Your initial proposal was that most of the Covid related deaths were due underlying conditions.

Now you propose that the underlying condition most present isn't really a condition.

"More than 99% of Italy’s coronavirus fatalities were people who suffered from previous medical conditions"

What were the most common pre-existing conditions?

"More than 75% had high blood pressure, about 35% had diabetes and a third suffered from heart disease."

How common are those conditions in the United States?

High Blood Pressure - 1 in 3

Diabetes - 9 in 100

Heart Disease - 1 in 10

It doesn't matter if it is IR, UV, or visible. Only the power and duration matter.

Lidar uses very short pulses and very low power and is very safe even en masse.

It is almost certainly someone using lazy-loading when they should have disabled it for that query.

Though... since it sounds like the query was returning the entire table at once eager loading will cause issues of another variety at some point.

Either way, I'd chalk it up to bad design rather than bad tools.

I'm not one to proselytize since I use a handful of languages every day, but when my Java hat is on, I double click a build target, my software is tested, built, deployed side-by-side with my current production build.

New users are automatically pushed to the new build, and users with existing sessions remain on the previous build. When I undeploy the previous build, the rest of the users start seeing the new build as well.

That's all out of the box with small config tweaks for our environment. It is truly torturous.

Of course it does.

Not that a little detail like that would stop someone from complaining about something that they don't put in the effort to learn.

Which isn't to say that 1550 nm light is safer -- the mode of destruction is just different, e.g. corneal damage leading to cataracts or surface burns rather than retinal damage.

Typically you select a class of laser safe for the environment it will be used in -- class 1 is typical of LIDAR systems for this reason which poses no eye damage risk.

The same way that Spotify doesn't just ham-fistedly show you all your Facebook messages... and other apps don't show you messages intended for Spotify.

Presumably messages are tagged in such a way that the source and/or destination are intended for Spotify. Using that same system, you should be able to specify "Spotify can only read & write Spotify messages."

That page indicates that you do need an M1 for motor driven cycles(less than 150cc), and an M1 or M2 for Mopeds(which is news to me).

It is insane to me that Microsoft hasn't already provided this. I get that you can't replace VBA entirely, or phase it out, without breaking a Lot of Things, and putting a lot of VBA programmers out of work. But every aspect of this being native to Excel would make macro work and data programming easier for a huge segment of the business world.

In other words, I like what you're doing and will probably buy a license. But... I don't see a license option that looks like it lets me test it out in a commercial environment without paying first. I might just be missing something there though. I'd love to test it out and be in compliance with your licensing.
