While future IoT devices are a privacy (and security) nightmare, we can take simple steps to leave a smaller digital footprint when using the web: use private browser windows more often, use a separate web browser for Google and Facebook services, use a separate browser with privacy tools for the rest of your web browsing.

This helps somewhat and is no real effort.

I find Google to useful when travelling so I use gmail for making travel reservations so Google Now knows what I am doing. So, a few times a year I let myself be tracked for convenience. Otherwise I like private email, Private calendar, etc.

I don't think privacy has to all or nothing deal. Just make choices you are comfortable with.

Perhaps it is because the fundamental nature of "finance" as a social conception is inherently centralized.

So any purposefully decentralized/distributed system used for financial (centralized) purposes becomes corrupted by default.

Recursive-descent parsing is executing a logic program, so couldn't you prevent backtracking by adding a `cut` operator? That's essentially what LL(1) parsing gives you: an implicit `cut` after successfully selecting a branch.

This is an interesting point. I used to have one of these blue collar jobs (several actually), and you're pretty spot on. In addition to the disdain for this kind of work, there seems to have also been a shift to an idea of wanting to derive fulfillment from work. That seems obviously good, but my experience, working in a factory was in some ways more fulfilling. The work itself was not terribly demanding, and so I could do a good job while not tying up much of my mental resources. This left my mind free to wander, and I would write stories, review music theory, and otherwise ponder life's mysteries while performing my various functions. Then, when I got home I was well equipped with ideas and still had plenty of energy to dedicate towards my more intellectually demanding hobbies.

I'm not saying it was heaven on earth or anything, but it offered a certain satisfying simplicity, and made self-actualization easier outside of work. Nowadays, I get home and struggle to find mental energy for side projects or writing. The work is better, and I'm wealthier, but I'm not sure that my life is richer.
I don't think it's a racial thing, I think it's more about preventing damage to your property by going with the ones who are least likely to damage. For example, the types of foods and spices a certain culture cooks with can cause a dwelling to smell for days (just like smoking), and so will cause a problem with future tenants. Certain cultures are known for having lots of kids and not raising them to be quiet or disciplined, that can cause problems for neighbors. And then of course, certain cultures just have less respect for others and their belongings, and due to the environment they're from, have a sense of "take whatever you can get because you might not get a chance later".

Then you have the ideal guest, business guests who you wouldn't even know they're staying or no, don't waste your time haggling about price, are much cleaner than others and yield much more profit.

It's just not the same as selling widgets and discriminating against someone for no reason.

As of a year or two ago, Garmin wouldn't accept email addresses with "+" signs in them when registering for some (but not all) of their services. I think they would let you register for the main Garmin Connect service, but not for their support forum or something. Leading to a nice situation where you couldn't get technical support via the forum for the same account you had created on Connect.

Interestingly, though, the support email address they had hanging around at the bottom of the login page actually routed to an engineer (somewhere), which was nice, although they did claim repeatedly that the "+" character wasn't valid in an email address, which is of course not true. I was floored just to get a response from my complaint, though, even though it didn't seem likely to lead to them fixing the problem.

One thing I didn't see is AB&B promoting its business model to affected classes of people. Get more affected classes of people on your platform (i.e. as hosts) and have them lead the way.
> all I've ever seen as proof that "truffle oil does not contain truffles" is the bald assertion, without any other evidence.

It's not even possible to make commercial truffle oil with real truffles, because the flavor doesn't last longer than a day or two. You could theoretically make it in your house and then use it immediately, but there wouldn't really be any point.
Ok. They can grow truffles on a farm. In fact it was really big before the world war. However it killed the price and after the war everyone had a gentleman a agreement not to do it again.
I have a few of them in our house, and like you said, they're just quietly working away. A couple of them are serving as motion-sensing security cameras, complete with email alerts. I just commented yesterday actually to someone about how I've not had to do a thing to them in well over a year. Their uptime might be over 2 years had I attached a battery backup to them.
I never worked remotely but I don't think it's hard and I want to do it in near future. The way to do that is to find a company that is open for new ideas. Start working on full time office job and after month or two if your job position allows for that, ask for day or two in a week of remote work. This will allow you and the company to test that solution and check it it's working for both of you.
This is definitely true, but I spend too much time on HN and living in Austin and it definitely affects my views on my peers.
11e and x131e are available as windows and chromebooks. I think the chromebook version has an AMD cpu and a smaller battery

These are definitely not the best laptops Lenovo has designed. Pretty much the bulkiest 11" laptop you can buy with the worst display, the worst keyboard I have ever touched and the crappy battery life and the fan noise are legendary...

But in the end, both were better than anything I had when I grove up. So yeah, basically "kids today..."
What do you feel Airbnb should have done about it?

I haven't tried to use it before, so I'm not sure about the process, however it seems to me that a homeowner is in no different of a position than a hotelier.

It would make sense that your price contains the cost of insurance, and that your own rules / t&c's govern the guests stay.

Surely the recourse is a civil case against the guest rather than against airbnb?

I doubt any hotel could sue booking.com for the actions of a guest
Yes, there is a `cut` operator, and it does exactly what you expect. It's heavily documented here http://www.lihaoyi.com/fastparse/#Cuts

Just because there's a `cut` operator doesn't mean people will use it though =P
They didn't say it tasted no different from olive oil, they said it was olive oil, with artificial flavoring added. Which is true. Tang is artificially flavored water. That doesn't mean it's no different from water.

To me, the only reason to create native versions is when there is a business case to do so. Nothing I see in the question, suggests that a business case for replacing working code.

A business case for rewriting working code from the ground up would require a very high probability of new features resulting in significant increases in revenue and a pessimistic view of successfully rewriting that includes the cost of finding and paying a professional developer from current cash reserves and the long term cost of retaining that developer to perform maintenance and upgrades.

Long term support is among the potential benefits of using a platform. An individual developer may love to build new apps and hate to maintain them after a year -- or maybe they get a regular job or found a startup.

Good luck.

Exactly where I was going to go. Economies are about allocation of finite resources (labor being one of those). If a company is so poorly ran that it can't determine the correct price it's willing to pay for labor through cost-benefit analysis, I'd rather it not exist. Politically, we have a thing for making it harder for bad companies to fail.
There was an episode of Cutthroat Kitchen where a contestant used truffle oil on a dish.

(I do agree that using truffle oil is a sign of an amateur chef)
Which is the same with pairing to an iPhone. I hit "pair" on the headset, click the headset name on the Bluetooth screen, the headset says "connected" and boom done.

The real hassle is in my car, which unfortunately this doesn't solve. Toyota's system isn't the best. I have to hit a button then say "pair audio". Wait no, it's "pair audio player". No... wait it's "pair bluetooth"... ah I'll get the manual. Okay, got the phrase right. Now I have to press the button again and say "confirm". Now it asks me what I want to call my audio player. That's fine. Hit button again and say "confirm". Now I have to decide if I'm pairing from the car or from the audio player? I have no idea what that means. From the car I guess? Hit button again and say confirm. Okay now it's searching... but my phone says pairing failed. Okay, now it's kicked me out and I get to start over again. Let's pair from the phone this time. Nope, that failed too. Let's pair from the car again? Hey it worked!

And in between every button press, there is an ear-splitting beep that can't be adjusted with the volume controls in the car. And even then, I can only store three phones in memory, and it remembered both of my failed attempts plus my wife's phone that I paired for her. So to try a third time, I have to remove one of them... so it asks "which audio player do you want to remove?" then it lists all of them... "Player 1: iPhone". "Player 2: iPhone". "Player 3: iPhone". Fantastic.

Most of the time I just use the USB cable, except when I updated to iOS 10 and it started saying Error: 5 randomly during a song.

Pairing a headset with a phone is the easiest thing in the world, and it happens to be the "problem" that Apple solved. But the real problem is pairing with dumb "smart" devices that unfortunately are everywhere.
> And people should be free to deny others staying at their place, for whatever reason.

They are. Once they turn it into a public accommodation - which Title II defines as "any inn, hotel, motel, or other establishment which provides lodging to transient guests" - they don't get to do that any more.

Don't want to let black people stay in your house? Don't put it on AirBnB.
Well, I'm not going to force you, so feel free to abstain. Personally I like listening to all kinds of people and in different contexts. I found it interesting, and was recommending it to someone else who seemed to be in the same boat.
There are many places in the US where making $35,000/year would make you rich, or at least well-off and comfortable. Many of them don't want to live in metropolitan areas and are completely happy.
I read all three articles but I can't find where anyone claims that 16 hours of fasting are as beneficial as 3 days from the perspective of rebooting the immune system.

Agreed, them providing .debs is far from "packaging being a mess". I'm quite happy that they provided .debs, worked with them to make some changes to the debs via pull-requests, and after that have been super happy with the packaging. I grab and import their packages into my own private repo for historic reasons, but it does mean I have to chase upstream changes. Personally, I think this is a straw-man argument. With many places not even providing packages, I'm glad that the Influx folks went through that process for me.

This is interesting but personally I think this move is more about Apple being able to take more profit from its Beats brand and from any third party speaker maker that now has to license to work with iOS.

Of course I guess they can also sell "premium DRM" snake oil to recording companies now, because nobody can tap audio from hardware. That's totally impossible right?

Apple just loves to tax their ecosystem. They also have a huge fetish for eliminating connectors, plugs, etc. even when they are well past the point of diminishing returns there.

of course not. People with $500+ limit will automatically be charged for the $5000 in damages they caused. It's all about risk and accountability.
Yes, but it cannot detect which specific device is connected to the jack and act accordingly.
While true, when the jack was the main interface for earplugs, it would've been unthinkable for the os to refuse routing audio there.

Now that lightning is default and the adapter is an extra legacy, it's much more "reasonable" (in heavy quotes) to just pop up a dialog with "this accessory is not compatible with the media file"

> Seems everyone has opinions on packaging and you know what it's like when everyone has opinions, right? :)

Don't try to push this into opinion realm, because it's not, it's a standards
realm. Your package doesn't stand lintian test, and it's not
a doesn't-really-matter type of errors that there's no README or license file.
You don't even put an initscript in packages in a proper way.

It wouldn't matter that much, but your build system doesn't have an easy,
clean build from local source tree with a method of putting files in right
places in $DESTDIR, so the software could be properly debianized (or
equivalent) by somebody else.
Correct me if I am wrong but how is this different than the dual camera on my HTC M8? Is this revolutionary because it is Apple?
More than once I've solved the problem by the time I am 80% of the way through formulating a question. As long as it's not something trivial I finish and post the answer immediately.
Is it a lack of attention? I don't think a virus in a collection of leaked emails is a major threat since you'd be a fool to execute it. On the other hand, it might be useful for researchers if the virus was written to specifically target somebody.
I wonder whether these 17th-century strains of bacteria, if they survived and infected someone today, would have less resistance to modern antibiotics than modern strains do. That would make them much easier to manage.

You're right. For anyone interested here is the relevant post: http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/57682/297429
I'm pretty sure your new personal rule-of-thumb isn't discrimination.
Is it going to help them make better computers?
Not true. The os switches off the analog jack when the internal speaker is used or when sound is routed to a Bluetooth headphone or speaker. Clearly the OS can deny an analog jack.
There's a lot of potential for anti-competitive practice here -- for example, Apple could theoretically prevent the Spotify app from transmitting audio over Bluetooth or Lightning, forcing users into the Apple Music ecosystem.
It matters because the jack is no longer the default output device that customers expect to always work.
That was my thought here as well. It's one thing to have very public businesses with anti-discrimination rules, but something like Air BnB where people have to decide in most cases who they are going to let into their homes is a much more complicated problem.

We're seeing a wide trend in the US where people want rules to prevent people from making choices that they don't agree with, which was basically the opposite of the point of the US.

What if a host wanted to turn away somebody who was an avid white supremacist? This isn't the same thing as giving somebody a key to a hotel room.

EDIT: Worth pointing to another comment that cites the law: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12453577

> Those anti-discrimination laws don't apply to hosts' private homes or bedrooms.[1] Paraphrase of law: "All persons shall be entitled ..., and accommodations of any place of public accommodation,..., without discrimination ... other than ... a building which contains not more than five rooms for rent ... which is actually occupied by the proprietor ... as his residence"
Yes it can. I can use the mixer now to mute only the analog output while the digital output (eg. HDMI) continues to play.

I understand the argument that forcing content through a proprietary jack opens the door for controlling said content and has huge implications for hardware manufacturers and the way people use their stuff.

What I am having a hard time understanding is why is that any different than the OS influencing what gets sent to the 3.5mm jack? It isn't like apps running in iOS had to interact with APIs to do all the other things (e.g. camera) but not the jack. Is it?

In that case, I'd rather not have the site gather my email address at all. Just create an account with an arbitrary name (or no account at all) and let the user use the web site.

But I can see how there may be other concerns (commercial or not) that interfere with this.

I've been using InfluxDB for almost a year now. At one point around 9 months ago I had given up on it because it was a bit crashy, and the database just was growing too fast. But the promise behind it was too compelling and I started experimenting with newer versions around 6 months ago and it has been just great! Much easier to deal with than Graphite/collectd/carbon, telegraf has not been eating our servers like collectd was, CPU usage is way down... Loving InfluxDB. Still need to implement annotations and SNMP polling in telegraf, but it is awesome. We are even pushing some application stats into it.
