Not sure that's true. It was the media that was telling people there was a sudden bombshell that was upending the campaign regarding Clinton's e-mail just a week before the election, and talking about 650,000 new pieces of e-mail that were discovered and being investigated. In reality this ended up being nothing, but it dominated headlines in the week before the election.

Here's a word cloud Gallup did about what people heard about Clinton and what people heard about Trump:

I'm not the GP but I would suppose this comes down to if you have a philosophical objection to cities being engineered or not. I personally think that they should be. If the quality of life of citizens of a city is better served by having limitations on this kind of short-let activity, then I think it's reasonable that city managers should have the ability to impose those limitations.

If you believe in Laissez Faire, or that the market should be allowed free rein to shape or society, you would perhaps disagree.

>Europe has traditionally (as a whole) been a lot laxer with regulations.

Quite the opposite. I mean they even tried to regulate how bent bananas could be. Commission Regulation (EC) No. 2257/94
...why should to tourists get to come in and freeload off all the nice things paid for by those taxes?

For the same reason retirees should not be permitted to move into a city funded by income taxes.

In the US, far more cities are funded by property taxes than income taxes. NYC and Yonkers are the only cities I can think of with an income tax.

Again, that was just an example. F is just one possible sheaf on the real line, and in the case of F, yes, continuous functions can be stitched together.

You could define A(I) = { } for a trivial example of a different sheaf A where the "data" (always an empty set, regardless of I) is very different from what it was in the case of F (the set of continuous functions on I).
The problem is the hotel regulations went really far. To the extend that many hotels only care to fulfill the requirements and then to squeeze the last cent from the guests (e.g. infamous fridges with expensive beverages) while disregarding whether the place is cozy, pleasant, or friendly. Initially, the temporary rental platforms were challenging this pathological situation.
Not Have
All of my desktops are Xeons with ECC. Maybe you or your customers don't care, or you just play games and browse the web. But if you're doing something critical, you want to be able to detect and repair a bit flip. Google estimated that 1 bit/GB/year flips. There's 128 GB in our standard desktop built. That would be 2 bit flips/week.
I suppose it's better than getting rejected for treatment. Or having a huge out-of-pocket co-pay. Or having to fight each bill that comes through that claims insufficient coverage--a single hospital stay a while back resulted in 42 separate bills!

Look, with a limited supply of money, care will always be rationed at some point. Rationing hip replacements so that truly urgent healthcare can be administered with less rationing seems to me to be a better alternative to the US system, where even people with "good" healthcare coverage end up going bankrupt when dealing with severe illness.
Yes, there are some algorithms that are iterative in nature (e.g. iterate until some error threshold goes below some specified limit), that can be tolerant to random corruption. Many other algorithms aren't. And even if you use such a tolerant algorithm, you may still get a bit flip e.g. in the code, or in some data not touched by the iterative algorithm, etc. etc.

There's a reason why HPC systems universally use ECC.
It's not simply the "Enterprise" version. It's the LTSB version. The parent comment said that.
Given that there don't seem to be any major harms caused by the lack of safety regulation and amenities on AirBnB, it seems like we can conclude that the hotel regulations are unnecessary.

Surely, as people who favor good governance rather than just arbitrary governance, we can all favor eliminating those costly and pointless regulations now? Or do we just favor arbitrary regulations just because we like regulations?

Building Microservices and testing
One major issue is that apartments aren't designed the same way as hotels are. Everything from security to heating systems and garbage collection are different based on the intended use of a building.

Another is that usually short term rentals are already against rules or regulations so the people who bought assuming they weren't going to live next to a hotel have a reasonable expectation to have a say on if that's going to change.
Agreed. If a location is attracting tourists (and their money) from across the globe, it would be wasteful to turn all that money away because locals want to live there and not 4 subway stops further.

Or, to put in other terms: your historic city centre is a gem, a rarity and such things are understandingly more valuable (in monetary terms) than ordinary locations. Want to live there? Make enough money to afford it.

This seems like it's just a serialized cookie, am I missing something?

One thing that would make this insanely valuable is if you had the option to follow the same rules that google analytics uses to store UTM cookies.

Since the release of analytics.js they no longer allow you to ask the ga object what it thinks the current utm variables are (as they can be overwritten, expire, etc). One might want to do this to track stuff in their own database, etc.

That means one has to attempt to model their algorithm to get it to work, and lets just say thats super annoying:

Ask HN: As Indie Mobile Dev, is it better to do Apps or Games for profit?
As a (former) backend contractor, I decided to switch to mobile app development with aim to create some passive income.

As a solo developer who doesn't wish to expand and employ people (except odd help with graphics, etc) I want to focus on products, which can be delivered by one person and to create some income for myself.

From monetary point of view, I wonder whether it's better to focus on utility apps or games.

At the moment I'm playing with Unity and published few simple games. So far it didn't bring enough income, but then I accept my games aren't great and need to improve before any of my games will get some attention.

Nonetheless, I was thinking about switching to Xamarin and try to develop some utilities apps to see whether there's a better market response.

I can be equally passionate about games or tools development, so I'm not a type of person "I can do only games and it's all my life", so profit here is deciding factor where to go.

Please share your experiences.
The majority of things reported about Trump are based on a single sentence he tweeted a year ago, the opinion of a random expert, or anonymous leaks, all surrounded by 5000 words of editorial.

The current question being struggled over by the news media is about whether he is mentally ill, as you can tell by going to http://news.google.com and searching for "mentally ill" (not "Trump mentally ill" just "mentally ill.")

They've determined that he's not, although they've found half a dozen psychiatrists and experts who either say that he is, or that they can't say whether he is or isn't due to professional standards, or say that he suffers from a personality disorder, and that the Trump debate should move on to whether personality disorders are actually mental illness, or another class of disturbance. Nevertheless, it might be a positive step to install a psychiatrist to continually evaluate the president in order to remove from power if he shows signs of the illness of narcissism.

So what they're reporting is probably true; Donald Trump is probably not mentally ill, and it's probably not appropriate for psychiatrists to say that he is. Why they needed 50 billion articles about it in the last 5 days? Probably just being thorough about it.

>So have six friends buy an apartment and split airbnb?

I love how you make sound like it's no big deal to have six people split on an expensive capital asset like real estate, all to get around an AirBnB law.
As far as the CPU goes, try re-running sysbench with --num-threads=2. Since you get two cores, if your app can take advantage of that, the speed is about the same as the others.
They are not necessarily at the beginning. However if they are interesting, then they will draw visitors (tourists) which will lead to opening lodgings for them because enough of them like to stay close to places they like. This will then lead to higher rent prices for reasons already mentioned in articles so eventually, if area is popular enough, previous habitants can't afford to live there anymore.

This does not have to happen, but it does rely on relative draw of the area and therefore its relative "dullness" to visitors. In effect they can't be too externally interesting to survive.
There's some research indicating that music can induce positive emotions in comatose patients. Maybe other stuff like having family visits , watching TV(?) Can do the same .

The main problems I thought they should have is isolation - but maybe one sided family/nurse visits is enough to deter that ?

And also no control - but this doesn't necessarily leads to depression if you learn to accept it, and if the environment is good.

While your sentiment is partially right, it is important to note that in Prague, after the fall of the iron curtain, local currency was very very cheep compaired to foreign currency. And normal Czechs just didn't have any money anyways. So the problem in Prague is not caused by Airbnb. It has existed for about 10-15 years.
I've had a small course on programming for kids in ages 9-12. The biggest challenge by far is the setup part. I asked them to type an URL and they ended up googling it instead.

Real estate is one of the best ways to make long-term wealth. Homes in many regions of California have increased 3-4x since 1996. Unless you bought at a really bad time (2005-2007) almost anyone who holds real estate comes out ahead in 10 years vs. renting. Renting is a really lousy deal in the long-run and as possibly the short-run due to the very high deposits required on some properties, which lock the renter for very long periods and the rent increase always exceeds inflation.

Avoid foreign real estate though unless you are very careful
Why would it be "wasteful" to prioritize quality of life for residents over investors' profits? Some cities (like Copenhagen) structure their housing mainly as owner-occupied cooperatives for a reason. A functioning city that works for its residents is valuable, and it'd be wasteful to throw one away in hopes of speculating on some kind of Disneyland attraction.
Lending against land is how we create money. The entire system sees all productivity gains flow to land owners. It's killing the West.
If you don't have control over the heating being on, a cracked window goes a long way. My (very, very dated) dorm my freshman year ran the heat 24/7, often up to 85 degrees. Cracking a window kept it a pleasant 72 degrees. Wasteful? Absolutely. But worked with the constraints given.
Who knows. As I said those who grew up in a rural setting know that things like raw milk are incredibly delicious and good for you. The absolute diluted sweetened garbage they label as "milk" in the store is vomit inducing.

Same thing with the lies the federal government spews about eggs. Which when you have your own chickens you realize that one, eggs are not white, ever wonder how they get white? You should, and the yolks are a bright orange not yellow and taste so much better.

It's like looking at a farm raised salmon fillet in the store sitting next to a wild salmon fillet. The farm raised is pale and sick looking.

There is a reason the government has lied to you about eggs and raw milk "safety". It's not about safety it's about protecting massive agribusiness. Period.

People before refrigeration and the FDA in the country were not dying from raw milk and unrefrigerated eggs. Downvoting me for this is ignorant. It's a fact. And half the people from the U.K. posting are telling you basically the same thing about eggs I said. Store bought eggs in the US are sickly and gross. Eggs from your own chicken or a neighbors keep for a very long time unrefrigerated.
Airbnb already has a whole lot of listings out there lying about the address because the people that put the apartment for rent don't want the building association to know that they are renting. They often just claim that the apartments for rent is in an office building in the same block.

Therefore, Airbnb doesn't really verify addresses at all, and lets people bypass any system that relies on this. This happens in major markets where Airbnb has people on site too: A good chunk of listings in San Francisco's SoMa are doing this.

Thus, I have little faith that any system to prevent breaking local laws based on addresses will go anywhere unless Airbnb does a lot more work to verify the accuracy of listings.
Yes, it is a good thing when the rich enjoy the best quality real estate and normal working people live in slums on the outskirts of the city and commute for hours into the city. Normal people deserve to live on the outskirts, because they aren't smart and hard working like the rich.

Sheaf models are one of the most useful tools in logic and I'll definitely read this paper once I have more time again. One thing that seems strange to me based on the overview video is the focus on sheafs on a topological space.

Is there a reason why topological spaces are sufficient to model sensor integration?

> Why would it be "wasteful" to prioritize quality of life for residents over investors' profits?

Because investors' profits don't come from nowhere. You're prioritising the residents' wishes over the tourists' wishes, despite the fact that the tourists are willing to pay more to use the property. That's not fair.
Not specific to the service, but I have to thank whoever writes DigitalOcean's tutorials / help pages, they are very well written.

I, for one, am pretty good friends with my flatmate and it works for me.

My girlfriend barely talks to her flatmates and it works good too.

But she explicitly searched for a flat with people who aren't into the whole "best friends party together" stuff.

And I explicitly asked a friend if he wanted to start sharing a flat with me.

Same with relationships. I do polyamory and many people think I'm crazy and they couldn't live like that, but it works for me.

Or I work from home and people tell me they need an office otherwise they wouldn't get into "work mode", that's why they could never work from home.

Wherever you look it's always the same pattern. People have different ways of living and that's okay.

Definitely a lawyer - a new one, since if you were satisfied with the first one you wouldn't need to come to HN.

Some questions to ask the new lawyer:

- Under applicable law, would you prevail in court to get your fees if you could only fully "perform" your obligations to contractor's satisfaction if you violated law? I'd expect answer to be yes, which could be noted to contractor's in-house counsel.

- Under applicable law, in your situation, if the contractor continues to sit on the complaint without action, is there any possible argument that you would be required to escalate to the bank or a regulator? That's critical info for your own protection and also could inform what your lawyer says to contractor's in-house counsel, if you go that route.

A Talk on Excessive Focus on Engineering Education in India
Intel chips use a lower base clock frequency when they're running AVX code than when they're running non-AVX code for the very reasons you mention. In Intel's example[1] they talk about a base freqeuncy of 2.3 GHz without using AVX dropping to 1.9 with AVX[1]. That drop isn't much in frequency terms but you also have to figure in the voltage drop that the lower frequency allows you to cut power much more than you cut frequency. The end result is somewhere between power dropping with the cube or square of frequency depending on whether active or leakage power is dominating. Which is to say that they can save between 30% and 40% of their power by reducing the frequency at the same time they're lighting up a large area of new silicon. So I assume they chose the specific frequencies so that they're always hitting the same TDP whether they're making us of AVX or not.

Of course, performance scales not to far from linearly here so going to AVX is a large net performance win, as you say. It's just that I'd assume equal power consumption on non-AVX loads.

While this is true, it conviently leaves out the important question: Who pushed for those regulations?

Many of those regulations that affect hotels were pushed by the large hotel groups - regulation is simply the most cost effective way for large multinationals companies to keep out competition.

The regulation act as a floor that essentially ensures that only projects of $X millions of capitalization makes sense to pursue, which by default favors the large hotel chains.
