From the numbers I've seen, the proposed tax subsidies* are gonna cover _maybe_ 5% of the construction costs of the stadium.

As far as Olympic revenue, I wonder how the stadium's income from a day of the Olympics will compare to a Rams game or a Taylor Swift concert? Supposedly LA isn't giving the stadium any money for capital improvements, just whatever they get for renting it out and a few million for a temporary archery building. Maybe the stadium gets a cut of the $2,000 opening ceremonies tickets, but I imagine that'll be less than they make from the 2022 super bowl. I know a lot can change before 2028, but I'm cautiously optimistic that LA won't screw anything up too bad.

*which IMO are pretty tame— Inglewood pays for police overtime, shuttles to train stations, utilities improvements, etc but only for the first 5 years that the city makes $25+ million from the stadium

I got into an ivy league school and ended up going there because I was offered a fairly generous financial aid package. Then in my final year my grants went from covering 80% of my tuition to practically 0 because my father was working 80 hour weeks and made 5k more than the previous year. I thought I would graduate with around 20K in loans but ended up having closer to 70K because of that.

Russia adds its own twist. Education is free, but all young men except who fail admission exams or drop out at any point in their education are conscripted into the military service.

It used to be two years of service, now it's one. Russian army is not a nice place to be, to put it mildly.

I think current AMD Zen offerings are faster single thread clock-for-clock for scalar code than anything Intel has to offer.

OTOH, AVX2 peak rate is lower for Zen than recent Intel offerings.

Javascript is very likely to be scalar bound, so I think you might currently find the best performance from AMD camp.

I see where I wasn't clear in addressing your point--I am not trying to equate ad tracking with securities fraud or workplace ethics disasters, I am comparing their role in shaping our current behaviors and perspectives.

In general, we didn't foresee the consequences of derivative markets for mortgage backed securities until it was too late, even though some raised concerns. Now we're very well aware, enacting regulations to hopefully prevent it in the future, as well as provide clear channels for recovery and compensation for damages if it does.

In general, we didn't foresee the consequence of unregulated treatment for employees until it was too late, even though some raised concerns. Now we're very well aware, enacting regulations to hopefully prevent it in the future, as well as provide clear channels for recovery and compensation for damages if it does.

Comparing that to the tracking market today, we have effectively zero regulation and zero ability for recovery and compensation. We know the tracking market is so pervasive that meaningful living/working today requires submitting yourself to this. We also have articles like this one demonstrating clear concerns.

The only thing missing is an understanding of the consequences. We can't ever know the scope of the consequences until they've happened. We can however make predictions (both good and bad). It may be just fine, it may not.

Should we take steps now to mitigate the possible bad outcomes? Or should we gamble and let the consequences happen to us?

The same argument goes for most civic debate.

I don't know what a healthy social and regulatory relationship with the tech looks like. I don't believe anyone does yet. I do know that discussing it like we are now improves our understanding of its complexities, and that's always good.

Hope this makes sense.

Concerning the remark about congress--they're fully capable of addressing both. No reason for an either/or.
I might be okay with that, if there was no possibility for ultra-wealth to be inherited from one generation to the next.

Make each generation work hard for their wealth, and you avoid the concentration of wealth that occurs because it is also a concentration of political power, at which point the sole purpose for that wealth and power is to accumulate more wealth and power and give their kids an insurmountable advantage over the next generation of kids.
Hm, was going to purchase one because some of my favorite podcasts, Mac Power Users and ATP, rave about it. I'm not sure how I feel about Eero now.

I would suspect they would change the sport if it started trending towards obsolescence, with things like removing helmets and padding to discourage hard hits (i.e. slowly transform football into rugby).

For what it's worth, you can have two different Google accounts on your phone. One of them uses Fi, the other one "regular" Voice. That's what I ended up doing. And no, you can't make Voice forward to the Fi number, but that's less of a problem now with VoIP.
Apple is still trying with HomePod. It is a nice product, but the price point is crazy stupid. This is coming from an Apple shareholder who loves their premium prices. I don't know anybody who bought HomePod.

I've been waiting for Apple to make a big acquisition for years. Beats!!! Really?
This is off topic so we probably shouldn't talk about it. But I find it humorous that over the past couple of weeks people have been saying Buzzfeed != Buzzfeed News and that Buzzfeed News is actually really high quality journalism. Yet here we have an article from Buzzfeed News and it's total garbage. I see no difference in content quality from the other Buzzfeed.

I think video games have a bigger tent and offer opportunity for notoriety and even celebrity to way more young people than American football. American football is one of the most exclusionary school sports that exists.

I don't have data on this, but it feels to me that young people, particularly boys, are more interested in playing minecraft or fortnite and watching streamer videos of either game than high school, college or professional football.

And it makes sense because it doesn't matter how big you are or whether you can hang in a locker room or what you look like or what gender you are--what matters is you can play a game well or with style.

There are also more opportunities around eSports for young people in that they bundle in cosplay, artwork and even creating training videos and blogs are wide open opportunities to participate at little to no cost and regardless of physical capability.

So are you better talking to computers or to humans? If you like talking to humans than in the long run (over 20 years) you will probably end up a mediocre programmer who will lost interest in the tech. So I suggest that you become a manager as early as possible.

I am yet to find a good programmer that like talking to humans.

I do not believe in line managers. You might have the authority over the technical decisions, but you would lack the deep knowledge that is a function of engaging with the technology, I.e. time.

I have similar feelings whenever people point out that "tax break X favours the rich!" (today, X is 529 college saving plans).

I mean, duh. Half of the US federal income tax comes from 1% households. The rich disproportionately pay tax. If poor people had enough money to pay significant amounts of tax they wouldn't be poor; they only get charged anything to enforce a perception of fairness and give them some skin in the game.

Any tax break is going to favour the wealthy; because as a rule the median tax dollar came from someone wealthy.

> Only a select few games are able to use more than 6 cores

Poorly designed older games. Modern games should be able to use all cores, because Vulkan is available. Something like dxvk for example is using as many cores as reasonable for compiling Vulkan pipelines.

See its config Wiki (dxvk.numCompilerThreads parameter) : https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/wiki/Configuration

So more cores can help for gaming, no doubt. Just depends on the use case.
Very, very hard. The equipment to do this isn't trivial but not complicated and largely available in biohacker spaces or on ebay even. That assumes you know how to make a super virus though, that's very very hard, we don't really know. If you wanted to recreate an existing virus you could, but DNA synthesis companies watch for those sequences so you'd likely be reported to the FBI for trying.

EDIT: I should clarify, this is for human-infectious viruses. Human viruses are hard to grow because they require human cells or higher-organism cells to reproduce. That sort of tissue culture is very hard to do. Doing the mutation screening etc. is also quite hard to do in those viruses. CRISPR helps a bit, but there's a whole lot else that's still quite technically and biologically hard.

People say it’s not falsifiable but I think it’s underappreciated how difficult it is to create a theory where the standard model plus gravity just falls out of it.

The theories are all falsifiable in that they make lots of testable predictions.

The problem is that there is a family of related theories which all produce the same testable predictions at energies we can probe and there’s no way to use an experiment to rule any of them out.

As a Dota 2 player I don't understand how anyone is supposed to take that game seriously when you have to Pay to unlock heroes when the game tried to appeal to hard core competitive players (at least with a ranked ladder and the big tournament it had until recently).

I've long argued that we need a separate court system for medical & healthcare cases.

Our current civil courts aren't set up (conceptually) to consider best available science and standards of care at the time of treatment.

So we get pathological outcomes like overuse of cesarean delivery because one jury one time bought the argument that vaginal births caused cerebral palsy. And there's really no formal way to undo these bad legal precedents.
I gotta be honest, this doesn't look to great to me. Most stores, mid-to-low grocery stores, dont even track inventory completely automatically, let alone something as sophisticated at this.

How are you going to beat amazon that has expertise and actual stores to try this? Where is the tech break-through going to happen without that instantaneous feedback loop?

But going back to the first point..have you talked to target stores? I can't imagine them wanting to sign up on something that has very undefined value, potentially large backlash. They have much bigger problems on their day to day.
I joined the Army to get college money. (Same as my Mom and Dad did.)

I told my kids that I would help pay their college costs if they went after a STEM degree at a local school.

Daughter No. 1 didn't want STEM so she went to a service academy where she majored in social sciences.

Daughter No. 2 is getting a CS degree at a local state school. I am paying for it but she will pay me back.

It's not that hard. We all want things that we can't afford. Some people find alternatives or do without. Others just YOLO.

The bad actors here are the colleges that sell $50K vanity degrees to people that cannot nor will ever be able pay for them.

You are falling into a comfortable trap where it is easier to do the same. If you took the time to learn laravel your development time can be cut in half.
Not sure if it's a good idea.

A better idea in my opinion would be to have 2 versions:

* an "API" version that specifies technical changes.

* a public version more representative of big milestones in the project.

It's roughly what is done in the C/C++ ecosystem with sonames.

But I agree, that's indeed a flaw of SemVer IMHO. According SemVer, even if you are adding tons of new cool and useful features, while maintaining compatibility of existing one, you are not supposed to increase the major number.

From a "social" point of view, it gives the feeling a project is not really active.

And even from a technical perspective, bumping the major in case of significant changes can actually be a good idea.
When I see an X.0.0 release, I kind of expect major changes inside the project, and even if the project remains compatible, significant changes generally bring bugs and instability, in some context it might be a good idea to wait for a version like X.1.4 to remain stable.

With semver, 1.42.0 -> 1.43.0 can be a small add on of one method or tons of new methods. And even 1.2.2 -> 1.2.3 can be an entire rework of the internals, while the API stays exactly the same.

Don't get me wrong, SemVer is great, it has enabled far less painful dependency management and better tooling, but some human and qualitative aspects are lacking in this versioning scheme.
Networking equipment was what I was referring to in my comment. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

I see the parent I replied to mentioned smart home, which I must have missed.

I really believe the story that the HomePod was never meant to be smart home equipment, that that role was saddled on it before release.
If you haven't made a hardware decision I'd also take a hard look at Ubiquiti's Unifi line. They take a little more setup but offer a lot more functionality and future expansion.
thanks, but no thanks. I spent a month building integration with google hangouts, only to see it being deprecated before we could even launch. wasted months fighting with undocumented drive realtime API issues to make it work seamlessly and it was pulled last year without replacement. drive v3 api still does not have ETAG conditional uploads that drive v2 had. never biting that google bait and switch thing with apis again.

> How do you plan to scale content creation? Writing a book on any of the topics you plan to cover would require a lot of time,

TextBooks are usually designed to serve as a reference. They tend to cover everything and has to go under a lot of scrutiny and proofreading before they can be published.

The conversational scripts can be better thought as blog posts which explains topic well but don't go into detail. You might see that the all the initial tracks are in Beta. Initially, the tracks and course content will be minimal and gradually will build up. Course Content will continuously be versioned.

> I'm not sure about your claim that natural language processing isn't necessary,
> Bot replying "correct" to a free-form answer.
That's actually is a response to multiple choice question where the user can select predefined answers.

The chatbot doesn't reply to free form answers in Boolean. To free form answers, it replys with accepted answer.

The free form answers serve two purposes:
1. To provide the user time to infer the result before Primer giving the correct answer
2. To provide the user the opportunity to verbalise his/her understanding in written form so that he/she can find out gaps between his/her knowledge and the accepted answer.

I have detailed in the whitepaper how it is possible. I can show it to with a live application.
> If you don't currently have a cash flow that would allow you to make a $500/month student loan payment, don't take out that loan.

But that describes the majority of students who take out loans to go to school full time. The entire point of the arrangement is that the thing you are taking out a loan for should improve your ability to actually pay off the loan. Our society and culture has encouraged students to go into debt with the promise that it will improve their future. But that is not panning out for many people. When so many people have the same kind of problem, we need to look at systemic causes.

> Only a select few games are able to use more than 6 cores...

Funny, its not many years ago people said games can use just 1 core, then 2 cores, 4... and now 6. Isn't it likely this progression will continue?

Work-stealing queue design in games can use as many cores as you can throw at it (at least until memory bottleneck).
But they don't have to go to college then. They could decide to go to college when they're older.

I think that colleges shouldn't admit you unless you have at least a year or two of with experience. This way people would actually know why they are going to college rather than just treading a familiar path.
Back in college I did exactly this. It was 2004, I couldn't afford a data plan, but my school had a dialup service for resnet and I had free nights+weekends on my cell phone. I spent a lot of family RV trips in the passenger seat with my laptop using my cell phone as an analog modem over Bluetooth, getting free internet access at 9600 bits per second (nominally, slower in reality) browsing with images disabled because otherwise it was just unusable.
Was it worth it? You could have went to a cheaper school?

Marco mentioned just a couple of weeks ago (at least on the live show, not sure if it made the edit) that he was using Ubiquiti APs at his house. This was in reference to having a dedicated "IOT" SSID in your home.
Suppose we replaced Semantic Versioning with any other approach (of your choice) that still disclosed the same amount of information about whether API was identical, had an additive change, or had a breaking change. Would you object to that model too ?

If so, it seems like you'd be effectively arguing that authors should simply not disclose important changes to the API. It is hard to imagine that position being defensible.

If not, why do you consider Semantic Versioning to be more hazardous?
What happens when a marketer sends out a brand message which reaches theoretically maximal returns? Why, nothing. They come to work the next day and try to beat it.

Advertising isn't a job that's just "done" and people walk away satisfied. McDonalds isn't going to stop putting new things on their menu either. Capitalism doesn't really seem to work otherwise... If you produced the optimal product, you have to come back next year and produce an (almost-by-definition) less optimal product and sell it better than you did before.

Most companies do things because people are being paid at that company to do things. The assumption that they do things because they work better or are better should not be so easily believed or sold. I produce content for my employer because they pay me to produce content, not because I think I can produce content which is better than all other content. Just because people are running really hard doesn't mean they aren't going in circles.
