I'm not sure that follows. That would imply that every kid has already had/been exposed to COVID and that's resulted in those per 100k numbers. It's definitely not exact to use the infection as the denominator, but I&#x2

Can you help me understand why the case count isn't the denominator? The posted numbers seem to imply that if 37k out of 100k kids had covid, 287 of them end up in the hospital. Does it not follow that if 100k out of 100k had covid tha

Even with your numbers it puts a kid's chances of ending up hospitalized with covid at 1 in 128. Granted we're probably way under counting infections in that age group, but I'll still feel much better when my kid is vaccinate

Read the plan very carefully. The reason these plans are cheap is usually because they can and do take advantage of things the ACA specifically outlawed -- rescission, lifetime caps, claim denial, the aforementioned lack of preexisting cond

Wouldn't the size of the contact patch be dictated entirely by tire pressure and not tire size? A 100lb person+bike and 100psi inflation means 1 sq inch of contact regardless of tire dimensions. They're circles on a plane, after a

I miss the days of buying hardware and that being my entire contribution to the company. Now everything is subsidized to extract money in other ways. I love the simplicity of my Rokus but I don't see their business model succeeding lon

I still have my TI-85 from high school on my desk with batteries that expire in 2023. 2013 sounds about right for when I last put fresh batteries in it. Admittedly I use wabbitemu with a TI-85 ROM on my phone so I don't reach for my ph

This has always seemed like the proper solution to me. Force individual officers to have malpractice-like insurance that pays for these fees (individual liability). Any way of spreading the liability to the department or city bypasses indiv

This report [1] seems to imply that around 35% of minor crashes aren't reported which is significant, but not enough by itself to move the needle too much. Another factor is highway vs surface miles. Highway miles would seem significan

Logitech makes a very similar keyboard now and I love it (I had to return a sculpt because the g key would keep getting hung up on the shell). https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZWK2TQT

Shiller Price/Earnings[1], probably. It looks at the previous 10 years of earnings to do a P/E to try to even out the earnings and get a better picture. But I'd imagine even just normal P/E ratio would be better... [1]

I'm not 100% sure what all the ACLU does so correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they were a bunch of lawyers? What can they do for Chicago or people shot by police? Who could they sue and for what to fix those problems? Isn&#x2

You can see one example at the end of the video on their technology page where the cyclist can't make up his mind. It recognizes the left turn sign from the rider (you can see the sybmol change when he extends his arm). https:/&#

They can be meshed, but you need to set them up wired first. The UAP-AP is 2.4Ghz only, the UAP-AC-PRO also supports 5Ghz. The UAP-AC-LITE has fewer MIMO antennas but also supports 5Ghz.

We are in the mainframe/terminal era of AI right now. Just like with early computing we don't yet have the local resources to do AI locally, so we're using terminals accessing the cloud. The consequence is our data also lives

I think this will eventually be resolved the way vaccines were with liability shifted to government. There's just too much societal good to come out of self driving cars for liability to be the deal breaker.

Great idea on the motion sensor, it would be cool to use HDMI-CEC to do something similar with a TV. If anyone is interested I put together software[1] to do the slideshow piece on large format displays using a pi taped to the back. (I use
