I think the CDC numbers say that, at least nationwide, 6% of deaths list only Cov 19 as the cause of death. 94% list other causes. This data is so messy, I don't think there is much of a take away. Of the 6%, could there have been othe

Well, its a bit unfair to say that since Sweden didn't reap all of the benefits of protecting their economy, because of neighboring countries' following a different path, that something was wrong with Sweden's approach. If I

Exactly, there is no way ARM is worth 40 B to Invidia, unless they are going to use it to arm-twist their competition. Just look at ARMs annual net, multiply by 10, multiply that by 2 assuming starry-eyed optimism about you being better at

Interrupt latency is always well covered in device docs, and pretty easy to find. And, honest question, isn’t it basically determined by the architecture and clock speed? So for instance, an ARM Cortex 0+ at 40 MHz, same in every family?

At least the Cypress tools are freely available and well documented. I have built probably 7-10 products using the PSoC, the tools worked well, resulting firmware solid. Don’t know why you would use Cypress as your example?

But it would have to be some really serious “advancement opportunity” to make up for the 90 minutes of your life spent commuting every day, no?

Coding for many more than 15 years, use vim. Would never tell others to use it, its individual. For me, the speed, power, and omnipresence of it, makes it worth spending the time to master it. My workflow makes it important to be editing a

Wouldn't it be only expected that cases would rise as testing increases? The number of "cases" in fact stays the same, it is just that more of the cases are exposed with the increased testing?

So, an event that kills zero people could happen every 10-20 years, and another event that kills zero people could happen every 60-150 years? That is certainly alarming.

It is certainly not indisputable thar solar and wind are far cleaner than nuclear, if you include their externalities such as manufacturing and disposal. Nuclear is cleaner by far than coal or gas. It’s cleaner than solar or wind, though no

Well, the alternative we all face is ceding control to many various hidden, anonymous, and often malicious actors. Thereis a lot at risk: your privacy, avoidance of falsified information, your possessions. I am all for closing that off.

This is also how I think of it. Billions of years go by where you don’t exist, then you do, for a tiny slice of time, maybe 90 years, then more billions of years when you don’t exist.

People can do vitamin D monitoring at home. See above link to www.grassrootshealth.net. They will sell you 2 test kits for serum D3 for $50 (I think). You take the tests 6 months apart, and they send you the results each time, so you can te

There is a site with some data on supplementation's effect on serum D3 levels. Short version, they are effective. https://www.grassrootshealth.net

"spewing ... into the Pacific" actually dilutes it more than when it existed in ore in the first place. It had to be concentrated by orders of magnitude from ore, to make it radioactive enough to be fuel for a reactor. Before that

Kind of cherry-picked there from the set of things 60 is too old to start. What about having 30 more years to fix a wrong you once committed, repay a debt, help give some worthy person or cause a boost?

Well and K2 is involved in transporting calcium into bone. So it helps if you are worried about your D3 supplementation altering your blood calcium levels.

Thank you for posting this. K2 and Mg are important to include in a D3 supplementation plan. You could also just get more sun exposure. Aside from possible COVID benefits, serum D levels correlate well with many other positive outcomes. Doe

I take 5000 IU D3 a day, in a pill that combines 180 mcg of K2. K2 is important for calcium transport. My most recent tested level was 38 ng/ml. I'd like it to be above 40. I also make sure to get a lot of sun, because I think the

Just anecdote, but I probably mail about 100+ packages a year through USPS, about 40% to international addresses. Never had one fail to deliver. I always use USPS to ship, because it is reliable and the fees are reasonable. Also receive lot
