The retractions are seen and remembered by a tiny percentage of the people who incorporate the original story into their world view and continue to spread it, and given a tiny fraction of the coverage (in time and space) of the original story. If not for the administration constantly talking about it since, it would still be perceived as true.
I also wouldn't discount the trivially available 5X (or higher) leverage and tax benefits.

If SaaS businesses were like houses you could buy ~$30k in MRR for $200k down with the other $800k at 2% APR fixed over 30 years... a proposition which would not be untempting to many people on HN.
Thanks. It looks there are reasonably priced mini-ITX boards that support Skylake Xeons (a note to this that are considering this: v5 E3 (Skylake) use the same socket as Cores, but need a different chipset).

The 80W TDP worries me about though, cooling, noise and money/pollution wise (the extra 45W make around 400kWh/year).

Considering the CPU will be idle most of the time, do you have figures about the actual idle consumption of an E3 based machine?

I have a friend who rents out apartments on Airbnb in London, and the other people in the building _HATE_ that there are constantly new people around.
That doesn't contradict my post. Many people are trying to assert influence at once.
If you live near a large city with a big newspaper (i.e. Washington Post) you can often find volunteer software development and web designer opportunities for various organizations in their employment section. Just note that many are truly volunteer or offer a small stipend in exchange for your work. On the flip side these can be great opportunities for someone just getting started to build references, a portfolio, and gain experience.
Its sensible to limit that use because otherwise you'll end up with entire cities in which no one can afford to live, which you need both to provide services to the tourists and to provide tax income to keep the city running.

I don't agree. I live in the world biggest facebook user city, but I find that facebook is all of their life. If VR technology was settled before, I couldn't imagine how they live.

Oh, I have moved out of that city to a peaceful city for about 3 years now.
Some countries (like the UK) have a widely used address registry rather than freeform addresses. And most online shopping services have figured this out (even multinational ones that ship to many countries), so I doubt a company as large as AirBnB would have technical trouble doing so if it really wanted to. The way it works when I order online: I first enter my postal code, then it shows me a drop-down box with the valid addresses in that postal code (there are exactly 16 of them), then I choose one of those. Online merchants like it because it reduces chances of fraud/misdeliveries/etc. (their contracts with parcel delivery services might also require it).
Not at all. It's pretty hard to be objectively truthful. Even if one achieves it the bias filters of the reader will Colour it somehow anyways. In any case truly objective news would be very drab to read indeed.

Do they require you to send in your documents (drivers license, utility bill, etc)? OVH required I send mine in to pay my next invoice after a few months of paying on time with no abuse complaints (nor doing anything that would generate such). I dumped them in the end :/

(OTOH, I've used one of these type of providers listed in the post for a few years without them demanding my papers so maybe it's just an OVH thing?)
I laughed at that too. It literally says "English" :D
With the -U types, technology gains have been invested in lowering TDP, making for smaller and longer running laptops.

E.g. with my last laptop change, I went from a 35W TDP i7-M to a 15W TDP i7-U, while still gaining some performance.

Laptops with 35W/45W CPUs still exist, but they use e.g. the quadcore i7-6700HQ.
>What should the news flash say? "Run from the nearest banana, person, airplane, or mountain." //

The news story should say "slightly elevated background radiation levels detected across Europe" and have an spokesman from the nuclear industry and a doctor quoted saying it's about as harmful as walking past a banana.

The fact we can't trust the media to report on something without inciting chaos is pretty awful.

Your position appears to be: we can't let the press report on interesting environmental anomalies because it could cause a panic. Meh.
I once rented a flat in a conservative housing society in Pune (for those unfamiliar, India has extremely Victorian attitudes to sex), and some other people living there _HATED_ the fact that I quietly enjoy the company of lady guests that I'm not married to.

In the US I'm sure you can find people who _HATE_ when their neighbors enjoy the company of guests that they found on Grindr.

Does that mean we should shut down Grindr (or prevent Grindr from giving 1 person more than 1 match/month) or pass laws against these activities?

I'm from Ireland and I don't refrigerate eggs. Growing up, eggs were always in the cupboard not the fridge.

No, I'm claiming it is misreported out of context and that your question is irrelevant as to what the news claims.

The claim reported was that he is an anti-semite -- based on the posting of that picture, which he did in jest, to show how easy it is to exploit a service like Fiverr to make people do horrible things. It was openly intended to be an example of a horrible thing.

If the original video wasn't enough, he explains the whole situation (with even worse media examples) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwk1DogcPmU

So, yeah, this is the worse kind of fake news reporting, and people mostly buy it because they dislike pewdipie (or however it's written) or envy his success. And some for the cheap click-bait value of "unmasking" a popular youtuber as anti-semite, e.g.: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/feb/15/youtub... (while they just unmask themselves as click-hungry hypocrites).
I don't get your comment. Assuming we are not talking about public repos here. OP's employer did set up a private github repo where contractors collaborate on bank's code. This cannot be searched by google. The problem OP has is that the code should not be hosted outside bank's own infrastructure and contractors should not have access before they pass background checks. According to my understanding.
Sorry, I have a vile hatred of AirBNB. Housing is a basic human right. Call me a dangerous socialist if you like.

Well no, you'll have cities with higher prices in the touristic core, and it'll just be people with lower incomes who get pushed out. That will also help with your second problem.

You can pay for services by charging property taxes. since the value of land will go up (thanks to it being used for it's most productive use) and lower income people getting pushed out (such people are more likely to be a net drain on resources), you'll actually have more money to pay for services.

I use wxFormBuilder and export the GUI using XRC (instead of Python). I know it's not exactly 'dynamic', but it's pretty close.

First I build my whole GUI project with all the widgets in wxFormBuilder, and export the project as XRC (xml representation of the GUI widgets and hierarchy).

Then My wxAPP (Pyhton or C++) loads the XRC and builds every widget contained contained within my project. This is done by a simple call to 'xrc.XmlResource('mygui.xrc')'

This makes it super easy to maintain and test my GUI changes, without having to sift through a bunch of 'AddSizer...' GUI specific code. Building a GUI in code and maintaining it adds quite a cost and becomes quite tedious quickly.

wxFormBuilder does tend to crash once in a while, but otherwise allows for a fairly smooth GUI building experience, while decoupling your App code from your GUI 'scaffolding' concerns.
Oh great! I use credit cards everywhere (including previously with OVH) so no issue on my end. How long have you been with them?
Why is it necessarily the case that the non-touristic areas are dull?
You say that like it's a bad thing, but if that is the most productive use of property (i.e. the use that people are willing to pay most for), then I think that is what should happen, and I don't see any issue with AirBnB facilitating this.
I want to give a plug for Vultr here. Compared to their competitors, IMHO they're really good and really under-rated.

I've had very good performance from their servers, and their 14 datacenters allows you to spread out to regions when you need to. They also charge one of the lowest bandwidth overages, $0.02/GB. Still too high, but industry-wise it's the best you can get for VPSes right now. AWS for contrast is $0.09/GB unless you're a huge company and can get the bulk rates.

Vultr also has some basic DDoS mitigation options. They're not the best at mitigation (10Gbps scrubbing, vs OVH which can handle a terabit now), but what they provide is far superior to nothing. If you get a DDoS on the other options, prepare to have your server null routed for days. (And no, the Cloudflare free plan is not real DDoS scrubbing and not an option for me, sorry. I like my SSL terminated on my OS, not someone else's.)

My favorite advantage Vultr provides though is that they, unlike all of these other services, allow you to use BGP and your own IP addresses if you have them. I no longer take any hosting providers seriously (including AWS and Google Cloud) unless they can provide this https://www.vultr.com/features/bgp/
And of course the accusers know this - it's Politics 101.

There's an old saying: "Throw enough mud against the wall and some of it will stick."
These groups of people aren't playing on a fair field in the first place.

The citizens, who live and work in attractive city, pay hefty taxes to make the whole thing possible - running the public transport, collecting the garbage, keeping the running water and sewage operating.

Obviously taxation policies and city budgets vary a lot from place to place, but it's very common for these things to be funded by income taxes on the citizens salaries - which is fine with the citizens, but then why should to tourists get to come in and freeload off all the nice things paid for by those taxes?

In a parallel universe where all these services were paid for by taxes on property values or rents, I would agree with you - whoever wants to pay the most per night can have it, but in the real world the market is already skewed to start with.

Very much this. I replaced an old 6700HQ laptop with the latest 7500U and battery life is worlds better. My previous machine was lucky to go three hours, and that was intentionally throttling the CPU, while my new machine can go 4-5 hours pushing it hard, or all day if I'm not doing anything intensive.
Negative externalities. It's easy to imagine global utility decreasing (e.g. from the permanent resident's dissatisfaction with living next to short term rentals) despite it being marginally profitable for the property owner.

> I imagine this would throw out all insurance liability if things go wrong.

AirBNB doesn't offer insurance - it offers a "guarantee", which is legally different in an important sense.

In any case, if you're looking to rent out your place full-time, you probably don't really care about AirBNB's guarantee anyway.
>I don't take my kids to movies to prepare them for life, I take them for fun, to be entertained.

Yeah, let's produce more fragile snowflake adults that can't handle life, and can't understand movies and art either, unless it is merely "entertainment". Because that has worked so well in this past few generations.

>Sounds like you either don't have kids or you're prepping them for doomsday.

Or you know, am using millennia old best practices of preparing them for life, for which art, storytelling and (this last century) movies has been one of the best ways.

Instead of feeding them the art-equivalent of McDonalds, which is bad for their soul and for their upbringing.

Tourists spend out of proportion to local citizens? Most towns welcome tourism, even advertise for it. I'm guessing its because businesses thrive, tax revenues rise, and the community prospers.
You're assuming that the market is something "natural" and thus fair. GP may not agree with this. It is certainly debatable.

I have been writing software, pro-bono, for non-profits for over a decade now. I get most of my "work" through idealist.org, which is a trove of opportunities. You might have to monitor for a few months before you find just the right project for you. Be patient.

My most recent gig, however, was found through the United Nations volunteer program. I can't find the link atm but I'm sure it'll come up for you with a bit of Googling.

It has been incredibly rewarding, and you might be able to write off some of your computer, conference, books, internet and travel expenses.

I love this kind of work for many reasons, but from the developer's perspective it's rewarding because the client is always very grateful for what you are doing and there's never a deadline, so there's always time to do it right and not take shortcuts.

I have traveled to some very interesting places, albeit mostly (but not always) at my own expense, with this work. I am fortunate to be in a financial position that I can do it, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) Version 1.1
The incentive is to publish a story first. At the speed of information spreading on the internet that means no time for fact checking any more. A story can reach peak viral before a correction or retraction is even considered. The original story has already gone viral and and may continue spreading long after a correction is made and the media are fully aware of this. It allows them to claim to update stories with facts as they appear but also allows them to publish unsubstantiated stories quickly to get views with no repercussions.

You're right that the administration are constantly making stories worse for themselves in how they react, I completely agree. But it's not a case of MSM = bad and Trump admin = good. They both have serious flaws.

When I look at my Facebook feed I don't see a flood of corrected stories and retractions unless they have an invested interest in that particular story and happen to support the side being wronged. My Trump supporting friends don't pipe up when the MSM is unfair to a liberal candidate and vice versa.
Well, you're obviously costing them money. (I will say that I personally think it's a bit abusive of you - I mean 20 GB would be one thing, but "20+ TiB"... I mean it's like going to an all you can eat buffet and eating 70 whole lobsters. 7 is one thing - but 70?) At least you're giving them free press here. :)

On that note - how are latency and CPU access? Can you run a fast, performant site on it? (If you have actual numbers it would be great, such as ms to serve first page, for example, on an actual install.) Maybe some people here can help subsidize your excesses by hosting their tiny web apps on it... ;) (And knowing that if their site ever does blow up - suddenly spike in traffic - they'll be covered without huge bills.)

My experience was that subletting allowed otherwise hungry poverty line individuals live well when work was hard to come by. Adding to that the volume of extra tourist money in the cities is net positive for local businesses, which in turn creates more work too. The answer to airbnb is not to limit it but simply to build more apartments. This is not good for the existing wealthy property owners as it could bring down the value of their assets so we get hardcore regulation instead.

The negative externality is, from what I can tell, "I don't like it when my neighbor engages in activities in the privacy of his own home that don't affect me".

When did this become a valid reason to regulate an activity? Can I use this as a reason to regulate other private activities as well? If not, why not?
Repackaging Exceptions in Streams
Sure, but at the end of it, your opinion that Snowden is a hero or not is either grounded in fact or not. As you point out, "hero" as a concept is sensitive to perspectival factors, but it is possible to make those explicit, no? (likewise, If I feel cold, then that is a fact, despite it being inescapably subjective). The issue is, then, why are we inclined to assert that he is (or not) a hero "simpliciter", when the truth is more complicated than that? We might not be entitled to claim as much as we want.

> A person's bias and moral compass determines which way is the one they choose to care about. And who are you to tell them that their opinion -- based on the same set of data -- is "wrong?" That's just called having a difference of opinion.

Somebody's moral compass is not just an irreducibly subjective element, but it is also normatively sensitive to facts. Our weighting of the data might have biases, but those biases are surely appropriate or not as well? (I don't mean to imply that we can resolve in principle the issue of whether our biases are correct or not, which we might not; see the problem of Deep Disagreement [1])

So yes, I agree with you when you say that the problem is how to live with each other given our limitations to resolve disagreements. However, I think underplaying the role of facts in this needlessly perpetuates them. The sort of disagreements we face is not just of the kind you just gave an example of: people disagree in ways in which they don't even agree on the same set of data. See the case of climate change denial, for example. Those are not simply having a "difference of opinion".

The story is true, Trump used race and creed as wedge issues when he was working to open Mar-a-Lago as a social club (it had been a private estate). The part where I believe Jeffrey Lord is a sycophant is the part where he presents it as Trump nobly fighting for integration in Palm Beach, rather than Trump using accusations of racism to smear the town council and make it difficult for them to act to restrict his plans.

http://www.snopes.com/so-you-think-you-know-donald-trump/

Just to be clear, I don't think Donald Trump is malignantly racist, I think he's more or less nihilistic when it comes to people that aren't him. I believe that if he thought it would have been more profitable/easier to open a segregated club, he would have done that.
Off and on for a few months. Nothing too extensive.

> Many installations in Europe and neighboring countries are allowed to reject iodine-131 in the air.

Given the very short half-life of 131I being just 8 days and the daughter isotope 131Xe being stable this is a really weird policy.

There's no good reason to force nuclear installations to keep 131I in storage for, say, 80 days to dilute its activity down to 0.1%. Heck there's no good reason to release it it all.

The decay product is a noble gas, so you even get the separation chemistry for free. Iodine is a halogen so just let it react with some alkaline (pass it through some caustic solution) upon which is forms ionic bonds and turns into saline solution. As soon as the 131I decays into 131Xe it will recombine with an electron and gas out.
