no they arent. the prices are significantly below market value which is why scalping exists. If Taylor Swift actually used market pricing then tickets would be thousands of dollars, but then people would whine that Taylor Swift is greedy, so instead they set some arbitrary "acceptable" ticket value and pawn all the blame on scalpers and Ticketmaster.
You can just look at your own grocery store and your local McDs. I also live in CA and for a quarter lb with cheese comparison I looked up:

My local McD's: $6.39
My local Safeway (not a budget option, no sales, you can do better than all of this): 1 1/4 lb beef patty $1.69, 1 slice cheddar cheese $0.37, 1 hamburger buns $0.22 = $2.28, misc condiments are negligible but let's say $0.25 total = $2.53

That's less than half the cost. The time and resources cost of frying that patty in a skillet and throwing it on a bun with cheese and ketchup comes nowhere close to doubling that, it's not even close.
I think the point is that passively feeding your content to a profit engine actually limits your opportunities vs a modicum of agency over how you want to share your knowledge and experiences. If you honestly don't care about anything beyond your tiktok feed, that's fine, but there is interest out there in a longer time envelope of cultural production.

As an aside, I always wondered why conservative radio always dominated liberal radio. Nearly every conservative pundit has a national show and is syndicated far and wide on AM/FM radio stations. Liberal shows you can't find with a search light. Remember Air America? It lasted two years before a host of scandals and a bankruptcy put it into the "where are they now?" bin as it limped along for another 4 years before shuttering.

But I digress.

Just curious why conservatives still love radio after so many decades and liberals have almost nothing comparable to listen to locally or nationally.

Trauma (physical and emotional) causing reduction in IQ is totally compatible with IQ being in part heritable.

Regarding race/ethnicity correlations from the paper you posted:

"(McGue et al., 2007; Miller et al., 2012). McGue et al. (2007) reported minimal ethnicity effects in the SIBS sample at intake, which we largely replicate in the current follow-up assessment. While rearing family socioeconomic status and polygenic scores were both moderately higher among Asian offspring (Cohen’s = d .36–.46; p < .01 ), no measure of cognitive ability differed significantly between offspring of different ethnicities. See SI Table S6 for these and other comparisons, along with a discussion of their relevance."

Also, the children in that study have not been victims of trauma (or the study has not considered and controlled for it), so it says nothing about that factor in eventual IQ of the individuals studied.
I spent many all-nighters in freezing cold temps in Buffalo NY waiting in line on a sidewalk for the ticket office to open in the mid 80s. It was unpleasant, but fair.

I think artists should reserve a small fraction of their seats for "real" fans that are willing to do something like this. Make the tickets obtained this way non-transferable to prevent scalping.

Heck, a "solution" to scalping would be to implement the above, and sell the rest of tickets via an auction, so the artist captures the revenue and doesn't leave room for the scalpers to make money.

My favourite media player (post-Winamp 2) has always been XMPlay[0]. It perfectly supports Winamp input plugins (as well as its own native type of plugins), meaning I wasn't stuck with using Winamp.

The player also sports excellent demoscene tracked music support (the reason for its name - XM is the file extension for FastTracker II tracked music), but really it's a fantastic media player for a lot of formats in its own right.

It supports a lot of formats natively. For anything else you need to download plugins for it separately[1], but even today it's by far my preferred player on Windows. I'd heartily recommend it for your use case as well.

"Car Talk was originally a radio show that ran on National Public Radio (NPR) from 1977 until October 2012, when the Magliozzi brothers retired."

Source: Wikipedia

I'm laughing at everyone trying to split hairs over Car Talk in this thread. Most long-running programming on PBS were all "locally produced".
I have a friend who was born in Germany but grew up in Switzerland. His wife was born and grew up in Lichtenstein. They have been married for 20+ years and they /still/ occasionally can't understand each other when they slip into their childhood dialects.
My view is that both Myst and Descent were compelling at release because they showcased new technologies.

For Myst it was a high res 3d modelled world you could traverse, interspersed with video clips, all made possible by the new CD-ROM tech. It wasn’t actually that great a game. I loved it at the time but in retrospect there’s just not that much there. The most recent incarnation of a game like this is The Witness which is better in every way I can think of.

For Descent it was true 3D - was it the first? It predates quake. Maybe some people were captivated by the gameplay but for me it was “holy shit it’s 3d”. There’s a reason we have tons of FPSes and only a few Descent clones; the latter just aren’t that fun for most people.
The main reason why was that it's a personal project and I wanted to do everything on my home server so that I wouldn't have to pay for cloud resources, and so that I could learn Postgres, TimescaleDB, and eventuallly PostGIS.

But as rabernat pointed out in his comment, pulling out a long time series from the cloud replica is also slow. And I know I eventually want to perform complex spatio-temporal queries, e.g. computing the 99% percentile of summer temperatures in Chile from 1940-1980.

I don't doubt that a cloud replica can be faster, but it's at odds with my budget of $0 haha.
Why should a rich fan get priority over a poor superfan?

Every system has its tradeoffs.
Apologizing on behalf of exploitation is unbelievably weak.

What do you like to do?

Bike? What if one company controlled all bike sales and bike lanes, bikes costed $20,000 and you needed to pay every time you go on a ride?

Programming? What if one company controlled all computer sales and internet access, they costed $50/hour to use and each program is another $10/hour and it costed another $200/month to host anything publicly?
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: kill the secondary market. Live nation should be broken up but a big driver of cost is the scalpers/hedgers who buy out everything and put it on StubHub.

Just make all sales final. Check IDs at the door, or use technology to speed up identity verification (mail out rfids, etc). Sucks if you get sick or whatever, just like many things in life where you cancel last minute. It’ll substantially decrease cost due to these bottom feeders.

Section 4.3 addresses this, runs 3 benchmarks, tl;dr: 7B roundly beats LLamA 2 7B, almost same performance as LLamA 2 7B-L, which got an extra 500K of training tokens specifically at long context length.

Everyone and their dog knows not to do drugs. Still people do. This is not actionable advice.

Knowing about the effects of poverty means knowing more about yourself. Understanding yourself leads to being able to take more effective actions increasing the control you have over your life.

You seem to think it is about victim mindset vs whatever you toxic middle-class self help "individual responsibility" thing is. Real change can only happen once you understand and accept yourself, including being a victim of circumstance and birth. After that there can there be healing and proper action.

> 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.

That is not the point. The point is for them to educate themselves on the issues they are facing, to politically organize, to organize in the neighborhood, to help each other out and ideally become leaders and role-models in their community. It starts with seeking help and community, not trying to lift yourself up by your bootstraps which often is not realistic.

> 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.

Yes, obviously collective responsibility includes a form of individual responsibility. They only work together when your are poor.
For a simple example, I might have class A that contains an instance of interface/base type B and another field of interface/type C. If B and C each have 4 implementations that means class A can be composed 4 * 4 = 16 ways. But in practice there may only be matching types of B and C that line up such that there's really only going to be 4 distinct permutations of A. I could model this more easily with inheritance.
He’s saying he doesn’t see the basis for the complaints. The Hunter Biden laptop scandal? Even the New York Post (not exactly a left-leaning publication) only ran with the story with the original reporter insisting his byline be omitted and the reporter who was given the byline wasn’t informed of this happening because while the laptop was Biden’s, the validity of the contents could not be verified and had roughly the validity of the Bush National Guard letter.
> The world is no more shitty than it was 40 years ago - but the general public perception of the world seems to have gotten much bleaker.

I'll call bullshit (what is it about a thread on the media that so often necessitates this?).

I don't have an objective measure for shittiness, but in terms of the bleakness of public perception of the world I feel more confident in making a comment: forty years ago, The Day After had just aired.
Watching how the USA has abandoned its ally, Ukraine and just let innocent people and brave soldiers die, Japan would be crazy not too start gaining back their independence.

Not sure what happened to the USA but I never thought I’d see it side with autocratic war criminals. Quite concerning for all our allies.

If the orange man wins again this year, we’ll god help everyone.
I’m somewhere in the middle on this. These communities are real, and the value of the content shared by users is real.

On the one hand, I prefer the old open web. On the other, I can’t deny the existence and value of these walled gardens. The wall doesn’t erase the value, even if I strongly prefer there wasn’t a wall to begin with.

To your point, discord comes with downsides, and does raise questions about the longevity of the content. Most of the old web disappeared too.

I think that in order to have any hope of returning to something more open and public on a wider scale, it’s necessary to understand why these communities are thriving on discord. I don’t have the answer to that question, but I suspect that the wall is actually a benefit to some.

Vaguely sensible initial setup (doable from a template or script) and automatic updates (enable these from a script) solves like 99% of this problem.
I was out a lot anyway - lunch with work, dinner with friends, weekend catchups with family and so on. When you live alone, you need to leave the house to socialise. I was only home for meals a few times a week. And I didn’t want salad every time I made food for myself.

So yeah, usually I’d buy salad ingredients, make one salad (or veggie sandwich or something). Then a week later I would take a look in the fridge and notice my ingredients had gone bad. I did this several times before I gave up.
> "Did we offer coverage that helped them understand — even if just a bit better — those neighbors with whom they share little in common?"

I find the person leading the coverage “solution” has the same emblematic word choice issues as the organization as a whole. I love NPR and the local public affiliates but they cannot see their own failings.

Are there any two people, anywhere in this world that truly “share little in common”?
I can't imagine so many people paying off employees for SIM swaps only to get involved in a very complicated digital bank robbery. Maybe it'd happen once or twice.
They might complain, because that is what ISPs do, but they won't necessarily be that bad off. Popular content can be mostly circulated within their own network, saving peering bandwidth. This will be somewhat offset by less popular content that generates a bit extra outgoing traffic. The scale of YouTube would make the advantage much more pronounced than it has ever been for torrents.

The same economic systems you praise resulted mass starvations due famine killing millions in the process of trying to raise them out of poverty, (see the great leap forwards). Whats really lifting them out of poverty is the west exporting manufacturing to China. its not socialism pulling China out of poverty its mercantilism. As western cash is exchanged for Chinese products, its no surprise then that as poverty has waned in China is has been waxing in the west?
Yes. Most RDBMS are memory-bound (indexes, connection overhead, buffer pool…), so the more, the better.

At my last job, I switched a large-ish (100K QPS at peak) m5 MySQL instance to a smaller (in AWS numbering) r6i that was cheaper, despite having the same amount of RAM and being generation newer. That, combined with careful tuning and testing, resulted in queries speeding up 20-40%, AND we then had plenty of room for vertical scaling again if necessary.

Here's a link with all the images. I remember the details that I forgot and now rediscover again lol. There's another article relating to Otto Hahn or something as well as Lise Meitner. The calculations are of alpha-whatnow, page where they were laid also photographed. Also more photos of intro and content outline.
Other than scanning the whole book that's all the insider info I got lol. So what's cool is that it is literally a book by the mentioned nobel laureate. Last article from the nineties, I guess the book has been stored since then. And for some reason this main thread is still being treated like persona non grata due to a bad initial condition.

The Justice Department is preparing to sue Live Nation

Interesting!

The specific claims the department would allege couldn’t be learned.

Hmm... maybe let's wait until we see what the claims are.
If the tickets were sold as marketable (it sounds like they were) but were not in fact marketable, that's a problem.

If they were sold as marketable pending function(situation) with the implication that function(situation) was not simply "return false" but it turns out that function(situation) was actually "return false," that too is a problem.
No, it was tested with games and stuff, having wealth reduce cooperative behaviors https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01973533.2018.14...

It should be noted that wealth is a proxy for status and for power, so it might not be wealth itself that reinforce sociopathic/anti-cooperative behaviors, but status or power, but it is hard to dissociate.
The title seems to not include that this is about 5G. The next question then is how many gamers really use mobile broadband in the US? Ericsson making the claim that people are willing to pay more for low latency might be the case in the Nordics where uncapped mobile broadband starts from 3 euros/m and fiber is not always available.
I imagine at least part of it is age and aversion to change/new technology.
German transport minister warns of weekend driving ban
Gotcha. I've just never been to any of those in the last 10 or 15 years, so I'm ignorant of those systems and what they do.

Regardless, my main point still stands. Just because this stuff exists in some places doesn't mean we should accept more of it.
While the considerations that this act addresses are real, strategically, the act looks so stupid, ineffective, and contrary to market forces, and the sponsors so obscure, that it is suspect.
Objective outsider view, NPR is guilty as charged. How can NPR ever repair trust in their reporting with this over their head?

NPR can't fix itself because any time they get someone that shows promise at being a stand-up reporter, they leave for a better gig.

Case in point: Joshua Johnson[0] who used to run the The1A. The show was incredible while he was there. MSNBC picked him up and now it's daily partisan propaganda.

I think they are referring to the ability to resell your ticket.

In the airline model, your ticket is tied to your identity. If you don't want to use it, you get a refund instead of selling it.

You can also choose a ticketing agent instead of being forced to use just a single outlet.

In the concert model, you (or a complex entity) buys as many tickets as you can get your hands on from the only seller, and if you don't plan on using the tickets sell them for multiples of what you paid via a shady network of reselling.
Yes, I think they have leveraged their power to keep the situation in their favor and not let a competitor come up. I don't really see a reason we couldn't have 4-5 ticketmaster type companies that still do some of the BS stuff we all hate. The whole thing where Ticketmaster will refuse other artists if your venue doesn't use them is very monopolistic.
High prices and high profit margin are not in and of themselves anti-consumer, otherwise every luxury brand would be considered anti-consumer. If people will buy the tickets at the prices marked, why should they lower them? If they push prices high enough that the demand curve starts to dip, they will rationally correct for that.

The only anti-consumer force at play is the monopoly power Live Nation is granted to dictate the price of tickets. There's very little that can be done via boycott when it comes to monopolies.
Not stepping in is exactly what is going to cause a world war.
> taking the brunt of Amazon's binning practices

Amazon has a lot of flaws, but I've never once had an issue returning an item for a full refund. I'm sure chargebacks are up in recent years, but I'm not sure it's Amazon that's to blame.
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.

If they are breaking the law, the government should throw the book at them and yea they should have done it long ago, but also people should stop giving money to a company they hate, regardless of whether they are a monopoly.
