Harper showed us that the potential for abuse was there, though that's not to say that he was particularly abusive, and it's been part of the political discourse since.

I think many Canadians took for granted just how much process was informal tradition followed on honour and not binding rules.

to be fair, you are not renting a hotel room, you are renting someones home or room (in most cases). I see it as a way to build trust. Is a complicated situation... if a host chooses to discriminate me from staying at their home because of my race/age/sexual orientation I wouldn't really want to stay there anyways. Is it right? absolutely not. Is it against Airbnbs rules? YES. Will they be banned if they are caught? you bet.
Market regulation is by definition controlling what a market can and cannot do. The intent does not change the definition of the word.

You'r aware that the biggest EU nations made a deal with Turkey to take most of the refugees? Turkey doesn't do it for fun, but because they get paid for it.

I.e., if you want to thank anybody, thank the previous governments of western EU countries (not the current ones) that educated their public enough to force the governments into doing anything. Without fear of public opinion all countries would've just shut their borders.
By the end the interviewer was telling it was all right for me to have mistakenly thought the registers were 32-bit words, and thus concluded the machine wasn't quite Turing-complete, and he was noting that our analysis should still work for the Turing-complete version with bignum registers.
The Russians did some research into cadaveric blood transfusions.

You think he walked a geopolitical he planned long ago ? With news showing putin had influences on Trump long ago too, it seems we're witnessing a very nice international long con.
This is where you and I will never come to an agreement:

You quickly jump to the government to regulate and essentially run every aspect of your life and the decisions you make.

I would argue that there is no place what-so-ever for government regulation in the market that AirBnB hosts' participate in. It is self regulating. If AirBnB is deceptive or unfair in their marketplace of listings, people will stop using it. If AirBnB is unfair to hosts, hosts will stop renting their place on AirBnB. If a place is not safe/sanitary/etc., and AirBnB still allows it to be listed, people will have a bad AirBnB experience and stop using AirBnB and/or that renter. AirBnB has the motivation to make all hosts follow a certain level of expectation to avoid the above. Otherwise AirBnB will go out of business. And with places that violate building regulations/etc., the city is already responsible for that, whether the host lives there themselves or rents it out.

And yes, it is as simple as a PRIVATE citizen renting out their location to another PRIVATE citizen. The fact that it is not my buddy sleeping on the couch but some stranger is up to the HOST. They have the freedom to choose if they want to rent their place out on the market place to a stranger or not. That is what is so great about a free market, it is NOT up to you or the GOVERNMENT. Same as any person has the choice to stay at an AirBnB or a hotel, or anything else they find...hell..go camping. The point here is that it is NOT the governments job to step in and not allow a choice that somebody is WILLING to make. Just because you may find AirBnB unfitting does not make it wrong and should not be illegal. Hotels have no business lobbying to ban this practice and it's indicative of them that they are not willing to even once sit down and think, how can we better serve and compete against the target market of AirBnB. It's pretty damn simple. I even listed above something they could look at. Other commentators have made the same point and other things the hotel industry could do. But no... what do they do... turn to the government. Government regulation is NOT the solution here. It is pretty sickening that so many people turn to government to regulate something at the first sign of something not being perfect.

I am legitimately curious, have you ever walked into a hotel room and it was disgusting? Did you immediately leave and complain to the hotel manager? Did you contact the city the hotel was in and tell them the hotel was not clean? Did you tell the city they should make more regulations on how a hotel should be?

OR, if you happen to go to a hotel that was not clean, or anything else that was not up to your standards of what a hotel should be. Did you stay there still? Did you ever come back to that hotel on another trip.

My point is YOU made a decision what to do based on what you were willing to pay. That is called a free market. Not a government regulates everything market. Other people may have been willing to stay in the hotel above at a given price.
"the hotel cartel is intent on short-sheeting the middle class so they can keep price-gouging consumers,"

Well... maybe. After staying in about 10 airbnbs total, I'd generally prefer a hotel room.

* Hotels are generally clean. I still always check them before I get into them, but I've yet to find a hotel with "gross" sheets. I don't worry much about the showers either

* Hotels have parking! This is nice for the driver in me

* Hotels are safe. The door locks and general consensus that cameras are not good help me sleep better

* Hotels are generally somewhat flexible with room changes if they have availability

That all said, you're going to have to pay >$100/night to get that level of service from a hotel but that works for me
If you're accepting money from someone in exchange for a good (in this case, housing), you are a business.

The article just mentions that Intel is no longer funding OSIC, which from what I read is essentially a data center for contributors to use (for free?). I could totally see why Intel would have second thoughts about footing a server bill; I don't think it means they're officially out of OpenStack.

Life is not so simple for all of us I guess. When your earning in a corporate job is supporting your family, you can't simply dropout and start chasing a startup lottery.

Only simple minded fools or rich kids who don't have any downside will play this game indiscriminately.

I'm sorry, but why do "tirades" require "justification"? I can talk all day long about how Unity's UI is shitty. I have no obligation, legal, moral, or otherwise to phrase my annoyance in any specific way.

You must really hate the evening weather report and financial news media then. Hoo boy, and you thought those "scientists" were hand-wavy. Wait until you see what they do with stock picks!

(Edit: I can see by the downvotes that no one appreciates the sarcasm. The serious way to express this point is that by demanding rigor and precision of this kind of analysis, you are applying a standard that you very much DO NOT apply to the other important issues in your life. Squishy, hard-to-quantify risk management is pervasive in retirement planning, insurance purchases, education decisions, career choice, marriage... So why are you insisting that climate and ecological decisions be held to a higher standard?)
Poland is the most EU enthusiastic society in EU

I find this ironic since they are not part of the Eurozone. Their economy is much less at risk from mismanagement in Greece than France, the Netherlands or Germany.

it's democracy, you need to wait for next elections

In a representative democracy, you need to wait for the next elections. In a parliamentarian democracy, a vote of no confidence can trigger elections (like Canada in 2011) or the Prime Minister can ask the Crown to dissolve parliament and call elections (like the UK in 2010). This can lead to situations like 3 elections within 5 years (Canada 2006, 2008, 2011). In the US, federal elections are every two years, with the whole House being up for election and 1/3 of the Senate while the President is up every other Congressional election.
No two OpenStack implementations are the same.
It's more symbolic than that. Turkey as a secular state was founded by Kemal Ataturk and many of the things that were put in place to maintain stability and to keep things reasonably fair will be abolished or have been abolished.

So in that sense it is accurate to claim this is the death of Turkey, even though the land borders aren't going anywhere.

Just like Persia preceded what we know as Iran today Turkey will now change into something that you would not recognize as the country it was only two decades ago.

The people that have means and/or skills are fleeing the country in droves (or have been placed under arrest or are afraid to even voice their misgivings). It's a very sad affair.
An interesting definition. One that I'm glad doesn't apply to the random junk I sell on eBay and Craigslist.
It may have little to do with policy-making and is surely anecdotal, but Japanese produce is far better and cheaper than what I used to get in America. (And the same is true of meat and baked goods.) The difference is plainly obvious. The idea that anything other than junk food would be worthy of importing from elsewhere is almost laughable to me. On the other hand, I don't buy corn or potatoes too often here.
Similar in the UK, the regulations for B&Bs and guesthouses are pretty minimal compared to a hotel. The biggest issue people run into in getting licensed is that often some changes are needed to meet the fire code for overnight accommodations. Usually not hard to fix, but may involve things like installing fire doors at the top and bottom of stairwells, and installing lockable fire doors on any closets that are located beneath stairs.
> also a local zoning issue

Isn't AirBnb a party to that issue?

If AirBnb stuck to it's early role as way for people to rent rooms in homes or vacation homes, it would be an amazing service. By seeking to "disrupt" the hotel industry, they kind of poisoned the well.
I feel like "Cloud DVR" is as much of an intentional missing-the-point on the part of traditional players in the market. It still feels a lot like "based on how popular the Tivo originally was, people really want a DVR" and missing the point that regardless of the technology actually used: people just wanted to watch shows on their schedule, not some overpaid executive's schedule based on astrology readings and Nielsen surveys (which may as well be astrology readings themselves).

Beyond maybe being a legal workaround and maybe being a way to not confuse old people used to decades of cable subscription: Continuing to apply "Cloud DVR" as a terminology for and its "modern VCR" skeumorphism to services like PlayStation Vue continues the tradition of treating "live TV" as "the real thing" and on-demand/Cloud DVR as the exception and the lesser experience. It's hard not to see that as a willful ignorance from the existing players that they might still have hope to put the genie back into the bottle and return to the halcyon days where people lived to TV schedules and captive eyeballs were guaranteed delivered to very happy advertisers.
I've been saying it for years, but: The only political issue that matters is education. Everything else is tactical.

A nation's education system should be responsible for raising the next generation of citizens, propagating our national identity and cultural values to the next generation while imbuing them with the ability to think critically to ward off corrupting ideas. Successful nations, especially empires like the US, needs a common world view to glue citizens together... social cohesion, progress, and economic success go hand in hand.

In contrast, our dismal K-12 system is built to churn out 20th century factory employees rather than educated 21st century citizens. We treat school like a glorified day care rather than a vital cultural institution, leading to a tremendously wasteful and inefficient K-college system. It's ludicrous that most Americans would fail our citizenship test... which requires getting 6 out of 10 multiple-choice questions right. Ludicrous.

The party whip all but ensures that a majority government does not fear reprisal from the house.

Asking the sovereign to intervene is an extreme last-resort, having last happened around forty years ago in Australia.

Canada's democracy functions excellently when in a minority; in that situation the house has the balance of power, and not the PMO.

Nvidia has supported installing their latest cards into old Mac Pros for years now with their web driver. Nothing new.

I hate to post non constructive criticism, but ... unless you do that in a coordinated effort with thousands of others, that's just wasting your time.

The reach of any one person without an amplifier of sorts (traditional media, facebook popularity, etc), is essentially zero; Even in the extremely unlikely case that you've changed the minds of 1,000 people you talked to (because to change 1,000 people's mind and vote, you need to speak to 20,000), it's still a rounding error.

It will make you feel good that you tried while you're at it, yes. It will also demonstrate how powerless you are if the results go against your wishes (or falsely make you think you contributed if they go your way).

It's the same as fighting the centralization of the web, the big brothering of facebook/nsa, etc - you have to mobilize people to act, many of them. And sadly, it's very rarely possible or within one's power.
Hmmm, oVirt is probably interesting in this space too:

It's more a competitor to VMware clusters though, or was last time I played with it (a few years ago).

It has a decent rep.
I doubt this would actually happen.

As someone with experience running somewhat similar services, I can promise you it does happen. Most customers seem to be honest, but the lengths that a significant minority will go to in order to take advantage of any access or exploit the system are almost unbelievable, and the excuses or arguments they make if you call them on it often read like parody.

When the music industry abandoned DRM it wasn't a big disaster. I don't see why video would be different.

One possibility you might like to consider is that music singles can typically be sold at sub-dollar prices, making an impulse purchase is highly likely, without undermining the commercial viability of the sector. Depending on the nature of the work, the same economics won't necessarily apply to other types of material.

Twice isn't that much.

The bigger issue is their failure to add some context to make the comparison actually interesting. Like they could say that Canadian Prime Ministers are rarely removed from office (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_prime_ministers_defeat... ). Nevermind that it has been done a number of times in an orderly fashion.
Buddhism in Myanmar comes to mind as well, where Muslims are the oppressed party. And Judaism in Israel of course. Religion has always been a useful tool to control a populace — the more orthodox or fundamentalist the better; useful if you want to create a national identity from the ground up.

Isn't the hallmark of a healthy democracy a strict separation of church and state, regardless of the religion concerned?

I made a personal policy to not use it a few months ago. I still have the account, because of some messenger threads, but the app is gone from my phone and I have a policy of only logging into FB itself in a private browsing window. This at least reduces their tracking, and makes it a little harder for me to give in, so I only use it if I'm actively using it for something (e.g. looking for hours on a restaurant that doesn't have a real website, checking event information, finding somebodys birthday). I don't allow passive browsing anymore.

My reason is that it was just becoming too big of an echo chamber. Everyone on it was spouting their opinions and getting waves of agreement, making their opinions stronger, in an endless cycle. I just don't want to be part of it.

The biggest effect it's had on my life is that I get seriously bothered when someone asks me if I "saw their post". I immediately respond with something like "i'm not really on facebook anymore, what are you talking about?". The amount that it's dug itself into everyone's lives in pretty baffling. It's nice to not find myself absently staring at an endless "news feed" of the same soundbites and photos over and over again.

My wife will often be using it and get upset at the stupidity of something she sees, and I can't always resist a told-you-so.

The context of this discussion is about "a high quality text editor".

Of course in the name of not using the same golden hammer for all problems, extremely large systems like the web and text editors should each be considered in their own rights for the best solution for each of those.
I think this is an overly optimistic view. While the new nVidia drivers might support newer cards, they don't update the severely outdated OpenGL 4.1 stack, fix any of the bugs in the OpenGL stack, or provide Vulkan support.

In short, it's difficult for me to be excited about this given you'll effectively be using your 2017 nVidia card with 2010 limitations.

Perhaps the story is different for CUDA support, and maybe Metal somewhat makes up for the lack of modern OpenGL support, but this feels more like a pyrrhic victory.
You are conflating different things.

The EU accession project was abandoned long before Syria, when it became clear a lot of EU countries (Germany above all) were not going to allow it for fear of increased migration numbers. Since then, Erdogan dropped any pretense of liking the democratic process and the rule of law, which were supposed to be strengthened as precondition of joining the EU. He used the real issue of corruption in the secular army as an excuse to strengthen his own position.

The kurdish issue is a long-standing problem and Erdogan uses them for classic "pressure management ": whenever he's under threat, he whips out the kurdish enemy to solidify his support. He's done this pretty much continuously since taking power, making a bit of progress on peace efforts to keep up appearances then cracking down whenever he needs a popularity boost. Like black and red terrorist groups in '70s Italy, kurdish groups are likely infiltrated at all levels by authorities.

Erdogan's wobbling on Syria had little to do with alignment with Putin or the US, and more to do with him initially betting on ISIS then backtracking once it became clear US and Russia weren't going to accept it anymore. The Russian plane shot down and subsequent apology was the end of that particular game, nothing to do with long-term alignment. Turkey had already denied their US bases for a number of operations before then.

Erdogan is not a pawn or even a solid ally to this or that front, he just plays his own fascist game.
The irony on the "high quality code contributions" being that this partnership between Intel and Rackspace was supposed to be a substantial testbed for software development, and a sort of residence program for corporate developers to come up to speed on the code base.

I read the National Review from time to time for a conservative perspective on the news. Most of the time I enjoy it even when I disagree because it's usually thoughtful and well written, but their climate change pieces are abysmal and infuriating. We will do nothing substantial about climate change until it is far too late to actually prevent disaster.
