My first linux distro. I’m almost crying remembering the emotions of gcc a ircd server or eggdrop on it


Prevent Senior in Brazil, an health operator with mosts of its patients on risk groups (60+ yo) are using hydroxychloroquine on all its COVID-19 patients with tremendous success.

Right now I choose to believe on MD in front line rather then in Health Societies, FDA, WHO and those bureaucrats who let the virus spread all around due to its incompetence


Doctors and clinicians on front lines in NYC and greater NYC area say it's not helping at all, that they've by and large given up on using it.

So I could reply that right now I choose to believe these MDs and ARNPs on front lines rather than commenters on HN. But that's not helpful compared to research.

This one is a mess, and the tiny sampling of articles we have are not definitive.

// Disclaimer: Lived in Africa for a decade, took anti-malarials. These and others can be nasty for a lot of people, some folks have to hunt to find things that aren't worse than the occasional bout of malaria. In fact, while my family took them, I never found anything tolerable. Curiously, the rest of the family got malaria, I did not.


Cuomo just said he is confident about hidroxychloroquine as NYC may see a plateau soon


This is the confusing thing about hidroxychloroquine right now. Two people looking at the same data, one saying it’s helping and one saying it’s doing nothing.


Do you have a reference for this?


This local news article (in Portuguese) has quotes from Prevent Senior executives: https://www.diariodaregiao.com.br/_conteudo/2020/04/cidades/...

“Every patient showing symptoms and with CTs indicating the presence of Covid-19 are invited to join the protocol. We’ve discharged more than 200 patients”.


You can use Google Translate

Hospitals like Albert Einstein and Sirio Libanês are also using it but patients must sign a term and take full responsibility over any complications.


as we say on the internet, [citation needed]


Agreed, also Hydroxychloroquine cost only few cents per pill, its probably too hard to swallow for big labs that want to sell $$$$$ treatment instead ... Poor them ...


is it possible to someone to be charged by a prosecutor that NOT belongs to the same organization whose misbehavior he exposed? I understand that everyone in Brazil are charged by Ministerio Público.

What you are saying is: as Greenwald exposed supposed misbehaviour (are you a judge?) by some prosecutors them he can't be prosecuted anymore, which gives him immunity to commit all kind of crimes he wants to.

Unbelievable!!!


I don't mean the MPF. Also the answer to your question is yes.


no it's not.


If you are a software engineer just came to brazil and you will live as a king here. There more than 400,000 jobs opening related to computer science.

And I’m sure you will have access to universal health system and private ones.


I am not a sw engineer and cannot work consistently or enough to earn like a normal person. That's the entire problem. My health was ruined and my finances decimated. Since without social aid your health is required to work and buy a life that puts me in an unsurvivable situation.


last year we've started to cloud recording obstetric ultrasound videos. we add more than 17,000 ultrasound exams to our platform each month. It's probably the largest dataset in the world of obstetric ultrasounds videos (~ 300,000 exams). reading news like this makes me think about how we can explore our dataset using ML/AI and help produce better diagnosis. I have no idea how (We're not an AI company).

If someone here wants to start a project with AI on top of ultrasounds, I'm all in.

let me know at hn at angra.ltd and I can give more details


I'm not sure that data set will mean anything without human-drawn conclusions about the patient (diagnoses, abormalities, etc.)


Obstetric ultrasound is very standarized and easy to evaluate with Hadlock (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/000293...)

We, however, have access to the report too.


You absolutely can. Hitting you up now.


I think it was expected as they have more money
