The thing is there's excitement at both ends of the table in the PL and its continental counterparts. It's not just who wins the league, there's relegation as well, which is its own brutal drama.

Also I think people overestimate how much winning actually means. People support clubs whose heights were reached decades ago, not because they might miraculously win this year, but because the club is part of their life and the club's story is part of their story. It's like a soap opera, greatness comes and goes, but you keep watching. Club heroes are often not particularly good in a wider context, they're often of journeyman skill.

So in that sense there's something for everyone, even if the trophies are tied up in the top few clubs.

I do think some sort of more even distribution would make sense, though I think there are probably competition laws that would prevent a salary cap.

> If you are a Jaguars fan and your team is picking #1 in the draft next week after getting one win last season, you can realistically hope that you might be supporting a good team in a couple of years.

This creates really weird incentives. It was between them and the Jets, and people were saying the Jets were stupid for winning a game and losing Trevor Lawrence.

It's also its own can of worms, having unpaid athletes who are still essentially professionals rather than students, at universities who run a huge legally protected racket.

Why not do like in Europe and have clubs with teams that have age groups, genders, and second and third teams for all those categories? What's the idea in a bunch of professionals who come and go as dictated by money, but with the name of a specific place on their jerseys? In what sense are you truly representing a place if there's no community below the professionals?
>It's just greed, plain and simple.

Seeing someone pay off their student loans or their credit cards on an income similar or lower than yours by “investing” in a ICO at the right time and trying to find the next opportunity is greed to you?

I’d say the little guy is desperate to get out underneath whatever has them in dire straights to reasonably think a “gamble” as rational.
This doesn't follow, the laptop story's premise doesn't pass the sniff test at all.

A laptop is left with a computer repair salesman for some reason, in Delaware for some reason, and for some reason no contact information is given for the laptop's return, and for some reason the repairman both wanted to and was capable of getting a direct line to Rudy Giuliani who for some reason gave the only copy of the hard drive to the NYT without screening any other news outlets.

The repairman goes on to give contradictory statements repeatedly about the origin of the laptop. The FBI acquires the device for investigation into Russian disinformation campaigns.
I don't know how their IRB approved this, although we also don't know what details the researchers gave the IRB.

It had a high human component because it was humans making many decisions in this process. In particular, there was the potential to cause maintainers personal embarrassment or professional censure by letting through a bugged patch.

If the researchers even considered this possibility, I doubt the IRB would have approved this experimental protocol if laid out in those terms.
I've started injecting code fragments into spectre exploits as a way of seeing whether the CPU likes them or not.
That data is absolutely vital in many criminal investigations to, eg., determine whether alibis are accurate. Many criminals have been caught in lies by taking calls that place them not-where-they-said-they-were.

There's a please clear justification for holding that data and making it accessible via a warrant.

What here needs reform is the warrant process, and more precisely, the incentive structures around policing.

US DAs/Judges/Police/etc. need to be independent and impartial. At the moment excessive US electoral "democracy" creates pathological incentive structures.
The assembly bug bit me again a few months back, but instead of writing it I had a grand time hand-disassembling some ARMv4T binaries - scratched something of the same itch as solving a sudoku.
If you can reliably make more than 10% trading, you can borrow from a bank. Or Goldman Sachs. Or whoever. The current interest rate is practically 0. Anyone who is borrowing at 10% is either (a) not very bright or (b) more likely, doing something risky with their money that reputable moneymakers won't touch... probably involving the blockchain. So yeah, Ponzi.
Who should I believe, a government agency conducting a methodical survey of the country's economy, or some guy with a list of numbers that's possibly cherry picked?
It doesn't make it fine, no. But it does make a massive difference — It's the difference between being completely reckless about this and asking for at least token external validation.
Intent would be hard to prove without emails / chat conversations for sure. As for damages, Linux is used by DoD, NASA and a myriad of other agencies. All the 2 and 3 letter agencies use it. Some of them contribute to it.
I was also thinking that commits from e-mails ending in ".edu" are probably more likely to be assumed to be good-faith; they are from real students/professors/researchers at real universities using their real identities. There's probably going to be way more scrutiny on a commits from some random gmail address.

"Can't get financing" for an offer doesn't necessarily mean no financing. A bank won't loan 1.1x (or whatever the offer is) for a property appraised for 1x, so an offer without a financing contingency means the buyer has to cough up .1x in cash to make up the difference.

It means the deal is more likely to close and not get held up by financing, and the seller might pick it over a slightly higher offer that does have a contingency.
no, that would get them around an automatic filter, but the ban was on people from the university, not just people using uni email addresses.

I'm not sure how the law works in such cases, but surely the IRB would eventually have to realize that an explicit denouncement by the victims means that the "research" cannot go ahead
I always thought it was about obsession.
Higher rates are the solution, not the danger. The danger is the economic waste from artificially lowering rates, causing bubbles and massive misallocation of resources.

Using faked identity and faked papers to expose loopholes and issues in an institution is not news in science community. Kernel community may not be immune to some common challenges for any sizable institution I assume, so some ethical hacking here seems reasonable.

However, doing it repeatedly with real names seems not helpful to the community and indicates a questionable motivation.
This is the best guides on how to get started with a modern JavaScript/TypeScript I’ve ever seen.

Nice step by step, explaining what each tool does and how things work together.

I’m still leaning towards just learning Elm and give up on the JavaScript ecosystem, but an article like this gives me a little hope that at least it seem realistic to get started with TypeScript.

> but in reality "window.location" is easier to both read and write

No, it's not easier to read. Really. You think it is, but that's only because you're used to it. If you take a step back and look at the "window.location" expression objectively, while forgetting all that you know about programming (but retaining your knowledge of English), you won't be able to tell what is it about, not with any kind of certainty. Or, if you have experience with some other programming languages, you might read it as "a composition of function window and function location". On the other hand, "the location of window", even if it's not 100% correct English, tells you all that you need to know to understand what is happening.

It is easier to write, but only because it has less characters. The docs state pretty clearly that they are optimizing for ease of reading, not writing, so this is expected.

I'd love to see what they submitted to their IRB to get the determination of no human subjects:

It had a high human component because it was humans making decisions in this process. In particular, there was the potential to cause maintainers personal embarrassment or professional censure by letting through a bugged patch. If the researchers even considered this possibility, I doubt the IRB would have approved this experimental protocol if laid out in those terms.

What strikes me the most is that simple queries ("how much sun does [plant] need") only return 5 page keyword soups that barely answer your question. Google works reasonably well for more specific technical questions, but really struggles with the basic ones.
Real estate financing is primarily done by lenders with very traditional underwriting practices that don't factor in crypto or avoid it entirely. Even HNI/private banking doesn't consider crypto part of a liquid portfolio. You can go to Interactive Brokers and get a 1.x% rate with 2x (margin) or 5x (portfolio margin) but that's off non-crypto. To get that same leverage with crypto, you can put in a down payment for real estate (20% down) in 5 properties for 5x leverage. BlockFi/Tether etc. make that liquidity possible without liquidation. Feel free to DM me for more conversation on this topic.
Thanks! This structure helps a lot when comparing your work to the related literature.

I’ve never seen it develop into a serious problem, just as I’ve never seen rule driven Wikipedia have problems with rule obsession.

There are all sorts of community websites around the world. Which have developed into a serious SO contendor? IMO many things are threatening SO’s relevance, but they don’t look anything like it, which suggests that what SO is doing wrong isn’t the small details.

For example, I’d argue that Discord has become the next place for beginners to get answers, but chat rooms are very different from SO. For one thing, the help is better because someone else can spend their brain power to massage your problem. And another is that knowledge dies almost instantly.
Hey - while I agree with you, for a project making the very first baby steps, I have to be hyper-intentional about the way I spend my energy.

So now, I'm looking for only the very specific people who wants to be in close loop with me, helping me build a feedback loop from early on.

I built projects differently in past, now just want to try another way to start it.

(Also see my other comment - this project is actually a radically open about even its business plan :) It's just not linked to the homepage, for the reason I've explained. )
Interesting article, especially considering all the new money flowing into alt-coins at the moment. Excited to see where this leads, unsure there are similar products on the market(?)

Currently living in my second home financed ~2010 post-crisis 369,000 or so. Looking at 500-600 listing.

First home was a 1000 sq ft'er and I've rented it for 11 years.

Just closed on a new home 505,000 10k over asking, 4 other offers, never listed on MLS. We beat a higher offer because I wrote a hand written thank you note. (psy-op evilness). No contingencies other than appraisal and home inspection. Home was on the market for 18 hours, we made an offer after 4 hours. Market is nuts. Rural Southeast USA.
My understanding in this case is not that the IRB declined to review the study plan, but that (quoting the study authors) "The IRB of UMN reviewed the study and determined that this is not human research (a formal IRB exempt letter was obtained)." (more information here: https://www-users.cs.umn.edu/~kjlu/papers/clarifications-hc....)

Do you think that the IRB was correct to make the determination they did? It does sound like a bit of a grey area
To help clarify for purposes of continuing the discussion the original research did address the issue of minimizing the time of the reviewers [1] [2]. Seems the maintainers were OK with that as no actions were taken other than an implied request to stop that kind of research.

Now a different researcher from UMN, Aditya Pakki, has submitted a patch which contains bugs that seems to be attempting to do the same type of pen testing although the PhD student denied it.

1. Section IV.A of the paper, as pointed out by user MzxgckZtNqX5i in this comment:

> Honoring maintainer efforts. The OSS communities are understaffed, and maintainers are mainly volunteers. We respect OSS volunteers and honor their efforts. Unfortunately, this experiment will take certain time of maintainers in reviewing the patches. To minimize the efforts, (1) we make the minor patches as simple as possible (all of the three patches are less than 5 lines of code changes); (2) we find three real minor issues (i.e., missing an error message, a memory leak, and a refcount bug), and our patches will ultimately contribute to fixing them.

"* Does this project waste certain efforts of maintainers?
Unfortunately, yes. We would like to sincerely apologize to the maintainers involved in the corresponding patch review process; this work indeed wasted their precious time. We had carefully considered this issue, but could not figure out a better solution in this study. However, to minimize the wasted time, (1) we made the minor patches as simple as possible (all of the three patches are less than 5 lines of code changes); (2) we tried hard to find three real bugs, and the patches ultimately contributed to fixing them."
Yes, a team bought by a foreign billionaire willing to spend money suddenly got good, so good they ended up winning it all. Great for fans of Leicester, but what about all the fans of, say, Bolton? That's a team where the ownership has fallen apart and the team is insolvent and is now down in the 4th tier. Sucks to be them.

What if I told you there was a magical way to make sure that all teams competing were on an equal financial footing?
IMHO we need to do everything we can to buy us enough time to innovate our way out of the problem, so yeah, tree planting == good so long as the trees live long enough to do the job.
I suggest you read up on the scandal more, you either leave out details willingly or you are severely ignorant of the facts.

When you say "for some reason" you are alluding that there is no answer and you're trying to downplay it, you are lying.

The laptop was turned in by Hunter because it was waterlogged. He signed the form. When he didn't come back in to get it and the owner noticed the illegal things on it, a copy of the hard drive was first given to the FBI, another was later given to Rudy because nothing was done by the FBI.

The emails and photos on the laptop have not been disputed. His business partner has confirmed the emails, and the DKIM of at least one of the emails have been verified.
> I'd be surprised if the attack was fast enough to just gulp down all your contacts in the couple of seconds most people have their share sheets open.

No, with the share sheet open, the attacker can simply record the hashes of phone numbers that are being broadcasted. And then crack the hashes off-line at any time, which is easy since there are at max 999-999-9999 hashes.
This!

After working with node.js for more than eight years I decided to give deno a try (https://github.com/bermi/genetic) and I’ve been gratefully surprised by the development experience.

Um. Ok.
The problem with this definition is that it’s normal and legitimate for later investors to buy out early investors. You need to know more about what’s really going on to tell whether it’s a fraud or not.

For light weight scripting I didn't want to have to think about that. I had implement a "wait" command in the old ic-action attribute from intercooler:

https://intercoolerjs.org/attributes/ic-action.html

And I wanted to generalize that.

(A motivation for creating _hyperscript was because I removed ic-action as well as a bunch of other event-based attributes when rewrote intercooler.js as htmx: https://hyperscript.org/docs/#history)
This as likely as pretty much any explanation I’ve heard.

woah, I was a pretty expert C#/.NET developer until about 5 years ago, when I switched to Python and C++ for my dayjob. I've not kept up with the ecosystem since then. .NET Core was sort of in its infancy, and we were debating moving over at the point when I left that company, so I've never used Core.

but ...I can barely read that page and understand what's going on!

This is something I did notice with the c# codebases I worked on; you could date them to the month based on whatever "hot shit" patterns were used by each project. I thought this was normal for every language, but since working on large codebases in other languages, I've found that it's mostly a C# thing (Java has a bit of that too).

But man, it's insane how much the language and the ecosystem has changed in 5 years.
I use Hasura and generally like it, it certainly has some sharp edges, but overall has worked. I think Hasura has much richer GraphQL support, which I pair with gqless[0] to get what I think is a much nicer client side / ORM experience overall.

Other upsides are a much better RBAC column/row permissions, migrations with up/down, a better admin UI.

They did just fine before location data.

They'll do just fine after location data.

Especially with all the other digital breadcrumbs left around (security cameras and whatnot). If you don't think someone was somewhere they say they were there's a million other ways than phone data to check it out.

Besides, it's not like "oh look his phone was elsewhere" ever stopped police from investigating someone. They just assume you left it at home or gave it to someone for the purposes of an alibi.
Links [2] and [3] suggest that the proportion of housing that's vacant is, as of the end of 2020, well below its level for the 2010s. So it doesn't seem like there's been an increase in speculating in (and not using) housing?
> probably be a single bash or PowerShell script

The fact that it could be either bash or PowerShell is a primary reason why this tooling is there. Bash scripts work great (I use them) if everyone coding on the project shares an operating system. Not so much once you cross that boundary.

To give a sense of the lengths the JS community goes to address these compatibility issues, consider that Yarn 2 actually implements its own shell for running `package.json` scripts in a cross-platform way.
