Yes, the mechanism is effectively EAR/FDPR and you can check (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithograph...) for more detailed history, but the EUV technology ASML further developed and commercialized (no small feat) was licensed from a US Govt created consortium by which the government maintains their IP rights.
In the US, professional certifications (PE, Bar, USMLE, CPA) exist to partially solve this problem when the certification is required to perform work legally. These are typically required in industries where lives and livelihoods of individuals and the public are at risk based on the decisions of the professional.
Joining in with some other comments on this thread, if the stamp of a certified person was required to submit/sign apps with more than 10K or 100K users and came with personal risk and potential loss of licensure, I imagine things would change quickly.
I'm personally not for introducing more gatekeeping and control over software distribution (Apple/Google already have too much power). Also not sure how you'd make it work in an international context, but would be simple to implement for US based companies if Apple/Google wanted to tackle the problem.
I think the broader issue is that we as a society don't see data exposure or bad development practices as real harm. However, exposing the addresses and personal info of people talking about potentially violent, aggressive or unsafe people seems very dangerous.
The charitable reading is that this was done as a blinded study, so the testers/researchers would not know and would prevent bias in the testing and data analysis.
There should be a way to unblind in most experiment designs though
Typically payments in the foreign currency are pegged to exchange rates, in which case you’re still paying the same amount of “value” whether in pesos or dollars.
Regardless you’d be subject to Section 988 and could potentially owe capital gains (or ordinary income) tax if you had a large enough gain from buying, holding and then exchanging the foreign currency.
The US code treats all non-USD currency as property, so you can (mostly) think of it as any other transaction with an exchange between assets. There are some nuances and exceptions of course.
It seems that many of the cities that invested in those ideas had improvements.
However, compared to 2021, 18 metros observed an increase in walking activity in 2022, with California metros dominating nine out of the top ten spots. New York City ranked 10th
I was also skeptical, seems there’s a lot more to this story. Not that they didn’t disappear and reappear, but the spread of them isn’t as straightforward as we thought.
This is likely an indication of their internal targets for ARPU over the next months as they start aggressively monetizing and push to IPO.
For reference, approximate global ARPU if converted to monthly for other social networks in 2022: Pinterest: ~$0.5, Snap: ~$1, Twitter: ~$1.6, FB: ~$3.3
This says the IPO roadshow will say Reddit has potential somewhere between Twitter and Facebook, which feels like the right sales pitch to me.
It’s complicated and depends heavily on the jurisdiction.
In order for it to be involuntary termination, what you’d likely need is a situation in which you have worked and not been paid for that work and the employer refusing to do so. This would create illegal or intolerable working conditions, to which you’d then need to argue is constructive dismissal.
But you should speak to a qualified employment attorney.
For most illnesses, you are correct, reducing a fever is unnecessary. However infants and toddlers are at risk for febrile seizures should their temperature increase too high, too quickly. In those scenarios (fast rising temp) there is considerable medical benefit to intervention.
If you’ve done all the standard stuff, clapping out beats, playing drums, etc and it’s not clicking. The best tool I’ve ever found is dance. Try to get him to learn how to move his body in time to music. Doesn’t matter what he’s doing or what kind of dance. Rhythm is something you feel.
Always felt bad when replacing these old control rooms, there is a certain beauty and elegance to their design that is missing in modern HMIs.
This sort of color coding is common in industrial settings and definitely was on panelboards of the era. It would be really interesting if the color coding seen here in any way aligns with ANSI/ASME A13.1.
There are working fluids (molten salts, liquid metals, etc) that can work in this regime, typically with ceramic piping systems (usually ceramic lined nickel alloy steels) with all ceramic/graphite pumping systems. That said, it’s used in very niche applications and hard to maintain at the scale required for a CSP plant.
If you’re after heat, it would be much simpler to just use the steam. Use it as is, as we have for centuries now, or you could transfer it to a higher thermal capacity oil, and if you want some energy, divert it to a steam turbine.
For cement you could presumably use the heat as a preheater, or use the energy for an arc furnace.
In this case, congress is not limited. There is a clear way out, the state buys out the bond holders and eliminates the debt. They just can’t dissolve the district without addressing the debt. The cost to do this is said to be 1B. And given the many more billions Disney has poured into the infrastructure and the fact it will continue to use the municipal utilities providing a cash stream, it doesn’t seem unrealistic or unfair to me. (Not to mention the massive tourism benefit this deal has provided to the state)
The issue seems to be that there is not enough political will to use 1B of Florida’s budget to make this happen, not that there is any prohibition on them doing so.
