> Read books are far less valuable than unread ones.

izzit me or is that total garbage? The only information of value is that which you can use, if it's in a book you've never read it's effectively nonexistent. I get text books to stuff them into my cranium, not have them sit around as handy doorstops.

Might as well leave them in the bookshop until you need them. They're just as unread and you have cash in your pocket for other things you actually need.
Wtf is "be artists" honestly? This is not a church choir. Top bands are commercial enterprises and are able to attract top talent (singers, musicians, audio and light engs, etc) because they get paid well.
Yeah, scalping provides very little value to society except profit to the scalpers. It's parasitic. Unfortunately the methods to combat it, like ticket lotteries, better identity verification and per-id quotas for purchase and transfer, aren't in the interest of ticket vendors. Artists generally can't wield much power either.
I'm also looking for "Google Photos but self-hosted" with the main feature being automatic object detection.

I just tried the Photoprism demo (https://demo.photoprism.app/browse), searched for "person", "grass", "wave", "head", "eye", "neon" and a bunch of other terms, nothing seemed to find any pictures although I took the concepts from existing photos I found.

Back button is also broken on the demo, which makes it seem like the most basic UX is not there yet in the application.

The quest continues...
The system where each fan that can afford the ticket price set by the band/venue has the same chance to get a ticket seems pretty fair to me.

If you are one of the wealthiest people perhaps you should consider the fact that you have been pretty lucky in life already, even if you sometimes can't attend a concert you really wanted to.
And then there's a whole lot of people whose genes give them lactose tolerance into adulthood because the milk of grazers was an important source of nutrition for their ancestors.

But wait, why is this even here? Because someone forgot which post they were replying to!?
The real genius of it is that it's really not a "type" system at all: it's a contract system. The nearest thing like it was Eiffel. The new "satisfies" feature in 4.9 makes this even more clear. Honestly there's so much space to cover here, I think it's just going to keep getting better and better.
Well, yeah, but the people paying 10X are probably luckier fans. Fans who can’t afford the scalped price have a momentary chance to buy from a pool of less than 10% of tickets because the events industry still gets the bulk of allotments.

There's the idea among the older generation that just because assets have been in a secular bull market, that they will continue to rise up in price, and it's probably not the case.
I would disagree - the value is about what you're optimizing for. When you say "No individual is required to live an optimal life, and many purposely and self-righteously shun one." it feels like you're assuming some value for which you're optimizing.

If you're not trying to make a lot of money or be traditionally successful, you're still optimizing for something. You could be optimizing for the most relaxing life, or the life in which you do the most to help others. You can also go for more specific optimizations - maybe you want to help others but don't want to get investment banking and live like a pauper while donating every cent you can (which is generally going to be a more effective way to help others than, say, volunteering), then you might be optimizing for helping others while achieving some minimal level of enjoyment in your life.

This is all to say that I would argue that you can't pursue optimality in and of itself, because you have to be optimizing for something.
Three things - first, it wasn't my example, I'm just responding to the terrible looking code in your previous comment.

Second, you just tried to argue for manually writing your own SQL rather than using an ORM by suggesting the way NHibernate (an ORM) does it is the right one. Might want to think up a new argument.

Finally, I used NHibernate in the past but it's gone out of favor because of the problematic things it does. Those proxies have to be runtime generated (startup cost + some extra overhead for each query) and are terrible for your data model. You have to mark properties virtual and suddenly GetType doesn't return the expected value. State tracking is actually not a great idea - causes many people to do dumb things like querying just to perform an update.

Entity Framework with state tracking turned off is better all around.

> [...] imagining how to maximize the profits for a single event

No, I am not interested in maximizing profits. I am only interested in eliminating resellers.

> Circumstances such as the fact events are generally a part of tours, that the artists likely want a diverse audience, that event sales have side effects on future sales and marketing, etc etc.

That's exactly my point: if currently tickets are grabbed by automated systems and resold for much higher prices, none of these goals are reached by the artists.
In the US, a health insurance company cannot price premiums based on health or any pre existing conditions.

> FYI Your health, medical history, or gender can’t affect your premium.

However, life insurance, long term disability insurance, and I presume other types of insurance are free to use health data for pricing. Of course, if genetic data was known to be worth it for predicting probability of death or disability by a certain age, those insurance companies would already be requiring applicants to provide genetic data.

> Not sure what you call near IR but JWST has a range from 600nm to 28micrometers. Typicaly people start talking about mid-air from 2 micrometers. So I would say JWST definitely covers beyond near IR.

JWST covers the mid-infrared too, as you implied. But @exabrial's point still stands, that SOFIA's coverage included much longer wavelengths than JWST does. SOFIA had instruments that could observe wavelengths as long as 1600 microns[0].

A single sperm cell can't. But you presumably have an awful lot of them in a single sample. So this seems irrelevant to the privacy concerns being discussed here.
Sometimes i sit and wonder how badly they missed the opportunity for building a better country. A place that consistently births brilliant minds, has vast mineral and oil resources, a large landmass, spans across two continents and has access to a large number of countries, yet it chose to be a bully perpetually stuck in mud. Imagine the level of development it could have achieved had it not chosen to always be so belligerent. A shame really. I hope russians get something better because this is below their level.
It's semantics at this point. Sure, given russian values, their preference to feel proud trumps life expectancy, healthcare, wealth, technological progress, ability to travel, etc. Being misinformed and brainwashed doesn't make you rational in your delusions.

> The only way to surely avoid nuclear war is to allow Russia an avenue to some kind of victory in Ukraine

It's easy to think that when you're thousands of miles away from Russia. But there's a reason top supporters of Ukraine (in terms of GDP) are Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Czech Republic and so on.

It is not the first expansionist war Russia has started. Any "victory" Russia gains means that next war is inevitable. Hell, this is their 3rd expansion into Ukraine, and every single time they claimed it was their last. And every single time they went a little bit further than the last.

If you believe they will stop after they're done with Ukraine, that's just wishful thinking.

I am an artist.

I want my fans to be able to come to my shows.

I sell my tickets at a reasonable price to allow my fans to come.

All the tickets get bought up and resold for prices a large majority of my fans can't afford.

The venue is still full of my fans, but only the wealthy ones, and I have no method to allow my less wealthy fans to be able to come to my shows.

I've also made notably less money that I would have if I sold my tickets at the scalper price.

I am no incentivized to sell at the scalper price permanently removing the ability for my less wealthy fans to attend my show.
Ask HN: Are memories just projections of our actual experience?
I don't have a clear definition of what "memories" are. For me they're mostly visual images of an experience.

These days I was somehow trying to pay attention to my feelings and thoughts in that moment and compare that set of things with the things I remember in a memory.

What I noticed was that I have more things that are in my attention when actually leaving the event vs when remembering it.

The present experience has a combination of sounds and smells and visual things and emotions and the way the skin feels when touching the insides of the jeans and the way our tongue feels a bit dry and a memory that comes about something a bit similar, etc.

But when we remember the memory, we only perceive a projection of the actual experience.

Open to discussion. Idea in progress.

How do you get rid of nuclear weapons entirely? Do you somehow erase the knowledge required to build nuclear weapons? How does this prevent knowledge/building from moving out of sight rather than actually disappearing? When I worked in a recycling facility in college I would collect old books off the conveyor describing nuclear engineering, how do you track me down to prevent that knowledge from proliferating?

Yes! Has the world gone crazy? Everyone is talking about the sacrifices they're willing to make to avert the risks potentially connected with climate change in many decades- and yet it seems that many accept the idea that in order to defend some principles it's fine to risk nuclear armageddon in the next month.

Because it is highly regulated, with no known examples of insurance companies and regulators colluding to incorporate health data for pricing purposes.

One approach is to talk to consulting/contracting companies. They usually have clients using different technologies. This might give you an opportunity to lead on the tech you're most familiar with (immediate value to the company) and still be able to learn new skills. People with the capacity and desire to pick up new technologies can be valuable in consulting/contracting roles. Also, if you explain what you're looking for in your cover letter, it might help screen for companies that match - avoid wasting time on interviews that won't go further.

Sling modifies website so you can't pause or cancel after Disney dispute
Sling has lost ESPN and other channels due to the Disney dispute (https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/dish-blackout-disney-espn-abc-carriage-dispute-1235390175/)

When attempting to cancel my subscription, I noticed they removed the cancel/pause links outlined here! https://www.sling.com/help/en/account-questions/account-changes/pause-cancel-subscription

Shady way to stem the tide of your customers leaving.

I then searched the HTML to find the the URLs (ex: https://www.sling.com/my-account/pause-subscription), however they modified the backend code as well, as the form submission just errors out with "We are unable to process your request. Please try again later."

The only way to cancel now is via Chat, but that just continues to say "We're experiencing longer wait times than usual. Please wait for the next available agent."
Here is an interesting perspective that I heard recently:

The (rational) mind is just another sense. As such, it has limits like the rest of the senses. For example our vision struggles with very close objects (we do not see our own eyelashes) or very distant objects. Similarly, very low or very high sound frequencies are outside the audible range of the human ear. Our rationality must also be limited in that sense.
My Viagogo experience in 2019. After an hour waiting in line for the event I get my ticket scanned only to realize they sold it to somebody else at the same time. Another 30 mins waiting at the security trying to get somebody from their call center to pick up the phone and tell me I was out of luck that day. I only got a refund in form of viagogo credits which expired worthless as there were no events happening due to covid. Buyer beware.
Mistypes shouldn't be that disasterous, enable all undo features (including persistent undo) and enjoy.
The same way we don’t make general artificial intelligence. We all agree not do it. It’s just too dangerous. Dismantle all the nuclear warheads, destroy the materials, erase the research and focus on nuclear power instead.

Whether or not we’ll be smart enough as a species to avoid these research paths and behaviors… I’m not holding my breath.
I'm thinking point to point. What else can do the job now? Look at the ukraine war. Smart weapons such as antitank and GPS-guided munitions rule, there. But aircraft aren't delivering them - antiair, including lasers are too good now. Even drones aren't surviving that long. Artillery launched smart weapons are scanty and expensive, the acceleration is just too rude. A quick reusable launch platform that's only up where it can be hit briefly but extends the range of a cluster of anti-tank missiles by several times is obviously useful. Maybe the main future delivery platform. HiMars is a weak and too-expensive version of this; but it's rockets too.
Could you share something that does make you think "this is good design"?
I'm not sure the same consideration applies to sunblock. The article makes the case that plants always "want" to let through the same quantity of light, but not necessarily the same proportion, while we ideally want to block 100% of UV all the time.
Personally, with things as serious as photo libraries, proprietary software is a no-go for me. I'd rather use something with community support like Lychee than pray that e.g. photostructure will be available years later.
>Okay but that completely misses the point of what they were communicating.

The comment I was replying to said

>When have you last yelled at someone to place the 3D image of a swarm of krill in their minds?

To which I say this is preposterous because the amount of data that could possibly fit inside of whale calls is orders of magnitude smaller than the data it would take to make a 3d image of a swarm of krill. Whatever it is they are saying, it must be a significantly compressed reduction, perhaps similar to the "map" that is communicated when you ask a stranger on the corner how to get somewhere. Why should one whale take the time transmit a literal 3d terrain map for another whale when mere driving instructions would suffice?
I’m not even arguing one shouldn’t be able to stumble upon it. Certainly no one should be the arbiter of such a decision. I’m saying it’s not a problem that they don’t. In the same way that it’s not a problem people don’t come across, say, pictures of baby Pygmy hippos (specifically) in their day to day life.

And honestly the lack of serendipitous baby Pygmy hippos is a much bigger problem than the absence of bomb making instructions.

Spreads are ordered, and try to match the semantics of object spreads at runtime. Intersection types don't do that, they express that the type is both things at the same time.

Indeed they likely attacked belgorod and crimea, but now there are ukranian troops on would be “russian ground”. Thats significantly different in putin’s mind.

No, we would not help in this.

This can actually destroy the Germany's economy-- destroy, and if that goes down, so does ours (i.e. Sweden's). The EU would be done as a project achieving any kind of regional independence, a second rate power for ever. Industrial competitiveness, once lost, stays lost.

I'd go as far as to say, that if Germany's energy situation actually destroys its industry in the way that can possibly happen, then the Ukraine war is small potatoes, strategically.
Like with Loki's wager, it's hard to say exactly where to draw the line. But I think most would agree that a company buying massive amounts of ticket with the sole intent to resell them at a profit is most certainly not a true fan.
They map onto same type as runtime spread, ie. order matters last one overwrites.
Think about more intermediate situations too. If scalpers are buying half the tickets for a concert, and doing so in a very effective way, they could be the difference between selling out in 2 minutes and selling out in 20 minutes.
Making any changes in a code of a driver without driven device is a recipe for a disaster. You have no way how to verify that change you made did not affected functionality of the device.
