> It's particularly surprising because physical exercise doesn't cost anything and healthy food is extremely cheap if one can be bothered to learn how to cook. I've been raised on extremely cheap but healthy food. We would buy 10kg of rice which was cheaper than a single Big Mac menu and cheap vegetables which could be cooked up with rice and a sauce. People claim that eating healthy is difficult when you're not rich but I can say from 1st hand experience that this is an ignorant statement to make. Buying prime grass fed beef is expensive, but that is not healthy. Eating beef or lamb 5x a week is actually unhealthy. Vegetables and rice is cheap everywhere.

Time is money.

The issue really isn't that you can't live for cheap. The issue is that living for cheap takes time.

It takes prep work to turn cheap vegetables into something edible. On the flip side, a can of spaghetti-os just requires reheating. A box of mac and cheese requires milk and butter and 15 minutes. A bag of potato chips takes 0 time to open. Most microwave dinners are similarly unhealthy but convenient.

Then there is also the problem with culture. If you are poor and spent your whole life raised on mac and cheese + hamburger helper, guess what you are likely to reach for when it comes time to feed yourself in the future? It takes active work to move from an unhealthy diet to a healthy one.

Then comes the education problem. It's hard enough figuring out what a "healthy" diet is even with internet access. You'll find a bunch of fad diets which push for, frankly, super unhealthy foods based on pseudo-science. Sure, the healthiest diet is a vegetarian diet based primarily on vegetables. Good luck convincing people of that. Especially when their reiki master is telling them that banana and pineapple smoothies will unblock their chakras.

In short, health eating requires that you. A) know what it is B) have the time to do it and C) you know how to prep it. Poor folk are often disadvantaged in all these categories.

The small minority who get serious symptoms are enough to overwhelm hospitals if many people get the disease. Then hospitals cannot treat heart attacks, strokes, car accidents and other serious emergencies.
From the point of view of the photons, yes. From the point of view of everything else, no.

One of the bits of relativity that took me the longest to become aware of was that “right now” isn’t even meaningfully and universally defined within it.
I don't think it's fair to say it was "rushed." It is not, in fact, approved yet.
Tbh that sounds like a ridiculous standard. Our hospitals are fine as long as they haven't been hit in a nuclear first strike and are still standing?
> I agree with the desire to digitize and preserve as much as possible.

But if you put private property above all else, then you need to explain who would have an incentive to take on the digitization/curation/archival/distribution work, and why.

Artifacts only command a premium because they are unique. Private organizations, at least profit driven ones, have very little if any incentive to digitize and make something available in the highest quality possible, if they just spent a sizeable amount of money to have exclusive access to it. And that's not even saying something about making it available as a real commons.

On the other hand, non-profit organizations are either largely publicly funded, at which the distinction to "the state" becomes blurry, or privately funded, in which case we again depend on the goodwill of a few rich individuals and on their choices what is and isn't worth preserving, and what is and isn't going to be available to the public. Yay! /s
No, absolutely. The sensor is flat and when you change the focal length, the sensor gets the same “light/illumination”. That is the plus of a curved sensor: better image/photo at the border of the frame because there is always the same distance between the lens and the sensor.

Sex workers have continued to see clients without using masks or observing social distancing rules. Yet they have not been noticed as a particularly affected group or even as a large transmission vector.

So either we're not collecting the data that would reveal them as actually a problem, or something else has to explain why they are immune to the devastation that is supposed to be associated with Covid.
If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear! Privacy schmivacy.
The bill would make more sense if it was against companies like Yelp misleading both customers and restaurants that they are calling eachother directly.

Even without mandated lockdown, the effect is the same. If I have a 1% chance of dying/long term effects, and I can reduce it if I don't go to restaurants, I won't go to restaurants.
It means 95% of people exposed to the virus who would have otherwise gotten sick, do not get sick.
One thing that Google publishing their DKIM rotated keys is take fake news to a new level.

Basically anybody could use those signing keys to fake email from a politician or celebrity. Imagine the headlines “Celebrity X account hacked, here are the emails, cryptographically verified by Google”

Of course, informed people will know that anybody could have faked them, but I would guess normal people would be fooled. In addition, there is no way to say the emails are definitely fake. At least now, we can tell between actual leaked emails and fake emails.

This comment recalled for me the Bill Cosby joke which goes, "When I was a teen, I couldn't believe how stupid my Dad was. When my kids were teens I couldn't believe how much my Dad had learned between then and now." :-)

I didn't appreciate the wisdom in that joke until my kids were teens. The sadness comes from the expectation of the painful times between the onset of the technology and the eventual successful integration of that technology into our lives. For me, I live in Silicon Valley which has more superfund cleanup sites than pretty much anywhere because the chip companies dumped a lot of toxic chemicals that later turned out to be carcinogens into the ground. People I know, some well, some only by association, were harmed by that. It was part of the "learning curve" of developing semiconductors which have so changed everyone's lives. That the chips are a net good is, in my opinion, pretty clear. However, the "learning" of the superfund cleanup was painful.

Bespoke genetic manipulation will have similar "growing pains" and those pains will kill people, cause generalized harm, and likely a catastrophe or two. And once we've gone through that and understand the risks and challenges in a more fundamental way, then people will be enjoying the benefits and the risks will be contained by legislation or some other oversight.

I don't know what the laws are on possession, but before marijuana was legalized it was far, far easier to buy a bong than the weed to smoke in it. I'm wracking my brain to try to think of a piece of drug paraphernalia that is illegal to sell or illegal to possess in the absence of the drugs themselves.
Recently the ACLU’s absolutism on free speech has begun to waver. I won’t post a link here but search for it if you want to know more.
In 1891, the first electromechanical telephone exchange was invented by Almon Strowger, an undertaker. He was concerned that the human operators were diverting his customers (specifically, the wife of one of his competitors was an operator).

If you think about it, every business interaction before the twentieth century was mediated by 1:1 interactions with humans, who brought their own prejudices and self-interest to it. The Stowger exchange was the start of an era of "mechanical honesty" - machines, businesses, and even government departments that could only act in one way, because any bespoke deviation was too inefficient to exist/be profitable, and so ordinary citizens could rely on them.

We are coming to the end of that era. Computing power has reached the point where bespoke dishonesty and manipulation can be implemented efficiently. The public still retains the expectations of the mechanical honesty era, and is an easy mark. That has to change...

I can ignore it no problem. But less proficient users, like my mother, will not know or remeber this advice.

What's also (in)convenient is that unrelated security updates, like the one for Safari that was released the same day as Big Sur, are well hidden UI wise. You have to click a small link below the Big Sur upgrade notification to get to those important security updates.

Reverse transcription is a real biological process. We can’t rule it out in the human body. We don’t have enough experience to be sure. If this was the Black Death, the risk would be justified. It might be justified here for people above child rearing age. But fertile people need to be more careful with their genetics.
The immune system is complex and has multiple mechanisms to recognize and attack pathogens; besides antibodies I've seen mention of multiple types of T-cells and also there's apparently a dimension of mucosal immunity vs. systemic immunity.

Antibodies are easy to test for (the chemistry required can be put into mass-produced home test kits), while it's more difficult to test for other responses (a recent long-term study of covid-19 T-cell response was with only ~100 subjects).

A hypothetical vaccine that produced a meh antibody response but mobilized the T-cell or mucosal systems could be effective at preventing the disease but not look like much on an antibody screen.
This article really buries the lede, that all of these restaurants agreed to pay GrubHub for any leads that GrubHub generated. Sounds like the restaurants should simply stop buying GrubHub’s marketing service, if it isn’t worthwhile for them.

The thing is, a 3-year life expectancy loss doesn't usually mean "you just cut off the last 3 years of your life." In many (or most) cases, your years of healthy life adjust downward accordingly.

At 27, you have the same medical problems and quality-of-life degradations a healthy person gets at 30. At 55, you're a 58 year old.

It's really easy to look at a number like that and think "Yeah, I'd be happy to lose the 80-83 bracket". But effectively it's the 20-23 range of healthy, happy life you've cut out. And that IS a big difference.
Ok - let's say we all "release" our pets into the wild - Right Now.

I think a lot of this comes down to how you phrase the question. From the same survey, the phrase "recommendations based on purchase/browsing history" (which is arguably the same as "tracking online activity to tailor advertisements") had 25% rate it as ethical.
> Yelp, to restaurants: we get a commission on Grubhub orders.
Restaurants, begrudgingly: fine

Is this true? Or is the agreement to pay commission or a fee for any calls coming from Yelp’s website or app?

I’m just saying people are throwing out terms like prison and fraud, and in the legal world, those words have specifics meanings.
The alternative is a high chance of becoming ill with COVID, which according to the data available so far is much riskier than the vaccine (1-2% hospitalization risk even for healthy young adults, evidence of long term issues at least in some people).

Unless of course your alternative plan is full isolation for years, in which case not taking the vaccine is the correct choice, but such isolation is only reasonable if you don't care about going outside anyway at all.
If the time to give a more accurate estimate takes more time than the actual work, you aren't dealing with an estimate longer than three weeks. If the estimate is less than a day, it's not worth getting more precise.

To your first point: Yes, that happens sometimes. When it does, your estimates can be wrong. (Hey, they're estimates - they're not prophecies.) If that happens very often, though, you might add a fudge factor for "that kind of thing". Maybe something like "unknown surprises crop up most of the time, and when they do, they take about 20% of the effort, so we'll make our best estimate, then add 20%". That won't be perfect either - sometimes it will be 40%, and sometimes 0. But, you know, estimates...

We can’t rule out reverse transcription in the human body. It’s a very real possibility that introducing RNA results in longer lasting genetic change. Probably not! But I’d rather risk covid myself. So should all fertile people. At least until we know more.

Most no longer make eye contact. Or shake hands. I can't tell whether someone is genuinely smiling or laughing. Voices are muffled. They're a distraction.

It's specifically a response to the idea that "nothing" is lost when wearing a mask.
Meanwhile, the IETF is speccing more messaging protocols with non-repudiation and HN users seem to be cheering that shortcoming along: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25100316

I think it's kind of unfortunate that there are many people that suddenly care when its powerful people or their families that are getting caught out by DKIM, these aren't the people who need protection from it the most. No one would even care if the Hunter Biden related emails passed DKIM except for the widespread allegation that they were fake, and no one still cares because conversation about them passing DKIM is widely suppressed (including on HN, unfortunately, where a post about it was immediately flagged). Oh well, I suppose it's like when the ACLU used to defend awful speech for the sake of defending free speech because those were the cases available which could make an impact.

Unfortunately publishing DKIM secret keys only goes so far towards avoiding accidental non-repudiation: Recipients can cryptographically timestamp the signatures before the keys are published. ... and doing so already makes sense independent of DKIM. In fact, one of the ways that the public was able to prove that the outdated google DKIM key was a real key was that we were able to find cryptographically timestampped google signed emails from back when that key was still in use.

Better than key publication is to avoid having a non-repudiateable stamp to begin with. This is much easier in the context of end-to-end two-party interactive protocols, but I believe is still possible for multiparty protocols.

The analog for DKIM wouldn't work so well unfortunately, because DKIM isn't end to end. E.g. DKIM could be changed so that the signature demonstrated that either the sending server or the recipient server signed the message-- this would be just as good for anti-spam, but really wouldn't improve the non-repudiation in most cases. Contrast that with applying the same approach to end-to-end messaging, where it gives you pretty strong non-repudiation.
My hope is that masks become much more socially acceptable for regular cold/flu after all this.

Bingo. People would rather find anything to blame but themselves. Change is also hard. People can change; most wont. You see it far too often in "fat acceptance" and "healthy at every size" communities.
Technically correct, but "long term" means a few months at most in this case.

At best, it contains menus, pictures, hours, phone number, and reviews.

Menus, pictures of food, and honest reviews aren't helpful to you?

I think most people get a lot of value out of Yelp. Yelp's review system is among the hardest to game, so it has the most trustworthy reviews for service-based businesses.

That said, that's largely besides the point of this article.

> Whenever you watch a video you are downloading it.

Why is this comment downvoted? It's highlighting one of the most common misunderstandings that laypersons have regarding video download/streaming. Most people think that you can "view" content on the internet without downloading it. In this context, a tool which purports to "download" content, you know... sounds like it's nefariously doing something that the "viewing" tool (like a web browser) doesn't do.
Interesting, in (southern?) Brazil it refers to the female genital.
Not all artists can do shows - e.g. disabled, but I believe true fans will buy a record. I wouldn't like someone like RIAA to pressure someone into paying just because they downloaded my song to check it out (and I wouldn't see the money anyway). These days we have great technology and companies like Spotify can pay artists directly. Labels these days can only provide financing (on mafia like terms) and influence gate keepers, but this is also changing. You can totally make a commercial grade record on your own without label involvement, same with videos, merch etc. and even gigs.

"I was always fixated with URL shorteners and always wanted to write one myself. While it would be easy to write one that works with a server, I loved the idea of hosting and running one for free."

I felt exactly the same way and did, in fact, build one.[1]

It was pretty simple. There's an interesting twist to the particular one I built - it's not specifically a URL shortener, it's a "Universal Shortener".[2] Also no tracking or cookies or third party connections, which I find pleasing.

The disappointing part is seeing the malicious spam and phishing URLs that get shortened. We have had to manually flag-hold-approve a lot of strings and IIRC we outright block anything with 'paypal' in it.

We also gave a kill-function to our upstream ISP so that they could immediately act on phishing complaints without our having to be involved in real-time.

As far as I recall, Yelp predates Google having any of those features at all.

So in one sense, the "value in Yelp" was in being successful enough to get Google to emulate their feature-set directly within the search results. Which doesn't really speak well to Yelp's continuing value, though.
