Do entities like ESPN, NCAA, etc. crack down on illegal sports streams?
Do entities like ESPN, NCAA, etc. crack down on illegal sports streams? And if so how is it technically possible?

As an American who has emigrated to a foreign country I get a lot of mileage out of googling "free sport streams" when I want to watch my favorite games.

I've noticed that the more popular a game is, i.e. the super bowl or the final four, the more difficult it is to find a working stream for. This leads me to believe there is some effort on part of entities like ESPN and the NCAA to crack down on these 'illegal' streams.

Thanks !
The ECASH Act would direct the US government to experiment with issuing digital dollars that are stored on hardware, not in bank accounts, and can be used without an internet connection.
I have worked in (used personally or done professionally) pre-crypto versions of these, excluding the dead hand scheme- and although some were a little complex and had some risk, I would argue that the new version has the same complexity and risk, only it seems to be hidden by crypto buzz-words.
Also reminds me why I don't do those things any more.
It's wild that they didn't have human appraisers review at least a sample of the houses to groundtruth the algorithm.
Right, but the US government is in control of who gets to run its central bank. Certainly it would take longer to change policy than in a country where the central bank is run directly by the government, but it's more than possible to do.
Sounds good. I’m not sure I know any better solution either.

I really like:

Definitely would work to convey the sense of contwnt mastery to the student, and if done in a no-shame, expect-to-start-bad-and-get-better way, an excellent feedback tool.

I know the article didn't explain if she asked to leave early; but if you have a lease, you can't just "up and leave" when you want. That requires negotiating with the landlord.

The general rule of US and English common law is that the sovereign is immune from liability. The reason you can sue the U.S. Government is because Congress passed laws such as the Tucker Act, the Federal Tort Claims Act, the Administrative Procedures Act, and Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act allowing plaintiffs to do so.

Judicial review doesn't generally let you sue the Government to obtain redress for injuries; it is for enforcing the people's Constitutional rights where the Government is stepping out of bounds. It doesn't let you, say, sue the FTC to get them to do their job.

(This is second-year Constitutional Law, BTW.)

But I also don't deserve just $1, because I did contribute to the scale factor. In todays world, it seems like we'd each get $1.

What market are you in where tenents can't pick landlords? With mom and pop landlords, it can be a crapshoot. But I have rented from coorporate landlords twice. Each time, I was able to research them, and I avoided several with bad reputations. I've never had problems with the landlords I did rent from.

You could have just as well said "War is as old as government, skeptics or not. 'A peaceful world' in the absolute sense has never and will never exist, and talking in absolutes isn't helpful etc. etc."

I'm open to the idea that trade policy is sometimes useful but such a defense of it is facile nonsense. The ubiquity of something across time and space doesn't make it good or pragmatic or savvy or endow it with any other nice quality. Some things, like war, are basically bad, and at best perhaps necessary in some very limited situations.

Since graduate students do work for universities at low wages, it seems like the universities are getting a good deal.

So how do you want to account for labor costs? After they leave, the work got done and the workers got paid. Both sides benefit from this arrangement, though you can certainly argue (and many do) that the benefits should be split more fairly by paying the workers more.

Separately, the US would benefit from letting them stay and do more work. But that's generally the case for any immigration restriction. They get in the way of mutually beneficial private arrangements. US employers can't hire people who are willing to work for them, and the workers strongly benefit from being able to work in the US. Immigration restrictions are all about the government getting in people's way and the various justifications people make for continuing this interference.

Metabolical, by Robert Lustig: https://www.worldcat.org/title/metabolical-the-lure-and-the-...

Metabolical lays out recommendations for healthy food from birth to death, and Life in the Fasting Lane is more for any of you adults who'd like to experiment with going without food for longer, thus allowing the body to get out of "storage" mode and experience a variety of benefits. I'm almost 24 hours since I ate dinner yesterday, worked a tougher-than-usual day, and am feeling better than I was on a typical day before I started ramping up a month ago to three meals a week. I'll likely adjust that as I go, finding "listening to my body" easier and easier as I get older and keep experimenting. Good luck with your challenges.

> And what does scene construction, story arc and so on mean when you can do anything ?

I'm reminded of this video, where a game-playing husband discusses his non-gaming wife's attempts to play games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax7f3JZJHSw

Part of the problem his wife ran into was that she lacked the 'literacy' for games that her husband (who had played games growing up) had, and so wasn't able to perform basic interactions which he had experience with.

I think deep discussions about a topic require familiarity with the basics. - What kind of discussion can you hope to have or appreciate if you don't share fundamental understanding? You can probably ask what they found fun, or what's cool about it.

> what does story arc mean when you can do anything?

You might be able to appreciate Liana Kerzner's Lady Bits series. e.g. in this video, she discusses what 'agency' means in terms of games. She considers that there's the player's agency, the writer's agency, and the (diagetec?) agency of the characters in the story.

> Or are there other factors separate from the marginal cost to a professor of an additional grad student which should be included (e.g. are there institutional-level resources which are significantly supporting this workforce?)

No. At least, not in CS. What sorts if things would you be referring to? Compute? Honestly you're better off with a trivial cloud grant than trying to use the slurm cluster with a dozen ancient gpus for hundreds of faculty to share. Office space? Your average dilapidated cube farm is LUXURY compared to the sardine situation grad students put up with. Robotics hardware? Doesn't really scale like that. And... those are the only three things needed for like 90% of CS research. In CS, precious few dollars other than the stipend go toward anything useful. As far as a faculty member is concerns, that money money disappears into a pit.

(What's going on is that the PhD stipend is fixed by the funding agency, and the university squeezes as much as possible away from the professor/student. Just armies upon armies of assistant deans doing not much of anything while the grad students toil away doing the only useful work in the place for rent and pizza.)

Agreed. These shouldn't just be grants, they should be investments. The US gov't should come away from this owning stock in those companies. I don't think the gov't should be in the business of owning companies in general (not a fan of nationalizing businesses except in some narrow circumstances), so I'd say they should divest themselves after some pre-determined period, or somehow separate their ownership from meddling for (partisan) political reasons (a tall order, I know). But the people (via the government) should be able to get some return on this investment, beyond just "our economy is less fragile because now we have more critical manufacturing capability". Which is certainly nothing to sneeze at, but IMO isn't enough.

> Couldn't we collectively reduce our working hours, have more vacation time, and employ more people?

Step 1 for that to ever be realistic is to sever the connection between your employer and your health insurer.

An additional complication is that employing two part-time employees means you needed to train and hope the knowledge actually transferred twice, but that is trivial in comparison to paying the benefits for two employees (IIRC, benefits are more of a fixed per-employee cost rather than something that pretends to be related to hours worked, like salary).

I've heard so many landlord horror stories, I can understand why landlords want something like this. I can also understand why big business is becoming more and more common as landlords; when an individual rents out one or two properties the risk of a bad tenant is far too high.
