Maybe it's a red herring, but I always wonder how much infrastructure spending that would have gone into surface building (roads and bridges) has instead gone into subsurface building (deep underground military bases and the tunnels connecting them). Spending for the latter is buried in the black budget so actual numbers aren't available but it has to be huge and it's been going on for decades.
Most athletes don't exactly need a lot in the way of individual infrastructure to train. A marathon takes a lot of space for the event, but training is just some place to run. Further, the host city's pay for the actual Olympic infrastructure.

The real issue is each sport may have thousands of hopefuls and there is no way to support them all. However, if they did open the way for discrete individual branding that could go a long way to cover the most competitive athletes. As it stands you get the occasional Phelps who is set, and a lot of broke hopefuls.

Depending on your situation, you might want to lean towards FastSpring or the other full services - from memory one of Kagi's value-adds was collecting the appropriate tax when selling to certain countries (ie collecting and remitting VAT when selling to customers in the EU).

[I'd actually recommend talking to FastSpring - they used to provide a concierge service to setup the order form for you, and they have a system where they can ping a licence key generator on your server (eg in PHP), much like what Kagi did. I'm happy to try to answer questions if you or anyone else gets stuck, contact details in my profile.]
For me there are some issues that prevent me from switching such as opening large text files (>100 Mb), international keyboard layout problems (Atom doesn't honor some keybindings when they are typed differently than in US keyboards) and problems returning focus after compiling LaTeX documents. So for the time being I'll stick with ST3 which doesn't have these issues.
Canary (https://canary.is) | New York, NY | Data Platform Engineer | Full-time | ONSITE

We're the innovative home security company that grew out of a crowdfunding
campaign[0] and brought to market our easy-to-use and user-friendly video
monitoring solution. Canary combines the latest advances in computer vision,
learning, and data science to help our users live more secure lives.

I lead the data engineering team at Canary, and am looking to grow this team in
pursuit of making our home security devices faster and smarter. Canary's

temperature, air quality, and humidity - that produce a continuous second data
stream in addition to the visuals captured by each device.

Our team builds the data pipelines and underlying infrastructure that brings in
and securely houses this data. As you can imagine, security is a first-class
concern in everything we do. This creates many fascinating technical
challenges, from crypto to network security to hardening of applications. We're
all passionate about doing right by our users, and this passion shows in our
designs, code, and planning.

Please have a look at the job posting[1] if you're interested in learning more
about the team and what we do. I'm also happy to answer any questions - e-mail
is in my profile.

Certainly there exists a value X where 100-X percent of the population is not engaged at all and is little more than a source of random numbers or demographic counts.

If X is 10% then its an excellent measure of the will of the actively thinking electorate and its not the fault of the statistician that Americans don't care about politics.

If X is 50% or so then there's 4 semi-motivated voters per primary voter which is getting fuzzy.

Note that about 20% of the population vote in non-presidential elections and 50% vote in presidential elections. I'd propose that the delta is due to tradition and heavy social signalling to get out the vote, but that 30% don't really care and absent intense PR activity in support of voting, would not vote. Unfortunately 20% is too high to clearly support the first criteria and 20% is too low to support the second criteria.

I think its really annoying that there is no mathematically trustworthy answer to is 9% enough. Annoyingly its probably good enough to not be ridiculously far off and bad enough to not be correct a significant amount of time.
NBA, NFL, MBA, UFC.... all make loot while only paying lip service to doping controls.

UFC has only recently brought in WADA, and NBA, NFL and MBA all have strong enough players unions that actually protect the athletes desire to use PEDs. There is some testing in the major US professional sporting leagues, but IMHO it is only there to constrain the guys from going buck wild with the steroids.

Most high level athletes in sports that fall under IOC umbrella are enrolled in the biological passport program and have many, many, annoying, out of competition doping controls where they take urine, blood and hair samples. Think of being woken up at 5 am for a blood test while on vacation. They have to supply there exact whereabouts for months in advance and if they can't be found they will suffer a suspension equal to a failed doping control. Vastly different than Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds.
OK, that's a rough argument that needs fleshing out. Has the rigorous argument actually been made and is widely accepted by economists or is this just a meme that's accepted and repeated without much basis?
It's hard, for me, to imagine what they would do differently than UDP (because it's minimal, just two port numbers).

Having not yet read the spec for the QUIC protocol, there must be some amount header that would immediately follow the eight UDP bytes. So, assuming that QUIC takes off and gains broad support, then all that would have to be done is give it a new IP protocol number and redefine what is the transport layer and what is session/application layer.

Chrome 52: return old backspace behaviour
Interesting stuff and a good technical overview. I remember hearing something about this a while ago but I hadn't seen the details. I found the time spent on the need to unblock 443/udp on server firewalls amusing because that's the absolute least concern I would have about the protocol.

I know Google has the most genius geniuses working for them, but it's important to be wary of the risks of this sort of thing. Not that TLS/SSL itself has a fantastic track record, but replacing the TLS handshake with something new and shorter and mixing it with a protocol that can accept incoming packets from multiple source IPs sounds like a recipe for a thousand new security vulnerabilities. If not in Google's code, then in the other implementations. Researchers, take note.
I enjoy playing sports just fine. And I enjoy some degree of spectator sports -- the more closely tied I am to the community and team, the better.

But some years ago, I made a simple decision: I no longer support any form of professional sports. And, sorry Olympic Committee, but what you have there are professional sports. With all the graft and corruption and self-centeredness I refuse to support.

As for the athletes? It has been quite apparent for considerable time what you're signing up for. And... many people lose their job, their career, every day. Individual, personal appeals are not going to sway me.

I do feel for those who use sports to climb out of disadvantageous situations. However, at this point society needs to find a better solution to this that the "going pro" lottery.

Not like my individual decision is going to lessen their chances, anyway. But if and when society starts to say "enough", maybe society will also find fairer means of providing opportunity.

We may be using the word "representing" differently.

I took it to mean "those 9% are statistically representative of the majority of americans views/choices/opinions/desires/whatever".

Where as it seems you meant it as "those 9% represent a plurality of the votes cast in the primaries." Yes?
Short clarification of the link:

In order to help beginners learn programming we have developed CLARA - a tool that automatically generates feedback for simple programming problems.

We need help for evaluating and improving CLARA. Especially valuable will be help from beginner programmers.

On the link you can find a web interface, where you can attempt to solve some easy programming exercises, receive automated help and tell us how useful the generated feedback is. We estimate that solving an exercise takes around 5 min.

"The VT-100 console used to enter Therac-25 prescriptions allowed cursor movement via cursor up and down keys. If the user selected X-ray mode, the machine would begin setting up the machine for high-powered X-rays. This process took about 8 seconds. If the user switched to Electron mode within those 8 seconds, the turntable would not switch over to the correct position, leaving the turntable in an unknown state.
...
It’s important to note that all the testing to this date had been performed slowly and carefully, as one would expect. Due to the nature of this bug, that sort of testing would never have identified the culprit. It took someone who was familiar with the machine – who worked with the data entry system every day, before the error was found."
"But I suppose you've never complained about anything in your entire life. You just accept what you're given, because no one is forcing you to do it."

No, I lived my advice. When I was in high school, I took a sober look at my "dream job" of somehow composing music professionally, realized my talents and skills didn't put me in the requisite top .001% or so to make a decent living at, and switched to something that still brings me great satisfaction, while also letting me make a living. Everything about the subsequent 20 years has convinced me that was a great decision.

The problem with your post is that while you're collecting the emotional feel-goodz of saying something you think virtuous and enjoying the brief frisson of attacking me for saying the badthink, you're offloading the costs of that rather brief and fleeting pleasure onto the Olympic athletes and their significant privations so you can say that. I find it morally abhorrent for people to take brief pleasure in saying things and feeling morally good about it at the cost of other people having to pay the costs of living good chunks of their life in poverty. (See also advocating college while sneering at the idea that one should obtain a marketable skill from it.)

Stop idolizing the Olympics, and people will stop sacrificing their lives to it.

And think about what you're really asking people to do before spouting mindless rah-rah "Follow your dreams!" stuff. It's not consequence-free.

There are lots of professionals in other Olympic sports. Track and field, volleyball, swimmers, basketball, sailing, handball, etc. Usain Bolt is definitely a professional athlete (a sprinter) and so is Marina Alabau (a sailor) or Zhang Jike (a table tennis player).

Regarding compensation, it depends on the country, but I think many will get a bonus payment for medals or good performance. But anyway, the real money lies in advertising deals that athletes can get once they become big names (except for countries that have other types of compensation systems, e.g. North Korea).
