I find that channel so relaxing. Even the busy intersections sound like pleasant background noise.

Normally I’d be complaining about how nobody read the article and all the comments are only about the title, but the connection between the first and second part of the article is so tenuous I really have no idea at this point…

It won’t just be from drug companies. There will be patient advocate groups as well. Not to mention politicians keen on bringing bad the “death panel” talking points.

This is the crux of the issue right? YAML is fine for most projects, but THE project for using YAML is CI configuration, for which it doesn’t match.

I don’t think this is nearly as easy a question to answer as the other replies suggest. Pfizer will be required to make the case for safety whenever they apply for approval. It is premature to discuss this without reviewing the actual evide

I also found the article a little hard to parse, but after a close read it seems that the 85% is the whole trial, and 89% is for people who got the drug within three days.

I think it’s hard to overstate what a big deal this is for science. This is a completely novel molecule that appears effective as an antiviral. This would a huge achievement for the field of drug design, and will hopefully lead to all kinds

> … findings are obviously not as compelling…, but it sounds like this issue is worthy of further investigation. That about sums up any article submitted to a garbage MDPI journal.

If you want to read the Old Testament as literature, Robert Alter’s translation is really good. I thought his notes (which are not about theology) really help you tap in to what the authors are doing.

As one more data point, I completely disagree with your interpretation, and don’t really have any doubts that serial_dev’s interpretation is correct

Of course by its very nature selling a kids record player in the age of streaming music is preying on the parents childhood memories.

Not directly related to the post, but I have seen theories online that suggest that Gram Parsons actually wrote Wild Horses (not just recorded it first). Or at least that he was heavily involved. Maybe there are some big Stones fans in here

I wish there was more discussion of pure tech solutions like this. If you could build a small satellite that broadcasts a radio signal with your website’s content, and stick it in space, maybe it would last. The question is does the tech ex

My understanding is that YouTube will even interpret a dislike as positive feedback. It’s all about engagement as you said.

Is there any actual precedent for the scheme they present here (basically preventively give these antibodies to people who can’t mount their own response every 6 months)? Do we already do this with other diseases?

There are so few sites out there where you can have a real discussion about “ anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity”. I recall posting on a space subreddit an article that talked about mining asteroids for water, and it

I don’t blame him for misinterpreting it though, Gallup basically made a trick question and then write an article about how stupid Americans were for getting it wrong.

Calling out a problem with Chinese research in general is fine. Asserting that an individual piece of research should be dismissed due to broader trends related to one’s race instead of evaluating it on its own merit is racist. And it’s eve

It drives me crazy how socially acceptable racism against Chinese people is on hacker news. In another thread I saw a top comment say about a paper “I won’t believe it until westerners reproduce it”. This despite several authors being based

Here in Japan you’ll literally see people alone in their cars with a mask. Maybe half the cars that pass have a masked driver. Obviously it makes no sense, but again if you need a mask where you’re coming from and going to, it just fades in

There’s maybe an amusing counter point from this study. Here they ran a trial with a highly at risk population (due to comorbidities) and reduced hospitalization by 50%. I guess it’s possible the drug is 100% effective and the hospitalizati
