Fewer sets of runways seems like it should be easier, because the runways can be set up to be parallel to each other, so planes can all come in on the same approach and land in parallel. That's how they do it in Phoenix, with three parallel runways.

With more airports, you have planes all going different directions instead.

Besides, it seems like it'd be better to push some of that air traffic away from the city center, and free up some extremely valuable real estate. If they'd put in some better public transit to those two airports, people would be able to get in and out of the city a lot faster. Why can't they build actual subway lines to them anyway, instead of having to make slow and crappy, special trains to them which aren't on the main lines and then require time-consuming transfers?
I would like to offer the controversial response that we all have a responsibility to act morally, all the time. "It was legal" should never be an excuse.
> The leaders of North Korea fought to liberate the peninsula from the Japanese

What "leaders of North Korea"? The peninsula was not divided until the end of World War II and the surrender of Japan.

This sounds like a fiction invented by the regime.
I would claim I had legal possession of the tickets due to the fact the seller had accepted my money, and that when the value appreciated, that was therefore my value, not theirs, and that ~$5000 was stolen from me.

I won't guarantee victory because of course I can't, but this strikes me as a fairly basic argument about possession suitable for a small-claims court, not a bizarre legal theory.

By contrast, had I merely "reserved" the tickets but no money transfer had occurred, in a transaction clearly labeled as a "reservation subject to cancellation", I'd expect the court to tell me to go pound sand and that I was lucky to get coupons in that value. But buying a ticket on StubHub looks and feels like a purchase, not a reservation subject to arbitrary cancellation. StubHub's terminology is all about "Buy" and "Sell" on their website, not "Reserve". (Just checked to be sure.)
I figured it'd be nice to only ever have two-day work stretches. I didn't put much thought into it, just decided to try it and I've been happy with it so far. I feel a lot more energetic on thursdays and fridays now.
My whole point is that no matter how transparent the "sucks to be you" clause is, it's still a terrible way to run things and they should stop disclaiming responsibility.
Just stop. You are giving dangerously wrong advice. Avoid all carbohydrates? So you mean, don't eat any fruit or vegetables, instead eat excessive protein and fat which are known to cause cancer, diabetes and heart disease? No, thanks!
I'm a season ticket holder for an NBA team that runs its own secondary market for tickets. I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, I can't use services like StubHub to list my tickets for sale because the tickets are locked down into the secondary market account. On the other hand, I've never seen crap like this happen on there.

I was lucky/smart enough to list all the games I couldn't attend at multiples of face value and adjust the price as the game dates come closer. This worked out well with my tickets to the game against the Lakers because they sold pretty quickly after Kobe's announcement. I definitely didn't get full market value for them, but people were getting their tickets poached at far less because they set them for a pre-retirement announcement value. Since the Lakers stink and it was a weekday game, that value was probably below face value.

But with the market we're forced to use, you can't take your tickets back, which is clearly a good thing.

>and an Oculus Rift.

Well, its a telepresence robot, which means it will be at arbitrary locations doing its job. How many places have the type of reliable low-latency, high-bandwidth, low packet loss, etc wifi network to give a reliable Rift experience? I mean, we can barely do this with the powerhouse of high-end video cards via hdmi. How can we transmit a high quality 1440p per eye at 60fps over the common internet? Maybe 25mbps per eye with a lot of compression, so a good 55mbps with overhead? Note, this is live video so no buffering past a few dozen milliseconds. We can't without some really dedicated connections and a wifi client>AP relationship with little to no interference. You're not getting this in your average office or other common telepresence locales. You sure as hell aren't getting it over 3G/4G.

I don't think people appreciate how exotic HMD's like the rift are. We can't just plug them in anywhere. For the 3D effect to "work" you need high resolutions and high framerates. If you can't get that, then a normal screen should be used because its a waste of resources and a waste of time strapping that thing to your face.
I did have fair share of trouble with my own apple hardware. My mid-2010 mac mini required me to create a modified ISO with EFI booting disabled, and it took me a while to figure out how to get sound working on the HDMI output; my old macbook pro has kernel panics on startup that I never figured out, and my new macbook had trouble getting wifi set up; and I have yet to configure the trackpad to get it to work the way I want it to. There are a lot of other people that have struggled through issues, though, and so the bbs.archlinux.org forums and the wiki docs are helpful, but I had to do a fair amount of trial and error and figuring stuff out myself to get what I did running.

I'm currently using custom-built desktop systems (which run arch linux like a dream; most everything just worked out of the box) for most of my daily work, though, and my longer-term plan is to sell off my mac hardware and replace it with hardware that runs linux with less fuss.

> in such a way that it is physically impossible for the seller to take back ownership without the cooperation of the buyer.

I'm not sure how this is logistically possible without the seller sending SH tickets when he or she wants to sell them, in which case we'd just be reading an article about how SH accidentally sent out $6k in tickets that were never paid for.

Fibre is carbohydrate. Protein isn't that important - WHO recommends just 10% of calories be protein. Fat isn't as scary? I assume you meat saturated and trans fat found in almost all processed and animal foods - avoid them at all costs for optimal health.
Exactly what they are trying to make you think. ;)
They also have the following policy for sellers:

"If your tickets have sold but you cannot fulfill the order (also referred to as 'dropping a sale' or a 'dropped sale'), StubHub may charge your payment method an amount equal to 20% of the price of the ticket sold to compensate us for the losses we incur to meet our obligations under the FanProtectTM Guarantee. In some cases involving dropped sales that result in unusually large losses to StubHub (for example, dropped sales involving large numbers of tickets or tickets with significant price appreciation), however, StubHub reserves the right in its sole discretion to charge your payment method the full amount of the replacement costs StubHub incurs under the FanProtectTM Guarantee (including costs in excess of 20% of the ticket price)."

They have given themselves the ability to make this right and go after the seller for the costs of it, but they are choosing not to, screwing the buyer instead. They will of course happily pocket this 20% fee and the additional higher fees on the eventual sale of the tickets at the higher price, whether on this account or another (if the seller is banned).

"2. Buyers should be more aware of the fact that Stubhub is only a marketplace, and they are really at the mercy of the seller."

Why should buyers be aware of this when Stubhub advertises a "FanProtectTM Guarantee"?! Stubhub shouldn't be advertising one thing on nearly every page of their website and then disclaiming in their TOS.

Also, Stubhub has come out to say that they'll get this guy to the game. No mention of changing policy to make sure it doesn't happen again though.

The point isn't the vaporize them, it's to nudge them ever so slightly.

Consider a comet- you fire one or more lasers to a specific spot on the comet, causing heat. The heat causes the water to expand, and shoot off from the comet. Does this destroy the comet? Certainly not much of it. But as that water vapor shoots away from it, Newtons Third Law comes into play and the comet, ever so slightly, is pushed in the opposite direction.

You may rightfully say that this would be a very minuscule push, so what good will it do? Well, if you play Kerbal Space Program you'll quickly learn that tiny nudges can have huge effects in the long-run, especially on big orbits. Add a few mm/s to the velocity of a comet two years ahead of time, and it can make the difference between that comet hitting a planet, or not. It can mean the comet is ever so slightly closer to Jupiter, causing it to be pulled by its gravity just a bit more.

That may be true for the technical side of things. However, don't forget your earning power (including willingness/energy to put up with dread work) and possibility to build your professional network. Building savings takes time, esp. if you have or want family. Throwing your best years at your own projects has some risks.

There's also the emotional side to consider. There's a danger of falling into a rut when you have put a lot of effort into something and nothing / or not much to show for.

I'm a long-term side project builder myself. I have been freelancing all my life and taking time off between projects to build my side projects. I never hang in long enough though, which could be the reason why none of my ideas have taken off yet.

But I have to say that I have now basically accepted that my side projects are for fun only and my freelancing is for building my egg nest. And that feels quite good. I think I'd only go into a ownership based startup with the right partner and business model.

After three years I'd surely try to put my project on auto-pilot and do some paid work. Also to gain a new perspective on things.

Not to take anything away from the product (it's great) or determination.

It's certainly true that you didn't see the deification of the head of state as part of Nazism or Italian fascism. But it was very much part of the imperial Japanese ideology which might or might not be fascist depending on how you define the term. So you could easily argue that Japanese or North Koreans aren't really fascists. You can even argue about whether the Nazis were truly fascist but where their own thing.

I can't say I'm particularly familiar with Yukio Mishima and his coup attempt but I imagine the ideologies have to evolve when they don't have a Kempeitai working on their side behind the scenes.
A lot of tickets are just in time to the seller. When I have been to the Kentucky Derby for example, I bought 2 day tickets on StubHub that will not ship to the seller until 2 weeks or so before the event. I then resold the other day on the ticket either on StubHub or Ebay.

I imagine for some events there is this entire chain of sell/buy/sell/buy going on.

Arch Linux is not exactly ideal for security and it requires too much technical knowledge to offer privacy for the masses.

The unfortunate reality is that non technical uses will never achieve the same level of privacy and security as technical ones.

I personally feel like I have no choice Windows is collecting way too much data for me to be conformable using and Apple is just a benevolent dictator for now it can change its mind at any point and you wouldn't be able to do anything about it so I see Linux as the only choice.

Not to mention that most development tools i use these days are way easier to use on Linux then on Windows.

If I need Photoshop or some software that only runs in Windows I can always run them in a VM.

> The question is not whether or not you're as productive, but rather, are you more than 80% as productive as you were before.

Absolutely, that was what I was trying to convey (productivity per hour rather than total productivity) but it was poorly worded. A lot of discussion around shortening the work week focuses on the latter. While there may be cases where that's true, I think focusing the discussion on that is wrong because it assumes that there has to be an economic argument for making the change. For me, people having more free time is a positive in itself that society should probably optimise more for.

I am certainly not less productive per hour worked. I might be more productive, I don't know, but that should not be the only reason we contemplate such a change.

Just as during WWII, during WWI, the British had a very sophisticated interception and decryption program[1]. Its capabilities were also kept secret for long after the war and the Germans remained largely ignorant of how thoroughly their codes had been broken. I think if the work during WWI had been revealed earlier, the Germans would have been more careful and would have avoided repeating some of the mistakes of WWI. It was shown to be a wise policy after WWI, so I'm not surprised that they continued it after WWII, especially with the start of the Cold War.

Indeed, at some point the situation with IPv4 will become so grave that it will become impossible to ignore IPv6. Transitioning to something like BangIP might be much easier, but it will be impossible to force people to adopt it, which will only lead to fragmentation. IPv6 might cause massive fragmentation on the internet right now, but once the IPv6 gets closer to 100% we can start dismantling the IPv4 infrastructure, which will force the remaining few to switch to IPv6. There's no way to do that with BangIP, as it involves keeping the IPv4 infrastructure intact, which will allow people to continue browsing a large part of the web and thus there will be little to no reason for a lot of people to switch to BangIP. In the end IPv6 will be a much better solution than BangIP.

Not sure you can hold a marketplace to the same standards of a company delivering its own product.

I don't need to reed any user agreement to know that. And Stubhub is clearly a marketplace.
I would assume this site is just the same as eBay or Airbnb. I know that are some responsibilities of a marketplace, but I also know that I'm ultimately trusting the other transaction part (not the marketplace).

If I think this risk is too high, I don't use a marketplace (personally, I never bought anything through eBay or equivalents myself precisely because of this).

Rational or not, it's somehow creepier when an OS is doing it, as opposed to most of the crunching being done on Google's servers.

If you have any feeling at all for how an OS operates, Windows 10 with default settings has the air of someone creepily muttering to themselves and fidgeting with something under the table (half the time some component is eating 20% of the CPU). Then the second you walk away they spring up and maniacally run into a closet and commence making mysterious banging noises (walk away and some component spins up to 100% CPU and stays there, fans commence howling). You walk back into the room and there they are - sitting, red, panting, comically failing at looking nonchalant. It's a unique combination of creepy and comical, all in all.

Whereas with Google docs, you really have to know what you're looking for to see manifestations of all the tracking, though of course that doesn't make it better.
