I remember that thread, and that claim is disingenuous. From the actual study:

>The incidence of any psychiatric diagnosis in the 14 to 90 days after COVID-19 diagnosis was 18·1% (95% CI 17·6–18·6), including 5·8% (5·2–6·4) that were a first diagnosis.

So only 5.8% of people got a first diagnosis, and the remainder of the 18% were people who had been previously diagnosed with one of these conditions.

Further, if you looked at the normal flu the same way, you'd see a 13% incidence rate.. and that's without the impact of lockdowns or media hype.

> Are you saying increasing the brain capacity for a species other than ourselves and potentially enabling them to become (undeniably) sentient is morally wrong?

Yes. I would call it extremely irresponsible -- on the same level as having a child you know you will be unable to feed, so the child will starve and probably die. (With the same excuse: but wouldn't the child be happy that they existed at all?)

We have no idea how different species would think and feel. If we imagine them as "exactly like humans, only with more fur", well, who knows, it might turn out to be true; but if it is not -- if the difference between us and them is greater than the difference between any two humans, just like with the biological differences -- then we might create another intelligent species with incompatible values. Where "incompatible values" could mean that a reality that makes us happy would make them unhappy, and vice versa, so there is no outcome that wouldn't require lot of suffering.

The assumption that they would be "exactly like humans, only with more fur" makes sense from a Cartesian, dualistic perspective. Same souls, in different bodies, duh. But if you think that mind is a product of body, and tiny changes in the body can have dramatic impact on how the mind works, e.g. having more or less of some hormone can profoundly change your personality; then minds of different species will probably be quite different.

Then there is this practical problem, that we can't even take care of our fellow humans. People are still starving, dying in wars and genocides, etc. Even in first world we have the problem of poverty, racism, whatever.

Now imagine that into this world you introduce a new intelligent species, which might be incapable of getting a job, dealing with bureaucracy, or just interacting with majority humans in ways that humans consider acceptable. Because this society is designed for humans, it might be impossible to navigate for them. Then what? Keep them in... a big ZOO, forever? Tell them the same fate awaits their kids, and the kids of their kids, until perhaps one day humans get bored of them and decide to exterminate them? Or let them out, and then put them in prisons, because they may be unable to abstain from behaviors that are considered criminal by us? Require them to ignore their own insticts and live accordingly to our instincts, and then punish them if they are unable to comply?

Or are we going to give them an island where they can create a civilization according to their own norms? And ignore if they decide to do things that are abhorrent to us but normal for them? Are we going to trade with them? According to their norms or ours?

The only reason this works in some sci-fi books is that the other species are "exactly like humans, only with more fur". It may not work if they are fundamentally psychologically different.
I mean it’s not only supported in browsers just the motivation for its existence is browsers. It will likely get the same level of support as WebP which is “not ubiquitous but well supported.”

If you are someone who looks at image formats and says “wow this is really wasteful, we could be doing so much better” then your constraints make it a no win. Nobody adopts formats that aren’t supported, and nobody supports formats that aren’t used. And users are just stuck with waste forever. Somebody has to break the ice and Google using the format in a non-disruptive setting of Google talking to Google is pretty conservative.

If it was Adobe’s new format they would bootstrap it by making it the default in Photoshop or Apple would make it the default format for the camera or something.
Yes, so per area there will be more power consumption. But you need less area so if the transistor count stays the same you save.
The lenses are currently designed to focus onto a flat plane - its actually no different to design them to focus onto a curved sensor, apart from the camera and lenses can be made smaller... I’m surprised smartphone cameras don’t do this for that reason.

That is not true on two fronts. First, doctors were not choosing who lives and who dies. They were deciding who would have the higher chance of survival if they were treated. There is no certainty that a) the selected treatment group would survive or b) the unselected would have survived but for the triage.

Secondly, that is exactly what triage is! People die, doctors are trained to decide of a group of people which are dying, who has the better chance of not dying.
Notes on a Learning Organization
I've seen people suggest using pi as a "database." In this instance you could map ranges of pi to characters. Then you search pi until you find the right range. The URL would contain the range(s) needed.

This is terrible and so computationally wasteful. But it's interesting to think about.
> Why would I want a vaccine that is actually less effective than my chances of surviving?

Well, the vaccine hopefully doesn't kill you if it's ineffective, so the numbers aren't exactly comparable.

The reasoning in this comment is wild. Let's take it back to the math a moment:

Let's take your 3% chance of death (actually the population survival rate is significantly higher IIRC, but OTOH there's long haul COVID to consider too). If the vaccine is 95% effective, all else being equal you have a 3% chance of death without the vaccine, and a 0.15% chance of death with the vaccine. So the question becomes: is there a greater than 2.85% chance of the vaccine killing you or doing you crippling injury? If not, you're probably better off taking the vaccine.

For the record, I dislike this practice...but to play devil's advocate (pls don't downvote for playing devil's advocate LOL)

If I go to Google and I type in {name of my favorite restaurant}...and the first link on top is an ad placed by that restaurant, and below it is the actual restaurant's website...If I click on that ad, Google will charge that restaurant money, when it just redirects me to the website.

In this case, GrubHub is claiming that they placed the phone number on Yelp, so they get money.

I mean I think paying $8 (or whatever percentage of an order is) for that redirect is highway robbery given thin margins for a restaurant...
To be honest, I had no idea youtube-dl did anything else other than download YouTube videos. What other functions does it have?
The initial results from the Phase 3 trials are to show if the vaccine is effective. They enroll a bunch of people, inject them with the vaccine or a placebo, and then wait. Everything up until the "waiting" part can be and was expedited. The waiting part depends on how quickly the pathogen is spreading. In this case, very fast, so it took months instead of years to get enough data to draw conclusions.

That part can't be rushed. There was no shortcut to proving efficacy.

The Phase 3 trials haven't stopped and they will continue to record information about safety and side effects. But the Phase 2 trials already proved the vaccine to be safe, which is necessary before injecting it in to tens of thousands of human beings, as was done for Phase 3 trials.

New information about safety and side effects could emerge, but in the meantime, the various national health agencies will have to decide if the data on safety is sufficient to give emergency approvals.
> Non-repudiation over time is a truly powerful property of DKIM'd email for a great many uses outside of blackmail.

This. Publishing the DKIM keys would be a huge loss for email archivists and historians in general. E.g. a couple weeks ago Donald Knuth published all of the emails he's sent and received over the last 20+ years of his career[1], without DKIM how would we know that they are authentic?

Just because the elderly are more vulnerable it does not mean other age groups are not experiencing a higher death rate due to covid.

Per the CDC:
"Overall, an estimated 299,028 excess deaths have occurred in the United States from late January through October 3, 2020, with two thirds of these attributed to COVID-19. The largest percentage increases were seen among adults aged 25–44 years and among Hispanic or Latino (Hispanic) persons."

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6942e2.htm

I would argue that "adults aged 25–44 years" are a pretty integral component of the economy and more of them dying than normal is not great.

When this happens is it literally just companies trying to save money so they only need to hire JS developers?

Or are static sites not webscale anymore? The web framework I use for my personal stuff just takes templates in and fills it with whatever a request requires, and it's definitely easier than dealing with JS wat-isms.
System updates also include firmware updates for all sorts of reasons.

Honestly, Apple has so few Mac SKUs (this is a good thing) that I imagine it is possible to exhaustively test firmware upgrades on every supported device in QC. Perhaps people upgrade with random devices plugged into their machines?

You grew up eating healthy food. If left to your own devices you probably maintain a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stay at a healthy weight. Whether it's a condition of genetics, environment, or both you're privileged to have an easy time maintaining your weight; it's not that simple for many people. Especially in first world countries where unhealthy food is cheap, fast, widely available, and tastes better. Cooking veggies and rice requires a trip to the grocery store and cooking time and doesn't taste nearly as good as that Big Mac.

I lost about 70 pounds (~32kg) in 2 years through only diet. At the start when I just catalogued what I was eating I was eating about 4k calories a day. I ate more than the people around me, but not a huge amount and I rarely had stomach problems or felt "stuffed". That's just how much food my body wants to eat in a day. When I tried to eat less than that I would feel hungry. Religiously recording what I ate and planning ahead I managed to lose a lot of weight by staying to ~2k calories a day.

But if I stop recording food everyday? Within 2 months I'm at about 3k calories a day. At ~2k calories per day I spend most of my day feeling hungry. I have tried 1-2 large meals a day, or 5-6 small "snack" sized meals a day with no change. My natural preference is to eat a lot of high-fat and high-carb food that is calorically dense and if I don't actively work to curb that tendency then I start putting on weight. For me to be healthy requires constant, daily, effort on my part. It will never be easy. I can never relax on my diet.

Everyone is different, but it is not that we don't care or that we don't try, it's that it takes a lot of concerted effort to be healthy for some people. Like anything that requires willpower (quitting cigarettes, cutting back on booze or weed, quitting video games or porn or really any unhealthy mental addiction, going to work everyday, staying in a committed relationship, etc.) for some people it's trivial and for other's it requires concentration, motivation, and hard work and despite all of that we still fail much of the time. Controlling your weight means controlling those urges forever for some people.
I can't wait for them to be gone too, but I happily wear one if it protects the people around me.
The unique and whimsical experiences seem to be a feature for her boat captain too, so that seems a little unfair.

And yes, the author does get to go back to her "well to do life", but she does not downplay the hardness, dirt or danger of this work.

Your position seems to suggest that you can't write about the sorts of things the author wanted to write about - the intersections between loneliness, isolation, community, friendship and work - unless you're not well-to-do and spend years or even a lifetime in a job.

I reject that perspective.
Individual interactions 1:1 aren't the primary spread concern. Super spreader events and individuals are. Covid-19 is primarily spread by a small set of individuals who spread it to a large number of people.

And people aren't likely to mention the sex worker they saw to a contact tracer, meaning the vector will be overlooked.

Combine that with a relatively young demographic, and an ability to control who you interact with fairly carefully.
The rebuttal to your reasoning is in the letter. Basically a federal judge has previously ruled that utilizing a publicly available password is not circumvention of a copyright protection mechanism. The code containing the "sig" (as google calls it) or "rolling cipher" (as RIAA calls it) is available to anyone by viewing the JavaScript. This sig / cipher being public means it is not a copyright protection mechanism.
Disavowing also protects against key theft or leaks. I'd guess that theft or leaks are probably more likely than cracking, now that the major providers are using long keys.

On the other hand, eating less saves time. For example, skipping lunch saves time on shopping, preparing and eating. It requires no skill or knowledge to skip lunch. Skipping lunch saves money.
This depends in the broadest sense on what data you want to have and which data source you trust. The OWID data is a good data source for our use case because it collects many data characteristics from all over the world and is very trustworthy at the same time. On the other hand, you can't break down this data further than on a country level.

Other data sources differentiate more in terms of geographical characteristics, but include a smaller amount of other information, e.g. the New York Times data used by Google (https://www.google.com/search?q=covid+data+usa+county+state).

Can you imagine how pointless it would have been for people in 1500 AD to be trying to anticipate our problems?

Actually it would not have been pointless at all - even back then. A well-organized movement - or even a few highly principled actors in the courts of power - could definitely have, if not entirely stopped -- at least helped bring an early end to slavery and the colonialist expansion that started around exactly that time.

In fact it is getting over exactly this kind of cynicism that may be all we need to turn this situation around in a generation or two (and I do think we can do it).

But if everyone were to give into the same sense of resignation as you have - we won't stand any chance at all.

No because it's not on us to make moral distinctions between someone who is gay and doesn't want to make that information public, and someone who isn't gay and is being falsly blackmailed.

Publishing the DKIM keys makes both cases harder because you no longer have authenticity claims. Neither claim has authenticity value and instead is just a "their word versus yours" situation.

Humans are terrible moral adjudicators, and acting off of universals leads to repugnant ends. The truth can absolutely do terrible damage and still be the truth, but being the truth doesn't remove value from privacy. Put another way - would it be moral to publish your full medical records in the public? After all, they are the truth...
Grubhub itself, in this article, claims only 35%.
Nothing moral about their crusade - they got booted from the top of the search results along with other doorway-style crap like about.com and their conversion probably fell off the cliff. Had to explain that to investors somehow I suppose...

You're under the absurd illusion that a substance with some weak evidence (that may be just statistical noise and bad interpretation of data) would have a significant effect.

If there's an effect of vitamin D it's likely very small.

Seven years is required by California and I believe Apple uses that limit as a floor for all US support. They have also occasionally shipped security updates for even older hardware.

I don't like using Windows but I admire MS's commitment to back compatibility. I know it adds a tremendous amount of work and makes some vulnerabilities very difficult or impossible to address.

TBF I don't believe MS can or does ship firmware updates for any hardware other than their own. So they are less likely to suffer this particular failure.
So you're saying there are a lot of situations where masks and social distancing aren't important. This is a message you should spread more widely because it is currently lost in the noise.
Hi everyone, original author of the document here.

I was confused about why there were so many new Github issues filed, and sure enough I did a search on Hacker News and found it posted here.

This was inspired by my annoyance with the prevailing tenor of Windows vs. Linux comparisons at the time, which consisted largely of unsupported generalizations like "Linux is about choice" or undecidable debates like whether the GIMP was an acceptable replacement for Adobe Photoshop, or if LibreOffice was a good enough Microsoft Office. I wanted to go in a different direction and examine how technical design decisions in the kernels affected everyday use, which is why there's so much time spent on filenames.

Ultimately, though, it's just a highly selective overview of the operating systems at the time, with a few historical asides. (I'm particularly proud of digging up the part about case-insensitive filenames using less RAM in the DEC SIXBIT encoding.)

I haven't updated it significantly since 2014, so it is probably out of date in spots. However, much of it is still holds true today. I continue to use both Linux and Windows on a daily basis, and I still occasionally run into the same old problems with path lengths, filename restrictions, and file locking semantics.
