> He emailed Airbnb's trust and safety team that night. Nothing.

5 days and then a "shrug"? Wow. That's appalling as far as Customer Service goes. I haven't listed on, or rented from AirBnB. But is this kind of customer service normal or is the incident quoted above an outlier? Even if they intended to respond with a shrug, why did it take 5 DAYS for a response??

Has AirBnB become so big that, like Craiglist, they don't give a Sh*t anymore to the issues their users / customers face because they know that they've captured huge chunk of the market and know that their users ain't going anywhere else anytime soon?
Start by not calling it "the dark web".
My general experience is that Java needs an IDE because the language forces a bunch of boilerplate and a file/directory structure that is very difficult to navigate without a bunch of tooling. However, in other languages, the gap between the IDE experience and the well-configured vim/emacs experience is much narrower.
Refrigerating bread ruins it. Freezing does not. (Which the linked article does state.)
I don't think there _is_ a market for this over-engineered, overpriced monstrosity.
Man, the more I read stories like this about AirBnB the more I want them to fail. People hate regulations until they get screwed, and suddenly they understand that sometimes regulations exist for a reason. Beyond that though, what I despise is that AirBnB seems to reap all the profits and accept none of the blame. They fought to avoid paying taxes and whined when they lost, they refuse to take down listings when presented with evidence of them being illegal, they purposefully make complying with authorities difficult, they got their start by effectively breaking the terms of agreement on craigslist and spamming people like crazy to kickstart traffic to their site.

I love the idea of sharing homes. I just hate how AirBnB is doing it, and the more I read about them (obviously the media is writing articles to get clicks, so I'm sure it's somewhat biased) the more I think we'd be better off without them.

The repication crisis is rooted not in math but in between math and reality. Math do not work with reality, math lives in its own ideal universe. To use math for data analisis we need reason about how much data we need to separate hypothesis, we need choose acceptable p-value, we need to choose math methods. There are guides how to choose method for data, that guides needs no math but understanding what experiment is. There are 'experimental psychology', and a bunch of good books on this topic, covering all concepts that one needs to speak about choosing math methods. As for p-value and sample sizes -- there are agreement that experiment needs ~30 people and p<0.05.

If we add something like ability to use R or SPSS, then we get scientist skilled enough to setup good experiment.

The replication crisis is not error of individuals, it is system error. Psychology is much more complex than, for example, quantum physics, there are much more causal links in psychology and no one know even how to speak about mind, for example: is it possible to differentiate perception from memory or from thinking? Perception cannot work without memory, and there are no way to separate them as phenomena. Psychology is much more complex than psysics, and at the same time for physicist is is normal to have p<0.001 or sample size of 10k data points, while psychology is bound to p<0.05 (it is probability to get false positive) and sample size of 30. This is itself explains while physics have no replication crisis while psychology have one.
> this is fascinating book that anyone interested in rocketry will enjoy

It's criminal to limit it to people interested in rocketry. It's also fascinating to anyone interested in chemistry, engineering, history, and plain "stuff going boom", one of the Internet's most hilarious stories (Derek Lowe's "Sand won't save you this time") is essentially a straight excerpt from Ignition!, on Chlorine Trifluoride:

> It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.

And frankly, just open the PDF and look at pages 2 and 3, if that doesn't convince you the book is worth reading I'm not sure you have a soul.

Plus it's a very short book, the body itself clocks in at under 190 pages.

Someone (working now at Apple) wrote a super fast list component in HTML for Firefox OS so this can definitely be done.
I started "The Ascent of Money" and was very happy with the first half or so - then I set it aside for a few years and worked for a hedge fund. When I picked the book up again I couldn't stand how basic, boring, and mistaken the second half was. I wish I could follow your example and suggest a better book :)
2 and 3 aren't really restrictions. I can download multiple libraries worth of books in an afternoon. I can buy a PC for a thousand dollars that is basically a supercomputer compared to computers 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago.

The biggest reason I suspect it will be solved by one person is it's "just" a math problem. Most of the hardest problems in mathematics were solved by a single person. Building off of the works of others of course, but rarely in some big team or corporate project. 9 women can't have a baby in 1 month. The research process of big corporations or even academia isn't really amenable to actually solving hard problems.
Sure, though IP address of server usually has nothing to do with where the actual business is located.
Another thing is that it is quite stupidly routed in some areas with real trails.

As a reasonably experienced long distance hiker, and being from Canada when I heard about the trail nearing completion my first though was, can I through hike this. I looked into the logistics of doing this in about a year of hiking . Crux would be getting out of the North and mountains and into SK for winter.

Anyway, my first thought was damn there is a lot of road walking up north. Then I decided to see what it looked like when it ran through the town I grew up in, take a look: http://se.ri0.us/2017-09-02-134045614-af037.png

Notice how part of the 'trail' isn't even connected to the rest, how it does a lollipop in the southeast

And if thats bad, a little west of there it has a huge lollipop into another town: http://se.ri0.us/2017-09-02-134257918-22a76.png

And the Toronto area, just goes out to Detroit and then nothing: http://se.ri0.us/2017-09-02-134402430-7fd8a.png

I get that its a connection of recreational trails and some of the weird routing is because the town's local trails are not meant to be trails 'to' somewhere but really, this is just bad design.

As the trail does lollipops and has dead-ends I really don't think its fair to compare its length to more proper trails that one could reasonable follow end to end without needing to hike segments multiple times (there and back).

I really wish The Great Trail was an awesome, trans-Canada hike, I really do, buts its just a great disappointment to me.

I think funding/support this trail had would have been better spent on some of the amazing trails Canada has like the Great Divide Trail.

Intelligence clearly isn't a one-off/recent thing, since we observe remarkably intelligent behavior from cephalopods, which are vastly distant in the tree of life and not recent from an evolutionary perspective. We also know intelligence is also clearly not a binary attribute from many animal and human studies.

The fact that we don't know how higher-order intelligence works in general is exactly why it will be emergent rather than designed.

You shouldn't worry so much about consensus, but instead use your senses and your brain to make up your own mind. That is the approach that gave us the enlightenment.

> Https (reasonably) guarantees confidentiality and integrity of the connection to the server, nothing more and nothing less.

Nah, this is pretty wrong. It would be pretty useless (if not dangerous) if that were all it did. The most important thing it establishes is the server's authenticity, i.e. you don't want a tamper-proof and confidential connecting with the wrong server! And moreover, once you can guarantee authenticity, the rest are secondary since they're easy to subsequently establish via key exchange and hashing.

- Evolution is massively parallel.
Isn't Trivex optically worse and more expensive than the standard CR-39 and just insignificantly less thick? I have a -4.00 prescription, and I didn't think Trivex was worth it, because I don't need shatter protection.

Also, interestingly, in Mexico PD is part of the prescription.
> Sure and I'm not saying to block them all. I'm saying it's fine to take a look at them individually, there are no sacred cows, and labeling something "____ Science" doesn't make it beyond reproach.

So you request a specific approach with reason and care offered, but base this on the generalism, "Science is not sacred?" Seems contratradictory but okay...

Being specific, why wouldn't we carefully measure the impact of private industry on public health? Private industry isn't on the hook for health emergencies, the public is. So we shut this down because... "waste?"

Given the the ongoing phenomenon of our executive parroting nonsense, pseudoscientific marketing speak like "clean coal" it certainly appears to be the executive helping the coal industry with it's long-standing and well-documented agenda of stifling public research and denying transparency.

> If you're upset that your particular cherries aren't the ones being picked, and it really seems like that's the root of your dissent, then so be it. That's hardly scientific though. That's just being a sore loser.

I don't get why cancelling an ongoing public health research project is "my cherries". If the coal industry and their legacy, heavily subsidized, environmentaly damaging, largely export-driven, minimally job creating industry is causing public health crisis, I do not want to further reward them.

It's their cherries you're proposing to pick, all the while suggesting that scientifically driving inquiry into public health is a luxury we may not be able to afford.

To which I ask: why? What's in it for anyone? Why are you proposing that defunding public health and environmental research is fair but coal industry subsidies are conveniently absent from your austerity program. Why?

Why is this your cherries and why should the public not only be on the hook for long term health and cleanup issues, but be forbidden from even asking questions about said potentialities? Can't we at least study and plan for potential expenses?
XUL is the same XUL both in extensions and in browser ui.

XPCOM is another independent technology https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM.

They are disabling the direct access from extensions to apis used by browser itself (that is access to XUL _and_ XPCOM), to be able to modify the browser ui without worrying about breaking extensions, with the goal to remove XUL eventually.
Were you using a motorized tripod set to track the sun? I would guess that was the cause of the most extreme damage.
So to check, I googled C++11 threads memory model, and it[0] looks like his main complaint isn't helped by C++ 11 threads, as they essentially allow shared state too. They are also a thin veneer over the OS threads, for unix types, pthreads I imagine.

I don't agree.

Yes it's a change but it serves a good purpose - to standardize the extension development and making sure that 1 extension can be running on multiples browsers e.g. Firefox, Opera, Edge, etc..
> spinlocks for performance critical code (mutexes are slow).

Gah, no. Userspace spinlocks are the deepest of voodoo and something to be used only by people who know exactly what they are doing and would have no difficulty writing "traditional" threaded code in a C/C++ environment. Among other problems: what happens when the thread holding the spinlock gets preempted and something else runs on the core? How can you prevent that from happening, and how does that collision probability scale with thread count and lock behavior?

Traditional locking (e.g. pthread mutexes, windows CriticalSections) in a shared memory environment can be done with atomic operations only for the uncontended case, and will fall back to the kernel to provide blocking/wakeup in a clean and scalable way. Use that. Don't go further unless you're trying to do full-system optimization on known hardware and have a team full of benchmark analysis experts to support the effort.
He mentions in the article they rented out “thousands” of lenses. I’m guessing the few lenses they have to repair because of this is barely over their normal repair load.
Actually, it still does support legacy extensions and probably will do for a while. There are `browser/features/*.xpi` files in the browser install directory. Even in 57, they're all "legacy" extensions, and the only WebExtension there is `screenshots@mozilla.org.xpi` (even then, still a "legacy" install.rdf-type file, with embedded WE).

And I've just copied the legacy `https-everywhere@eff.org.xpi` non-WE addon there - and it worked ;)

I'm sure they're going to plug this "hole" shut, but it's still there. As well as patching omni.ja.

I think I might've known a couple people I could bet they're borderline psycho/sociopath, but they definitely didn't seem to understand other people, and they just steamrolled through them and life, lying, manipulating, without ever noticing. So seems to me you're quite functioning compared to them.

After all, being unable to totally and completely understand other people is part of the human experience.

Yes, of course, math is needed, when you try to do something more complex than just separate two hypothesis with a ready-made method. But to start with data analisis you need no math. It is about different levels of qualifications.
They were very upfront about the fact that eclipse damage would not be covered.

They also don’t cover damage from Color Runs, and they’re upfront about that too.
Yeah, this is the gist of my question. Basically if programming language inc(C) has an overloaded function for both memcpy(alias...) and memmove(restrict...), how does the type information enter the system which allows the compiler choose the correct procedure?

I'm interested in any language innovations that have a smooth, suave feature for this. Rust changes the default, but in some sense its not an absolute improvement; where C bluntly assumes memmove(), Rust bluntly applies memcpy().
Ask HN: Thoughts on Vertx Framework
I've been evaluating a number of different frameworks to learn next. One I've looked at a number of times is Vertx. Most of the applications I deal with are B2B based applications which have longer running report tasks, integrate with outside services, and have a decent sized web frontend. For the frontend I'd probably use something like Angular to integrate with the backend. Some of the applications also do require higher throughput, but that isn't a strict requirement, though being able to scale the backend up is.

Overall, just curious on everyone's thoughts on Vertx and it's ecosystem versus other java frameworks.

WebExtensions is the lowest common denominator.

Yes, it's a good purpose to have a standard base. It's bad, though, that nothing besides the blessed parts are officially customizable anymore.

Previously, extensions had messed up with anything they wanted (they could override most of the browser's core). That had allowed third parties to do incredible things that weren't ever considered by the browser developers.

With WEs, though, the only things that browser developers had specifically thought about are possible. All for user's convenience, so they can switch to Chrome, Edge or Opera.

That probably just has to do with the fact that you don't drink often enough. Someone who drinks a glass of red wine a day won't tend to get drunk (or even buzzy) after drinking. People that only drink once or twice a year, most likely will.

(This obviously also depends on your body type, how much you've eaten beforehand, etc as well)

I tend to drink one glass a day, but also take occasional breaks, and personally I haven't noticed any differences in ability and performance. I've also taken 1-2 month breaks from drinking (without issues -- always good to test once in a while!) but it doesn't really increase or decrease my ability.

And furthermore, the vast majority of people in the USA are not having too little salt.

The vast majority of them have way way too much salt in their diet, therefore it is perfectly honest to say that high sodium content in food in the USA is "bad for you", because we live in a context where too much salt is the problem, and not too little.
I don't think that's the point of plea bargaining, but plea bargaining is an American thing and we don't have it in England.

Waiting for a case to make its way to court would take far too long. Police will search through seized evidence and immediately start trying to identify the children in the images; working out if the images are new; and working out where the images were created.

They'd also want to see if there are any images of abusers in there too, and if those abusers are already known to police, and if those abusers are the same person as the alleged possessor of images of child sexual abuse currently being detained by police.
