From Wikipedia: "Since penile and anal cancers are much less common than cervical cancer, HPV vaccination of young men is likely to be much less cost-effective than for young women. From a public health point of view, vaccinating men as well as women decreases the virus pool within the population, but is only cost-effective if the uptake in the female population is extremely low. In the United States, the cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) is greater than US$100,000 for vaccinating the male population, compared to the less than US$50,000 for vaccinating the female population. This assumes a 75% vaccination rate."
A QALY of less than US$50 000 is generally used as the cut-off for the economic argument for carrying out a health program.
$130 per dose in the US (in 2013) according to Wikipedia.
The article further states, "In the United States, the cost per quality-adjusted life year is greater than US$100,000 for vaccinating the male population, compared to the less than US$50,000 for vaccinating the female population. This assumes a 75% vaccination rate."
Initially it was given to only girls for free because of a bit of cost/benefit analysis. Following exposure, HPV causes cervical cancer at a higher rate than it causes penile cancer. Other cancers caused by HPV are even lower down on the list. The assumption was if you can knock it out in females then that will have a largely dampening effect on the already very small numbers of male cancers. The ideal was always known to be vaccinating boys, but someone has to pay for this.
Anyway, the argument is now moot here, since - as others have pointed out - it is freely available to boys now, too.

When debating was offered at school to our grade 5 and 6 kids, we jumped at the chance to shove them in at the deep end. They were nervous and unsure of themselves, but we persisted. We helped them with the debates, we practiced with them. Now in high school, they are both confident public speakers and are able to structure their own debating material. It's easy to spot the newbies from other schools.
Everyone needs to develop a few callouses before hitting the big world. Perhaps the parents of anxious children need to work on this at home.
A TED talk on Impostor Syndrome popped up in my Facebook feed this morning. Must be the flavour of the month. Or perhaps Facebook's algorithms are making some assumptions about me...
The distributorship sent me a survey after a service, and when I didn't give a 10 rating (I gave 8 or 9, reasoning that no-one is perfect), the next question was "what could we have done better?". I figured that since there was really nothing they could have done better, I went back and changed it to a 10. We gave them the car, they serviced it in the time they said they would, job done.
"Despite advances in [AI], this is something that even the most advanced machine-learning algorithms still struggle with today." If AI can't deal with this, what does the "i" stand for, because "intelligence" ain't it.
I think it's whether or not they voted, not who they voted for. I live in a country where voting is compulsory (or at least getting your name checked off the voter roll while you collect a Democracy Sausage is compulsory) and I assume that nearly everyone votes, so that "voting history" thing threw me too.

Yeah, but as soon as someone speaking to a group is recognised as an expert, next thing you know they'll be asking for a lectern and AV support.
