> No. You can just...refuse to subsidize them. Seems to be working fine for Seattle, where IIRC the renovated stadium for their new NHL team was privately funded.

This also works for the Green Bay Packers (American Football). To raise money for an upgrade / expansion of their stadium, they just issued more ownership certificates, and the fans of the team bought them. GB has a unique ownership model compared to the rest of the NFL though.

Everything you own with crypto, is some data inside this crypto's world. Without any connection to other worlds, those data have no value in itself. And the moment you connect it, laws come into play and your crypto is just a tool to manage this ownership. But for this, crypto has no real benefit so far. And it's questionable whether it ever will have. We get the same practical benefits without all the expensive crypto-bells&whistles.

For what it's worth (vanishingly little), I say that basketball is the most boring sport: everyone runs to one end of the court and somebody shoots and does or doesn't score, then everyone runs to the other end of the court and the same thing happens. This repeats until the last minute or so on the clock, which takes an unbounded amount of time to play because of fouls and free throws.

Well the argument was actually in the article
we are discussing here, which says it is a bad financial investment.

I actually believe that even on a back of the envelope calculation it's hard to imagine how one can come up with this being a net positive. Let's argue that a stadium brings in 1M visitors a year (which is a high number) . If a stadium costs 1B then the city (through taxes etc) needs to make around 100 per person for it to be a good investment (10% return). And we haven't even considered the costs of externalities, like large traffic jams during games, cleanup etc.. I find it difficult to imagine that this works.
Agreed.

Also, re: imposter syndrome and seeking progress, I appreciate Dr Ben Hardy's concept of "Gain vs Gap". We tend to focus on the Gap in front of us (between where we are now and where we want to be), but it's important also to look back at the Gain (relative to where we started). The Gap will always be there, as our goals inevitably evolve, so focusing exclusively on it can be disheartening. The Gain, on the other hand, steadily increases according to our efforts. Using the OP's method of accumulating concrete evidence of increase in the Gain makes good sense to me.

This makes me think, how would this work with the “right to be forgotten” laws ?
It's a list of "overlays" (functions of two arguments, which return a key/value set). Overlays make it easy to overrides and replace things.

If you prefer imperative programming, then think of it being used like this:

const result = defaultNixpkgsSet;
for (overlay in overlays) {
// Merge the overlay's return value into the results value
result := result.merge(overlay(
result, // Give each overlay a reference to result
result.copy() // Also give a snapshot of the contents so-far
))
}
return result;

Consider an overlay something like this:

function(result, snapshot) {
return {
maven = snapshot.maven.override({ jre = result.jre8; })
};
}

Merging this into the 'result' will replace the 'maven' definition. That new definition is the same as the old one ('snapshot.maven'), but it will be using 'jre8' instead of the default. Two things to note:

- We're using 'result.jre8', which will include any overrides made to 'jre8' (by other overlays, even those being applied after this one!)

- We're using 'snapshot.maven', since using 'result.maven' would cause an infinite loop (since 'result.maven' depends on the output of this override!)

In that link, they're calling their arguments 'final' and 'prev' instead of 'result' and 'snapshot', but the idea's the same. Most overlays call their arguments 'self' and 'super', but I avoided them in this explanation since those names have specific meanings in other languages (they're literally just variable names in Nix).

Re: professional services ... I think there is some kind of sweet spot where professionals stop focusing on delivering a good service and start focusing on their brand.

Plenty of mention of different sports, but the post and references cited seem to focus on examples from the NFL. So I suggest the title should be Cities shouldn’t pay for new NFL stadiums.

I'm going to advise that, in general, one should never try to replace the former sort of sentence with the latter sort of sentence.

All the caveats are implied, people always speak from a personal perspective, all you're doing is weakening your rhetoric to no effect.

The general form of the Umeshism calls attention to situations where errors of commission are invisibly expensive, and errors of omission are dramatic but not necessarily more expensive. Waiting in an airport lounge is wasted time, and it doesn't matter if you're waiting for the flight you have a ticket for, or whatever they put you on; if the objective is to minimize time in the waiting lounge, as why would it not be, it's just the total hours which matter.

The opposite of an Umeshism is an easy riposte when they're being abused: "no, if you've ever been fired for being too wasted to work, you're not having fun, you're an alcoholic".

That's the whole 'charm' of American Football. Every player is hyper specialized to do exactly one thing (I guess you can say American Football follows the Unix philosophy in that point).

Home ownership makes people poor by discouraging moves to optimize opportunities. Additionally, this prolonged period of high house price appreciation is an anomaly that cannot be sustained. House prices are supported by incomes which are not growing at the same high rates. Historically houses are depreciating assets because critical components such as the roof and essential utilities like plumbing require regular maintenance and replacement at intervals between 15-50 years depending on durability and conditions.

This is an interesting dilemma, and I am aware that people are now seeking professional help for climate anxiety and that it can be a serious problem in some cases. However, I don't think this is a valid reason to discourage climate emergency headlines because the overall harm that is caused by our climate related activity is significantly higher than harm caused by anxiety. Without bringing serious, alarming attention to the issue, there's no way it will be addressed. I don't condone denial. But to the previous poster's point, if the situation has completely gotten away from us, then there's no point in suffering the anxiety because there's nothing to be done but await the end times. However, most people aren't on board with the hopeless abandon mindset at this time. Like so many other aspects of this problem, there's no easy solution, and it's complicated. I think the same could be said of our COVID response. Absolutely caused constant anxiety. And it was absolutely necessary. And it did encourage beneficial behaviour. The alternative is ignorance and more death.

So at this point it is ready for passing traffic through a SOCKS proxy. Meaning we can `cargo run --release -- proxy` and redirect applications to use port `9150` for their network connections.

Couple of related questions:

- Does anyone know, in a Linux distro, how to pass all system traffic through a SOCKS proxy port? I'm not looking for intermediary proxy handlers but an official method to force all user and system apps to use an arbitrary port.

- If it is not possible to do so, does `NetworkManager` have a setting for this?

- Is it possible to at least change Chrome/Firefox ports via CLI to an arbitrary port?

Hospitals are really there for downside mitigation and acute care, not necessarily for “recovery”. If you take that perspective, it makes a lot more sense why the lights, beeps, vital checks, loud talking in the hallway, etc all conspire to ruin your sleep. Ultimately, getting healthy enough to be discharged and getting back home is when/how you’ll fully heal.

Thanks for catching my mistake.
It's only uninteresting because economics refuses to be based on anything but the empirical (leading us into the situation we are in now), and so considers things like "math" to be mostly uninteresting "unless you are into that kind of thing".
I looked at markets for a while, this is what i saw. Therefore, it's true.

As I said, there is no reason those efficiencies should be easily correctable - because markets aren't efficient! That's the whole point. It's only in an efficient market that they would be correctable. This is the same as lots of computational and other problems. Lots of instances are easy and heuristics can often work very well. But you will still come up with situations where obviously broken things happen and are hard to make algorithms work.

It's sort of like having a cocktail party conversation about why you can't exceed the speed of light. Except because it's economics, you get stuck because there often isn't any real rigor behind it that you can push on. Just the empirical. Which I get why it's fun to talk about (really!) - without any meaningful rigor, anyone can participate and have fun - got a crazy empirical story? Awesome, that's all you need to prove something in economics! It makes for fun discussions where most people can participate and feel like it's not too hard.

I have no issue with that - my issue is of course that the cocktail party is not distinguishable from the field ;)

Beyond that, arguing they are inexploitable/unpredictable seems equivalent to whether they are efficient (and in most papers is considered equivalent to the efficiency hypothesis). I'm really unsure how you are trying to distinguish it.
Maybe you could formulate it for real and show how it is not equivalent to the efficiency question?

Can you think of any city that this applies to? Maybe a few English Premier League teams are as or more famous than the cities themselves, but there's a problem here. There is a near-zero chance of any of those teams threatening to move and using the stadium as a bargaining chip. I can think of a couple of moves that have happened in my lifetime - Meadowbank Thistle moving to Livingston (I'd be surprised if 5 people on this site were familiar with this) and Wimbledon moving to Milton Keynes (a move so deeply unpopular the bulk of their fans immediately formed a new team which now competes in the same league as the "old" one). This issue is pretty unique to the US leagues due to their "franchise" system.

While true, it's not really a problem per se. On average, wages keep pace with inflation..

If that were the case stagflation of the 1970’s wouldn’t have been a big deal, but it was. And supply shocks were also a major trigger (Arab oil embargo).

If wage increases lag inflation, then consumers pull back on spending as prices rise. This can push you into a recession or piss-poor economic growth.

It took the US over a decade to get out of the high inflation/low growth environment of the mid-70s and the pain of even higher interest rates needed to break inflation - which further depressed the economy - was a painful cure.

One minor nitpick is that in this derivation your choice of coordinates matters.

Luckily (classical) physics provides a canonical set of coordinates which even comes with a measure that is preserved under the equations of motion. This magical property of the phase space can't be emphasized enough if you ask me.
