Tips kind of makes sense though. Cost is generally related to number of dishes/amount of work/level of service expected. It's hard to imagine how Ticketmaster does anything more for more expensive tickets. I mean, credit card fees would be a sliver of it, and I guess fraud costs could be proportional?
To what degree is this shift due to NPR's own actions vs. the pressure of the former president?

I would guess that any news source that is not specifically pro-Trump has bled conservative viewers/listeners/readers in the last 8 years.
Steven Pinker? Is that you?

I guess we can call it then. This is good enough. No reason to improve from here.

We should definitely just live with a perpetual war in the middle east. That seems fine. World Hunger is good enough. Racism is more or less solved. At least it's solved enough for my purposes as a white guy. Climate change will probably be fine as it is.

I'm sorry but "this is better than it's ever been" is less of a defense of the current time period, and more of an indictment of human history.
I am trying to blog more this year. After evaluating multiple options, I chose to use Ghost.org. While I know I could self host, I didn’t want the burden of securing web servers in my free time and found Ghost’s pricing model reasonable. Ghost.org also makes email subscriptions easy. My goal is not to monetize or grow a large audience, but to simply share things I’ve learned with a larger audience. I require control of my content, and did not want to force visitors to make an account to read my posts. Ghost allows me to own my data and not force paywalls or ads onto visitors. I didn’t want a Medium.com-like experience.

If you’re trying to monetize your content Substack is more popular for that currently. Alternatively, if you’re looking for low cost solutions where you are still in control of your content, consider Jekyll or Hugo and hosting static content on GitHub Pages or a CDN/S3.

As a shameless plug, I’m just starting to get into blogging at https://chrisebert.net. My focus areas are serverless development, observability, and event-driven architectures.
If you want to purchase a book on Amazon, then your best bet is to just only look for books sold and published by a reputable or at least known publisher. This is especially true for a lot of older books, which often have great editions in the midst of awful "print on demand" versions or new typesettings of old public domain version with awful quality and editing.

(Then, even further, you might as well just cut out Amazon as the middleman if you're so inclined, or look for a local book store that has online purchases.)
> This is specifically about 5G Connections, largely impacting mobile phones and those few who have 5G home internet connections (I pity you).

What difference does it make? If they're allowed to deprioritize certain connections over 5G, how long until they're allowed to do it over any connection?

And I've never heard of "enhanced video over data" - is that a US only thing?

> and it's really not a lot of fun to have Google Maps fail to load when you're in a crowded area because a ton of people are posting on Instagram or playing Fruit Ninja.

You have very mixed messaging - first you say that it only affects some types of connections (with the implication that it's a bad thing, but at least it won't affect everyone), but now you're turning around to say it's a good thing, actually. The reason why we should advocate for ISPs to be blind to whether someone's using Instagram or Google Maps is because, if they're not, it won't be used for the benefit of the consumer like you imagine. It will be immediately used to segment the internet into pieces and charge customers separately for it, as just another way of squeezing more money.
I can just see this unfolding.

It's not a strawman, it's your real man. It's the first sentence in the article you cited.

The conspiracy I'm talking about is the one described here: https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n1656

"For most of 2020, the notion that SARS-CoV-2 may have originated in a lab in Wuhan, China, was treated as a thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory."

which identifies the misinformation's origin here:

"Shortly after the pandemic began, Daszak effectively silenced debate over the possibility of a lab leak with a February 2020 statement in the Lancet.2 “We stand together to strongly condemn conspiracy theories suggesting that covid-19 does not have a natural origin,” "
I think Pearl Jam did something very similar to that IIRC with regards to ticketing and re-selling.

It was a hit with their fans, but the problem is that only so many acts have the ability to do so (and as you say - it's actually not in their best fiscal interest, so you're going to self-select even further).

Ticketmaster willingly plays the bad guy role, and makes a fuck ton of money in the process.

That said, the vertical integration it has with Live Nation should be considered a monopoly, and trust-busted as such.

Fascinating, then were model checkers successful at all for finding interesting properties and behaviors?

IIRC Petri Nets are strictly more powerful than register-transfer/Boolean state machines, intuitive reason being the Petri net tokens are a dynamic set of unbounded, concurrent counters (whereas a state machine has a fixed set of state variables equivalent to a single counter). I wonder if this paper explains this distinction as it argues one reduces to the other.

No dispute about that, antisemitism as a term to describe persecution of Jews certainly is used to apply to instances that took place 1000s of years ago. That does not mean that antisemitism didn't change, with different forms emerging with different excuses. Hatred of a group of people often precedes rationales for that hatred, excuses are made after the fact.

That doesn't change the fact that hatred towards Jews as a race, hatred towards them on the basis of their birth, their intrinsic nature, as opposed to on the basis of their religion or as a culture, emerged in the 19th century. In almost all of the instances you mention prior to the 19th century, with the exception of the Cossack uprising, conversion from Judaism to Christianity would have spared you. The Cossack uprising and in particular the Khmelnytsky Uprising was not on racial grounds, it was on mercantile grounds and opposed to Jews on the basis of their status as tax collectors as well as propaganda about their collaboration with Polish nobility. Certain Jewish communities seen to have not been involved in either aspect were spared, indicating that the hatred towards Jews was not based on race.

In Nazi Germany, if you were considered a Jew by race, nothing you did could have spared you. Nothing.
President will sign the bill and courts will uphold its legality. I think it’s pretty obvious.
Your criticism would be no different leveled at donating to charity, giving loose change to someone on the street, dropping money on a collection plate, or using the "buy me a coffee" tip like for FOSS projects. What's not real about being part of a community that doesn't have restricted access? Is a community in a FOSS project only real because you need a GitHub account or is that also fake because it doesn't cost money? lThat's a mighty sad outlook on life.

Can we just remove Nigeria from the internet?
We are indeed doing well by historical standards. Looking back to Dickensian times, for example, those at the lowest echelons of society were lucky to make it to their teenage years at all! Infant and child mortality was far higher than it is today. And for those (who were poor and who lacked supportive parents) that lived to 13+, the majority had received little or no schooling, were virtually guaranteed to be illiterate, had likely already lost close family / friends, had likely already been employed in slave-like conditions, had likely already lived a life of crime out of necessity, and were likely to be incarcerated or executed in their lifetime.

Not that any of that means we can't do better today. We can and we should.

Japan is preparing for a 2 front war - Taiwan and North Korea.

It's safe to assume that any war over Taiwan will inevitably include Japan, and that any escalation in TW will leave an opening for a similar escalation on the DMZ in Korea.

Also, Japan does have a land dispute with Russia over the Kuril Islands, but that will probably never be a hot war.
Someone made a similar claim in HN recently. I reviewed Dijkstra's paper and it doesn't bear out the claim. The C goto falls squarely under the scope of the paper.

Dijkstra's paper is not strictly focused on a global, machine-language goto that can branch anywhere in the address space.

In fact, Dikjstra mention that he would also like to banish statement like while B repeat A and repeat B until A, because we have recursion, which makes them unnecessary. He lets them slide only for reasons of "realism" and because such loops are analyzable with inductive techniques.
I am looking at the source of this '.xml' URL and... that's not something you see every day.
Take it to its root, the only reason we have spammers is because people who control technology instead of reducing work hours created marketing and advertising agencies to create artificial desire to buy useless garbage.

If you think spammers are the problem, you're missing the bigger picture, by a lot.

Technology should've brought about fewer work hours, instead it brought about mass insanity.
Right away, I was struck by the early chart "Parenting style" which shows about 75% with "Two parents uninvolved". Pardon my language: What the fuck does that even mean? I call bullshit. The whole article is nothing more than typical doomerism that spikes the reader's emotions with clickbait.

Another one from "Household income vs. poverty line":

> And a lot of kids are growing up extremely poor – which, in and of itself, can be traumatic.

Here, the phrase "a lot" is absolutely an editorial phrase. It would be more clear and less emotional to use a percent value. Instead, they chose the clickbait route. Interestingly, they chose the term "extremely poor", but their own chart does not use it, nor include a definition of it. The lowest income category simply says "In poverty". In past discussions about poverty, many people on HN have shared their personal poverty experiences and the range of poverty. You can be right at the poverty line, but making ends meet. Or you can be deep in poverty, struggling terribly. Again, the article fails to provide necessary nuance.
> But he shows it is not based on these things because surveys also show that people significantly overestimate the number of black people killed by police.

What is the proper number of people to be killed by the police that we shouldn't worry about it? (hint: don't answer this question)
The fact that people think the number is more than it actually is feels pretty moot when the number is more than zero. It's also more as a percentage of police killings than one would expect if we were just talking about police incompetence. If this has improved in the years since, then I think that's probably a good thing? Hot take, In general I think the police killing fewer people is a good thing.
If this does not include inflation then gtfo, big deal.
Yeah, I used to get great tickets and good prices from scalpers for football and basketball games. Scalpers only work when the demand is so far above the supply. See Taylor Swift. The way to kill scalpers is to do more shows, but she doesn't want to play to a 1/2 full stadium. She'll never do enough shows to completely satisfy demand which will keep prices high.
You are deeply misunderstanding the game and its mechanics.
In my anecdotal experience, more than 99% of communication in Discord happens completely in text across all communities.
do you know why "mm" (which to me means "millimeters") is used with $ values? I mean, a house can be $ 250K, a mansion might be $ 1.1M, and our national debt might be $ 34.4T. OK, I understand those.

How does 'mm' equate to 'M'? And if it does equate, why not use 'M' as a simpler way to designate a quantity of "millions" ?
My daughter asked me to set her up with a blog on her own server. We did it, and there is now a Hello World post somewhere out there on the web. But it wasn't a good experience, compared to what I know posting on Instagram is like. And that's just on the publishing side. The chances of her site being even indexed, let alone visited, is tiny.

It's surprising* that rolling your own on the web has gotten harder, not easier, in the last 20 years. But it has.

*Surprising in the narrow sense that technology usually improves. I know all too well why lone sites don't do well on the web.

"Whatever we do, the internet isn't returning to old-school then-common interfaces like FTP and Gopher, or each organization running its own mail server, rather than operating off G-Suite."

It does not need to "return" to FTP because FTP is still in use. Periodically I am submitting examples of FTP servers to HN that are still operated today that are often critical to software developers and so-called "tech" companies.

>Ultimately i want something that makes me think about the topic in new ways; you need to dig beyond the surface to do that.

You, a person that already knows about this, will never get that from a short segment on a public radio show intended for a general audience that knows next to nothing about it.

It is intended to make that audience think about it differently, because they have not even bothered to think critically about this at a surface level.

The fact that these models (along with every structure in any society) embeds the biases of those that designed them seems to continue to elude so many commenters here though, so it seems they really need to keep hearing this too.

That's interesting. Why store it? Why not compute it as needed using the model?

I'm guessing the GOP is more likely to support it because it's anti-business than because it'd help solve the root causes of immigration.

That's been a piece of their platform in recent years, especially after Trump got in. Here's a recap from 2022:

I don't know, there are lots of games that feature the same die-and-repeat mechanics - roguelikes, soulslikes, metroidvanias, shmups, survival games - and I don't play those games precisely because I find them tedious and disrespectful of my time. This game for some reason gets grouped in with walking sims and adventure games but in fact it shares little in common with those genres due to the instadeath scenarios, time limits, resource limits, and so on.
> In one year, the US will elect Donald Trump as president – a man who constantly insults poor people and calls them "morons."

This is blatantly false and yet for no reason at all is embedded here. It makes it harder to trust the author for everything else when they do stuff like this. “Trump Derangement Syndrome” is clearly much more than just a meme.
I'm glad to see this. I run jumpcomedy.com which provides ticketing/event management services for comedy shows (or pretty much anything but focused on comedy) and this industry is dominated by a few big players that charge exorbitant service fees which customers have no choice to pay because these are exclusive deals.

I've gotten smaller clubs and comics to hop over, and got one big tour to join, but when it comes to the well-known artists, they are contractually bound to go with the big companies. I'm very happy someone is taking action.
Part of the problem with this stat, which I saw someone point out on Twitter, is that conservative demographics have changed since 2011. College-educated white voters, especially women, have shifted significantly toward the Democratic party during the Trump years, and that was probably the biggest listener demographic for NPR.

So NPR listeners in 2011 and 2023 could be the exact same people and the % of conservative listeners would have gone down. (That said, I suspect this isn’t the only explanation - NPR content has gotten more ideologically left during that timeframe too)
It would be your fault for trusting a random website
This is 100% accurate.

In the wise words of the late child psychologist Urie Bronfenbrenner, Professor Emeritus of Human Development and Psychology at Cornell:

In order to develop – intellectually emotionally, socially and morally – a child requires participation in progressively more complex reciprocal activity on a regular basis over an extended period in the child's life, with one or more persons with whom the child develops a strong, mutual, irrational, emotional attachment and who is committed to the child's well-being and development, preferably for life. (Bronfenbrenner, 1991, p. 2)

Or paraphrased by him:

“Every child needs at least one adult who is irrationally crazy about him or her.”

Not really sure causality is being poor -> being more expensive

Could go the other way, behaviors that make people more expensive -> being poor

Different hot take: if we took schooling more seriously this would be less of an issue. Which is on the one hand a government problem, on the other hand a cultural problem (compared to, say, Japan)

Just throwing money at a problem without attaching strings or directing how it's used is administrative complacency
This is fascinating. Also kind of helps explain why my experiences aren’t relatable to the people I work with as they (mostly).

This is my peer group too!

So cool to see how our experiences shape us. For better or worse.
The US in fact has a gigantic welfare state support system. The US spends more of its GDP on social welfare than either Canada or Australia, and we spend it poorly unfortunately (our return on investment is not great, we spend too much for too weak of results, as with healthcare).

To add to your list: housing, healthcare, food programs exist at the local + state + federal levels. The US state government system is huge unto itself, like having an entire other federal government nearly.

There are thousands of government support programs between the state + federal levels of government.

People outside of the US are almost entirely ignorant of how large the government systems in the US are. They're not as big as in France or Denmark obviously, they are still sizable compared to the median peer nation (on a GDP % basis).
It doesn't shock me that there's anti-US propaganda. It shocks me that people on this site routinely fall for it.
Yep, client abuse of the IP QOS is an issue, the idea would be to split the traffic on 2 lanes:

1 - high priority, but very and really small bandwidth (usually depending on the line tech: xDSL, cable or fiber). Usually enough bandwidth for an handful of audio calls/game traffic streams. The client is in charge of that QOS on its domestic network though.

2 - the best effort lane.

Namely, the ISP would have to enforce that QOS at the modem, or line collect, namely as close to the client as possible.

IPv[46] has the TOS field for that with diffserv (other?). IPv6 could tell the ISP fine grained traffic requirements with pre-defined standard IPv6 labels.

There is no reasonable reasons the ISP would charge for the "fast lane". It should be default and neutral to as many ISPs as possible and ISP transits/peerings should keep the priority of the fast lane.

Since the bandwidth would be limited early the network hierarchy and omega shmol, this means little to no incentive to cheat on it.

That would unlock "for almost sure" high quality audio communications (with the encrypted audio stream protocol chosen by the user software/hardware) and ultra fast gaming on domestic line internet.
Those safety nets have huge gaps. The government doesn't want to be accused of harboring freeloaders (or, perhaps more accurately, a significant chunk of the population would rather people be homeless than a few "welfare queens" be permitted to cheat the system), so many who are genuinely in need can't get it.
How does this compare with other alternatives in the market like AWS API Gateway and Azure APIM?
If this complaint ends in an investigation (big if) and the investigation reveals those issues, this is going to be Boeing's nightmare that will pile onto their growing list of issues. Would it even be possible for the company to be salvaged at that point?
