As a user, good! I hate the fact that there are certain apps that to use properly I have to have push notifications on or it severely restricts the functionality of the app (uber eats for example). Then they send promotional ads to me which I can’t turn off which is really annoying.

I’m excited for Apple to enforce this policy. Yet another example of Apple being pro user.
I'd think of dollar stores more like Queen Anne's lace - a hardy but not very worthy weed that quickly recolonizes disturbed regions, replacing but not reconstituting the diverse ecosystems that previously existed there, and easily outcompeting any attempt those plants might make to reestablish themselves.

Granted, Queen Anne's lace is a good source of nutrition for bees and wasps - a trait which dollar stores sadly do not emulate, cf. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dollar-stores-and-food-deserts-...

So I have to say that, in my estimation at least, the plant comes out ahead. But even so, it's a mistake to confuse a thriving mass of Queen Anne's lace with a thriving ecology.
It depends on the headline - if it is a generic headline about a topic of interest, I'll read the comments, as the discussion usually covers the topic well. If it is a blog post or article, then I read the article first, so I get my own unbiased view of it before diving in. The one outlier is links to results from a medical study, I rarely read those comments, because they are typically just skeptical negation of the study, so I just draw my own conclusions with my own dose of skepticism.

My threat model is "telco or ISP employee decides to see if John is a customer and, if so, just what John does with his phone". They will not find me in their customer database and they'd have to dig fairly deeply, and possibly involve banks and/or LEAs which are not my threat model.

> Maybe 1 in 20 studies don't have obvious confounding factors that cause us to have no real base facts, but we can find a lot of correlation.

Even worse: Many studies are done on mice, who do not eat the same things as humans

And worse still: Many are done with "food surveys" which lean too much on the poor memory and faulty assumptions of participations (eg what some Americans think of as a serving of "meat" is really a serving of fried breaded bread with condiment levels of meat mixed in. Most Americans do not know that chicken nuggets are half corn. etc )

The people with the worst data may be the scientists, unfortunately. You can draw somewhat accurate conclusions from your own personal testing and anecdotes, but you might draw mightily wrong conclusions from survey data which appears to say something that simply isn't true.

I think the CDC has been rolling SARS-CoV-2 testing out to the US influenza surveillance system. They actually tried to do this in mid-February but ran into problems with the testing kits. Obviously this would have left the US in a much better position to monitor it, though I doubt that'd stop wild theories about how it was everywhere spreading virally.

Financially - it's possible they're middle class. I've seen plenty of professors making $150k+/yr though... That's 3x the median household income.

But, I think middle class is more than just raw finance. Educational background of the parents is very important too. If you grow up with two professors - don't you think you'll do better than two high school dropouts? (On average)
I completely agree with your distinction, but I'd subdivide things on another level too. Being artistic is about craft, but it's also about expression.

There is something floating around in your mind that you want others to experience. It might be an emotion or thought or aesthetic experience that you had and want others to share. It can even be "asymmetrical" in the sense that perhaps you yourself haven't had the experience but it's one you want someone else to have.

Craft is all about the "how" of art, and expression is about the "what" and the "why". Expression can be a way of connecting with people because what you feel or think becomes something they feel or think too.

If you have art that is all craft and no expression, it can be a little empty or dull. For example, a pianist who plays all the right notes but doesn't put any feeling into it. Art with all expression and no craft isn't always great either. If a painter wants to capture the beauty of a person's face but can't draw noses, the effect probably won't be beauty.

They generally know your location via tower triangulation. They know the sites you visiting via DNS or IP > reverse DNS. Combined with other data sources, they can get pretty close, probably exact. If you are not in a high rise apartment, they can guess your address and/or your work address based on normal 9-5 work patterns. They can map business to LinkedIn for employees of that company. I'm just trying to say that we leak a LOT of personal data to a LOT of people practically all the time. It is very very hard to stay anonymous today.

> Entire libraries, fields of study and lives have been dedicated to the topic with no formal conclusion.

On the contrary, many formal conclusions have been reached. One of them is that it is self-contradictory to say that it is an absolute truth that there is no absolute truth, which is what you seemed to be saying, and that it is meaningless to say that it is a relative truth that all truth is relative. These are ontological propositions, not epistemological propositions.

I don't think the reductionism/wholism axis is really relevant here. I don't read Paul as making any reductionist claims; I think they're much more easily read as wholist claims.

It's true that Paul is making objectivist normative claims about essays, which is to say, claims about what is good or bad in an essay — what kinds of essays people should or shouldn't write. That seems to be what you object to; you're a subjectivist. The same self-contradiction objection applies: you're implicitly claiming that it's objectively bad to make claims about what is objectively bad. (So it is not in fact entirely beside the point you were trying to make.) If you really believed that, you wouldn't be doing it.
I have found the opposite. For obscure programming questions (_ESPECIALLY_ error codes), google always finds me the right stack exchange thread on the front page. DDG usually gives me crap (but I could see where that crap comes from).

I have noticed that Google's ads have gotten harder and harder to distinguish from the valid results. I use DDG until I have an obscure question, then I have to go back to Google.

Eh, the legality is pretty orthogonal.

Using it as a decryption oracle involves enough circumvention in the first place that you might already be running afoul of the DMCA if that applies to you.

Meanwhile, institutions that are given more legal carte blanche like Archive.org would probably prefer to have the decryption keys in case there comes a point where they have access to encrypted binaries, but PS4s to decrypt with have become hard to find, or keys are rotated to the point where new applications exist that require a firmware version that aren't subject to the same decryption oracle attacks.

Perhaps.

While I was unlikely to buy Sonos gear in the first place (because I avoid purchasing IoT stuff like that), if I were in the market for gear like this I would certainly not buy Sonos gear now. This step they took was good, but it doesn't erase the memory of their behavior leading up to this.
Yeah maybe I should be clear here, I'm not talking about putting granulated sugar in your coffee. I'm talking about the explosion of dumping high fructose corn syrup into everything that occurred during these years. And teaching children that they need to eat foods based off the food pyramid was directly opposite to what was actually good for you. Of course everyone doesn't listen to the government recommendations, but it's naive to say it doesn't have an impact.

In addition to that, eating a bagel for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch, and having bread on the side with dinner is pumping carbohydrates for you body to break down into sugars 24/7. These things are higher in calories.

To reinforce what you're suggesting, I'd need to see trends of added sugars to food going down and the obesity rate increasing. At the end of the day, it's calories in vs calories out, but pumping things with fructose increases the calories and the palatability of food, increasing how much you eat. There are a number of negative health side affects, but sugar likely causes obesity by secondary affect.

Maybe they should simply re-label their settings, for starters.

The safe search has three levels: "off", "moderate" and "strict".

I would call this the "Adult content" setting, and the choices would be "prefer", "neutral", and "suppress". These would just map exactly to the semantics of the current three choices.

Transitioning to the "prefer" option could require some dialog or check box tick-off to state that the search engine will emphasize adult material, and the user must confirm their adulthood to enable this mode.

Thus under the "Adult content: prefer" setting, you would then be getting what you asked for. Your queries are interpreted as searching for porn, and "filled torus" behaves accordingly.

Since the very presence of such an option might be seen as offensive, or as promoting pornography (i.e. that DDG is effectively a porn search engine since it has an option for preferentially finding adult material), that option could itself be hidden somehow. To access the option at all would require confirming through a dialog.

Also, there should be a "kid friendly" version of duckduckgo at an alternative URL, with immutably safe settings and and possibly altered search behaviors for even greater safety. Parents could point at that, and block/redirect the main one.

With that idea, what if simply one had to go to adult.duckduckgo.com to be able to search with safe-search "off", regardless of their settings? I.e. if you go to duckduckgo.com, then "off" is treated as "moderate". Only at adult.duckduckgo.com is it actually "off".

Catalina's security is significantly more useful that Vista's. Unlike accepting a UAC prompt, which was equivalent to running as root and often required for innocuous apps to function correctly, while allowing non-UAC approved apps to access and delete almost all of the logged-in user's own data and files, Catalina has a sandbox feature that protects untrusted apps from accessing even the own user's files/photos/contacts/etc, while almost no apps ever require root permissions
In my lab "knowledge map" is one of the internal trendy buzzword, we use it to model course content and concepts to be acquired by students.

What, specifically, do you think more testing will do? Think through the implications, for example, if we test an enormous number of people and they are positive, do we quarantine them? We don't actually have the health infrastructure to do that (nor the political will to run large-scale quarantines).

(personally, I think the CDC is a lot wiser than WHO about what to do in the US, and making decisions during a rapidly expanding epidemiological situation isn't just trivial "test more people").

I remember in the late 80's when things actually seemed pretty good - but all through Reagan's presidency, the press had been lambasting "supply-side economics" (and even his VP called it "voo-doo" economics). I can't say with certainty that there wouldn't have been a recession during Bush's first term without all the negative publicity but it certainly became a factor in his unsuccessful bid for a second term.

The curious thing is that if you perform a pump-and-dump on one or more stocks you get in legal trouble. If you perform a pump (or more likely dump) on the economy as a whole, then you must be a journalist.
And yet, it certainly can (and should) be done. Many of the places that I've worked for (including my current employer) manage to do exactly that.

What it requires is a well-engineered protocol (which is what Sonos apparently lacks) that allows for feature additions while maintaining backward compatibility for old hardware and software. The old hardware and software often can't use the new features, but it can continue to work as it always had before.

>Yes, everything you're saying is a complete myth. Define what it means for the cells to adapt for "running on ketones".

>A ketogenic diet (KD) involves using fat, a high-density substrate, as the main source in daily calorie intake while restricting carbohydrate intake [21,22]. In this way, the liver is forced to produce and release ketone bodies into the circulation [23,24,25,26]. This phenomenon is called nutritional ketosis [27,28,29]. Over time, the body will acclimate to using ketone bodies as a primary fuel, which is called keto-adaptation, an element of fat-adaptation [30,31,32]. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6410243/

emphasis added citing the following study:

>Several days of dietary carbohydrate restriction to levels < 40–50 g/day, with moderate protein, results in increased circulating beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) by an order of magnitude. When maintained for several consecutive weeks, the metabolic state of ‘nutritional ketosis’ awakens a dormant set of genes and metabolic programs that counteract insulin resistance and manifest in several positive health outcomes. This process, referred to as ‘keto-adaptation’, is characterized by accelerated rates of whole body fatty acid oxidation, while glycolysis, insulin concentrations, insulin receptor activation and signaling, constitutive inflammation and oxidative stress are all decreased. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S24682...
I use DuckDuckGo as the primary browser on my phone so I don’t accidentally search things on my corporate Google account and I can say the DDG is demonstrably worse in many situations.

If you have no idea how to spell a complex word, you can type absolute gibberish into Google and it will know what you meant. DDG will figure it out sometimes but less frequently.

Google also has better answer cards than DDG. Try searching “Facebook revenue” on DDG and Google. Google gives you the answer and DDG shows you nothing.

The notion that DDG is better than Google, which is only ever evangelized in these HN threads, is delusional idealism. Sure, DDG has some nice features (namely not being Google), but suggesting that it is better than Google and that the billions of unwashed masses are wrong about Google is silly and kind of elitist.

Really interesting idea, thanks for sharing.
Most people, I believe, could be served just fine by most "Free" alternatives. Many people, I believe, wouldn't notice if you replaced 1) their desktop OS with GNU/Linux, 2) their browser with Firefox, 3) their search engine with DuckDuckGo, 4) MS office with LibreOffice or FreeOffice, and 5) their various smartphone apps and social media services with webapps and/or Free alternatives.

How is this surprising? As long as it "just works" most people are going to be fine and won't really notice a difference.

I !g occasionally in DDG (which I've been using full time for over 4 years) but have found that Google's results aren't better, just different.
Glass is very rarely replaced and is exposed to 100% of the sunlight that will be around during its installation life time - shaded or not. That’s going to add up to considerable energy regardless of input cost.
Why is that sufficient reason? I'm not particularly concerned about Google having my search history. As I've said before, they've been good stewards with it over 20 years.

It's not a straw man, the spectrum goes from no testing to testing everyone, and _measuring_ "actual cases" accurately (especially after community transmission stage) requires one to be on the latter end of the spectrum. I did say that it's unrealistic to go that far, and you're right that more aggressive testing will obviously lead to better visibility. My point merely was that the rationale for not ramping up testing to the wazoo could be attributed to risk/cost analysis. Incidentally, that might even explain why Singapore with a population half the size of Wuhan's would be able to respond more elastically than the US with a ~300M population and high levels of bureaucracy and government fragmentation.

Btw, I should clarify that when I said the word "debatable", I was using an euphemism.

"Which device" here meaning they have an origin IP address for the traffic? Is that what you think most people mean by "sender" ?

Like, who sent this postcard "A pillar box in Westminster, London" ?

If your quibble was that this isn't technically completely anonymous I'm down with that. But the original claim was that Signal can tie this to a phone number, and "We could tell the IP address of the sending device" isn't that at all.

If you are worried about IP addresses then just as with literally everything else the only effective way to hide your IP is Tor. But then why bring Signal into this?
