I agree.

And I'm a huge fan of new possibilities.

BUT most of the musical operations we see in the digital world are not "new possibilities", but rather cheap imitations of previous work. Samples, drum machines, simulations, emulations, modeling, etc.

And especially the separation of the musician playing the instrument from the sound making mechanism. That's a biggie. It's a kind of alienation, and that's going to have a dramatic negative effect.

And this is consistent with the original complaint about modern pop music not being very good. Sure, the key change might not be the best example, but the point still stands. If there are so many new possibilities, why does the music suck?

They made it easy to move the funds around on purpose, so that they could move the funds around any time they wanted. "They" being a very small handful of people, maybe just SBF himself, maybe a couple others. They didn't want it to be hard to move funds because that would require more accountability. Accountability was the last thing they wanted.

It seems like everything else is mostly the same except your alias approach has some downsides that the OP's maybe doesn't:

"Important: While these directions let you send emails from a custom email alias at your domain, email recipients can still find your personal Gmail address if they inspect the email headers. Emails from your alias are not digitally signed and are more likely to be flagged as spam."

I think randomized queues are pretty fair. You give everyone who arrives within a certain time the same chance. This wouldn't be too hard to implement as a system either.

Say ticket sales open at 2pm. From 1:45pm, everyone who gets to the site gets assigned a random queue number. Then from 2pm, users are given access to the ordering system in the order of their queue number. We can even limit throughput with that (e.g. let in n users per minute).

Ticket sites in South Korea already implement queueing systems to control server load. When sales open at 2pm, everyone refreshes the page at exactly that time, but the request is put in a waiting queue. This can be considered randomized in a way (the time someone refreshes the page is somewhat random), but I'd like to see the concept of "advance queue building time" added to that to reduce the stress of "I have to refresh the page exactly at the right moment." Give me a few minutes to get to the queue.
That's a problem but it's Russia's problem, not ours. For the US and Europe, every month of the campaign in Ukraine, every month of utilizing Russian equipment and personnel, buys at least a year of peace for the whole Europe. At the end of this war Russia will be at bay for another 50-100 years. That's awesome!

I think you misread my comment.

If you're using a Windows app as part of your Mac workflow (which is often the case if Fusion is being used), you'll put files in a shared mount so the Mac and Windows apps have access to the storage they're on. This doesn't work if you have to transfer files across the internet to start the Windows side of your workflow.

For example, a Windows reporting tool that reads from an sqlite database, which was generated with a Mac workflow, while I'm sitting at a coffee shop.

And, the nicest thing about fusion is that each Windows app appears as a native window, which RDP doesn't seem to have.

Another interesting angle to this is that the funds were collected in various different currencies, but all of them were converted into ETH. And they weren't converted carefully to make sure they got the full value, no attempt at OTC deals or anything; they were converted in a rush and dumped on the open market. This resulted in pretty clear loss of funds. It seems like a strange way for a government to operate.

That's not all: They also seized the funds with SBF's help after FTX had declared bankruptcy and SBF had stepped down as CEO. General counsel for FTX at the time indicated they were surprised by the fund movement and unaware of what was going on[1]. Shouldn't the Bahamas have been communicating with the people actually in charge of FTX at the time? Aren't those the people who would legally be in control of the funds?

> Given this, I am concerned that further relaxation of standards in an effort to train more doctors won't lead to better outcomes.

The high standards certainly prevent people who are unable to meet the standars from practicing medicine, but they also prevent people who are able to but see the standards as unreasonably onerous and pursue something else. Some of those could have been great doctors but looked at the steps and said nope, I'm not going to go to med school, then hope I can get a residency, in which case I get to have a hellish schedule and little autonomy for at least three years, and then probably a hellish schedule and little autonomy for many more years.

I just rebooted the server, now if the websocket disconnects (person closes the browser) it will kill the processing and move the queue, so that should help unclog the queue.

An ICU unit isn't exactly a single room. There are different configurations but they typically involve some sort of centralized monitoring station and 5-20 ICU "beds". Total cost of that / number of beds. Everything in hospital construction is expensive, ICUs are at the extreme end of that. Huge power requirements, medical gas lines, fixturing and surfaces needs to be able to be disinfected, special air, special water, on and on. It has requirements very similar to an operating theatre.

The reason they cost so much even if no one is in them is because of what a "bed" means. It isn't the literal bed, it is a unit a treatable/treating capacity. Requiements vary somewhat by jurisdiction but it's going to mean 24/7/365 nursing and attending doctor staff. You can't just call them in when a patient shows up, they need to be scheduled and available. Then ICUs will also need a large cadre of oncall specialists, neurologists, cardiac, laboratory testing staff, and on an on to cover a huge range of possible patient needs. Stocked blood units, stocked medicine units. All those things have costs whether a patient in in the bed or not. Hospitals to a large extent spend an incredible amount of money on capacity. No wants wants to end up in a hospital to have them say, "oops, we didn't expect your spleen to rupture today, Dr. Bob won't be in till next tuesday so you are out of luck, sorry"
Back when I wrote a lot of x86 assembly in the late 90's/early 2000's, I used NASM (the Netwide Assembler). It was the most natural syntax. Very similar to MASM and TASM but without the unnecessary cruft (no "dword ptr", etc.) It was a pleasure to work with.
I wonder if part of the issue is having to remember a bunch of random things about a bunch of different people so that you can apply the information at the relevant time. E.g. the left arm is easier to find a vein, but this information is only useful for 30 seconds a day during a blood draw, so it's hard for people to remember or even retrieve (how much notes do you have to read through to find this info?)

If the info were somehow magically there when needed, it would be used, right?
Primarily: don't beat yourself up over it.

Life is fairly random. You end up with people, problems, and cultures you’re ill fitted for. Or are even outright toxic. All you have to go on is the interview and sketchy Glassdoor reviews to make an assessment. It can seem that the team seems great, but you get stuck with a boss that doesn’t suit you well or a poor team. You mostly can’t control this stuff.

Often we can switch teams or jobs before you’re let go, but other times we just get blindsided by a layoff or being fired.

Be realistic about the very very small set of things you influence.

I honestly find presidential pardons to be fascinating. The whole idea that a single person can completely subvert the justice system without any true checks and balances is really interesting. It reminds me of monarchy, except that if King Charles (say) attempted to use his legal right to step in and stop justice like this, there would be a revolution, yet it's completely fine for a president to do the same thing on a whim.

No, it means that the government and insurance companies already don’t pay what they are charging. You should look into the rebate system in the US. Pharma companies charge high sticker prices only to knock them back down to very low prices via a “rebate” for insurers. Insurers aren’t paying hundreds of dollars for the insulin that it would cost a normal consumer to buy, they are paying tens of dollars that is in line with what people expect insulin to cost.
This is unhinged.

I miss contemplating the content I watch. The attention economy has really perverse incentives. No thinking, only consuming.
I posit brand ads require more staffing, because they require more sales efforts to get advertisers to buy. Direct response is easier to measure the ROAS, but for brand ads, it's a really good idea to have someone selling ads constantly to your existing clients. Otherwise, many clients in the mid-size space ($100k-$5M/year, approximately) probably can't measure their return, which means those budgets are always at risk of being cut.

With direct response, even data-naive decision makers can figure the value of.

They had a Verified Fan system to limit how many could purchase during a presale, but all that really required was being signed up for Taylor's email list and having purchased a Midnights CD from her online store.

I think they messed up here by only running one fan presale, since it made them predict how many tickets each person with a code would actually purchase. They probably underestimated this number (eg. from people tagging along with their friend who got into the presale), so they ended up selling way more than they thought they would. I suspect this because, at one point, I had 16k people in front of me for 1 night at Mercedes-Benz[0], which is a lot given concert capacity is probably around 50k.

With a two-wave presale (or even "verified fan presale only"), you can put out tickets in even smaller waves and continuously evaluate how many you're giving out based on demand and order ticket quantities.

X isn't the price in my solution it's the percent of concert hopefuls who will hold their nose and pay a scalper. Once there's exactly that many tickets left, there's no point running the auction anymore. Scalpers should use their bots to completely buy up all remaining tickets, as they do now, and then set them for a higher price on the secondary market.

Buying the first 1-X% tickets nearly guarantees you will pay more than the scalp price except for a thin band right before X where the prices are within the scalper's margin.

Basically this system only beats scalpers if everyone is richer than scalpers, which most concertgoers are not. If you're rich you might like the sound of this new system on paper but it's actually cheaper for you to stay with the current system and buy all your tickets on the secondary market.

An engine with lots of torque at idle is actually the worst for this learning exercise as it makes it too easy.

In the system that I can resell my ticket I don't have a loss, in a system where it's by name I can't

I believe it should be auctioned anyway, so that the people with the highest desire to go can put their money towards it. This is the most practical solution to the problem - the organizers get paid what the tickets are worth, anyone who wants to go knows how much the tickets will go for, scalpers become futures traders
What about a system where only some fraction of the ticket sale has to present matching ID?

Example 1: Limit of 6 tickets per purchase. I buy 6 tickets, I invite 5 friends. I show ID at the door and it doesn't matter which 5 friends I bring with me.

Example 2: Same deal, but instead we're allowed 1 "flex" ticket in case someone backs out. Or some proportion allowed as flex.

Obviously this still allows scalping, but it seems less attractive for a scalper to have to attend with the people they're scalping to. Especially if you make 50% of the group show ID.
If I were to implement it, I would have a custom B+tree where you have a double-layer. The "upper" half of the tree the blocks are sorted by the "key". Once you get to the "leaf" nodes of the upper layer, you have a "lower layer" that contains blocks, all with the same key (or omit it), but sorted by the timestamp/tx instant. You get O(log(n) + log(m)) for historical queries, but O(log(n)) for "current" queries.

Or you can just index all modifications to all keys and have them ordered by key then tx, which will give you O(log(n)), but where your n is all values that have ever been set set.
Its not a leap once a century thing, it's a rejigger the timezones by an hour every four to five thousand years. (either define new zones one hour over or redefine existing ones)

We already rejigger the time zones from time to time, so thats already handled. It's still a source of issues, sure, but it's once source instead of two.

The timezone rejiggering could also be set hundreds of years in advance... rather than the very short notice we get for leap seconds.
