The kind of tenancy laws I read in articles like these, sound absolutely idiotic. If you let someone into your home, and they aren't on the lease, you should be able to kick them out anytime they overstay their welcome. If you do sign a lease with someone, and they haven't paid their rent, you should be able to throw their stuff out and change the locks as soon as their security deposit has run itself out.

As a former master tenant who had to deal with 4 sub-tenants, I lived in mortal fear of the day one of them realised that they could just stop paying me rent, and there's nothing I can do about it whatsoever. It boggles my mind the amount of legal BS you have to wade through, just to reclaim your home from someone who thinks they are entitled to free housing.
The last A round I did a few years ago, funded by a top tier investor, had no background check. It involved basic, fairly routine, due diligence and several conversations.

I'd be surprised to hear of a background check on an A round in the US, unless it involved a particularly unusual investment size or where something very specific threw up a bad red flag. And usually if you can command a massive A round, you're already a known quantity.
> ""Sticks and stones my break my bones, but words will never hurt me", is an objectively true statement."

>> It's not.

This is an objectively false statement. Unless the words are being uttered through a loud speaker, in which case that is a different story. You can not back your assertion with science or facts, only emotion and your own personal perception. It's your understanding, interpretation, and investment in words that causes you pain. Not the words themselves.

> It's not, and this "blame the victim" mentality you're displaying is, well, quite frankly, rather jerk-ish.

You're just illustrating my point. We use the term "jerk" to refer to true jerks sometimes, but often also to avoid facing hard truths. It's the same thing as calling someone a jerk for saying overweight people aren't beautiful.

Edit:

People hurt by words aren't victims of anything but their own weakness.

The only thing wrong with the cleaning fee is the name. As as host i prefer longer stays rather than having to exchange keys every day because that's what cost me time/money. It's not like i need $200 to clean but i might have to take half day of work, drive a long distance, wait for delayed guests etc. Much easier to just deal with long staying guests.
I pay my turnover crew a living wage and it's $350. It's a 6 bedroom and takes nearly all day to do it right. Laundry is a big part of the fees. If it's bigger than an apt and you aren't paying much for cleaning they probably aren't doing it right. And you're likely sleeping in uncleaned sheets.

I don't think most hosts are gaming it to make money, it's just expensive in relation to the nightly. Usually when I explain the costs the guests understand.

Many see the actual cleaning fee, think it's ridiculous even though it's not and then decide to trash the place because they think they paid to do so. And then that causes you to have to go higher to cover the average turnover.
Who is the crazy one here?
I have a Neo2 seedbox. It runs great. Rock solid. Pulls 900mb/second over gbe. Barely hits 5% cpu running dozens of torrents, over a VPN it handles, saving everything over NFS. Size of a damn oreo. The OLED kit is great. Easy library and you can write text or 1bpp images to it. Refresh rate 0.3Hz is a bit annoying but it looks cool as hell. Nice undocumented feature: the microusb and full-size usb ports have the +5v and ground wires bridged, so you can power it from an A-A cable. I like this because the A cable is the same side as the ethernet and looks cleaner. [1]

If what you're dealing with is actually a git repository, in 2.0 you can just use "src = fetchGit ./.;"-- this is what the expression for building Nix itself does :).

Otherwise you can use filterSource (documented in the linked article, the Nix manual) to roll your own filtering.

If you have any problems with either of these I encourage you to join #nixos on freenode and ask. Hope this helps! :)
please, that’s not what this is about.

this is an issue of individual liberty, and the freedom from oppression/being forced to live under someone else’s rules.

these are desirable qualities for any self aware individual. no human, chinese or otherwise, wants to live without this concept of freedom.

The Wheel: A More Efficient Method for the Production of Round Ceramic Wares (3500 B.C.)

In today's world, many governments use nationalism to help control their domestic situation. China, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam all do that; and one way in which they do that, is by claiming some territories in the South China Sea. Other nations (like the US, Russia, etc.) are concerned about who will end up winning the argument: everyone wants their regional allies to win, and their adversaries to lose.

All these claims are just a boring old geopolitical game, which has been played over land control for as long as sovereign states existed (and it was modified only slightly from the tribal times).

There's nothing "fair" or "right" or "reasonable" about these games. It might seem as a zero-sum game since only one country can usually own a given piece of land. But actually, it's not zero-sum: each government increases its domestic popularity by yelling loudly about how the evil neighbors are taking away what "rightfully" belongs to their own nation.

>The Go version might be imperative, but at least it's clear.

Depends on how do you define clear. If huge manually optimized pile of imperative spagetty is clear, than yes. My definition of clear presumes sophisticated abstractions making hard things easier to reason about and comprehand, not a pile of hand-written state machines.

I have the same feeling regarding the meta group on Stack Overflow (and some other prominent ones).

There is so much hatred, looking down on people who ask a question that I decided to never get back there anymore (and the two bugs I found are lost). This is truly a toxic environment (and apparently happy with that).

What I find amazing is that many of the people who behave like 4 yo playing in the sand when in meta give fantastic answers on the regular site.
People have been claiming that email is dying since the mid-90s. And here we are, with the only messaging protocol that's available to everyone on the internet: email.
I have to second the local privacy aspect, and compliance with any applicable local laws around information handling. The word privacy doesn't show up once on that checklist. It should probably be a separate item under Material Agreements. As an issue, this is only going to get a lot more important. Particularly for US start-ups pushing into European markets. Investors are going to start universally requiring to see it broken out for each market that's important to the company.
Hmm, a Netflix for news.

Perhaps you would end up with the same issue as Netflix where content providers raise their prices to the point that the aggregator would develop their own content in-house.

Or you could do Spotify for news, and dole out a percentage of the monthly subscription to publications based on the number of articles read.
People can still use other apps, though it's getting tougher, but there are still other options, and if people really care more about privacy they may get a proxy and use Telegram.
You might also be interested in looking at MiniZinc (http://minizinc.org/). It is mostly used int the constraint programming community, but the language is solver technology neutral and there are back-ends that translate to MIP systems.

The MiniZinc Challenge (http://www.minizinc.org/challenge2017/results2017.html) is a competition between various solvers where the organizers enter some MIP solver back-ends also.

Personally I enjoy using MiniZinc as a language for prototyping models in, and enabling me to experiment and compare various different solver technologies easily.
Yes sometimes the owner does it and they are free to value their time as they see fit. If it’s too much I simply won’t stay there especially for a short trip. I would be pissed if it wasn’t clean though.

Giuliani's record is mixed. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2007/sep/01/...
I understand and I agree with you on that matter. But do you think that west is not part of that oppression by imposing sanction of various countries and resulting in degraded quality of life ? Don't you think they armed rebels that resulted in much chaos and death and inhumanity ? If someone is dead there is no talk of humanity and liberty. Liberty starts with peace. I understand that there are certain area where China and other countries can improve but other countries should not use that as pretext for their political and economical agenda. And indeed there is much more lot space and areas for west has to workout given they have made such tremendous scientific and economical development.West's actions don't reflect their achievements.

And another point is liberty given by democracy is useless if that does not translates to wishes of the populace and that is happening right now in West and US. Its there but has no effect

The best example I can find on short notice is this hexagonal grids article:

You could likely find more by searching HN comments for the phrase “previous discussion,” because people tend to post links to the previous HN submissions.

It doesn’t bother me, since there are likely always new HN readers who haven’t seen great “classic” articles.

Since you mentioned having a gun, this is one of the huge differences between your average liberal elite and the average rural dweller.

People on the left simply don't understand the difference of living on your own. The independence is completely at a different level. You may very well need a gun to fend off some crazy banging at your door that won't go away. In the city, you have the assumption that the cops will swoop in when you call 911 (albeit a very mistaken assumption).

There is a lot of pundit handwaving going on right now saying that it's all just money that keeps gun laws from being passed, but people forget where the NRA gets its money. It's from individuals (and for the PAC, they don't even allow corporate donations).

There are lots of people that truly see any gun laws as government overreach from a bunch of politicians who are usually flanked on both sides with gun toting body guards.

Well, sorry for that tangent.

While in New York, I was frustrated with my cousin because she got caught multiple times trying to get off the subway. People kept getting in her way.

I told her to just walk out the exit confidently and directly. If people get the sense that they need to move or be bumped, they will move.

I forget what my cousin said to me, exactly, but it made me realize that she was a slight woman whereas I am a not slight man. People really will move out of my way if it appears I will plow through them. If they don't, I will push through them. For her, that strategy doesn't work as well.

My point is - there are some situations, for some people, where fighting is an option. Just like there are some people and situations where fighting isn't an option. Beating someone isn't always an option.

Peer review of code and documentation works well. It can be formal or informal. After I was unexpectedly put in charge of a three-person programming team 32 years ago, I started giving my code to another programmer to look at before it shipped. I hadn't heard of peer review so I called it the "Will you have a look at this?" system. That became the norm in the team.

Later on, at another company, we had formal meetings to do the peer reviews with software to document the results. The meetings could be brutal. I remember submitting about 1,000 lines for review, which was a bit long, and the only thing the reviewers found wrong was that one line had "while(something)" instead of "while (something)". They kept going on and on about it. I did get an exemption from having the rest of my code reviewed, though.

I've lately been thinking as trauma as an over-fitting problem. Trauma changes your internal representation of the world and makes you react differently in certain situations. An example would be to develop anxiety when in the freeway after a single accident, when you've been on the freeway thousands of times before. It is statistically unlikely that something will happen again, yet you feel anxiety.

It calls my attention that in the abstract they mention that it can recognize false beliefs about the world in other agents. Seems to me like a potential approach to recognize negative beliefs of others, and maybe be able to quantify trauma (and depression).
