AirBnB Clone – any stack
Hey,
Have you guys worked on something like AirBnB? With Listing, Booking, User management etc? Not exactly AirBnB clones, but can be something similar as well.

I'm looking for some open source projects from where I can see how things work.

Stack isn't a problem.

Thanks :)
If we understand the fiat money regime, Bernie's proposal is reasonable; that is, one does not need to get $18T from the taxation. The real constraints for any nation are real resources(labor, natural resources, for instance). What Bernie critics appeal to the limitations of financial resources('money').

The dominant economic thought in the states, the thought shared by both liberal and conservative economists, is called 'sound' finance: you can't finance a government unless you borrow or tax. There is an alternative thought, which is sounder than this 'sound' finance: it is Abba Lerner's functional finance. Modern Monetary theory (MMT) combines functional finance, with stock-flow consistent modelling pioneered by Old-school Kenynesian (not neo-Keynsian) Wynne Godley.

Read MMT to understand why Bernie's stance is reasonable. WSJ, NYT, WaPo, etc, all represent the sound finance school, sold by the elite and their cronies on the left and the right.
The Imperial volume units used in Britain are vaguely metric, and different from the US customary (i.e. Queen Anne) units. The Imperial gallon is the volume of 10 lb avoirdupois of water at s.t.p. The other similarity to French metric units is they replaced a number of different application-specific volume measures.

At about the same time as the Imperial unit reform Britain introduced the "florin" 2 shilling coin, 10 per pound, another vague attempt at decimalization.
You have to be careful which algorithm you run first though. If you use your crappy implementation first, it might compromise the security of the second round of encryption.

In the scope of software engineering I disagree.

For software, the rope is the engineering. Whenever I need to move fast in a production environment I make damm sure my software is as good as I can make it because I know something will come and bite me in the ass otherwise. I know patience and carefull design makes me fast in the long run. I've done projects in short span and they were successfull precisely because of the quality I put in the code, and aggressive application of YAGNI.

Note: good here means understandable and simple, not some god awful super-elegant object abstraction scheme.

It might seem people with cowboy coding skills do well but it's only an illusion - they have faced as many bugs but they just code around them or do a quick fix.

The result from the latter is unmaintainable spaghetti.
They would be living in my country, demand voting rights, then demand things that the original residents would never vote for, but will have to pay for anyway.

Why should I agree to change (from my POV: destroy) the society where I live?

Btw: I'm not US citizen. I'm European. You'll be hard pressed to find many people in Europe in current situation, who would agree with disbanding the borders.
But also make it prone to discovery as the guy at the end of the video that spin the hammer out without touching the handle.
If only it is possible. The only powerful enough model for reasoning that comes to my mind are bayesian networks, and those will suffer from the same problems as neural nets - nodes, edges and values may not be related to any meaningful symbolic content that would be useful to report. It again seems in line with human mind; we invent symbols to describe some groups of similar concepts, with borders being naturally fuzzy and fluid.

If the AI tells us: "I did it because #:G042 and #:G4285 belong to the same #:G3346 #:G4216, while #:G1556 and #:G48592 #:G4499 #:G22461 #:G48118", I don't think we'll have learned anything useful.

>> "Let's say you're running a great country with a great economy, Singapore. And, suddenly in a gesture of humanity, you open borders, and you have 5 million people stream in, maybe ten. How good is Singapore going to be as a destination with that kind of migratory assault on resources, infrastructure, culture, economy etc?"

Well some of the concerns you are raising here are offset by simple economics. As more people arrive, due to fixed supply of land and limited ability to import resources, prices of everything will gradually increase, up to a point where the next potential immigrant would no longer be interested in immigrating.

Curious how drivers learn about and learn how to use these new updates since I don't have one myself.
To me a big issue is the perception of the autonomous driving mode to other road users. How will other drivers and pedestrians know that this car is being driven automatically and treat it accordingly?

In the Bosch video[1] (also linked elsewhere on this thread), the system jumps out of autonomous mode at the first junction. The driver has to re-engage it. Drivers who are not closely monitoring the car situation might not realise what's going on and take 5-10 seconds to realise they need to re-engage autonomous mode or to take over fully.

Some following-drivers will get agitated by this, in the same way that some do with elderly or learner drivers and make silly impatient manoeuvres. If the state of the autonomous car is clearly communicated to other road users then they might be prepared to make allowances.

During this transition phase of mostly human drivers vs. autonomous drivers it will be these situations that frame people's perception of the merits of autonomous vehicles.

That and how the systems react to dangerous swerving or lane changing or conflict situations where collisions are impossible to avoid. The "Google system" or the "Tesla system" will be tested millions of times a day and face intense public scrutiny whereas human drivers are treated individually.

I agree with you here. Also, the example of "driverless elevator" is excellent; I'll be remembering it for consideration in further discussion about self-driving technologies. Thanks for bringing this up.

Also, wtf is with downvoting in both Tesla threads today? Especially 'sandworm101 is taking a heavy hit for bringing up reasonable counterpoints (with most I disagree, but it doesn't change they're reasonable).
Good point on air vs car accident rates.

By the way, I find that making a prediction causes me to net out the different aspects of an issue quickly, and snaps me out of the mode of enumerating pros and cons. That's why I asked.

I have bumped into this countless times - street names too small, I subconsciously pinch to zoom, street names get scaled accordingly and are still too small for me. The solution is simple - just move the i<Device> closer to my face - but it's thrown me a couple times. Not sure if this is a UX error or just me being daft.

Looks like we have partisans here, downmodding the "incorrect dissent". Not only this parent, but all dissenting comments.
Sarcasm is a lost art.
Basically, the less often the worse. If it's like once every 5 seconds it's fine. Once every 5 minutes, it's dangerous and annoying. Once every hour is a lethal idea.
Maybe it should be no-experience pilots then :)

But joking aside thats where these systems will eventually take us.
Not true because god... ok...

God said lots of crazy things without an explanation. This article though provides an interesting and entertaining historical context.
Yow, from their filing: "Transaction and advance losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015, increased by $13.9 million. We incurred a charge of approximately $5.7 million related to a fraud loss from a single seller in March 2015."

I bet March 2015 was not a fun month at Square.

I have used my MBP in a TwelveSouth BookArc with Apple BT keyboard and touchpad. MBP gets rather hot in spite of being in a ventilated position. You have to leave it plugged in for the MBP to work in closed-clamshell mode. Doing so I think I've cooked the battery. I'm only getting about an hour or so use when not plugged in. And the fan runs flat out.

I have since built a desktop with 2x24" screens, SSD+HD and using the BT keyboard and touchpad with it. The MBP is back being used on the road - still need to replace the battery.

In hindsight, I should have gone straight to building the desktop and using a ChromeBook on the road.

The Mac mini is nice, but think you get better value for money using a standard desktop. As many HNers have pointed out as far as bang for buck goes, laptops are expensive to buy and even more expensive to upgrade or repair.
Not sure what you mean by co-op here do you actually mean a worker coop?

Most ad agencys are not coops the only high profile ad agency coop is no longer a coop (the egos in an ad agency don't lend it self to a coop structure)
Have you ever ridden a horse? They're mad fun to ride. That's why there's a whole industry for racing and riding them.

But they're inconvenient for getting from point A to point B. Which is why they've been replaced by cars.

I suspect the same will happen with cars. I love my fast cars, but apart from that once a month weekend drive, I really don't get to flex its muscles.

I'd much rather relax in my car on my way to work every day. Then I could buy a more powerful car which I could take out to the race track on weekends.
I found it to be consistent with most similar pieces. Also, the author has won a Pulitzer for investigative journalism.

I think the danger is that semi-self-driving with occasional human intervention will be more dangerous than pure human driving. If the interventions are so rare that the average deaths/injuries fall below the current level, then of course we've made some progress. But hopefully by this time we'll be able to go full-auto. It's hard to imagine an extremely unexpected dangerous situation, in which giving control to human would be better than just making the algorithm try and recover.
When I'm on a highway, I like driving a little faster than the cars around me precisely for this reason. If I drive just 1 km/h faster, I need to switch lanes and overtake cars occasionally, which brings some action into the driving. And the funny thing is, I usually do it while using cruise control. So I think it's not about a technical challenge, it's about changing what is happening around you and having the need to be aware of the changes.
You can use double-tap zooming with the hand you're holding the smartphone with, im using it more often than pinch to zoom.
there are ops and there are ops... are you speaking to ops regarding managing the hardware itself, or ops re the applications you are running on the hardware? Cloud definitely doesn't remove the latter. Unless your company runs on just a database with no app code.

"Critical points were that Mrs. Walsh needed a new garage door opener..."

I'm surprised they only care about the electronic locks and didn't show how easy it is to pick most of the mechanical locks. Especially when they are talking about the "not hyperconnected" hacks.
While the robot can't see round blind corners in the manner a person could, visually processing it, we could require aircraft style transponders on all road vehicles, which would then allow your robotic car approaching a blind corner to know of there's anyone on the other side. It would also allow unambiguous communication as to how fast each vehicle is travelling, and their intentions - think in terms of the brake and indicator lights also being part of the transponder signal.
At this point it's a good idea to keep in mind the effort/gains ratio. You're proposing massive changes to JavaScript engines in order to have double tapping work a certain way. Changing the gesture or tweaking the delays might yield a less optimal solution, but the effort is so much closer to 0. If you were going to invest the effort you're proposing into something, would improving this delay be the best knowable use of that effort?
Yeah, I don't consider the phishing scams interesting at all. This seems like more of a marketing stunt than anything. And it's borderline not hacking.

They actually didn't even do the whole thing themselves. Instead hired a phishing service...

To me this is more similar to people dressed as UPS truck drivers going inside an apartment and stealing keys. Or a cashier taking a picture of a customer's credit card.

P.S. Excellent bot if it is a bot. It seems to be taking sides on an issue and not just summarizing, which I haven't seen happen previously with any other summary bots.

No fan of this bizarre Illuminati-backed startup, but this article reads like a well funded hedge fund hit piece. Maybe some players shorting OTC contracts on their stock? The biotech industry is heavily manipulated so if they're facing this kind of opposition, maybe it really does make sense to have guys like Henry Kissinger on the board ...
Yes, you're totally right. Even companies which are in theory very design-driven (Apple, obviously) have blatant inconsistencies and different standards in different products.

Still, it's a security warning in a high profile product which is used, for many, as the main Internet client. There's really no excuse for not being careful about color blindness.
Its difficult for one person to judge that. Some kind of bias creeps in when you read the article and see the summary again since your mind fills the gap automatically which is created by the summary.
> Cloud definitely doesn't remove the latter.

Many would disagree with you, and run their business as if that is the case.

I'm not saying they are right, I'm saying thats the reality of how a number of decision makers act.
Fake virus warnings also sucker a lot of older people. Putting them on Chromebooks kills a lot of birds with one stone.
At least in theory with proper communication channels between vehicles, vehicles could alter their speed just enough to make space for merging traffic or to allow a vehicle to turn. In that way nobody ever actually stops or starts, they just become slightly slower or slightly quicker, which should be much less jarring.
If you have a problem at cruising altitude, there's usually time to deal with it. Transport planes can glide 100-200 miles from that altitude if they have to. Most aircraft accidents happen during takeoff, approach, or landing. See NTSB reports.[1] High-altitude accidents are mostly in-flight fires, including two events involving lithium batteries.

There is, however, one commercial aircraft crash from problems at altitude (no passengers, ferry flight) worthy of a Darwin Award.[2]

I wonder if a "feet first" design would be once solution. The lower centre of gravity should be easier to stabilise. I don't know whether the riding style of an FF makes the same use of the rider shifting their weight as with a regular bike.
This is an arms race and it doesn't address the underlying cause.

The government of the people should not be spending $10B a year to monitor and track all of its people just to warehouse the data.

That is quite literally Stasi. Not vaguely like, exactly like.
IMO, this is what Thomas Jefferson's "periodic rebellion" looks like in the 21st century.
We can barely handle a binary law. Humans don't have enough cognitive power to have fuzzy laws. If cars in both a) and b) were self-driving, we could consider flexible traffic laws, because the cars would be accurately aware exactly how dangerous the situation is. Humans are not smart enough.

A 2D Breakout game tutorial (JS/Canvas only)
Pretty much: Odds are that, if you roll your own, you’ll make mistakes which make your code trivial to break for a motivated attacker that is willing to put the effort into targeting you personally.

It’s also quite possible that the NSA/GCHQ/5-Eyes will notice that your communications are 'interesting, because different' and mark them to be stored in perpetuity in case they ever do decide that you’re of interest so that they can go back and break it all then.

So, how lucky are you feeling?
A bit of game theory here. As a company, do you offer the entire team a job or just the best?
Do you actually want the source? It's similar to gnfs, but my implementation of my algorithm seems to be faster in c, under probably gcc 2.95 when compared to a reference gnfs i had found online ... enough times to be significant (but a result of "faster on my computer" doesn't really lead to any kind of "breaking news"). It could just be due to an ineffecient implementation.

I'll have to look at some old cvs repos ... Hopefully I can find it. I'll put it on guthub if i can.

I worked a good 6 months on it and I understand the gravity of the claim. I have no interest in being bogus or fraudulent.
> You'll be hard pressed to find many people in Europe in current situation, who would agree with disbanding the borders.

A significant part of the political arm (ie. those who aren't just helping because there are humans in need but have an agenda that transcends any concrete situation) of the "refugees welcome" movement start out from the "human right on free movement" that was mentioned here, and effectively want borders not to exist.
Similarly for their US counterparts. The astronauts were stressed in training far beyond what they'd ever encounter in real space flight. It is a miracle that there weren't more injuries or fatalities in the space program.

But in the Mercury/Vostok era, astronauts were more test subjects than they were pilots. There was very little to gain except for publicity from sending humans to space. The scientific goals could have been accomplished with animal test subjects. The role of astronauts became more involved later in the Gemini/Apollo/Soyuz era with rendez-vous, docking and EVA operations.

That's not an interesting market because it is tiny and will get relatively smaller going forward.

There are 2, maybe 3 interesting markets that will come to dominate computing even more than they already do in the next few years:

Responsive is good, however dictatorial coding isn't. No reason responsive ought not be user friendly as well. The problem is that many devs seem to thing that they know best for their users. However a larger number don't actually understand that their vision of how a web page should operate isn't necessarily how a web page should operate. Too many cooks trying to be chefs. I admit that I don't have an expert grasp on the nuances of great front end either-- that's why I do my best to stay out of the front end as much as possible!

Can someone explain to me what the authors mean by "cracking" a prime? Is the difficulty of this related to the difficulty factoring a composite number? The language used is annoyingly imprecise.

No, you're wrong. The meta tag is a problem. No matter how subjectively 'good' a design is, it should still not be up to the designer to decide to break a fundamental UX paradigm of my device, nor to decide what size of text I should be able to read.

Even if you don't get open borders, the fact that we have all these treaties which force free flow of capital across but do nothing to allow easier flow of labor across borders is a huge problem. It allows nations with crappy social and political systems to undermine labor welfare and protection policies in better political systems without facing repercussions for it. Unsurprisingly, the asymmetric flows of capital and labor forced by trade agreements play right into the hands of benefitting capital owners across the world at the expense of ordinary workers.

I don't believe completely open borders are necessary or even possible, but every trade agreement that forces free flow of capital (and prevents duties on imports, etc) needs to come with equivalent labor protections as well (massively increased flow of people across borders, and not in a "you're a second class resident who can be deported at your employer's whim" way, or alternatively, removing import duties only as long as laborer a on both sides of the border receive equal labor protections of the law. So if country A offers a minimum wage, it is allowed to impose duties as long as the wages being offered to the workers in country B is less than the cost of living adjusted equivalent salary in that country. )
