Definitely! I had a bike in both Austin and Seattle. I used it for commuting to/from work a few times a week and sometimes for picking up groceries. It just doesn't replace a car for me though, but it is an enjoyable addition (I didn't always live close to work, the climbing gyms I frequented were far from my home and office, my friends were spread out, and I like to go out hiking on weekends).
>"anti-vaxers contacting infants who are too young to receive immunizations"

If the infant is too young to receive immunization that means they are protected by maternal antibodies, so there's nothing to worry about. The real problem you are thinking of is that the age of many vaccinations need to be moved up since maternal antibodies from vaccinated mothers wane quicker.
It's not a high priority because the correct diet (raw fruits and some veggies) will lead to a huge reduction in so-called "auto-immune diseases", diabetes, cancers, all IBS related, etc. Big Pharma and all others involved in the machine called modern medicine will suffer financially.

Question: What if a US company puts up a clickthrough agreement on their site that reads

"It looks like you're accessing this site from the EU. This site is not compliant with EU law and cannot be accessed from within the EU. If this is an error and you do not reside within the EU, please read the following:

... very long legalese about claiming that you are definitely not an EU citizen and the EU-seeming IP address is in fact a VPN or proxy, so you are definitely not subject to EU law. In case this agreement is signed fraudulently, damages will be ascertained by $US_STATE court (wherever company HQ is) ...

[ ] I agree, under penalty of perjury, that the above applies to me. In the case that this agreement is signed fraudulently, I agree to pay the damages awarded by $US_STATE court and waive my right to sue within the US."

Can this company continue doing business as usual, given that any EU user who tries to invoke GDPR will subsequently be fined and potentially deported to the US for hearing?
Any country that pretend to develop and keep some independence need to prioritize a minimum of food production. That's a strategic need. Europe is a good example of that, where food production is strongly protected. I bet is the same in the States.

The point of the original post is that those "independent actors" are not "independents", not from Ethiopia.

You may have misunderstood his rationale. The OP article suggests that kids need to have early infections and less clean environments in the first year, as later dirtiness can trigger a mutation that incurs leukemia. The parent comment says: well, if you have an older sibling, you should be more likely to be exposed to dirty stuff, since they're in/out of the house, picking up dirt, kissing dogs, getting sick from daycare, etc.

> It's interesting that drug deaths can so easily lead us into a moral panic in a way that obesity deaths do not.

Because the obese likely are net contributors[0][1]. They work for their most productive period, and often die "young" which just so happens to be right before they enter retirement.

If you look at total cost over a lifetime a "healthy" person is far more expensive than an obese one because so much of the healthcare cost is back-loaded into older ages (drug costs, hip replacements, alzheimer's, additional cancers, heart surgeries, etc).

And while the last few years of an obese individual's life is expensive too, we're talking about tens of years of similar level care for a "healthy" older person.

Not to mention that most pension systems are substantially under-funded for current life expectancy. The obesity epidemic might save the pension system from complete collapse.

None of these are moral arguments. I'm not going to defend obesity. But it is worth considering that if the "epidemic" continues the results likely won't worsen healthcare or pensions, but may in fact reduce total costs.

Obesity is so astonishingly bad that it's insane everyone just glosses over it. All homicides, suicides, and drug overdoses in the US combined have nothing on obesity.[1][2]

Somehow, there's no getting people to understand the scope of it. They'd rather attack the healthcare system and its costs, which are easily explained by use[3], than do some serious national soul searching on obesity.

I don't think this is true at all. Compliance in large organisations will be harder than small ones – small organisations should already be fairly well aware of where their data is, and how to handle it. Larger organisations tend to have mountains of uncontrolled user data which nobody is in charge of.

>Advertising is brain manipulation, nothing more. It's unreservedly evil and harmful.

I'm no fan of advertising (canceled cable decades ago, happily use Ad Blocker, etc). But these sweeping statements do not sit well with me.

Any time I try to persuade someone to do something, I am engaged in brain manipulation. As someone who in the last few years decided to take up subjects like negotiation and communications, most effective communication is brain manipulation - and not in a way that is significantly different from advertising. As the GP said - once you learn these topics, you begin to see it everywhere - in all the ways people talk.

For most of my life, I tried to convince people with purely objective means, and for the most part, it was a failure. If you want to achieve good for most people, brain manipulation is not just a nice-to-have - it is a must.

So declaring it to be brain manipulation is not, in my mind, a negative. It is unfortunate, but not unreservedly evil. Certain applications of it are evil. But banning advertising wholesale is just a lazy way of not dealing with the problem.
You've really got me on an emotional rollercoaster here. :D

I can't stand what ubers and lyft do to congestion. The drivers have no incentive to stop in marked areas or even pull over to the side when picking up/dropping off. Most of our busier two-lane streets are now 1-lane congested behemoths thanks to ride "sharing". It does get me on the bike more though. There aren't enough cops to enforce or care about the problem, and unlike some European countries, the culture in the US around citizens reporting traffic violations is nearly non-existent, so everyone gets away with it.
It seems to me that the problem is that open markets (capitalism is too general for this I think) is sold like the perfect panacea that will solve all the problems, even if the evidence is against it.

I would like to know how this will affect Microsoft.

I run a Pi-Hole [0] to redirect all advertising-related queries to a black hole. When tracking the most-blocked domains, Microsoft is at the very top [1].

For instance, when I enter "Office" into the start menu, Microsoft immediately sends a ping to bing.com and Microsoft's telemetry servers. That is, Microsoft is sending all of the data entered into the start menu to Microsoft's servers, even when using the 'Pro' version and with 'full' telemtry off.

When it was first detected that Microsoft was adding telemetry calls to all compiled programs in Windows [2], Microsoft said it was mostly for event debugging for programmers. Now I'm not so sure -- look at your Microsoft account privacy settings to see that Microsoft tracks when you open applications. (They say on the page that not all data is shown there).

Unforutnately, there is no way to opt out of this. You can "disable" full telemetry, but you still have to opt into "Basic" telemetry, which still sends your advertiser ID, the programs you run, and the queries you put into the start menu. I'm concerned that Microsoft is not going to stop here. They have a real incentive to capture as much data about you as they can -- they currently earn about $1 billion in advertising through Bing.com search queries. Unlike Google or especially Facebook, however, it's much more difficult to opt out of Microsoft's tracking -- so many people depend on Microsoft Office or other Windows programs that I can't fully switch to Linux.

I don't know how this is acceptable through GDPR. There are so many problems with what Microsoft is doing:

1. There is no way to opt out of telemetry

2. There is no way to see all of the data that Microsoft has collected

3. Microsoft has severe lock-in because so much software is written for Windows-only

4. Microsoft has an incentive to increase their telemetry, not decrease it.

Abstract: Monopsony refers to the market power that employers wield in labour markets. This column explores monopsony power in online labour markets, using observational and experimental data from Amazon’s Mechanical Turk platform. Both datasets suggest an employer labour supply elasticity of close to 0.1, suggesting that a 10% reduction in wages would only see a 1% drop in willing labour. This points to substantial employer market power in a supposedly frictionless setting.

> Social sign up focuses on delegating authentication to social websites

So, don't ask for passwords, ask for another site so that it asks the user for the password.
Are these scammy tactics a surprise? They shouldn't be. Sites like match.com and pof.com employ them effectively also, perhaps even more effectively because the scams are hidden in a network with actual human actions as well. They will cause a whole bunch of fake activity for new profiles that mimics real interest. Only when one clicks on the messages or winks or whatever, there are bugs and the profiles don't load or other such nonsense. I have a hard time believing that just the profiles that recently interacted with me are the only buggy ones that aren't loading on the whole site. As far as I can tell, the entire dating site industry is mainly a scam that supports a small amount of actual human interaction at the expense of millions of users, often using shoddy programming as cover for the scam.

I didn't miss your point by much, I just didn't mention it because I didn't know how to express any better that a lack of respect is often symptomatic for a lack of insight; because in this case, a juvenile gray hat hacker spirit was at work to gain insight, even if approaching from the wrong end because of some bias. And I don't see any assumption of that bias in your post either. I suppose it's the assumption that they can't do no harm and are being hilarious. I don't see how it's not. I'd argue the harm was local, but the fun was global, to put it in your terms. You seem to think the opposite.

Any process with sufficient privileges (i.e., root) can extract the private key from ssh-agent on Linux as well.

My wife got a Bachelor's from UCLA, then a Master's in Museum Studies from University College, London. She then worked for free (it was called "interning" - which is kind of crazy for someone with a master's) at the San Diego Air and Space Museum (some kinda weird folks there...), and the USS Midway. She gave up weekends and time she could have spent earning an income. It amounted to nothing, though she did get a neat volunteer dinner from the Air and Space Museum. Now she has a normal job in a normal office because she has to pay off the debts from school and can't afford to work for free.

> Last I checked the public sector is covered by OSHA.

Federal agencies can apply alternate standards if they decide general OSHA rules don't work for them; while this requires DoL sign-off, IIRC, this option is not available to individual private employers.

> What rules apply to the private sector that don't apply to the public sector?

Aside from the above, another example is that a variety of regulations under FLSA, including standards for exemption, do not apply to federal employees when adopted by the Labor Department; OPM sometimes adopts conforming regulations that apply similar standards to the federal civilian workforce and sometimes does not.

Similarly, states often limit the applicability of their own labor laws to themselves, though they are of course bound by federal laws to the extent that they aren't either specifically exempted or Constitutionally immune.
