An artist can demand no resale of tickets, and ID check at the door (TM tickets have the buyers name printed on them), LCD Soundsystem has done this when their fans got angry at a similar scenario.

Swift hasn't. And probably won't in the future, thats the gist of it.

TM claimed (and I have no reason to not believe them) they got 5 billion requests when tickets went live. So you break up the monopoly and Swift can now sign with a different ticket seller next tour. Which other website will handle the 5 billion requests properly? Without hours of queues or random raffles? Fans are lucky the TM website didn't completely shut down for 2 days because of the traffic

As long as the tickets are sellable, as long as people will pay more for a ticket than a new car, people (even diehard fans) will resell
Yes — that non-locality on the surface is because the braiding structure is non-local when projected.

You are correct and I misspoke:

You don’t lose the information, it becomes non-local on the surface — and so if you’re building a model of the interior from a local sampling of the surface, you get a statistical model built on pseudoknots (again, like a shadow from a lamp).

Given that Apple and Google (at least) are collaborating on a shared standard, shouldn't lock-in to an ecosystem not be a thing?

How about blaming the criminals? The inadequate policing and utter lack of investigative follow-through? The half-asses leadership?

The people attacked in these reports are photographers helping people at their weddings. Are those people disconnected, entitled people who need to be violently robbed to teach them a lesson or something?

How about blaming the people who do wrong? That’s a novel thought. Or maybe even stretch and blame the people whose entire job is catching and punishing the small number of people who are ruining things for normal people.
> The SECOND problem is that slashing the labor pool, and thus reducing the labor cost

Just to clarify, did you mean slashing a given company’s jobs? The labor pool is the group of people in the job market available to perform a function. Slashing _that_ would drive salaries and thus labor costs up, not down.

I have no doubt that she could equity finance it considering she can guarantee sell-outs at every venue she plays.

> And even if the problem were fixed for TS events, what about all the other ever present ticketmaster rip-offs?

This is the real problem. The biggest artists doing this might hurt Ticketmaster's bottom line, but there are a ton of smaller venues that book artists that don't have the guarantee of selling out and can't just decide to self-finance tours on public grounds...

"I am the customer mentality" has been with FOSS and Linux for awhile, but one wishes people might shake themselves out of their stupor for 2 seconds to realize: "You're getting all this stuff for free." Instead, every user wants to man the battlements on Reddit and tell devs how to do the thing.

Though I suppose seeing the people you care about getting killed or injured also "isn't a memory you want in your head," either. Seems like a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of situation.

The issue is there is no competition amongst _type of auction_ being used to sell a scarce resource.

Ticketmaster essentially gives tickets to insiders + high spending fans first (this loyalty based prioritization happened in Taylor Swift sales). A new company might say reserve tranches of tickets for different age groups or income groups, etc. to reward more types of fans (not just super spenders).

You're right that it's a scarce resource, but I don't think that justifies a monopoly on the distributor of that scarce resource.

I agree, but in absence of an accurate method this felt like the second best method.

Then there's also the elephant in the room that I'd like to write an article about some time: The decoder/translator + uop-cache in the front end has a devastating effect on instruction fetch & decode performance. That silicon eats power, could be used for better things (larger L1I cache etc), adds latency, limits how wide you can decode, and so on.

Rationale: CISC is not just about density. With good RISC you can get much better fetch & decode bandwidth (all other things being equal). E.g. see Apple silicon.

We live in a distopia where one of the last search engines that returns real results related to anything the western mainstream "hidden forces" do not want you to be able to see is Yandex, a company located under a dictatorship. In 2022, the only way for a regular citizen to approximate what is reality, what is the "truth", is to look for information provided from the opposite side of any argument you're trying to understand more of. Everything is fake or hidden from you. It's the stable diffusion distopia.

> Is that really the catch?

Yes, users don't know about this. That is clear from the above quotes.

> Reddit didn't get to where they are today by saying "we totally allow free speech".

I don't know whether shadow moderation was necessary for Reddit to grow. They certainly don't inform users about it. That's manifested by the secrecy inherent in the feature itself.

> I think people understand that, especially when they're using an iPhone[0,1], everything they see is going to be filtered

People expect that authors are informed when their content is removed. That isn't happening with any consistency on any of the platforms, and it's built into the system. It is not a choice made by mods.

> they'll know if they're on a "true free speech" platform as soon as the platform shows then pro-nazi images

That's just the result of sidelining today's unpopular extreme. At both 60 and 120 years ago, information about gay marriage or contraception was considered to be immoral by those in power. It depends who's in charge. The environment will flip at some point, so don't give up your free speech principles. The shoe will eventually be on the other foot.
> Today, we announce torch.compile, a feature that pushes PyTorch performance to new heights and starts the move for parts of PyTorch from C++ back into Python.

I'll admit I don't know enough about PyTorch to know what torch.compile is exactly. But does this means some features of PyTorch will no longer be available in the core C++ library? One of the nice things about PyTorch had been that you could do your training in Python then deploy with a pure C++ application.

>This may have once been true, but isn't really anymore.

It's still true in my experience. But then again, Rust does change really fast. Maybe they fixed their entire bleeding edge demographic in the last couple weeks and now people refrain from using $latest features that don't work in rustc from 3 months ago.

I appreciate LazerPig's take on the subject (The whole video is a fun watch, but this is the yacht specific part): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRDPd0MiopM&t=375s

Essentially it's keeping up with the joneses. Turns out rich people are, on average, more lucky than they are original or skilled. They're generally subject to the same personality flaws as any person making 40k/year or less, but whereas the person making 40k/year has financial constraints on how much they can indulge their character flaws, the deca-millionaire or greater does not. Money is an accelerant, and if you're already deeply insecure (as most obsessive workaholics that become billionaires are) money will only make you more so.

Looking closer, I see that the difference between the latest busybox i686 and x86_64 versions is not large:

busybox (i686) 2022-01-17 17:40 1.0M
busybox (x86_64) 2022-01-17 18:53 1.1M

However, the savings on ARM Thumb appears to be larger, even for the various 32-bit binaries (v7m is Thumb, as I understand it):

busybox-armv7m 2019-06-10 14:02 867K
busybox-armv5l 2019-06-10 14:02 1.1M
busybox-armv7l 2019-06-10 14:02 1.1M
busybox-armv7r 2019-06-10 14:02 1.1M
busybox-armv8l 2019-06-10 14:02 1.1M

Strange that Super-H is this large, as it inspired Thumb:

Difficulty: railroad pensions are some of the only half-decent ones left in the whole country, and a lot of these workers will take a big hit on their retirement for leaving early (years of delay in when the pay-outs start, much smaller amount than if they'd finished at the RR, et c.)

This lock-in give the companies more leeway to abuse the workers if the unions are prevented from functioning to protect them. Which is what's happened thanks to Congress throwing the workers under the bus.
The plastics industry dodged the issue/controversy by eliminating BPA. While BPA is by far the worst endocrine disruptor, it is extremely likely that all the plastics that you are currently "safely" using contain endocrine disruptors.

You should be avoiding storing consumables in plastics as much as possible. At that point microwaves become perfectly safe.
You are correct. COVID is different from other respiratory illness I'm aware of (not a doctor) in that when it gets serious that way it interferes with oxygen intake but not getting rid of CO2. Which drives the breathing reflex so you can get "happy hypoxia," where oxygen blood levels get dangerously, perhaps lethally low and the patient doesn't realize it, especially since hypoxia is insidious.

Another difference perhaps is that the SOP treatment, US, U.K., don't know where else is to give anyone bad off enough to require supplemental oxygen a steroid to suppress the innate immune system.

> This is such an odd thing for a payment professional to say. Are you under the impression that debit transactions don't run on Visanet?

I think you're misunderstanding me. That's not what I was saying at all.

My argument is that payment networks, issuers and acquirers should not decide unilaterally what kinds of lawful merchants, customers and transactions they permit. I'm talking about various merchant acquirers not permitting lawful gun or drug sales, networks going after OnlyFans in 2021, and PayPal shutting down WikiLeaks' account back in 2010. [1,2]

I don't necessarily agree with what these people or businesses are doing personally but it is not my decision to make nor should it be that of any other private entity. If they are lawful, they should be permitted. If they aren't then the business owners/operators should be prosecuted - or at minimum there should be a legal proceeding that can be appealed by the target party when payments processing is suspended.

Somehow we hold domain name registrars to a higher standard than the aggregate of payments entities in this regard.

> Again I implore you to look to Europe/Asia, where there are plenty of non-network cards that work just fine for essentially free domestic payments (and would you like to guess how those transactions are settled?

That's not really the point.

My point is that these aggregated payments entities are the infrastructure of the modern economy. Giving a few private entity gatekeepers the ability to extrajudicially decide what is and is not permitted in the modern economy - without appeal or recourse - is undemocratic, and it's wrong.

While different options exist in different places, one should not be forced to seek them out to participate in the lawful economy. It's simply too important.

I am advocating for a modern, digital equivalent of '[valid] for all debts public and private.' We have granted these aggregate systems a de facto duopoly on commerce in the United States. They are quickly becoming or already are essential and so it's time we treat them from a legal and regulatory perspective more like what they are.

How long would Amazon last if they were cut off? Why do we give two private entities the ability to decide if Amazon can continue to exist?

> devs either properly package their apps, or don't release them at all.

There's still no widely accepted answer for what 'properly package their apps' looks like. You could want snaps or appimages or a flatpak, or rpms or debs or docker containers or nix flakes or cargo crates or python virtual environments or jars or javawebstarts or portable windows executables or windows msis or webasm packages or web pages ... there's an impossible profusion that it's currently unreasonable to expect devs (many of whom are working for free) to support more than a couple of.

If there were a single solution that worked in almost all cases and platforms, didn't put unreasonable constraints on packagers and was widely adopted, then it might be somewhat reasonable to expect devs to support it, but that's far from the world we live in. The closest to that (despite its real problems) is probably piping a curl to a bash script...

As someone who is actively trying new search engines, I believe ChatGPT could be a better search engine for some generic queries.

I however then adapted this idea to visualize products and that project is still alive:

I've been victim to two home burglaries when my wife and I were starting out and living in Prince George's county, Maryland. At the time I was working at DIA as a measly GS-9, which means that I was basically 2 or 3 paychecks away from being completely broke.

The few possesions we had were taken. The most unfortunate was my wife's grandmather's wedding band. It probably wouldn't have fetched more than 20 or 30 bucks, but given that it was a family heirloom from WWII-wrought Finland, the sentimental value was high.

Being white and working for the government in a predominantly minority area, I'm sure I was stereotyped as being able to handle some abuse (in fact my neighboor informed me so). Fortunately we didn't own anything of serious financial value, but having your personal space violated by petty theives is not a pleasant experience.
Not to the extreme, but what I don't like is when you see people spending thousands on hardware and all they do is watch youtube, or rich folks who can't cook with the most expensive handcrafted set of knives or buying their kid that plays once a month a great guitar.

On the other hand I'm not super frugal to the point where I'm on a eight year old phone to never waste a cpu cycle or something.
When I was a coder in my 20s, one of my co-workers came back from some conference with a glossy flyer for a new game company startup. It had a lineup of people in various costumes: cowboy, astronaut, soldier. It said something like, "We're looking for superstar developers to create the next level in gaming. If that's you, come join us."

I sure wish I had paid more attention to that flyer for the fledgling Electronic Arts :-)

But is it really that much worse than `pip install` random stuff? Or Homebrew, or Linux package managers - it's not like these things get audited.
