marcbarbosa commented on Ivermectin: Enigmatic wonder drug continues to exceed expectations (2017)   nature.com/articles/ja201... · Posted by u/Jimmc414

Note that Ivermectin is used to treat parasitic diseases. Covid-19 is a virus and so Ivermectin is not used to treat it and nor should it be used.

The article is mentioning the antiviral facet of ivermectin though. Acting against HIV, dengue and encephalitis for example. I'm very skeptical about this drug, but I'm not even close from being someone that knows this stuff.

Seems like everyone going on HN now. The site is so slow

HN uses Firebase, maybe that is the reason.

WHat a great story.

In 2008 I was consuming as much entrepenuriship content I could (while building my first company). For obvious reasons I ended up watching a Tony's presentation. He was sharing a lot of stories about Zappos and in the end he talked about their Culture Book (a book entirely written by Zappos employees, with no editing).

Immediately after watch it I sent an email directly for him (at the time a CEO of a company that would be sold to Amazon for 1.2B 8 months after) asking if I could have a digital version of the book since I was living in Brazil. For my complete surprise I received a response in less than 1 hour just asking for my address. One day after I received a physical copy of the book, signed by the very own Tony Hsieh. He even invited me to visit Zappos offices if I ever were in Las Vegas!

Today I woke up with this sad news. Definitely, a huge loss to the world. I'm sure you'll always be an inspiration to many.

Rest in peace Tony Hsieh, A big fan

It's odd (or funny) that in the explanatory video about a high advanced AI model for translations it has a misspelling: Portugese
