I don't necessarily believe ivermectin or molnupiravir to work (and I don't care, my family had covid and it wasn't anything special), but I can see that anything that is not a vaccine face opposition by traditional media, and I started to take a note whenever traditional media start talking crap about something.

I also don't think vaccines are a scam, but I do think they're mostly useless. Covid is not much more than the flu for the majority of people. I'm vaccinated because I wanted to travel with less hassle, but I didn't need it; I just needed the damn paper. At the same time I would have recommended my elderly parents to take vaccines (not that there was a need, as they became mandatory for their job, as they are doctors and treating covid patients amongst others).

Considering how much money there is in vaccines, how it's bound to turn into a yearly subscription model paid by taxpayer and the low mortality of covid, I don't think it's hard to see the scare tactics, years of lockdown as a way to milk more money.
you classify CNN in the same way The Economist is largely segmented?

I know they don’t subsidize standard development. But there is still cost for running an organization to manage and coordinate (and maybe translate) what is being standardized over hundreds of topics. Of the 40 million in total income, selling standard documents is 1/4 to 1/3 of their income. You don’t pay for the cost of electronic copies, but for running the organization.

Innocent until proven guilty is more of a criminal trials thing. Balance of probabilities applies for libel.

I'm not in the US, but suspect it is similar to the UK where reporters will use "alleged" if they're using the legal defence of "qualified privilege" - which allows them to repeat potentially libellous allegations without themselves being sued for libel. In the case of reporting on documents (especially those made public in legal filings) the documents themselves are subject to privilege, so the journalists don't need to use qualified privilege.

In a nearby city they replaced a 6-lane street with a tram line; those with handicaps get better public transport and nowadays all newly built public transportation is accessible. Public transport or bicycle is the way to move and there are still some roads for deliveries. If you want to park your car, you better have a garage or private parking space.

A lorry is also not strictly necessary if you have a Smart or a wheelbarrow. There is plenty of use cases that are only reasonable thanks to having a bike. I for example went to work by a combination of bike and public transport. Car alone would have been 1h, public transport and walking as well, but bike and public transport was 45 min. (Car and public transport did not work together for lack of parking) By your logic, the bike was unnecessary and that is true but beside the point for the sake of 2*15min a day.

Just because most people are doing something does not mean its sensible. Most people are also overweight, even though everyone knows that that is not healthy.

Well said. The question is whether or not a "traditional country" is willing to give people earning incomes online a better cost of living, a tax policy that suits them, access to housing they can afford, and some sort of path to permanent residency status or maybe even citizenship with a useful passport (as in there are not too many countries that require a troublesome visa process for that passport). The rest is just a hyped-up online community.

Note that without specific training and regular drilling, these are likely to not be especially useful. For communicating to the public a plausible-but-clear explanation, e.g., "police investigation" (usually code for suicide, possibly other death) is used especially in transportation systems. A "police investigation" on a transit line or bridge is frequently a suicide or attempt.

That's a cool idea! The closest thing today is probably neon-serde, a cool community library that lets you generate bindings from lightweight Rust annotations:

Local government has shut down a broader investigation by expert outsiders.

That isn't even possible in the most totalitarian of societies. Nothing is stopping locals from grabbing water and soil samples and sending it off to labs. This is quite common practice for people will wells and farms. The only difference is bothering to pay for the more expensive tests. They could do GoFundMe fund raisers to get the money. Maybe they find nothing exciting and can at least check that off the list of things to do. If they do find something, perhaps publishing the results in the local media would force the local government to step aside.

I will take this a step further and suggest that individual citizens can do tests that governments can not even do. Just as one example if one was so inclined, they could get a doctor to extract liver tissue samples from volunteers and get that analyzed for toxins. Most toxins will result in metabolites in the liver as it will try to neutralize anything toxic you consume. This test is super painful though, its a big needle. Nowhere near as painful as a chest tube. Testing could be done on those recently passed away as part of the autopsy obviously with the families permission. Why the liver? Because toxins in the serum will only remain for a short period of time. The liver will do whatever it can to filter those toxins. There is often evidence that remains in the liver for a very long time.

If that is too painful another option would be for the locals to pool money and hire private investigators to research all the people that were ever involved in the testing to determine if there is collusion, conflicts of interest with local companies or maybe even evidence of a cover-up. Maybe they find nothing.

I think the point is, we’ve been sold by Google and FB the idea internet advertising is “ads”, cookies and JavaScript, but it absolutely doesn’t depend on that. Publishers advertising products directly as part of content has never been a problem, it doesn’t depend on invasive technologies.

That was the oddest part of the selected tweet used by OP. There are dozens of great points from same source outlining all of the incredibly hinkey and downright illegal collusion between Google and Facebook, but the inclusion of Apple has no references and Microsoft is almost a random aside in the looooong sequence of tweets about the ad market fixing by the two main companies in this scheme.

I have a pretty similar background. I have an undergrad in ChemE who fell in love with machine learning research. As I didn’t had the appropriate background so I taught myself Computer science using mostly resources such as OCW and teachyourselfcs, videolectures etc.

However, what stood out to me was how difficult it is to self study? Universities provide a setting which helps you learn difficult subjects over a longer period of time. Outside of that, no such avenues exist. It’s not just reading up a book or making Anki flash cards(which is quite tedious to be honest) but the process of selecting, vetting what to read next and actually completing it. Or the question are we there yet, with no idea what “there” actually means.

I decided to work on creating a platform where people can actually learn difficult subjects on their own. It’s a bit different than normal video based platform, it actually uses text based conversation to facilitate learning. But I truly believe this is the way forward.

I have written comic based guide about this problem:

I didn't go through the raw dataset (which is generated by this query, https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring) but two obvious issues with the count are, it didn't filter out duplicates and it's just grep'ing the post for the word remote. So for example, "remote work not allowed," counts as a posting for remote work.

I have no doubt the demand for remote work is up but I am not sure this count accurately measures by how much, even for just hacker news postings.
AstraZeneca is a the largest company in the uk by market cap.

That's just one example, my point is that there is plenty of money in vaccines and our taxes are paying for them with no oversight on whether people actually need them or not. Sure, if you're vulnerable or if you don't want to get the flu, get the vaccine. For everyone else, that's just a waste of money.
I also consider covid mortality to be pretty low, I'd rather spend these resources to fight cardiovascular diseases or build self-driving cars to lower mortality there.

Vaccines are also dropping in efficiency pretty quickly as the virus mutates (as we've seen in Israel); if we'll need a new vaccine every 6 months, it's going go to be a beautiful business.

Also, we don't call them conspiracy theories anymore, after the "covid is not from wuhan" debacle - they're now called spoiler alert.

I would consider those other effects to be bias, controlled via some other mechanism like a study being double blind. For example, lab techs shouldn't even know whose sample they're testing, let alone that patient's treatment, whether they're involved in a study, or the expected outcome.

So I do agree these other effects exist, but I don't think they exist under the classification of placebo effect. It's possible one of these is at play in this study.

oh hell yes, finally I find the perfect place to start it up about ivermectin. It IS horse dewormer. That's a super accurate way to describe it. Just like tetracycline is cow fattener. Ivermectin is an antiparasitic agent given to humans and animals. We call it horse dewormer because we're making fun you. We're making fun of you because we're frustrated that you think a ivermectin will cure your virus, and you won't take the vaccine. Basically you're fucking with public health for no reason.

Ask HN: What data structure do I use for Lox AST in Rust?
I'm working through the excellent Crafting Interpreters book and learning Rust at the same time by writing the interpreter in the first part of the book in Rust. For anyone who hasn't read the book, you totally should!, you implement an interpreter for a made up dynamically typed language called Lox.

The scanner was relatively straightforward and now I'm having a hard time figuring out how I can implement a data structure to contain the AST for Lox. I'm pretty sure the core question is "How do I represent a tree of heterogeneous objects in Rust?"

In the book he uses polymorphism. There is a base class of Expression, with subclasses for each expression type.

At this point I think I'm holding Rust wrong and approaching the problem the wrong way. Potentially because I've used OOP for must of my life, with any functional-ish programming being pure functions, C#'s LINQ, and emulating concepts like free functions that act on data in C# or Java.

This is the specific part of the book where I'm having trouble. http://craftinginterpreters.com/representing-code.html#implementing-syntax-trees

I have the sense that I need to use a struct with an enum of expression type as the data field but I can't figure out to tie the data into it in a nice way. Is it as simple as having each variant of the enum contain the "complex" data structure that represents that expression kind?

Can someone poke or prod me in the right direction? I'm doing this for the sole purpose of learning so I don't necessarily want to be given the answer.
