pricking

Apple has a knack for pricking up on trends a bit early or creating them. I think iOS really kicked of ARM / smartphone market share.

Imagine someone pricking you with a pin. And doing it repeatedly.

It's like being taught to walk barefoot, pricking your foot and deciding small prickly objects need to be gotten rid of. It never occurs to them to wear shoes.

I just got too tired of pricking my skin for glucose tracking, noting down my weight, and resetting my pedometer everyday.

Learning a low level language and pricking yourself with a few pointers makes you a better programmer, even if you never write a big app in it.

One researcher at vector died in 2004 from pricking herself with a needle filled with Ebola[5]. Whether that's offensive in nature is very difficult to determine.

The account of the German researcher pricking her finger with a needle containing the Ebola virus... Oh man, that's terrifying.

So how else could Homakov convince them otherwise other than pricking a high-profile dev group? What if Homakov managed to alert the Github team, and they managed to fix it quietly?

Coronavirus was the impetus for pricking the bubble. As Warren Buffet so eloquently put it: “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.”

And don't live in a time where most kids died before adulthood and where pricking your thumb on a rose could cause an infection leading to death. In our history, we know that people treated other people pretty poorly, and animals even worse.

I had type 2 for a short time, and I used long-term and short-term insulin at meal times, with the finger-pricking type of measurement. I don't think insulin pumps would carry enough insulin or are able to deliver enough.

Every option you listed would be pin pricking a giant. Cyber warfare is super cheap, but it's also orders of magnitude less effective than sustained aerial bombardment or a complete naval blockade.

It's just pricking the amygdala of an ignorant public in order to urge the herd in a desired direction, and nothing else. The bottom line with cyber-security is that governments are the last organizations that should be involved in trying to research it.

In short, the knuckle popping sound is more akin to quickly pulling your boot out of sucking mud--with the ensuing "schlorp" sound--than pricking a balloon with a pin and its more acoustically similar "pop". When joints pull apart, the joint fluid is viscous enough that gases cannot immediately rush in to fill the gap.

The traveling health care fair came to my employer recently and I remember pretty much "everything" required a similar boilerplate consent form, even just pricking your finger for blood sugar screening. For consistencies sake, 18 yrs sounds reasonable.

I think it's important to separate "the bubble" pricking from the very arbitrary nature of which industries are affected by coronavirus. I mean, for travel, restaurants, gyms, non-emergency healthcare etc.

My A1c was awful before I started finger pricking and continued to be so until I started using a CGM. I have dropped to pre-diabetic levels now. I think the problem is the method. I can see why the study came to this conclusion using finger-pricking but having an easier method of checking would probably change the outcome of the study.

Our first application is a non-invasive blood sugar monitor, that means we can detect blood sugar levels without finger pricking, pain, and blood. Our founders are a world-wide renowned professor of bio-physics and a serial entrepreneur with decades of experience in building high-tech startups.

A corporate gifting of one to every rank and file employee like some sort of morally questionable bonus is a bit different from, what I assume GP meant, folks in the lab actually working on it pricking themselves to test, or because they believe in it, can't resist, etc.
