Is that relevant to anything? Credit score bad. Next.

Why

FDA mandates how recalls happen, pharmaceutical or medical device.

I almost wonder if it is smarter to have the autoland not be possible to turn off if pilots were for example hypoxic / mentally incapacitated.

If they could do what is promised, we plebians wouldn’t have access.

Yeah the company I work for is having our 3rd or 4th Reduction In Force this year… Upper management is also pushing hard for us to all use more AI.

It’s great, not only are we understaffed with impossible deadlines, but we lost all of our tribal knowledge, and half the fires we are fighting are due to inexperienced workers using AI for everything.

For context, until the 1960s, the terms moron, idiot, cretin, and imbecile were all genuine, non-offensive terms used, including by psychiatrists, to refer to people with mental intellectual disabilities and low intelligence. These words were discontinued in that form when concerns arose that they had developed negative meanings, with “retard” and “retarded” replacing them.[6][7] After that, the terms “handicapped” (United States) and “disabled” (United Kingdom) replaced “retard” and “retarded”. Disabled is now considered a more polite term than handicapped in the United States as well.

I made good money off nvidia. Not going to be a bag holder.

Society wasn’t even ready for a waymo to kill a cat

Often times it’s cheaper to add the label than pay for the product testing in a lab.

It’s theoretically possible, some experts think no level of radiation is “safe”. Yet, it’s so improbable that the risk of developing cancer from a single banana is indistinguishable from background noise. You get a far higher dose of radiation just from living on earth.

This fun infographic from xkcd shows a comparison of doses, and just how low a banana ranks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose#/media/File:Radiation_Dose_Chart_by_Xkcd.png

It would have to be the “perfect shot” of a particle hitting a cell to cause DNA damage that wasn’t repairable. And you would need to be extremely immunocompromised.

If you were in such a position to get cancer from eating a single banana, you would likely already get it from living life.

They don’t actually tell you why.

I presume it’s because people in stem are more likely to have strong opinions about statistics, validity of tests or science, that sort of thing. Or, they’ll sound more competent when discussing with other jurors.

I also think both sides wanted to appeal to emotions, and have their expert witnesses be the technical authorities.

I recently went to jury selection, was excused twice. Probably because I raised my hand when they asked “has anyone been a victim of reckless driving” and the case was about a DUI and reckless driving. The other involved DNA evidence and they struck all of the people who worked in STEM.

Anyway, the security did NOT let me bring in my fountain pen, asked me if it was a pen gun lol… Ball point and pencils were fine. I think crochet needles won’t be allowed… Vapes and zyns were allowed. They didn’t seem to care about food or liquids at the courthouse I went to.

You’ll be spending most of your time in the waiting rooms, unless you’re picked for a trial.

Drinks and food were up to the judge, but the 2 justices I reported to basically said “if you have drinks, make sure they’re covered, otherwise be careful and don’t spill”. Boiled down to “don’t make a mess”.

They told us to turn phones off, but a lot of folks did not.

Books and sudoku should be fine. Just try to bring an empty bottle you’re okay with tossing if needed. There will likely be vending machines inside too.

You would have? That’s fucked up.

Pin pitch means how tiny the physical pins in the connector can be spaced apart.

IR drop losses happen because a wire has resistance, it isn’t a perfect conductor. 28AWG wire has about 0.22ohm/m. Given a 2 meter cable, you might expect to see 0.44ohm one-way. Current is also travelling back, so the circuit “sees” another 0.44ohm. That’s a total of 0.88ohm

A wire will cause voltage drop following ohm’s law. V=I/*R. So for 1A of current, you will see 0.88V lost.

Say you’re trying to charge at 15W (5V 3A), your phone is only going to ‘see’ 2.36 volts, and 7.9W are wasted in the cable.

For a 100W device (20V, 5A), 4.4V are lost, also meaning 22W are wasted.

The concentration of them is rising exponentially, that’s the part that terrifies me.

It’s possible we just haven’t crossed a threshold yet.
