Yelp flags restaurants accused of racism, raising concerns

October 9, 2020 | technology | No Comments

Now Yelp, the platform that has more than 200 million crowdsourced reviews, announced Thursday that it will start flagging businesses that have been accused of racism, a new practice that some critics say could be abused by users.

In a blog post by Noorie Malik, the vice president of user operations, Yelp announced it will affix a “Business Accused of Racist Behavior” alert on accounts only when there is “resounding evidence of egregious, racist actions from a business owner or employee, such as using overtly racist slurs or symbols.” The alert will always be accompanied by a link to a news story from a credible media outlet, Malik wrote.

“As the nation reckons with issues of systemic racism, we’ve seen in the last few months that there is a clear need to warn consumers about businesses associated with egregious, racially-charged actions to help people make more informed spending decisions,” Malik

IT infrastructure and security management company Kaseya have released a two-part report featuring insights gleaned from surveys of both IT leaders and IT practitioners. The two reports—”Technical Priorities for IT Practitioners” and “Strategic Priorities for IT Leaders”–show that members of both sides of IT departments share broad concerns on a variety of issues including data protection and security.

The researchers behind the study spoke with 878 respondents in July 2020, more than 500 of whom were IT practitioners and 335 were IT leaders. According to the survey responses, IT leaders are more concerned with ensuring that operations are always up and running amid coronavirus-related budget shortages, while the managers and technicians working daily with technology are more focused on maintaining productivity using limited resources.

Wizards Of The Coast Responds To Concerns Over Walking Dead Crossover

October 5, 2020 | technology | No Comments

While Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming collaboration with The Walking Dead features some cool cards, it hasn’t been well received by a large number of Magic fans. In a Twitch stream, Wizards of the Coast has addressed community concerns over the Secret Lair drop, as reported by Dot Esports.

While Magic: The Gathering has done limited crossover sets before, such as the Ponies: The Galloping collaboration with My Little Pony, the sets are usually silver-bordered cards featuring only unique art. The Walking Dead set has been revealed as black-bordered cards that are legal in Eternal formats, with mechanically unique cards that’ll open up new options for play.

Fans aren’t happy that such cards have been released in a limited run set–like other Secret Lair drops, the Walking Dead cards will be printed to demand and then never released again. Other MTG players don’t like the idea of mixing Walking Dead lore

New York educators voice concerns about schools COVID-19 data

September 27, 2020 | website | No Comments

Athletes, parents, and coaches are calling for the NYSPHSAA to allow “higher risk” sports to be played in the fall rather than moved to next Spring.

Rockland/Westchester Journal News

A new online tool that publicly reports COVID-19 cases in New York schools could allow flawed information to reach the community, educators warned.

The issue involves a state government website that posts various COVID-19 data for schools statewide, including the number of students, teachers and staff who tested positive. It is run by the Department of Health.

The tally of COVID-19 cases in schools statewide was 229 as of Monday, state health officials said, citing the data reported since Sept. 8.

But school officials suggested the current system for collecting the COVID-19 statistics could result in reporting delays and double-counts in some cases, effectively misrepresenting the risk to the public.

School officials might also struggle to obtain negative COVID-19 testing
