The Dutch Auction idea in the article is actually really simple and cuts out the complexity that comes with transfer limits, ID-must-match rules, etc.

To me it sounds like they reached a point where servo met their needs for R&D and to bolster Firefox. Having a team dedicated to that in the long term can certain run multi-millions—but after hitting that milestone it’s then up to the community to move it forward with some maintenance dollars on the Firefox side perhaps.

Can’t speak about the CEO salary but if they can generate more revenue than the servo team I suppose that’s a potential win?

Going back to main idea though: Google indirectly funded Servo and rust development by supporting a competitor.

It always helps to work together :)
- Digital only tickets
- By default, the tickets are not transferrable. Use your app on your phone to get in.
- You can pay a fee to make tickets transferrable/scalpable.
- The fee increases as more tickets are sold with this option (set ceiling on max number of tickets with this option sold)

So okay, you want to scalp tickets, you have to pay more and people who don't want to transfer pay less.
Wow, this is a spicy take but i'll go ahead and bite the bait. why on earth should i be angry that parenthesis are used to de-reference pointers? TFA doesn't ever explain that part, it's just implied that I should be outraged somehow.

It seems like Effective Altuism is just an excuse to be an asshole.
I think I can live with the approach of banning transfers but still offering refunds.

Seems like it would make deter scalpers since they'd have to show up at the concert or provide you with a fake ID which might not work.
I don't see why the Dutch auction doesn't address your concerns. The starting price can be higher, the price drop can be non-linear and third party software using the concert's API can serve customers by providing them with the same information scalpers would have.
Lol fuck no, HN wears me down. 4chan is like having a beer with buddies shooting the shit and throwing some banter.

HN is like a forced "after office" with snob coworkers you don't get along with, and you have to tiptoe around the topics and what you say, while HR is around. It has interesting moments, though.
AXS allows them to resell on their own platform, so "the account that purchased the tickets" doesn't have to be the one that originally purchased the tickets.

I don't get what this has to do with combating scalping. This is just a new auction game to play. It levels the playing field for a time, as all new games do, but the scalpers will eventually win it.

In this case the game is to find X where X is the percent of concert goers willing to pay scalpers. Then you buy the bottom X% of tickets for the current price and list them for more money. This is easy to do because the auction site tells you the number of remaining tickets.

Since there's no supply of auction tickets left, scalpers can now set the price. And since they paid the lowest price out of any of the ticket holders, they hold all the power.
How do you think governments force people to do things they otherwise wouldn’t do?

Okay, so I'll assume that 2035 is their most optimistic estimate. Assuming it's true, why have we dramatically reduced our energy supply now in 2022? Has the role of our governments changed into one that forces policy upon us, even when the policy is ill planned? How does this make us stronger, better, or safer? I'm not trying to shoot it down, but shouldn't such a drastic national/worldwide government policy get some review and maybe even a vote from the people (under the democratic governments)?

May I suggest "oversaw"?

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/oversee

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/overlook

Even though both words have older meanings that are somewhat opposite of their current meanings, "oversee" is normally used today to mean "supervise" or "superintend" (in fact, I suspect "oversee" could be a calque of "supervise"), while "overlook" is normally used to mean "ignore" or "fail to perceive".
By the way, if anyone is captivated by the concept of the game being talked about at the top of this post, check out Zachtronics games. They’re all about programming to solve puzzles.
Yes, it includes resale on its own platform. As I noted, I'm not sure this prevents scalping, but it seems like it would require bulk scalpers to create a large number of accounts, and presumably it allows AXS to take a cut and to monitor it.

Also I believe they limit the resale markup to 10% above the face value. This seems good for buyers and fair to sellers, and it may also reduce the profit for scalpers.

I imagine they could also ban resale of tickets for certain shows if they wanted to.

EVs were never the threat. Most gas-powered cars are moving in the same direction as EVs because that is where the industry in general has been going for a while: heavy emphasis on technology, apps, subscriptions, safety features like lane keep assist and automatic braking, and eventually self-driving features -- most of which is done in software, and the mechanical stuff is too complex and expensive for most non-experts to fix.

It might sound like I just described a Tesla, but a new gas-powered Volvo does all that stuff too.
The newest stickshift I've driven was a 2018 with computer controlled suspension, fancy-smancy-brake/"torque vectoring" stuff, and optional revmatching on downshifts.

To be honest, with the rest of the car doing so much already to augment my driving skills (it responded beautifully, but it definitely wasn't my skill), the stick felt incredibly anachronistic.

That was the experience that made me OK with it going away in the future... It'll still be there on old cars, which are still a unique experience, but it's a bit off IMO on new ones.
Tom Mueller is a highly respected engineer, and just because what he says doesn't align with your narrative or belief doesn't mean he is singing praises.

Oh by the way, Tom Mueller made that tweet after he left SpaceX.
I've had an EV since 2016, and I'm a huge manual fan, but the things I like about manual are almost without exception already there in an EV. What really grinds my gears, so to speak, with an auto trans is being in the wrong gear for what's coming up, say when waiting for an opening to overtake.

As you say, the EV has smooth, instant power available all the time, and good "engine breaking". The only thing it's missing is the nostalgia of winding through the gears and the symphony of the engine, exhaust, and drivetrain. But the smooth, powerful acceleration, is there in the EV.
Equally the x64 emulation in Windows 11 works just fine if you run an ARM64 Windows 11 VM.
I agree, we don't live in a vacuum of meanings. Quite the opposite, we are bombarded by all kinds of values and meanings, coming from our social environment.

The problem is that some people realise that those meanings do not satisfy them, they do not work in some circumstances, that there is something more. So the people start raising difficult questions. They search for other kind of meanings and profound values, from the inside.

Absolutely the latter. My surprise comes more from FTX seemingly not even trying to do some kind of key protection scheme; it seems as though they made it easy for this seizure to happen. To my mind, this speaks large volumes about the quantity of misplaced confidence in these firms.

I think you are comparing emission for few people with entire population. Is that even a fair arithmetic?

If you are really gonna do the arithmetic please do 1 vs 1. So, 1 politician/elites private usage vs 1 average citizen carbon emission.
The idea is that everyone willing to pay more than $X for tickets bought their tickets before the scalpers can buy it for $X.

> and it seems like the number of major car companies that could license their software is rapidly falling (Tesla and GM definitely have their own in-house competitors, and other major car companies probably do as well). So how do they actually make money? They're billions of dollars into this project, and it just seems like they've missed their market window.

I think this argument answers itself.

If you’re the only company with this technology, you get to license it to everyone. If you are the tenth company, you will have a hard time finding licensees, so why bother spending the billions?

If it really costs so much to develop, the equilibrium is for only a few entities to make that investment and sell it to everyone else.
I have found it useful for driving in hill country (to avoid having to ride the brakes downhill) but beyond that I'm not sure there's much practical benefit. I used to think you could downshift to buy you more time to coast to a stop without having to touch the brake and save some gas, but I think even using the brakes is enough to get a modern car to cutoff fuel flow.
Better solution is to just price the tickets higher. Scalpers are only taking advantage of arbitrage. This requires a bit of complex demand estimation up front though.
Pretty scary that you were allowed to do that, where I am in the world if you take your driving test in an automatic car you only get an automatic licence, but if you take it in a manual car you can drive manual and automatic
> how SBF's (perceived) status as a white male impacted his trajectory. I don't think it's bait, when it's the thrust of the essay.

It's provocative and dishonest for him to not once acknowledge SBF's privileged circumstances or well-connected family, something which directly aided in his success and that the vast majority of people wouldn't be able to replicate. The post is generally well-written and makes some salient points, but it's obvious that the author shoe-horned in SBF. A different person, like the topically relevant Elizabeth Holmes, may have made a more cohesive argument.

> It's still clearly provocative to suggest Bankman-Fried's Stanford educated, genuinely "privileged" upbringing as the son of well known Stanford professors is somehow reflective of hundreds of millions of people rather than his own circumstances. Doing something for clickbait doesn't somehow make it not provocative.

ID.me also had the task of assigning passwords for the SSA's purposes during the COVID era. Its instructions were mis-leading at best, and the passwords did not work. Utter failure at a time when SS was severely short-handed.

When the question-answering was done, it quickly arrived at a diagnosis and provided clear instructions on proceeding. Kudos to whoever provided that service. Night and day.

If the Taycan didn't have two gears, they would have optimized for efficiency at 70mph, with a compromise of decent (not crazy) acceleration below that speed and a falloff of acceleration power over 100mph.

Since it has two gears, they were able to make one shorter for acceleration and another taller for top speed.

Tesla does something similar but by using different motor types and final drive ratios on each axle.

If you gear an EV for highway speeds with a single final drive ratio, (this is what most EVs do) then you get acceleration better than most midrange gas cars, good highway efficiency, but acceleration power tends to fall off at speeds over 80mph-100mph.

The reason to add gears is if you want even better acceleration and/or better high speed performance.
Genocides in both Rwanda and Cambodia were carried out by broad swathes of the populations. In Rwanda in particular, you had neighbor killing neighbor using machetes. Something similar happened in Indonesia. Likewise the Cultural Revolution in China. There wasn't much need for a Judas as there was nowhere to hide or no small group of people to hide from.

Though given the scope of these events you'd expect to see every variation of human behavior many times over, so of course there are countless situations of betrayal and subterfuge, and these stories tend to resonate with people as they're highly personal and emotionally charged. People in more developed societies (or maybe just societies which emphasis individualism and individual moral agency, like many Western nations) find it difficult to fathom how such brutality could unfold at the hands of individuals without the interpersonal drama to help contextualize and connect to their own experiences.

I wrote a slack bot for a college club that liked to share music recommendations. We only had the free tier of Slack and were losing old recommendations as the messages were deleted and there wasn't an easy way to listen to all of them at once. I added a bot so that any spotify link sent to the channel is automatically added to a running playlist I own.

I have code running now at work that gets millions of requests a day and I'm not sure it's more "impactful". I'm not sure how many customers would notice or care if it disappeared, but the slack bot broke once and a couple people messaged me pretty quickly to let me know.

At my company I've been on a crusade to get meetings to start at :05 or :35. We already used Google's "speedy meetings" but that works by _ending_ meetings early. The problem is that never works. People aren't diligent enough to actually stop early. But no one will start a meeting before its scheduled time. And if people do join early, they can socialize and build social connections for a few minutes.

Having those extra 5 minutes between meetings is not only important mentally, but physically too! You can get water, stretch, hit the lou, or for those of us back in the office, walk between rooms.

The main downside is that it takes a few extra clicks whenever you create a meeting. But it's worth it.

The late start is slowly catching on. I recommend trying it!

I wish Google would fix their speedy meetings to support this: https://jedfonner.com/2022/10/18/better-speedy-meetings

That's just dodging the key question. Obviously the government has some rationale other than that they're taking it because they can. The problem is that they're still taking money that's owned by someone else, even if it's controlled by SBF.

RDP is really quite impressive. I host Windows VMs on a Linux server. With quickemu[0] you can fire up a Windows Vm in minutes. It fetches the ISO, sets everything up - even breezes through setup, creates a user, does KMS for activation, etc. One command and a few minutes later you're looking at a Windows desktop. Setup Remote Desktop (with SSH forwarding or VPN of course) and you have a remarkably responsive (even at 4k single and dual display) GUI experience and powerful remote connection - file sharing, sound forwarding, clipboard sharing, even printers and arbitrary devices.
