The legislation does not allow me to rent out my apartment for a week when I go on vacation, a few times a year. This is by far the primary usage of Airbnb, for people who live in NYC.

Put in that context, the legislation seems pretty well-aimed at its goal of keeping up demand for hotels at the expense of average people getting to recoup a bit of their enormous rent expenditure.
I felt the same. I didn't even finish S01E01 because I just didn't want to see it.

But I eventually started back in S01E02 and absolutely loved the rest of the series. That first episode is the worst, I think perhaps its tone about consent is very wrong. But I had no major hangups about the rest of the series. Some other episodes were still deeply, deeply disturbing, but I felt they got the tone more right, so I didn't feel the need to walk away as I had with the first episode.

Tough to watch though, especially the Christmas Special.
Property rights do not exist without the enforcement of the state. Property is essentially a limited contract between the owner and the state, so of course property owners cannot go against the will of the state.

You have the right to say it, but where are you going to say it where it will actually be heard?

All the big platforms are private and could hypothetically block your message without offering you any recourse.
That's correct.

In a nutshell: 60 days max, fire safety equipment is mandatory, and the building home owner's association (body corporate) need to agree to it.

The city produced a one-pager to spell it out:

> short-term rentals in an area that the community has decided to use for permanent housing

It shouldn't be legal to tell someone who owns a home that they cannot rent it out. We're not talking about someone running a business out of their home, where the zoning laws actually apply.

> I'd rather not have the house next to me used for short-term rentals "shared" with those that don't give two shits about the community they'll be leaving on Sunday afternoon.

How about the ones who let that druggie sister down on her luck move in, she's ok because it's for over 30 days?

This is just whiny bullcrap from someone who wants to be able to control their neighbors.

> You also don't get to just decide not to follow the rules after the fact. One moved to a community, and directly or indirectly agreed to abide by the community standards.

We're not discussing a housing authority here. If you and your neighbors get together and decide the community cannot abide someone allowing another person to use their house for less than ... what 6 months? a year ... you write that into the bylaws, set out the financial penalty, and then you enforce it.

And that's your right.

But when these kinds of things become illegal across an entire state, there's a problem. This law should have never been on the books in its current form to begin with.
> a lot of people with too much money are buying condos in NYC as an investment

That would be OK, but renting for short term should be illegal? If AirBnb residents are noisy and disrespect the laws, call the cops on them. If owners don't pay their due taxes, call IRS on them. It's no reason to make it illegal to rent for short term.

I have used AirBnb in many cities on 4 continents and was always respectful to the locals and even tried my best to follow the specific recycling rules and such.

What I enjoy the most is the organic feeling of being in a real apartment vs being in a hotel room. Hotel rooms all feel the same, wherever you go. What I want is to experience the same perspective as a local, well, at least to attempt to do that, and that is because I appreciate the different cultures.

Banning short term apartment rentals would send a bad message to people who just want to appreciate your culture.
> It's pretty common for deals like that to be rented sight unseen.

Given the prevalence of the broker industry I'm not sure that's the case.

Either way -- the city only cares because they're missing out on hotel taxes. I don't think the city actually cares too much about who can afford an apartment in the desirable neighborhoods that have a high volume of AirBnBs.
Limiting the gender is probably expressly intended to limit the talk in a particular way as one of its central motivations. (It may limit it in other ways as a side effect, which may either be something the organizers haven't considered or a price they are willing to pay.)

So how do they get that wealth while still being able to live in their home?

Or, to put it another way, why should they no longer be able to live in their home just because the market went crazy?

If your'e gonna use DNS servers and you don't want someone to track you, use the DNS server based somewhere where your government cannot access them. If you're in the US, it's easy to assume that US DoJ/FBI will not be able to subpoena Yandex or some Chinese internet provider.
I have a hard time believing that companies trying to pretend they are significantly larger than they are in hopes of snagging some super-special hire is a common thing. It seems like the sort of thing that would backfire quickly. I would quit on the first day if I arrived to discover a scenario like you've described - but to be honest I'd probably detect much earlier in the process and never arrive in the first place.

It's also worth noting that the reverse direction of this false-hope scenario does occur frequently: It's extremely common in our industry for candidates to take interviews with companies they would never accept an offer from just to practice their interview skills for later interviews with companies they actually do want to work at.
I'm already using git commit logs as a micro-blog! ...internal to myself.

I had all this tooling already to e.g. scrape all the git repositories in my projects directory, and aggregate them into an activity feed for reviewing my own productivity. A dedicated repository to git commit --allow-empty -m "..." in, for non-code work, seemed like a natural and logical enough step.

And after all, the most noble goal in life is to make markets more efficient.

The best place to do this is at your border. You probably have a cable modem or router or some such that connects your home to the internet. You would typically install software known as IDS (Intrusion Detection System) such as Snort there and look for anomalous traffic.

As for a non-technical solution, it will be difficult to implement. It requires some computer know how and time. Such a secure device could be created or better yet offered by the manufacturers of the modems/routers frequently deployed in homes.
You're asserting that your (or their) homegrown DNS service will have better reliability than Dyn and Route53 combined. That assertion gets even worse when it's a backup because people never, ever test backups. And "ready to go" means an extremely low TTL on NS records if you need to change them (which, for a hidden backup, you will), and many resolvers ignore that when it suits them, so have fun getting back to 100% of traffic.

Spoiler: I'd bet my complete net worth against your assertion and give you incredible odds.

Golden rule: Fixing a DNS outage with actions that require DNS propagation = game over. You'd might as well hop in the car and start driving your content to people's homes.
Not really, actually. I get it. It's the waste/needless entropy and it makes me more sad than mad anyway.

I have to consider that some of the effort I spend chasing what looks like a great job might actually be a complete waste of time with no chance whatsoever.

I've been pretty vocal about my experiences, good and bad, job searching. I usually even like to name and shame and strangely enough it has paid off for me in connecting with the kinds of people I want to work with. I've been happily employed for a year now and have a good network of opportunities available to me.
I agree with you about #1, but I think #2, while bad, isn't as bad as never responding at all. I mean, at least there's some kind of closure, belated though it may be.

When I was hiring, I always tried to loop people in and say no or scoot them through the process as fast as possible. Better for the company, better for me, better for the candidate.
I notice that they're all gable roofs, compared to the hip roofs which the author criticizes. Gable roofs usually look less prominent, since there's less surface area, and it's usually on the sides which you don't see as much as the front of the house. But I think hip roofs are better in harsh environments, partly because they're more stable, and partly because the maximum wall height is shorter, so it takes stronger winds to blow water onto the siding.

Are snowstorms and rainstorms not a big concern in Norway? I looked at some weather data and it sounds like certain parts are quite rainy, but less so in the major cities like Oslo, and with less storms than Maryland. Is that accurate?

> Don't like HOAs? Don't live in an HOA community.

That's becoming harder and harder. Currently 68 million Americans live in some sort of community association [1] and that's constantly rising.

These are essentially hyper-local governments. I can "willingly move" between cities and states and yet city and state governments also can not infringe upon constitutional rights (though they certainly sometimes try).

It doesn't seem like a big stretch to hold HOAs to the same standard when you're talking about putting restrictions on something as fundamental as someone's residence. That isn't to say they aren't allowed to make any rules governing the community.

Wait a sec, can homeowners still rent out their primary residence when they are away?

I thought the law only prohibited hotel-like stuff.
No government != No rules.

I doubt the poster above is against rules, but like me wants to decentralize that authority and enforcement. My answer: you want to have a market for law and enforcement. Read "the machinery of freedom" by David Friedman if interested.

The teams rarely stay together - there's often no stable funding source, and much of the grunt work is done by grad students. And the technology is advancing all the time - we're sending heavier and heavier landers, with better and better instruments. Even on Earth, if you were on a team investigating animal migration (say), you probably wouldn't be thrilled to use the same hardware that the last team used 8 years ago.

Are there not aspects of industry regulation at the legislative level that don't really have to do with what the public wants already?
But you can let your druggie sibling live there for free. There's a reason why zoning laws exist, there's no good reason to disallow someone from doing what's effectively subleasing. It's been legal since forever.
Your understanding is incorrect. This only applies to rent controlled, and rent stabilized apartments. Most NYC apartments are neither of these, and rent stabilized itself has ceased to be effective in many cases.

The scenario you're describing is possible, kind of, maybe. Usually rent controlled apartments also have pretty strict laws about subletting, to prevent this exact kind of thing (and this is all legislation that predates airbnb).
Indeed. My mom got an internet connected "security camera" kit (for cheap from one of the big wholesalers, can't remember the manufacturer) and asked me to set it up.

The hardware was nice, cameras did a reliable 1080p full color, but the whole reason my mom wanted it was so she could check in while she and my dad were traveling (and also sneak a peek at her bird feeders while she was away; avid birder, that one).

So, I hooked that thing up to the network and did a port scan on it... First noticed - it's listening to port 22, auth is a googleable default password. It supports UPnP to punch a hole through the NAT and serve up video on another port. OS on the server box is some slightly customized version of linux with an _old_ kernel.

So I said, "Sure mom, I can set this up for you. We're going to need to get you a new firewall, it'll probably be easiest to put a *nix box in front of your wifi access point, then we can set up a tunnel between the isolated camera server and a locked down outside server that only you have access to so we can be sure that no one else is looking at those cameras. Should only take me a few hours, and we'll need to buy a box to run the firewall, and then a small monthly fee to keep the internet accessible server running"

Her response, "but it says on the box that it's easy to setup for outside access!". Mine: "It's easy to setup for everyone to access, much more involved if you want to make sure it's only you who has access".

Admittedly, it did have some authentication for accessing the video streams, but I didn't trust that thing as far as I could throw it; I'm glad she decided not to go through the trouble of getting it working (but mostly because I'm lazy and didn't want to have to setup and support that damn thing).

I can only imagine that the people who bought that device and didn't have a security paranoid person to help them set it up are all contributing to this most recent DDoS attack.
Most people who advocate "market solutions" always assume perfectly rational actors, and forget that they're basically making it so only the rich can do whatever it is they're advocating for.

No business idea that can be pitched in one sentence can be brilliant. Any idea that can be shortened down that much is not brilliant, which is why so many pitches are of the kind "We are an ex-Google/Facebook/Amazon team building the Uber/Airbnb/Facebook for niche x". Yawn.

Truely brilliant ideas are very, very rare and take quite a long time to explain.

Edit. My approach is to say that I have solved problem x. If the person is interested in this then I then ask if they want to learn more and tell them approximately how long it will take to explain. Most people aren't interested, but for those that are it is always a productive and enjoyable experiences to talk to them about the idea in depth.
Would love to see similar for corporate side of learning and development, rather than just academic side.
I sorta kinda understand that, but where I live (southern europe) I always had different experiences. As soon as any talk/workshop/whatever is 'segregated', there is a lot more gender issues talked than when it is mixed. Over the top example, but as as soon as men (even in professional settings) gather only as men, sex related bits show up in talks/etc, and when it is a group of women (according to my wife) it usually degenerates into a feelings kinda talk over objective talks. When it is mixed, I never felt there were objectifying of women or female speakers focused to much on 'womens topics'

(and sorry if I seem insensitive, and I'm sure there are women (and men, and gays, and blacks, etc) that have been victimized, but for the last few years, I've found that the 'segregated' events end up being more and vile than the mixed ones)
> Good quality local cheese does exist, but you're spending upwards of $20-$30/kg. That makes it something you only buy on really special occasions. Given that in Europe you can buy cheese that tastes better but is a tenth of the cost, I have to question the prices in Canada.

You are quite deluded. Quality cheese in France costs around 18-25€/kg, say 20€/kg, that's $30/kg. Cheap one costs 8-12€/kg, that's still $12-$18/kg.

You can still rent an airbnb for a period of over 30 days (so, 31 days) legally with these regulations. Do you find yourself wanting to move around more often than that?
