> The enjoyment of attendees can be partly dependent on the enthusiasm of other attendees. Consider the extremes: an audience entirely comprised of people who hardly know the artist, but can afford it Vs an audience comprised of only die-hard fans, irrespective of their ability to afford a ticket. The first has a flat atmosphere, the second, a special one.

Higher ticket prices would lead to more diehard fans

> A simple desire by the artist to make their show available to a cross-section of society

But if scalping is a problem then making tickets cheap doesn’t accomplish this.

In total, this seems to point towards raising initial prices with negative consequence.
The obvious solution for toasters is a built in smoke detector that turns the toaster off at the first sign of smoke. I'm surprised no one make them.

My last workplace banned toasters from the office kitchens because they would set off the smoke alarms and the fire brigade would be called.

This is the sad truth about the industry. The EE/CE department at my university was world renowned. Groundbreaking research being done. Professors who defined industry trends. Everyone I knew in the program was a genius and truly wanted to move the world forward.

Did you not hear the super bowl team chants played on the speakers? Atmosphere of a snooze fest. That show is way too far in the exclusivity direction to allow any fun at all.
At least in Australia where I live, the problem isn't really the number of houses (despite the Murdochian headlines harping otherwise.) We have ungodly numbers of vacant dwellings. New houses aren't the solution, new incentives are. This is where the pushing down of prices is important. If companies don't want to build new places, fine, let them rot. In the mean time the multinationals and leveraged-to-the-teeth speculators will be forced to make those empty homes available to the market.

I don't watch any video content with ads. Every time I try Hulu again, I quickly get so fed up that I quit whatever that show is before that episode is over. Or movie, or whatever.

I'm happy to pay a premium price for not having ads on Prime, or AppleTV, or Disney+, YouTube, etc.... And if there's stuff out there that is not available ad-free, then I just don't watch it.

I also run my browsers with all ad-blocking features and add-ons turned up as high as possible.

And I don't wear branded clothing. At least, not obviously branded clothing -- there might be small tags or logos discreetly displayed, but nothing that is readable by anyone who isn't standing close enough to me to shake my hand.

When the article moves from the the editorialized introduction to their stated goals, it doesn't sound as bad.

Decentralize and reform the Indian economy, end the socialist, centrally-planned, state-owned economic model.

That's western Libertarianism in a nutshell.

The scalpers are often affiliated with the artists, directly or indirectly. Katy Perry's contract was leaked in 2011 and she had reserved the right to sell tickets through "Resellers" [0]. And as the grandparent notes, many of the scalpers sell their tickets on Ticketmaster, which in turn has a contract with the artists.

The artists would get more in the short term, but all this outrage that's currently directed at scalpers and Ticketmaster wouldn't just go away—a lot of it would still exist but be directed at the artists themselves.

That's probably the reality of the situation. The number of people using the basic HTML mode might be vanishingly small, even if the user base is very vocal. Also when you have as many users as gmail, even 0.01 percent is going to be millions of users.

There may be a business case for someone to make a gmail client, or a competitor for those relying on the basic HTML mode. What is a rounding error for Google could be a pretty compelling business for a much smaller company.

I'm sad that Hyperkitty, which is in all other respects a good piece of mailing list archive software, lacks a threading view. Now that most FOSS mailing lists have started using it, I've lost one of the main productivity benefits of them compared to linear discussions like chatrooms.

If it's important for me to follow a discussion in detail, I will try to download the emails to open with Mutt, which can be easily configured to use a threaded view.
Marketing is easy when you know your audience is spending all their time on platforms like HN and Twitter, and they have itchy clicker-fingers for new shiny software that they think will help them optimize their life. Then it's just making the simplest possible software that works reliably (market it as "UNIX philosophy", either explicitly or implicitly), stick to the modern landing page + checkout flow aesthetic, and the marks are on familiar ground and will happily play your game to give you $4/mo til they redo their budgets. Mutiply this by ~1000, keep the subscription low enough that they get bored before hyperoptimizing their budget to that level, and you've got a steady stream of income.
Alternatively, you have gotten used to Google providing you free services out of the goodness of their heart.

This model was sustainable when the internet was adding millions of users per year, but as internet access reaches saturation - Google must do something.

I'd prefer if it was "pay for your email" - but internet users have been openly hostile to paying for anything for 39 years
I had the same issue in Numbers. I use the Numbers app daily, 365 days a year;

- at some point i saw the sheet (which has a date/time column with the current time, for each row i added) reverting back to a previous version (multiple added rows being deleted / disappearing.)
I ended up just removing the file from iCloud and using it locally only.

- You also see the same issue in the Shortcuts app, it then at least shows you the 2 conflicting versions with timestamps and asks which one you would like to keep.

1) Mindfulness is a few millenia older than capitalism.

2) CBT is also anything but status quo. I think the thing that the above comments mentions is just window dressing for trying to go back to older approaches... it's hilarious how much the workbooks emphasize that no-no, your feelings are not invalid! No, no! Validate your feelings! Soothe yourself! They are totally valid! They just may be "inappropriate for the situation". Or, "unjustified". Or, "not productive". Now that we've got that out of the way and you still believe you are being coddled and totally valid, let's get to making a plan to fix the problem, or at least immersing your face in cold water or doing the opposite action to actually fix things.

3) In any case, shortcomings of capitalism as opposed to what?

I think this comment is literally 180, it's one of the wrongest takes I've seen in my entire life. As an immigrant from ex-socialist country, I'd bet the problem with mental health in advanced economies has a lot in common, metaphorically, with the problem of allergies in advanced economies, where the immune system has nothing to do and starts messing up. Capitalism have spoiled you all so much you have become too soft. Instead of validating the feelings and acknowledging emotions, anywhere between 50 to 90% of the people could benefit from some hardening the f- up :)

Such as, by suppressing negative emotions.

CSIS agent was a co-conspirator of bombing Air India flight, that's why CSIS destroyed tapes under the guise that RCMP wouldn't protect anonymous informants. Of course, Canada can preach about "rule of law", "freedom of speech". The people who lost lives on that flight were brown people, that's why their lives are less worthy. Almost 300 times less worthy, according to the Canadian govt in the name of 'we f*cked it up'.

Another instance: the chief culprit Parmar behind that bomb blast was not extradited even before that blast. You know why? Trudeau's dad's reason: India was not deferential to the Queen.

I probably fall into this bucket but I’ve seen disabling it fix very odd issue entirely too many times to write this off as just “sad”.

Learning a new framework doesn’t (often) break things for the end user in a way I can’t diagnose/reproduce. IPv6? Totally different ball of wax.

Also my ISP, a fiber gigabit provider and the best available in my region, doesn’t support IPv6. Until they, and others like them, get on board fully I don’t see customers having a snowball’s chance in hell of working cleaning with IPv6. I can only imagine how long it will take the shitty ISPs to fully support it.
This sounds like an excellent issue/feature request to file…

> Or that time when Python disallowed string to int conversion of long strings because it is a DoS vulnerability.

You're right that applications should have range checking of course, but the default limit is 4,300 digits, which seems enough for all but the most specialized applications; this number is huge. It makes sense to have a reasonable limit so your server isn't using all the memory and CPU time by accident. It's the same as max recursion limits and the like.

Personally I don't think any DoS is a "security problem" though. It can be a problem, just as many bugs are, but "site is unavailable for a bit" or "my desktop application crashed" is just not on the order as "I lost all my money". Last month my bank's website was unavailable for a week, and it was annoying but basically fine with no real serious consequences.

Not directly, because that would look bad and would miss the point.

The thing is, they don't need to get additional money from the resale directly. If resale makes their events more profitable, their contracts with the venues and Ticketmaster will be more favorable.
"Policymakers are not even willing to cut interest rates much. On August 21st they disappointed investors with an underwhelming cut of 0.1 percentage points in the one-year lending rate."

The excerpt bothers me. Interventionalist central banking policy is new to the point of experimental, and I am skeptical that a group of humans voting for policy decisions will result in long term stability. I think in time we will find that decisions that seemed good at the time resulted in unforeseen long-term problems. I understand the logic, that drastic times call for drastic measures; but I can also see the logic in moving slowly in the face of uncertainty.
I think this situation calls for a compromise in the form of a portmanteau, one which both preserves the link from the old to the new site as well as describing the direction of the change: Xitter ( using the pronunciation of letter X to mean 'sh,' as some languages do)
The article mentions TikTok and has some mention to filters, but falls into the trap of putting the onus on our own decision-making. In reality if you've ever spent more than half an hour on TikTok lately you know that people are starting to realise how little our agency comes into play. In fact we don't "see our own faces" at all in so many cases; even putting aside the natural distortion of a camera, software (especially on social media) distorts this much further. It's truly grim that the person you're used to seeing on your own feed is radically different (and more "perfect" according to some very dubious senses of the word) than the one you see in the mirror. I can only speak for myself in how deleterious this has been on self-esteem, but I imagine I'm not alone.
Ticketmaster is a closed platform, nowhere near a "free market" where such rules apply.
How many water, sewer, garbage, and electrical services do you subscribe to at home?
yeah, cruise ships with bad internet were a great use case for Basic HTML Gmail
Indeed Gmail pioneered HTML-driven interactive web applications to a large extent.

I think you're misremembering this. Web Outlook's needs are what drove the enabling technology, a few years before GMail appeared.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMLHttpRequest#History

GMail had its own early selling points early on, one of them being much more storage than competitors.
I often use basic HTML because it loads 5X faster and there's no stupid progress bar or spinning icon. I want to see e-mail, not a progress bar or splash screen. Splash screens were things of the 90s. Computers should be 100X faster now, and apps and websites should load imperceptibly fast. Basic HTML delivers on that.

I use Gmail because it intergrates with Google Calendar.
The author doesn’t know what perfectionism is. They are using the word in “I like to do things well” meaning, which is basically never the version people are concerned with.

> bulletproof way to bypass spam filtering

Yeah that's definitely not what I meant or what the presenter seems to be implying. If it helps spam scores even a little bit, that's very interesting and potentially worth implementing in private hosts that often get dinged by larger hosts just for not being well-known. It doesn't need to get anywhere near turning actual spam into non-spam.
This is the tenfourfox blog. Tenfourfox is a browser that is still built for old power pc macs. I doubt any modern “lightweight” client is built for those or would even be lightweight enough to run on them.

On the other hand, for those platforms imap should still be available.

Edit: forgot to mention that said power pcs wouldn’t be fast enough to run googles full web ui either.
I had a good laugh at it, it was relatable.

They are right about the DX with wasm, it's simply not there. Those error messages are all too common and there's a lot of vague things going on when you compile it down. The whole ecosystem is quite fragmented and a bit of a mess.

Like another comment mentioned, while other departments are getting shafted on budget, looks like the NYC has a lot of free money in its hands. Maybe NYers should think of this before electing Officer Goofy for Mayor.
They sell user data, so, it's not really free.
I know this is a joke, but I want to reiterate some of the challenges and shortcomings of this.

* Ping time would be roughly 1 hour

* Would require high-power wireless communication link

* Would take over 1 year to ship new hardware to datacenter

* No magnetosphere means increased hardware failure due to radiation.
Except through a decaying orbit.
This one is really good
> even 0.01 percent is going to be millions of users.

This would mean that Gmail have >10 billion users, so obviously not.

> ...all the [Matrix] clients are playing catch up with the messed up rapidly changing api...

This to me is the crux of the issue! The core data model of Matrix is clean, elegant and simple. I can summarise it in a sentence: a series of Events modifies resources in a Room.

The full Matrix API is anything but clean, elegant and simple, however. Sadly, the extent of the API's idiosyncrasies means there is no real alternative to Element, and this is from someone who has on multiple occasions tried a two-digit number of Matrix clients on a a variety of devices. Nonetheless, I will continue to use it while I wait for an ActivityPub-based chat program to be made! :)
Out of those million email clients, probably less than 50 are regularly maintained with good support. And I am probably exaggerating the number 50. Could be single digits.
Maybe, but at least don't do mail in the browser.

I unironically disagree with this, structured data is incredible and powerful.

But an important part of the early internet was "its Just Text".

And in fact, the reason why JSON is so great is that if you want to use it as Just Text it works just the same!

It's a translation layer between systems that really demand highly structured data and flexible systems where as long as you can thunk about it, you can get from anywhere to anywhere else with a few simple programs that are on every machine in tbe known universe.
I tend to frustrate colleagues with this but it's honestly so much more manageable.

A python script is the sane extensible choice rather than some esoteric bash incantation that you have no clue about 6 months after writing it.
