Triclabendazole is only one effective treatment for fasciolisis. It's on the WHO list of essential medicines.

Unfortunately a prescription is needed where I live and that country does not have the diagnostic test.

More info [1] on two cases here where one woman had her gall bladder removed after being misdiagnosed cancer.

How did I treat it? I ordered the medicine for dogs, cats and took the leap of faith. Now that's probably considered incredibly stupid and reckless by some but I had 100% symptoms relief within 48hrs followed by some die off. I followed protocol and did a second round of medicine 6 weeks later.

This was during covid so I had no way to fly to a country that offered the diagnostic test.

If you can track down a copy of the IBM XT or AT technical reference manuals, you will find a complete listing of the BIOS. Not only is it a substantial piece of assembly code, but you might even learn a bit about how a PC starts up. Ok, maybe not the latest EFI ones.
>There is a case for a strong cross-platform messaging app, but RCS isn't it. And whatever it is, it needs to be at least as good as iMessage or iMessage people won't use it.

I think the case should be more for basic interoperability like the EU is doing. That's why iMessage is such a default on Apple's devices, basic interoperability with SMS. There would be a lot less people on iMessage if it was a separate app than SMS. Plenty of people would rather have a single app with good enough features, but can message everyone under the sun (SMS is not good enough). Similar to Pidgin and Trillian which had less features than using AIM or MSN Messenger directly back in the day.

You're leaving out the context. Trump said that at a G7 summit, and the intent was to convince other world leaders that NATO is pointless and should be abolished. There's a nugget of truth in his statement, but ultimately it was made to benefit Russian interests and his isolationist platform.
I'd argue that "short" is subjective, and comparing them to the average height of white men only, when the original claim wasn't that they were "short for white, American men" is a symptom of a culture which considers whiteness, maleness, and American-ness, the defaults, and is worth critical examination.

> Of course that doesn’t work with my iPhone. So I guess I need a second NFC yubikey that stays on my key chain in my pocket (which I don’t have since I don’t carry keys.). So then I have to remember to register both yubikeys. Then every time I have to login to GitHub or whatever on my phone I have to pull out my keychain (which I don’t have) and tap it on my phone.

That's why I use one of these rather than a yubikey: https://www.ftsafe.com/products/FIDO/NFC . I don't know why yubikey doesn't make a dual-method key when it's such an obviously nicer way to do things.

Regarding AWS, it's truly insane that they only support 1 device (breaking from the FIDO2 recommendation) but you can also put AWS behind SSO, and then have 2FA on the SSO.

On a moral level I think it's fair to give them a tax break on this, since they're effectively donating all future company profits to global society through the foundations.

There are McDonald's in rich places too.
Yes, this is one of the few areas that traffic lights excel. I’ve been stuck for 20-30 minutes at a small roundabout in Poland where two highways intersect in a rural area simply because of heavy traffic.

US could stand to gain massively by replacing about 90% of their intersections with roundabouts - but the remaining 10% could probably stay lights and everyone would win.
Crime in most of Chicagoland is somewhat higher than in recent previous years, and lower than it was when I moved back here in 2005.

That's certainly the case for McDonalds Corporate, which has its headquarters in the heavily-patrolled, maximally gentrified West Loop. Nobody who works in McDonalds HQ is worried about crime near their building.

Where crime in Chicago is a real problem is in the south and west sides of the city, where white people don't live. Those areas are playing out a slow motion mechanistic tragedy set in motion a century ago when they were redlined, sliced in half by the Dan Ryan, evacuated by white people, and disinvested. A map of Chicago violent crime is, roughly, a map of redlining.

The city can make no excuses for this. It's an ongoing human tragedy running at a scale that is hard to get your head around. At the same time, it's hard to take the CEO of McDonalds seriously, because the crime problem in Chicago is mostly segregated away from him and people like him (and me).
Ask HN: Better Voice Typing?
I currently use G-board for voice typing. Maybe it's sometimes good that it's flawed, because then you have 'plausible deniability': 'Oh i didn't actually say, that was Google misinterpreting my speech.'

But actually I'd like to at least have control over how good G-board / Google speech recognition is. I have an android phone and do a lot of voice typing.

I then have to recorrect a lot of stuff. I remember a couple years ago it was: better; faster; less errors.

Does anyone else have this experience? Any tips how to improve Google voice typing or another product that you feel is better?

I fail to see how in the age of Stable Diffusion, DALL-E2, GPT-3 we still have speech recondition almost like out of the 1960s IBM dictation devices.

I'm usually not one to slam the big G, but c'mon. I also noticed that it seems the quality of swipe recognition on G-board has gone down and it seems to not learn as well. Ugh.

I love using voice, but I hate the high error rate. My microphone is fine, thank you. As is my 4G connection.

Sure, it needs to be studied more. But it's not encouraging.
Thinking ahead, we’ve learned from projects like skyscrapers to engineer destructability into projects, and from abandoned infrastructure like windmills to require the builder to post bonds to pay for abatement and removal. Why aren’t we doing this in space?

We regulate the heck out of launches; why not require orbital devices to have a built in deorbit mechanism (or “move to a parking orbit mechanism” for non-LEO), and/or require posting a bond to pay for someone to go clean up your mess?
You write a lot about how much better iM is. In what way? What makes it better than WhatsApp (besides WA being Meta)? WA is the gold standard for messaging apps and Signal is playing catch up, qualitywise, over here (Germany).
Yeah, Consent-o-matic is what I've started to use after today's news. Didn't know it existed until a couple of hours ago. I'm just not convinced it'll be a huge improvement over using (pre Avast) I don't care about cookies. And I still think that saying "This was an extension for people who don’t care about privacy" is a pretty big overgeneralization.

You did pay for when you bought the smart TV. Some percentage of the price is there to deal with insurance for shoplifting or return or warranty fraud.

A few “delightful” features are:

1. When sharing multiple photos a carousel of photos is created instead of a boring boxy grid of photos.

2. You can paste stickers of your Memoji (Apple’s Bitmoji) onto text bubbles. All my friends have discovered that feature through me and they love it!

3. You can send balloons or confetti for “happy birthday” messages.

4. The latest and greatest hardware features always have tight, polished iMessage integration (on-device Siri driven replies, Dynamic Island UI bounciness etc)

5. The UI has a few nice touches like loopy loops for threaded conversations, fun animation when a message is deleted, super tight integration with Siri

> It's generally good to encode these decisions in law rather than hand police even more discretion.

Agreed. But this falls short--it's a hack based on budget stipulations that seems to have become all too common; it doesn't really change the status quo given current and long-standing official city policy regarding drugs, especially wrt recreational and medicinal drugs. I'm not even sure it's even enforceable. The DA's office is independent, and I don't think this would prevent a cop from pretextual application of drug laws, which have usually been in violation of city policies, anyhow, such as a marijuana charge that local papers made hay out of recently, but which actually occurred several years ago, was clearly pretextual and against rules (the cop was a rookie), and was never even prosecuted--not even sure it was an actual charge, may have just been listed as probable cause for a search or detainment.
Signal is still a walled garden. Officially you're not even allowed to use a third party client on it. Better to have something both open source and open network (and even decentralized) like Matrix.

It's also got a phone number matchmaking service for those who want it I believe, but for me it's a plus that it doesn't use the phone number as ID so you don't automatically have to share your number with everyone you chat with.
> Does start-up time matter? Who cares?

> being so grumbly about other people having fun & doing cool things

The downstream effect of people "doing cool things" (making insanely bloated crap) is that we often have to use it.

I don't understand this attitude that every claim and endeavor is immune from criticism as long as you can frame it as someone "having fun" (I'm sure these corporate software projects are super duper fun) or being experimental.
Probably because it was more sophisticated than a gift card.. There are some screenshots on Twitter from the hackers with all kinds of internal uber tools and admin panels, many on non-uber domains (like uber.<third-party>.com). With all the internal email lists that employees are on for different departments in these large companies, it's not unimaginable that they click a link that appears to be some malicious site in disguise of an uber property, and enter their credentials.

"ALSA" has two meanings - there is only one set of Linux kernel audio drivers, and they're all ALSA no matter what distro you use. I think you're talking about this meaning.

The other meaning of "ALSA" is libasound / asound.conf / dmix, the old userspace audio stack, which is deprecated since Pulseaudio except for a few holdout distros. ALSA had difficulty mixing multiple playback streams, let alone bitstreaming DTS. I think the GP is talking about this meaning.
I thought he was mostly saying the stores themselves are unsafe for workers and customers, and the perception of Chicago being dangerous makes people not want to work at corporate. Plus the never-ending tax increases and general denigration of private business from the Mayor (although common in many major cities) which pushed out many other corporate headquarters for Miami and Austin.

> “We have violent crime that’s happening in our restaurants … we’re seeing homelessness issues in our restaurants. We’re having drug overdoses that are happening in our restaurants,” he said. “So we see in our restaurants, every single day, what’s happening in society at large.”

> “It’s more difficult today for me to convince a promising McDonald’s executive to relocate to Chicago from one of our other offices than it was just a few years ago,” he said. “It’s more difficult for me to recruit a new employee to McDonald’s, to join us in Chicago than it was in the past.”

> And when it comes to returning to the office, he said, “one of the things that I hear from our employees [is] … ‘I’m not sure it’s safe to come downtown.’”

> Kempczinski pointed to several high-profile corporate departures from the city, including Boeing, Caterpilllar and Citadel, which all recently announced plans to relocate their headquarters. He said that mayors and governors from other cities and states have reached out to McDonald’s to consider doing the same.
Transaction time was arbitrarily set to allow time for a majority of parties on the Internet to verify transactions. It is a trade off of speed versus security. It was picked as a common denominator so that people on the opposite side of the globe and on slightly slower connections can participate in the verification process. That's why changing to PoS doesn't affect it.

Network capacity isn't affected because the amount of data exchanged is the same.

Gas prices isn't affected because gas price is only correlated with the transactions per second (which isn't changed as transaction time isn't changed) and demand and supply for transactions. When lots of people need to make transactions, demand goes up and price goes up. Vice versa. This is the same with other chains too.

Some chains intentionally lower the transaction time to increase throughput to achieve a lower gas fee, but the disadvantage is that only fast peers can verify the transactions fast enough which leads to centralization.

Explain why what is false? You're just making vague claims about anecdotal experiences. It seems unlikely, in general, that a security team would not support a Yubikey rollout. Even one that only cares about compliance would likely support it because it will make compliance easier - auditors care a lot about phishing and if you can say "OK, yeah, we had some users fail the phishing test again BUT our 2FA is phish-proof" that's an easier conversation.

I'm sure there are truly lazy and incompetent security teams out there but it makes no sense that they would be the majority or even particularly prevalent. Maybe you're just unlucky and ran into one, or maybe there were real reasons why a Yubikey rollout wouldn't work;

a) Who's going to ship the keys? Yubico provides services for that, will you use those? Pay for them?

b) Who's paying for this? Did your infra team ask the security team to pay for it? Who's paying for replacements and support?

c) Is this a high priority for the team vs other issues?

d) Do all of your vendors support Yubikeys or are you going to have to have a hybrid solution? What will migration from vendors configured for some other FMA solution to Yubikeys look like?

I support a rollout at any company, for the record, but these vague statements with the conclusion of "security people don't care" leave a lot to be desired.
Haven’t we clamped down on the little people enough?
It is highly problematic for a corporation that is ostensibly commited to social justice to weaponize disinformation like this. Almost all grassroots wealth redistribution actions end without violence. Physical harm is usually caused by those "fighting back" against giving up even a modicum of the fruits of their unearned privilege.
People are so brainwashed into thinking that money is the only thing that matters that they get suspicious when others behave as if it isn't.
These two positions seem a bit extreme.

1. Shut down McDonalds!
2. But then poor people will starve to death!

I imagine there’s a solution somewhere in the middle. Perhaps McDonalds is taxed higher, banned from advertising. Subsidies are pushed for healthier lifestyles in those neighbourhoods.

I haven't noticed anything outside the usual merger of spam lists that goes along with corporate consolidation. Don't bother with their "unsubscribe" links, which are just signals that they've found an active address. Just route their traffic directly to trash.
I'm flattered by your presumption. It, as well as numerous previous assessments of yours, seem quite poorly formed based on my own experience and knowledge.

I generally try to run adversarial assessment even on my own most cherished views or takes, as well as charitable interpretation of those of othsers. Both can lead to interesting places, much more so than the opposite strategies. More practices I recommend.

But when everyone keeps buying ""smart"" TVs and accepting the spyware, pretty soon they will start shipping with baked in 4G chips, and there will be no other option. Vote with your wallet by never buying a smart TV under any circumstance. They are cheaper than actual TVs because the data collected is so lucrative - buying one is implicitly supporting that slimy business model, even if you don't connect to WiFi.

Sure, basically we have a standard microservices architecture and sometimes the needs of the frontend team and backend teams aren't aligned. For example, searching UX or Pagination UX needs are classic examples where scalable apis use cursor pagination but frontend UX needs offset pagination. So in many cases frontend UIs make a huge number of api calls across a number of microservices to render a single view (classic graphql use case) and end up caching a view of the database in the browser to implement filtering.

So I’m looking for perspectives on building a backend for frontend team implementing some APIs specifically for frontends that does the work of stitching together backend api calls from many microservices.
At least a bad faith signal makes it easy to bail from the discussion. Seemingly-honest, good faith confusion is somehow worse due to the obligation to clarify.

What I'm aiming at is about what is shown by an image, not what is in an image.

Take for example the images for "A digital art picture of a robot child riding a llama with a bell on its tail through a desert", which Scott Alexander counts as a win.

The first image actually shows a merry llama, a robot, which is unmistakably a robot child, riding the llama and it's clearly a desert scene. If we forget for a moment about the missing bell, it's probably the best picture. But it is also very blunt in composition. I can't imagine why anybody should have made this image. Maybe, if somebody approached a designer, like, "See, we have this wooden toy cube and need an illustration for this face of the cube. What about a cute picture of a robot child riding a llama with a bell on its tail through a desert?" – But, at closer inspection, there's something sinister going on: it's rather the llama that is leading the robot child by a rein, not the other way round. – I mean, this is meant to be a cute toy! And where is the bell? We need to talk about that contract again…

The second image is undisclosed, so we can't really say anything about this.

The third image is rather special. The llama seems to be robotic as well, the robot, which is – again – clearly a child, seems to be not only riding the llama, but both appear somehow integrated into a single unit, which cumulates in the robot child's face screen. There is an eerie feeling about this image. The fact, that the bell seems to be attached to the rein as some kind of link between the llama and its rider doesn't exactly help. (There's also a conic extrusion at the back of the llama, but I'd rather interpret this as part of the llama, and it's not attached to its tail.) The composition in its flat side view produces a tension focusing towards the left side of the frame, on something, which is not shown, but apparently a vital part of the story. While I might notice the mountain in the background, I'd probably forget to write home about the scene being set in the desert. But I would note that we're missing context to understand this image and what may be shown by it.

The fourth image, finally, is clearly Star Wars, robot edition. However, no bell. ("A robot child riding a llama with a bell on its tail through a desert" – "Ah, you mean Star Wars!")

I'm not even sure which of these images Alexander did pick as a winner. And I would describe neither image by the prompt, nor would I dare to imagine that a human had chosen these exact means to show what is described in the prompt.

Having said that, thanks for the link to the DALL-E Mini paper!
