I asked for evidence, not what seems obvious.

I already addressed this in my original post. It seems obvious that the displacement of workers would hurt the economy. However, it does not seem to actually happen -- the cities with the highest housing prices have the highest growth of any cities in the world.
I thought you were saying that this bill would raise rents, but it sounds like you actually meant that Airbnb-ing an apartment raises rents, is that right?

Can someone explain why this is so bad? I think the internet handled the downtime of Dyn pretty great, not reaching github wasn't exactly pleasing, but i added the ip temporary to /etc/hosts and the problem was solved. Isn't the best strategy to accept that attacks will continue and systems may go down and design for resilience? If so this attack can serve as a warning and as a check that we can handle these types of attacks. I am a bit exaggerating, but i would imagine that constant attacks keep the internet resilient and healthy. An unchallenged internet may be the greater risk.
Two responses - a weaker (but still sufficient) one and then a stronger one:

The weak argument is, "look at the current case! This was clearly, obviously not Samsung's IP and yet they were able to effectively erase a meme from a popular platform for a short time." This is sufficient to show that indeed it is a free speech issue.

The stronger argument is that the internet doesn't seem to recognize this concept of "material that they are not permitted to distribute." Introducing it has meant (often intentionally) causing all sorts of damage to various protocols and services. Even if it makes sense in the context of industry-age culture (and I'm not sure it does), it seems to go decidedly against nature now.
Well, do you not own your home if an association can force you not to paint an icon on your roof or put certain statues in your yard? I would say so. I have always seen homeowners associations as a grevious affront to the First Amendment. But apparently I am missing something vital or I am insane.

What you are both alluding to is exactly why the AirBnB model falls apart in most situations. You want your own thing, but you don't want to follow the law and respect others in the building (that have signed contracts in hand disallowing the practice). Every other owner or legal sublet in that building wanted their own thing. That's why they bought a unit or signed a lease.

> "Move fast and break things" is a saying common in science and engineering industries. In that context, it means that making mistakes is a natural consequence of innovation in a highly competitive and complex environment. In particular, it was adopted by Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook (who even went as far as to say that 'breaking things' is a necessary feature of moving 'fast enough').

Breaking the law is a mistake (and a serious one for any business caught). Move fast and break things is more about breaking your own things, not someone else's things :)

What's next ? Breaking your node shop competitors' legs :) ?

Move fast and break things != One can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.
That's part of the deal with living in an urban area. Living in such close quarters, you can easily disrupt the lives of those around you - that's why we have noise complaints, rules around trash disposal, etc. etc.

If you don't want to live by those community rules then it would best to live outside of a community.
The last Airbnb I stayed in was obviously lived in, but the fellow was temporarily out - probably with his GF. The one before that was a really nice spare cottage in the backyard of a couple grandparents. Both experiences were far better than any hotel, even fancy ones. I'm really bummed at this response to airbnb.

Beyond that, it's the entire history of the document, with the first 400 or so years being particularly amusing. To be clear, it's not like the same isn't true for other scriptures. You know that lovely story about Moses' birth? Just a ripoff of Sargon of Akkad's origin story, which was almost certainly not original.
Not sure why this is being downvoted. I can back up the sentiments - I saw AirBnB posters graffiti-d regularly.

What folksinger is snarkily and rudely trying to say is that there are other short-term alternatives, such as motels. Also, any listings made by people physically present would have been legal.

I agree that it limits mobility but the law also protects residents from constant, disruptive behavior from serial short-term renters.

I have never lived near a serial short-term rental, but I imagine I would dislike it if I lived next door to one.
This argument doesn't hold much water. There's many, many things you can't do in or with your own home due to various laws. There are externalities associated with lots of activities, and therefore these activities are regulated or outlawed. I can't use my home as a bar, or as a concert venue. I can't use it to tan leather, or operate a waste incinerator.
Why is it OK to burden one group of people (visitors) but not another (residents)? There's something missing in your argument.

MongoDB MMS Offline Due to Dyn DDoS? Here’s a Quick Fix
It appears that people (domain name administrators) are switching away from Dyn as their DNS provider, as per https://status.heroku.com/incidents/965 (issued 19:21 UTC). Does this mean that other DNS providers (Amazon Route 53, CDNetworks, CloudFlare, DNSimple, easyDNS, Google DNS, Verisign, OpenDNS) could potentially become targets?

Ask HN: We've launched successfully. Now what?
Hey everybody,

So we've launched our startup on TechCrunch and a whole bunch of smaller publications and are currently live on Product Hunt. Overall it's been a rather successful "soft" launch (we've been trickling more articles, etc. for about a month), with more than 500 businesses and companies picking up our product.

However, I'm wondering what the next step is. We have decent word-of-mouth growth, and obviously product-market fit is the most important goal to strive towards right now, but what can I continue to do actively to grow our startup?

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences. :-)

This really comes down to the weakest link though. You can use letsencrypt if you want, but someone else can still spoof your domain with a fake Comodo cert and any of your users' browsers will happily trust it.

Public key pinning seems like it would prevent this attack though.
> Prop. 13 disincentivizes cities from adding housing.

disincentivizes cities from adding low-density housing

Once you start piling them up into high-rises, the revenue stream doesn't look that bad.

But for multi-family high rises different cities have a number of additional requirements. Minimum parking spaces, minimum number of feet from the sidewalk, minimum footage of "green zones" consisting of lawns or trees - all great things hypothetically speaking, but costs add up pretty fast, so any high-rise building is now a "luxury condo tower" when in theory increasing density should lead to decrease of cost per square foot, not increase.
Hi!

Thanks for the comment, I think it's pretty constructive. The site is bigger because it is a SPA. It loads every static asset on start, compared to the HN approach which loads only the current page. The NX framework itself is 12kb zipped and 10kb minzipped.

I agree, that it is not a typical use case, but it is starting to become a standard thing for new frameworks (like todoMVC). The point is to implement something that others implement too, to give a fair comparison to users (code).

Why not just leave the rules up to the property owners? For example, residents can move to properties where landlords have banned Airbnb customers. Wouldn't this be a win/win situation for everyone?
That was the most hilarious outcry in the history of my life and people over here still joke about nipple-gate - and how utterly, utterly confusing the whole reaction was.

In other words: I'd say there were an order of more millions of people amused about the outcome.

Now here's the thing: Mocking other people's morality isn't going to help here, I understand that. Giggling has no place in this debate.

But .. we're talking in a specific context here. Facebook. The company that wants to impersonate The Internet™. If they adopt the morality of their home country, then their rules are going to be absolutely insane in the rest of the world.

Morality isn't being defined by Facebook, nor by the US. It's a personal choice. And while 'no pornography' is an understandable business choice, 'breasts are the devil' or 'let us pretend that no human has nipples' is somewhere between hilarious and stupid if you extend that beyond a certain demographic.
Isn't it more like 995k apartments for rent, and 5k hotels? The difference between 10% and 0.5% matters when you're arguing that AirBnB significantly reduces the supply of housing in NYC.

I think this is poor use of terminology. No one with any experience can deny that there are self important programmers with a highly twisted sense of reality that can effectively destroy a project or product. Or that engineering should be appropriately balanced against business desires.

But'Over-Engineering' conjures images of drinking cups made to withstand the force of a tank rolling over them. Or platinum fasteners, or spending 20 months doing usability studies as the market slides past.

The failure modes that this article describes are just bad engineering. Or broadly, bad organizations that tolerate or can't differentiate bad engineering.
Curious if there is an opposite process: having some program, ask some prolog-like system if given program has any vulnerabilities, and how to exploit them?

Who owns your home? If government can tell you who can stay with you

The government can do all manner of proscriptions for your residence. For instance, no, you cannot run a brothel from your house. You cannot turn it into a bouncy house park. And you cannot have short-term rentals in an area that the community has decided to use for permanent housing.

It's called "zoning", and collectively we've agreed to the allowed uses of our property. You live in a community of others, and your property lines do not define "The Independent Republic of JJordan", so yeah, the government does have some authority over your use of your property. You might not like it, but you'll be going against the flow. Because, personally, 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.

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. If one decides that's just not really working for them anymore, well, move to a community that has standards more to your liking. There do exist places that will have no problem with you throwing all the loud parties you like, and renting to college students on spring break. Those places are not in SV, however, so good luck in your search for remote work.
People at pro-airbnb rallies have chanted "sharing is caring". The reason airbnb so assiduously works to keep the word "sharing" in there is precisely because of the kindergarten meaning.
There are a few comments on this thread about people disputing microsofts cloud revenues. I've got no extra intel or inside knowledge, however what I am seeing in the market suggests to me MSFTs cloud numbers are probably near to what they claim.

I lead sales and marketing at a small Microsoft partner. Even though we are an edge case we haven't lost a deal against salesforce.com for quite a while, and I am hearing similar reports from other established Microsoft partners here in Australia.

The combination of Dynamics CRM Online / Dynamics365 with the broader stack (BI, office365, azure) is extremely compelling to businesses.

And at a third of the price of salesforce licensing all we needed to have done was equal them to win the deals.

As Microsoft goes up look out for salesforce going down. They did a great job and set the gold standard, but the market has caught up and overtaken them now.
The problem is enforcement. As it is this law is all about tractability of enforcement, it doesn't change what apartments are or are not allowed to be let/sublet but rather adds a provision that makes it illegal to advertise an illegal unit. This is because the existing law is very difficult to enforce and AirBnB moguls are blatantly flaunting it. This is the same problem with those that suggest that we don't need state laws because condos and co-ops can just enforce their contractual rules. (Also, that argument neglects rental buildings.)

Relaxing the law in the manner you suggest would make it even more difficult to enforce than the law as it stood prior to this addition.

From the article:

"Last month, a hacker by the name of Anna_Senpai released the source code for Mirai, a crime machine that enslaves IoT devices for use in large DDoS attacks. The 620 Gbps attack that hit my site last month was launched by a botnet built on Mirai, for example."

I repeatedly hear people refer to IoT devices that are notoriously difficult to update...yet this Mirai code is technically able to access millions of devices and bend them to its will.

So what I'm wondering is just, what prevents the good guys from using Mirai to slurp down every available device to patch the vulnerability that allowed Mirai to work in the first place?

It seems like if vulnerabilities in these devices can destabilize the entire internet that it should be perfectly viable as a response to actively look for those vulnerabilities, patch/minimize them and notify their creators of the issue.

Never heard of Triplebyte, so I looked into them. According to their candidate FAQ:

The phone screen is where I can screen the companies, so this system will not work in my case. I reject more companies before getting to any actual interviewing when it is clear our shared goals are not being met. Most companies just want a warm body, whereas I am very specific in what I want.
There is not that much opposition to these trade deals - the opposition is usually from minority (i.e. political) or special interest group (i.e. an industry that would be disrupted, like agriculture).

Case and point - it's the Walloon farmers that scuttled this deal it seems - and agriculture is always the most challenging participant because of how strongly subsidized they are, and how we give them some strategic interests etc..

Most people are generally pro trade these days - even in Europe.
In some of these cities, you also have the issue where people are renting out their state subsidized housing as unregulated hotels. So they aren't even paying market rent for the place in the first place.
