Just the lowest price in the first row of Google shopping. Admittedly unscientific. Just trying to get a ballpark sense for relative prices.

As noted elsewhere, I’m an empty nester. Cooking for two adults, both of whom are athletic and celiac, so my perception of what’s cheap is WAY skewed. We eat lots of fish, chicken, and fresh produce.
When we can talk about "a diverse candidate", the word has obviously become untethered from any ordinary meaning.
Lakewood Church isn't a normal church building. It literally was multi-purpose sports arena (Compaq Center, hosted the Rockets, Areos, and arena football, hosted concerts for ZZ Top, Shakira, Kid Rock, Nelly, AC/DC, Metallica, Prince, Michael Jackson, and many other notable artists) until 2003. So its got more in common in its bones to a sports arena than a typical church.

Also, yes, a giant ultra megachurch like Lakewood might get 45,000 attendees a week. That's usually split between a few services each of which is like 90 minutes long. So like maybe 18k people peak. The average Taylor Swift concert has 72,000 people in the stadium for several hours.

Also, while yes a large church probably has a cafe or something similar, its usually not equipped to provide food for 70,000 people. Nor bathrooms for said 70,000 people, as most people going to the church are once again only there for like 90 minutes instead of several hours.
Try: "The recent unpleasantness".
It was a bad thing. Not sure how this negates the argument. It was bad back then, and it's bad now?
I mean, I'd love to see, as an example, as in-depth of a report from Fox News detailing the sexual harassment allegations against Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly, but I had no luck searching.

I also don't think NPR would be successful in "burying" it, but they could easily just choose to not report on it.
Nope, it's the Reagan-era relaxation of ownership rules. Guess who owns the stations. And lots of liberals drive cars.
I was fortunate to be able to find a couple of the Niji (Yasutomo) GRIP500 pencils after they went out of production in (I think) the early 1990s. There was nothing like them before or since. If you can find one, pay what you have to for it, but make sure it is NOS or in perfect condition, and do not try to take it apart to see how it works, because there is some non-obvious trick to reassembling them correctly.
Not really my thing, but this section suggests he likely has a valid point. Sometimes, being right is the most unforgivable thing you can be.

Back in 2011, although NPR’s audience tilted a bit to the left, it still bore a resemblance to America at large. Twenty-six percent of listeners described themselves as conservative, 23 percent as middle of the road, and 37 percent as liberal.

By 2023, the picture was completely different: only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal. We weren’t just losing conservatives; we were also losing moderates and traditional liberals.

An open-minded spirit no longer exists within NPR, and now, predictably, we don’t have an audience that reflects America.
And the United Kingdom and France didn't want to start a world war over Austria or the Sudetenland. Appease Russia/Iran/China at your own peril.
We are waiting with some salt & vinegar crisps ;)
Journalistic objectivity was basically invented by anti-Roosevelt media. Before that newspapers were explicitly partisan. Roosevelt was so dominant that Republicans felt the need to change the script.

FYI, the Civil War was really started by the ridiculously stupid attack on Fort Sumter. If SC hadn't gone off and attacked the fort the US would have split into two or three countries...and everyone would have been OK with that.
Is this really a business model issue? I understood that NPR’s funding primarily comes from corporate sponsors, not listeners or the government. If that’s true, there is less incentive to preserve local affiliates. Consolidation is inevitable, I would imagine.
I don't know why you are being downvoted.

At one point "pacifist" Japan was one of the top world spenders on "defense". It's a sham and has always been so.

The only benefit was that Japan didn't have to join the initial phase of any of America's invasions on behalf of its asian/middle east ally/ies.

They have been spending big since the mid 90s. It's too bad that the SDF is still incompetent compared to its neighbours.

>>"...a timeless truth: When we simplify complex systems, we destroy them, and the devastating consequences sometimes aren’t obvious until it’s too late."

This a thousand times over. This should be taught in schools and repeated from the earliest grades to post-grad. It bears repetition, sufficient that it is seen by everyone as obvious. Then, perhaps the society will value complexity and diversity as the true strengths that they are. Homogenizing and monoculture will kill us all, whether it is forestry, agriculture, human cultures, economies, the internet, or mil or corporate orgs. Uniformity is brittleness.
Basmati. But my technique is probably heathen. I use 2:1 and then cook it uncovered in a microwave (1.5 cups of rice, 20 minutes). I love the resulting texture but it might not be for everyone. I like my rice drier and more “al dente”.

> You have a choice to not buy the ticket. This is like hating De Beers yet buying diamonds from them. Monopoly on a non-necessity: anyone can opt out.

I fundamentally disagree with your characterization of a consumer's options. Is your argument that I should have the fortitude and knowledge to opt out of coercive economic relationships? Why should I, as the consumer, bare the brunt of the responsibility for holding a corporation responsible for their misdeeds when they utilize their scale and volume to nullified my actions? Do I, as an individual, have any sway over corporate decision making when my fellow consumers do not have that fortitude or knowledge?

I do not agree that every scenario of corporate abuse should fall on the consumer to hold the corporation accountable because we are on unequal footing. This is regardless of the product being offered. These particular companies are taking advantage of shell games to keep customers in the dark on how they are being abused. I, as a simple consumer, withdrawing my dollars have no weight on the scale.

You really should read up on how Pearl Jam tried to fight Ticket Master in the 90s and lost popularity because they were effectively unable to host a show for years.

If Pearl Jam wasn't able to defeat Ticket Master, I find it laughable that you think individual consumers have any more weight in this matter.
Forty years ago, Threads aired. Watch it if you dare.
It’s just odd that they feel the need to explain to their audience most professors, and especially mathematics and computer science professors, in the 1950s were white men. Or that a lot of the funds for the research came from industry or the military.

It’s just not interesting or newsworthy.
> might be simpler, perhaps less costly to ditch a large military, treaty obligations and just rely on a hundred nukes for invasion deterrence

This is how you get nuclear war, or at least the normalisation of tactical nukes on the battlefield [1]. It's the world we're heading towards, given the direction American deterrence credibility has been heading.

The scalper is trading volatility (they may or may not sell the ticket for a higher price) for the opportunity of a return. The venue is getting the opposite side of the deal. Guaranteed income now.
Half the fun is trying to guess which 40% of those are just larping, which 40% are feds, and which 20% are actually real.
I find NN to be a tricky issue because the devil is very much in the details, and the history of "platforms" and "networks" in the abstract is a rich text (especially viz. some pretty obnoxious examples of brinkmanship where multiple parties were all convinced that they were the pivotal gatekeeper to the audience/customer base, e.g. [1]) .

I don't think there's necessarily a problem with having multiple service tiers where low latency/jitter or high throughput is only guaranteed on a higher tier. But if the network is rigged so that low-tier customers get a bad experience even in low-demand conditions, there's almost certainly some unethical fuckery going on. Basically, there's probably some point where "best effort" needs to be imposed as a baseline rather than a premium option.

Note, the common reason people fail to comprehend what Dykstra was explaining, is because people don't realize they are almost universally adopting one of the three major programming paradigms.

While people are familiar with Functional and OOP, most forgot or don't know about structured programming. Because it has proven to be good by default almost universally.

Look at the COBOL ALTER statement or GCC computed GOTO to see what the issues were.

While there are Böhm–Jacopini theorem purists that argue break and return, it is the law of diminishing returns.

Break and return may be syntactic sugar for GOTO, but they don't have the same problem of the unrestricted transfer of control that was and is considered harmful.
The problem with paywalls is that every organization wants your money separately. I don't want to create a separate account with NY Times, YouTube TV, The Guardian, Atlantic, Bloomberg, etc. and pay for each service separately. In particular, I consider each such account a security risk for data breaches and a potential for leaking my private information. Maintaining each account, having separate passwords, dealing with burdensome and intentionally difficult cancellations are all major headaches.

I don't want Google and the likes to become more powerful either, but some kind of consolidated access to all such information might be a better approach for the news consumer. Perhaps some kind of pay per "article" model might work better.

I would have been more willing to pay something like 25 cents per article if there was a universal access model.

I suprise myself saying this, but AOL model was probably a more consumer friendly approach...
Capping at major version level is just common sense, IMO. It almost shouldn't be even possible to leave the major version out when declaring package dependencies. A new version might as well be an entirely unrelated library/application from the viewpoint of compatibility, so it might as well be part of the name of the package. Not unlike how the python major version is part of the name of the interpreter.

Major versions going EOL'd and unmaintained is unfortunate, but that's not a purely technical problem. Releasing a new major version and breaking compatibility with existing users is as much a social decision as a technical one.

I'm not sold on the "semver doesn't work anyway" angle here either, although I admit that it's not perfect.
3 hours seems plausible if you need to take a bus trip with a transfer.

1:15 each way on the bus and 30min in the store
You might find splitting the functions into two works well. The outer one tries to allocate whatever resources are needed, the inner one assumes they have been allocated. Ends up looking something like (copied from one of my C codebases)

static regex_compare_t regex_canonical_equivalent_with_structures(
regex_cache_t *cache, stringtable_index_t x, stringtable_index_t y,
intstack_t *stack_arg, intmap_t *map_arg) {
// fairly complicated code using those structures
}

regex_compare_t regex_canonical_equivalent(regex_cache_t *cache,
stringtable_index_t x,
stringtable_index_t y) {

if (x.value == y.value) {
return regex_compare_equal;
}

intstack_t stack = intstack_create(256);
if (!intstack_valid(stack)) {
return regex_compare_out_of_memory;
}

intmap_t map = intmap_create(16);
if (!intmap_valid(map)) {
intstack_destroy(stack);
return regex_compare_out_of_memory;
}

regex_compare_t res =
regex_canonical_equivalent_with_structures(cache, x, y, &stack, &map);
intstack_destroy(stack);
intmap_destroy(map);

return res;
}

ABBA actually built their own venue for their ongoing "ABBA Voyage" shows in London[1]. That's a residency, though. I'm not sure about the viability of doing it for a world tour!

> Russia’s unprovoked, unjust, and brutal war of aggression against Ukraine has entered its third year. As I often say, Ukraine of today may be East Asia of tomorrow. Furthermore, Russia continues to threaten the use of nuclear weapons, which has contributed to worldwide concern that yet another catastrophe by nuclear weapon use is a real possibility. In this reality, close coordination between Japan and the U.S. is required more than ever to ensure that the deterrence our Alliance provides remains credible and resilient.

I appreciate how clear and straightforward the speech is. Ukraine was a wakeup call that Pax Americana is over and China is the next threat.
This seems to be from 2 years ago, a lot of things could have changed.

He seemed quite opinionated on flakes, but the only bad thing that I can see to flakes is that you cannot pass args to them, for imo no valid reason, you have to use the file+file protocol and update the inputs each time to have a reasonable way to pass parameters...
I appreciate NPR's unbiased reporting on internal conflict. They could have dragged Berliner but chose to report the facts as they are.

That's why they're in my top three rotation.
A news organization that chased “diversity of opinion” would not be a good news organization.

Some opinions are not worth entertaining. If NPR were broadcasting the rantings of flat earthers, Sasquatch hunters, and anti-vax weirdos, it may be entertaining but it wouldn’t be news.

Also: the reason DEI initiatives ignore “diversity of political views” is because that is not a trait you are born with.
They don't have to be displayed in tabs.
Speaking as someone who leans very slightly left in a deep red state (I would probably be considered a conservative anywhere else), this is nonsense. It may or may not have been true in the Reagan years, I'm too young to know, but Trump conservatives have absolutely no idea where liberals are coming from. Their perspectives on liberal views are just as skewed by stereotypes and propaganda as leftists' views of conservatives are.
This is a great article, but it's missing the elephant in the room: copyright.

There's a reason that our society has allowed <10 companies to own the internet: the internet is content. Anyone who can claim to "own" content has the right to monopolize it. We didn't simply allow corporations to build walls of garden around us: we enshrined those walls as a legal right!

This article opens with a great metaphor, comparing the internet to a forest. Let's continue that metaphor, and see how copyright fits in. What is a tree made of? Content. Copyright doesn't simply give someone ownership of their garden, it gives them ownership of entire species. Want to grow an Apple tree? Too bad: you don't have the right to copy Apple's species. Want to pollinate your gnu tree with an Apple tree? No can do: Apple trees were intentionally designed to be incompatible with free range bees.

Every thing we do on the internet is carefully managed with contracts centered around copyright. Giant corporations own nearly all the copy rights. Is it any surprise that they write all the contracts?

We need to rewild the internet; and to do that, we (and our peers) will need seeds.
You can edit the post and add the word "How" back to the front of the title.
It still is, but Microsoft very quiety released WSLg for Windows 10, something they said they wouldn't do, it would be Windows 11 only. I only found this out by accident on a machine I had installed MobaXTerm on, but didn't start it. Installed / fired up some basic X apps and they worked without it (hello xeyes!)

MobaXTerm is still great for managing SSH login details.
No conflict there if you're used to their New England shows like Car Talk and Wait Wait (* pretending Chicago is New England for the moment). They were always woke, as in constantly making identity jokes about ethnic white people like Jews and Italians.
It's one rep per set not one set, and they work up to the one rep starting from lighter weights, and do the one rep set for many sets.
Haha, just tried it and it really does work like that. Amazing.
The point isn't necessarily that stores need to spring up nearby, the point is that it needs to be easier to access stores (eg by making it easier to get transportation).
HN culture is progressive on some things but very libertarian on others. It's not very left wing because a large portion of the posters here are quite insulated from the plight of blue collar workers.
The USA no longer has the productive power to win any sort of protracted conflict. For example, the USA has virtually no ship building capacity, being almost entirely reliant on Japan and South Korea. It’s a bad look for a country that fancies itself a naval superpower.
Interesting when you say the parent is misrepresenting when that American Bar article is just a summary of the Muller report by Barr and Rosenstein, who both have come under criticism for their review of the report.
We must be on different internets. The one I'm on is having a golden era.

* My current ISP offers greater than 1000/1000 fiber for a smaller monthly payment than my first home broadband connection in 2003. Adjust for inflation it's probably 1/2 the cost while being over 50 times better. It's incomparable to the dial up before then.

* I don't see a lot of ads on the internet. If I see an ad on a website I either upgrade my adblock or I stop going to that website.

* I don't have a ton of subscription services. If you were to tally my subscription services and weigh them against what I previously used for competing services I am saving a ton of money. Cable TV, DVDs, and CDs were expensive.

* It's so casual and fun to jump on a voice call with a group of friends to play a game, or someone shares a screen of an anime and we have a little movie night. It's so easy to see what games my friends are playing. It's so easy to watch any movie I want, or listen to any song that I want, or play any game I want. The tools to have fun online are way better than ever.

* It's possible to learn about anything I am curious about. You can do everything, from getting a highschool level lecture to read the latest research from the top researchers. I often find experts willing to answer my questions, even though I am coming in as a complete stranger.

* I absolutely love the move towards more independent publishing. The number of interesting people I follow on twitter, or youtube, or watch on twitch is insane. Before the internet media felt like a monoculture with everyone watching the same 40 channels on TV every night. I'm subscribed to indie newsletters instead of magazines. I'm watching Starcraft 2 tournaments instead of the superbowl. Some of this was around before the internet, but it's much more now and the long term trend is looking great.

* I can get involved in so many interesting conversations, and I rarely have problems finding interesting conversations to listen in on or join in on. People from all walks of life, with all kinds of perspectives.
This exists today... you can buy several tiers of tickets on Ticketmaster and the ability to even access those tickets depends on other status.

Today we see Ticketmaster adding numerous fees and using anti-competitive venue and artist lock-in to avoid the industry having competition.

I have been to over 100 concerts in the last 2 years and I can't say I have noticed any additional value or ease by using my tickets through Ticketmaster (I actually use DICE a lot which at least has a simple resale process for FV and shows full cost)
No, the original conversation was about the perceived decline in quality at NPR. You then popped in to say that it was up to the local affiliates, not up to NPR, because these aren't "NPR shows" (by your own personal definition of that phrase). But regardless of whether we adopt your definition (and forsake the definition that Terry Gross and just about everyone else use), how is a decline in the quality of shows that NPR distributes not their responsibility, given that they can and do choose which shows to distribute?

Yes. This is happening. Stay tuned.
Most acts take years to become laws, so it's highly unlikely (and the article itself points that out - "it is unlikely that the Americas Act will get passed in the current Congress")

That said, if it did pass, it's probably going to be one of the strongest piece of legislation for consumer decoupling from China, as it basically forces nearshoring the entire textiles industry to Central and South America (Maquiladoras 2.0).

Good for Guatemala and El Salvador, bad for Vietnam and Bangladesh.

While I agree NPR was too quick to reject and smear the lab-leak hypothesis, it doesn't help your case to include the Hunter Biden Laptop hysteria that was fabricated whole-cloth and never had an ounce of substance to it.
> Potentially, a big player with money to burn can undercut them

I guarantee you that Ticketmaster's pockets are much deeper. They have entrenched themselves. This romantic notion that consumers should strike against situations like this or that smaller players should find edges in are just not realistic to me because of the entrenchment, coercion and scarcity at play here.

A very popular band in the 90s tried to fight Ticketmaster. They failed. So I just don't understand this narrative in the face of all the evidence that these tactics just don't or won't work.

I think they intentionally meant second world. They mention "one party" (presumably one political party), which was generally a feature of the second world instead of third. Additionally, the third world generally allows you to own your house, which is another one of their examples.
