I see Apple is missing from your list.
On-demand loading is useful, because it speeds up launch time. You could have hundreds of packages installed, but if they're all on-demand, launch can still be blazing fast.
I assume your clients would prefer working nameservers over vanity ones. Especially if you are in a critical business like PagerDuty.
The way I see it is: you can either have a city where ALL the residents of the city can afford to live (esp. service workers, teachers, elderly folks on a fixed income, etc), or you can have one where those with the expendable capital buy up most of the available housing to use a short term rentals to increase their income further. I'd rather live in a city where many different kinds of people can find a place to live than one where only those with the most money can stay.

To be clear: I'd support density limits for AirBnBs without an outright ban and am totally fine with people renting out extra rooms on a short or long term basis. Unrestrained short term rentals seem to clearly drive up the price of property and end up benefiting mostly those who already have the means to own a place to live.
I was in a discussion with someone here about Trump and "hate speech", and I'm curious if anyone can actually point to anything that Trump has said on record that would qualify as "hate speech" under US law.

Also, any nation's law regarding hate speech would qualify to give this idea more dimension. I know Germany has especially strict regulations around this, and wonder if anything Trump has said in this country would qualify as "hate speech" in that country.

Thoughts?
Yes, my brain. Developed it in house. A couple of collaborators I guess.

The implementation that would successfully distinguish between the two is one that doesn't. It would allow both, and not apologise for it.

Naked female brests are not porn.
Month long stays should be permitted. The original law (that was passed a couple years ago) prohibited short term rentals for fewer than 30 days, but 30 days+ should be permitted.
Marginal evidence for cosmic acceleration from Type Ia supernovae
You wouldn't have to fix Windows machines either nowadays. 7 is way more stable than 95-98-2000-XP. I am rarely called about it, and when I use it, I don't have any problem. It's not unix-like stable, it starts to decay after 2 or 3 weeks of uptime, but it is a huge improvement over previous versions.
How many DNS services ala Dyn exist?
Is it not still massively significant that a successful attack can be launched on even one of these?
> I'd be more interested in knowing how New Yorkers feel about regulating short term apartment rentals than how they feel about sharing.

Around the time when AG Schneiderman first subpoenaed Airbnb's records, Airbnb had a very aggressive advertising campaign in the NYC subway stations. Certain high-traffic stations were plastered with ads proclaiming how "New Yorkers Love Airbnb" and showing "regular New Yorkers" who were using Airbnb.

On my commute each morning, it was interesting to see how those ads would get defaced with graffiti... not just once, but every single day, with new messages in different handwriting. The messages weren't saying anything you wouldn't expect - mostly they were complaints from angry neighbors of people who rented out on Airbnb full-time, or people who had to move because their landlords had decided to turn their apartments into full-time Airbnb rentals[0]. But it was quite amazing to see how persistent the rancor towards Airbnb was. I took some pictures of them, though I wish I'd gotten a true time-lapse of those over the span of the weeks (months?) that the ads were up.

For contrast, advertising campaigns in NYC subways commonly get defaced, but usually over a much longer period of time. And it's rare for it to be in retaliation towards the advertising company - usually it's people drawing beards on women or making off-brand remarks.

[0] Yes, no matter how much Airbnb tries to deny it, this does happen.
Yes!! For sure, after such an attack it will force the internet into rethinking their DNS strategies.

Just took a look at MSFT. I was surprised to see that the stock has been climbing basically linearly for a solid 5 years now. I wanted to revisit the CEO/stock price graph now that we've seen a bit of Nadella's performance:

I was expect to see a nice perfect correlation of Ballmer = flat stock price, but it actually looks like the upturn began during his tenure. Speaks well for him, although overall it's not a pretty picture of his tenure.

I've been toying with the idea of a git-backed MIME email, where each thread is a repo, each message is a commit, and send/receive semantics map to push/pull operations.

I don't work on it because I don't want to reinvent email -- a trap many have tried -- but I do want explore ways of doing content-addressed distributed messaging, and a DCVS gives you those for free.
There's no mention of that anywhere.
It seems to me like this is best left up to individual building associations and landlords. Maybe it's time to deregulate hotels a bit too, since online reviews have corrected a lot of the information asymmetry that the regulations were trying to deal with in the first place.
I always thought DNS had enough redundancy built-in that this sort of thing wouldn't really have much effect. But here I am unable to access websites, simply because name resolution isn't working. If my local DNS server were caching things longer there would largely be no issue.
> “For too long companies like Airbnb have encouraged illegal activity that takes housing off the market and makes our affordability crisis worse,” she said. “They have sat idly by while unwitting ‘hosts’ are evicted for breaking their leases, unscrupulous landlords drive out tenants to profit off the short-term market, and tourists are put in danger by staying in unregulated, unaccountable, and often dangerous illegal hotels.”

I think the danger is exaggerated but otherwise, I tend to agree that Airbnb is perfectly happy to profit off of tenants who break agreements set by their city or community organization and play innocent about the legality. And now, in my city at least, units that are owned and operated purely as short-term rentals which in addition to making it less affordable for people who actively want to purchase a place, also disrupt residents. One condo building for example is pretty much known as a Airbnb hotel as residents often see visitors clogging the lobby with luggage and/or endure loud parties. There's something to be said when residents are delighted when Airbnb'ers have a crap experience so that they stop coming to the building.
I also settled into something similar.

I only use 4 main directories. One for code projects, one for design projects, ~/Downloads for transient files, ~/Documents for files that don't belong to an specific project.

Once in a while I create a YYYY-MM-DD folder, drop the current version of each of those folders, and start again with a clean slate. If I need to edit a file, I just search for it and edit it where it is; if I notice I'm having to edit it often, I may bring it back to its previous folder.

If it looks like what a regular user would do, that's exactly why I started doing it. I don't want to care.

You are viewing this as a zero-sum game. I am viewing it as the city not encouraging economic development and designing a sustainable balance of work, living, and entertainment areas.
That's not relevant to the arguments about economic growth, because clearly the places this happens are growing very fast in spite of this.

This is one of the "affordable housing is a social good" arguments. That's fine, but it's not the kind of argument I was responding to.
A related problem also hard to solve, how to find a job as a software engineer for a pleasant highly functional sane company. Let me know if there is a solution.

Well, only if you don't look at, say, the field of economics:

The loss is not to the area. It's to the people who could have gone there, but can't due to housing prices.
Wait, how does more humans = more diversity? I would think any abstract measure of diversity would be based on average differences, or standard deviations away from the mean. Obviously, the absolute extremes are greater with more people, but it seems entirely logical to say diversity has decreased as the number of people increase.
There are network effects actually.

Bombardier is one of the main anchors around which many major aircraft industry company are located. In turn those suppliers also help explain the Bell Helicopter Textron plant.

I'm thinking of companies like Safran Landing Systems (formerly Messier-Dowty), Pratt-Whitney Canada (one of, if not the, largest producer of turboprops and turboshafts engines), CAE (sims, avionic), Thales (avionic), Héroux-Devtek (landing gears), etc. Plus all the smaller subcontractors.
It's typical for a young person in Manhattan to pay 3k/mo for a one-bedroom apartment. If a renter takes a four-day weekend to go on vacation, that's:

1) $400 down the drain for the resident

2) allocative inefficiency of an empty apartment that could otherwise satisfy demand for short-term housing

Hotels are the winners in this situation.
From everything I've read, it's not that easy for Americans to emigrate to Canada.
Still the only agency that landed on Titan, which was never attempted before and there was no previous data/experience on how to do it.
I've still not been able to figure out how in many cities I can rent a room in an apartment for less than a room in a hotel. How does the hotel industry not have huge economies of scale? Are the hotel taxes and cost of extra fire codes impacting the price that much?
> we will continue to fight for a smart policy solution that works for the the people, not the powerful.

lol, they talk like they are a grass root movement, they fight for nothing but their own bottom line, I hate this insulting "disruptive" marketing speech. There are laws, just because you're an "app" doesn't give you the right to violate them.
What exactly does this law add?
How about this:

Why not just deserialize all the source maps ahead of time and just store/retrieve them as msgpack objects?

Per this python serialization speed comparison, msgpack is ~ 10X faster than json. So you get the same speed up, but no Rust.

But going camping with your laptop shouldn't kill it. Dropping it off a cliff should (and would even with a MacBook).

Just because it would have killed a worse laptop doesn't mean the MacBook is especially durable. I'd say the durability of the MacBook is exactly what you should expect from a laptop, and others are just particularly bad.

Which is awful because basically the most durable mainstream laptop on the market meets my definition of "exactly average".
Yes, apparently I should have been more specific.

To be fair to Keverw, it's easy to think that I meant to reply to dman's post and was asking what the term meant.
> When I visited NY recently I found that hotel pricing was competitive with AirBnB.

This didn't used to be the case, so you can thank Airbnb in part for finding a reasonably priced hotel room.
I don't think the parent poster would disagree with you. What they're saying is that the decreased quality of life for service industry workers hasn't lead to a negative effect on the economy.

I'm with you that it's a bad thing.
Your automation should be handling creating/modifying records in both providers. Also, if you're utilizing multiple providers you don't need to pay for 100% of your QPS (or whatever metric is used for billing) on every provider, only 50% for two or 33% for three. You can just pay for overages when you need to send a higher percentage of your traffic to a single provider.
To be fair, Hacker News isn't exactly the first place where companies post status messages. I actually applaud him for posting his message here.

This may be dumb, but someone enlighten me:

If this kind of attacking does escalate, wouldn't it be possible to simply cut off requests from outside the United States at the points of entry? Basically, turning the US into an intranet?
The captioning seems appropriate given recent discussions as well.
The unfortunate thing is that common sense dictates that productivity should be going down with quality of life, but apparently, it isn't. Or at least, nobody has been able to demonstrate a correlation yet.
Neither the headline nor the bullet point "summary" actually delivers the promised information about a possible vendetta. The goal is obviously to bury the information as deep as possible in the article to increase the likelihood that readers will click on ads.
I was with him until he said "it's the Nazis". Then I did not know what he was talking about. "We" (not sure who that is) are afflicted by "them" (not sure who that is, either).

I used his software -- Radio -- long ago. I do not share Dave Winer's political views but find his positions and arguments frequently compelling.

But this? I have no idea what the message is. There must be some secret inside-group signaling that is opaque to me.
At the risk of stating the obvious, if you're commuting back and forth between SFO and PDX to launch a business you are not the "little guy".

The "little guy" earns minimum wage and can barely afford to keep their own apartment, let alone rent out a spare one when they're travelling regularly between two cities. All AirBnB does is raise the "little guy"'s rent when the other apartments in their building become short-term hotels for tourists.
Not very quickly? First, you wouldn't know why you were disconnected. You would try the standard things first (plug and unplug your router, etc). Then maybe after a while you would call your ISP. Get put on hold a bunch. Your ISP tech support probably won't know much either, since in your scenario it isn't the ISP doing the blocking. They MIGHT test the connection, or maybe they just give the customer a new IP address.

It is going to take quite a while in this scenario for the user to realize it is their IoT toaster that is causing the issue.
That's not how a lot of AirBnB operations work though. Many of them are effectively hotels.
I, for one, am an enthusiastic paying customer of Fastmail.
There are a shocking amount of units in NYC that are full-time Airbnbs. As a New Yorker, I am in favor of legislation that tries to ensure that New York's rental units are occupied by actual residents.
Interesting, I forgot about ng-bind (honestly it's a pattern I never see on the web). That is, for sure, the superior pattern.
There are alternative clients one can use like acme_tiny.
> If anything, this shows that the EU is basically inept when it comes to trade deals. They will get nowhere with anyone because there will always be some little state the size of a city that doesn't like something.

It's not only that small part of Belgium which suddenly happens to be against this. There is huge opposition against CETA and TTIP in many European countries but most governments either are on the pro side or are pressured into accepting. Also what's tried here is putting CETA (at least partly) into effect to create facts before the national parliaments have their chance to decide, a very shady tactic.
Yeah, they both seem to be real advocates of the citizenry.

Exactly, I have tons of IOT devices. I put them on a separate subnet that does not have a gateway to the internet then I VPN into that network to access them. Perhaps a product that makes that a simple process will solve the problem?
Which is extremely rare. On cheap-ass Windows laptops, it's expected.
You're arguing that it's against the law but the higher standard is here (and it should be in every similar discussion) whether it's just:

Can a proprietor rent out his property to someone else, and possibly so against the will of the state?

I do think yes, if the state has a say then it's not really the proprietor's property.
AirBnb can't be surprised, NYC is one of the most contentious markets for renters and landlords. There's far more tenants than potential AirBnb landlords. While the hotel industry may well have made campaign contributions to sway the legislature & governor, the fact is that rental regulations are the third rail of NY/NYC politics and anything that screws tenants, as the rise of AirBnb has, is bound to get slapped down.
Oh no. The guy behind my favorite company on bootstrapping page got rich selling it to a top schemer in payments industry and fell for others' bullshit that throwing money at neuroscience will make miracles happen. Wow. What an ending...
> The loss is not to the area. It's to the people who could have gone there, but can't due to housing prices.

Since we are talking about the productivity and economic growth of the area, rather than the salaries and quality of life of people who aren't in the area, how is this relevant?
This is something that bugs me. The house I live in was built by the former owner soon before they put it up for sale (divorce) and it has the cheapest crap you can imagine. The general construction is fine, it's the appliances, lights, cabinetry, etc., and internal details that's so cheap. I feel like they built the biggest house they could and then ran out of money to finish fitting it out.

Sure, it's all stuff we can replace, but it still irks me.
Thanks for the thoughtful response.

Still, it'd be nice of one of the many people who downvoted my comment in the past few minutes can explain why I wasn't "allowed" to ask that question.
There is in this article: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-airbnb-regulation-insight-...

> Existing New York state law bars most urban apartment-dwellers from renting out their units for less than 30 days if they are not present.

It appears this new law is relating to the advertising of such rentals - presumably as a way to more effectively clamp down on those that were already illegal.

Indeed, trying to find signal when there is no signal or when it's too weak is big drain on the battery. So when the iPhone thinks there's no signal, it's going to throttle its searches a bit to avoid draining too much power.

In my experience, you can often get it to check again by locking the screen and then unlocking it again. Usually I only have to resort to going to airplane mode and back when the phone does have signal but it can't get reliable data (I'm assuming that going through airplane mode may cause it to switch towers).
What is the proper amount of short term rentals in a city?

Should a particular building be used for housing or rentals?

I know I don't know the exact answer, but the reality is that politicians don't either. These questions are better solved by pricing, the mechanism that actually directs resources to their most valued ends rather than political edict (which as we all know is influenced heavily by whoever is able to grease the most politicians).

Politicians can't react accurately and quickly to rapidly changing supply and demand. The market has an actual signal that does this rapidly and provides incentive to do so.

Anything that disrupts this is just another example of corrupt government benefiting their contributors to the detriment of real prosperity.
Yes, and it's also frequently very wastefully used in agriculture. More water-efficient agricultural practices need to be mandated.
> I'm not sure why I don't see more people buying these then.

I think one major hangup is finding the labour.

I have almost no construction skill, and also work a full time job. I can't take on a kit house myself without becoming homeless in the process. Any contractors I talk to are so busy they are booked out months (or years) in advance.

Another hangup seems to be the design. Any contractors I have found who are willing to build, only ever want to build/sell you a house they designed. And they all seem to exclusively want to design/build suburban homes on huge empty lots that (in my opinion) look like dated McMansions.

I would love to build a small (900sqft - 1400sqft) modern kit/prefab house on a small urban lot like this: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3920/14620317361_5766da68c1_z.... or http://prefabcosm.com/media/photos/2008/01/12/ecube1398.jpg

Every home builder I've ever talked to will only (exclusively) build huge (1800sqft - 3000+sqft) homes, on large empty suburban lots, that all look like this: http://www.mayberryhomes.com/CmImageDir/inventory_1695.JPG or https://nhs-dynamic.secure.footprint.net/Images/Homes/AllenE...
What Bush did, what Clinton did, what countless others have done is delete email. You want to hold her to account, sure, but you better be prepared to accept that others have done the same thing. If that's a crime, there's a long list of criminals.

The FBI, however, has concluded that there was no crime. So hey, take it up with them.

If you think Trump's the candidate to vote for that says a lot about your judgement. Many people are voting for Hillary simply because there's no reasonable alternative.
> You are viewing this as a zero-sum game

Because it is. There is precious little new space for residential buildings in New York. How does people renting out apartments on AirBnB create a "sustainable balance of work, living, and entertainment areas"?
