There is a reason Americans are willing to pay more for the system we have now, though it's not the one you mentioned. The U.S. health system is considered willing to go farther in treatment than socialized systems are. For example, sa

Second this. Heard of a lot of blown H-Bridge Mosfets that used MCUs to gate them. With (deterministic) hardware, there is a data sheet and test circuits so you can be sure.

Cypress sells PSoC dev/proto boards for as little as 4.99 IIRC, for Cortex M0+ chips. Lots of periphs on-chip and I/Os but not a lot of hw adapters. I've used one of their $10 PSoC 5 boards before for test automation. They do

>"Don't you think if diet and lifestyle change worked, we would recommend that to everybody?" This is the crux, "worked" means a different thing to a health care professional: to them it means when you tell 100 p

That one really stood out to me as well. All of the early Cyberpunk I remember reading seemed noir as hell. But maybe Cyberpunk has become such a big tent that "original" Cyberpunk needs a new name.

Many startups are basically a group of people who already knew each other. When one of them is any kind of technical, that's the CTO. The others aren't and so they don't have a way to vet technical people even if they wanted

Doctors can't really expect all or even most of their patients to take full responsibility for the hard work of actually fixing something. They'll recommend the thing that will work a little bit for everyone. They can't know

But the Taliban have an ideology, which is not aligned with democracy, and they would not want to legitimize what they consider a foreign system put in place by a foreign power.

The majority in the US opposed entering the war until Pearl Harbor, even though the administration of the time strongly wanted to.

I wonder if the provider is really that interested in productivity though. They are not usually bidding fixed price. The longer the project can go on, without the customer just getting so frustrated they admit defeat and cancel, the better

A different flavor of this (in home re-modeling, hardscape etc.), is that the people who come to do the estimate are different than the people who come do the job. They are typically younger and pretty much clueless as to how the work would

I'm not certain, but my first glance at this would be that git is not a good candidate to move to a cloud, at least if you want to take all of the advantages of cloud architecture, as it is promoted by the cloud services. You would hav

Thanks, didn't know about NuVAX. How old is that product? It seems like you could do much better than 70 VUPs today. Or 5 years ago, for that matter. I guess it is because everything is done in sw emulation?

Sorry you had to go through that. I was not aware that could happen so quickly, thanks.

I'm with you, and we don't have to look very far to find other cases where the "not addictive" promise turned out to be a false one.

But before enough prolonged use to cause that, aren't you already addicted, for practical purposes?

To make the argument that, because in the past the transmission from animal to human happened in nature, that in the present it could only happen there, implies that your assumptions stay constant. Things have changed since Ebola 50 years a

The difference between us and gorillas is best understood as the number of genes, not the % of nucleotides. Virus genomes are much, much smaller. Since viruses can multiply so quickly, when grown in large numbers of lab mice they can mutate

Lots of people go to movies to go out with a group of friends. They have to agree on the movie, and don't each pick their own one. They enjoy spending time together maybe more than they enjoy the actual movie.

We seem to be moving to the idea that people can not think for themselves and so need to be told what to do by "experts", who cannot be questioned. Your ability to think critically about what you see and hear, is being marginalize

There are a lot of plants that you can eat a little part of, which then grows back, like the leaves on chard or lettuce plants. In our garden the chard plants produced for months. In commercial farming, it's just cheaper to cut the ent

Maybe try finding an open-source project you are interested in and contribute to it? It might energize you and let you re-connect with whatever you originally were looking for in a job. It might morph into a side-project, but either way its

Your employer is not really motivated to provide those things for you. They have a different motivation, which is to get you to work productively on a job they think needs doing. They may provide some of those either explicitly as an incent

And you can't easily get them that domain knowledge when you're only communicating via story descriptions or software requirements documents. They are looking at the problem through a thousands-of-miles-long tunnel.

Another study where they don't differentiate between fast-food beef, cafo vs. grass-fed, processed with nitrates/nitrites vs. non-processed, etc. And only one year of dietary surveys, for a disease that takes many years to develop

As much as 90% of the US population may be deficient in vitamin D, so you have a good chance of it. That said, I agree that testing is good, either before or after supplementation. https://www.grassrootshealth.net/document&#
