According to the information I got when I was hosting, Airbnb does punish hosts who reject a lot of guests by pushing the listing down in search results. The idea is that they want to show listings that are likely to convert to a match. Granted this might not help much if people of color only inquire occasionally, and everyone else is accepted

There's a reason the locations are trending towards being hosted in corrupt places where the leaders don't care if they're profitable so long as they get their piece.
Gold open access needs to die, and "open access fees" with it.

Seriously, there is no STEM field I know of where you can't find good journals that allow posting of preprints.

Green open access solves all the problems at zero additional cost.
A Linux/UNIX ABI is probably the minimum cost of entry for an OS to participate in this idea, at least in the short-term, since everything for the server is currently built primarily for Linux.
Would you use Grunt for new projects? Maven is still being actively used.
Airbnb has insurance and acts as an escrow for this very purpose. This is what part of their fee is for.

I also rent my home out on VRBO, a competing platform. It is very similar to Airbnb.

This is a transaction based on trust. Random people cannot stay at my house. They need reviews and need to be properly vetted.

College guys looking to party can go to a hotel instead.

Aren't we all supposed to dream about unikernels moving forward anyway?

If I'm just using a library operating system that is linked directly into a single unikernel that merges the application code and system code, then I don't really care if I'm running on a hypervisor, on bare metal, or a host operating system. I'm only using a few system capabilities, and I'm not really taking advantage of other services running on the OS.

So I don't really care if the host OS is Linux, or Plan 9, or BSD. It just has to be UNIX-y enough to host a VM for my unikernel.

> Due to some accounts having two passwords, there are 427,484,128 total passwords for only 360 million users. Additionally, the accounts with password "homelesspa" seem to be automatically generated as all the emails that use this password follow the same format. We also suspect given the number of passwords with a 1 at the end, MySpace required numbers and letters at some point.
Plan9 uses a different dialect of C written by Ritchie (his last compiler) than most of today's software. Also, the standard library and programming model are quite substantially different than the ANSI C model. There is something on Plan9 called APE (ANSI Posix Environment), which is kind of like WINE (an emulation layer, not an emulator or compatible ABI), for porting ANSI C apps, but it's built with a rather old version of GCC and is far from complete.

Meaning, most software won't run on Plan9 without major modifications, so bringing a modern GCC/CLANG would give access to better compilation, but really there needs to be more work on APE to get more software over (lots of low hanging fruit there from what I've seen).

Unrelated to the story, the title currently ends with `(co.zw)` as the website. This is actually a valid ccTLD for Zimbabwe, not a 'short' domain released in the past few years.

Is it straightforward enough to change the HN software to detect Zim domains correctly?
For me it seemed to correlate directly with the birth of my son. My theory is that his birth, the emotions of it, the sleep deprivation, and the neuro-chemical onslaught that most likely happened during that same time (it was easily the most emotional period of my life), have fundamentally rewired my brain to be more emotionally reactive (my wife would balk if I used the term "sensitive").

It's a good thing.
Facebook Will Now Track You and Force Feed You Ads Even If You Don't Use It
I was speaking in general, you probably won't be getting that explanation until enough people post a bug about it on Red Hat's bugzilla.

Yes, good point. But if you did have a type constraint, like C#, you would still need the runtime type info to know what to create. This is legal in C#:

"Correlated"? Statistically?

"Under the terms of the partnership, the City will own the network, and Cruzio will act as the developer during engineering and construction and as the operator when the network is complete. Financing for the development of the network will be through City-backed municipal revenue bonds, repaid through the revenue from the sale of network services (and not by the taxpayers). The project will be financially self-sustaining and 100% of the profit generated will stay in the City of Santa Cruz."

I think this is a really good move. About bloody time to. I shouldn't have to pay twice to read research papers I helped fund and I certainly shouldn't be paying a private company for it.

EU is saying that when and if you choose to publish papers based on publicly funded research you must ensure those papers will be publicly available. This means you must budget for any cost associated with it but since your budget are public funds it's basically going to be paid for by the EU in most cases.

The "when and if" means that you can choose not to publish or you can choose to publish after you have sought protection (patent). You can also, as a publisher, have a wait period before research papers become "open access" to, I don't know, be an asshole I guess.

> the baseline equivalence between products is nonsensical to start with.

That's exactly my point. Nonetheless, traditional econometric analyses do exactly that, arbitrarily creating multipliers (hedonic adjustments, e.g.) which normatively make assignments as to what a consumer "should" value in a product. These assignments often throw out important considerations, merely because they're 'difficult to calculate'.

I don't see why I would pay 35% of my holdings to avoid having to pay 3%.

Also your plan is impossible because it's not Apple or Facebook or Google the US listed entities that own this money, it's independent country specific subsidiaries. The US Gov't has no territorial claim on their asset reserves. The fact that the big companies report the money as their own is a GAAP sleight of hand that everyone knows already understands both sides of in the marketplace.

There is a small penalty of sorts. I booked an instant book Airbnb once where the host didn't like the length of my stay, and told me to cancel it. I told her to deal with it and Airbnb support ended up cancelling it for me. The dates of my stay were unavailable for others to book and an automated review was left on the listing saying that the host cancelled. I think it's a bummer I couldn't say what happened in that review though :(

Also to +1 the general topic from my (female) Asian perspective which is typically considered rather non-threatening, I have a pretty vanilla photo and I always bring up "nice" things when inquiring about airbnbs, if there are no instant book options. The profiling adds up to a serious load of crap especially when you get to a/b test a bit by asking someone else to also inquire about the place.

I think it's far more likely that they've maintained their position through first-mover advantage than anything else. Steam is a website wrapped in an application that was built before building applications out of websites was cool, and it shows -- what you get is an outdated version of WebKit and a video player that somehow manages to be worse than the one Polygon uses, and Steam doesn't even have "monetization" as an excuse there. They've largely abandoned curation, Early Access and Greenlight are a steady stream of horror stories... there's a large list of things wrong with Steam that nobody at Valve seems to even care about fixing.

> The person who's going to be unethical and sabotage others is going to do so regardless of whether stack-ranking is involved.

The trick is not to think about people as purely ethical or unethical. Imagine, if you would be willing to tell a small child, right before an arithmetic exam, 1 + 1 = 3 for $10 billion. Will you do it ? The harm is probably very low ( someone is probably going to correct the child anyway ) but you get to make $10 billion. Clearly the good it does to you far outweighs the bad it does to the child. You may not be evil in this case, and different people have different thresholds for it. There is no one so ethical that they would never lie to a child at any price. This premium increases with higher and higher crimes. Also the premium decreses the more desperate you are.

People with higher premiums for same level of desperation are better than others.

Stack ranking incentivizes people to stab each other in the back. Some people will take the incentive. It does not necessarily mean they are unethical.
> "Billions of dollars spent with a moving olympics and all the infrastructure ends up not being used for pretty much anything ever again."

I disagree. Most of the stadiums built for olympics are bringing kids to sports and introducing them to sport activities that nobody even heard before. And every national championship is held at those venues for many years after olympics.

In fairness, we pay twice for many things, such a toll roads. The first payment isn't always sufficient.
Rio can be a bad place. When I went to Rio for the world Cup, my taxi driver from the airport told me that at night we would not stop at red lights for fear of being robbed. The ticket he would get would be less money would be less than the money he made that night.

That being said, I stayed on the boardwalk of copacabana Beach at a hotel and there was never a problem day or night. If you stay in the tourist sections, the post guards and the area is very safe

Crying is a normal part of healthy adulthood. Not bawling your eyes out screaming like a toddler crying, but shedding a tear or a few during an emotional moment. The defining characteristic of modern society is how it shames you for betraying your authentic feelings.
Some people are saying "but I should get to decide who stays in my house" or "but I want to see their picture first so I can evaluate him." Ok, I'm fine with that. A house is not a public accommodation like a hotel. So label the host as a racist.
San Francisco's Increasing Dominance Over U.S. Innovation
Alibaba has a feature where they list the response rate of sellers to queries sent via the site. This could be an angle for AirBnB. Log rejections and acceptances and ignores. Run reports on the data for a scorecard. Egregious violators can dealt with then in a number of different ways i.e warning notices, lower search rankings, burning cross badge beside username etc.
Been working on VR side projects for 3 years now, I've built against the DK1, DK2, CV1 and the Vive and I have to say there's zero question in my mind that Oculus is FAR behind the curve. The Vive was love at first sight, the Oculus was quite the opposite.

The Vive is stunning, not only because room-scale VR is fantastic. (I don't share the opinion that the future rests solely with room scale, there's plenty of stuff to do in VR sitting down) but also because Valve just seems to have it together more than Oculus. The Lighthouse system is brilliant, it's a much more elegant solution than what Oculus has. The Oculus platform is gross, I don't see any advantages to using it from the consumer side, as far as I can tell it only exists to lock people into a particular ecosystem.

I understand why they did it, similarly to Origin or the Epic Games Launcher, but seriously? Steam won. I find it incredibly frustrating having to futz around with other platforms. Do they seriously think that I'm going to add all my Steam friends on the Oculus platform? That's ridiculous. I'm very doubtful that the platforms will get a userbase outside of the people who are FORCED to use them because they want a particular exclusive.

To top it all off it takes 3 USB ports to run the Oculus (4 if you want the controllers) vs the Vive's one.
I think you missed the point of my #3. This is like the underpants gnomes in South Park:
Step 1: Tax-free repatriation
Step 2: ????
Step 3: Economic pizza party

What is step 2 here? Is there any actual evidence that repatriated funds would go back to productive things in the US economy? When we had a tax holiday in 2004, it was a complete failure for jobs and development [1], and only helped shareholders and executives. Is that really what we want? For that matter, is there even a guarantee that companies would distribute all the money back to shareholders in a way that would lead to personal income tax?

Your argument that the money is not being spent overseas implies lack of confidence in other economies is exactly what I'm saying - there is no productive use of those funds available, or else the holders would already be spending it. I would personally much rather some portion of that money go back to the government for expenditure directly on public projects than have all of it go who knows where when it gets repatriated.

I and may other people opposed to tax-free repatriation are perfectly aware of the economics and simply disagree with you on desired outcomes. My opinion is that if you don't want to pay US taxes, don't do business in the US. If you want the benefits of the US labor force, infrastructure, education, legal and military protection, etc. then you should be willing to pay taxes to enjoy those benefits. What other countries do or do not do is irrelevant, as are the desires of necessarily selfish investors. I also disagree that tax-free repatriation is the only long-term solution available - it's just the one you personally like the most. For example, there's nothing stopping Congress from enacting laws to tax stockpiled funds.

Let me clarify my position. Whatever can be downloaded programmatically will be downloaded programatically. You can either put "Don't" in your "Terms and conditions" (which in most countries in the world and for most internet users translates to "Pretty please") or be honest with yourself and your users that your site, whether you want it or not, is an API and build it like a good API. Side effect of acknowledging that might be that you actually will put in place some throttling mechanisms that will prevent guy with just a handful of machines from downloading the data of 2.8 million users in reasonable time: http://yakamo.org/?p=112
I do. A group of college guys cannot stay at my house. A group of girls could if they convinced us that they weren't going to party and trash the place.

When we first started renting it out we did have a bunch of girls throw a party and there was some damage. They lied about their intention to have a party.

The neighbor has been mad at us ever since.

Discriminate? Absolutely! No one can force me otherwise.

You have to trust the guest not to trash your house. Its very subjective. Rejecting someone means I lose money but its worth the risk.

And AirBnB can decide who gets to use their service.
I posted the article. I think the second point is most worrisome. Most visitors to Rio are either:

1. From Latin America, where Zika already is, or
2. From US/Europe, where Zika can't go.

The olmypics will bring a delegation from every country + tourists from more of those countries. So Zika can spread to other regions. And once it spreads anywhere in a large region it will likely spread everywhere.
this is why the whole business model of airbnb is flawed, their whole business model consists of doging regulations, quality and safety standards, and fair treatment requirements that any usual business is subject to. Same applies to uber.

I really wish that Google had bought Sun instead of Oracle. I worked at Sun up until 2007 and the feeling at Sun was very supportive of what Google was doing.

Oracle bought Sun's assets and they have every right to what they are doing. But a failed business effort to make additional fees is not, in my opinion, a risk to "free" software.
Shell's new Prelude FLNG vessel is even bigger [1], if you call that a ship. It's about five football fields in area IIRC. So still absolutely tiny compared to anything you could host the olympics on.

Fun story: I was talking to some Shell people a few years back, about the potential troubles with LNG sloshing in process equipment due to waves. I asked them, why not just make the ship big enough that waves don't affect it as much? They looked at me very strangely for a few seconds before explaining just how big it already is.
