  • As always, to get approval for a drug, the potential side effects have to outweigh the benefits of the drug. From a purely logical and medical standpoint, there is no medical drawback for a man when the hormonal contraceptive fails and neither is there a medical benefit. If there are serious side effects, they have to outweigh the medical benefit and drawbacks, of which there are none, so that’s pretty hard.

    For women on the other hand, medically speaking pregnancy is a huge condition, sometimes dangerous, so there is a benefit and drawback if it doesn’t work and the drugs are approved despite having side effects.








  • I generally agree with your statement, just one thing to keep in mind: Mypy sucks for any library larger than a few thousand lines spread over a couple of files, but pyright is developed by M$ and might be part of their usual Embrace, extend, and extinguish strategy. The other two contenders are pytype (google) and pyre (facebook), so it’s not like there’s a good selection of independent, good and FOSS type checkers out there at the moment.

    Astral - the people behind the ruff linter - are currently developing ty, yet another static type checker for python, with a lot of promise, but it’s going to be a couple of months, maybe a year before it is in any shape to be used in production code.
