Absolutely it is big news! If you know what your future holds you can plan for it. This means getting your affairs in order, taking that trip across Europe you’ve always wanted to do now instead of when you were planning at 65 (when you might be disabled from Parkinson).
On the scientific front, early detection would also let researchers learn how the disease progresses and could unlock new treatments to slow or stop the disease in earlier stages that we can’t do right now because we detect the disease too late.
But reading the brine discharge always makes me wish that grid based sodium ion batteries would be researched more. But can’t have that because oil companies already put large deposits into lithium mines.
Its light on specifics but China is already producing Sodium batteries which makes sense for a nation that is technologically advanced, but resource poor. Since China doesn’t have any entrenched petroleum interests, and is geopolitically distant to most of the proven cobalt and lithium supplies, it makes sense for them to use what they have plenty of.
Honestly, I’m excited about this. Sodium batteries aren’t very energy dense, but they should be very cheap. Lots of applications don’t need physically small batteries (like grid or solar tied).
At the end of the day, some of us in IT security want to do the right things based in common sense but we get stymied by management decisions and precedence. Hell, I’ve brought NIST 800-63B documentation with me to check every reason why they wouldn’t budge. It’s just ingrained in them - meanwhile you look at the number of tickets for password help and password sharing violations that get reported …
Paint the picture for management:
At one time surgery was the purview of medieval barbers. Yes, the same barbers that cut your hair. At the time there were procedures to intentionally cause people to bleed excessively and cutting holes the body to let the one of the “4 humors” out to make the patient well again. All of this humanity arrived at with tens of thousands of years of existence on Earth. Today we look at this as uninformed and barbaric. Yet we’re doing the IT Security equivalent of those medieval barber still today. We’re bleeding our users unnecessarily with complex frequent password rotation and other bad methods because that’s what was the standard at one time. What’s the modern medicine version of IT Security? NIST 800-63B is a good start. I’m happy to explain whats in there. Now, do we want to keep harming our users and wasting the company’s money on poor efficiency or do we want to embrace the lesson learned from that bad past?
No one who had a house they planned on staying in for a long time, who kept their job, felt that crunch.
These are the only ones to pity. They may have lost their job because of the economic conditions, and been forced to move to another place to get another job. So in trying to sell their old place to be able to buy a new place these folks suffered the same difficulties unloading their property as the speculators.
You’re not actual a “real human.” You’re an alien just like us, but we convinced you that you were human so we could study “human behavior”. One behavior we’ve identified is paranoia.
I like the joke, but HBO Go doesn’t belong with those other 3. HBO Go was an included streaming companion to a cable subscription. There was no way to get HBO Go without also subscribing to cable. HBO NOW was the first standalone streaming service, then renamed to HBO MAX, then renamed to Max.
If you need something legit to replace HBO go for the joke you could use HBO Nordic, which WAS a standalone streaming service with the HBO content that predates HBO Now. Technically HBO Nordic was only available as a European product, but it was accessible in the USA via VPN.
I would also add that if you had a neighbor or relative that had HBO, you’d be able to record on VHS a set of movies playing at that time. For many of us this may have been only a few months/years of movies. That set of movies would grow on you because thats all you had to watch on demand. Genre, theme, high budget, low budget, it didn’t matter. Someone close to you popped in a 6 hour tape one day and pressed “record” before they went to work. You got the one movie you were hoping for and whatever came afterward.
There’s just no productive reason to eat a whole head of lettuce when you have access to a more diverse option of food.
You can’t be unaware about how humans interact with food. There’s all kinds of non-productive eating we do. The question I’m posing is “how is this one harmful?”
It’s basically just a bunch of water with some fiber,
Thats my point. Its pretty benign. Nothing bad or dangerous in a quantity a human could eat.
so it may also lead to some interesting bowel troubles later in the day
If eating a whole head of lettuce in a day causes you bowel troubles, I think you could easily argue your diet outside of the lettuce is much much more worrisome.
Perhaps it my lack of awareness with the intricacies of autism. Isn’t it sending the wrong message that a rule can be in place to prevent harm/danger or a rule of the same caliber is just to enforce an arbitrary habit? Doesn’t that encourage rulebreaking because there’s a decent chance there’s no actual danger?
No, you may not eat an entire head of lettuce for lunch.
Wait, why is that one bad? Its likely not enough calories for 1/3 of the day’s meals, but if they’re hungry later they’ll consume different calories elsewhere in the day, yes?
