"The medical devices I'm talking about require around $50K–$200K for FDA clearance" I think that's only if you use the expedited approval process (510k). I actually had an idea for a medical device. Turns out there was a

I like freecad. I'm just not very good at using it. I rarely do sketches and part design. I end up doing stuff the kiddie way with just joining and cutting out basic shapes from the parts bench.

I wouldn't call ot a red flag. It's just puffery like all the other BS they try to sell you on when recruiting. The company might be decent to work for, or it might be garbage.

"Prices went up and most of people can't afford cow's meat anymore. Most people are living on pasta and eggs, eventually they eat pig and chicken but that's getting rare." What an over exaggeration.

"There is some irony here. Getting some blood out is what will cure that iron overload." The real irony here is that you think treating an undiagnosed condition is a bonus. The patient could just as likely be suffering from anem

A blood test doesn't scan for other issues. A genetic test and iron study is going to run a few hundred dollars. Add in the cumulative cost for the other conditions checked for, like aneurism, and a $500 MRI isn't that bad.

MRI does not diagnose hemachromatosis. It detects iron deposits (could be due to other harmful issues). To my knowledge it would not produce a false positive. Hemachromatosis is the most common genetic issue in white people, so pretty commo

Just to point out, cancer isn't the only reason to get these. Aneurisms, hemachromatosis, etc can all be serious. I know someone who got scanned for $500 and they caught hemachromatosis via iron deposits in the liver. Much better than

Yeah, but standard DVDs and CDs degrade in less than the stated 100 years.

Best choice will be thick metal medium, such as stainless steel. Probably use a 177x177 QR code with Q or H error correction engraved (deeply). I would probably compress the data and encode it as Hex so it can be stored in alphanumeric mode

Just get a set of alpha numeric punches and blank dog tags for crypto keys. Much cheaper than engraving.

GPT-5.2 can't even process a 1-2 page PDF and give me a subset of the content as a formatted word doc. Nor can it even be truthful about it's own capabilities.

Books and calculators still required knowledge of concepts and application. That's vastly different from students today asking AI to write a book report for them and retaining no knowledge from it. I don't consider AI to be outsta

Yes, but the realization of this comes from experience or age. There are always new hires to fill the positions when the pay is high enough compared to the alternatives.

Yeah, tariffs can be one part of it, especially things like anti-dumping. But there is no tariff for outsourcing virtual work. The US outsources something like 300k jobs per year, and tariffs won't fix that.

"In other words if the current bubble are for solar or fusion power" For that to be true, there would have to be a ridiculous amount of money at a massive scale for those, which would imply that consumers are being gouged for it.

That's more of a moral question. The best and brightest are the ones running the casino. Why would someone spend 8 years in expensive schools becoming a doctor when they can work as a developer or marketer for an online sports book? Mo

"because all the money has gone into casino economy not capacity building" Executives won't build on-shore capacity when they'll just get undercut by off-shore shops. It's less risky to just outsource.

That's only a bad thing if automation and AI don't increase productivity (shrink the number of workers needed). Otherwise, it's a benefit. Taxes are already unsustainable in the US.

Slow and sustained population decline while automation and AI are increasing is great news. A gradual gobal population decrease would be beneficial in every way except for economies built on perpetually increasing consumption.

"it's easier and cheaper to let China do the dirty work." This is true for just about any industrial due to the environmental regulation disparity.

Is the bulletin stating that border patrol is performing the action, or is the bulletin making their agents aware of intel being shared by others?
