> The extra verbiage about a "broker/agent" is more of a secondary definition

No, its not. Its an express limitation on the applicability of the homeowner exception, and applies to any use of any rental (or sale) services of a broker, agent, or person in the business of renting (or selling) real estate in support of a discriminatory rental, after December 31, 1969.

Its only legal (since 1970) under the federal fair housing act to discriminate, even as a homeowner renting their own home, if the rental is arranged without the use of some commercial rental-arrangement service.

(And even them it may be illegal under state fair housing laws.)

> The homeowner's use of Airbnb is more analogous to listing in the "newspaper classifieds" rather than contracting a human broker.

That's certainly the argument a discriminating owner using AirBnB (or possible AirBnB themselves) would try to make, but AirBnB's financial and substantive involvement in the transaction is very different than that of a hands-off listing service like a newspaper classified section, so I don't think that argument would fly. If AirBnB actually acted like a newspaper classified service, that argument might be valid, but that's not what AirBnB does (if we were talking, instead, about Craigslist, that would be a good argument.)
That doesn't look to be Yahoo's Pulsar, but rather some analytics thing. Yahoo's documentation is on Github: https://github.com/yahoo/pulsar/blob/master/docs/GettingStar...

The documentation I've read suggests that it's very similar to Kafka (and I'll have you all know that I considered "Kafkaesque" there but I have some self-restraint).

edit: an acquaintance just suggested that maybe it's more related to Twitter's DistributedLog than Kafka: https://github.com/twitter/distributedlog
But that's not unique to the iPhone 7 or even to the iPhone. Literally any phone is going to need the screen on and ping the towers for GPS. Even if you're playing music over the headphone jack and charging from the USB port, you'll have the same issue. So what's the point?
Indicative of what?

Are you trying to say that a the docs should have "Python for X programmers" sections, foreach (no pun intended) X in {Perl, PHP, Haskell, Lisp, Go, Javascript, C++, ...}?

It's a huge deal for a linode customer. It's not like your site is DDoS'd and you can't access. You can't access anything on linode when their entire service is DDoS'd.

Part of the reason I think it's news is to shame linode. The likelihood of a DDoS attack bringing down the AWS management console is extremely low (has it ever happened?) Yet attackers have managed to do it multiple times on Linode.

What about the fact that Apple ships a Lighting-to-3.5mm-stereo-analog adapter in the box? As far as I can tell, there is no practical difference from the previous scenario, other than that you need to plug in the dongle to make analog recordings.

I agree with a lot of what EFF does, but in light of the adapter provided, they're blowing this issue way out of proportion.
> It advertises that the move helps make the phone more water-resistant.

Absolute, utter nonsense. I have a 3 year old Samsung Galaxy S4 Active that sports an open headphone jack and can be SUBMERGED in water without any problems.

I don't want to have any heavy batteries sitting over, on or in my ears. Let alone the trash DAC and amplifier that these bluetooth devices have.
This is purely speculative, but I think also that introducing new words, or novel combinations would have kept audiences' ears "on their toes" and tuned in to the dialog. The plays ran 2-3 hours. You have to keep the audience engaged.
Good to hear! I have a project coming up soon that I want to use it on.
We have a pool of numbers that changes size depending on demand, but we make sure to return them at the end of each billing period and buy new numbers. Between the providers we get numbers from, there is a very large quantity of numbers available.
> In other words, if a homeowner has a spare bedroom across the hall from her 13-year-old son's room, and doesn't want to rent to transgender, black, or 65-year-old guests, it is legal for her to discriminate on those attributes.

But its not legal to use a brokering service to arrange the rental if you discriminate, so there goes AirBnB for that use.

> And hey, it's also not surprising a bunch of email sent to powerful figures would have scumbags trying to infect their PC with malware in the process.

I doubt it was consciously sent to specific powerful figures. "Invoice attached" spam is just shotgunned to the world.

It would, not because he's Obama but because it's email. I see a lot of this in my spam folder, and I'm not important at all, I'm just a reachable address.
I'm not positive but I think that requires Apple to do that indefinitely (they won't) and/or to approve the third party lightning->aux adapters.
TL;DR: dependencies are a difficult problem.

When you use two distinct dependencies that subsequently have the same dependency but separate major releases, you may encounter breakage.

The author simply prefers Bower because of how it handles this problem differently than npm.
> That is a big sweeping statement to make.

It is, and it comes from having to deal with the results of so many people who work on many things but are masters of nothing.

> Instead, if you understand the core principles, how it operates, and a few nuances, you can usually figure anything out without much effort.

What worries me about those where that is an expectation is solutions are developed without in-depth knowledge, and that implies risk.

My most common example, is when experienced front-end developers without equivalent back-end storage experience start to design things like databases, and wind up with scaling and logical data corruption issues.

It takes more than core principal knowledge to develop solid systems. This is why every technical discipline other than software has specialists - engineering (non-software), medicine, education. Software is no easier, and given it evolves much faster specialization can be even more important.
Sure, but there is really no reason to publish the private key and make it trivial to decrypt all the traffic, right?
Acquiring languages isn't about going through books and studying—these are methods that adults can use to make use of the metalinguistic knowledge acquired from their native language. There's a pretty good popular-science book on the topic, Becoming Fluent: How Cognitive Science Can Help Adults Learn a Foreign Language, by Richard Roberts and Roger Kreuk (MIT Press, 2015). https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Fluent-Cognitive-Science-Lan...

People acquire languages, they don't study them. Study is just a way of speeding the process—with immersion you can gain a huge amount of passive knowledge of a language without any study or realizing you are doing so. Questions like "what books are you studying" or "how many hours did you do grammar drills" aren't very useful. I suspect that the typical high school foreign-language study is a sneaky way of enforcing the US as a society of Anglophone monolinguals. If the US wanted a multilingual population, they would permit dual-language immersion elementary schools, but those have only been popping up in the last decade or so.

How much time do you spend fumbling around in German without falling back on English? How often do you try to communicate with German monolinguals? Is your main problem comprehension or production? If you've been living in a German-speaking country for 5 years, your passive knowledge of German is probably better than you think. The heart of a language is in its words more than its grammar, but there are just a lot of them.
Also, "random" is often used colloquially to mean "arbitrary" which further muddies the waters for an uninformed reader.

Realistically anywhere you buy truffle oil, be it in the US, UK, or France, the flavor is not going to come from truffles --- regardless of whether local regs require some real truffle component in the product. Not because purveyors are chintzing out (though: they are), but because truffle oil made from real truffles isn't very potent and isn't shelf stable.

That's not a defense of truffle oil as a product. Don't bother with it.

This is a pretty silly thing to picket the White House over.

> The homeowner's use of Airbnb is more analogous to listing in the "newspaper classifieds" rather than contracting a human broker.

Unlike discrimination by hosts against renters, discrimination by renters against hosts doesn't seem to be a violation of the fair housing laws of either the United States or any State, so, at least in the US, is less likely to be a legal compliance issue to which their may be liability attached.
That Apple wants their users to only use 'approved' peripherals with their stuff (i.e. only those from which they get a share of the profits) under the guise of 'user experience' and 'convenience' does not mean the rest of the world will suddenly give up on their analogue headphones. Apple users will be able to buy dongles (which have to be Apple-approved, so Apple will still get their share of the profits leading to higher prices which Apple-users are willing to bear to be part of that exclusive community) to connect their analogue headphones, the rest of the world will happily keep plugging those 3.5mm jacks into their phones and tablets and radios and other devices.

As an aside, what a strange creature is man that he wants to replace a device which is analogue by nature - ears not being digital after all - with a digital counterpart which is clearly sub-optimal, overly complex and fraught with potential restrictions. Meanwhile that same man will brag to his friends about the analogue turn table he purchased on which he plays his analogue records for that true analogue experience, claiming a much warmer sound that is clearly superior to that produced by digital players which 'chop the sound into bits which takes away from the experience'.

Bizarre, but profitable.

Looking for something fun!
Normally when people tell you something has been submitted before they're saying "you might find some of these earlier comments interesting too".
Other people getting screwed: Custom IEM wearers. I had a $300 set of Alclair Audio IEMs made so I can use an in-ear audio system on stage while making live music. These use impressions that an audiologist takes of your ear canals for an _exact_ fit that completely seals your ear.

There's not a snow-balls chance in hell I would have these be wireless, or a proprietary standard:

1) Latency. Anything over 2ms is not acceptable for live music. That's the difference between a band sounding "in-time" to "needs practice"

2) We use various tablets, phones to control the mix to our ears, and sometimes in between sets, listen and review music.

3) Removing the 3.5mm pretty much means Apple is exiting professional audio because it's now incompatible with 100% of everything.

4) There is no way in hell my $300 pair of custom-molded IEMs bound to a standard that Apple is going to change in 3 years. Not only would I have to replace my IEMs, but any equipment that's not Apple would have to be updated to match. Not going to happen.
Like always, very good content :-)
> I so wish the U.S. moved to a proportional representation/multi-party system sooner rather than later. I'm so sick and tired of their extremely partisan crap. It seems to make everything worse off.

True. I don't advertise this, but I really have a difficult time respecting anyone who would vote for a major party presidential candidate (unless they live in a swing state). It's either a misunderstanding of the longer-term game theory involved or a lack of willingness to risk being on the losing side.

In a way, I'm surprised I can read this so easily. Do our brains read by converting text to sounds, and then parsing the sounds?
>If you do care about quality recording you either tranfer content off the iphone, bypass the phone jack (aka amplifier), or bypass even the DAC (and get a stream directly). There are several products that already do this on the market for the existing iPhone.

More than several, also certainly not limited to iPhone. My external amp/DAC works through lighting-to-camera USB output.

I wouldn't be surprised if someday my amp/DAC wasn't supported through the existing lighting-USB adapter. Couldn't they restrict how digital sound is output from the iPhone? That is, restricting the use of what external DAC you can use.
It's slightly, but only a little. When you buy truffles you should preserve them in oil actually (because it won't take out the flavour), it will be scented but barely so. And the truffle will last more

Nope, not yet: https://github.com/influxdata/telegraf/issues/782

> - there's any solution for reading docker logs (looks like docker metrics are supported)

If there is a logstash "grok" pattern for parsing docker logs, then telegraf supports it. Though it's probably worth formulating a grok pattern specifically for telegraf that properly takes advantage of tags, fields, measurements, etc.

> - any other critical logstash functionality missing?

It's not even planet Earth, it's just basic logic. It most voters don't want Trump to win, Trump will not win a survey of voters.

There's never been any doubt that most white Americans will vote for Trump. The Democrats haven't won whites since 1964. The Civil Rights Act ended that possibility. The big question is whether Trump will overwhelmingly win whites, or just comfortably win whites.

>homeowner's use of Airbnb is more analogous to listing in the "newspaper classifieds" rather than contracting a human broker.

Except that AirBnB:

- collects money and acts as a financial intermediary

- provides some measure of insurance to both sides of the transaction

- provides some measure of support before/during/after a stay

- more?

Basically, it's nothing like a newspaper classified.
They let it crash, I guess!
Ah, the old "the commercial clouds can't satisfy our needs so we built our own" argument.

The idea that Amazon won't be storing data for users (or provide an automated mechanism to migrate that data to a new provider) is an interesting one, but not one I'd bet a multimillion dollar self-deployed cloud on.

One has to expect that Amazon is planning for decades of storage or providing an exit path- many more people than CERN are banking on that property.

Yes, we're talking about passwords, not private keys. Virtually all passwords found in the wild have a massively lower entropy, so the amount of possible hashes doesn't really matter, only how long it takes to iterate through our much smaller password space. The longer that takes, the less attractive it is for attackers to try and brute-force people's passwords so they can try them on other services.

There are two major improvements to Excel that came in 2010 and 2013.

These are Power Pivot and Power Query (Power Query is now backported to 2010 as well).

Power Pivot straight up is SQL Server Analysis Services. It's a heavily optimized in-memory columnstore database engine that is exposed natively through pivot tables and charts in Excel. The fun demo is loading up a table of several hundreds of millions of rows in Power Pivot and interacting with it in a pivot table in Excel. That was back when I had 8GB of RAM.

Power Query is a data shaping and transformation tool, with an expression language largely based on F# (though with an entirely different standard library and some major functionality changes). The single best feature of Power Query, though, is that it provides an audit trail of all steps applied to a dataset. This completely bypasses one of the major problems in Excel, that intermediate steps are impossible to recreate accurately.

Full disclosure I am a consultant with a Microsoft partner and spend a lot of time with these tools.

I would learn ASP.NET Core. It's a significant design shift that has some growing pains for the community but will be a big improvement. I like Core because it's easier to build a minimal website (without all the bloat that comes with ASP.NET 4 and previous, like System.Web). Also your application specifies most of the behavior now, rather than relying on IIS configuration.

Performance benchmarks have also been exciting:
