Tahoe is a tough market. Prices should be way higher for what you get in my opinion. I'm not in Tahoe but I can sleep 16+ people at my place and I have more problems when I have the price lower.

I had guests complain once that there were a few things in one of the bedroom closets (still tons of storage for their stuff), some things in a small pile in the garage and some food in the cupboards (usually have ketchup, hot chocolate, popcorn, etc).

I had my head of turnover go over and chat with them in person and removed all the stuff just to be nice. She told them that some of the things were destined for Goodwill and then the lady who was complaining started picking through it and her tone completely changed! They also showed up with a small towable U-haul full of stuff and a crazy amount of canned food for a short trip. This was a big trip for them.

So sometimes people are just unrealistic. Complaining about some things in the bedroom closets - you're staying at my house! And the stuff in the pantry is for you to use!

However, some people are spending a lot more of their money proportionately and they have different expectations because of this. They want everything to be perfect. Maybe they're being guilted by their spouse or family for spending that amount. They'll complain about really trivial things.

I don't really like instant book because anyone can book. You have to do legal discrimination - AirBnB doesn't do much to help and hosts are often hesitant to leave bad reviews on renters for some reason.

We had a group of 30+ sorority girls message us wanting to stay. Legally we're approved in our area for 16; if you're doing it right and you pay your TOT taxes and are registered - you get approved based on square footage. So of course we declined their request. If they instant booked, I'm not going to be able to kick them out, I'll get more wear and tear, and I could be fined by the city or get my license revoked. Not worth it.

I see why Airbnb is pushing instant book but not participating helps me minimize risk.
And then we will have compatibility tests for browsers that implement how they read SOTA differently. Yuck
International borders fall under federal jurisdiction, so I don't think your point is as strong as you think, but I'll play this game...

So, you support states rights? Tell me why abortion is a federal issue then?
I'm not saying that they cover every use-case, just that now they have a very clear targeting.

Some of the major postwar US innovations — particularly in the space program — came not from European immigrants who fled the Nazis but rather from German immigrants who were the Nazis.

The schools aren't the problem? How do you think the parents got into a position where they don't push their kids to succeed? Have you been to an inner-city school? How about a school in Mississippi or South Carolina?

The government defunded the schools and created a culture of anti-intellectualism. Fixing education is just about as perfect a solution you can get to the myriad of problems this country faces.

There are lots of reasons to prefer Google, but ultimately there is one, single reason I want to switch:

The ability to cap costs.

With AWS, by the time you get a billing alarm, you could be thousands of dollars in the hole and there's nothing you can do about it. Avoiding that risk will help me sleep a little better.
Every now and then I have to train models (mostly neural networks) that bypass captchas.

My company provides web automation in Brazil, not for spam, not for marketing purposes. Sometimes the client has a website (like an intranet) that she wants to automate through screen scraping. I know it sounds stupid, but that is pretty frequent.

The models are fast (most captchas solved under 100ms in AWS Lambda) and accurate (95 to 100%). I have about 40 different captchas being solved this way.

My team is still working on a solution to nocaptcha recaptcha. The problem for me is not solving the challenges, but submitting them like a human would do.

I'm progressing with chromium headless. As more and more sites add this captcha, I need to find a solution to automate it. And I'm confident I will find.
Boo fucking hoo
We started in 2014 with a Ruby on Rails monolith and Angular frontend, both of which were good ways to move fast while we were very small. We use Webpack to build our frontend apps, and serve them using the Rails Asset Pipeline.

Within your MVP how did you handle authentication between your Angular apps and your Rails backend? I know you implemented Paladin to handle auth between your new microservices but I'm curious what auth looked like in your MVP.

Thanks!
This is nothing new. I remember an article/paper about the same thing but with pin pads.

Keep in mind, it only works for a very short amount of time as the surface cools down quickly. I don't think it's an attack vector you should worry about.

You can just as easily shoulder-surf the user as he unlocks the phone. It works even better with the "stroke gestures" that is common on android devices - most users don't disable the "draw line" option... it's much easier to spot and remember than a pin pad entry :D

To be pedantic, that's not "historical fiction", that's "alternate history fiction".

Historical fiction is like the books by Ken Follett, about medieval Europe. They're set in that time, as we understand it historically, but the characters and events are fictional.

What you're describing is alternate history: it's fictional work that assumes something went very differently at some point in the past, and then attempts to extrapolate from there how history turned out. For instance, suppose the US had never gotten involved in WWI; how would the later 20th century have turned out? Or suppose Al Gore had won in 2000; how would things be different now?
It's way easier for someone to hack up an acceptable new UI for org-mode (whatever that looks like) using the existing underlying Emacs org-mode code/runtime than it is to hack up a new UI and completely replace all the Emacs code & org-mode.

You can run Emacs headless, it has C extension support now, your Mac app could start it headless and communicate with it over a socket or as a network process. Multiple Emacs modes do this to make Emacs itself talk to other programs (e.g. mu4e <-> mu, gud <-> gdb), there's no reason you can't do it the other way around.
It sounds like you're against it because there's a huge market for it...

Try hosting a web site that serves Iranian people or a variety of other embargoed countries on GCP. You can't, nor will you find any hint of it documented anywhere, or any legal indication things must be this way.

At the simplest level when I buy compute time that looks like everybody else's compute time, I don't want to find after the fact that its provisioning is entangled in some weird corporate ideology that is now impacting my end users, left waiting to be discovered by the unsuspecting victim long after they've made plans around GCP.

(This is a true story from 2 months back, same shit used to happen with App Engine all the time)
DNA information in our bodies is constantly being checked, and if necessary, repaired; that way the redundancy provided by the double part of "double helix" does in fact become a very high degree of fault tolerance (and correction.) Maybe it's time to imitate nature, and to decide that constant inspection and repair are part of the storage task. This would mean that nearly all faults were detected and corrected before the information was requested, as with DNA.
Sorry it's not clear, but does google cloud sql for postgres have PITR or plan to support it in near future?
So two things come to mind:

- this reminds of the ancient Labs feature in Gmail where you could add stuff like favicon that shows unread email count

- is there going to be a Gmail plugin store?
Yeah but did you win the Putnam tho?
Thinking of it that way for single-node configurations (or static collections of multiple nodes) makes sense, yes.

A lot of the promise of GCE and GCP generally come from on-demand scalability, autoscaling, serverless, etc. Those become much more relevant as projects scale from a small set of fairly static resource requirements to larger and more dynamic usage. Take a hypothetical online retailer -- they might need few hundred cores at night while their users are asleep, a few thousand during the day, and tens of thousands on, say, black Friday. GCE lets you do that kind of scaling as-needed rather than having to provision far in advance (although there are pricing advantages if you can commit to cores and RAM over the long term).

(note: I work on GCE)
For what it's worth, I wrote that viral article about the Jet content winner (http://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/08/this-pennsylvania-guy-probabl...) and afterward, Jet pretty seriously clamped down on who would talk to me. I would love to talk to Jet employees anonymously about how it all went down! It was super interesting.
But it's also important to judge people by what they say, i.e. people saying "he doesn't actually grab women by the pussy, that's just locker-room talk."
>I challenge you to find translators for those languages in Medieval Europe

This is the Western European point of view I referenced in my other comment. These works were also being preserved in Latin and Greek in Constantinople for the entire duration of the Middle Ages in Western Europe and the rise and fall of the Golden Islamic Age.
I'm pretty sure this is still a trial and they will eventually charge for it. I seem to remember reading something like that when it was first announced.
This is probably a strange comment, but this morning, I uninstalled a game called Ingress. It's a mobile game similar to Pokemon Go (made by the same company, Niantic) except you capture the "pokestops" called "portals" in this game and defend them and destroy the other teams' portals. There are two global teams, blue and green.

I installed it as a way to play with my gf, and I didn't realize I joined the (globally and locally) losing team, green, to be on her team. In about 11 days since installing it, I've advanced to just before level 7, the level before the last (level 8) with significant powerups. By contrast, my gf reached that level after about a month and a half of play. In these last 11 days, I've tracked around 70 to 80 km (~47 mi.) of walking and I've lost about 3 lbs.

While some of that is great for my health (been trying to slim down), I had become quite anxious. Being on the losing team (by a factor of two in terms of control of portals and area in the city, it was a factor of ten the day I started), I had literally become paranoid throughout the day that any moment, a notification would come in that the portals I controlled would come under attack, and I would have to defend them. Given we were on the losing team and the winning team had more resources, it was a challenging but exciting fight. A few of the advanced green players had taken out time to give me rare items when they observed my advance.

I'd been thinking of just stopping thus despite how much fun it was and how much I love walking and seeing my city in general. When I saw this article this morning, I kid you not; sure it was kind of cheesy, but it triggered a few minutes of introspection and I eventually decided to uninstall the app for now.

So, no, I'm probably not going to turn off all notifications and be crazy like the author (I have ig notifications off for likes and don't get frequent notifications in general), but at least for me, articles that at least raise the awareness of such issues do at least push some people ever so slightly in the right direction. It actually did it for me.

Having a good ecology of ratings and reviews is definitely important. It's probably a hard problem because you're rating people, Sasha or Adam. It's rude to say bad things about them publicly because they didn't had dishes in the sink or whatnot. Civility is important. OTOH, ratings and reviews need to convey information.

As a user, Id rather they err on the side of amateurish. Airbnb can't be the whole market. It works best for recreational travel. Even people who buy or rent to Airbnb generally do it on a small scale.

Why didn't they use S3 or GCS as the backing store? Why do we need upload & sync? Seems like you only need just upload and go.

I guess I'm not sure what your argument is then. Yes childcare can be tough to find and it can be very expensive depending on where you live, but if you're saying its okay to hold a full time remote job and care for your child at the same time, I guess we will have to agree to disagree. I dont' think that would be fair to your child or your employer.
I recommend that everyone use an extended-length PIN for your phone. Both Android and iPhone support it. Mine is 12 digits; a bit of extra time, but vastly more difficult to brute-force or shoulder-surf.

I don't mean to take it into the ideological realm. I can't disagree with what you said, except the money spent on foreign wars/intervention was pretty ramped up during Bush II and Obama.
But it basically is flipping isn't it? Maybe they can work out how to flip a little cheaper with technology but this model only works because flipping is so hot right now.

It's the same reason we don't have Burger King in Australia. We have Hungry Jack's.

When burger king tried to start its brand in Australia way back when, they were unable to register the burger king licence in all states because in one state a man already had a long running burger place by that name.

So instead of having every state bar one with burger kings, they instead opted for a new name entirely.

mdoc is the language used for all BSD system manuals, which is certainly more consistent than writing man(7)/roff source.

At least mandoc(1) lets you convert cleaner mdoc(7) into other formats used by other systems, including man(7). But also pdf/ps/html and more recently, markdown.

I've been developing on iOS for 7 years and Swift for 3. (Half of my 8 store APIs are in Swift)

While I agree with most of your criticisms I'll say it's never taken me more than an hour to update any code base when Swift versions change, it's a mostly automatic process.

Also I'd say anyone doing iOS development in Objective C instead Swift nowadays is doing themselves a grave mis-service. It's much easier and faster to build higher quality apps in Swift.
An API that might go away in 5 years is much much better than hacking the DOM. I wouldn't base a business around either, but I can think of some fun and useful add-ons I could build

>Just thinking of handling steel tools with un-gloved hands //

Nearly all the mechanics I see working now in the UK have gloves, tight fitting "latex" ones. I suspect it's in part to do with evidence suggesting used engine oil is strong carcinogen, and also because most garages have open fronts here. There are plenty of other fluids knocking around you don't really want to be in contact with a lot; also even light latex gloves will stop some scuffs and nicks. I've used them myself occasionally, when it's very cold (just above 0degC/freezing) they help a lot.

Gloves seem more common the more expensive the service is too, so it might be a company mandated 'health and safety' protection.

Instance hours come into play when, for example, you run multiple versions of an app that get traffic, multiple instances for handling high load, or if you have separate front- and back-end instances. A typical user only has one instance going at a time, so no more than 24 instance-hours. (Instance hours have been a thing for at least a couple of years.)

Shadow makes it unclear, but my bet is on a space ravioli. Better symmetry.
Very true on the financing, and how it connects to our business. There have been plenty of companies in the past whose business model is to buy distressed houses and flip them; Opendoor is coming from a very different angle. We'd like to buy and sell houses at normal prices, do a lot more volume, and make smaller margins on each transaction than the traditional "flipping" business.

Because of that model, it's very important that we (1) have access to a lot of capital, and (2) renovate and resell the property quickly, so we can put the money to use again.

Wikileaks is dramatically misrepresenting what Umbrage is. There are descriptive documents that explain exactly what it is and how it's meant to be used that were also leaked. Even the Intercept, who aren't exactly friendly to intelligence sources took umbrage (ha) with WL's characterization:

> It would be possible to leave such fingerprints if the CIA were re-using unique source code written by other actors to intentionally implicate them in CIA hacks, but the published CIA documents don’t say this. Instead they indicate the UMBRAGE group is doing something much less nefarious.

> They say UMBRAGE is borrowing hacking “techniques” developed or used by other actors to use in CIA hacking projects. This is intended to save the CIA time and energy by copying methods already proven successful. If the CIA were actually re-using source code unique to a specific hacking group this could lead forensic investigators to mis-attribute CIA attacks to the original creators of the code. But the documents appear to say the UMBRAGE group is writing snippets of code that mimic the functionality of other hacking tools and placing it in a library for CIA developers to draw on when designing custom CIA tools.
