Tickets for events necessarily have a limited supply.
If demand exceeds supply, price goes up.
The box offices keep the face value prices of the tickets lower than what the market will bear.
Therefore, someone will always step in to arbitrate and collect the margin.
Even if Ticketmaster were destroyed, it would not have any impact on scalping.
The only way to stop this from happening is for the face value of high demand tickets to rise greatly.
For example, you could sell tickets with a dutch auction.
This looks interesting, thanks
The formalisms for nondeterminism are over half a century old now. This is fundamentally a solved problem, although the typical case analysis technique many programmers tend to prefer falls down hard. Incidentally that’s why unix signals suck.

influencers a waste of time?

The main purpose of them is to grow but also you can use them to grow your service or your product. Influencer Marketing is a great way you can use them and find the objective audience your product needs and sell it. On the other hand, there are countless influencers whose content has no value whatsoever, try to find those who upload valuable information for you, you will reach them!
I agree to a large extent but I am referring more to our teaching of Computer Science. For our teaching of Software Engineering I think you're largely correct.

> Humans are bad at reasoning about multiple threads simultaneously

I am not so sure this is true, I do believe that people are poorly practiced. My experiences have led me to believe Universities silo explicit parallel programming too much. It's generally it's own non-compulsory subject in a Comp-Sci major.

Even that is a somewhat dubious claim. They even stopped emphasizing that one their website so I suspect they realize that as well.

Wikipedia articles are kinda meant to be a broad view of a subject that is approachable to a general reader with no prior knowledge. You can write an article about Pikachu or Squirtle that is relevant to this type of reader. Can you really write such an article about Dartrix or Groudon?

Granted, this is also a problem with the obscure moth species articles. I think the moth species articles survive because no one really cares enough to start the crusade against them. When we used to have every Pokemon, it was a common line in deletion discussions to say "well if every Pokemon has an article, why can't <my obscure topic> have one too?" -- I think some people eventually got fed up and decided it was worth putting in the work of figuring out what the notability standards should be. What I've learned from a long time of editing on Wikipedia is that often, things are the way they are not because it's the best way, but because the project has a lot of inertia -- it's a lot of work to make a big change happen.

The concept you long for sounds a little bit like Wikidata. It's much less in-depth than Wikipedia, and just describes its subjects as structured data instead of with prose, but the notability bar on Wikidata is much much lower. Every Pokemon, every scientific article, every book, every village, every athlete, etc is generally in scope.

I recently downgraded to 30Mbps because it's the cheapest plan my ISP offers, and still more than I need.

I grew up with dialup and my brain simply automatically makes me do several things in parallel so some can finish loading while I'm working on others. If things load too quickly it throws me off, quite honestly. A large download is for tomorrow, or after dinner at the very least.

On the flipside, I do expect local desktop apps to open instantly, and when Discord or Teams takes 25 seconds to start up and render an interface, I'm profoundly annoyed.

It’s not impossible to not buy from them. It’s quite easy not to. You just choose to do so, because they are the best.

Was working for MarkLogic and got pulled into this a couple days before launch. That sort of thing was the least of their worries. They got the model wrong. With ACA, you were not allowed to do policy pricing on preexisting conditions. Age, sex, smoking, and location. That really only leaves one variable - location - for the actuarial folks to create unique policies. You might suspect how this breaks things. A healthy 18yo female in Tampa could have hundreds of thousands of policies. Live on a superfund site... hey, about those 3 spendy options. Those files could be massive - hundreds of MB. The log files... ye gods... those things grew in GB fast.

The other gotcha was Java is single inheritance. Foo > XML. Bar extends Foo > XML. Baz extends Foo > /dev/null the Bar bits in the persistence layer.

The MarkLogic bits did OK. When everything went sideways at launch, almost no traffic was getting all the way to the back end. Because things were getting profiled, there was way more time to tune and tweak the indexes as they tried to re-engineer things. The NoSQL bits helped there, as it made it a bit easier to morph things as it was refactored.

Not to say there were not pain points or they did not have a silly amount of hardware in it in the end.

One of the more memorable things for me was working in the XOC, having an update go sideways in the early AM, and seeing CNN pop up a ticker saying ACA was down. Good times.
It’s amazing how people worship this supposedly perfect former world of “mom and pop shops”, ignoring the terrible prices and selection. Wal Mart won because consumers liked it better - far better. If we wanted to subsidize tiny stores that were worse on every metric, you are essentially making a museum or charity, at the cost of damaging the entire society via higher prices and worse products.
Then they don't get H1-B workers. If they were that critical and in low supply in the US they could pay more. The lottery that favors consulting companies has made the H1-B program ridiculous hard for great folks and it isn't bringing in the quality talent that we should be inviting to the country.
We experienced programmers who know how to separate things into modules and use it wisely at the correct place.

There are two things going on:

The US government has an annual budget. Normally before a new year starts, there needs to be a new budget. The House of Representatives nominally has the full responsibility of creating the budget, but it's also subject to approval by the senate and president.

IIRC, in 2013 Republicans had control of the house and didn't pass a new annual budget. In the last few weeks of the year they did pass a continuing resolution saying something along the lines of "continue the government funding for 2 months at last year's levels until we pass a more complete new budget, and also repeal the Affordable Care Act". The Senate voted in favor of most of the continuing resolution but not the ACA repeal, which caused deadlock when the HoR and Senate couldn't reconcile the 2 versions of the bill that passed.

I'm sure you've read articles that describe the life a middle-ages king. They lived in dark and uncomfortable castles, ate poor food, had access to few educational materials, etc.

That's a pretty bad selection bias. You shouldn't exclude the perspectives of those who've been harmed by social media. That would be like asking people if alcohol has been a positive influence in their life, but excluding alcoholics.
Alone in the Dark was notable at the time for using Gouraud shading [1]. You can see the effect on some of the polygons here:

And no... I've relinquished the AI term for these little statistical tricks instead of actual intelligence.

No, marketers, you can't have that one, too.

AGI is R2D2, R. Daneel Olivaw, or V'Ger (minus the planetary destruction). It is not the thing that generated an ever-so-slightly off picture of a clown.

> Yet even with all that, it seems no competitor has been able to reasonably get off the ground and poise a viable alternative. What gives?

To the extent that you're complaining about scalping, that's not something ticketmaster does. Scalping is a choice made by whoever originates the tickets. If the facial price is $20 and the market value is $700, scalping is going to occur regardless of whatever platform(s) may be involved. And if the facial price is $20 and the market price is $5, scalping won't occur regardless of whatever platform(s) may be involved.

Wrote my own Ticketmaster replacement for the Handmade conferences, as it's one of our core principles [0]:

> Anything essential to our conferences is processed in-house. E.g. When you register for an event we personally handle the process to generate your ticket—removing spying middlemen like Ticketmaster.

It saves thousands in Ticketmaster fees which is life-changing when you're indie. We don't have to overcharge ticket holders.

I'd be interested in turning this into a polished webapp other organizers can install and use. Sadly, building your own replacement doesn't address the monopoly TM has with the biggest venues.

As a rule, when trying to convey information, I try to write and speak plainly. I try to avoid jargon.

I have found many academic papers in the faux sciences to be extremely dense and full of terms that are only known to the priests of that arcane subject (still subsidized by taxes as if the result is a common good).

If you have a point, say it. There is no need to write in legalese. When I see supposed research written like this, I assume it’s a grift written just for the tiny group of academics tenured in that subject, who review each others’ papers every year, buy each others’ books, and keep the perpetual motion machine of funding running until they hit retirement.
