Nope, the vast majority of college athletics programs are unprofitable, even large ones:

https://www.politifact.com/virginia/statements/2014/dec/22/j...

> There are 346 Division I schools. Of them, 123 are classified as members of the Football Bowl Subdivision, the top tier of sports competition. These are colleges and universities that are eligible to compete in bowl games and have average attendance of at least 15,000 at their home games. [...] "A total of 20 athletics programs in the FBS reported positive net revenues for the 2013 fiscal year."
I know they're stated, that's where I got the info from!

Unfortunately every year people start taking the results from these and jumping to conclusions, like practically everyone is a full-stack, Node JS developer who contributes to open source 7 days a week. We know that's not true but it doesn't stop article after article every year claiming things like that.

Reminds me of how Central Park is on land that was taken from a predominantly black neighborhood called Seneca Village. The government used eminent domain to strip the residents of their land. Where would those black families be if they were allowed to keep that land in the heart of NY?
> Slack has been aggressive in the past sending C&D letters

Could you elaborate? Slack provides client tokens and they don't seem to forbid that in the way Discord does (in fact they explicitly provide client tokens via OAuth).
That means the discord users would be in violation. The creator of the client doesn't have to abide by those terms as they are not consuming the discord service. Merely providing a tool to do so.

Selling with the enemy: Why rival retailers embrace Amazon.com
Well don't leave me hanging, why is it?
tl;dr: I was hit by a driver using his phone, I was found guilty.

Last week I was changing lane in a very slow traffic traffic jam, I turn the left sign, the driver completely stops. I assume this as he giving me space to enter, I slowly enter. He then starts driving forward slowly, he starts approaching, I'm puzzled. I realize he is driving with his phone on his face. Completely unaware that I'm in his lane. He hits. We talk, he starts saying I jumped in front of him, I just tell him he did not see me because he was on the phone. He agrees and he apologizes. We exchange information and go back home. It was only some scratches in our cars.

Later I do the insurance claim (we both had the same insurance company), and I discover that in his report he omits about the phone. I now I have to prove that he was one the phone and I have not jumped with my car in front of him. I could not prove that. I do have a front dashcam but only a very good and specifically placed dashcam would capture such proof. The insurance found me guilty.

I don't know what was the lesson here, maybe always get a police report. Contacting the police at the moment had not crossed my head because it was was not a big deal, the driver sounded reasonable (apart from the fact he was using the phone while driving), and there was something going on that was causing the traffic jam and required the police in the first place.

Doing that would slow me down, my textual thinking is obviously much faster than my visual thinking (or it’s just because I’ve never practised this)

I just tried to imagine the layers of the app I’m working on as a stack of blocks and it felt like a lot more effort and a lot slower than how I normally think about it, in which the descriptions of the different layers all pop into my head at once, and I can kind of cycle between which one is at the forefront of my mind. I can do this pretty much without effort
What do you all think of the @font-face font? In other threads, many people here normally dislike web fonts (for example, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19607169).

Usually I'm with you, except for a few fonts like Google's EB Garamond (https://fonts.google.com/specimen/EB+Garamond) and the one used here, ET Book. I think these are better than Times New Roman or Georgia, the two serif fonts I have to choose from if I don't go with web-imported fonts.
>I've gone back to my seedbox, nas and kodi.

I use a good digital tuner (HDHomeRun) hooked up to my rusty old 1950's rooftop antenna usually using KODI as front end, it's awesome and satisfies my live TV need which is very minimal. I couple that with real-debrid which offers plentiful and reliable supply of cached 4K (actually high bit rate) torrents and it's a much better experience than any of the alternative, crappy, ad-laiden streaming services I've paid for. Once KODI has seamlessly integrated voice control it will be in a league of it's own. I'm not sure how services like real-debrid can work out such great licensing terms to allow their offer of such affordable, ad-free and limitless content catalogs but I assume it's a very technical, economy-of- built-for-scale redundant kubermnetes based on-demand cloud container architecture benifit that wouldn't interest me anyways so I'm not even gonna try and understand it ;-)

One example is if suddenly you would require to inherit from the same object multiple times. Example - if you have a "team" object, you might at first inherit it from a list/set (as a team could be a list of members). However, later down the line, you might also want to model backups for your team. You can't inherit from list/set again, so what are you going to do? It it much cleaner in general to avoid inheritance as much as possible and only modelling the data as internal, not publicly-accessible state (by composing smaller state objects). Inheritance on the other hand (in most languages), can make your data model more visible from the outside.

This isn't to say there aren't valid use cases for inheritance (eg. runtime polymorphism), though if something can be accomplished through composition, it's usually the better approach as it only modifies inner details of an object, and not the external interface (of which the inherited classes are part).

In my experience, there was no mention of the broader historical origins of Canada, the focus was generally on a) stories framed to make French Canadians look interesting and blameless (especially long sections on coureurs de bois), and b) stories of amicable arrangements with native Americans, conveniently away from the various times the public's government has broken promises to various communities in Canada.

I'm an adult, why would I have the worst history books I've ever read, which were on loan from the school when I was in school, in my personal library to share specifics from?
That would be a reasonable assumption BUT if you read the OP’s reply below he explicitly gave a meaning that’s not what you inferred. So I think my observation was still fair.
My imagination is not the best, but when I am really high on marijuana and I close my eyes, I can imagine alls sorts of absolutely gorgeously bright and photorealistic visuals. I can imagine anything with remarkable photorealism during that state of mind. It's semi autopilot and spontaneous, though. My imagination also becomes very strong right before I'm about to fall asleep. When I'm sober, my imagination takes effort and is hazier, and not creative.
I also want to ask people with Aphantasia, what do their dreams look like?
I'd say the reports of San Francisco being a dystopian hellhole are rather exaggerated. It's a lovely city. We get similar complaints about Seattle, and I can confirm that it is also not nearly as interesting as the sensationalized reporting pretends it is. Rent isn't cheap, but that's because people WANT to live in these places.
Yes, but that's it. No "past year" or custom ranges.
I don't think your test is all that good. If I'm out with friends, I try to consciously avoid using my phone when we're together so that I'm present and so that they know I value their presence. Those 15 seconds at the urinal are often the best time to check notifications before getting back to phone-free socializing.

Agree with your other points though.
My neighbor was killed walking on sidewalk in a parking lot. Driver was staring at phone in his lap and missed turn, plowed directly into him. Put your goddamn phone away... and trying to "hide it" in your lap is worse than just holding it up in windshield.

I'm one of those people but for the opposite reason. If I'm with someone I don't look at my phone at all. When I step away to use the restroom it's my chance to check for any missed notifications.
> it's an imperfect mix ... others interested in this topic will get involved with criticism ans suggestions here on on our forum...

It's a great start! Lots of programs and services I wasn't aware existed. There are some services I'm familiar with that I don't think belong on the list (given my own interpretation of ethical as it relates to modern computing) and am happy to see that suggestions are welcomed via the community forums.

Surprised & delighted to see sections like Organizations, Magazines and Newsletters, Books and even Films - since most similar lists focus on applications instead of voices.

It's these extra sections that really highlight and bring together the larger community concerned with these issues and helps open my eyes to other issues that don't normally penetrate my bubble of news.

I can see most of these sections growing to include many more sites. The only immediate suggestion - short of separating the sections into their own pages - is a "detailed" list view to help make the information more manageable.
I'll admit that I heartily agree with you there. I think my only point was that marketing is not inherently bad. It's just the extremes that we take it to.

Our dreams are the same. Dreaming actually activates the visual cortex, so it doesn't depend on imagination. We also get hypnagogia.
That all comes with some strings attached, as the very same people who negotiated that compromise in US have noted:

"If a pertinacious minority can control the opinion of a majority, respecting the best mode of conducting it, the majority, in order that something may be done, must conform to the views of the minority; and thus the sense of the smaller number will overrule that of the greater, and give a tone to the national proceedings. Hence, tedious delays; continual negotiation and intrigue; contemptible compromises of the public good. And yet, in such a system, it is even happy when such compromises can take place: for upon some occasions things will not admit of accommodation; and then the measures of government must be injuriously suspended, or fatally defeated. It is often, by the impracticability of obtaining the concurrence of the necessary number of votes, kept in a state of inaction. Its situation must always savor of weakness, sometimes border upon anarchy.

...

It is not difficult to discover, that a principle of this kind gives greater scope to foreign corruption, as well as to domestic faction, than that which permits the sense of the majority to decide; though the contrary of this has been presumed. The mistake has proceeded from not attending with due care to the mischiefs that may be occasioned by obstructing the progress of government at certain critical seasons. When the concurrence of a large number is required by the Constitution to the doing of any national act, we are apt to rest satisfied that all is safe, because nothing improper will be likely to be done, but we forget how much good may be prevented, and how much ill may be produced, by the power of hindering the doing what may be necessary, and of keeping affairs in the same unfavorable posture in which they may happen to stand at particular periods.

...

It may happen that this majority of States is a small minority of the people of America; and two thirds of the people of America could not long be persuaded, upon the credit of artificial distinctions and syllogistic subtleties, to submit their interests to the management and disposal of one third. The larger States would after a while revolt from the idea of receiving the law from the smaller. To acquiesce in such a privation of their due importance in the political scale, would be not merely to be insensible to the love of power, but even to sacrifice the desire of equality. It is neither rational to expect the first, nor just to require the last. The smaller States, considering how peculiarly their safety and welfare depend on union, ought readily to renounce a pretension which, if not relinquished, would prove fatal to its duration."

(Federalist Papers, #22)

This was originally written to explain why one-state-one-vote arrangement that existed under the Articles of Confederation was not an acceptable arrangement. But it clearly applies to EC and similar systems as well - the only question is where the "fatal" line is.

Whites make money. We make whites feel bad. Whites spend money to feel better. Or something. Who cares as long as whites spending money is involved.

the linked repository is amazing, I don't think I ever saw such nice code and such neat organization: https://github.com/jcoglan/jit (everything uses standard ruby libraries or default gems like minitest)

I might use it as it's a very easily customizable implementation of git.

This looks like a great move - I just wish Citus or another top-tier Postgres option was included, Google's managed Postgres is pretty behind (old version, no PITR, and IIRC limited module and replication support).

We're still managing our Postgres manually ontop of GCE and I'd rather not have to do that, but I also don't want to give up the replication setup we have and the modules we use.
People drive with suspended licenses all the time. What I'd really like to see upon conviction for distracted driving or drunk driving (similarly dangerous) is criminal forfeiture of the offender's vehicle and a court order prohibiting the offender from owning or possessing an automobile.
I don't think it's possible to make rich (and I mean the real rich, not google-software-engineer rich) people move. Most incentives will be either to expensive or too cruel.

Middle class, on the other hand, would happily follow cheaper rents and shorter commutes as long as the neighborhood is safe and reasonably clean. The latter two are often the problem though.

> "So advertisements you get are even sleazier than non-targeted advertising"

On average yes. Just as there is a gradient in non-targeted advertising of 'basically benign' to 'scum of the earth', I think there is a gradient in targeted advertising too.

On the basically benign end of the gradient you have the "You recently bought book X from author Y, perhaps you'd be interested in Book Z from author Y." (I don't like that stuff, I still block it, but it doesn't quite get me incensed if you know what I mean.) But the potential for harm from targetted ads can be truly extreme.
You can read them, just for a small payment. Before the internet, you might have had to pay to travel to a library. Was that wrong too?
This has been nagging me for weeks since I 'discovered' that almost everyone around me can visualize things in their mind. Frankly, it helps explain a lot about my life. The inability to picture the face of friends, family, places I've visited, all contribute to a sense of isolation and distance that I feel daily. My strong preference for non-fiction, too, is likely an artifact of reading fiction word by word but 'seeing' nothing interesting. My failed attempts at all sort sorts of meditation and mindfulness exercises are also now suspect. The anecdotes about being unable to understand the concept of 'counting sheep' also resonate strongly with me. That face-blindness is also commonly co-morbid also helps me understand that aspect of myself better.

All in all, while I don't feel 'robbed' of this ability to visualize things, it does seem to lob off a chunk of things which are particularly joyful to the human experience. I can't really visualize a future life for myself, let alone my current life. To discover all of this after decades of being alive is quite mind-blowing, and I'm glad it's getting the wave of media attention that it is now (or else I would not have known).

But then, perhaps, in this case, ignorance would be a bit more blissful.
For what it's worth, we've been able to file individual income tax returns in Australia for as long as I can remember (15+ years). For the vast majority of taxpayers (i.e. salaried workers), it's completely painless and MUCH better than the paper-based alternative.

I can actually make this comparison, because corporate tax returns still require paper forms.

Now I know the US tax system is much more complex, so take this with a grain of salt. But "free and government provided" doesn't necessarily mean "bad".

And if it were successful enough to drive TurboTax out of business, that would be a massive indicator of popularity and a net win.

I find it utterly absurd that the USA is beholden to this kind of regulatory capture. Forcibly preventing the government from delivering better services to protect an entrenched player? That's an absolute perversion of capitalism - I'd actually say it's reminiscent of communism more than anything.

I remember the battle between Jamie Cansdale and Microsoft regarding Jamie's MVP status [1]. The TL;DR was that Jamie developed TestDriven.NET as an add-on to Visual Studio. He released it for the pay versions and the free version: Visual Studio Express. Microsoft wanted him to make it unavailable for Express and decided to kick him out of the MVP program because they didn't want nice features in the free version of Visual Studio. ;)

If the police are able to catch someone, then by definition they were distracted. If a driver can see law enforcement (which should be clearly marked as such, not some stealth car) then the distraction is only in the minds of others, as enough attention is being put on the road to avoid accidents and other issues.
DUI and driving while using your phone should have equal punishment.

I’m not advocating drinking and driving, but phone use is “no harm, no foul” right now. On the other hand you can drive without crashing into anyone but if you’ve had two glasses of wine with dinner, you can get charged with a crime.
