I don't understand how this helps.
Defining a subset of unicode to accept does not obviate the need to check that values conform to type definitions.
Readit NewsAdvising people to exercise doesn't work and doesn't scale. Gyms are for people who have plenty of intrinsic motivation and money and time.
To improve physical activity at the population scale and over a lifetime, it literally has to be built into the design of the cities, so people get enough exercise while walking to work or grabbing groceries.

> Advising people to exercise doesn't work and doesn't scale.
Agreed, in so much as telling people to exercise leads to a relatively small increase in the number of people exercising.
> Gyms are for people who have plenty of intrinsic motivation and money and time.
I'd say yes most people who regularly exercise at a gym have some kind of intrinsic motivation, but that's generally true of anyone with any activity.
Gyms with almost any kind of equipment, classes, and amenities are absurdly cheap: ~$30 / month. For the vast majority of Americans, that cost is well within a reasonable budget.
Time: TFA's time of 3 hours a week as an example is not insignificant but I wouldn't categorize it as extreme or "plenty of time." This investment could easily take from the amount of time Americans spend sitting and looking at a screen for entertainment. (Saying this as an American)
> To improve physical activity at the population scale and over a lifetime, it literally has to be built into the design of the cities, so people get enough exercise while walking to work or grabbing groceries.
I'm a bit more cynical as I believe a significant increase in the percentage of Americans who get a good amount of exercise is extremely unlikely. Any program or proposed change to policies necessary to affect such a change is DOA.
People don't go to a gym because the vast majority of folks are uninterested in exercise for exercise' sake: they want to look good. Unfortunately, improved physical appearance due to exercise takes longer than folks expect it to take.

I predict one of the surprises, to some people anyway, is going to be that autonomous vehicles don't clog city streets. Uber's CEO recently remarked that Waymo vehicles complete more rides per day than 99% of human ride hailing drivers. The Waymo fleet in each of its service areas is remarkably small. It's an easy bet that a fully mature Waymo operation that competes toe to toe with human power ride hailing will need only a fraction of the number of human drivers in personal vehicles.
I wonder what the number of passenger-transporting miles driven per hour is.
It seems likely that the 99% number is due to running more hours than a human per day.

I wonder if a business could be successfully sued for denying service to people OVER a certain age.
It's interesting that age seems to be a protected class if you're above a certain age and not below.

I love LLMs. And this is just too funny.
This is not true. I believe you if you say it's true in your area, but in most places it's not. I'm a traveling healthcare worker and I usually can't find a gym for under $80. There may be some that advertise cheaper prices, but that always comes with hidden fees which make them about the same as the expensive gyms.
For instance, Blue cross has Blue365. You can get significant discounts. See here:

You're definitely right though for non-discounted prices, it seems they're up to 55-60 now unfortunately.
