”Nov. 29, 2006 -- Lean back before reading this; your back may thank you.

A new study suggests that sitting upright for hours at a time -- for example, when working at a computer -- may lead to chronic back pain. Instead, the best position for your back is somewhat reclined, sitting at a 135-degree angle rather than the 90-degree angle most office chairs are designed for.“

Surely most people know that private jets exist. I don't understand your shock. Using the word "inequalities" suggests you feel it's unfair that some people are much richer than you, but so what? Some people are also much poorer than you. We're obviously not all identical drones and that's a good thing.

Given that there's a strong correlation between race and poverty in the US (via racism) and a strong correlation between poverty and infection rate which, it seems to mean poverty is a greater indicator than genetics.

Those features cost money to develop, so charging a fee helps fund development. In theory if you are selling, you have revenue to pay for those subscription-based services. The best part about open source is that you can build it yourself if existing offerings are lacking.

True.. it was not the first. But it was I believe the first portable one that was capable of playing an entire cassette tape from beginning to end. It was the new generation rare earth magnets that enabled this.
Note that China had been under embargo since 1989 from high technology products. There simply was no option other than independence.

Gorge Kennan, the author of the X article incept the containment strategy, often contended: there needs to be options for USSR (often in criticizing US foreign policy that is highly ideology charged and leave minimal policy maneuver for USSR).

Of course, it was totally reasonable to enforce embargo after 1989. That was an attempt to force spontaneous changes in the Chinese society, after an obviously unacceptable behavior from the government.

However, no one studied the Chinese people. They are more willing to correct the wrongs made to them in the past, than bend to external pressure. The pressure, which has been on this ancient nation since 1840, never managed to break the nation. And this time the result won't be different either.

Yeah, it's certainly a tourist-heavy economy, but they're not letting most Americans fly in at all. I'd think trying to make an exception for just the private jet crowd would be a bad look.

The article is meandering and hence misses what I think is the fundamental problem with whatsapp - it's not encryption or groups but forwarding. Almost everything wrong with whatsapp can be explained by the absolute simplicity of forwarding crap in whatsapp, and that is frankly not a feature you can consider a tenet of free expression or privacy. I'd argue that reigning in on the viral aspect of whatsapp is what we should focus on.
I agree with your sentiment. I agree with the general idea. My problem is that the people behind cancel culture are hypocrites. Fundamentalists and even society in general 30 years ago said homosexuality was morally abhorrent. They tried to cancel gays. People spoke up. They said that canceling someone was wrong. Through this the far left gained traction. Now they’ve turned around and established the old norms with a new boss.

The promise made in the late 90s was that the gays wanted a live and let live policy. What they did in their home life shouldn’t matter to anyone. If someone want to take issue with their life style, they could as long as the gays’ day to day rights were respected. The truce seems to be broken. There are those within the LGBTQ+ community that are seeking retribution. They are seeking to establish their own courts in the public discourse to revile those who took their forefathers to legal ones.

Ultimately this is going to end with the left eating itself. Their hypocrisy will run smooth after awhile. In the meantime there will be many hearts removed on the alter of their cause.

To the question below about canceling over intolerance, I see little benefit in that since the things which we are to tolerate keep moving as do those which we should abhor. Kevin Hart lost the opportunity to host an awards show because of some old jokes. Golden Girls had an episode removed because they wore mud masks. There was a fight at the BBC over a Faulty Towers episode with the N-word. Heck John Cleese is in self imposed exile because of the thought police in England.

To destroy a young man or woman’s future because of foolish indiscretions in their teens is unconscionable. That is the way of fostering the next generation of hate. We will continue to live in a truly racist world because of actions like this. To deny the children entry on these grounds is to say they have no value. They will take this with them into life. They will raise their children in the soil of animosity.
>I'm a bit surprised the rich take private jets as much as they do. They are about as dangerous as cars on a distance basis

Source for this? I know that general aviation travel tend to be much more dangerous than commercial airlines. This is mainly due to them using single engine planes with little redundancy (eg. cessna 172), and inexperienced pilots (you are doing it for fun). However, is the same true for "private jets"? I'm not sure what the exact model plane they used, but the pictured plane has 2 engines and looks about the right size for 10 people. The dual engines alone probably makes it safer than your average cessna. I'd also think that someone rich enough to operate a private jet probably has enough money for a professional pilot.

If Google AMP is acts like a cache of content, then cache poisoning attacks are a concern. How those cached items expire will determine how long an attacker who poisons the cache can serve malicious content.
I think the main issue is limited AMPCache providers and inability for the publisher to choose their own AMPCache providers. Which is being exploited the two search engines.

AMP project by itself is open-source and it explicitly states 'Other companies may build their own AMP cache as well'.[1] There are only 2 AMP Cache providers - Google, Bing. Further, 'As a publisher, you don't choose an AMP Cache, it's actually the platform that links to your content that chooses the AMP Cache (if any) to use.'[2]

Say, if Cloudflare provides a AMPCache and if the site publisher can choose their own Cache provider this can be resolved effectively as AMP by design itself is easy for a laymen to create high performance websites; of course there is no excuse for hiding URLs.

By that logic, why permit the New Zealanders to quarantine, or the English?
Most recipes are useless internationally anyway, the ingredients are often different locally or hard to source. If you're lucky and you have a kitchen in two different regions or, like me, you live in a non-English speaking country who still wants to cook dishes from home then it's going to affect you. That's a vanishingly small number of people.

Otherwise, most people will know how much an egg weighs, especially if they bake regularly.

The point wasn't that this technology would uniquely enable XSS attacks, but rather that it could allow malicious actors to persist particular attacks for the duration of the validity of the signed content. Any brief vulnerability in a website now becomes serializable. They considered this already. Look in the draft "6.3. Downgrades":

"Signing a bad response can affect more users than simply serving a bad response, since a served response will only affect users who make a request while the bad version is live, while an attacker can forward a signed response until its signature expires. Publishers should consider shorter signature expiration times than they use for cache expiration times."

How would they do that if I didn’t log in with Facebook or in any way connect the apps together?

What I did do is add those girls’ numbers on WhatsApp - which is a Facebook property - and they suddenly appeared as friend recommendations.

Most cases of experimentation with drinking, drugs, smoking, sex do not lead to severe consequences. For a lot of people, they lead to growth and better judgement along with some level of understanding the stupidity of their earlier decisions. That is the point of experimentation. To learn.

Online posts unfortunately do not disappear. So an 18 year old has to answer for his dumb 16 year old self. This is awful and makes me sad.

A wise primary school teacher told me that over his decades of experience he learned that many kids experiment with things that make them feel strong and powerful. He observed that they often had little to no understanding of what they were doing until they were guided. So a child using racist language may not be a racist, as much as he is trying on the power of a racist. It is the power that thrills him.

These are children. They can learn. The "racist" ones are exactly the ones that we should reach and teach.
Sounds to me like the local government tried unsuccessfully to find a way around the national government policy.
> We'll use your idea instead. What is it?

For starters, how about they prove they've learned the error of their ways? If racist behavior was the grounds for the revocation of their acceptance letter, they can start by demonstrating a track record of remorse for their actions, over a non-trivial amount of time. An appropriately contrite-sounding college entrance essay cranked out over a weekend isn't going to cut it. What sincere attempts have they made to make amends for their racist actions? The students we're discussing have burned bridges through their racist actions, now it's on them to build new ones. Once they've done that, then we'll talk.

> What's next, restaurants refusing patrons for being hungry?

Any time I see the "what's next" argument here on HN or anywhere, it immediately reeks of the "slippery slope" fallacy. Equating racist behavior with "being hungry" is absurd on its face.

> Not only to get some history and some different perspectives, but also to potentially have a brown person as a prof, a roommate or better yet a project teammate...

Expecting racists to do a 180 and become upstanding citizens as the result of "having a brown person as a prof", as if you can catch anti-racism via osmosis, is only slightly less absurd than equating racist behavior with being hungry.

:-) There are volumetric and weight-based ozs. There are 128 ozs in a gallon. That is 16 cups to a gallon with 8 ozs per cup.

The problems that the poster one-higher stated are trivial. 128/3 = 42 2/3 ozs. 1/7 of a gallon in ozs is 8/7 * 16 in ozs = just over 18 ozs. 1/7 of a quart is just that answer divided by 4, 4.6 as an off the cuff calculation.
I think their logic is that Americans in particular cannot be trusted to take it seriously or to self-sacrifice for the safety of others. Which, if you look at the response to COVID 19 from a large portion of the country, should be fairly evident. I say this as an American.

AMP seems like a solution in search of a problem. Are people really having trouble with loading speed in 2020? I travel to remote areas in third world countries regularly for work and still don't really have problems loading pages with mobile data.

Even if it didn't have all of the problems associated with it I just don't get the point. I don't need Google to repackage a website with less useability. It's frequently not even faster.

Where did you purchase N100 or P100 masks from?
It’s a reasonable point of view—that universities perform a social good by admitting these racists, because the university experience might reform them. I guess that would mean that they should seek out more racists, and recruit them—because then they would be reforming more people, and helping society even more. But at some point you might get too many racists, and the normal students would be overburdened in their task of helping to expose them to different ideas. It will be difficult for the admissions committees to find the right balance: you want just the right number of racists.

I watched an a documentary about early humans a couple weeks ago, and felt really grateful that we have people passionate enough to dedicate their lives to learning about our ancestors. On one hand, it would be really heartbreaking if the number of people deeply focused on the humanities starts to dwindle, and our culture gets more and more monotonous. On the other hand, maybe this shift could cause us to automate more of the boring parts of this research or discover new research tools that wouldn't be possible otherwise.

It'd be a lot easier to justify a humanities education if it resulted in a high-paying job. Just image a Udacity for the humanities where the end of the program resulted in a career coach helping you get a $300k job as a historian. To me, that is truly utopian.
