the problem is quite simple: the virus infects your body, damages your lungs, and fucks up your immune system. Then you get an opportunistic pneumonia

The mechanism is also quite simple: administer them both together and the antimalarials kill the virus, the antibiotics kill the pneumonia.

Can We Please Block Covid BS Dang?
Covid is causing a fracture in the community at large with its very dubious, highly politicized, claims of infection, deaths, etc.

If you will not commit to blocking COVID related news than it is only prudent that HN be overwhelmed with anti-COVID news and subsequently anti-HN news.

C'mon - you know we are fucking hackers bro - don't make us fuck shit up.

This "news" is fucking over the US - we won't stand for this shit.

> Your response was "A candidate has to have a track record of success." People are pointing out that doesn't appear to be sufficient.

I didn't say it was sufficient. For example, if I say "an airplane has to have wings" would you argue that isn't all it needs? Of course not.

There's a reason that English has the words "all", "only", etc. For example, there's a difference between "people like hamburgers" and "all people like hamburgers." There's a difference between "choosy people choose cheese" and "only choosy people choose cheese." English is not a programming language.

I suggest interpreting my messages from a presumption that neither am I a moron nor are people who select executives.
yes, great point. But, the bill isn't due til you're ~65+. It takes patience to think "unhealthy eating is more expensive than it appears because present-value for old-age healthcare costs aren't included".
> The economy is a circular river system.

The economy is the collective action of people producing the goods and services that you and I consume - food, haircuts, medicine, video games. Money is a claim on some portion of that stuff that has been or will be produced. Redistributing money is not going to suddenly make us productive again when most people are only leaving their house once a week to stock up on groceries.
> Linked lists stink as a manifested in-memory data structure. However, if what your linked list is is "{concrete value} : {code to generate the rest of the list}" and you walk it once, never having the whole thing at once, it isn't necessarily bad. That is the point cryptonector is making. The memory inefficiency of a linked list doesn't matter if you never really have it "in memory".

Yes, exactly. A lazy list is just another term for generator. If you hold on to a reference to the head of such a list as you run the generator, then you'll consume a lot of memory and will end up with a strict list, and also you'll be sad. But if you don't hold on to that reference, then it will be very efficient.

> That said, the ready availability of linked lists in Haskell does mean that you end up with rather more strictly-manifested linked lists than you might like, since any of them can be manifested as actual linked lists. If you're using Haskell though, while you haven't exactly completely given up on that sort of performance, it must not be foremost on your mind.

Especially strings as lists of characters. That was a mistake. Well, in some sense, character data has to be a list, since with Unicode you really can't efficiently index a string... unless it's a rope and you apply the sorts of tools that xi does (e.g., keeping track of character counts per rope segment, etc.). But strings should be sufficiently opaque that arrays, lists, and ropes are all equally able to implement their semantics.
Better performance in what sense?

Does your car really need to be able to run a web-browser?

It definitely doesn’t, but maybe that is what people want?

Do electric cars with fragile entertainment systems get better mileage? Are they safer in an accident?

Humans do seem to be attracted to bright flashing lights, so perhaps a car running a web browser appeals to that particular defect in our make up.

"There is no evidence that" is a phrase that drives me nuts. What they mean is that there is not a randomized controlled double blind study that shows something. My favorite explanation of the problem with this is: "Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma related to gravitational challenge: systematic review of randomised controlled trials" [1]

We know that viruses can live on wood and paper. We know that many people touch currency, and transfer viruses to and from currency. We do not need a randomized controlled trial to know that this might present a risk, especially with one of the most virulent and deadly pathogens ever encountered.

Thank you for your kind words and good intentions.

But please note that there are good things in my life as well. The past decade or two have been pretty darn hard, but it's not all downside.

And because I have CF, I already do remote work and live like a germaphobe. So the pandemic is, so far, kind of an annoying inconvenience. And I'm trying to figure out how to provide solutions, such as:

If you are really sorry for what I have been through, then help me make all that suffering mean something. Help me get the word out and get some traction and make a difference.

Turn all those years of suffering into a learning opportunity for the world, not one more reason for everyone on the planet to hate me, treat me like I'm pathetic and generally ignore me and the things I have to say.

Make my pain make a positive difference in the world instead of just being a private burden.

Do you have a link or any kind of citation for your final statement, or was it just a cheap shot at Trump for saying he is hopeful about a medication?
Follow the article and read the summary, remdesivir was already trialed on a patient in Seattle: "The patient had visited Wuhan, returned to Seattle, began displaying symptoms, and was hospitalized on symptom day 3. By symptom day 8 X-ray showed clear lower respiratory tract viral pneumonia (diagnostic ‘ground glass’) and supplemental oxygen was started. Patient worsened, and intravenous antibiotics were started day 9. Patient worsened (proving viral pneumonia), so attending physicians consulted with FDA then had Gilead rush the experimental drug by air, with intravenous treatment starting day 10. Patient improved in 24 hours, was saved, and has since been discharged"

Importantly, "It did, however, show efficacy against SARS and MERS in vitro" So the drug is promising. Not saying it's a silver bullet but definitely promising.

That Trump says everything that pops into his mind, regardless of the implications or consequences?

Maybe the part where he burned spies that took us decades to get into the Kremlin in a moment of unthinking blurting. Or the part where he livetweeted a classified photo from a briefing (on his unsecure phone that he's not "allowed" to have, if he cared) that revealed classified satellite orbits and capabilites and had to be (arduously) scrubbed from the internet. Or the part where some people talked to him about the problems of mass shootings and he proposed "taking all the guns and worrying about the due process later". Or maybe the other 4 years too.

It's really not a radical thesis at this point. Guy has no filters whatsoever. Name your position, guy has blurted out a dozen unthinking things over the years. He just says whatever wanders across his mind. Whatever seems good at the moment.

Some of them can be retracted later. A lot can't. The damage is done. You can't put those drugs back on the shelves.

By the way, he didn't just say it was hopeful, he suggested it was approved. Which is where Dr Fauci had to step in.
And now it is in short supply because anyone who can write a script is.
It is everywhere. The 'pockets' you think you are seeing are an artifact of exponential growth. When infection rate doubles every 2.5 days, the incubation time is 5-14 days and it take 3-4 weeks to die the first 4 weeks look harmless. But by then it is already well out of control.
You don't have spare glasses?
In a more recent article Michael Nielsen and his co-author Andy Matuschak have adjusted their thinking somewhat: https://numinous.productions/ttft/

“One of us has previously asserted (Michael Nielsen, Augmenting Long-Term Memory (2018)) that in spaced-repetition memory systems, users need to make their own cards. The reasoning is informal: users often report dissatisfaction and poor results when working with cards made by others. The reason seems to be that making the cards is itself an important act of understanding, and helps with committing material to memory. When users work with cards made by others, they lose those benefits.

Quantum Country violates this principle, since users are not making the cards. This violation was a major concern when we began working on Quantum Country. However, preliminary user feedback suggests it has worked out adequately. A possible explanation is that, as noted above, making good cards is a difficult skill to master, and so what users lose by not making their own cards is made up by using what are likely to be much higher-quality cards than they could have made on their own. In future, it’s worth digging deeper into this issue, both to understand it beyond informal models, and to explore ways of getting the benefits of active card making.”
Ok, you can pay them money, but what are they going to BUY with that money? If people aren't working to produce things, there isn't going to be anything to buy with the money we pay people. That is how you get runaway inflation.

Sure for people who roast their own beans at home they will notice a difference, but would someone who drinks a regular cup of chain coffee like Starbucks be able to tell?

WHO director specifically mentioned in his briefing yesterday that 'Young people are not invincible and that data from many countries show number of cases below age <50 getting admitted to hospitals make up a significant proportion of patients'.[1]

It's not just fatalities, hospitalisation i.e. exhausting healthcare facilities is the primary concern with COVID-19.

There is no guarantee that young people wouldn't make up high mortality list in a poor country with high younger population, rich countries should get their acts together to stop that from happening in vulnerable countries.

[1]https://youtu.be/6BOKgSCPD4E?t=32
> If 1/5 of those cases require hospitalization eventually

They won't, they don't, and you have no basis for making that claim. I don't know what your agenda is here but it is entirely clear you have no desire to honestly engage regarding the facts. Certainly a complete misreading, at best, of data presented.

It clearly deals with the symptoms during the while life cycle of the disease.

This is a phrase said in the article by Marilyn Roberts, a microbiologist at the University of Washington School of Public Health.

Also by the US Centers for Disease Control: “It may be possible that a person can get Covid-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.”
