The sky is blue and Ticketmaster is a monopoly and crime syndicate.

There are 2 overall approaches: law enforcement by making resale illegal or doubling-down on capitalism by auction sales rather than enabling arbitrage.

Either way, ticket marketplace(s) must do more to assure limits of tickets and verifying the uniqueness of individuals through technological and physical delivery controls. Since this is a widespread consumer rights issue, it could be grounds for hauling TM before a Senate subcommittee inquiry.

Funny this is mentioned and maybe there's some truth to it. One thing that struck me about the culture from an extended trip to Mexico City a few years ago is how often people say "hasta luego"/"see you later" for transactions - even if they're total strangers. I found it very warming and a contrast to where I'm from. It makes sense as a farewell but think people take it more literally - to the point where people have responded "uh not really" to my own "see you later".

One of the funniest lines of Dumb and Dumber to me is "well big gulps eh, see you later!" [1]

Interesting - you don't seem to have researched your own opinion. A cursory search of Youtube for rebuttal videos shows plenty of people that provide evidence and sources to show how wrong she is in her "out of her lane" videos.

She's no better than any YouTuber looking for clicks and monetization.

This is not how concerts work, and artists and producers don't get any money from Ticketmaster fees. In most cases, a promoter pays an artist a flat fee to perform. The promoter then markets the show and gets the ticket sales, and Ticketmaster gets Ticketmaster fees.

Unfortunately Ticketmaster is owned by LiveNation, and they are far and away the biggest promoter. They sign exclusive rights with large venues. My local 25,000 seat amphitheater has a deal with LiveNation. I can only get tickets to shows there through Ticketmaster.

Artists hate Ticketmaster too (some have sued them) but if you want to do an arena tour, good luck avoiding them. Artists use them because they don't have a choice. The number of large venues that don't use TM is growing, my local basketball arena uses SeatGeek.

The one concession TM makes is to their fan clubs. Artists get to sell tickets directly to a limited number of fans. If you love an artist, joining their fan club will probably save you the annual fee back in one show.

How you solve this problem depends on why you want to solve it in the first place. Is this a business partner, a colleague or a friend?

What makes you certain that the technical decisions are bad? Any examples? There might also be economic, marketing or product fit reasons which are less obvious, depending on what information you have.

Regardless of how you slice it... an extended family household has multiple adults. That means the US leads the world in children being raised with only one adult around.

EDIT: Also, to be clear, an extended family household means that mom and dad could still be around, so it says nothing of a household with only either mom or dad (most likely mom, according to the article).
I've found a few audiobooks on Audible with narration so bad (mostly failure to properly parse sentences, putting emphasis in the wrong place) that an AI version made by random people on YouTube is superior.
Agreed, it's an impressive accomplishment, especially on the very limited budget they had to work with.
AMD by the end of the 2000s was beaten and broke. And by 2009 AMD was so down in the dumbs that they settled the lawsuit with Intel on arguably not favorable terms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Micro_Devices,_Inc._v....

We have to remember that Intel went all in on Itanium and it was AMD who made 64bit happen. They absolutely kicked Intels ass on performance and price for quite a while but were not able to leverage that.

So yes, the future would have been quite different.
About 160% stronger.

The 5g one was wrong on many levels and very definitely pseudoscience. I also disagree that there is no evidence that microwave heating is safe. There is in fact no real evidence that it isn't safe (and largely no physics mechanism that would suggest otherwise).
I am blaming them for selling products that are inadequate for the threat environment they are expected to operate in and lying and/or insinuating that they are adequate for that threat environment, especially when they know for certain that they are not and certify as such. If the customers truly want those products and features, security be damned, like you say then they will do that even if the companies are completely truthful. The companies do not because they know that it will hurt their margins or make their products non-viable.

In addition, the lies suck all of the air out of the room for actual secure products because why go through the extremely hard work of actually making something secure when you can just lie about it. This has happened time and time again. There were multiple TCSEC Level A1 certified implementations when the DoD demanded real security. But, as soon as they lowered requirements to allow consumer systems that were inadequate for the threat environment, all of the effort and funding behind actual secure systems dried up. What we are left with now is a total wasteland of insecure products controlling systems too big for their britches and endless attacks getting closer and closer to total societal disruption. The only saving grace is that it is taking time for the attackers to scale to exploit this entire greenfield opportunity.

As to your other points, the SKPP explicitly included a penetration test done by a NSA team of the formally verified product under certification [1]: "AVA_VLA_EXP.4.3E The NSA evaluator shall perform independent penetration testing.". So, actually, "EAL6" and "penetration testing" do belong in the same sentence.

If Apple did want to ship a EAL5 product, the very first product decision would be starting over. HTML support or not does not even figure into the list; they have to tackle much more basic defects before getting to that. And I do not see how HTML and rich media support is even a challenge unless you made your security properties depend on exact rendering. You just use a separation kernel architecture to isolate the untrusted HTML renderer into a ephemeral sandbox that takes a HTML file and outputs an image. You might then say, "Apple already sandboxes the renderer.". Yeah, but their sandbox sucks and is regularly defeated. Almost as if having formally verified separation kernels as an underpinning might allow the obvious solution to work; assuming the same minds that built on sand do not add in more harebrained ideas. Hard to put it past them when they made so many other terrible security decisions.

Also, you did not answer what EAL5 or higher products you worked on that informed your disgust with the high assurance Common Criteria process.

There is a plant which mimics leaves of nearby plants. Try asking GPT-4 which plant it is and it will always give you wrong answers. But if you do give it the name of that plant and ask what it is known for, it will tell you that it can mimic leaves of other plants.

Well they don't have to be happy about it, heck I think it's more than fair they protest when technology impacts their livelihoods. There's even some valid concerns about the way some of these models are trained or exploited.

But this instance is a terrible fight to pick. You'll be pitting a fight against a non-profit, accessibility software, a public domain library, on the basis that a computer is doing too good a job reading a book out loud.

This is a nonstarter from an insurance perspective. (Ask me how I know.)

For similar pricing, they could deploy renewables and MES or PHS without the risks associated with future radioactive waste transportation and storage and potential for meltdowns. Renewables already meet over 1/3 of world energy needs. It's rapidly becoming a waste of money and a political hot-button to invest in "bridge" energy sources when long-term solutions are viable here and now. It's good news that economic and ethical interests are rapidly aligning.
I don't know about the orange juice guy, but I can tell you personally that I smoked salvia a decade ago and turned into a shopping mall / department store.

I lost my internal monologue, and found my universe replaced with an infinite, bright wide void. I slowly made out vaguely shadowy humanoid forms, and massive, infinitely tall monolithic structures arranged in rows.

As I studied them I realized it was people walking through aisles. I heard some vague noise slowly rising in volume but couldn't understand it. As I looked through these "aisles", I noticed aisle signs hanging above them. The words on these signs turned out to be sets of words which fractally related to some "essence" of a thought I was having.

For each parallel thought I was experiencing, I could see an aisle containing these semantic markers which broke the thoughts down into individual words representing some aspect of the thought. This went on as far as I could see. There was again no accompanying inner monologue like there normally would be, these thoughts were felt and understood silently through these semantic markers, experienced as I read them.

The noise became loud enough and I realized it was a woman over a PA system describing my thoughts. My inner monologue had dissolved and re-emerged as a disembodied voice which told me what I was thinking and seeing and feeling at the moment I felt it, or even before. Every thought I had was not my own, but instead I found myself a passive observer to a physical space representing my mind. Complete ego death.

It was quite meta, as I listened to her first describe my experience of being confused and then slowly understanding what I was seeing. At a point of inflection, she began describing the experience of me listening to her describe me listening to her, and how it made me feel. It's hard to describe what this felt like.

This lasted for what seemed like a very, very long time. The experience was enough for me to never touch the stuff again. The memory is viscerally burned into my head and will never leave.
I can't see why single parent has a bridge to extended family. Single Parenthood is about parents splitting, extended family is about mutually supporting generations.

Anecdotally, I know quite a few extended family situations, but only one single parent. Non-US context.

I was trying to count the beats, and it wasn't going well. That explains why.
> My personal and unproven theory is that most school staff are bullies/cowards themselves

There’s some wisdom here. What I’ve heard before is that teachers enjoy the feeling of school popularity and the power that comes from it. Perhaps the fact that teachers in Japan also engage in bullying validates this theory.
Land supply in desirable locations cannot be increased; you can zone for increased density in those locations, but developers are not incentivised to release new supply as quickly as possible (as that would reduce prices). See for example https://www.fresheconomicthinking.com/p/a-housing-supply-abs... and other articles on that blog which explain this phenomenon.

The property market has too many inherent and imposed monopoly conditions that prevent it from acting as a hypothetical free market where supply and demand are the only factors that influence price.

Actors not motivated by profit can increase supply faster than the private sector's preferred absorption rate (e.g. mass state housing projects like in Singapore and Vienna), in which case sure, if the government massively increases supply consistently above demand and only rents or sells in a manner preventing monopoly acquisition then prices (rents or purchases prices) can be pushed down. There are other alternatives (e.g. Georgist style land taxes combined with liberal zoning laws, so efficient use of desirable locations is encouraged and enabled).

This seems really useful for stuff like AMD SEV-SNP, where we want a measurement of the (kernel + initrd + arguments) to guarantee certain behavior from the machine. Ideally, we could use this as the container hypervisor, and have it produce attestations that bind to the hashes of the running containers. This relies on not having container escapes; not sure what the state of the art on that is right now.
I randomly said "Hi" and chatted very briefly about my kid and the apartment to a random young woman in the elevator. On the way out she literally did a little hop and a skip and in a chirpy tone she said "Yay! Interaction!"

I realised that after the COVID lockdowns people were so starved for contact with other people that any interaction would make their day. You don't need a pandemic for that, you can always make peoples' day just a bit better by saying hello.

I guess that ends Pro or Enterprise users publishing web games or interactive content. It's also going to hurt GamePass publishers.

Go work retail somewhere that doesn't try to hard-sell people.

Most places will start by giving you some training materials on how to initiate friendly, non-threatening interactions with the customers. These are basically to burn some non-business cycles with the customer to prove that you're not trying to hard-sell them by using aggressive and manipulative techniques on them[1].

There are a lot of open-ended, safe topics you'll use for this. But once you get comfortable with the technique, you'll realize that you could use almost any question. Even rather specific ones like, "What's your favorite sandwich" can start a perfectly fine conversation with someone. Most people like new, unpredictable utterances and as long as you present it as non-threatening it can lead to a fruitful conversation.

Along with this you'll learn to time your speech to provide plenty of spaces where your interlocutor can cut away if they so wish. E.g., if you've told 3 pithy little stories which were each less than 15 seconds, they will feel at ease staying for one more before they go away. If on the other hand they aren't able to predict whether your next story is going to be a fun 10 seconds or an excruciatingly dull 5 minute rabbit hole, things are going to get awkward real quick.

Finally, if you don't listen you won't sell shit so you will have a nice daily scorecard on your progress.

1: It's amazing how well this works. Hard-selling commissions must be so razor thin that the salespeople can't even spend 30 seconds to build normal rapport with another human being. I've literally never had the experience of an employee starting out as a human being and then pivoting to aggressive/manipulative tactics. But maybe all the salespeople who excel at that are employed by big pharma and since I'm not a doctor I don't have contact with them.

Rebates are usually legal in the US, but go to the distributor or the final buyer. I used to sell huge amounts of computer hardware at a small loss, and a month later would be making 15-20% profit once rebates were paid to my company.

Bribes are paid by (or directed to be paid to someone else by) the person who is buying (or a sales representative selling) and their employer never sees the money. That's why direct incentives to salespeople (spiffs) should be authorized in writing, by the employer. An example of a bribe would be a purchasing agent requiring me to donate 5% of the deal value to their church to get a deal.
I don't laugh at the technology itself -- today those photos look ridiculous but I believe people could find them realistic back then.

The dumb thing is believing fairies exist at all. If I see "convincing" evidence of fairies, with today's technology, I would still remain skeptical. It would take a lot more for me to even begin to wonder. Because fairies don't exist, we know where they come from in folklore and literature, and there's so much evidence they don't exist (along with unicorns, the Yeti, gremlins, etc) that a couple of convincing photographs or videos is simply not enough.

Conan Doyle wouldn't have been fooled had he been a skeptical, inquiring mind. Alas! He was just gullible.

Famously, Conan Doyle had Sherlock claim:

> When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.

Unfortunately Doyle, because he so wanted to believe, didn't really eliminate the impossible. He carelessly dismissed the most obvious option: that the two girls were playing him for a fool.
No. LiveNation is mostly in the business of signing deals with large venues to be the exclusive promoter of shows, and Ticketmaster thus is their exclusive ticket seller. Ticketmaster also sign deals with other promoters to be their exclusive ticket outlet, so even in instances where LiveNation isn't the promoter, you may have to deal with TM.
Dell as well.

In fact in 2007 Dell would have made a loss if it weren't for the Intel kickbacks.
I can think of plenty of decent reasons that might be true? For instance perhaps over time a fully remote company, unless it employs mostly a certain type of very driven self motivated person, slows down and loses any semblance of a culture the longer it works remotely? That was certainly my experience.

Or perhaps all the managers, typically fairly extroverted people, get more depressed over time the longer their daily social interactions are just on video calls.

Or perhaps over time it's found that new hires do worse and worse without an office to bond with others in and a culture to absorb.

Etc. No shortage of plausible reasons.

Perhaps these companies were remote for a while because a lot of people were loud and annoying about it, and now a lot of them are quietly backpedaling to avoid offending the people who love it while reclaiming the benefits of an office?

Perhaps! I don't know. You'd have to ask them. One thing is for sure: there are a lot of plausible reasons besides 'evil'.

Why use a calendar? Just remember everything you have coming up. Why use a to-do app? Just remember all the things you need to do.

Life gets busy. I want to drop a note to my distant family regularly, but between work and family and friends and hobbies, sometimes out of sight becomes out of mind. I like having a periodic nudge to ping that far-off person. Today I’m using Things for that, with repeating tasks to text so-and-so periodically. Something that integrates that with a record of what we talked about last time (so I can follow up with them) or alert me on special days would be nice.

I do all this because I care about those people and want to make a special effort to keep up with them. If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t be interested.
While certainly a problem, I doubt this is the sole cause.

If mortality age is a normal distribution, you would see someone 125+ years old every now and then even just naturally. And you don't.

By contrast, standard deviation for height is somewher between 2 and 3 inches. If 70 inches is roughly median, 5 standard deviations is not unheard of. That's roughly 85 inches. 7' 2" is not exactly rare in the NBA and there are players a notch even above that--7' 5" is getting pretty rare.

Standard deviation for mortality distribution is about 8 years. If median is 75 years old, 115 shouldn't be that unusual and 123 should pop up occasionally. Yet, 115 is a staggeringly rare age to live to, and 123 is simply unheard of.
People just don't care about their vehicles, that's why. There are multiple examples of even diesels starting at -25°C without heating. All my cars have been gas and while starting them at -30°C required some magical actions (like turning on headlights briefly to warm the battery up or depressing the clutch if you have a manual transmission) they all started most of the time. No extra tools or devices were necessary.
