To the extent that AirBnB hosts are violating their contract with the landlord, the state should be involved to enforce that. However if the host owns the property (or has contract permission to sublet) the state should not be involved. The state may also get involved is someone (guest or legitimate owner) is affecting their neighbors (excessive noise for example).

I can recognize that some AirBnB's are not legal even while arguing that as a whole the idea should be legal.
I was snorkeling in Indonesia a couple years ago, and they didn't sell reef-safe sunscreen anywhere in the country, even in the national parks. It's insane to me that these sorts of locations that derive so much of their GDP from tourism don't even make it possible to protect the resources driving their economy, let alone encouraging or mandating that people do so. Like you would think that if you were a hotel near Kommodo National Park, and the only reason anyone ever stays at your hotel is to go snorkeling and see the Kommodo dragons, then you would stock reef-safe products in your gift shop. But sadly that's not the case.
I support your message in spirit. But I have a concern.

The more open publishing becomes, almost by definition, the more dilution happens to the citation process. Want to know where this happened before? Trace back to Google's origins, where the "brilliance" of the "citation" technique made it so much better to begin with. But what happened afterwards? Was the interlinking just left as it was, pristine and still as valuable, just waiting for Google and other search engines to exploit it? Of course not. Any kind of system which can be gamed will be gamed. And what happened to the internet after Google became the sheriff? I would say it is now a fairly overcomplicated and twisted system (especially for the hobbyist) with the cat and mouse game going on between SEO companies and Google.

The distortions that are introduced today in order to get published, will be replaced by new distortions that will be introduced to get cited.
Your post reeks of a lack of empathy. The same kind that inspires the thin person to tell the fat person to just not eat so much. It's perfectly fine to not understand someone else, but it's another thing to assume they can snap their fingers and instantly reform themselves in your image.

> The Ancients are no good; to think about death is not to experience it – to believe one is not afraid of it only shows one has not yet met it:

What about people who thought they will die and were ok with it? Or those that did indeed die and were, at least apparently, ok with it? Those cases are not so rare.

It seems to me that, all philosophical attitudes apart, fear of death is a matter of character. Fear, after all, is an emotion and as such it is difficult, though probably not impossible to control consciously.
As in, "if you follow these best practices, you too can produce high quality research"

There is no reason why this post should be focused on blogs in general, asides from generating discussion + clickbait.
The key here is actually following the best practice, but do most blogs actually do this?

Alternatively: there is a high minimal requirement for research articles, but there is no minimal requirement for blogs.
The metric shouldn't be intelligence, but ability to suffer (which intelligence affects).

I think it is only natural to want good experiences to last for as long as possible and to be at least a little "pissed", as the parent comment put it, when you think about the inevitable end. It's similar to your instinct of self-preservation, only on a longer timescale. Of course it would probably be most enjoyable if one could just permanently forget about death and live life to the fullest, but that kind of oblivion seems almost impossible for such an important concept. Also without the prospect of death one might not be as inclined to make the most of what little time one has available. I guess you describe a kind of stoic philosophy where one shouldn't be concerned by things one cannot change at all, but that requires a lot of conscious effort, at least that's my personal experience, and the untrained human reaction to the fact that the good days are numbered is to be "pissed".
Huh? Why does he have to do that? I can understand being suspicious of those who actually come and STAY in the Airbnb, but to use your line of argument against the person renting out the room makes no sense to me. What exactly does the hotel permit specify? That the toilet is clean? That the building is structurally sound?

I learned XXX as a placeholder for FIXME from a scientist who learned to write physics papers in the 1980s. I believe he learned it from someone trained in the early 70s. It flows well in text: "The measurement performed by XXX in 1985 observed the same effect, but at the XXX-confidence level."

I solve the XXX-as-stand-in-for-foo degeneracy by adding priorities to my XXXs: XXXRC, XXXMA, XXXMI, for release-critical, major, and minor bugs.

I don't think anyone is actually suggesting that. The very first line of the article states that the company in question looks at 1200 different metrics, one of which is phone charge cycle.

The term "charge" only actually appears in the article twice: mostly the headline is clickbait.
It's courage!

Answering the phone is not an obligation. Maybe people tend to call when you're in meetings, so you send it to voicemail and you call them back later. Maybe your number got on a spam list somewhere and a bunch of calls are just telemarketing.

When you take thousands of variables and compare them all against each other, you're going to get some spurious correlations.

It isn't a death sentence: the overwhelming majority survive, and even go through the process again. If they killed them outright the species would go extinct. Of those two options, this is the environmentally friendly one.
By the looks of the comments, I would say ABB is already on its way out of favor. As a Firefighter, I will not stay in an ABB... nope.
But some portion of that is the cost of compliance with safety, which AirBNB skips.

There's no reason we shouldn't require things that are effectively hotel rooms to comply with hotel safety regulations.

If AirBNB can only operate by violating the law, why should we support their business model?
Thanks for clarifying this and your info on Burp's capabilities above. What are some of the commercial options you just mentioned? I'm dealing with a large app not written with C but does have API endpoints over http. For a start on some black-box fuzzing, I'm thinking I could use Radamsa's client/server capabilities.
We are talking about safety here.

Safety regulations don't typically form out if nowhere. You grew up in a world where the previous generations lobbied for safety regulations in response to an actual lack of safety. It's like the new anti vaccinations movement- there's a whole generation who grew up not watching children be maimed and killed by what's now vaccine preventable infectious diseases so now suddenly vaccinations are poison. Absolutely no frame of reference.

In terms of safety hotel lobby is pissed because they have to follow regulations and pay associated taxes whereas AirBnB isn't. The hotel lobby certainly would be in favor of loosening safety regulations in general as compliance will certainly cut into their bottom line at least a little.
I tried to use AirBnb once, but apparently you can't book a reservation unless you upload your photo. The fuck? And then they wonder why their hosts discriminate by race! I sure don't need to show my photo to a hotel to book a room.
Might be a bit overblown - other presidential regimes such as France include many of the powers that Erdogan is claiming. As long as guaranteeing an independent judiciary can be done - the powers can be controlled(Trump couldn't do what he wanted to by a long shot)
It definitely helps if you would otherwise watch a bad movie. The Gamera episode is my all-time favorite; and when these shows were first airing I was watching every Japanese monster movie I could on my own (they're so bad they're often hilarious even without the MST3K crew).

The appeal for me is also that I'm from Minnesota like those guys; some of the jokes are inside jokes. It was also on late night during the 90s when not much else was on; some of the appeal now is nostalgic.
We've been using Honeycomb at Nylas for 6+ months at this point and love it - the product keeps getting better and better, it's fast and reliable, and it's given us new debugging capabilities that make investigating outages and digging into system performance easier than they were before.

We've also built our own ELK cluster (three times!) and can attest that it takes very significant engineering effort to get a scalable, reliable, high performance cluster, and the ongoing cost in hardware is easily hundreds of dollars a month or more.

Three things that we can do with Honeycomb that we can't do with ELK (or at least not easily):

* Quickly iterate on questions to explore datasets. It makes a huge difference in how you approach a tool when the time between question and answer is milliseconds, not seconds.
* Compare trends in data - Honeycomb can easily group data by field and display many lines on the same graph. As an example: easily break down your API traffic by endpoint to pinpoint a spike in traffic to a specific endpoint. (Or by endpoint and customer, etc.)
* Calculate percentiles, averages, etc. on our data in real-time - without having to set up the calculated metrics beforehand. This makes honeycomb a better tool for performance monitoring than ELK imho.

There may be ways to do some of these things with ELK, but not out of the box and, given the indexed data store behind the stack, it's just not architected to have these same capabilities.

I suspect if you dug into some of Honeycomb's other blog posts, this difference would become more apparent. :)
Tourism is a drop in the ocean...

"Coral reefs are some of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth. Coral reefs support more species per unit area than any other marine environment, including about 4,000 species of fish, 800 species of hard corals and hundreds of other species. Scientists estimate that there may be another 1 to 8 million undiscovered species of organisms living in and around reefs (Reaka-Kudla, 1997). This biodiversity is considered key to finding new medicines for the 21st century. Many drugs are now being developed from coral reef animals and plants as possible cures for cancer, arthritis, human bacterial infections, viruses, and other diseases.

Storehouses of immense biological wealth, reefs also provide economic and environmental services to millions of people. Coral reefs may provide goods and services worth $375 billion each year. This is an amazing figure for an environment that covers less than 1 percent of the Earth’s surface (Costanza et al., 1997)."

You make it sound like cost saving is a throwaway matter, an afterthought. I'm a grad student. Before Airbnb, I could only stay in hostels, which are worse than both hotels and airbnbs. Airbnb is awesome if I don't want to spend my holidays staying woken up by idiotic frat boys.
He is joking with the title. Money quote: "encryption will be easier to use, disk space will be better utilized, backups will be more reliable"

AirBNB seems to be combating itself just as much, frankly.

Take this idea that an AirBNB host can set pretty much any service/cleaning fee, which is not factored in to search-by-price and not even displayed until you click a property. This basically makes the entire concept of a “price” meaningless in search results, and I quickly grew tired of having to click into every single property just to figure out the “real” price before returning to the search results page.

And price is far from the only way that a property can be misleading.

I don’t think the hotel industry has much to worry about.
The first time I've heard of this was when Anandtech did their review of iPhone 7 and it has the Apple's custom SSD controller: http://www.anandtech.com/show/10685/the-iphone-7-and-iphone-...

They mentioned the '15 MacBook was the first to use Apple's custom SSD controller, which iFixit took a picture of here: https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Retina+Macbook+2015+Teardown...

They most likely started off from Apple's purchase of Anobit, the custom flash controller designer, back in 2011: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anobit
I have a social circle that extent 1000 miles in every direction, I had enough common sense to never register on facebook and I'm still in contact with everybody in the circle the same way we did before facebook or web 2.0 was a thing: email and instant messaging (IRC fell out of favor after main networks got permanently wiretapped).

Of course I don't keep up on a daily basis, which is in line with the AFK way of interacting with people in my local circle. We catch up once in a while through interpersonal conversation intended for the other person.

Why would someone want a constant reminder of what happens in the daily life of every people they know in 40 miles radius is beyond comprehension to me. Do you even have anything to talk about when you actually see each other ? Do you even meet or talk to each other ?

Facebook seems to be only useful because it is a walled prison, where prisoners are forbidden from interacting with the outside, so prisoners find it useful that they can at least communicate with each other in filtered, censored and filled with advertisement way.
To me the usefulness of facebook is that it keeps much of the eternal september crap contained inside itself, though it has a tendency to leak and spill in the rest of the web when the prisoners get the occasional interaction with the outside world and not understand that what is acceptable in a prison environment is not in the normal world.
As of April 17, the authorship for "Homo Deus" was fixed, and the list was down to 4,334. I just had a brief chat with Amazon about the whole list, asking "I would be grateful if you would contact them, and have the Amazon team begin to fix this."

Amazon replied, "Yes, definitely, I'll contact them right away and sent all the details to fix this, you will able to see the changes within next week starting as fast as possible."

I don't know how this happened, but as long as it gets fixed, I'm good.
I'm guessing, since the DB is just a torrent, you can check if it's complete.
In fact if you check the gif in the post, you can see after the DB's name, it shows how much % it downloaded. So, there's your answer. When you get to 3 digits, you could be sure that no new results are going to show up.

"Everyone has Jesus of memory, or doesn't matter if we chew through a bunch of it because we were to lazy to use the right tool for the job".

Just because it's there doesn't mean you need to use it all, that's like spending your whole paycheck at once because "you'll get another one in 2 weeks!".
Any application that does the same job with less resources and the same or greater performance is unequivocally, objectively better.

Also, benefits of claims like easier and faster updated are rendered pretty moot when developers next spend that time changing things for the sake of it: Spotify app feels like it has since pointless, un-requested UI change every month. And VSCode can't even update Idle, decor that being one of the lauded benefits...
In the distro center I worked at, it was incredibly rare for the long haul trucks to actually attach the trailers to the building. They would jack up the trailers in the lot, let the truck go, then use a switcher to do the remaining lot because the switcher can just pick the thing up and go instead of having to have a worker there to wind the legs up and down on the trailer. Ours was not a huge distro hub either, pretty small one so I'd imagine larger ones have even more infrastructure to handle the freight that doesn't involve the pull truck.
I'm afraid this is going to happen inside the EU as well (Hungary, Poland... ). What can I do to prevent this? (I live here ​and I want to keep living here if possible.)
Common concerns:

* Increased traffic

* More noise

* Greater odds of criminal activity

* Resultant reduction in nearby property values

These are not theoretical and are part of the reason why zoning laws exist.
you're ignoring the situations where ABB is problematic and discussing only the situations where it is working well. nobody has a problem with ABB working well. the problem is the impact it has on residential areas in already housing-crunched cities. a secondary problem is health and safety regulation disparities.

if we're going to be discussing ABB let's actually discuss the reasons why it is controversial. there are very good reasons why ABB ought to be more strictly regulated in certain areas. The yurt, farmhouse, and log cabin rentals that your friend enjoyed aren't really the issue here and I haven't seen any significant effort to shut down those types of ABB rentals.

So please, focus on what matters here. There is a narrow but important subset of ABB rentals that is problematic and that is what the regulatory debate is focused on.
Technically someone can have complete ability to pay back their credit card debt, yet they might miss a credit card payment (like I did last year because I was out of the country due to a personal reason), yet that is counted against me.

The idea behind these criterion isn't to perfectly capture the creditworthiness of the applicant rather to give a general idea of their creditworthiness.

The aim is to be better than nothing. Also different cultural aspects play role in this too. For instance in West (at least in America) a lot of people don't take calls from unknown numbers (unless your phone is for professional use), whereas in other countries like India, taking calls from unknown number isn't an issue.
Yeah, I looked for another link that didn't have such obnoxious refuse...

Ok but apart from the wobbly transparent windows, does it ACTUALLY IMPROVE USABILITY? I don't see the point of adding in all the animations, transparencies, etc. if they aren't used to giving you the ability to get your work done with less keystrokes/mouse clicks and to show you more information or show you the info you want in a clearer manner. A good example of my gripe is the window switcher in Unity 7 - it shows window thumbnails (which is useless when you have a dozen black terminals, so you just get a dozen black indistinct rectangles) but doesn't show their names, which is really their only distinguishing feature. If it were built with less shiny graphics, literally as a list of text entries, it would be more useful!

The overwhelming majority of people in the world, even those living in coastal areas, have never seen a coral reef in real life. Some may have seen it on TV or in print media, but most people are aware of them only by name.

That's why the economic argument is a good way to communicate the importance of these resources. Someone who has never left Kentucky in their entire life may not care about The Grand Barrier Reef in Australia, but they may care about the global economic impact of losing it.
It certainly depends on where you live but almost all jurisdictions have those sorts of requirements. For example, first thing I saw on Google

>Environmental health specialists inspect every hotel at least twice a year or more often as deemed necessary to ensure compliance with the Hotel, Food Service Establishment, and Public Swimming Pool Act of 1985* and the hotel rules and regulations. Current hotel permits must be displayed in a prominent location for the public to view and the inspection report must be available for public scrutiny.

An important step in world history, to be sure. However this decay of the Rule of Law is happening everywhere, not just in West Asia. People always turn towards authoritarianism when the going gets tough. One has only to look at the United States to see that the Rule of Law hasn't been respected for years: politicians and public officials perjuring themselves, intelligence agencies run amok, flagrant civil rights violations by police.

It's easy to justify one's actions, no matter how repugnant, against the spectre of some unknown enemy.
