> a little box inside penalty box in soccer where the goalkeeper has by the rules

It's not an official rule, but it is the common interpretation, to the point of players relying on this in competitive matches.

Another change that makes it easier for goalkeepers to defend in soccer was calling offside when a player is in offside position and doesn't receive the ball, just obstructs the visibility or messes with defenders and somebody else (not in offside position) score thanks to that.

It's a little inconsistent and I don't like it, but it doesn't seem to help the defenders and goalies too much.

Despite the rule changes in soccer goalies seem to be losing the arms race - there's more and more goals a game and last few years the meta moved to very high pressing and constant offence. Which I very much like - makes for a more entertaining games.

As for hockey I would like them to split the goal into 2 halves and put them 1 meter apart :)
F1 is as much about the engineering challenge of having the teams competing to build the fastest circuit racing car in the world as it is about the drivers driving it. If you remove the engineering challenge, you no longer have F1. (Kind of literally, as the Formula in Formula 1 refers to the regulations teams need to follow in their construction of the vehicle.)

There are plenty of other major racing series around the world that use standardized vehicles. The reason F1 is special is the engineering, plain and simple. The aerodynamics involved, the engine efficiencies... Mercedes' ICU (traditional fuel part of the power unit) has achieved a thermal efficiency of over 50%. That is astounding. You just don't get these sort of advances with a spec series; there's no motivation for it.

If you combat the imbalance in team success at all, you do it by inserting negative feedback loops and spending limits. Making total available budget be not the #1 determining factor is an obvious choice. Some caps are in the works currently. And for negative feedback loops, these are things like -- the higher your finishing position for the season, the less wind tunnel time you have available to use in the offseason. Something like that, things that make it so if you win, it's a little bit harder to keep winning the next time.

You definitely don't turn it into a spec series, because then you have killed the sport.

I totally get you, but maybe the better conclusion is just that the article isn't for you? I mean that in the opposite of a judgy way; think for a second about just how much knowledge there is out there. Even if you leave out stuff that goes infinitely deep like the sciences, there's way more details to all the topics you might come across in life than anyone can learn in a lifetime.

For example, sometimes I'll watch videos of snooker games on YouTube. Chances are you know absolutely nothing about snooker, but the thing is, I don't really either. I can't keep the rules straight because I so rarely pay attention to it. I can't name more than one professional snooker player. It's fun to watch and can relieve a few minutes of boredom, but that's about it for me. And ... I think that's okay? Some sports, like lacrosse, I know absolutely nothing about, and that seems okay too!

I guess what this comment boils down to is that I don't think I understand what you would get out of a "bullet points" version of an article like this. Do you need to know anything about hockey? Preparing for a Jeopardy tournament or something? Despite not really enjoying hockey myself, what I got out of this article was some pleasure inherent to reading the thoughts of someone who has obviously thought very hard about a specific subject, and writes about those thoughts in a clear way.
At the end of the day you have to find what really works for your own team but this is a good inspiration.

I agree with what Marek said in the video - this approach (if adjusted to the particular team) would probably work for at least 90% of people. The truth is that not even close to 90% actually give it a try!

Yeah, but isn't DC-DC volt conversion still much better, than DC - AC - AC- DC?

Also, most devices have to internally change voltage for various elements anyway. So we do already have tons of DC-DC converters in everything.

Another important advantage of DC only grid: it is smooth.

DC from AC has lots of fluktations(because AC always goes up and down), which of course most device expect that and sensitive electronics like in hospital, does not run on the ordinary grid for that reason. But it would be nice if also common devices can have stable electric input. Who knows, maybe quite some tricky computer bugs or hardware failures have their root in this.

Another aspect of DC: it does not constantly creates a changing magnetic field arround it, like any AC power line does.

To me (Dutch) the idea of using a personal credit card is very strange for anything other than because a website/shop doesn't accept any other form of payment. If you're a company, credit makes sense. You invest on a risk of getter a greater return in the future. But paying for your groceries or rent in advance should not be considered 'investing' in your personal life imho. You should just make due with what you have.

Average top-level soccer game ends something like 2-1 nowadays (maybe 3-1? it's certainly going up with time).

Average semi-professional game ends something like 6-3.

Average kids on the backyard soccer game ends 10-5 or something like that :)

Compared to "real" players kids suck as goalkeepers but so what? They are still having fun. The score doesn't matter that much at that level anyway.

Kids also usually play on smaller fields with smaller goals but it's not mainly because of scoring chance - it's because schools don't have the space and kids don't have the stamina to run for 90 minutes on a full sized football pitch.

I don't think anybody minds weird scores in lower level games.
I feel like I would like to agree with the article, but I don't. It's described in a way that makes one believe that it's completely impossible to score a goal in a one-on-one situation, as the goalie can just sit on his knees and not move. As is evident by any recent shootout one may watch, this is not the case.

And regarding the good old times when goalies had to be acrobatic to actually make saves. Just yesterday I saw a highlight of Korpisalo from Blue Jackets making a crazy reaching stick-save to deny an empty-netter.

I think it's fine. I find the game exciting and dynamic enough to watch.
Nice article, though my first thought was a scene from 'The West Wing':

Sam: You know what I'd do if I owned a hockey team? I'd hire a sumo wrestler. I'd give him a uniform, transportation, 500 bucks a week to sit in the goal, eat a ham sandwich and enjoy the game. My team would never get scored on.

Josh: Your team would get scored on constantly.

Sam: Maybe, but we'd sell a few tickets.

Josh: Yeah, 'cause sumo wrestling sells out all the time in big hockey towns.

Sam: My idea's totally inviable?

Josh: Well, you're a Democrat. It's a pretty big club.
Yeah, the root cause is a combination of designers and sales collaborating to promise the client something out of their price bracket.

No, this is free enterprise. Nothing stops the authors selling the books through other vendors, or starting a blog about, or tweeting or standing next to the freeway with a sign.

If _the government_ stopped them from doing anything of the above, that would be a free speech hinderence. Now it's just business.
I can't judge the book, but the concept of "identities" is not grounded in science. How the latter can develop in such environment? Lack of option to publicly discuss such topics (this one itself is pretty much public already) with a book as a medium, is very strange and I can't imagine other reasons of banning it on Amazon, other than political ones...

The mental health aspect is solved by the experts in that area of the field, the treatment is known.

That is to say very unhelpful and possible harmful.

I used to have the original version on a 3.5” floppy that I kept even when I could no longer play it.

I also got to play Beyond Dark Castle[1] at one point- also a great game.

(Tangential: I was in a user group that may have tended to share pirated software for pretty much every version of computer that Apple made. If I could go back today and give each of those developers and businesses what they were owed, even with inflation, I would want to. I don’t remember anyone being aware this was illegal, and it might not have been back then. It felt sneaky though, like taking a cookie when you weren’t supposed to. I didn’t understand copyright, not that ignorance is an excuse. These kids were not intending to be criminals by any means. I know one became a cop. Duplication helped spread those games that parents probably would not have bought and they helped the kids learn and care about slightly more technical aspects of the technology they were using, such as what a sector was on a floppy, and the physical noise and behavior of the drive when things were written or read from the disk in a certain way, and how that would sometimes relate to whether the duplicated game could be played.)

There was a later color remake version of the original[2] for the Mac. It’s strange that old B/W Mac OS is being used in the video; my Color Classic’s desktop was in color. I’m also unfamiliar with the ports of Dark Castle, but it looks like a color version of Beyond Dark Castle was made for the Amiga[3].

I eventually got Return to Dark Castle[4] for macOS many years later, which was a good bit of fun also.

> Why did the rules change?

I'm not a Twitter user so don't know exactly, but from what I see being discussed, it seems to me that there used to be more tolerance towards certain groups (apparently right wing, but probably others, too). But maybe that's just it, the rules themselves haven't changed, they're just more strictly enforced now (I actually don't know).

I'd say that what they're doing is obviously not illegal, or else we probably wouldn't be having this conversation because it would be much more clear-cut.

However, it's more of a "moral" issue, for lack of a better term. They advertised the platform as a medium for everybody to exchange. Now that a lot of people have gone there because of this advertisement, it has become more or less a public utility.

Now, again, I'm not saying what they're doing is illegal, they are not legally a utility, there are other avenues for people to communicate, etc.

> A country club being very popular doesn't suddenly make it a public space.

While I think you're right in the general case, I can't help but think there's a question of measure involved.

The country club will advertise exclusivity. Even if it's just for pose, and it's actually easy to gain membership, it will actively not pretend it's open to any and everybody. Also, it will require people be somewhat close geographically and will have a fairly limited reach. If the club said "we're open to everybody, we want to encourage public conversation" [0], then I'd consider it the same way I do Twitter.

Contrast this with Twitter, which explicitly advertises its openness.[0] And when you can subscribe to Twitter just by having a random browser and an internet connection, wherever you are in the world, and when pretty much anyone and their grandmother are using it to communicate, and when there's an assumption (be it misguided!) that Twitter is a public space, I think it's at least worth it to consider the question.

The answer may well be a firm "no", but it may also be "woops, this is actually something new, which we hadn't considered in our (quite old) laws. Maybe we should do something about it".

To sum it all up, I think Twitter, FB, etc are all a fairly new kind of "thing". They are private entities in that they are funded, operated, etc by a private company and with that private company's goal in mind. But their operations are clearly designed to attract the most people who then communicate on their platform.

Just as we regulated what can and can't be done by a telephone company or an electrical company (all private entities!) when those came about, I wouldn't be shocked for there to be some kind of specific regulation for those platforms, more than "just don't break any laws". It seems pretty obvious to me that trying to apply pre-existing models to them doesn't work all that well.

From what I’ve heard, Amazon’s internal politics and culture has become as influenced by far left activism as the other big tech companies. This particular book ban is just the latest visible symptom of their bias. Like all other powerful institutions that have been taken over by ideologues, they cannot be trusted with the power they have. Moderate leftists, centrists, and conservatives should be highly cautious of the power wielded by big tech, as their viewpoints and culture will be the ones suppressed by these institutions’ authoritarian actions.

It is abominable that Amazom will not permit open discussions and diverse perspectives on controversial and highly debated issues like gender identity. The author of this now-banned book shared his perspective on the ban at https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2021/02/when-amaz.... It‘s not just this book either. Experts like Debra Soh have seen repeated bans and reinstatements of her book “The End of Gender” (https://mobile.twitter.com/DrDebraSoh/status/136464687930529...). Abigail Shrier, whose book “Irreversible” has also been subject to bans, wrote about the dangerous rise of corporate censorship recently, highlighting Amazon’s use of a vague “hate speech” policy (https://abigailshrier.substack.com/p/book-banning-in-an-age-...). Ironically, for a company that claims to be customer focused, these bans are not the right thing for customers either since these books have been Amazon best sellers (https://notthebee.com/article/amazon-and-target-have-been-qu...).

It’s a sad change for a company that once had a strong stance against censoring books, as is tradition among bookshops, but this change of heart isn’t limited to books. Amazon has been increasingly and silently curating content from everything they own - whether it is AWS (which deplatformed Parler) or Prime Video (blocking documentaries that go against BLM narrative), or other things (see https://www.foxnews.com/media/amazon-cancel-censor-content-c...).

Dr Seuss Enterprises wanted to not distribute a book. Amazon Inc wants to not distribute a book. I don't see the difference?

Which is different from soccer. One thing I really like about soccer is the human error element. They don’t use video replays at the highest levels of the game because the game should be exactly the same whether it’s a bunch of kids playing with the only ball in their neighborhood or the World Cup finale.
I agree with you about most parts; specially about more calories = delicious food.

However, most Indian dishes have a restaurant version and a home-made version. The former is enriched with all kind of ingredients that make it heavy and calorie rich but super tasty while the latter is simpler and more suitable as daily food.

Dal makhani is usually a "party dish" which is not consumed on a regular basis. However, it too has a simpler version that is not loaded with butter and cream.

In this context there is a lot of difference between a mouse and a touchpad. For example, I select text with the keyboard most of the times in emacs and in any other input box (not in vim, is it even possible?). So I'd lose time by reaching to a mouse. I hardly have to move my hands to use my touchpad.

No, not really. You'll most likely need to talk to your ISP or cloud provider.

They'll most likely have rules/procedures for setting up BGP and what not. Look for 'bring your own ips' or similar language in cloud providers. Residential ISPs probably won't support it, but commercial ISPs all should, and may possibly help you with the ARIN procedures.
