If I had to guess, it is probably in their fine print, and the ability to pay for a refund would be a further refutation in a chargeback case.

That the ticket could not be sold via their system for whatever reason, is not a 'simple' act, although TBH maybe they should write to the DOJ or whatever... given some of the other stuff they've been caught doing, it would not at all surprise me to see some `if (!ticket.HadRefundOption) throw` hidden in their sales system.

TBH OP (Not a lawyer, not legal advice) you could always try small claims, they might not even show up and then you can collect a default judgement
I think it’s honestly annoying how they feel they have to parenthetically add every time something is a lie or untrue. While their intention is good I think it does a service to no one and underestimates the intelligence of their listeners.

Also almost every story gets tied to either identity politics or climate change. Also just gets annoying even for those who agree. It’s like watching a movie with too much exposition dialogue.

Teplizumab: Immune Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes
Pretty lite reading. I was expecting some actual useful things beyond secure your system 101. Closest we got was check for jailbreak attacks… seriously? Why not design for jailbreak in mind so it doesn’t matter what they can get the AI to attempt to do. I.e., if the user tries to get the AI to unlock a door, if the user doesn’t already have authorization for that function then it shouldn’t work even if the AI attempts it on their behalf, and conversely, if they have the authorization then who cares if they coaxed the AI to do it for them?
Hardly anyone ever complains that I'm doing it wrong, for starters.
Did you comment on the right article? This seems to have nothing to do with whether the Bloomberg study article is correct or not.
The funny thing is that NPR's listenership is extremely white. National Review showed a while back that 90% of listeners are white. More recent numbers estimate it's around 80%.

Believe it or not, Fox News' viewership is much more diverse than NPR's. NPR fails dramatically by the standards of diversity that they hold everyone else to. It makes sense that they now cater exclusively to self-hating white people, since that's the only market they have left after years of declines in programming quality.

There are 8 billion people on the planet. You can fill 24/7 with whatever kinds of stories you wish—-sad, maddening, inspiring, funny, joyful, and outrageous too. It’s pure choice to pick the last one, it’s not in any way forced by reality.
As much as I'd love to stick it to them, I haven't looked into it at all, assuming I'd have to pay more for legal counsel than the tickets were worth.
The more we talk about it, the angrier people get. That's truly the only reason to even have a conversation about my ancestors I never met owning your ancestors you never met. Things have gotten substantially worse in the last 16 years, not better, and that's because we've been using a spotlight to point out how different everyone is from each other. It's literally counterintuitive.

a) She could not and b) that leaves the exclusive contracts TM already has in place as the barrier.
Of all the people to do so, I wouldn't put it past her motivation nor her persistence to accomplish this. If there's anything she seems to hate to the point of outright spite, it's unfairness. Look at how she re-recorded her entire library basically out of spite just in order to systematically devalue what Scooter Braun managed to (pretty shadily) wrest from her control. I thoroughly admire that level of revenge.
Yes, they definitely should use something like that from the start, in my view. But I think they won't, because there is now a lot of evidence that this will result in a bunch of bad press, whereas just making it proprietary will go without comment.

What incentive do companies have to do this?
> I don't know what people on Hacker News are doing that they can never seem to find a single useful result on any search engine, ever.

And they never give specific examples either.
I read the number, but statistics about safety sometimes seems to me a little as magician, (not only about Nuclear) EG: Chernoby disaster, after 30 years there is no agreements in the numbers of deaths. I remember some expert counting only the victims of the explosion/fire, the radiation effects in the long period are very difficult to account, and is quite easy to rule out big numbers, this is an extreme example, but give the idea.
The same can be said about the fossil fuels problems, and every pollution problem, is so complex to determine cause-effects, and statistics is often the only tool, but is a tool so flexible, can 'demonstrate' quite everything in the wrong hands.

To me nuclear is not really sustainable, not even (enough) secure, probably in the near future research can add some security, i think not quite, maybe Thorium fission and others things, but any theory (and statistics) must confront with reality, like Fukushima plant where is a reactor with a core loaded with U/Pu mix, fused, with extimation of removal in the order of 20, 30 years.
Chosing to invest more big resources in this tech as a main source of energy is a big risk, imho.
I believe so, but they have a notorious track record of not doing so.

But from other articles it sounds like these prosecutions involved some kind of parallel legal system just for the mail?

I think though that the issue that this saga hit is that the law was such that the computer “evidence” was presumptively correct so they tried to pretend any “bugs” they were aware of didn’t change that fact and so the existence of bugs was not “exculpatory” - obviously BS, but it seems like that was the core behaviour/belief of the post office. That put the victims in the position of having to disprove the accusation but the only “evidence” in the case was the presumptively true report from the buggy system.

Ie the only evidence presented was a system that was buggy, but the victim could not get evidence the system was broken without first proving it was broken.

Yay!
There are serious journalistic problems with his concrete claims. For example the early part of it hinges on the Mueller report showing "no credible evidence of collusion" which is a straight up misrepresentation. It found many specific instances of collaboration, and some evidence of collusion but not enough to indicate criminal conspiracy. Which is messier than what he is implying and very relevant to his argument.

Later when he talks about the political affiliations of the newsroom, how did he access the voter registrations? How many of those people don't live in DC and so aren't registered there, and how did he count them? What are the professional-ethical implications of researching your coworkers in this way?
Is it possible half the population is wrong? Or maybe over counted?
> the government sponsored press.

I guess "the nominally-funded by public grants in amounts about two orders of magnitude down from total funding" doesn't have the same rhetorical sizzle.

And it's not "ignoring" people to realize that those who choose Truth Social or Newsmax maybe just don't want what NPR does, let alone other reasons why it might be a poor idea to chase those listeners.
Yeah this one perplexes me too. I won't deny that there's a ton of blogspam on Google (or any other search engine), but Google is still the best search out there imo. I certainly don't understand people who say they find ChatGPT to be superior. Like, what? They don't even fill the same role!

Do you not then run into other problems? For instance I find that lifting brings an immense amount of contentedness, yet it's essentially hours upon hours of self inflicted suffering and pain. The same is true of family. Somebody raising a 2 year old could describe it in many ways, but reduction of suffering would not be one. Such things greatly contribute to this sense of contentedness and satisfaction.

The IQs of adopted children have next to nothing to do with their environments, and much more to do with the IQs of their birth parents. IQ in general is very strongly heritable. There are several adoption and twin studies that have demonstrated this effect, e.g.:

The data here is somewhat interesting if you're curious about where a country might stack up outside of the three usual suspects at the top. But I question how some of the data is ranked and weighted. For example, I randomly clicked on `United States vs Iran` under flashpoints. One would expect the United States to dominate Iran in all of the categories, given the US is the world's military mac daddy. Not so, though.

According to this page, Iran bests the US in the following categories:

1. Manpower. I guess because Iran has 220k "paramilitary forces" and the US has 0.

2. Financials. This is the really bizarre one. Iran wins because it has less external debt than the US. Which, okay. I don't think ignoring the US economy (or any country's economy) is the best way to compare financials.

3. Geography. Iran wins because it has less coastline and less shared borders. I thought this would be more of a "we know the land" kind of thing but it's just a measurement of raw kilometers.
For context: A 4090 has 76 billion transistors, and the B200 superchip that Nvidia announced has around 200 billion transistors, on an absolutely enormous package of 2 dies glued together ala the M2 Ultra. So this would suggest a minimum density increase of 5 times in the next 6 years. Moore's Law isn't dead yet folks.
You may see correlations between socioeconomic class, but they are still by far weaker than correlations with Individual behavior and choice, which is my point.

Telling someone not to be born poor isn't actionable advice. Telling them their chance of success is 1000% better if they don't do drugs IS actionable advice. Telling them to live in misery and wait for the collective to solve a social problem in decades isn't actionable or useful advice either.

>You empower them by teaching them that it a systemic issue, that it is NOT their fault.

It is a big difference between a higher statistical risk factor isn't your fault, and telling them their choices and behavior have no impact.

Individual responsibility and effort is the foundation of collective responsibility. You can't have collective action with personal action. It isn't one or the other. The boat won't move if there is individual responsibility to paddle.
Being a mere outside observer, I naturally do not have any such evidence, but I do wonder what that approval process is like? Do employees have to, for example, agree not to disparage NPR in such outside work?
Can you please comment on donatj's claim that his post was edited by someone else? Can you or anyone else do this, and did that happen in this case? Does this happen often?
the articles I've seen that provide more detailed analysis typically suggest that you can get more "poor quality calories" from fast food. The real challenge here is most comparisons completely ignore prep and cook time as a cost, but that matters a lot for busy parents who don't have time to make the cheapest possible stew out of the cheapest ingredients.

Fast food bulk-buys, prepares at industrial scale, and automates as much as possible. It's going to be hard to fight against that level of volume discounting.

I have been using DDG for the last 5 years and used google the other day after a fresh install, and i find the results are just worse (IMHO). Now, you also learn to write searches in specific ways depending on the search engine. DDG reminds me more of old school search engines (or at least it used to). Again, this is just my experience, there might also be something with google adapting to your search habits if you allow it, but not sure if that exists in google search like it does in YT.
Well, the people receiving the kidneys won’t be rich on average, although it’s possible they’ll be richer on average than the compensated donors.

There’s a big shortfall of available kidneys but the number is pretty tiny compared to the number of people living paycheck-to-paycheck in America. So it seems unlikely to me that in the future everyone needs to donate a kidney just to stay in the same place—that’d be a couple orders of magnitude more kidneys than we need.

Not to disparage spaces like NeoCities, but to quote the great American singer/songwriter David Berman:

Punk rock died when the first kid said
"Punk's not dead, punk's not dead"

That is - these spaces will never quite be the same as what we once had, because they're fundamentally nostalgic. The "wild" internet was also once the vanguard, the future, and that excitement won't be recaptured by going back.
No, it was flagged for hours until recently.
I think we'd still be happy enough if the ticket prices were disclosed up front, and if they weren't being inflated by everyone (artists, venues (Live Nation), and Ticketmaster) all working together to raise prices. If this gross company were smacked down hard enough, there would be meaningful competition possible. With TM owning most venues or having exclusive rights to them under contract, no serious competition is possible, so markets don't exist. Therefore no market pressures to correct excessively high prices.
Legal counsel isn't allowed in small claims courts. It's just a question of whether it's worth your time.

How Can "Disintegration" Be Positive?
What kind of expert advice did it go against? Honestly sounds like the obvious approach, I think the controversy is around the authoritarian aspects of the whole thing.
The positive influence is just that a cop understands police work.

It seems obvious to me that that's important knowledge for a team tasked with regulating police work.

There are plenty of standards. and all cops go through a ~6 month Police Academy before they get the badge.

And if you think you know as much about police work as someone who has done it for decades, I don't think we can get much further in this discussion.
This is also true; apologies would quite possibly be useful in a legal action.
Even if it is in her interest to not deal with Ticketmaster, her business is performing life music. She as her team aren't trying to create work for themselves to screw TM, they want to do what they do. Imagine trying to set up logistics at a venue/church which has never held a large concert before.
IPAddress <tab> HostName1 <space> HostName2 etc....

Just copy the same hosts file to all your hosts.

Why does your smart TV need to talk to internal hosts? If so, is it terrible to just use the IP? Or use zeroconf/bonjour which was developed specifically so normies would not have to deal with internal DNS.

Your ISP router may implement DNS proxy or more likely doesn't do any name resolution at all; or their embedded DHCP server just passes the ISP DNS IPs to the devices and the one you get is dependent on if you turned on their privacy thing. In which case you don't have internal DNS and the fact that it worked at some point in the past was coincidental and due to some fallback mechanism.

The shitty-equipment issue is not unique to ATT.

The best solution is to do what others suggest; place the ATT gateway in bridge mode and get your own router that runs OpenWRT; you can program your own local hostnames using the web GUI without touching the hosts file or knowing how DNS works, and everything should just work.
As a counterpoint, I listen to The economist’s coverage of US politics. They often interview people involved with the Democrat and Republican campaigns. And I’ve found some of the interviews fascinating - particularly the republican ones because most of my friends and news are left of center.

For example, one interviewee in the trump reelection campaign said they talk a lot internally about obstruction. And so, the campaign has lined up a bunch of politically aligned people ahead of time to take over key departments in the US government if trump gets re-elected, so trump can change a lot of government policies on day 1. I find that fascinating. No matter your politics, it’s interesting to know that the “opposing parties, taking turns governing in different ways” angle seems to be getting stronger.

Hearing from people I don’t have the opportunity to understand in daily life is exactly what I listen to podcasts like this for. I’m glad this coverage exists.

Good thing all my enemies are corrupt.
Over counted, probably not considering the thin margins of election outcomes. Wrong? Yes, half the population is wrong. Which half is wrong depends on which half you're asking. We are all probably wrong about a lot. This cooperation we do in spite of it helps us figure that out.
The first thought that came to my mind was the Google Gemini debacle, as a useful analogy. How did Google release it in the state it was in? How did they not notice the problems? How did leadership think it was a good idea? I think you'd find a lot of similar answers in both cases.
Very nice site, it looks and functions great. However, autocorrect still works for me on MacOS, unlike other typing practice sites. Maybe not that important, but it does somewhat diminish the typing practice you can get :)

Almost all of these calculations work out extremely in favor of just giving the poor money. It's expensive to be poor, and not just for them. They cost more in healthcare, crime, and other support systems. Literally just giving all the homeless cheap housing for free is by far the better option if you actually pay attention to the numbers. The same is abundantly clear for free education. But we can't, because we like the suffering. That's it: Americans like it when other people are suffering. We like it so much that we're willing to suffer ourselves just so that those other people can suffer even more.

To a lesser extent, there's also the Boomer Trolley Problem: if you divert a trolley onto a track wherein nobody dies, how is that fair to all the people who it's already killed!?
If the numbers Berliner revealed about audience losses are correct, the impact is surely being most felt at the local station level. If fewer people are tuning in, fundraising will suffer and cuts are inevitable.

For instance, Boston has two NPR stations, WGBH and WBUR, and both are in trouble. This article talks about declining numbers of live listeners and resistance to digital transformation, but never mentions the issues brought up by Berliner.

I think a lot of banks have gotten weary of chargeback scams and taking the brunt of Amazon's binning practices.

Frankly, I'd think it better if they just cut off those bad retailers from the system, which is where the failing is. Alas, monopolies in -that- sector as far as I know prevent a single bank from doing a whole lot, especially when it's a vendor that does so much volume that all the legitimate chargebacks won't risk their standing with the payment processors.
> Then we turn 18 and we're expected to be "adults" and figure things out. If we fail, we are punished. ... The world we've built has shaped his life.

This is a powerful message. A cynical (mostly realistic) outlook is that we are powerless pawns at the mercy of the powerful (read rich) in the world whose actions are ultimately reasons for blaming the powerless.
