Based on your link it looks like < 50 / million for a 3 vaccine series? Don't forget to consider the baseline risk of myocarditis in this cohort as well as the risk of myocarditis with COVID itself. I'm also not sure where

The highly sophisticated formula of "220 - age" leaves a bit of wiggle room, I'm sure. It would seem particularly convenient to have MHR reduce linearly (by whole numbers) annually. I always thought of MHR as "you'l

This is not supported by metabolic ward studies. Metabolism per kg of lean body mass is largely maintained, the reductions in absolute basal metabolic rate during significant weight loss are almost exclusively due to having less tissue for

Many thanks to OP for some real-life examples of using rust-lldb! I keep wanting to learn to use it, and I think this was really helpful.

I'm not sure I get it -- if you had your core dependencies in setup.py / setup.cfg / pyproject.toml (for development) and then pip freeze (for creating a highly reproduced venv for applications), would that be similar? Why wo

People should be aware that adding additional mirrors (instead of switching mirrors as suggested here) can lead to big slowdowns, as pip has no way to determine whether a given / found wheel is the m best choice without comparing all o

I've had ~5 mbps download speeds for the last 5 years in a rural US location. I set up devpi on an old Raspberry Pi hoping to have this same experience, but after several months I disabled it and found it was actually slowing things do

$5k would be the estimated outside-of-insurance cost to you, to avoid spending hours of the MD trying to justify the study with the insurance. Meningiomas by chance? Has the monitoring improved your health? I'm not sure whether I would

Did you offer to pay for the MRI cash (roughly $5k I would bet)? Because to me this sounds more like "your insurance won't pay for it because it is not an indicated study by ACR criteria." I hear that spending hours on the ph

While I agree that it may or may not be true, I'm curious as to what makes it hard for you to "buy it." I had always thought that anything attention-grabbing was likely involving some dopamingeric systems. It wouldn't su

Gotcha, thanks. Not sure how this would help replace `--pure` though.

IMO the absence of a `--pure` flag (the `-i` flag seems not to work in the same way) makes `nix develop` an unsuitable replacement for `nix-shell`. A few SO threads and nixpkgs issues seem to agree, but if I'm misunderstanding I'd

Was just going to suggest rclone as well, but for its easily toggle-able bandwidth limiter. I have slow rural internet; restic backs up locally every night, rclone then syncs it offsite. A systemd timer throttles it during walking hours and

I also find those numbers interesting. I, with help from my clerk and my head nurse, called 50 hospitals trying to find available space for a sick patient that required transfer from my small rural facility (we had been at 100% ICU capacity

Not sure I understand this comment. Unfortunately each of these cases often occupies an ICU bed for weeks. As a result we transfer dozens of other patients hundreds of miles away, and often after >24 hours boarding in the emergency depar

Where are you getting this from? I bet they have taken at least 50% capacity on average of our 4 bed ICU over the last few months.
