Submission + - European satellite finds ozone on Venus (networkworld.com) 1
The discovery by ESA’s Venus Express satellite makes Venus only the third planet in our solar system with an ozone layer with Earth and Mars being the others."
Is this good for America at all. A lot of the best of what comes out of Silicon Valley come from people who have cut their teeth elsewhere. New ideas, different ways of doing things often come from outside the Valley and move in. We've already seen a decline in how important business views tech workers. Many stalwarts of the Valley are beginning to show the cracks of age. To some degree, the Valley is already it's own boys club. You are in or you aren't or you know someone. The question is are the people in this club just repeating what those before them have done, or are they coming up with anything new? Separate yourself form the whole too much and you start to loose sight of the people you are building for, and you begin to overspecialize; We've all heard the line, over-specialize and you breed in weakness.
That's ok
Right
I didn't know that German for France was "sufficient surplus reserve capacity"
Or rather, they should at least give you what various safety levels are. One of the big misconceptions is that we know what is a dangerous level of radiation: in fact all we know is what is too much radiation. Back in the 50's and 60's a group of scientist were asked to provide safety information on radiation and they came up with a scale using the points of zero and you aren't gonna see the end of the week. They then drew a linear line between these points because they had little to go on, and presented it as a best guess and further research was needed to prove it's truly linear, exponential, logarithmic, or what-have-you. Since then the linear graph has become kind of dogma and various groups have picked various points across it to set their safety thresholds.
You'll find that you have a set threshold in most Asian nations that is quite low, due to close experience and some might say paranoia in relation to the deployment of nuclear arms.
Roughly double these guidelines, and you get what is considered safe in many European countries.
Roughly double them once more, and now you are heading toward the Americas.
Yep, people seem to forget how much "Hackers looooooooooooooooove noodles". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramen_worm
Variables don't; constants aren't.
