Readit NewsA better quick test is all-cause mortality, which shows higher death rates in colder months. (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/68/wr/mm6826a5.htm) It's not ideal, because you'd need to measure the entire lifespan of people exposed to hpt climates, compared to those not.
I live in California's central valley, where typical heat waves are well over 100 °F, usually passing 110 °F a few times a year. The lifespan here isn't any shorter than in the colder counties, and the counties with the longest life expectency are pretty mixed between hot and cold.

I'm going to guess it's a Japanese rice cooker, because "micom" is a Japanese shortening of "microcomputer", which is what they've been calling microcontrollers. Using it for marketing most certainly dates from the time when computerised control was considered a desirable novel feature, much like when "solid state" was used in English.
Japan loves to give words back to English though, with cosplay, anime, emoticon, and now micom all originally being from English, then used in Japanese, and brought back to English from their Japanese form.
Signal extraction technology has been used in pulse oximiters since the 90's, and the patents that covered their innovation have long expired, with new patents covering descriptions of using the old technology with modern devices, which is innevitable, not innovative.
For example, how many things does "link" mean? "Process"? "Type"? "Local"? It makes people (e.g., non-technical people) think that they understand what I mean when I talk about these things but sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Sometimes we use it in a colloquial sense, but sometimes we'd like to use it in a strict technical sense. Sometimes we can invent a new, precise term like "hyperlink" or "codec" but as often as not it fails to gain traction ("hyperlink" is outdated).
That's one reason we get a lot of acronyms, too. They're too unconversational but they can at least signal we're talking about something specific and rigorous rather than loose.
If yes, I'll try it out.
I primarily use Pale Moon, and CloudFlare blocks me from a bunch of websites, because I don't provide enough tracking data to convince them I'm not a bot.
