Or, until the local health service is sufficient to manage the problem by itself. As you may recall, uncontrolled contagious diseases have a habit of escaping their local fish markets or virology labs.

USAIDS assistance for Zambia was 13 million USD, or about 0.12% of their government budget, or about 1.2% of their health budget. AIDS assistance comfortably fits in their government budget.

Let's face it. Trump made them choose to give or deny AIDS treatment to the poor, at a minimal cost to them. There were no real budgetary consequences to the Zambian government to do it. Relatively speaking it costs Zambians more than it would cost the US, but it's still not much, not to them either.


Why not? A fecal transplant seems to work for C. difficile sufferers.

A fecal transplant definitely doesn't work for celiac disease, which is the only gluten intolerance you have to worry about.

Other gluten intolerance is probably not gluten, gluten is just a close enough proxy. Could be FODMAP + IBS or maybe some other sensitivity.


Why are you narrowly focusing on gluten intolerance when this line of comments appears to be denying whether gut biome is worth caring about due to having impacts on health?

Because the parent used their anecdote of gluten intolerance to explain why caring about the gut microbiome matters. But traditional gluten intolerances are not related to the gut microbiome.

We also don't really understand why things like a FODMAP diet work. It's not that feeding your gut bacteria is bad, it's actually pretty good. But for some people it's bad, and they get symptoms they attribute to gluten intolerance.

Legumes, onions, whole grain etc that are high FODMAP are good for you. Fiber is good for you, it lowers your risk of metabolic diseases and helps your digestion. But, for some people, it's bad for their digestion. That's weird.

So all that is to say that, while gut bacteria matters, it varies person to person and we can't definitely say what food is good for the microbiome and what isn't.


I think the interesting point as evidenced by the fecal transplant therapy is that it's not "the" microbiome, it's "your" microbiome. Maybe some people have bad (C. difficile) or incompatible (various E. coli strains) microbiomes and need a microbiome hard reboot.

> Could be FODMAP + IBS or maybe some other sensitivity.

Seems extremely unlikely. Of someone is eliminating gluten they from their diet they usually aren't also eliminating dairy, legumes, and other high-fodmap foods; gluten-free is restrictive enough already.

The only other sensitivity I could think of in which this makes sense is wheat sensitivity (but not other gluten containing grains which are less common).


>no promising locations for more.

Isn't there a super volcano in the middle of the country? Maybe there are some adjacent hot spots outside of the national park?

Is US mouse movement different from European? Is it called sparkling mouse movement if it comes from California?


US mouse movements are obviously very vigilant, some people say they're the strongest mouse movements ever seen.

Since this is a serious website: I'd be genuinely curious how mouse velocity and trajectories differ between cultural and environmental settings (apart from hardware, that's boring and should be normalized).

There was a time when studies made headlines that were exactly about the relationship between mouse movement, typing etc, and psychiatric disorders as well as physical health.

Obviously, both are related.

If you ask me, Ad tech would probably be able to tell your denominated faith using this data, when there's enough of it...


Genuine question: would right to left language based interfaces have different type of movements and thus training data than left to right language ones?


Wasn't the eradication of wolves just the natural consequence of destroying the food source and way of life of the natives? Gotta get those people dead or moved if you're going to steal their land, amirite!


The average HN denizen has not grappled with the genocide of the natives in the United States.

Or in Palestine, for that matter.


The stupidest US foreign policy blunder... so far. Invading Cuba, invading Greenland and dropping out of NATO are all on deck, so let's not pick a winner just yet.


Because ship displacement is really hard to disguise? It's probably like trying to sneak your friend in to the movies under your overcoat.
