What really upsets me about public stadiums is when the locals can't even watch the game. Take the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. That stadium is 100% publicly funded by the taxpayers.

Since 2011 the Rose Bowl game on Jan 1 has been on ESPN. So two colleges, the majority of which have been public schools, play in a public stadium and the locals can't even watch for free.

I think at the very least they need to make a law that says all events that take place in a publicly funded stadium need to be broadcast on a free local channel that reaches all of the taxpayers who paid for the stadium.
> Like many US engineers can easily afford to buy a house outright with $200k+ salaries

That's about 100K after taxes + medical (not included in taxes in the US) and other deductions.

With houses in good markets far above $1M, nobody making $100K net is buying a house outright. Or even being able to buy a house at all.

During covid I wrote a plugin that hooked into the proctoring site, undid the randomization on the ordering of the multiple choice questions and put a little dot for every answer by another user of my plugin taking the tests. This was to alliviate the chaos of 10 people talking over eachother in a teamspeak, asking for the parts they don't know. It was infinitely more rewarding than learning about graph theory.

It’s a difficult situation. A new React project should obviously use functional components and hooks. But there are still large code bases that use class based components, and I don’t see that changing too soon, so it needs to be taught.

Agreed, and if people don't want to use 'difficult tools', they could swap it for privacy: do KYC for your email account. Then you, in this case, the business could freeze the accounts until you go through the motions of proving you are the owner. Tech savvy people can then stay 'private'.

Not that I disagree with the general gist, I had to facepalm at that!

I think the general risk is that a rival politician will promise to bring back sports teams, with some dodgy financial setup that conceals the true cost, and the electorate will gobble it up
That would indeed fall under "German youth protection laws". But it doesn't match what the articles claimed, that the proposed law was to add stronger age checks. And it's a hilariously ineffective law if clicking the first google search result still takes you to the same website, but at a different domain.
Doesn't this also serve as a nice lock in ? S/w engineers dont leave because they are too dependent on an internal ecosystem, or have years of knowledge built in and leaving means all that effort is wasted.
How many cities allow their citizens to vote on these subsidies for stadiums? If they're so popular, they should easily pass. Problem is, when it comes time to negotiate the deal, both the owner of the team and the city politicians are sitting on the same side of the table and there's no one sitting on the other side representing the people. Sometimes the mayor/county commissioner gets voted out in the next election but by then, the local government is locked into a deal that lasts 30+ years. It was never up to the people of the city.
NATO doesn't seem to fight that way, and hence Tomahawks are not intended this way.

The NATO playbook for "how do you fight a war" appears roughly as follows:

- Destroy enemy air force and air defences, using specialised aircraft, special forces and conventional weapons, such as Tomahawks (you don't need a 1 km range to take out an airfield or a major air defence complex)

- Then destroy as much enemy force from the air, where you are uncontested

- Then, go in with the land forces, heavily supported from the air for both attacks and reconaissance.

A dozen F-16s or A-10s can make mincemeat out of such an armoured column and are better suited for this than many Tomahawks or small nukes, while doing much less damage elsewhere. If NATO were fighting this, they probably don't want to destroy everything on that road; they'll need the road, its bridges, and un-pissed-off people living around it.

You may as well argue that the government should be subsidizing new Marvel movies

The US government actually does subsidize Marvel movies pretty heavily by giving them free/extremely cheap access to military equipment and personnel. Peace movements pretty heavily criticize these movies for this reason. See for example: https://www.cbr.com/captain-marvel-mcu-military-relationship...

I agree, I'm quite surprised there's no Webkit browser on Android just yet. Though, based on my experience with Webkit on Linux, the Android version of Webkit would probably be leagues behind Safari.

A real mobile Webkit would make testing for iOS a hell of a lot easier. I'm not planning for buying a mac just to run a browser, we're not living in 2010 anymore. Even Microsoft bothers to provide free VMs for developers to run their browser tests in.
> The case I knew from my hometown was that the Church (as in country organization) payed one third. The congregation hat to pay one third as well and the secular municipality also had to pay one third.

The lack of institutional separation of church and state within Germany surprised me when I lived there. The populace isn't particularly religious on a personal level, but they tolerate a surprising amount of religious interference or intertwining with state institutions. IIRC there are church schools/daycares that are publicly funded as well, and of course the state cooperates with churches for religious taxation (yes, really -- if you're a member of one of those churches, you can't opt out short of leaving that church, they take the money directly out of your paycheck).

> Sports teams provide utility to people in the region, including people who never pay a cent for a ticket or merchandise.

Wait, what? Are you sure? I don't see a value of having sports teams other than entertainment.

> How do you quantity that value and should the government compensate the sports team for that value?

Maybe a good start would be to simply ask the people "how many sporting events have you been to in the last three months?"

If large numbers of people aren't that interested in sport now, they'll probably remain uninterested in the future.

OTOH, if large numbers of people are interested enough to go to games then they'll probably remain interested enough to go to games in the future.

My personal experience (not in the US), is that fewer than 1 in 20 people are interested in going to view live sporting events in a stadium.
Nope, no one’s ever heard of Paris St Germain, Arsenal, Chelsea or Tottenham Hotspur.
Biggest thing everyone can do on a personal level right now is get more energy efficient to reduce demand

For example we saw a significant drop in electricity consumption when we moved from CFL to LED bulbs

Not everyone can afford efficiency measures so governments will need to subsidise them - particularly in the UK where the housing stock needs huge improvements (though that depends on a Conservative government doing the right thing)

Industrial energy consumption is another challenge though

There are two aspects to this

One is the problem that governments make investments, and private firms are the primary beneficiaries. This exists broadly. In some instances, it feels fine. Governments are supposed to make investments that benefit the economy. Roads, ports, fiber, etc.

This gets sticky when it's a select group, monopoly or cabal that gets most of the benefit. Many national or regional postal systems currently have this dilemma. Postal systems need major public investment to keep up with modern e-commerce. AMZN & BABA, the world richest firms, are the main beneficiaries.

The point at which people seem to stop and challenge is often when things get explicit. Sports stadiums are that. Team owners make explicit demands, or threaten local polities. That gets people upset.

Imo, the only way to deal with these is returning "hardball" tactics. Make hard demands, like control of key assets (eg the team's brand/IP) in return for investments. Threaten financial ruin of owners' investments back. Legislate away contractual lock-ins.

No one likes to be strongarmed. That's why people are so infuriated by "give us money or we take your team."
It is true though, those cities have big teams but aren't known because of the teams existing. I'd wager many more people know about Paris the city than PSG the club.
I recently used a lookbehind to replace \n by \r\n only if it’s not already preceded by \r. It was in a VSCode extension, because the output channel of the testing workbench stupidly requires \r\n, otherwise it doesn’t go to the beginning of the line.

Wat?

London has Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham, Tottenham in the premier league. People come from all
around to watch them play. I say this as someone who cares little about football.
London has 4X top flight football (soccer) clubs that are known the world over: Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham.

Paris has Paris St Germain, who currently own two of the most recent top international players on the world stage.

Both cities also have lots of too-tier clubs from other sports, e.g. rugby.

These cities do have plenty of other attractions beside sports though to attract tourists and investment, so without these teams the cities would likely be fine.
No. Just don't pay public money for these things. If they leave, they leave. Don't let pro sports teams and their fans extort everyone else.

You need to look beneath the surface. There is a fundamental difference. In Web3, not everyone can post pictures, only those who are rich. Furthermore, it is decentralized. Decentralized! No government can take away your cat or anime waifu picture! Web3 is also more than that. It is a platform. VCs love platforms. On this platform, anyone can create money and claim it's worth something! If you do this right, you can cash out before anyone notices! Kind of like overvalued startups sold to clueless buyers, but without all the middlemen.

I've heard the "it's a conspiracy to raise prices!!" point of view too. It's a very simplistic way to think about the inflation, and I wish there were a little more critical thinking around it.

However, some of the inflation is being caused by companies just being comfortable raising their prices. They are comfortable because so many companies are monopolies, and as soon as there's any slight pressure in the direction of inflation, they immediately pass it onto their customers without any punishment. The anger against companies for gouging consumers is placed correctly, but of course it's with the wrong explanations.
Network segregation is your last line of defense. Having anything rely on it is a recipe for a bad security that's always just one step away from someone getting around it due to misconfiguration, request forgery, networks configuration changes over time, malware transiting over via VPNs etc. And of course from the SW vendor POV they don't know if the customer env employs this defense in depth layer, so it's really irresponsible to rely on it. Like is amply demonstrated here...

If a product upon unboxing promptly flops on its back with "come here internet" access controls, even if by good fortune it's saved by your network ACLs, it's time to put it back in the box and return it.

Stadiums in the US are often technically owned by the government. This is a dodge to get them out of paying property taxes on a billion dollar (or now multi-billion dollar) facility. The government then rents the stadium back to the team for a token fee. It also transfers certain liabilities to the government, making operations less expensive for the sports team.

Those calculations are the ones that make it look like American factory workers were automated out of their jobs, because a 2010 computer is a zillion times faster than a 1970 computer, therefore each factory worker is now producing a zillion times as many computers.

> Why not?

Because it's a poor use of public funds to directly subsidize private profit of one particular company/team.

Major sports organizations and franchises are rich enough to handle their own expenses, they don't actually need public help. They'll take it if they can get it, of course, because why wouldn't they? It's free money! But we're under no obligation to give it to them.
Thanks, I updated the post. I had no idea that oil changes are now once every two years. On the wife's Subaru I still change the oil every six months, and I remember when the standard was actually every three months. She puts about 10 km on the car during those six months, we live in a hilltop village half an hour drive from a city.

I would strongly disagree. This paper uses TSDF and runs into memory issues. And ATLAS is using TSDF and running into memory issues. So for practical applications, TSDF is still too memory hungry.
