I meant that it's not sustainable because it takes a lot of work to welcome the guests, clean the flat and sheets all the time. It gets to a full time job really quickly if you have a few flat, and they better be in the same building.

Also, the price is expensive for guests... but as host, AirBnb takes 20-30% commission and you don't get paid for empty times. There are lots of emptiness if you do short rents.
I think it's more accurate to say that women's rights in underdeveloped countries and dictatorships are lagging quite a bit. Whether Muslim or Christian.

Yes. You don't see the implications for advertisement industry and the ability to mandates standard content layout for publisher and web designers.
Once they take a whiff of "standard canvas" benefits there will be a push to make it the next platform, like e.g. Jquery, react or hip new framework you like, except it will have commercial advantage for adopting it due advertisement being unblockable and reduced need for compatibility for other browser: they will be reduced to JS/Canvas renderers.
Denmark 18:00 right now and still nothing
While I agree with your assessment of "pretty people in pretty places" as it applies to the giant Instagram accounts, it really doesn't apply to most people who live this lifestyle. Living in a van allows you to not need to worry about making rent or anything like that. Most people living the life have some form of normal work income. They work as campground hosts, or as ski instructors, or raft guides, or park rangers etc. I'm just saying recognize that there is a huge bias of, the people you know of doing this life are the ones who advertise it on social media, but there are an order of magnitude more people who live in the same accommodations without the same source of income.
Wow, wikihouse is pretty awesome!

Yeah, the idea of core features being open source makes sense. What I'm aiming for is that PropertyWebBuilder becomes something like WordPress for the real estate sector - a base on which value-added functionality can be built. That extra functionality can be commercial but I want to core product to remain free.
I have 2 Amiga 2000s, 2 Amiga 1200s, 1 Amiga 500 and a Commodore 64.

I have 2 machines hooked up at all times attached to C= CRTs. I sometimes need to rotate the Amigas due to software buggery.

The C64 is always ready to go.
> turn them on .. and .. hmm .. what .. exactly ..

Believe it or not, the BBS scene is quite large and healthy. It's run by (mostly) 40-somethings on 8-bit and 16-bit machines. Hackers have made (and sell) fantastic WiFi options that essentially let your 8-bit machines (Apple, Commodore, TRS-80, etc.) telnet into the BBS. I use it for social more than Facebook. Yes, they are technically strangers, but like-minded and into the same thing.

There's no reason these old machines need to stay in boxes like some scene from Indiana Jones. They can be used, and enjoyed, daily. My Amiga is used for gaming/productivity. My C64 is (mostly) used for social interaction. And a little gaming. :)
You're mixing meanings of discrimination. Barring women from participating in an event is completely separate from how prizes are handed out. Mixing these two senses of the word 'discrimination' like your doing is equivocation. "Isn't it odd how people argue for equal rights but are perfectly willing to only turn left in some cases." No - it's not odd at all. Words can have multiple senses.
The term 'fair weather soldier' is a colloquialism that describes people who are present for the "fun and glamour" but leave as soon as things get difficult or un-glamorous.

Generally when a place is hip enough to attract people just so they can say "I work at X!" you'll get people for whom the only reason they work there is because it is hip and cool to do so. And when it starts being 'uncool' or 'lame' those same people will find the exits.

We have the Tsarnaev brothers to thank for anyone caring at all about the Boston Marathon, outside of the small community of marathoners.

Prior to that, the most memorable thing that happened with it was when Rosie Ruiz won it by taking the subway.

Similar situation here as well; live and work just a bit outside of the Boston metro area, driving in/out after work is definitely a deterrent.
When I have this sort of question, I like to use https://codereview.stackexchange.com/ . It's like StackOverflow but for code review...with the good and bad that being like StackOverflow implies. Basically, if the code works, it's likely to appropriate.

Good luck.
If I understood this right, it's playing in the same area as RancherOS, Container Linux, Project Atomic, etc, but with a even smaller footprint and more customizable. I like it.

Cuba still transmiting encoded messages to agents via shortwave radio

These would be good options, but to make it intuitive and not overly complex you probably need to group it into a few major use-cases. I recently rented a car and the built-in nav offered 4 route options that I'm pretty sure (tough to interpret some of the icons) broke down into: optimize for time, optimize for fuel, optimize for distance (don't know when I would choose this one - I would think trying to minimize wear on the car would be better when optimizing for fuel), optimize for turns. I think that last one could be improved for the towing use case you mentioned - I would often trade several minutes to make 3 right turns to avoid a left, but for the most part I'd also just like to get to some road and then not worry about any lane changes for a while. Maybe "fewest turns" and "fewest left turns" should be separate options. There's also a "no tolls" option on every nav system I've used, but I wish you could configure the trade-off there too- there's a dollar amount I'm willing to pay for every 10 minutes it saves me, depending on the day.
Dear USA Facts team, we would like to offer you few hints for public spending visualizations based on our experience. We are the creators of https://us.wikibudgets.org/w/united-states-budget-2016.

- Government spending is only a small part of the public finance. People need to see all public organisations: states and cities, departments, offices, bureaus and agencies, schools, hospital and prisons and obviously all public benefit corporations. If they spend our money we have the right to see their budgets.

- Governmental organisations borrow money outside of the government budget(!). This increases the government debt but does not show in the deficit. Just because the deficit is smaller than last year does not mean the debt is not growing faster.

- There is a world outside the US. The internet needs a one time stop for all public spending of the world, not just the US. Also you may want to connect the government receipts and expenditures from/to the international organisations, OSN, World Bank, the foreign aid etc.

- Public spending and receipts do not follow a tree hierarchy, it is a pseudograph. You will have to deal with so called offsetting receipts, extra budgetary fees, negative expenditures, positive taxes, transfers between organisations etc. We believe the only suitable visualisation style is a sankey diagram.

- There are huge size differences between individual budget items. Inside the executive branch you do not want to hide the $3 million sent to Marine Mammal Commission (https://us.wikibudgets.org/w/united-states-budget-2016?n=f22...) but you can not realistically show it next to the $7.52 billion sent to the Railroad Retirement Board (https://us.wikibudgets.org/w/united-states-budget-2016?n=3ca...). We solved this by a zoomable interface. (They call it the universe of public spending so let's give them a map!)

- The federal government does not even have a definite list of all governmental agencies. I am not kidding.

- You will never get all the data but you could build a wiki platform where city officials, school principals, government employees etc contribute with their bits and pieces. They can connect their receipts to the spendings of the superior organisations. If it does not match, citizens can investigate why. (If you want ordinary people to contribute with data you may need a human friendly editor too.)

- Different data dimensions will be useful to different people. Show the spending by agency, by programme, by function, by geography, by source etc. Let people combine the dimensions and create custom aggregates.

- Let people seamlessly share custom views and comparisons to social media (with relevant OG tags). We have a fake news industry to fight.

We wish you best luck.
When Rising Seas Transform Risk into Certainty
Honestly, if you don't like the way certain Meetups are organised, the quality of the talks, etc. you can always help to make them better. Just prepare a talk such that most of the attendees can learn something from it. I am sure most Meetups will be happy to have you!

Here in Vienna we have a couple of hands-on Meetups that require you to bring your laptop and actually do something. Less people attend - but those that come are usually very motivated. This is a good place/way to learn something new.
I used the Melexis MLX90260/MLX90261 back in December 2014 for some sensors research at work, and they were not very helpful and the documentation was appallingly ambiguous for important parts of the programming; plus, it offloads all the mathematics (not insignificant amounts of floating point and statistics) to your processor (not a good deal for embedded work). The output, once processed, though, was very accurate and provided for additional processing to make more use of the information than similar offerings.

The Panasonic Grid-Eye offering was much easier to use, and did not require additional processing power just to make use of the information.
> Is this benchmark open source? I'd be really interested to try it compared to something similar build in Qt or Gtk+.

Afraid it's not, currently the only working copy is closed-source whilst I work on rewriting it all into an open source repository. Having said that, I'm in no doubt that Qt or Gtk+ would be significantly faster than rendering what is essentially a local website.

> I really hate to think how it'd cope on an embedded device with an ARM processor. There's a marked difference to me between Atom and e.g. Sublime Text.

Reminds me of a joke told by a friend of mine:

Friend: "The thing I like about Atom is that it encourages you to write small files."

Me: "How does it do that?"

Friend: "Well, it crashes if you write more than a couple hundred lines."

Personally, I too do use Sublime Text. Not entirely sure how Atom is so slow, but it takes ten times longer to startup and five times longer to search through my files. Definitely caused me to switch away from it.

> but the fact remains that the UI is built on the DOM with interactions handled by JS

Excellent point, but I think if you're doing complex interactions that require a large amount of computing time then you shouldn't be using a program like Electron. For something like a mail application, not much changes. We actually never remove mail items, simply hide them from view, so we have one large render time at start-up and then almost none after that (displaying and hiding an element from view is incredible efficient). For something like atom, you have a significant amount more happening and you want just about everything to be instantaneous. Plus the fact that it's expected to be able to deal with large files consistantly without any hiccups.
NET Core Web CLI Tools: Cross-Platform Modular Component Development Web CLI
Definitely. Anytime this pops up I leave the site to never return. Why is CF doing this? Instead of preventing ddos you prevent actual users.
Thanks - I've forked it.

The 10k is now pretty much a moot point: if your original repo vanishes, there will still be forks of the project on Github.

Makes me wonder if they actually know how open source works?
Still surprising it's failing this hard given most of the data on the site is static (I think? Difficult to tell since almost none of the site loads).

Edit: tbh it's a shame they chose to do it all in react/js. I think this sort of data would be better served to the world as good old html for the most part - the build tool generated source for some of the pages on usafacts is horrendous.
Special GPSes for truckers are available from companies like TomTom and Garmin.

If truckers are choosing to save a few hundred bucks by using their smartphones, which don't have the trucker-specific features, surely the fault lies with the trucker for using a consumer-grade product, not with the consumer-grade product for not being professional-grade?
Interesting that everybody has instantly forgotten TextMate, which was the original inspiration for Sublime, and also suffered from the 'single developer === single point of failure' issues as Sublime.
I have eaten at Maurice's several times (it is delicious), but never knew the history. Confederate flags are common at businesses throughout the region, so it's hard to single out Maurice's as an outlier in this regard. Still an interesting read that will make me rethink whether to eat there.
I can easily get absorbed browsing 3D cities with Apple Maps on a large-screened iPad. The touch interface plus the beautiful imagery makes it a really great experience overall.
That's why you don't want to import from India. I do personally for my medications. I'm willing to risk it for drastically lower costs.
Any time the memory necessary to perform a similar action on similar data increases over time, people will call it a memory leak.

Ask HN: How did you get rid of social networks for good?
Markets are flooded everywhere and social media management is becoming a personal burden more than an opportunity to me as a casual user. I am therefore in the process of deleting my profile from most of the non-work-related websites. How did you do this in your past and how did it go for you some time down the line? Is it really advisable to detox and stay out for good? Thanks!
Stripe bought them recently (see https://www.indiehackers.com/blog/acquired-by-stripe ), so he's now working on it full time - logically the quality of the site content should go up.

>Imagine if you could analyze the results of public policy, with clean and detailed data, independently curated, without political or bureaucratic distortions.

I would not be so sure. There's no such thing as a point of view from nowhere.

Bias can influence the collection and computation of data just as easily as it can influence its presentation and framing. The old saying is "never trust a statistic you haven't faked yourself."

In some ways, presenting as neutral means that neither group is going to trust you. I'm not sure if it actually accomplishes anything.
So far it's a repo move from docker/docker to moby/moby with a note at the top of the README.
Patents distort what would happen in the absence of patents, but so does every other kind of property right. Markets in the absence of patents exhibit free rider effects, which are themselves undermine market efficiency.

There are multiple solutions for handling updates of native apps.

Managing updates to a cluster of backend servers is at least as difficult, because they usually have shared state (a database).
Colin McRae Rally 2.0 was released back in 2000 and used offline learning to train a driving model. Here's an interview with the engineer that made it:
http://www.ai-junkie.com/misc/hannan/hannan.html

In this modern day and age grabbing telemetry from multiplayer matches might be a good way of getting training data. Particularly for games that already measure player skill. For example creating AI for Hearthstone that played like each of the skill tiers. Periodic retraining on up to date data could then keep up with things like changes in the metagame.

> The fastest female marathoners do not even remotely compete with the top men - top men run just a smidge over 2 hours, with the top women running 2:15:00+

Random side note: Interestingly, the shortest and longest races (at least out of Olympic events) are where men and women are most competitive [0]. And, when Paula Radcliffe ran 2:15 in 2003, the marathon world records for men and women were only separated by ~8%.

Compared to weightlifting, where male and female world records are separated by >25%, running is pretty close. Swimming, too. Perhaps that's intuitive.

One interesting thing about street fighter 2 is that all of a the character's basic moves are different. I've learned from playing street fighter 2 that one matchup has a sort of bug, Zangief vs Blanca. Zangief requires to be close up to hit someone. Blanca's hard kick in the air has a long reach.

I've figured out that if Blanca jumps straight up and does a hard kick when zangief gets close, there is literally no way for zangief to hit Blanca. You can do this on the hardest difficulty and beat zangief perfectly.

This presents a problem for a perfect AI. The perfect AI would need to know not to get so close to Blanca as Zangief and at best could only let the time run out during that matchup.
Yes, I usually expect to learn something, especially if it's how a new technology is being applied in the real world. I also except to meet some people during pizza time, etc.
> just relying on hard data would do much better than humans.

Humans can acknowledge and correct for biases in training data much better than computers can.

Wow, this zoomable, detailed sankey diagram is awesome. Great job!
I'm not talking about the fancy tools. I'm talking about just serving Git repositories, not about web applications.

GitHub is distributing your Git repository across multiple servers in multiple racks in real time for reliability and availability and is the world's largest Git repository hosting provider. Some nice conference talks discuss this, like from Git Merge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7ecUqHxD7o and GitHub Universe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY0yNRNkYb0

Visual Studio Team Services is hosting your Git repository across Azure, and is hosting the world's largest Git repositories. https://arstechnica.co.uk/information-technology/2017/02/mic...

I have my own Git server as well, and I agree that its maintenance isn't very demanding. But I'm not putting production bits on it. My open source repositories go to GitHub and my private repositories go to VSTS - they're providing a level of service that I simply can't match by myself.

Well, it could be, who said it isn't? Though i'm not familiar with the Tesla case.

But selling "locked batteries" in a product where the batteries are 80% of the innovation/feature set, and where after-market batteries could cause all kinds of issues, is one thing.

Whereas selling memory at triple or more the price just because you switched on some feature (ECC) that would have costed nothing to switch on for everybody is another thing.

It would be nice if Twitter had something equivalent to multireddits, where different follows could be attributed to different tabs on an account. Then I could have one tab for news, one tab for comedians, one tab for math/programming stuff, etc.

From there it follows that Twitter might prepopulate a few tabs with News, Entertainment, Video Games, etc. for new users the same way reddit does a default front page.
Maybe we should stop acting like the US is the only country in the world. 70% of the STEM students in Iran are women. There are male quotas.

In Malaysia the amount of females in stem research is 49%. The US numbers are supposedly around 25ish.

You may have divided opinions on the why but I have two issues here.

First can we stop pretending 25% is somewhere close to "I'm the only woman" and second can we stop pretending that the US is somehow representative for the whole world? In Japan supposedly the numbers are much lower. I see 14% in one paper.
