The current scientific evidence for ivermectin is far stronger than that for Hydroxychloroquine (not Hydrochloroquine) ever was. So instead of posting a dismissive, low-effort comment I would encourage you to actually read the linked studies.

By the way, there was another study published a few days ago indicating that Hydroxychloroquine might offer some limited benefit. The observational study was rather weak from an evidence-based medicine standpoint, but maybe it does work at least slightly. Research continues.

> Maybe, but solutions that go against human nature are doomed to fail in the first place.

I disagree on two fundamental points. Firstly, current levels of meat consumption, I'd argue, are very much not "human nature". It's more to do with advertisement, and cultural trends which are artificial. Secondly, I'd argue "human nature" has been _modified_ or _overcome_ plenty of times before.

In short-term thinking, yeah, finding a replacement is the straightforward solution. In the long term, the only certain and the most sustainable solution is to address the consumption problem.
I've seen many possible explanations mentioned. Most common seems to be that raising daughters is more stressful than raising sons (for various reasons) leading to more arguments etc. Most intriguing might be that sons conceived into tenuous marriages don't even make it out of the womb. I'll add one more: mother/daughter friction. I can't even count the number of families I've seen in which a mother feels betrayed when her daughter doesn't follow her example in everything, and lets those feelings show. I've seen the same with father/son, though less so perhaps because mothers tend to be more active parents. It would also be foolish to ignore the issue of daughters growing into their adult bodies and becoming sexually active right when many mothers are feeling insecure about their own attractiveness. We can argue about causes, but the effect is real.

When mothers and daughters fight, it always puts fathers in a difficult position. A dad who consistently sides the mother might get credit for being a good co-parent (usually not) but be alienated from their own child. A dad who consistently sides with the daughter is likely to lose all contact with either due to divorce. All this, regardless of who's right or wrong between the two. Again, a bit of this happens when fathers and sons are in conflict, but it doesn't seem quite as severe and has different potential outcomes because of how "family" court works.

That's just one possible factor, affecting some cases, but it seems worth mentioning along with all the others.
Agreed. This is a project I can get behind. Is there a donation page?
Conservative assumptions explanation: mothers might be less confident about being able to raise a boy well without a father than a girl without a father so they are less invested in the marriage if it's a girl, fathers tend to feel threatened by a female majority so they are also less invested in the marriage if it's a girl.

I feel kind of relieved that this explanation doesn't even survive the subheading "But the difference only emerges when the children are teenagers"
> The 1st amendment itself refers to "freedom of speech" so there is absolutely a principle that exists outside of the 1st amendment.

I wouldn't say "absolutely" [1], but yes. At the risk of being too direct: I think we both know this is obvious. Do you have a finer point to make?

> There is absolutely an argument to be made that the scope of the 1st is too narrow to protect freedom of speech in the US.

I wouldn't say "absolutely" [1], but I tend to agree. This does raise a follow-up question: To what degree do you think free speech should be protected in the US? How do you balance it against other principles?

All of this said, I still stand by my commentary above, including (a) the unimpressive quality of argumentation and communication on HN; (b) a lack of understanding of how 1A and free speech interrelate; and (c) people here are not hopeless; they have the intellectual ability to do better -- if they only put a bit more effort into what they put out into the world.

There has to be an Evo Psych explanation. I am not an evolutionary psychologist, wish @primalpoly or @sentientist were on HN for their take. An obvious (and obviously naive take), is that one of parents would initiate breakup in search of a son because having a son offers some evolutionary advantage. It happens around the girls hitting puberty because it now signals that their care taking period is over.
I'm wondering if men who have gone through this can suggest some of the ways in which having a sister changed how they interacted with their daughters or wives.

It isn't entirely clear from the brief mention in the article whether having had a sister changes how a man interacts with his wife or how he interacts with his daughter.
> Or, put in another way: If you're are 10% worried about that you get to do production deploys 10% faster

Correction: 10x faster, not 10%. The 60-minute deploy is shortened to 6 minutes, not 54 minutes. This is a significant difference in impact on a deployment workflow.

> we stick with the tools that does the best minification while being a bit slower

Correction: not 'a bit slower', _10 times_ slower, which is significant.
I believe quite a few browsers don't ship an xslt-capable engine anymore.
One thing I haven't quite understood is why Netflix even bothers to encrypt the video streams. It seems like a waste of effort, since Netflix isn't exactly serving content that would qualify as "secret". There's not even any porn on there, so it's not the biggest concern if someone were to find out what some people were watching. This data is being collected anyway via endpoint technologies like Samsung's Automated Content Recognition (ACR): https://www.samsung.com/us/business/samsungads/resources/tv-...

It seems like encrypting the video stream traffic at this kind of scale requires a substantial engineering effort and special hardware.

Encryption also means that shared downstream caches at ISPs can't do anything to reduce their bandwidth consumption. The only option is to contact Netflix and physically install one of their edge caching boxes.

Content tampering protection could be obtained by simply computing content hashes offline once, which the clients could verify.
Richard Hammond did a pop-science series about the weather and it talked about how dust from deserts can move very far. It's an interesting watch: https://youtu.be/DeYvP2A3QvU&t=8m20s

The dust particles bounce against one another and propel some of the particles higher and higher up into the atmosphere. Then the winds can carry them very far.
I'm afraid that is the 'effective crowd sentiment' in the USA and frankly, that's a lot of dead people.

I feel that many areas will try to 'rush back to business' once most 65+ are vaccinated and just won't care much beyond that.

I read all sorts of blogs/comments around various news publications, trying to 'get a pulse' and it's a little disturbing to read a lot of comments from people who seem to think that 1-2% of US population 'written off' is just fine from their perspective.
I wonder if part of the reason could be copyright. In the past if you thought that Beowulf, King Arthur, or Robin Hood should have ended different you were free to publish a version with your preferred ending. Today, our shared cultural stories are owned by corporations who get to decide who gets to tell them.

Technically it would be a failed marriage. That doesn't mean the people involved are themselves 'failures'.

Many enter marriages very optimistically and with a limited view of what it will become. People change, learn more about themselves and their partners, and kids are a powerful dynamic adding a lot of stress and needs. I don't think it's constructive to judge any divorce without having lived through that relationship first.

I agree with you that some generators are less mature. For example, we just added a Crystal client generator several weeks ago and we only have tests for posting a JSON body and getting it back to verify the result. Features like oneOf, anyOf are not yet supported (of course we welcome contributions to improve the Crystal client generator).

You can use customized templates (e.g. via -t option in the CLI) to meet your unique requirements. Another tips is to use
code formatter such as https://prettier.io/, eslint etc to format the auto-generated code based on the style you want.

Which is true, both in theory and practice.

At work I've only ever used various distributions of Linux, but at home I've started using OpenBSD and FreeBSD. I'm currently running FreeBSD 12 on my long in the tooth HP Microserver N54L, with a ZFS mirror + NFS/Samba serving up music/photos to my home network. It's been rock solid for the past few years, and I love in particular how 'boring' it is. It has great tech like ZFS but it's very predictable.
What if we could gamify rating news articles as truthful and unbiased? So take a NY Times article, you get points for everything you find that isn't 100% correct, whether it's a typo or a mischaracterization. You get more points for finding something in a mainstream publication, fewer points if it is fringe. More bonus points if you are the first to find an error. There are some obvious obstacles like bias being subjective and how do you prevent journalists from getting points from their own articles and how do you do moderation but I think these are solvable problems. Just a thought I had earlier today when I read your comment. I thought what you said was very insightful.

Actually DeepL seems to be the best of the bunch.
Here is another test:

DeepL: No.49, Di'anmen West Street, Xicheng District, Beijing

Watson: No. 49 Avenue West Main Street in Xicheng District, Beijing

Libre: 49th Anniversary Street, Westtown, Beijing

LineageOS ships with Google’s location services. Plus, Google has changed the way that third-party location services have to be installed in Android. Now, they have to be installed as a system app, not as a normal app. This requires knowledge of how to use the command line over ADB, and you also have to install some special files that allow your custom-installed location services to survive system upgrades.

So, I have Mozilla location services running on my LineageOS phone instead of Google’s, but only because I'm that tiny minority of nerds who knows how to do all that. Ordinary people might prefer to simply install MicroG’s fork of LineageOS, which avoids Google outright and provides third-party location services.

Vegetarian evangelism ignores the huge culture around food and meat eating... its not something that can be changed easily. This is underapreciated in all debates about vegetarianism. There are food cultures around the world that survive on primarily meat, where the animal is worshiped as sacred for its significance to the survival of the society. There are regions known for meat recipes that go way back throughout history. People arguing against eating meat ignore all of this. Food is nostalgia, food is heritage and tradition, food is culture.

Regardless of the basis for his comment, your claim as it being "for your own good", vs I dunno, the good of society is a gross misinterpretation.

> HN has even less. Wait a few hours and look at the offended virgins that will post angry replies saying the state is right and billionaires are evil in general, and this one in particular.

The state is right to prosecute violations of the law. The issue is that deferred prosecutions shouldn't be offered to anyone, instead of as yourself and parent imply, being offered to this guy. In this case the system worked, in the others, it needs to be adjusted.

Billionaires aren't evil although money and its distribution is a social contract, and redistribution is a natural part of fiscal policy. Billionaires built their largesse by leveraging systems and facilities of the state. Without the army, the roads, the legal system, they wouldn't have gotten far, and so they are required from time to time to chip back in.

Not a virgin though, so I'm not sure how this fits into your calculus.

Text based diagrams definitively have their advantages over wysiwyg editors. However, sometimes the layout of a diagram also tells a story and I find it hard to express that with available text based diagram solutions.

That's what I use draw.io aka diagrams.net for.
I made an extension that helps to create markdown-embeddable/versionable draw.io diagrams in vscode:
https://github.com/hediet/vscode-drawio
(there is also an IntelliJ extension)

I have to admit that I sometimes struggle with pixel perfect layouts though and rearranging nodes is time intensive.

However, most text based systems don't have a nice github integration and rely on manual export, which you can avoid when you diagram is not a plain text file but a rich diagram editor.

So is the animal industry in the USA, with ammonia-washed meat, wide-scale deployment of antibiotics (which has the knock-on effect of helping create antibiotic resistance), and the use of growth hormones in cattle to increase production.

It's a reasonable argument that government subsidies for farmers reduce prices for the consumer, but I don't think it's necessarily a correct assumption.

Subsidies help the local farmers to compete with farmers in low cost countries. Transportation costs are usually insignificant.
So without subsidies the consumer might pay the same price, but the store just ends up sourcing the product from a different country. However, having a significant amount of food production locally has obvious strategic benefits (and I don't mean just war, even a draught could create sufficient shortages)
This speaks to me as someone who's critical of many of the hit stories in our popular culture. In the last decade, I've often wondered why our relationship to the future has changed so much since the first days of Star Trek. The easy answer would be to cite all the impending ways the planet is doomed. However, living through the cold war felt, in many ways, more pressingly dire, and Star Trek happened at basically the same time as the cuban missile crisis.

In the context of this essay, our moral future is far less certain. The cold war had an old narrative to it, with easy villains. The world of today makes it more difficult to avoid the nuance. It can even explain why so many AAA game titles fall back to derivative, Tolkien-esque settings.

This has the ring of truth to me.
As a thorough non-expert, I don't take headlines in the style of The Register seriously, even if the article is in Nature.

Although, if it was really from The Register it probably would have said "boffins" rather than "humans".
Basically, across most developed countries, women attempt to commit suicide 3x more than men, but men complete suicide 3x more than women. So men are approximately 10x as likely to succeed when they do try.

This is a combination of male suicide attempts being underreported and gendered differences in suicide as a cry for help vs a desire to end it all. There's also a minor statistical effect where a single suicidal women will attempt suicide multiple times vs a single suicidal male attempting it once (so you get different numbers comparing suicide attempts by gender vs people who have attempted suicide by gender).
Encryption for DRM needs to happen only once per media, and then can be saved to storage and shared infinitely many times. So that's probably something else
