No idea who flagged your next reply but I was going to say that I think the first sentence of it detracted from your otherwise good points in this thread.

I have vouched but I doubt it will have any effect, which I think is a shame because it think that, other than that single sentence, your conversation was constructive.
Can't you just set up your mailserver so that it drops all the crypto headers (DKIM-Signature, ...) after verifying them and storing the result in Authentication-Results? Only your server's Authentication-Results header is really relevant to spam filtering, anyway.

Unless you're debugging something those headers seem irrelevant anyway, and they bloat the messages very much. (often times they are 3-4x the size of actual email)
No but it's a lot like saying "I'm a mechanic but it's too much of a burden for me to change my own oil or tires." I probably wouldn't use your services.
I don't think they suggested it makes it any better.
The problem is yelp has more money for lawyers than a low-margin local restaurant. That's why this should be treated as a criminal matter, with state prosecutors taking down Yelp.
My understanding of the numbers is that < 1% of people will die. ~20% of cases require hospitalization (~10% including asymptomatic infections). It's that hospitalization number that's the worrisome. 10% of the population is way more than the hospital capacity of anywhere - in the U.S. we have about 1 bed for every 300 people, 0.3%.

Without hospitalization a fair number of the 9% that is hospitalized but won't die will instead just die. This is why you see death rates of close to 10% in areas like Lombardy or NYC where the hospital system was overloaded. And even if they don't, they're too sick to go to work. Most industries will have serious problems if 10% of employees call in sick. Then there are issues with people who have non-COVID illnesses (say car accidents) who won't be able to find beds because all the hospitals are filled with COVID patients.

When #FlattenTheCurve came out people had very legitimate criticisms that centered around them doing the math and computing that if we flattened the curve enough to avoid overwhelming the hospital system, we'd be locked down for the next 20 years. Realistically, the only solution was to lockdown, social distance, and wear masks long enough for a vaccine to come out, then vaccinate everyone who hadn't already gotten it. It looks like that'll actually be the outcome in wealthy coastal areas like the Bay Area or New England, but in the middle of the country we'll just overload the hospital system and see what happens.

Is that metadata protected by some sort of mechanism? Or is it just not queried by default using one's browser? I.e., is youtube-dl calling a public, unsecured API, or is it circumventing some sort of copy protection?

Because if it's just querying for metadata that anyone can already query for...your point seems immaterial as to the legality of the tool?

of all "spiritual" beliefs, eternal recurrence seems to make the most sense to me. not in the hindu sense, but the idea that that an infinite number of universes could occur and that the matter that makes up your consciousness could configure itself again to give you the experience of living and sense of self that you have now doesn't seem that far fetched.
Essentially this is the promise of the blockchain. Imagine one massive global database where anyone can store anything in encrypted form. Free, forever.

wtf are you talking about? most laws are proposed, debated in public with riders attached, provisions added/removed, etc. in public.

If FTAs were too and if citizens groups were to have a say we'd be putting provisions for putting tariffs on if environmental and worker provisions are not respected rather than a semi private court process where corporations can sue governments for lost profits.
> Google could launch the process right now by releasing its ancient 2016-era private keys. Since the secrecy of these serves literally no security purpose at this point, except for allowing third parties to verify email leaks, there’s no case for keeping these values secret at all.

I've used Google's DKIM signatures to timestamp call recordings for years by putting a sha256 of the attached recording in the subject, so "literally no security purpose" isn't true!

(though I should probably go through and timestamp those signatures right now them using another method, just in case this guy's idea gains any traction)

> The thing that protects you from blackmail is not getting involved in things you can be blackmailed for.

This is incorrect, because the things that someone can be blackmailed for is not the same as the set of immoral or unethical acts. You can be blackmailed for being gay, or for having a serious medical condition that's undisclosed. Neither of those situations is a "well just don't do that" kind of thing.

The defense against blackmail is to make blackmail difficult (eg release DKIM keys), severely punish people who engage in blackmail, and guard your secrets effectively.

> This is like saying don't lock your doors so that nobody can break and enter into your house.

This is like saying the latch on your fence is a security mechanism. Nobody intended that fence latch to keep your safe or secure and hiding behind it won't make you safer. Rip away the false pretense.

> If the vaccine causes decades-long effects, so will the virus itself. We're damned either way.

Any long-term effects from a vaccine seems unlikely to be as bad as the virus itself.

But still, is that really the answer? That there's no way to know about long-term effects until it's been out there for decades? I was kinda hoping there was an answer like "what we know from other vaccines is that any bad effects almost always show up in first few months -- never, or almost never, many years down the line."
> [everyone] understands that this only affects a small percentage of those who contract it

This is highly questionable. There are many articles (whether factual or not) suggesting widespread lasting effects, e.g. just last week on HN one suggested 1 in 5 patients develop mental illness: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25046157. With all these articles floating around, I just wouldn't agree that there's some sort of consensus that 99%+ of people won't have issues.
How much capacity do you think there is in the healthcare system?

If the healthcare system gets overwhelmed the damage is longe term because doctors and nurses will die and it takes along time to replace them.

I am not a big fan of regulations unless it is to provide more transparency so people can make informed decisions. There should be regulations that require when listing a number for a business that there is a large disclaimer when the number isn’t actually owned by the business. I am sure that will kill this practice.
These are only results of the US-specific lack of welfare protection mechanisms, not a lockdown per se - especially unememployment and to a lesser degree also the negative growth are significantly less accentuated in the other OECD countries.
You do you. But if you think your own willpower is the sole problem, you're just going to stay fat the rest of your life. Knowing the game being played with food is really important to winning the war.

Just like I replied to the other guy, I didn't say your own choices weren't partly responsible, but I heartily disagree that it's solely your own fault. The corporations designing food these days are using science to ensure you stay fat. We should push back against that.
Your first-hand experience isn't universally applicable. Many people live in food deserts or don't have access to reliable cooking facilities. And physical exercise costs time, which for many is lost to long commutes.

As you indicate, though, healthy food isn't intrinsically expensive. That means it shouldn't be an intractable problem.

Well, I'm just arguing that it isn't clear whether this prefactor (that shows up in the metric in front of time) is a property of time or a property of the metric. It is pretty clear that the math wouldn't work if the prefactor was different, though.
out of curiosity (and total legal ignorance)" wouldn't that logic make chrome also illegal? since it's a tool that can be used for circumvention as well. If the defense is that it's not chrome's intended purpose, then one could argue that the defense also applies to youtube-dl since its intended use isn't necessarily to download _licensed_ videos.

Per-app VPNs have existed for some time, and their use case is different from system-wide VPNs. Typically, per-app VPNs are used when you want to grant specific applications access to resources on say a corporate VPN, without granting all applications access to the VPN. Per-app VPNs are also useful if you want to protect a specific app's communications through an encrypted tunnel without affecting the rest of the system.

Comments level getting to deep - trying to reply to a sibling. But 1% of planes crashing kills more evenly across demographics. The 1% here are almost exclusively the elderly and infirm who were contributing (directly anyway) almost nothing to the economy - and in many cases actually being a drain on the economy. Just like the parent comment - I'm not saying they aren't worth saving at economic cost, but just saying that them living also is an economic burden.

Ahh, I am glad I live in the United States, where that sort of response is clearly illegal as it is a violation of multiple rights recognized as natural rights. Rights not granted by the government, but recognized as inherent to being human.

Private parties can discriminate like this, and for better or worse air travel is essentially a private party allowing someone onto their private property, but no law can or should be enacted by the federal government allowing discrimination based off vaccination.

If such a state does enact a law (similar to some states prohibiting religious exemptions from school vaccination requirements), I would be surprised if it didn’t end up being heard in front of the Supreme Court. The one now with a solid majority of constitution originalists.
> With a good amount of effort, a dedicated amateur can reach ~1500 without too much difficulty

I read that kind of argument all over the place in the chess community, and that really strikes me as some kind of misplaced elitism.

ELO can be seen as a glorified indicator of where you stand in the distribution of a pool of players. Math aside, the ELO is a system that allows for the distribution of scores to evolve incrementally as matches are played.

All in all, if you want to interpret an ELO, you can always refer to the corresponding centile.

With an ELO of 1500 you are in the ~80 percentile of your pool (USCF). That places you as better than 80% of players (that are doing tournaments).

This requires a lot of work, and you would definitely not be a "regular amateur player".

The center of the distribution should be around 1200 ELO at the 50th centile.

Imagine what that would mean to be in the top 20% of all basket ball players that play tournaments.
THANK YOU. I also see no reason that OCSP checks cannot support both HTTP and HTTPS. If there is some reason then the protocol should be split into two, one for unencrypted checks for things like SSL certs, and another for all other/ dev cert checks over HTTPS.
They need 2 months of everyone in phase 3 having the vaccine.

Pfizer has about a week longer to wait for that, before they can submit. I haven't seen anything about when Moderna has that, other than really soon.
Honestly, I doubt most people at Apple would disagree with you. Bugs happen. I'm not saying it's good, it sounds like they need to improve testing and QA, make it right for their users, etc. But I'd be surprised if anyone in a meeting at Apple (seriously) said "let's black-screen-of-death the 2013/2014 models."
I had MATE running on both GuixSD and NixOS in 2019. For some reason, it wouldn't detect the F1 through F12 keys my QMK-based keyboard was sending. That's as far as I got before giving up, but it did look promising.

As other commenters said, Ubuntu Mate looks like Ubuntu 8.04, of which I too had my first year-long experience using Linux as a daily driver.
I dunno, many many applications these days are making changes that their users hate, and GNOME is renowned for killing off features. It could be as simple as just blindly following the stupid trends of the industry.
hi there! scylla is great :) we are built on the same framework seastar.io so we literally share code bases in that regard.

Main departure is we are only API compatible. It was an explicit choice to use Raft vs ISR and to not use ZK, etc.

but indeed, seastar is a really fun framework to build storage systems in. I know ceph is also doing a re-write of a subsystem in seastar for example.
1 in 5 get a virus and contract a mental illness? This seems highly suspect.
Haha, so then, if your art is stolen from a freeport, you don't ever pay the taxes.

This makes the hilarious incentive for people to steal their own purchased artwork from themselves, so they can finally display it (while dodging the tax). Or else just claim its still in storage while absconding the work to the manor, etc.

Vaccine manufacturers have a poor track record of releasing dangerous barely tested vaccines onto populations, causing deaths and avoiding lawsuits.

Personally, I am skeptical about this vaccine, or any other rushed out for a disease with a 97% survival rate.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/?utm_campaign=home...

I've had lots of vaccines in my life, the thing is, all those were for diseases that had a high risk of crippling or killing me.

Why would I want a vaccine that is actually less effective than my chances of surviving?

If I get the vaccine, there's a 95% chance it'll work, if I get covid, there's a 97% chance i'll live.

All I know is, if you told someone they had a 97% chance of winning at a casino, they'd be down there in a flash.

Why would I choose to have some barely tested vaccine with not fully studied long term side effects made by companies who have extremely poor track records with medication in general?

Pfizer is bascially responsible for the oxycontin epidemic. Their reps bribe doctors into pushing their drugs.

Moderna's some secretive biotech company that just appeared out of nowhere with this whole covid thing.

What reason do I have to trust any of these companies over the 97% survival rate I can expect from getting covid?

> To borrow an analogy from literature, travelers come upon a door that has writing in a foreign language. When translated, the writing says "say 'friend' and enter." The travelers say "friend" and the door opens. As with the writing on that door, YouTube presents instructions on accessing video streams to everyone who comes asking for it.
> When in fact there is no data at the moment to support their safeness.

That’s patently untrue. We have data, from the phase III trials. Is the data final? No. But it’s good evidence for general safety. As for long-term problems, we have good theoretical reasons (based, in turn, on experimental data) to suspect that no such risks exist. In fact, we know quite a lot about how foreign RNA behaves in cells and while there are potential mechanisms to cause issues (most importantly strong immune reactions), there are no known plausible mechanisms to cause long-term problems.

We can’t fully exclude the possibility of long-term averse effects, but we do have data supporting the vaccines’ safety (both direct and indirect, experimental data), and most experts are confident that there won’t be any such effects — confident enough to put their own health on the line: many are enrolled in the ongoing trials.
They are looking for that one time where people are either not paying attention or are too exhausted to care. What is the saying? We have to win every little battle, but all they have to do is win once.

Considering how they were able to change social media to favor the copyright owners, I'm betting whoever is paying them feels the fees are justified.

The economic impact isn't coming from people dying, its from the measures being used to prevent people from dying. It seems like the economy operates on such a knife edge a little push has serious repercussions. We shut down restaurants because they're a prime locus for spreading. Now those employees are out of a job. The restaurant closes or can't pay its rent, now the owner of the building has knock-on effects.

If we give money to open source lobbyists then they can do the work of influencing the government so that bullies like the RIAA are a thing of the past. It also means that free software gets some legitimate representation, and by proxy the people who contribute to free software either casually or professionally are largely better for it. There's also some merit to the idea that free software cannot depend on corporations and although good will has prevailed here, far too often it hasn't.

If Google did rotate the keys, it's quite likely some enterprising people would log observed keys. With access to a log of keys (that you don't believe has been tampered with) then rotating keys doesn't prevent non-repudation.

An alternative would be for email servers to strip the DKIM headers on inbound emails after recording that the email was validated. The email stored at rest then no longer provides non-repudation. Nothing is stopping you doing this today.
Ehh what a nitpick. Okay I confess I grew up in the Bay Area not Redding or Yreka. Ca is massive so pardon me for referring to the areas most people associate with it, the bay area and La. anyway, yes there are neighborhoods that are monocultures, but they aren’t walled off ghazas where people’s movement is restricted. And even with some areas being clustered, there’s still a lot of dispersion. And that said, again CA is massive like many states, which non Californians probably overlook, and I wouldn’t enjoy living in quite a few areas even in the LA area. Looking at you palos verdes.
Imagine one dimensional space. You are a point tracing some path in space over time. That’s how we experience it. But zooming out and looking at the path itself, you are not really a point (moving through space and time), you are a curve in space and time.

I’m not trying to talk about ideas of self or anything. Just that the same thing can be described in two ways: as a low dimensional thing changing with respect to another dimension, or a slightly higher dimensional object that just is.

Viewed as points changing over time, a solution to the grandfather paradox would be a remarkable coincidence, with everything happening to match up exactly as it had.

Viewed as curves in time, a loop is just a loop. There’s nothing remarkable about a circle. You don’t look at a circle and think “gee what a remarkable coincidence that this infinitely fine path crosses itself perfectly. You just go “yup, it’s a circle.”

Neither of these is a better picture than the other. Everything (things described as 3D things) does move in time. Everything (described as 4d things) just exists.
