I like your views on philosophy, and I recently read and liked that Hadot book. I'm guessing that you studied philosophy formally, but I'm curious, what do you do now? (My email is in my bio if you want to continue off HN)
According to articles on Forbes and Extremetech, Intel currently has 99% of the server market. This is a new product that may affect Intel, but it hasn't done anything yet. So far this is just speculation then.
No, that sounds like the most extreme version of UBI-as-panacea arguments I've seen yet. Why would the ability to earn $12k per annum for not trying to work have the slightest effect on ambitious high-flying executives' willingness to move from a very high-paying private sector role to a very high-paying regulatory role and back again?
> The ASIC processors Google use are for inference, not training. Having efficient inference is great, but training is what uses up most of the compute power.

I think that was the GP's point? The training is done on GPUs, the execution is done on ASICs, and neither step involves Intel. That's what alarms them. Dedicated hardware might help this, but that seems iffy to me. ML and neural networks are still a fast-evolving field, and instructions that might help today could be useless next year. ASICs can be thrown out and replaced, but instructions that Intel adds to its ISA will be there forever.
It seems to me that an intelligent health insurance company may try and meter how many hours on average that the employees work and charge a premium for putting health risks onto the workers. eg: If on average workers are putting 50hr weeks, then the pool is riskier than they work 30hrs per week on average.
I can understand hotels having a legitimate objection to the differential regulation that gives Airbnb hosts a cost advantage, but there are good reasons for exempting (some) hosts: generally, once you run a business at scale, there's a disconnect that leads to cutting corners with safety, which is what prompts these regulations.

If a hotel room is just one of a thousand properties (the thinking goes) then the owner might be too casual about safety issues -- hence regs to force them to care. But if it's a room in the owner's very own house, there is no such "incentive incompatibility": a fire is much more than just a financial loss for them, so -- if anything -- they're overcautious! Thus, it's reasonable to exempt the renting out of one's primary residence from these additional safety regs.

With that said, your general point still stands: many of these hosts are "superhosts" who rent 3+ properties, which does (from the perspective of regulatory concerns) look like a hotel business and which therefore does merit similar regulation.
So the hotel industry's plan revolves solely around more legislation and regulation?

How about competing by innovating and providing the consumer with a better or improved experience?

Does the industry really believe that theres nothing they can do to improve on the consumer experience? It feels like its changed very little if at all over the years.

How about stop charging $15.00 a day for internet. It's 2017 charging for internet like charging for power in the room.

How about getting rid of inflexible checkin/checkout times?

How about lobbying local governments to reduce the exorbitant double digit taxes and fees consumers pay on hotels stays instead.[1]

Example tax rates:

18.27% New York City

17.76% Nashville

17% Houston and Indianapolis

16.75% San Antonio, TX and Columbus, OH

It's absolutely amazing to me how Nintendo continuously holds such a high bar for themselves in terms of first party content.

Exactly. The concern about lack of safety is paranoia at best. If the door locks, the smoke alarm is on, and power outlets not hanging from the wall, appliances in working order etc, then there's not much else to worry about.

For my recent Airbnb stay I couldn't fault it. Was more than I expected and great value.

I wouldn't say you're flipping a coin - if you only stay at 5-star rated places with many reviewers, your odds are definitely better than 50/50 on having a terrible/great experience. Even without reading reviews - just using the heuristic "only book five star average from over 15 people" has gotten me a 18 out of 20 or so fantastic experiences (the two being key problems, or cleanliness, and unless I'm paying $150+ a night in a hotel, my batting average on that has been about the same).

I will agree with all the other posters that the consistency and reliability of your average AirBnB is definitely less than that of a hotel, but I find the advantages to more than makeup for it.
Sometimes you have to dig in and take things on a case-by-case basis.

Of course we can. But we have a self-preservation instinct.
For all of these work reduction policies (6 hour work days, ten hour work days with three day weekends), couldn't organizations simply retain the five day work weeks with eight-hour work days, simply by staggering shifts accordingly? Granted, hand-off will become critical, but I don't think that's an insurmountable issue if processes are adjusted accordingly. This is dependent on specific industries, of course.

I question how much pressure intel really feels from AMD.

Intel: 60b in revenue, of which over 50b is from processors.

AMD: 4b revenue. It's impossible tell what part of that is ATI and processors... since AMD mixes desktop cpus with ATI revenue; and mixes server cpus with embedded and soc revenue. So they're playing a bit of a game to hide their cpu sales. If we assume 1/2 is from cpus, that's 2B.

Does Intel really feel pressure to reduce their prices because of a competitor that sells (perhaps) 1/25th of their revenue?

Fermi's Paradox looms large, and the Filter seems to as well.

Humans are exceptionally intelligent, that is obvious. At the same time, we still hold most of the evolutionary baggage that has, up to a few thousand years ago, allowed us in no small part to succeed.

For example: given two events, A and B, where A is a bad event and B is a good event, of equal magnitudes, we will almost always far more clearly remember event A, the bad thing, than B.

Bad things making a deeper and longer lasting psychological impression is an excellent and effective evolutionary characteristic, until relatively recently.

Now, I think it's making us crazy.

That's just one example. A more direct example would be how much more important short-term thinking is to us than long-term thinking. Again, historically, a huge evolutionary advantage. Now, well, here we are.

All just to make PHP a little faster. I think you are making my case.

Completely separate issue. Ensuring that air pollution doesn't cause unacceptable levels of harm is what cap & trade is for.

In the case of cosmetics there are many ingredients that should just be illegal, whereas in the case of air pollution it's an issue of goods and services that should be legal, but where the total levels of various pollutants aren't currently capped and then priced accordingly.

In my case this was our honeymoon, so we would have gladly (or at least begrudgingly) paid an extra couple hundred bucks or whatever. Whereas someone else just wanting to go to some conference might instead choose to participate remotely.

"airlines currently make a little money"

Your definition of "a little money" and mine are very different. The three largest US airlines ( American, Delta, and Southwest ) each had net incomes over $2 billion for 2016.

American: $2.6 B
Delta: $4.3 B
Southwest: $2.2 B
> Seriously, show me where I can pay an almost-reasonable (say, 10-15%) upgrade fee for 3-4" more legroom over whatever the lowest is they can get away with

JetBlue and Delta both offer this.

JetBlue has plenty of leg room anyway, I'm 6' FWIW and I find paying for the upgrade to be needless. Delta it can be worth it for longer flights.
What about 1-2 Switch?
Thank you I had never heard this before (granted I don't follow AirBnB very closely at all). Seems like an appropriate response from AirBnB at least.
Yes, it is an unfair comparison. I was attempting to explain in my comment why I consider it a valid unfair comparison, because it is a matter of perspective.

As a software developer, do I ever want a private cloud? No. Does my employer? Maybe. Is it my job to tell them how to invest their infrastructure dollars? Quite possibly no, because software development and infrastructure are typically held at arms length. But even when they are not in a "proper" DevOps shop, the ballgame of which cloud is then subservient to developer convenience and how easy it is to deploy software to a cloud and how productive developers are writing software for that cloud.

So yes, the purpose of OpenStack and Container technologies are very different and I appreciate that technically. In terms of real world value to me as a software developer, however, I have platform problems not infrastructure problems. I don't care what the infrastructure is under the service so long as it provides a stable, reliable platform for me to build upon. Containers abstract that for me in a way that solves real platform problems that OpenStack was only ever relevant to me in so far as its ability to once hint at a possible solution to. That's not fair and that was expecting too much from OpenStack at the time, but that's life.
Similar to what Phillip said, you can do an even split, with the vesting time proportional to time put in.
Yup - the attention economy. If you can't read something in under 5 minutes, if it actually takes time and effort to understand and appreciate, then it doesn't matter how much it will reward that time and effort, it doesn't matter how interesting it is, no one will read it.

<fx: sad face />

If that sounds a little bitter, it's not intended to. It's intended as an explicit recognition of a reality. Is this a problem? For those who think it is a problem, the first step to solving a problem is to recognise it for what it is.

There sure isn't any shortage of rudeness on these anonymous/pseudonymous online forums, and I'm sure much of it is precisely because people aren't afraid of getting punched, or really having to answer personally for their rude behavior.
Not a bad approach to continue evolving the series
I bought a one year license earlier this year. It is nice being able to code in Ruby and using helper gems much the same code runs on macOS and iOS which is nice.

Swift looks like a nice language from the few hours I have spent playing with it, but I hope that RubyMotion as a company stays viable because for someone like me, who just dabbles in iOS and macOS development, RubyMotion is easier.
Overbooking and cancellation fees allows the airline to charge lower fares to folks who buy early and don't cancel. Perhaps the author makes a good point that airlines don't leave enough slack in the system to handle mistakes. I'm not sure if I agree. I fly quite frequently, and I rarely experience any non-weather delays. When there are delays, the airlines are very kind to me. Maybe because I fly frequently, but that's my experience. Regardless, the easy solution to the problem of not enough slack is to fine the airlines more for non-weather delays. Don't tell them how to solve the problem, just make it worth their while. The market will sort out whether it's better to leave some empty seats or to give more refunds.
Independent developers have fulfilled their function and are no longer needed.
Hotel parking fees are the worst. Very sneaky. Hidden from view, sometimes it says in the list "secure parking - yes (fees apply)" but doesn't say the fee. That means it's a per day charge and a rip-off.

> "But I always assumed whiz-bang mathematicians had already figured out, I dunno, the threshold at which a processor can be nanosized, or like how big a processor could become before the distances became too great that due to the speed of light further computational advancement wasn't possible."

We're nowhere near the absolute limits imposed by the fundamentals of thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, etc. Those are relatively straightforward bounds to calculate but are completely useless for anything but extremely long-term projections.

What we wish we could compute is what the limits are on current manufacturing techniques and incremental advances from that. But we don't know precisely how many incremental improvements we have left to discover before we need to abandon silicon entirely.

Few passengers are literal no-shows.

Some airline booking ploys result in passengers being literal no shows. This occurs when a round trip fare is cheaper than a one way fare (so the passenger is a no show for the return trip), or a trip from A to C with a layover in B is cheaper than a trip from A to B (so the passenger is a no show for the B to C flight).

I've done the latter, where my internship is at A, my family is at B and I go to University at C. I book a trip C-A at the start of the summer and then a return trip A-C with a layover in B after my internship ends but some time before the next semester starts.
Agreed, but the level of self-inflation around the severity around this "bug" is shameful.

Well, at least unlike other cartels, there is a significant amount of regulation - the FAA has very strict rules to keep airlines from cutting corners (e.g. maintenance requirements, certifications of airworthiness but also pilot licensing).

Other industries with less regulations tend to kill people due to cutting corners (e.g. the Takata airbag scandal, Ford acceleration issues).
I'm glad that this is coming to the forefront of our collective consciousness, and that people are working to solve what is a very real problem, and of their own accord.

> I'm not sure OpenStack was ever seriously intended to work at that level.

There was a hint at some possibility that it might, especially in some of the hype circles early on. It is of course unfair to blame OpenStack for never actually fulfilling that dream, when that was not its intention per se, but that is part of why today people continue to compare what OpenStack promised versus what containers delivered.

And that goes right into the whole "badly designed language" trope as well. Essentially, anything written in PHP prior to version 5 (and especially prior to version 4) should be considered suspect.

I'm a long time PHP developer (well, was until recently - my current position is in the javascript/nodejs stack arena), and have been using it since the v3 days (so not there from the beginning, but close enough). There were some truly awful examples and code practices out there.

That isn't to say you couldn't write quality procedural PHP back in the day (had you configured your server properly and stuck with "best practices") - it's just that the majority of people hacking on PHP didn't. I'm sure there were a few that did, though - but I'm hard-pressed to recall any at the moment.

Today's PHP is a much different beast than yesterday's. The OOP model and other advancements makes things so much better, provided they are all used properly and followed. Now - could you make PHP 7 as ugly as 3? Sure. But you'd be insane to do so unless you had no other choice...
