There's a recent quasi-exprimental study on that, showing that vitamin-d is likely one of the central factors in better outcomes for severe cases of covid-19:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S096007602...

According to this study, vitamin-d gives better outcome than the other treatments, including hospitalization:

"Regarding care dedicated to COVID-19, only the proportion of patients who received a bolus of vitamin D3 during or just before COVID-19 differed between deceased participants and survivors, with a higher prevalence in survivors (respectively 92.2 % versus 66.7 %, P = 0.023). In contrast, there was no between-group difference in the proportion of patients treated with corticosteroids, hydroxychloroquine or dedicated antibiotics, or hospitalized for COVID-19."

And this has to do with Vitamin-D's role with the ACE2 receptor. SARS-CoV-2 has a binding affinity to ACE2, aggressively invading cells with proportionally higher ACE2 receptors (including the lungs).

In fact, someone had tried injecting hrsACE2 into someone as a treatment -- that is, letting the virus bind to hrsACE2 instead of the ACE2 receptors in the cells.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41392-020-00374-6

A treatment with hrsACE2 isn't generally-available, and needs a lot more study. The logsitics in producing them at scale would need to be solved, if this is a viable treatment. But this looks promising to me.

I'm in no way defending anything google here, I was just stating that Yelp if as bad is not worse than google (as they are more desperate for revenue). And I have no incentive to lie, the anecdote was something that happened to a close friend of mine and know what kind of distress it caused. I have no idea if their corporate strategy is to " extort ", but from noticing other incidents they're not too far off. Their actions like the actions of other big corps are absolutely abusive.
It's just really clear that people in this thread are trying to approach this from first principles without any engagement in the field that they're discussing. That's a fun thing to do as, like, a game or a way to pass the time, and I guess that's what HN is, but it's still crazymaking, because essentially every paper written about messaging cryptography refutes this comment. Cryptographers would like to move people onto GPG? The fact that GPG is non-repudiable and shouldn't be is one of the 2 motivating use cases for OTR, and later Signal. Nobody is trying to get people to use GPG.
> In general, restaurant websites appear higher than their online ordered alternatives, but what's to stop Seamless (for example) from winning the SEO race against a non-trivial chunk of small restaurant websites? This would mean that there are plenty of cases in which you search for a restaurant and end up on Seamless, even though that's not the "right" search result.

This already happens. These platforms go as far as posing as the businesses themselves, using the businesses' names and sometimes even stealing assets from the restaurants' real sites, like the logos or location pictures.

Slice did this to a local pizzeria that opened right before the pandemic hit and has been struggling. It's just so scummy, but the platforms are betting that small businesses don't have the resources to fight them, and they're right.

If I posed as say, Best Buy or Domino's, and created fake websites using their assets, not only would I be dragged into court on civil suits, but I'd be raided by the FBI for trademark and copyright infringement.

Both journalists and investigative groups (and conspiracy theorists) treat DKIM as a sign of authenticity, even when the key material is long past its prime. Wikileaks still prominently displays a "verified" marker next to their archives.

> Did DKIM change anything about the podesta emails? Or were they basically acknowledged as authentic regardless, and had a lot of other verifyable info in them?

That's hard to say, but it's also not the point. The point with being able to crack the key is that a motivated party could intersperse false information with otherwise verifiable information. And, well, what's a conspiracy theorist to do? Only believe the non-juicy parts?

It is true, please provide evidence otherwise. Do you know that the 'safety feature' phones home every single app you use clear as daylight on any network you're on? Your ISP can log what you're using, what time, where from. Apple is supposedly big on privacy, yet this was handled by many engineers who thought it was OK to do. That's called hypocrisy. You should be calling out Apple too.

"Apples platform is based on curation" yep, here it is. That's the iphone developer Mantra. Except were talking macos. What you're saying is nobody can create and run applications without apples signature. That apple gets to control it all.

Whatever happened to developer freedom? The ability to create and share? That disrespect software development, that disrespects it's origins, and instead of seeing how hypocritical that is you create excuses for the company that chokes the life out of it.

These are terrible apologies for the world's richest company. You advocate against yourself by thinking "it's apples way or it's the highway". You willingly give up consumer control and make logical fallacies to ignore having to address the cognitive dissonance.

This is why right to repair is being chosen by voters. If you won't be a responsible consumer then the others who have work to do have no choice but to force apples hand.

I had 2 cofounders in my last company - I agree it's easier.

But so far, building in public has been a great way to replicate some of those benefits without one:

1. I have external motivation to produce results on a weekly basis.

2. I have to be able to justify all my decisions to everyone on the internet (anyone who cares at least...). I end up thinking things through more deeply.

3. I get continuous feedback from others - not nearly as good as a cofounder who's 100% in the business, but still helpful.

There's something different about synthetic D3, and I wish I could get all the benefits that people here claim.

Nat Friedman, Github's CEO, personally joined the #youtube-dl IRC channel and initiated working towards the reinstatement of the project.

And it makes enough people sick enough to require hospitalization to the extent that lockdowns can keep our healthcare infrastructure from being overwhelmed (and driving up deaths because people still get sick, need surgery and treatment for all the non covid reasons and they need access to healthcare too).
I had that misunderstanding at first, too. But as far as I understand it now, this was a trial with ~30,000 people, and they report the first n number of people to get covid. In this case, n=95, and 90 of those 95 were in the control (placebo) group. The assumption is that with an ineffective vaccine, the control/experimental covid ratio would be 50/50, so the heavy skew to the control group is good and significant news. So this is not a sample where just 90 people were given the vaccine, which would be less reliable.
I'm torn.

But someone could threaten to speak to your insurer about a medical condition mentioned in an email.
My main point was that these companies likely had strong hypotheses about how they would grow before building an MVP.

You don't always need to prove out all your growth channels. But it's important to have strong hypotheses and remove at least a little bit of uncertainty around those hypotheses before building.

To each their own!
A counter to the non-repudiation of old emails is the fact that people who own their own mail servers can rotate their DKIM keys. So it's already possible for e.g politicians to have their email set up in such a way that they're insulated from leaks.

The argument here is more that customers of gmail and other email services are not offered repudiation as a feature.
>The economic impact isn't coming from people dying, its from the measures being used to prevent people from dying

I would say the economic impact is from the fact there is a pandemic. Even Sweden, which tried to avoid lockdowns, still saw an economic impact because people will avoid going out during a pandemic.

The fact that businesses are forced to close, or in the other case, that people would have been forced to work during a pandemic for fear of being homeless is a public policy failure.
Thats a very weird example. Those developers should know better than update on the first week of a new OS on their only non-virtualized machine.

I would be surprised if my accountant updates to a new version of Excel within 3 days if it coming out, and would be very disappointed if as a result he wasn’t able to prepare my taxes. The situation you described is similar - someone who should know better throwing their old tools before they know for sure the shiny new one will work.

As a Mac and Linux guy (no more winnndddooows yay!) My Linux machine is my rock, and has been for about 10 years and 3 or 4 hardware upgrades now.

MacOS is really nice, almost as good as Linux and great for those things like photo shop files or those unfortunate days there is no choice but to use MS office.

The only thing I miss about windows since switching my second machine to MacOS is how angry windows would make me every time I tried to do something on it.
I want to write a term rewriter for algebraic equations (just commute, assoc, distr, etc), but I wonder about the UI: the best way for a user to specify which parts to transform?

Here's the obvious ways I've thought of - have I missed some?

- Derivations are usually written as before and after, and sometimes the name of the transform, and the reader must work out the arguments. Could have the program check the transform... but I'd like to save the user all that rewriting...

- You could specify the arguments with a function at that point (using location to address them). Seems just as bad.

- An awkward path through the parse tree to specify each argument is also possible.

- In a GUI, arguments could be selected by clicking.

- The user could name the transform, and the program automatically find where it is applicable, and apply it - or give a list of applications, and the user selects which one. But this is a step towards an automatic theorem prover, and is more automation than I want the user to have.

Are there other ways?
Graylog 4.0
Remember when they took a year off to basically rewrite and optimize Mac OS after 10.5? And they produced a wonderful OS that I’m sure people still have very fond memories of. It didn’t have a lot of new features, compared to 10.5. Steve Jobs even said that publicly a number of times, during that year. He said — and I’m paraphrasing — “that we will work on PERFORMANCE.” All my Macs since 1998 have suffered slow downs on Mac OS updates after say 10.6. 10.6 was the pinnacle of performance.

Every upgrade since 10.10 has had a NOTICEABLE slow down on my MacBook Air 2013, and my 2012 Mac Mini, and more recently my MBP 2017 is showing signs of slow down and reduced battery life as well with each update. They can even be point updates, not major ones.

These happen man, and I can’t see the real benefits that I’ve gotten from say 10.10 -> 10.15 that would outvalue the degradation in performance I’ve seen. Ok you say, a MBA 2013 is ready for the pasture, but a maxed out (RAM, SSD) MBP that is 3 years old is really just entering midlife.

It’s not a random mistake.
It is important to recognize when a person or organization takes corrective action.

Between this and Apple’s response regarding the app signature, these are examples of companies seeing problems and taking steps to fix them.

It is okay to want more or see how it could be an even better response. But the fact that a credible response was executed on should be praised.

They plan to audit all of the take-down requests which is awesome, and it's more than required by law.

I wonder if they'll regret this move. They're shielding developers, but taking the burden on themselves of managing the legal hassle of take-down requests.

As other commenters have pointed out, it sounds like the real problem is that copyright holders can issue these requests without any limit (or maybe even due diligence).
Thanks. I wasn't trying to be inflammatory, but perhaps I need to moderate my language somewhat.
It's not to remind you Coca-Cola exists. It's to make an impression that everybody drinks it and not doing it makes you weird. OTOH, drinking it makes you in sync with what cool people do. "Liking" it is largely a formed habit - I used to drink a lot of Cola, until I realized what it's doing to my body. Now I don't touch the stuff, hasn't been drinking it for years, and I find it absolutely disgusting if I taste it (I did a few of times over the years just to see if I'd find it tasty or not after not drinking it for so long). So it's not like there's some "innate" liking, it's a formed habit, and the ads help you to maintain the habit (or make it hard to quit it).
It should be fairly trivial.

From the issue as described, the value "visa" worked, but "visadankort" didn't. Denmark's earlier, national debit card system is called DanKort. Nowadays, almost all DanKort cards are issued through Visa, so they are "Visa DanKort" -- within Denmark, there's the option to bypass some sort of fee for a lower cost of processing.

Presumably the value "visadankort" is there to distinguish these cards. However, they can be processed exactly as normal Visa cards.

This is not unique to Denmark, there are a list of card prefixes like this (see 4571 for DanKort[1]), but perhaps the different processing fees in unusual.

Sure, nobobody is saying that anxiety disorders aren't a mental illness. But it's also likely the reason why the rate of mental illness was found to be 1 in 5. From your own link, 1 in 5 adults already have anxiety:

So it follows that undiagnosed anxiety disorder would be found in abundance in people recently diagnosed with covid.

You're saying people should avoid tinkering by going from Apple to "Linux", let's assume a desktop, well documented OS with binary package management like Fedora or Ubuntu.

First, this isn't happening to all updates. Second, On a daily basis, Apple stores/support are widely available and with pretty good warranty coverage. Third, the quality of hardware/user experience for the average, non-technical computer user is on a different plane of existence when comparing Apple to non-apple laptops. Screen resolution and the companion software support, battery life, weight, and trackpad are completely unmatched in the non-apple world.

I play games and have used Windows, BSD and Ubuntu as my main drivers at different times over the past 20 years. My Thinkpad is currently on Ubuntu 20.04. My career is IT/Infosec.
