Sorry, foreigner was a clumsy choice here, and I chose it because in many Asian countries it's quasi synonymous. People of different origin are always foreigners to the local population, whether they're permanent residents or citizens or not. Maybe I should have said "someone who isn't part of the majority ethnically".

China did ban Facebook, as did Russia and North Korea. Countries where Facebook is not banned are largely allies of the US.
What? Am I not allowed to question this ridiculous claim?
Probably not, especially when dealing with families. Notice how the tickets are relatively cheap and usually have gone up the least? You get marketed the cost of the ticket, which might look reasonable, but then the cost of add-ons, like beer, parking, etc., are hidden from you. That's where the biggest increases are.

You, as an adult might have some foresight and self control to think, OK, I'm going to eat before I get there and I'll buy cheap merch at the store after the fact if I had a really good time, but they know that you probably won't say no to your kids who want a popcorn, a soda and to get the limited edition hat, all at outrageous markups...

IT's funny you mention this. There has been talk on twitter among a lot of Indie Hackers the past couple weeks (months?) saying the same thing. Especially now with a potential recession looming. I've always thought the same. But I think the reason revenue is used most often stems from VC backed businesses (and those seeking funding) trying to show that they are viable and have customers so they can raise more funds even before they have profit - think Twitter and Facebook as big examples.
you are a very annoying person, its really not hard to understand.

The guy doesn't like being ripped off. He rents what is marketed as rent-able, and wants what is marketed as something you buy to be actually so.

Its a very basic concept, there is no "different approach here".

There isn't anything wrong with not wanting to be ripped off.

>Science, since time immemorial, has relied on the systemic replication of any presented result or finding. Reproducing experiments and their reported results remains a cornerstone of the validation of any scientific theory.

No, no it really hasn't. It has relied on the ability to make predictions based on pusblished theories, methods, laws etc. Even for hard-science experiments it's not even clear how you could record all the required knowledge to replicate an experiment. Every configuration, every machine, every particle in the air, every bit of software.

I really wish people engaged more with the actual history of science instead of what they believe it to be.

edit. To give a little more meat to my rant here's a good reading (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-reproducibilit...):

"If replication played such an essential or distinguishing role in science, we might expect it to be a prominent theme in the history of science. Steinle (2016) (...) claims that the role and value of replication in experimental replication is 'much more complex than easy textbook accounts make us believe' (2016: 60), particularly since each scientific inquiry is always tied to a variety of contextual considerations that can affect the importance of replication. Such considerations include the relationship between experimental results and the background of accepted theory at the time, the practical and resource constraints on pursuing replication and the perceived credibility of the researchers. These contextual factors, he claims, mean that replication was a key or even overriding determinant of acceptance of research claims in some cases, but not in others."

The history of replications is extremely nuanced. Empirical results and by extension replications are one line of argument in scientific discourse, but by no means the only one.

I personally hold that valid predictions in the context of interesting problems are where it's really at. In the "Structure of Scientific Revolutions", Kuhn argues that at some point paradigms cannot make THESE kind of predictions anymore. Revolutions do not happen because of failed or missing replications.

Therefore, stating science "has relied on replication" is historically and epistemologically false. It's also misleading because the replication crisis happens due to a lack of theory and misguided incentives, not because some discipline has left the holy path of finding truth.
People are surprised in this thread. The truth is I run into engineers who are oblivious to this, perhaps deliberately so. Accountability for this starts with the teams building these products and choosing what to/to not include as data.

Or; what I absolutely hate is engineers outside of privacy/security acting frustrated, while collecting checks on the back of this data. Like that group of ex-Facebook Trust and Safety that founded that ludicrous and smug user protection group in Boston based on their experiences at Facebook.

People blame Brazil but I've met people outside Brazil who are like "Oh! Bonds!" "What kinds of bonds?" "High returns!" "Can't be government bonds then. Company bonds?" "Milk companies in Brazil!" Oh, cutting down the Amazon. Two parents I knew, this was like 18 years ago. It's been an emergency since the 1980's, a continual emergency. It's still an emergency.

And I think they got fucked anyway, both of them. They thought it was a good investment because it was such a shitty thing to do to something so beautiful, thought the secret to luxury was cowardice (and it is), but guess what the promise of shitty person heaven where all the shitty people are so shitty to everything except you because you're so special so much in common with them, say the same things, have the same ideas, know the same people, have the same passwords what a coincidence, bump into each other in the strangest places, twins, so that means...uh...nah you know what, it's a better lesson learned the hard way. Getting fucked is critical to learning how not to get fucked. Walkthroughs are uh...well police departments have websites, there's books on the subject. And you can't con an honest John. Well there's a limit to that, you also have to be informed, you need both. And entertain moral dilemmas, moral experiments, or like play-act with friends, that will help out a lot. And good alternatives.

Course the hard part is finding an alternative to that if you are conned. One way is to choose your second best choice. Not your first choice. Second choice. So then if the second choice starts getting shitty, stops whispering when you come around the bend, hey oh shit, guess the second choice school, say we're talking about Harvard 1 Yale 2, so Yale, really was second rank! I thought the 2 meant it was just as good, just another numeral from 1 to 10, like different days of the month! Wow, shit, wouldn't want to have to transfer to Harvard, that would suck, that was my first choice! Say I couldn't make it at Yale, damn!
Thanks for writing this. I had it on my mind but am usually too lazy to write long comments. I am a data scientist and I do some ML at work that is actually core the business (Learn To Rank for an aggregator). Whenever I read some article about data science on HN I can never relate to what they say.

'Data drift' sounds like some BS one tells their manager when they don't understand what's really happening.

> I have done enough research on production ML now to know that it pays to simply overfit to the most recent data and constantly retrain. Successful companies do this.

As long as they are not AB tested statement likes these are worthless. I recently tried updating a model daily vs weekly and it made aboslutely no difference so why would I care ?

Anyway, thanks for your comment I know I'm not alone.
It doesn't and I am not advocating cutting down all the forests. But it is very easy to have had already done it, reaped the benefits of being an agricultural/economic powerhouse and then tell a developing country that was not good. Is the USA now reversing that mistake by turning farmland and sprawling suburbs back to forest? No. It could be done. It is just that will cost something to do. It is easier to tell someone else to not cut down their forest. That does not cost anything.
Because old people tend to have more wealth since they had a lifetime to accumulate. This places with older people tend to be richer, but that does not necessarily translate to what happens to an average person in a society.

For example, in the US the median network for an 69 year old (right around retirement) is
over 33 times as much as an 18 year old [1], with values in between spread as expected. So a society with significantly more old people (such as Japan) would have higher median wealth but not necessarily more income (for example, US pays more than Japan on average [2], but we're younger).

So, if you move to Japan from the US assuming you'll end up richer, you may be making a mistake because you made that choice based on comparing things incorrectly.

This is why it matters.

Amazon Sues Facebook Group Administrators over Fake Reviews
The current government is heavily favouring the export of primary and finite resources.

If people from other countries really want Brazilian economy to get off the ground, they should want Brazil to export processed and manufactured goods, or other sectors.

Treating Brazil like a big farm is doing neither Brazil nor the environment any favours.

The "We should't criticise Brazil, let them do what we also did before" is not only hypocritical, it's also counter-intuitive and very self-serving!

It's the same with colleges--even state universities now have luxury dorms with one bedroom/one bath units, massive gyms, bigger and nicer libraries and computer labs... and more useless programs that kids don't participate in or get much use from. At a UC I paid over $1000 a quarter in registration fees for those programs that I basically got zero benefits from them.

Housing is similar--there aren't many small 1200 sq ft starter homes with a one car garage being built--it's mostly big McMansions with a list of bullet points. There are fewer and fewer affordable entry points to housing and college for the working class to start building wealth from.

I agree, especially when looking at Mets and Yankees tickets. The price difference isn’t really there.

We are a huge baseball family do a big extended family trip to the Yankees every year - usually $5-12 for 30 bleacher seats to a weekday game. I’m a Mets fan, and we usually do a few of games a year.

One of the things about the baseball experience is there are lots of ways to enjoy it. Usually we do one “big” trip where we score a deal on a resale ticket behind the plate or first base, often including food for $100-150. Then we’ll do a couple of SRO or upper deck trips with a $5-12 ticket. And we’ll also do lower level outfield tickets for $30-80.

I grew up I the 80s, and times weren’t all magic and marshmallows then either. My dad worked for the city and my mom was a nurse. We couldn’t afford fancy baseline seats at big city ballparks then either.

Baseball is different in smaller markets though. If you’re in Pittsburgh or Cincinnati, your baseball ticket options are very different.

> Yes of course if you buy a whole bunch of Stadium food it is expensive, but one of the entire gimmicks of the baseball stadium is that they make most of the money on beer and food. The thing is, food is optional! This is a form of progressive pricing that allows the team to charge people who are price insensitive more while still being affordable.

I don't think it's realistic to expect a family of four to have a good time sitting through a three hour baseball game without any food. And if their historical pricing data is correct, food and drink prices were comparatively much more reasonable in the 60s, so it's not a inherent property of ballparks to have outrageous concession prices.

> One last thing is to note that the experience at the stadium has changed enormously. Stadiums in the 60s were basically a bigger version of high school bleachers. Now they’re luxury palaces.

Here's a picture of the seats at Coors Field today [0]. Here's some pictures of 1960s baseball stadium seating [1][2]. They look pretty much the same to me. Now you get a cupholder, I guess?

Here's an idea: Maybe look around for You Tubers who are creating one-off 3d models and pitching them to do a product run.

If you want to see what something like this could look like, Aaron Parecki designed a very clever stand for a video device called an ATEM Mini, and started with one-off 3d prototypes he was printing. He validated the idea, then sourced up to a small -- just a bit bigger than a garage -- "factory" that would be like what you're describing.
