If you "fail internally", you only screw yourself, your team, or your company.
When you fail externally, you screw others that bought your vision not because you're an innovator, but because they wanted to count on your service to work and keep working.

Comment cesium-137 vs potassium-40 (Score 2) 133
I downloaded the paper's supplementary datasheet (excel file) and for context the radioactivity of the cesium-137 that is the focus of the paper is 1 or 2 orders of magnitude below the radioactivity from naturally-occurring potassium-40 in the honey. So absolutely no cause for health concern.

NGO Freedom House rated Japan’s Internet access as “free” with scores as low as 22.
