Hmm, maybe, or maybe a video representation of the moment, endorsed and co-branded by the league and the athletes, will come to be as valuable or more valuable than a physical photo print of that moment as represented by trading cards.

A trading card doesn’t survive a house fire or flood. How can a card be a true artifact of sports history when its also just a derivative product?
But that podcast gets the story horribly wrong. It wasn't a metric-to-imperial conversion error; it was a metric-to-metric conversion error ... The pilots and ground crew had to convert from litres to kilograms and made a mistake by using the wrong conversion factor (they used pounds to kilograms if I recall correctly).

It's crazy that he brings an "expert" on to the show and they still get it wrong.
I think people played around with flutter and what I keep hearing from people is that flutter's performance leaves much to be desired.
When working with big complex applications, learning how to use them is no small investment. It's not a matter of which development methodology better or worse, what matters to me is whether or not I will see a return on my investment.

With GIMP and Godot and a few others, I'm not sure.
I think there’s an issue on how these data are examined.

There is a huge amount of data backing up the claim that the school attended influences the SAT, etc.

There is a huge amount of evidence backing up the claim that SAT/ACT aren’t 100% predictive of later academic success.

But “not being 100% predictive” does not mean “is not predictive”.

The core problem the removal of SAT, etc is attempting (imo hamfistedly) to mitigate is the following chain:

(1) Student A comes from affluent family, in an affluent region.

(2) Student A goes to a private school with better teachers, etc, or because it’s an affluent region the public schools have better teachers, etc

(3) Student A’s family can afford additional SAT, etc tutors

Now imagine a somehow identical Student B, but from a poor family in a poor region. Before any other factors become involved, they don’t get the benefits of 2 or 3.

We would expect that on average 2&3 result in higher scores, and so a higher acceptance rate, and a higher rate of scholarships for Student A vs Student B. Again this is on average.

The TLDR is given two kids who have identical mental ability, the one from the richer family will, on average, have better scores. So schools say let’s drop the scores entirely, but that is also clearly nonsense: Even in this exact scenario Student A will do better in uni or what have you, because part of why they got a better score is that they have been taught and learned more - IE they absolutely do know more and are more academically proficient than Student B by this point. Moreover we know (because of yet more studies), Student A will tend to continue to do better than Student B once they’re at school, even once B “catches up”, because we know that people with fewer external stressors perform better at everything.

So even if we discard the score based entry to unis, we’ll see a strong correlation between original score and subsequent academic success.

So while I understand the desire to remove the “accident of birth” factor that benefits the lucky and penalizes the unlucky, simply removing the test requirements is fairly questionable as an approach.

This is also before asking about Students C and D who are the peers of students A and B - surely the better scoring of A and C (or B and D) is who you should prefer, but now you’re discarding theoretically ideal and unbiased data in favour of…?
Not at all. We require school children to undergo medical procedures before they may participate in city-funded education. The tone of alarm is unwarranted. This is not a slippery slope situation.

I’ve compared direct rates with these travel “aggregators” many times, and the rates I get through expedia, etc., are always cheaper. Also, the hotel never treats me like crap. I have been treated like crap by hotels, but those occasions happened to be when I booked directly.

I obviously haven’t done the math and don’t have access to the data that would allow me to, but I suspect that for this application, you’d have to have an extremely compelling reason to complicate design and manufacturing with such an approach.
From https://www.dignited.com/93186/av1-vs-hevc/:

Compared to HEVC, AV1 is still relatively new hence it suffers limited hardware support. Again it is key to note that Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Qualcomm, and most hardware manufacturers already had support for the incumbent HEVC. That means that a hardware accelerated encoder can run HEVC 5x faster than AV1.

And…

A vast majority of devices in the market; phones, TVs, tablets, cameras, browsers, professional-grade applications, etc come with a built-in ability to decode HEVC. Even those coming from the founding fathers of the AV1 codec have added support for HEVC.

This points to the real problem with GPA. The institution assigning GPAs to students have a strong incentive to inflate GPAs. If colleges only looked at GPAs, high schools would inevitably give in to the temptation to give away perfect scores like candy, and students from schools retaining some shred of dignity would suffer for it. Standardized exams, for all their faults, are standardized, and don't have this problem.

Except they do. Google Pay / Wallet is built in Flutter, and so was Stadia. It's a bit nonsensical to think that they'd rewrite every existing app they have in Flutter, even if it is their own toolkit. Google doesn't believe Flutter is the be all, end all in app development. But it is certainly the best cross platform app toolkit out there. But guess what, Gmail and their other apps don't use a cross platform framework, so the statements "Swift UI makes it easier to brand your iOS app" and "Flutter is a great cross platform app framework" aren't mutually exclusive, hell Flutter can even use SwiftUI views as part of it's Widget hierarchy via PlatformViews.

But SAT is the aptitude test, and recognizing the importance of aptitude and working on that aspect would benefit the candidate greatly. You are supposed to be able to work and improve urself and benefit from it. A person is not an static object. What happened to `bring the best out of oneself`?
While I’m not doubting you would personally do as you say, I would point out that as someone living somewhere with quite lax tenants rights and a nationally recognised housing emergency (Australia), landlords not renting to people because tenants rights are too onerous doesn’t seem to have a particularly large impact on housing availability.

Whereas some tenants rights seems to have a pretty large positive impact - ie all the positive effects of secure housing.

Of course ymmv in your local housing market.

FWIW, there was a vocal contingent of Marxists on Twitter who saw the mandates for the erosion of worker power and rights that they were, and vigorously opposed them.

Sadly, though, some of the most awful scapegoaters of the unvaccinated were indeed on the "left." Noam Chomsky even said they should be excluded from society completely, and if that meant they couldn't even obtain food, well, that would be their problem.
It measures your ability to perform on a new subject after studying for it, plus your willingness to study. The fact that you can study for it and improve your score (but not entirely - raw abilities still matter) is a feature not a bug.

I disagree with both you and the columnist that somehow the poor quality of the hotel is in any way relevant to this story.

She had, in the practical if not precise legal sense, a contract with Booking.com that she would pay them $150, and they would ensure she had a room at a specific hotel for that night.

Regardless of whether she'd booked the Ritz Carlton or a crummy Quality Inn, she had paid Booking.com for a night in a hotel. They were responsible to deliver that to her.

Halfway decent customer service would have, at the very least, entailed a room at the closest available equivalent or better hotel (not difficult in this case since it sounds like just about any property would qualify) and the cost of transportation there and back.

On another note to travelers: don't book hotels through an OTA (Online Travel Agency like Booking.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor and the like) unless you have to. Nearly every property in America now has a "best price guarantee" that lets you get the best possible price direct from them. And you'll often additionally be eligible to earn status and points on the hotel's own program.

DO book direct with the hotel/chain, or a traditional travel agent for higher-end properties who might have access to increased perks (aka Signature Travel, FHR etc.), and DO pay with a credit card that offers trip insurance so that if you find yourself in a situation like the above, you have some coverage.
Doesn't mean they need to require a google account to provide that info though; It definitely costs more to maintain a good privacy portal, which is probably why the companies I've seen do it either list an email address in their privacy policy and handle it ad-hoc, or they use one of the P/S-aaS providers that handle the portal ( and the concerns with owning the data for the types validating documentation people provide )

Don't discount the bump from understanding the pacing and difficulty of the exam. You might have 25 questions in 30 minutes for a math section. Understanding that which sections are easy and which are hard allows a student who has seen the exam before to allocate their time more efficiently.
The phenomenologists, most notably Husserl, had this figured out about a hundred years ago.

What the authors did here was reground it in neuroscience (scientific materialism) rather than the generic philosophical primitives of phenomenology (which in this case fade into the background a bit, although they remain relevant to all empirical work per se), and draw out some of the impacts of that shift.

>>> I had the extreme luck of having excellent teachers around me. That helps one from running astray.

I can't comment on my intelligence per se without being either self promoting or self deprecating. ;-) But I'm indebted to having good teachers for getting me through college math and physics, and for a professor to teach me how to do research. Working against whatever intelligence I possessed, was my lack of organization and focus, and the structure of the academic environment was vital for me.

Oddly enough, there were other things that I learned easily on my own such as electronics and programming. So I can't say that all things need to be taught by teachers, or even that a single person can follow a single heuristic.

Another reason GPA is problematic: it's sexist. Male students face structural barriers when it comes to college acceptance, to the point where a woman is ~50% more likely to get a college admission. Male students tend to both score higher on average on the SATs and have a higher variance. Deemphasizing SATs in favor of GPA (which itself is a discriminatory measure-- teachers systemically show bias against boys when it comes to grades, particularly boys of color) is exacerbating the structural barriers boys face when it comes to attending university.
> The companies who invested money in Stadia may not have the same opinion.

That has no relation to whether something is B2C or B2B. Stadia is a consumer product, ie for consumers.

You have a point there about those other ones, but honestly, those are so few and far between that I'm sure you had to search somewhat carefully to find them. I highly doubt many devs were actually using those (besides Angular, but it was replaced with 2+ because React came onto the scene, it didn't get deprecated with no replacement).

So basically this is Subscription/Recurring Invoice based on usage/metered billing. SaaS/Hosting provider/Electricity provider etc

Try/Check Zoho Subscriptions (I am happy customer of "Zoho Subscriptions") - They support Many features, metered billing, Payment Methods, Many Integrations etc. Without taking much data (except what is needed minimal). And very good tech as well as non-tech customer support! And they charge reasonably fixed, transparent and predictive price.

I understand need and pain point and multiple players can exist, Key is to have transparent pricing. (You can always have custom plan/discount/ change in pricing in future etc for future customer).

Also who is your target customer?
Tech company may likely implement their own billing software or use existing proven players.

I think (Happy to be wrong!) -
1. Trying to find Non-Core-Tech/Offline subscriptions service and what are their pain points?
2. Why only usage based billing?

I know there are very less tools/software for SaaS/recurring/Subscriptions based billing (Zoho, Chargebee, Recurly, Shopify few of them) so wish you good luck.

I thought that the DX was rather poor last time I played with Dart (not Flutter). Package docs suck when it comes to describing a package’s API and types (not sure if this is the package’s fault but I was expecting Go-like docs). I expected better from a typed language.

I also didn’t have a nice time with the package manager. I had to manually create the pubspec.yml file to even start installing packages.

Maybe I missed some crucial docs, but I was rather annoyed throughout the whole experience.
They don't not bother. They just do it by gut feel without writing anything down about how they're doing it. Admissions counselors at elite high schools "network" with admissions offices at universities to benefit their students in this process. This is common knowledge in the industry to the point that foreign elite high schools, which have a harder time getting name-recognition, spend a pretty sum of money periodically sending their representatives on month-long US trips to go around, say, the top 30 US universities to market their brand.
