Per the FDA definition, a medical device is a device that is intended to diagnose or to treat a disease.

So I guess these chest binders are treating a disease after all. Which I wonder what disease that might be?

Devices 2-7 are available as various pieces of hardware if you have the hardware.

It doesn't say this, but I suspect that disks received a higher default number than printers because the 1541 disk drive went to market after several printers were already on the market.

I can somehow hear this lyric.

There was a Nova episode in the 1970s that was dedicated to a crazy rich guy's hare-brained scheme to mine minerals off of the sea floor.

Then, about thirty years later another Nova episode revealed that the mining scheme from the earlier episode was a CIA cover story to cover up for a top secret claw game operation to lift a sunken Soviet submarine off of the sea floor.

So I guess the first one was fake news.

It's worse than that. In C++, if you fail to catch an exception, then std::terminate() is called. In Rust the only options are roughly equivalent to C++ noexcept, or std::terminate() [panic in Rust]. There's nothing in between.

Rust has many container-like objects that may or may contain a value, like Box. Most of these have an unwrap() method that either obtains the inner value or panics the whole application.

I think this article is about the downgrade, not the reversal that happened later.

Basically, it's old news.

Fentanyl the WMD is all over every hospital and nursing home in America. Time to send in the UN inspectors and set up the no fly zones.

But, but, the other terminal on those batteries is floating?

Well, the same novel has Bond challenging the villain to a very high stakes game of....contract bridge. Just saying...

It's usually the case that federal judges did not fall off the turnip truck yesterday.

In this case the actual order says to turn over all copies. It also says to deposit one copy at the federal court, which the feds can access if they apply for and obtain a lawful search warrant.

If the feds are found to be holding onto copies later, they can get in a bunch of trouble. More importantly, they can no longer publish these emails as exhibits in a hypothetical future prosecution, like they did with Comey. Because as soon as they do, it's all "hey where did you get those from?"

The crazy thing is we now have algorithms that can do the CSI "enhance!" thing. But it's still just making shit up that seems plausible.

Once the information is no longer in the image, it's not there. No amount of fuckery will bring back the real information.
