From what I learned about AirBnB's origin story via an episode of NPR's How I Built This [1], the original idea of AirBnB was a kind of "stay somewhere with a local and experience the place not as a tourist" experience.

The fact that this kind of idea never went away even when everyone else found that AirBnB fullfilled a different requirement doesn't surprise me.

You're right: Knowledge shouldn't be the end goal, but I think you're overstating the effect of fringe communities on the internet.

Consider that for many people on Earth, getting access to the internet takes them from the knowledge shared amongst the members of their community to the collective knowledge of world. That's quite a leap, and I'd argue that having to read flat-earther nonsense once in a while is a price well worth the benefit

I agree with the article, but in all my years in Windows one of the first things I would do is turn on "show hidden folders" in Explorer. There's just so much stuff in hidden folders that you need to access on a day-to-day basis.

I imagine someone with the linux subsystem will be in a similar situation.
> I don't think Donald Trump, a New Yorker and a businessman, is a racist

Both New Yorkers and businessmen have been racist before, and race based discrimination has been a not-infrequent source of legal troubles for Trump.

And that's not even considering campaign rhetoric.
This is a re-post but I think it's important to elevate awareness.

I think you might be mistaken. You might not have noticed yet that the downvote option disappears on its own a set time (24 hours, I think) after the comment was made. Perhaps it was only the comments older than this threshold that were non-votable?
That seems about market value to me. A lot of it is anybody's guess, but that passes my sniff test.
There are three groups of people who want to preserve rare or obscure recordings:
1) The creators themselves
2) Music aficionados
3) Music historians

The consumer public, copyright holders, licensees, and paid-distribution entities (where most of the money exchanges hands) do not.

Record labels and other aggregate copyright holders don't care about each individual catalog entry much unless its currently generating revenue worth the overhead to be on top of, if that makes sense.

At a certain point it's a liability in the large.

Places like what.cd thrived on the obscure, and just as a bittorrent client prioritizes grabbing the rarest fragments first, what.cd's ratio bounty system and community also rewarded those who would unearth and organize everything; catering to groups 2/3 above, and sometimes even 1.

All you could trade on there is expertise, access, and time.
I have to assume you are alluding to Apple when you say "other companies". If that's correct, it's relatively trivial to disable the protections on system files in all versions of OS X / macOS. Furthermore, automatic updates and Apple's less invasive version of telemetry are both opt-in, not opt-out and certainly not requiring the magic mojo Windows requires to do so. Sure, iOS is a police state in comparison, but you explicitly stated "on your own PC", not mobile device.
The devices will be bulky, you may have them in your car and house but you won't want to carry them around with you.
I remember the day Oink went down. Sad, but What.cd grew out of it.
Patentable subject matter is explicitly broad, and the machine or transformation test is only a rough guideline, as your link points out. Most patents eventually get approved, but when the patent office does reject a patent it is not usually for subject matter.

Did you read the blogpost? It's basically a Zcash presskit - note the surely calculated title, and the omission of any actual "anonymous" competitor coins in the first paragraph as well as the entire article, all at a time when ZEC price is in free-fall.

It might even be worse if it wasn't as such - a security-oriented business that, motivated by Bitcoin's shortcomings, does due diligence on anonymous crypto and genuinely concludes that Zcash, in its current state no less, is the answer? Come on.

For people who aren't technically oriented, anything that isn't .com/.net/.org (and regional variants like .com.au) are confusing, but there's no good domain names left there. If you're starting a website you're stuck with the choice of a terrible .com domain with shudder hyphens or something, or you can get something like yourbusiness.shopping or yourhandle.blog.

It's gonna be a case-by-case thing whether one option is better than the other, but them's the breaks.
If you're reading the above comment and nodding your head or even feel the argument is wanting, I highly encourage you to read Postcapitalism by Paul Mason. There's even a chapter entitled "Was Marx Right?" Well worth the read.

>So what, then, has prevented new startup chicken ranchers from popping up all over the US to capitalize on the overpricing?

Capitalism. Which is less about "free trade" and disruption, and more about big players securing any niche for themselves as best as they can (government regulations not required for that either -- they can also do it with buying out smaller competitors to prevent disruption, dividing the market between themselves and forging cartels, playing retailers against one another and taking advantage of their economies of scale, undercutting on price while smaller competitors die and then jacking it, etc).

Nah, those 18-25 year olds are ignorant idiots too. And when they get older they'll start voting conservative just like their parents generation. One anecdote about how ignorant they are... on three separate occasions I had a conversation with a Hillary supporter about her having destroyed subpoenaed evidence. Each of those three cited a factcheck.org article that stated in its third paragraph that she had in fact destroyed the evidence after the subpoena. They don't even read their own citations...

I didn't vote for Trump, so it's not like I was supporting him, but damn Hillary voters were so ignorant of her history. They were so mad that Trump didn't want to welcome more Syrian refugees. How many of them knew Hillary literally created the Syrian refugee crisis in a failed attempt at a coup? Not a single one I talked to.

I get good value. I work in marketing, client side.

I use it for recruiting to see backgrounds, how peeps career developed etc.

I use it for making business deals. Occasionally I'll reach out to another person where I can see the opportunity to partner on something. How well this is received surprised me at first. I assume it's because I'm not a sales person trying to sell something approach, and it shows people do read their messages.

I use it to keep an eye on what friends and colleges in are doing.

People us it to approach me, often spam but I get much more on email and occasionally get useful introductions.

I use it to look at other companies if I'm thinking of working with them. E.g you can get an idea of if a company is growing/shrinking via their headcount and other things like that.

I've used it to escalate issues I'm having with a business to senior guys that can sort problems. And once used it to flag a database breach I found to a CEO after their IT guys hadn't responded to my emails.....for 6 months...

So it is plenty useful in my user-case and I'm happy for them to show me some ads in return.

It's still cool, but certain things will not be possible.

I thought this was a joke when I read the abstract, but it appears to be a genuine paper.

This paragraph in particular is one of the worst examples I've ever seen of researchers NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THEY ARE DOING:

Unlike a human examiner/judge, a computer vision algorithm or classifier has absolutely no subjective baggages, having no emotions, no biases whatsoever due to past experience, race, religion, political doctrine, gender, age, etc., no mental fatigue, no preconditioning of a bad sleep or meal. The automated inference on criminality eliminates the variable of meta-accuracy (the competence of the human judge/examiner) all together.

Please, read Weapons of Math Destruction and understand how excellent machine learning is at discovering and exploiting the biases in datasets.

Edit, no, sorry, it gets worse:

the upper lip curvature is on average 23.4% larger for criminals than for non-criminals.

the distance d between two eye inner corners for criminals is slightly shorter (5.6%) than for non-criminals

Why not just go out and have your own experience and be guided by your own sense of adventure? Rent a bike and just explore. Stumbling upon new things without an app or a guide book is one of the greatest joys of traveling.

The usual response to this question is "well I only have a few days or my time is really limited." Which means you aren't going to "live like a local anyway" if you only have 72 hours.

The places actual locals frequent will now become boxes to be ticked on a "live like a local curated airbnb experience." And there will be lines of people all trying to have the "local experience" just as you are. And these are the people you will end up meeting and talking to. The actual locals will have gotten fed up and started going elsewhere.

That would be quite computationally intensive to implement.
For theory, absolutely.

Its still hard to beat the Dragon books for compiler theory, and SICP, Lisp In Small Pieces and others are still some of the best for PLT.

New skills tends to be different, because the technology is new, theoretical underpinnings haven't been researched well enough to be expanded out into a book.

I'd never get a book on jQuery, because I don't need the theoretical underpinning, just the documentation. A basic understanding of the implementation is enough.

However, I would pick up a book on Dot, the Typed Calculus being explored with Scala in the Dotty compiler. Because I'd be learning the mathematics of type safety, and using types to more effeciently generate machine code. However, learning to use Scala would be incidental to that experience.
Interesting theory. Besides the correlation, do you have any additional data to support it?

I did not know what.cd.

Reading the comments here, it seems this service represented for many what to me is last.fm, with regards to music discovery only (not downloads).

How was what.cd different from last.fm, with regards to that aspect? I think last.fm has always had the best tagging and recommendation engine ever, easily crashing Spotify and the alike, even today (I hate Spotify recommendations, after 4th song you will listen at rubbish).

Last.fm also allows to see compatibility with other members based on your tastes, (I understand this aspect was a big part in what.cd).

Actually I think Last.fm was the "first Spotify" ever. 10 years ago they were hosting music on their server and had a premium plan but back then it didn't work. Instead of shutting down they decided to remain as a recommendation engine and community, embedding music from Youtube.

Does anyone uses it here? Any opinion on how the two compare?
So this happened to me. My 2012 retina MacBook Pro battery was dying. Which makes sense, I used it every day for over four years.

I figured I could take it to Apple for a battery replacement. They said they would do it — for $900. They told me it involved replacing the entire bottom half of the computer as the battery was glued in.

So I called their support line and complained that the laptop was perfectly fine and it shouldn't cost that much to replace a battery. They ended up replacing it for free, as well as the screen (because they identified that the anti-reflective coating was starting to wear). So while the policy was ridiculous, the actual outcome was very positive.
Immutable containers still may need specific names when they are launched, netowrking settings, etc. Helm holds your deployment configs.

Think about having a redis cluster. You need 6 redis containers (at minimum), known names to add to your connection settings in your apps, a job container to run redis-trib, etc.

Using helm has let us define a redis cluster configuration that we know works well and anyone at the company can now launch one just by flipping out the pod (container) names, setting a namespace, and configuring memory and CPU limits.

For monolithic applications this stuff won't be super useful (or for simple software applications) but in a modern SOA, it saves us tons of time. Need a HA Postgres setup for your new microservice? Great, just change the name of the database pods to match your service name and run "helm install -f my-service-db.yaml postgres"

For us at Help.com, it's the new Ansible. We run everything in kubernetes and Helm ensures we have consistent deployments of containers for database clusters, redis clusters, message queue clusters, etc.

In addition, the delete feature is amazing when developing your configs. Previously we had to run a ton of kubectl commands to clean up after testing runs or put stuff in a specific namespace which we deleted and recreated. With Helm, we can simply delete a Helm release and it takes care of removing the pods, services, deployments, secrets, etc.
Answering part of my own question: nope.
