Career-related reasons are not cynical; they're perfectly legitimate, and that person's prerogative.

I mean there are situations in in which prioritizing your career objective over something else may be immoral. Like say if you choose a path whereby you get a promotion but large numbers of people suffer. But if you're making something free you don't owe anybody anything. If people don't like it that you're using Discord or whatever else, too bad.
There are so many cases in which a regulated market shows lower costs, that not seeing it is just not wanting to see because it touches your core belief system instead of using reasoning. Regulation is needed to ensure property rights, contracts law, ward of monopolies, ward of externalisation of costs by companies unto the general population or the environment, to stop lies from being told as much as possible, to destroy rent-seeking behaviors.
These are all legitimate reasons for government regulations and make the market better.
There is of course a time and place for regulations. There IS such a thing as too much regulations.
Wouldn't this account for well under 10% of potential ticket buyers, though?

Sure, if you're in a relatively new relationship, planning anything at all 6 months out is a gamble. That's just life.

At any rate, you'd still have the option of returning your ex's ticket, and buying a new one in your new partner's name.

Or you can return both tickets, and buy a new pair that are guaranteed to be seated next to each other. Sure, presumably you didn't get full price on the ticket return, but, again, that's life.

The funny thing is that, while on occasion this situation might come up, and someone will end up paying a little more to see the show, overall they (and everyone else) will pay less to see shows in general, since scalping has been (in theory) eliminated. So for most people who see a show every now and then, they'd still come out ahead under this system.
Thanks for the explanation, that makes a lot more sense actually.

I love this terminal but it had a lot of flickering issues when I would run it on sway with nvidia drivers. Ended up just going back to xorg, I use kitty there.
Honestly… I don’t mind discord. I’ve seen their “forums” feature actually work pretty well, and the roles system is just customizable enough to be useful, with about being annoying to configure.

Yeah, there’s obvious problems with it being a closed community, gated by Discord the company. I do wish content was exposed to the wider internet, like how forums (phpBB etc) work.

But I get it, if your passion is a FOSS project, you want to think as little about the “other stuff” that only takes away precious free hours you’d rather put into your FOSS project. Discord handles most of that for free/close to free/with donations collected for you from your “server” members.

There’s a space for a FOSS project to fill, and matrix is SO close. It needs a push, but I think the dominoes could totally fall in its favour given some critical mass of projects using it.
Instead of getting into the weeds, let's rewind a bit. Do you believe the Roman Republic was ever in possession of something _we_ should recognise as an empire? You seemed to imply that you don't, so I'm interested in where our definition might fall short (and how would _you_ translate Polybius?) And then beyond that, what do you think is most interesting about how the Romans (or their subjects or enemies) perceived their many conquests and the vast territories that they acquired? What's the difference between their conception and ours? Genuine questions, hoping to learn!
2023 September equinox: All you need to know
From a cynical marketing standpoint, the perceived composition of the audience is part of the product. The same is true, oddly enough, for universities. Whom you're sitting next to matters, or whom others think you're sitting next to.
> It has been long known among industry figures that artists regularly move tickets through backdoor channels to directly profit from resale marketplaces while shunting blame to “scalpers” when fans are unable to get tickets at face value. Ed Sheeran’s management admitted the practice itself just last year, while rumors have swirled about other big names doing the same via their own held-back tickets that fans never have a shot at. The same regularly happens with professional sports teams.

> Barry Kahn, of Texas-based dynamic ticket pricing consultancy Qcue, doesn’t believe artists should be judged for using tactics including scalping their own tickets (or it’s newer twin, “Platinum” and dynamic pricing to demand). “The issue is the transparency,” he told Billboard. “If they get caught doing something they have said is wrong, then they are deceiving their fans.”

> In this specific instance, Billboard says that Metallica’s management moved up to 4,400 tickets per show over 20 concerts on the tour through intermediaries, masking the process by packaging the tickets as if they were held back for a sponsor.

Take it worth a grain of salt, I have no idea how true it is but it's at least a plausible explanation as to why artists may not want scalpers eliminated.
> It's not clear to me what the point is

The point of the video was to give a basic explanation of completely uncontroversial concepts covered in an economics 101 class.

Econ 101 is taught to people, and not "non capitalist systems that doesn't have money 101" because the experts have studied the topic extensively and the conclusions in her video are uncontroversial.

Of course she is going to listen to the experts on how economics works.

Wait, what? I read through that entire discussion. I do agree that the quote you pulled out was not ideal, but that's the only thing in there that's even remotely abrasive. Skyline in particular took great pains to provide context of why the performance issue was the way it was.

Where's the flak, exactly? (FYI, no "c" in "flak")
That's a great use case for small modular reactors, especially once they're actually serialized and being delivered on time/on budget. I'm glad MS is interested in helping move the needle in that direction. The first few of any model will be slightly ugly.
They started out as plain scalper marketplaces but now have deals with most venues to give the venue a cut.
I tried to read this with an open mind to learn something that may help me on a similar journey. However, I found it challenging to get any new nuggets of advice or wisdom. Maybe the "#buildinpublic" movement and interacting with that community? Otherwise it just seems like he found his groove, but it's not really transferable.

The article talks about how scalpers circumvent no ticket resale - sell the entire account containing the tickets.
If this was NFTs, what would the winning strategy have been? Strike when the iron is hot and hype is at the maximum and hope to get some exits or subsequent rounds asap, or draw it out. From a portfolio perspective, it's just one batch, might as well go all in and maximally capitalize on hype, no?
Hey, cool site, but it's down now :(
The last Nine Inch Nails concert I went to was like this. Fans on the email list got advance sales for the event, and you could buy up to two tickets, and had to have your ID match the tickets. It was great, I was able to watch right from the front of the pit, I didn't have to fight through any weird browser nonsense, and I paid exactly the price of the ticket, no more, no less.
This thread keeps trying to escape down little rabbitholes of abstraction. I'll be clear: if Apple wanted to ship an EAL5 product, the very first product decision they would need to make in service of that would be to stop rendering HTML. No browsers. No rich media. No installable apps that could do any kind of IPC.

This is what we mean when we say an EAL5+ product is a different kind of thing. It's why this whole CCTL EAL thing is such a farce. The methods you're blaming big tech companies for not using are all things that preclude most of the products users want to use.

Can we stop pretending that any vendor in the industry has the option of serving customers with formally verified "EAL6" products? They don't. This isn't a thing, and hearing "EAL6" and "penetration testing" mentioned in the same sentence is grating. You don't penetration test a formally verified product. You do verification and assurance work for it, but nobody in the field would ever call it pentesting.
Intel is being eaten alive by its competitors, including AMD. Seems overly punitive and detached from reality.

Presumably OP is saying the name on the actual ticket never changes.

That is, even if you sell the account, the ticket is tied to the person.
Could Ticketmaster have any incentive to permit scalpers?

(Besides the potential for personnel to be bribed individually. I'm wondering about whether there's hypothetically an angle for the company to permit scalpers. Maybe to be involved in scalping, as a kind of double dipping.)
holy shit. How does this work? Do you just have a big list?

Bad financials? Maybe they should stop making multi-billion dollar acquisitions, then.
Does it support SSG yet? This was a deal breaker for me when I assessed it a year ago.
This is the only true solution. There’s a few things to work out legally - but they are all solvable. Perhaps there should be a seat transfer portal that opens 24-48 hours before (or at some specified time) for those true extenuating circumstances so family members or friends could get access to tickets. Otherwise, first principles says end transferability to end the secondary market.
Intelligence is both directions. It only correlates with un-intelligence. Eg the poor individual has a brain injury or does not.
I 100% agree with this. I wanted to like Matrix, and I ran synapse for a while, but the operational aspects of it are an order of magnitude more complex than XMPP.

Perhaps the problem they're trying to solve warrants that complexity, but my particular use case doesn't. I just run XMPP now.

While the placement of various political parties differs based on the nations involved, the "left" versus "right" political scale itself is uniform in all cases.

Collectivism (which implies more/larger government, e.g., socialism, fascism, and communism) increases toward the "left", while individualism (which implies less/smaller/no government, e.g., libertarianism and anarchism) increases toward the "right".

The "center" is a mix of the two, to varying degrees.

As mentioned earlier, almost all of the major Canadian federal parties fully support large and intrusive government, extensive socialism, high taxation, forced medical treatments, and so on. Some, like the NDP and Liberals, are also rather pro-union. This puts them to the "left".

The PPC are the only exception, with a platform that proposes a more balanced mix, putting them much closer to the "center". They support more individualism, but are still rather support of large government, too.

There are no major federal parties in Canada to the "right" of that. None offer a platform that would end immigration, deport most foreigners, significantly reduce the size of the federal government, and end taxation, for example.

I think if there were truly a "right" wing party in Canada, it'd be clear to you how different it would be than the existing parties, and it would instantly clear up your confusion.

> Rather, Hossenfelder feels like she just doesn't know what her biases are in the first place, at least when discussing something like economics

She is biased in favor of what the experts say on a topic.

Her video was a bog standard explanation of topics that are covered in econ 101. They were completely uncontroversial.

Yes, the profession of economics, which are the experts on the topic, are all strongly biased in favor of the scientific opinion which is that economics is real and that capitalism is good.
What would you do in a totally overcrowded train or bus then?
Oh hey that's a good idea! Probably calculating the lightness, hue and chroma for the source CMYK color is going to be faster than searching for it in the DB. Also I'm using the DB because it provides mappings for all the CMYK colors. If I just work with CIECAM02, and run the math in reverse to get a CMYK color, there's no guarantee that the numbers that come out will actually be valid CMYK values: they might be greater than 100 or less than 0 and either case is not a valid CMYK value. This happens because CIECAM02 tries to model all the colors that exist in the visible spectrum and CMYK only represents all the colors which can be made by mixing cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks and thus there are fewer colors in CMYK than CIECAM02. Still I might be able to try "looking around" in the case that the computer calculates invalid CMYK and that might be faster than using the DB.
The middle classes in Australia have a lot of expendable income and not much to do with it. So "safe" investment properties have become very popular. This has resulted in a lot of peoples investments being tied up in real estate. This makes any serious reform politically impossible for the foreseeable future. and people who don't have investment investment properties don't want the value of their home to decrease.

The current Labor government lost a previous election in part due to proposed changes regarding the taxation of investment properties. It dumped[0] those policies and won the last election.

As it should be, without restrictions. Basically First Sale doctrine. If I buy something, I own it and should be able to sell it at market price.
Simple fix for that: require the concertgoer to physically present the ID when arriving at the concert.

They can also just disallow multiple tickets per ID.

To clarify the proposed process: you buy one or more tickets online, and you're required to put full names to those tickets when you purchase them. You are not permitted to change those names later. You can return the tickets (minus some "restocking" fee), but that's all you're allowed to do; no transfers.

When the time comes to attend the concert, everyone brings their ID, and the ticket checker matches the names on the IDs with the names on the tickets. No match, no entry.

There is certainly one hole: tickets are still scarce, so someone could set up a website where they claim they'll guarantee you a ticket (because they have fast internet connections and legions of low-paid grunts clicking furiously at the website), and then charge a large premium on top of the ticket price in order to do so. You either give them your Ticketmaster (or whatever) account credentials, or they even "give" you an account after buying the ticket for you, all with your name on it. I do think this would inflate some ticket prices, but I feel like the situation would still be much better than it is now.

On top of that, the ticket seller can just ban these sorts of websites. Again, not perfect, as they'll do everything they can to circumvent the ban, but you can probably make things difficult enough for them that their value prop doesn't really work out all that well, and they fail to get tickets often enough that they end up with a bad reputation.

Really, ticket scalping should just be illegal, and law enforcement should crack down hard on these kinds of outfits.
Im using a paid API so i don't want bots triggering jobs, that's why you have to login, sorry about that
Responses like this are so shitty, and you should feel bad for making it. A lot of people do risky or silly things when they're teenagers - very few of them pay the price with their lives. I don't eat slugs either, but "dying a horribly painful death due to a worm in my brain" wouldn't be high up on the things I would have been concerned about (until I read about that story, that is).

But congrats on showing the world what a superiorly smart guy you are.

The core problem is reality. Scarcity is reality. Free market economics, supply and demand is reality.

You can try to ignore the equilibrium price point, just as you might ignore gravity, but reality will assert itself. Scalpers will always exist to rebalance the supply and demand equality.

A useful utility that a friend wrote is https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver
- it's basically a nicer version of:

python -m http.server 8000

Download prebuilt binaries for Linux, Windows, Mac OS from https://github.com/akovacs/uploadserver/releases/
or install from source if you prefer [1]

Start the file server, and then navigate to it using the web browser of your choice on any device (no need for a client application).

chmod +x upload_server
./upload_server

Navigate to the server's ip address port 8000 in the browser of your choice and upload files using the web UI or directly via curl:

curl -X POST --data-binary @file_to_upload.txt http://192.168.1.X:8000/uploaded_file.txt

Then download the file to another machine or mobile device either from your web browser or via a commandline tool:

curl http://192.168.1.X:8000/uploads/uploaded_file.txt --output downloaded_file.txt
