Good points. I ran some numbers and Brits pay more for their healthcare via higher taxes. It's not really free (unless you earn nothing, but the US also has plenty of charity care too). Canada is infamous for long wait times and stuff not being covered (such as dental).

>Wow so there was an ivermectin study with 44k people? Where is it?

Perhaps I should have spoken more precisely, but I don't get the impression you're trying to seriously consider whether ivermectin is useful.

Preemptively, if you're interested in picking apart why one RCT can't be compared in any way to a collection of studies, only some of which are RCTs, I'm not.

> But what's going on is that people are looking for an ALTERNATIVE to the vaccine

*some people

You're effectively strawmanning, and choosing not to engage with the actual doctors who don't advocate this. Which is practically all of the ones I can find. But by all means, please link me all of the doctors stating we should use ivermectin as an alternative. I'll bet I can link a lot more that aren't.

The website I linked above even explicitly states this in bold, on the front page.

>which is detrimental when the vaccine is proven to be our best tactic against death/serious illness.

The trial you're citing seems to indicate there was no observed effect on mortality.
The problem with the 10% is that it conflates households who barely get by, who make 100-200k per year with others who make way more than that. 100-200k in SV or say NY is really not that much, definitely not enough to be considered wealthy.

Show HN: Felingua – Language practice by writing pages and reviewing flashcards
I don’t think “creepy weirdo” is meaningless. It may not be precisely defined, but that applies to lots of things that are still meaningful. At the very least “creepy weirdo” connotes something entirely different from “genuinely pleasant dude”.

It’s also not fair to say that I used it to designate someone who is “just different”. I suspect many folks would call me pretty different, but no one has ever to my knowledge called me a creepy weirdo-slash-asshole because I don’t do creepy assholish things.

Finally … “autist”, really? Being on the autism spectrum does not excuse any and all behavior. There’s a social uphill battle for some folks with autism, yes, but uphill battles are a fact of life.

Multiprocess is quite easy, have you tried aio_multiprocess?
Yes, it cost more in bandwidth, CDN has to cache file on actual disks, the more used, the more you need

It cost more electricity to download, and users has to store file too, it causes bloat, and then system bloat if you also have to install it

So yes, file size, performance, bandwidth optimization, everything matter, EVEN MORE IN TODAY DAY AND AGE!

Creator here. As I’m currently learning Spanish, I started reading the Harry Potter books out loud to my partner (a native speaker) a while ago to get exposed to new vocabulary and practice my pronunciation. From this, I then wanted to review those new words as flashcards, and I also discovered I enjoy writing brief summaries afterwards to practice actively producing content without the time pressure I might have when speaking.
I built Felingua to help me with that, with the current main features being:

1. Write pages in the language you’re learning and look up translations without having to switch context
2. Get feedback on your writing automatically with suggestions on grammar and spelling and ask a person you know to correct it
3. Create cards both from corrected text and translations and review them with spaced repetition to learn from your mistakes and expand your vocabulary

Honestly openSCAD is pretty cool but you quickly run into limitations because of it's DSL. One major reason I don't like it is that it uses mesh-based modeling and not boundary representation. With the former you can never get a "perfectly" smooth sphere for example. Most CNC shops require the latter. So a few years back I moved to CadQuery[1]. CadQuery uses boundary representation and uses Python as it's host language. This essentially makes it superior in almost every way to openSCAD.

"Low out of pocket costs" will depend on a several things: your premium, deductible, co-insurance, out of pocket max and whether or not you are in or out of network. All of these numbers and scenarios are going to be different from person to person. For folks living paycheck to paycheck (or slightly above), a $500 medical bill can be devastating. Furthermore, access to care also depends are where you live. If you happen to live in a more rural area, you won't have the same access as someone in a major metro area. [1]

I've not looked for a new edition of the report but the CBO has put out reports that calculates net tax rates and more than half of the country are not federal net tax payers (this includes all federal taxes.) And more than 40% of them are so much not net payers that it offsets their entire non-federal tax burden. Ultimately a very large portion of Americans don't pay for any of government and government spending and services.

There's a $10k deduction for state taxes. If the state tax rate is greater than the federal rate, then they won't pay federal income tax. Also, federal income tax doesn't include payroll taxes. Indeed, the last paragraph mentions this:

> Federal income taxes do not include payroll taxes. The Tax Policy Center estimates that only 20% of households paid neither federal income taxes nor payroll taxes. And “nearly everyone” paid some other form of taxes, including state and local sales taxes, excise taxes, property taxes and state income taxes, according to the report.

Nice cherry-picked, but meaningless, statistic you've got there.

This might sound really bizarre, but computers are a way of life in our family. We always had computers around us while growing up. At one point in time, we ran a small PC repair business out of our home. At another point in time, we even three 48U server racks in our living room which was hosting the infrastructure for our dad's new business/startup (hardware all being maintained by our oldest brother). We were told not to walk in front of the 48U racks because our parents were afraid they might fall over and crush us. :)

I would only be concerned to hear if Stephen was _not_ spending his free time programming something. That has been his hobby and passion since we were much, much, younger.

As for how I _personally_ feel about 100hours/week programming: it's definitely not something I could do. I work a typical 8-9 hours/day doing minor software development, and I feel a bit mentally drained afterwards. With that said, programming is not really my hobby. After my typical work day, I spend another 4-5 hours reverse engineering software because that is what I find fun.

I'm glad that Stephen found a career doing what he loves, and is able to continue doing it as a hobby outside of his working hours.

As an aside, I also asked our Mom your question (just for the fun of it). She wasn't quite sure what I was asking exactly, but said: "He's self-taught, self-made, and I'm proud as hell of him". Hahaha.

Overall, If he's happy, we're happy for him. I'm not sure what other opinion we could even have?

Two quick comments: trying to take generic drugs and lock up their rights to jack prices relies on a govt giving the locked rights. Otherwise somebody else can just make it. There’s little profit in generic drugs, so production can be spotty.

For those comparing vs the us health system, include (a) working f/t with good employer benefits, (b) f/t with less benefits and (c) working part time. And remember to include cobra. And include the state/province/country where the comparison is being done. No absolutes here, either.
That is quite incorrect. Marx understands the act of production as an act that allows you to interrogate your own existence, and its relation to the existence of others - how you fit in to their lives, and in the shared experience that you have with those that use your production. Straight from the horse's mouth :

>Let us suppose that we had carried out production as human beings. Each of us would have, in two ways, affirmed himself, and the other person. (i) In my production I would have objectified my individuality, its specific character, and, therefore, enjoyed not only an individual manifestation of my life during the activity, but also, when looking at the object, I would have the individual pleasure of knowing my personality to be objective, visible to the senses, and, hence, a power beyond all doubt. (ii) In your enjoyment, or use, of my product I would have the direct enjoyment both of being conscious of having satisfied a human need by my work, that is, of having objectified man's essential nature, and of having thus created an object corresponding to the need of another man's essential nature ... Our products would be so many mirrors in which we saw reflected our essential nature.

Marx, "Comment on James Mill", 1844.

Here we can see that there is an explicit social dimension to alienation - it is far from the "totally materialistic anthropology" you attribute.

Indeed Marx recongizes a purely material dimension from alienation, but in his texts this is only a small part of it - he explicitly identifies the purely material alienation as causing the alienation from the act of production, the alienation from the act of production causing alienation from one's own essence (Marx understands working for the benefit of others as being part of the human essence, insofar as helping a friend, working for mutual survival, that helps situate the social circumstance in the act of actually doing something, so the act of producing for wages instead of production to help someone, to help oneself or for expression as inherently against the essence of humanity) , and finally this process in the reverse causing alienation from the community.
I expect you're being downvoted because agricultural irrigation is the primary use of water, not residential water use. Residential water use makes up a relatively paltry fraction of total use compared to agricultural.

It sucks that this happened but in all honesty this is why I can't take anything "crypto currency" seriously yet, because the field absolutely refuses to accept that mistakes happen.

Every developer will push some private key to a repo at some point in their career. It's not fun, and in every other case, you roll the keys, ensure nothing got compromised or moved (and almost everything is reversible), and move on.

But in the crypto-currency world, you make *one mistake* and you are done. There's no recourse, no getting your money and/or assets back.

And until this gaping hole is fixed, "crypto currencies" will never go mainstream.
98k transactions in the last 24h doesn't sound like a cold wallet. Maybe hot wallet maintenance though, it looks like it's mostly dispursing to addresses that look like small user addresses (e.g. ~20 txns hold a couple different tokens, just transfer them around)
Perhaps you find this unpleasant, but the reality is that my government is able to dictate terms to pharmacorps such that we do not have to "pay for drugs like this". The whole point is that the exorbitant costs are not the true costs, they're just what you'll get charged unless you stand together.

This weekend I kayaked on Lake Mead near Las Vegas. The water levels are also super low. When you look at the lines where the water levels used to be it’s unbelievable how much it has shrunk. Unless something fundamentally changes the West is in serious trouble between droughts and fires.

I wonder if there will be massive infrastructure projects to pump water from areas with abundant water. If that’s even possible. Pretty much similar to the way Hoover Dam was built to make living out in the desert feasible.

Michal is a seasoned AAA dev who has worked at AMD, Frostbite, EA DICE, Intel - I'm sure he knows exactly what tradeoffs he's making.

Different folks have different goals, and that's OK. My goal with WebGPU is to aim for a future where we have truly cross-platform graphics. I suspect your goal is similar.

But I don't think it's wrong to aim for the present, to use an API you're familiar with, or to want to get as low-level as you can get. That's pretty admirable, honestly, and I'm happy people are doing that in the Zig ecosystem.

Heck, maybe one day Michal's work with DirectX here leads to a DirectX backend for a Zig WebGPU implementation. :)

Honestly? I don't know, and if pressed I'd have a hard time coming up with a usefully specific answer, but I still believe what I do; that not everyone should be forcibly allowed to participate.

Maybe that's helpful? I do think there are marginalized groups and that should be accounted for (ideally, in my limited understanding of the problem, by raising those groups up), but I don't think "baseline" should be, "Everyone is equally involved in steering the US economy."

Reexecuting it all is the simplest strategy if you don't need to undo often or the performance is acceptable anyway.

But in general, every command would generate an "undo record" with information to undo it.

In case of the brightness/contrast change you can do that by undoing in the naive way and then storing the difference between the "naively undone" image and the origignal version, compressed, in the undo record.

In general the undo record will only be large if you lose a lot of information, and then there won't be as much information left to lose and thus the next undo records won't be able to be so large, so overall the total size of the compressed current image and undo record will amortize and be in the range of the size of the original image plus the command description.

For example, once you turn the image fully grey, then all per-pixel transformations will be either be reversible or the undo record will compress to the effect on one pixel since it's the same for all the image.

This doesn't hold however if you also have operations that create information (e.g. something that draws a pseudorandom image with you then adjust contrast on, resulting in a pseudorandom undo record that you can't compress with standard techniques): in that case I think reexecuting the command history is the only space-efficient solution that doesn't require coding for the specific application.

The GHz aspect of Moore's law died over a decade ago, and I suppose it's fair to say most other stuff has also slowed down, but if you've got a job that is embarrassingly parallel, which a lot of these "big data" jobs are, people badly underestimate how much progress there has been in the server space even so in the last 10 years if they're not paying attention. What was "big data" in 2011 can easily be "spin up a single 32-core instance with 1TB RAM for a couple of hours" in 2021. Even beyond the "big data" that my laptop comfortably handles.

I'm slowly wandering into a data science role lately, and I've been dealing with teams who are all kinds of concerned about whether or not we can handle the sheer, overwhelming volume of their (summary) data. "Well, let's see, how much data are we talking about?" "Oh, gosh, we could generate 200 or 300 megabytes a day." (Of uncompressed JSON.) Well, you know, if I have to bust out a second Raspberry Pi I'll be sure to charge it to your team.

The funny thing is that some of these teams have the experience that they ought to know better. They are legitimately running cloud services with dozens of large nodes continually running at high utilization and chewing through gigabytes of whatever per second. In their own worlds they would absolutely know that a couple hundred megabytes is nothing. They'll often have known places in their stack where they burn through a few hundred megabytes in internal API calls or something unnecessarily, and it will barely rise to the level of a P3 bug, quite legitimately so. But when they start thinking in terms of (someone else's) databases it's like they haven't updated their sense of size since 2005.
Kind of? They pay less than say Blue Cross Blue Shield for the same procedure. Many doctors literally limit their medicare patients, i.e. "No more than 20% of my patients can be on medicare"... because doctors like making money too.
