@qlquanle @alz_zyd_ Springsteen prefers "fair" (low) initial prices to keep fans happy, and TM / AXS / etc encourage people to resell tickets on their platforms, actually taking a cut of every transaction of the same ticket, so they stand to gain from scalpers currently IMO.

@alz_zyd_ I totally buy this for restaurants/NFTs but i'm still struggling to see this for the swift/mccartney/springsteen of the world. The value of those shows (I'd guess) is more from the music and so record sales than social effects. Or maybe people really don't care about the music

@MichelaTincani Not an "app" per se, but in 2021 I developed a chatbot that talked via WhatsApp. Hired a team that included two devs (front & back), plus QA. It cost me almost 10k for the equivalent of five combined weeks of work. So on average I paid ~50 USD per hour. These were Chilean devs.

#econtwitter Help! How much do you think it costs to hire a software engineer to develop an app? Ballpark.

@Cucho Yup. I love books and the "meta" surrounding them. Sure, if it's a long, dry list of names I'll skip it. However, more often than not acknowledgements tell a short story of the people involved in the creation of the book that I'm about to read, and I enjoy that.

@usopen You guys shot yourself in the foot by not making it live. A random draw is not necessarily balanced, but now every dimwit here is going cry "rigged"—people don't understand random unless they see it. Also, @TennisPodcast said it best: why not make a spectacle out of it?

@jmgmoron La gente busca explicaciones y conspiraciones para todo. "Aleatorio" no implica "parejo". Se tiró el dado y ya. Estoy contigo que debería hacerse público el sorteo, por (percepción) de transparencia, pero más porque es emocionante para los que seguimos el deporte de cerca

Estoy recibiendo comentarios de gente con “la mosca detrás de la oreja”, sospechando de ciertas cosas en el sorteo de hoy en el #USOpen. Comprendo las dudas, pero quiero creer en la honestidad de un torneo así y que, pese a haberse hecho a puerta cerrada, habrá contado con un notario (imagino). Eso sí, esto tiene fácil solución. Se evita toda sospecha mostrando a los ojos de todos el sorteo sacando bolitas de un recipiente. Transparencia y nadie dudará. Ojalá para 2024 lo cambien.

What is "the right way" to install Python on a new M2 MacBook? I assume it isn't the system Python3 right? Maybe Homebrew?

@rolandgarros @NicoJarry Jarry had an amazing run and achieved a career high ranking of 28. Didn't play his best tennis today against Ruud, but I feel it's only going to be upwards and onwards for Nico now!

@TennisPodcast "Don't underestimate form": Jarry just won Geneva with b2b wins over Dimitrov, Zverev and Ruud, and he's had a good first half of the year on clay. Now that bottom half is looking wide open, and QF wouldn't surprise me with the level his displaying now.

@seema_econ - easier to do simultaneous editing - faster to compile a single section than entire paper - replacing terms is easy with a text editor that can search/replace across project files; same for moving text - comparing lang is always necessary, separate files or not - better for git

TIL that youngsters use separate tex files for the different sections of their paper. I'm skeptical. Why is that system better?

Alguien ha armado un panel a nivel de manzana con los censos en Chile? Al menos entre 2002 y 2017. Los datos que tengo parecen no tener los mismos manzana_id en cada censo. Academic Twitter Chile por favor RT!
