Sure but any HW engineer before writing HDL will always draw up a circuit before writing the description. And given that the patent was issued in 1996 it was only like 6-7 years after Verilog became an open standard.

Yes

I have been in Minneapolis for 6 months and that linked article was the only Amber alert we have gotten in 6 months.

So I am curious about the source of multiple Amber alerts

Very likely, the answer to your question may be close to a Yes

Yeah poor analogy here, you can choose to not go to Southern Africa, you cannot will for COVID to not infect you. Why should we not be eager for vaccines when they are available for such a highly infectious disease.

Flip the scenario, during the second wave in India, we were one of the few families in our neighborhood who were lucky that no family members caught COVID. All the local hospitals were filled, a large number of people we know survived but there were people who died around 4-5% of the people we knew who were infected and 40% who came very close to dying. The Delta variant arrived when a significant part of the elderly population had been vaccinated. You should recheck the your stats about the elderly, the second wave was brutal to under 40 folks as a good number of above 40 people had been vaccinated by the time the second wave hit.

Sure COVID might have a low fatality rate of 2-3% but 2-3% of a very huge population getting infected by a rapidly infectious disease is still a humungous number.

4.5 million after taking all precautions and overloading medical systems of countries. Think how large that number would have been if we had gone our lives normally. Would have made the 1918 pandemic look like a picnic.

Check out how things are in Israel or UK.

Sure tell that to the families of those who died from COVID19. Getting vaccinated is a much better way to get protection from COVID. I knew quite some folks who were hit by COVID twice, tell them that they were better off suffering through COVID twice instead of relying on the vaccine.

And relying on getting COVID to get immunity to COVID 19 is akin to playing Russian roulette.

Because what you know first hand of the disease is useless for others. My 54 year old uncle had COVID. He was just in the hospital for 5 days and came back no different from before COVID. My 29 year old friend spent 2 weeks ventilated in ICU and dying of multi organ failure

The symptoms of COVID 19 are not always flu like. It is a spectrum of symptoms which is not yet understood why it expresses in different bodies differently.

During the Second wave in India a lot of my friends and acquaintances got it and their symptoms were all over the place. Some had diarrhea like symptoms, some had no visible symptoms at all, some simply lost the ability to smell and became physically weak.

Knowing this information, trying to be safe from COVID by catching it is no less than playing Russian roulette and it makes choosing to take a vaccine no brainer.

Uh if parents did not share the same mother tongue in India, it is a very good possibilty that English is one of those three languages.

If in North India that is the common thread, not the case for rest of India.

In fairness Aziz can pass off as Chamath more easily than Kumail.

Aziz Ansari is of Tamil descent not Sri Lankan descent.
