Would love to see the Red Cross partner with someone like you here in Australia. Not affiliated, just a donor. We're not financially incentivised like other countries but there's a big culture here about celebrating the free milkshake and/or sausage roll you get after donating.
Not sure why you've been downvoted so heavily. That seems like a misuse of the downvote purpose.
But yes, I kind of agree with other commenters here in that maybe teaching absolute respect of a knife/table saw/power tool and its power to maim is a really important lesson that this sidesteps?
At least they cared. I found an enumeration attack on an Australian referral service where phone numbers were keys and it returned way too much personal information. Responsibly disclosed numerous times, LinkedIn contacted employees. Not even acknowledged and at last check, still open vulnerability.
The sad thing is, that at some point they truly get exposed (big leak) and your name might come up because they have nobody else to blame.
I wish you the best and hope you have lawyer insurance.
If CNT (Carbon Nanotubes) are displaying similar risk factors to asbestos, what is the scale difference between these? I've never felt so compelled to eat something that could kill me.
I believe the issue with CNTs and asbestos is that once they're in your lungs, your body won't be able to break it down. This is literally made of flour.
I assume it's orders of magnitude better than asbestos obviously, since flour is organic and decomposes, but it still doesn't seem great. If the particulate is this small, it can probably get pretty deep into your lungs and just sit there for a while. I'm no expert, but I don't know what would decompose flour in your lungs, especially if it's going to get deeper being so light and tiny.
Like it's not asbestos, but it's also not air. So maybe nanopasta comes with an MSDS binder.
Asbestos is like having glass shards that are so sharp they keep damaging cells and never go away. Constant cellular repair statistically results in cancer.
We take photos of our kids to track and timestamp anaphylaxis or other medical reasons. Incredibly important at the time, and then when dynamic wallpapers start mixing them in to the roster you desperately want to forget them.
Ensure you have adequate cleanup procedures too. I heard from ex-employees of a major car reselling platform that CSAM was distributed by creating a draft car ad, never publishing it and the CSAM was now hosted and accessible via direct image URLs. The records were orphaned, not sure how they got the tip-off.
I was in half a dozen SV companies, mostly startups but a couple big ones, between 1985 and 2004 when I moved away, so I have no idea what it is like now. But since you asked "did it ever really matter," here is my experience. I interviewed for my first job when I was wrapping up college. Two weeks after arriving for that job in Sunnyvale, they announced layoffs, so I had to interview again. Luckily, there were hundreds of companies within 15 minutes who were doing similar work, and found employment without interruption. Since then I have never had to really apply for a job again, and I've never been unemployed.
Back then, one recruiter or another called me about once every three weeks about some opportunity or other. People I worked with who had moved on would call to see if I was interested to join them. Or if I thought it was time to move on, there were many dozens of former coworkers I could call for leads. Those interviews were perfunctory -- that contact had already sold me to their boss, so it was really more about convincing me to join their company.
In 2004 I moved to Austin and things have been very different. I've never had a single recruiter call, and if I did decide to change jobs, I would have far fewer options than when I lived in SV. I'm nearing retirement age so I don't expect to ever interview again.
"Design Twitter" is the only reason I haven't deleted my account yet. Yes, Twitter is full of toxicity and can easily become an echo chamber -- but if you actively set out to create one it can be a unique positive. Bear with me.
I follow a range of designers and front enders from the early Dribbble days and basically haven't added many people since. Yes it might be "polite" to follow back friends and colleagues who follow you, but it disrupts the balance. I don't even follow my own parents back because it introduces a bunch of off-topic content.
