red-faced and spinning on his swivel chair.
The part about this scheme that concerns me is that Daimler is working hard to create as much value as possible from older, deteriorating batteries, while they continue to deteriorate.
For some reason, the idea of banking all the old deteriorating batteries together in a big mass and working hard to keep squeezing energy into and out of them seems like there might be certain hazard in it.
Maybe I'm just not thinking things through, because I'm not involved in the project in any way, but don't those old batteries sometimes go to a leaky state eventually? Is there a final decommissioning plan in place for the batteries in these installations? When is the EOL on the cells and batteries?
The nice thing about books is there isn't really a peer review process. You can publish whatever you want, as long as you or one of your friends owns a printing press.
That's why nutballs like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Moore, etc. do so well with their books. They can say whatever shit they want, and the 'peer review' comes from whatever various cranks write about them in the comments section of Amazon.com which nobody ever really reads anyway.

An article about fuckenberg is the equivalent of a Kardashian news story, translated to Slashdot. So why shouldn't we react negatively to it?
Maybe he'll leave the rest of the world alone for a little while. You do have to feel bad for the kids, though.

Ah yes, the first thing I would think of if I wanted a list of command shortcuts is to type: https://support.apple.com/kb/P... into my browser.

Bill Nye himself is just a TV actor, though. So it's Hollywood all the way down.
he probably knows what the entire pallet of treatment options
Correct! And he probably knows the forklift operator, who can deliver that pallet to the loading dock!
Probably you are that addict. The database should then be used to reach you to help you deal with and end your addiction.

So you advocate invading those countries? Sort of a redo of the Iraq/Afghanistan operation?
"We can do it right this time, because those bungling fools are no longer in charge!"
Right.
You mean the political parties can't lease busses and vans and lead senile seniors and illiterate welfare recipients to the polls anymore?
I guess the same applies to Nancy Pelosi.

A lot of people just aren't worth liking.
More likely you would put together a diode matrix with the bootstrap code to start the paper tape reader.
I was writing code for 4 bit microcontrollers less than 20 years ago.
Read the book Kill Chain

Anonymous Coward quoting Doonesbury.
Well, that wraps it all up.
"We need some muscle over here, this dude has everything figured out and needs to assume power!"
I, personally, would prefer to refer to them as 'grease stains on the pavement.' But we've got a little work to do on that first.
