It is pretty circular that NYC has started putting up homeless people in hotels. Without ABnB maybe tourists can start staying back in the hotels and the homeless people can rent the apartments.
I agree with you, about this specific example and in general.

When I look back on my career, often when I've said something is "clever for its own sake" was only clever because of a lack of understanding on my part, and rarely for its own sake, outside of toys and obscurity competition where such cleverness is the point.
Profits do not equal money returned to investors. These profits will be held for future capital purchases or used to pay down debt or used for R&D in the future.

Since AirBNB so many times matches prices of hotels in busy spots, people rent on Air because it has less rules and regulations. - hey let's throw an all booze/drugs loud music party.. where? at Cesars'. Are you insane you want to get us arrested and banned for life?? Versus: hey let's rent on AirBNB and have a reckless party, I mean what bad can happen to us?

Too bad AirBNB was busy writing complaints to Cuomo and basically threaten him with lawsuits based it baselessly on 2nd Amendment violations, instead of re-working their "behavior guidelines" for rentees.
Could you elaborate as to why it's such a bad choice and also in which use case you would find it acceptable to use Mongo? I really want to understand why certain tools are better for certain tasks.
No, it explicitly means that it won't change the guidance the company has given regarding future performance (it won't get materially more revenue, it won't incur materially more costs). There is a much better explanation of what it means on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Materiality_(auditing))

Wow I guess this is the best proof of how Tesla is really changing the way auto owners think, this is something that wasn't unthinkable before Tesla and their over the air updates. Can you imagine a BMW owner complaining that his 2015 model does not have stuff that new 2017 models will get??

Aha! I think I understand what has you confused. You seem to think that the TLDR describes some basic rule of XNU programming that people were already aware of and expected to follow. No. Ian Beer invented that rule. In this post. That's why the bug is such a big deal; it's why we call it a "new bug class". It's also why it's the TLDR of the post.

Your analysis that it is a "gimmick", "bullshit", and "hyped up" is over-simplified and, I think, wrong. There's no need to swear or be mean about this. Some people, myself included (I hate hate hate hate the snapchat app, I'm not able to use it and I can't stand the idea of it) think that Snap does understand product and its market, and has incredible visions for the future with an ability to execute. I think that Snap will be a huge success for a long time to come.

Naysaying Snap is fine, but not if your argument is "bullshit hype".

The Corbyn effect isn’t going away
My 2 cents, with no inside information:

1) They're losing a ton of money. They barely have any revenue, and have over 1,000 employees, many of which are high paid engineers. They also have large technical overhead costs. My guess is they want to sock away 3-4 years of cash since they don't want to go back to the market too often.

2) M&A. Perhaps they buy some technology companies. Or Twitter? Or who knows?

3) They may be cashing out certain earlier investors.

When companies IPO, they have to release a significant amount of equity no matter what.
Well, it turned out that, when the planet moves around the sun, their apparent motion as seen from Earth still closely matches the prediction of the latest geocentric models. So, geocentrists were wrong, but not "Oh no tomorrow Mars will totally reverse course and we'll never understand why" wrong.

So, if you're betting on another Galileo moment, you're wrong. You're wrong now, and even in the unlikely case of a Copernican climate science revolution, you will remain wrong. Nature has this nasty habit of being consistent.

They always do a "end of quarter push" of sorts. It's the terrible reality of being a publicly traded company where a few discrete points in time decide the up and down.

Presumably that is also why Elon doesn't want SpaceX to go public. That kind of push could easily end in a giant fireball there.
There ought to be a gallery of such examples.

Yeah, a content font shouldn't be at 300. It's way too thin at that font size.
I'm impressed and skeptical of the substantial increase in production. A 70% increase in production in one year would likely require substantial changes in the production stages. Hopefully Tesla didn't cut any corners to hit this production number; I'm hopeful that they just scaled back their production initially and now show their "full potential", or added a lot of new machinery in their production line(s). Maybe they will reach the 500,000 target.

I guess we have different definitions of passive income. Obviously you can spend a bunch of time to build and run a business (and, in fact, I try to do that). I just don't really think it's passive when you're working many hours a month on it.

In contrast, my portfolio requires literally 0 work on a monthly basis.

I must be alone in that I've never had a bad customer service experience with Comcast. They've always been able to resolve problems, and service outages in my area are extremely rare. My only beef is with the price I'm paying (around $130 for 50MBps + basic TV), but their Internet service so far has been stellar. They were also one of the first major US ISPs to take IPV6 seriously and roll out native support.
Rise of the mobile influencer
>His older novels such as the later Foundation series were crap. Fad idea of the day (Gaia) instead of exploring a topic a bit more in depth (advantages of large populations in combating stasis).

While the writing was a little pulpy (then again, it always has been), the ideas were worth exploring. Doesn't matter if it was based on a "fad idea of the day", it was still a concept worth exploring in the context of the series. Besides sci-fi writers have done the Gaia idea dozens of times, way before it became a fad. His classic "robot" stories, on the other hand, I always found ho-hum.

In any case, the second foundation series is no worse in writing than the "Pebble in the Sky" -- and that was his very first novel, after tons of short stories.
> How about the people that avoid becoming homeless by AirBnB'ing one of their rooms?

Actual home sharing, that is, renting an extra room in your residence, is still allowed. This legislation doesn't touch that.

The target of this legislation is people who were creating businesses by buying condos purely to permanently rent on Airbnb.
Along with discounts, it's worth mentioning there were also some accounting changes in Q3 and they cashed in all of their ZEV credits for the year. So the profit didn't come easy.
Civil engineering had thousands of years of development when Galloping Gertie happened. Why would their methodology work in other, different engineering fields when it fairly routinely doesn't work in its own? I mean, if you look at things like project failure percentage (and cost!) over time spent developing the field, you probably have software winning.

Software is developing in to an engineering profession at an astonishingly fast pace. It's just currently at the point where it's differentiating between tradesmen and engineers, and without that clear distinction, it's hard to compare apples-to-apples between fields.

> And the handyman and the engineer have very little in common.

Why not? You're lampooning software development for the fact that a lot of not-quite-professionals develop mixed results because they churn a lot of product onto the market. The damage done to house integrity all over the world by questionable repairmen estimating the engineering impact of a change they make is comparable.

My experience with high-assurance software is that it's similarly well constructed and engineered to high-assurance civil engineering, eg, major bridges. Failures happen, but are sporadic rather than regular.
Yeah that's right. Further, it's not that Musk just tells investors to go do one for humanity. They know if they let the business grow more now, they get even larger profits later.
Bethesda No Longer Gives Out Review Copies in Advance. Good
It does. One can drop by the next day and vote for someone else (and the last vote wins over earlier, and physical voting overrides e-voting).

However, it still requires that people "undo" their vote. I can imagine that a large percentage of people won't, so it will still be a net gain to coercion.
On the other hand if one reads from the bottom of the page the calibre of comment leaves a lot to be desired.

Opbeat forked the clients not the server. The client forks are fun because we are still credited in their licenses. Most of our competitors have their clients open source so that is not really a concern anyways.
Profile information can be useful for the platform itself, since they can use it to target specific ads to people who are most likely to engage with them (watch video, click through or do something else). Since there is only limited space for ads available, being successful with this might be quite important.

I felt compelled to point how ridiculous this is. There are tons of lodging options. You can see for yourself with a casual search on any price comparison site.
Per-unit margin goes down (but is still profitable per unit) but you make up in volume to create a profit.

Tesla's main costs aren't the cost per unit but the engineer/software costs iirc.
That's typically a bad reason to give to an investor.
I'd view it as apartment renters and (especially) non-AirBnB host condo/co-op owners have even more voters than AirBnB hosts.
Generally you license the code so competitors have a disadvantage e.g. with GNU licenses, they may have to open source any changes they make. As the copyright holder, you can do things with the code that they cannot (since you don't have to follow license restrictions), i.e. create premium features.

That's him. He wrote that. I added to it with something that you disagree with, and I'm rapidly tiring of interacting with you because you're making it extremely hard to remain civil.

But since you're the expert on Docker's production intentions, could you perhaps discuss Swarm and how it compares against competitive technology in the field? We can start small: what kind of scheduler does Swarm employ? Two-level, optimistic? What is your understanding of the runtime and performance bounds of the selected scheduling strategy? What is the expected latency for scheduling decisions as the number of executing containers grows? How does Swarm handle failure to schedule?

Could we then compare that scheduler against Aurora, Marathon, Kubernetes, Omega, and Borg? Why do you feel that Docker is production ready in light of the competitive work being done in this space? What do you feel is the difference between Mesos and Aurora? Between Docker and Kubernetes? Since Docker is intended for production usage, can you elaborate on some of the challenges you've experienced running it in production?

That doesn't make your latter point wrong though, that was probably true too!
What I don't understand is how Jack Dorsey could believe he could successfully manage two companies, Square and Twitter, at the same time at such critical points in their growth. I just shake my head at the unbridled hubris and over-estimation of one's own abilities that one must have to make this decision. It's very frustrating, because I believe both companies could be so much greater at what they do; they've just touched the tip of the iceberg.

The gentle explanation: He's an external figurehead, and he has 3 rock star execs supporting him, each of whom has CEO-level capabilities. (Noto, Bain and Kordestani)

The less gentle explanation: If you think you're the second coming of Steve Jobs, part of securing your legacy is starting a company simultaneous to turning around your old company. It ain't easy being Steve Jobs!

Either way, it doesn't look like it's going to end well.
Battle of the Ecosystems
My fear is that:

1. _Right now_, I don't know how many nation states are trying to hack the election in Estonia. I know of quite a few who would be more than happy to do so in the US. And while it's true you can send spies... it's much easier and safer to hack from a safe base than to go into foreign countries (and no plausible-deniability).

2. You're _assuming_ no one's logging anything. There's no way to ensure that.
Their backers and they stand to make money by hyping it up. They are working their channels to get puff pieces written. Not one article I have read is critical of them.

That's a pretty shitty way of celebrating....

The difference is that you're not directly breaking the law using Google when you visit a torrent site, and there are ways to remove certain information from Google, like Chilling Effect. However, on Airbnb users were directly using the platform the flout or break the law, which is why they're in trouble.

I commented this in another post, but at least for the affected surveillance cameras and recorders, the firmware for these devices is built on Busy Box. The manufacturers either opened up telnet or left telnet open for these firmwares until about 3 years ago when it started getting exploited.

The characteristics for how these surveillance devices were hacked are that the devices are using older firmware with an exploitable telnet feature and that the default credentials are still intact. There are a few vectors (using UPnP, HTTP API, directory traversal) that can be applied to bypass authorization. Throw in a global directory of these devices (shodan.io) and you have the ability to search for these devices with specific firmwares, run every attack vector to compromise these systems, and, once connected, have them do _whatever_you_want_.
>The spirit of AirBnB and the "sharing" economy is to share under utilized housing.

In Croatia, almost all and every airbnb listing is from/for a professional apartment which is renting 100% of the time. I used it like that and have been satisfied. I just presumed it's like that all over the world. It started out as a living space surplus 'sharing', but it grew into pro apartment renting.
