There's always room for improvement. You could have said the same about craiglists -- what's the need of airbnb, craigslist/couchsurf.com etc. already exists.

I think grandparent post has a good point, I'm also one of the people looking for something cheaper, and most airbnb's are often out of my price range.
The carriers are only "not being attacked" because they are backed by a fuck-ton of nuclear weapons. MAD, 101.
The problem with power over fiber is not the fiber, it's the sensors you put on the other end of the fiber.
Basic branding :
1. How you perceive yourself
2. How you are perceived
3. How you would like to be perceived
i just checked, at least not his twitter password..
AirBnb sells feelings of authenticity, but it comes across in an uncanny-valley sort of way. I did an AirBnB cooking class experience in the suburbs of Mexico City. It was really fun, I got to meet a few great people, and it was in a lovely house. But how genuine are the host's laughs at my jokes when I'm paying him for the class? It doesn't feel real.

Staying at an AirBnB is a less homogenous than staying at the Hilton. There's a bit more risk involved (not necessarily safety, but cleanliness, noise, etc). Hotels, on the plus side, are run like businesses and feel more impersonal. It's more honest than an AirBnB experience in a way.

More to the point, I'm surprised the company keeps improving their product like this. It's not Dropbox or Yelp, which don't feel too different after 10 years.
amazing! Do you have any timelines for portuguese? (And, quite specifically, brazilian portuguese?)

Thanks!
anecdata... Every time I go to HEB almost everyone in checkout line is reusing their HEB "emergency" bags.
The Beatles did this centuries later, announcing the demise of mate Paul McCartney when they recorded "I buried Paul" backwards on the song Strawberry Fields Forever.
What you say is 100% true, but I would go one step further and not have npm installed on any production server.

And it's not specific to npm, I would do the same with gem, pip, cpan, etc. Not to mention curl http://ex.io/install.sh | sudo bash.

Call me old school, but personally, I would avoid installing anything from language specific package managers. I would instead either build an rpm/deb package for every dependencies as a single package or if it's too complex, bundle the dependencies and the application in one package which deploys the bundle under /opt/.

That way I only have one source to check in order to see what is installed on my systems. Also, rpm and dpkg tends to be far better at managing what is installed by each package, and far better at uninstalling everything during cleanups.

Also, mixing a language specific package manager and a distribution package manager can have unforeseen side effects as the two can step on one another (for example, I ran into issues recently with a pip install python-consul overlapping with a yum install salt-minion as both of them download python-requests as a dependency).
They can do it but if it's not profitable, they won't. It's not being lazy, it's being smart in the capitalist sense.
I would think we should fund research and studies that deal with why such a hobby is embarrassing or frowned upon, if not illegal. Try to improve society by tackling the problem, not covering up for someone's misgivings.
It’s not enough to have a slider, you also need to actively market to people looking for cheap places to stay in the first place, or they will never even think to use your precious slider.

This splits AirBnBs marketing on two fronts: high end and low end. This either doubles their marketing cost or halves their marketing budget for each audience. Take your pick.

A company focused on low cost listings only has to market to one audience, which results in significantly cheaper marketing cost, which means better profitability, which means longer staying power, which means eventually they own a large percentage of the low end market.

Game Over.
"Discussions about race/gender" is also political discussion, it's very strange that the author doesn't understand this unless he has some implicit intentions here and separates these topics on purpose.
Regardless of how self-aware they are and how many times the executives have read "The Innovator's Dilemma", eventually every company makes a mistake by missing a disruptive innovation or shift in customer preferences. No one can be right 100% of the time.
It's the same way that google discovers them. The JSON+LD is on the recipe page. They place it there for search engines to discover it, so that they appear in a search result with the JSON+LD data: this data enhances the result, instead of just having the name of your recipe, the result contains description, image and ingredient lists.

You can see this in action on google search: type in something like "Chili soup", then it'll return the image, description, some parts of the recipe, etc.
Talking With–Not Just To–Kids Powers How They Learn Language
This is good advise. The problem right now is getting verified on gdax takes a really long time and doesn’t accept government ids like greencards.

I have a coinbase account that I can buy with but I am stuck at the verification stage on gdax..
Pausing/resuming browser and app logic using Taskq.js
I've been working on a blockchain design involving PoS, and it's certainly more difficult to get right, but it's a solvable problem.

51% attacks normally require 51% stake. It's true that large stakeholders will occasionally have several winning block scores in a row, which lets them create a viable short fork, but it's not really a problem. Short forks just mean that users need to wait for several blocks if they want a high degree of certainty that a transaction is final.

51% attacks could also be more feasible if an attacker can manipulate entropy, but the usual safeguard is to derive entropy from verifier addresses, as NXT does, so that manipulating entropy will cost a verifier their block reward. Then require verifiers to have a certain minimum account age, high enough that grinding attacks become infeasible.

Certainly more complex, but with the right design PoS works fine while saving electricity, and the cost savings are passed on to all stakeholders.
Automatic Learning Rate Scheduling That Really Works
But keep in mind that Coinbase has millions of customers, so even a small percentage with problems can make a scary-looking subreddit.
I don't understand how its anymore or less a gambling app than scott trade or any other retail investing platform. You can still do fundamentals analysis on the stocks you buy.
Component level repairs are definitely possible in many cases - particularly when the issue is a bad electrolytic capacitor or a cracked solder joint - but requires specific electronics experience, which many appliance technicians might not have. Replacing the board becomes a trade-off between more expensive labor vs more expensive parts.

For smaller devices like cell phones it becomes much more difficult due to a combination of miniaturization, specialized parts not available on the general market, and secret schematics that can't easily be derived from the complex multilayer PCBs in use.
This has been possible for a long time with any browser using Selenium for example. It has APIs and client libraries for many languages.

Also using a real browser brings a lot of problems: high resource consumption, hangs, it is unclear when the page has finished loading etc. You have to supervise all browser processes. And if you use promises, there is high chance that you will miss error messages because promises hide them by default.
This response annoys me, because it's essentially victim-blaming.

Yes, ideally you have some automation and staging in your server setup. We're grown-ups. We understand this. But it ignores many other dangerous possibilities here.

Not everyone is blessed with working in a mature, well-funded environment full of experts. Maybe we're talking about a new or small organisation that simply doesn't have the resources and/or knowledge to isolate things with containers or VMs and related admin tools.

Maybe even taking out a staging server is still going to waste significant time resetting everything, blocking other development/deployment jobs in the meantime.

Maybe we're not talking about a server at all, but a developer's personal development workstation where they just use NPM to install a few Node-based tools.

It's all very well saying npm shouldn't be run on production servers, but that doesn't really address the fundamental problem. Do we also ban system package managers, and say the only way to deploy anything is via some sort of imaging tool? What if there's an equivalent screw-up in that orchestration tool and it bricks all 100 servers at once?
I work in Networking and I am floored at the same phenomenon playing out in that sector.

My current job came from a referral from an acquaintance- and he had gone in C2H. I let him know that wasn't even an option for me- I have lots of kids and a housewife spouse- you know the standard situation a decade or two ago- contracts have zero appeal to me.

It was like pulling teeth- they wanted me bad enough that it ended up making it happen, but they treat actual salary slots like golden tickets. They'll spend incredible amounts on contractors (some have been here for YEARS) and professional services, but a normal actual job is like hens teeth.
Plastic bags end up in litter clogging the beaches and stormwater drains much more than other types of packaging.
I'm not arguing this. My point is simply that they wouldn't have gone after him if he didn't surrounded himself in controversy. What he did happens all the time, but unlike many others his outspokenness exposed the corruption and greed which occurs daily in our economic system.
I would say there's very little motivation for hosts to have cheaper rooms. These services make a bad reviews so high cost to the host that everyone just tries to make it 5 stars.
That and in the in the bottom there's always normal long term house renting for very little effort.
First sale doctrine - Red Box is selling it to renters who can easily sell it back to Red Box for a slightly lower price (rental fee). i.e. Red Box sells you "Captain America" for $25, you then sell your copy back to Red Box for $25 - $1.50 per day you owned it, so 3 days later it's $20.50, the rental fee being $4.50. But you only ever end up paying the difference because of tax laws.
Agreed, don’t know why we should suddenly pay more for something we once expected for free.
a) We're a highly medicalized society with very weak institutions for providing informal psychosocial care and support.

b) Saturation marketing of psychiatric medication has caused the general public to grossly over-estimate their efficacy, even in countries where direct-to-consumer marketing is banned.

c) The wholesale price of a generic sertraline pill is about 4¢, so it's cheap enough to dole out like candy.

d) Medicalizing unhappiness is politically convenient.

If you're depressed, you go to your doctor. That's the message you've been told for decades, it's how our society is set up. In another culture, you might speak to your priest or a village elder. It's undoubtedly a net positive that we've got access to some kind of evidence-based psychiatric care, but a lot of the other structures that people used to rely on for psychosocial care have crumbled. We're less likely to know our neighbours. We have fewer close friends. Our employment is more impersonal and precarious. We're less likely to go to church. If we do go to church, it may well be a megachurch with a congregation of hundreds rather than a close-knit community church.

Doling out pills is the absolute cheapest treatment option, even if some proportion of those pills are expensive proprietary drugs. It's orders of magnitude cheaper than psychotherapy and immeasurably cheaper than building a more humane society. Your doctor can't prescribe a good friend, a sympathetic partner or a better job.

It suits your employer if you conceptualize your misery as the symptom of a "neurotransmitter deficiency" rather than a symptom of your crappy job. You probably won't be as productive, but at least you won't go on strike or burn down your office. It suits the government equally well if you see misery as a personal rather than societal problem.

Some people are just depressed for no discernible reason. Lots of people are being diagnosed with depression when they're just struggling with a shit set of circumstances that would make anyone miserable. The medical model helps some number of people in both camps. Society needs to do a better job of helping people live healthy and fulfilled lives.
A Lipschitz function is one that doesn't change to quickly, such that the difference between two values |f(x) - f(y)| is at most as large as the distance between x and y times a constant k i.e. |f(x) - f(y)| <= k|x-y|. In particular this implies that:

f(x) - f(y) <= k|x-y|

hence

f(x) <= f(y) + k|x-y|.

Therefore the function:

u(x) = f(y) + k|x-y|

is an upper bound for the function f(x). Repeating this for multiple points x1, x2, x3,... you can construct a stricter upper bound by taking the minimum:

U(x) = min_i f(xi) + k|x - xi|
BMI is objective, but it is used as a crude proxy for amount of body fat. If the average amount of lean body mass for a given height changes, it would change the correlation between BMI and body fat percentage, which would make it a less accurate proxy for amount of body fat when comparing to old BMIs.
It's dumb for light items, absolutely.

But New Yorkers tend to carry their groceries home in their hands for as far as a mile, instead of wheeling them out in carts to a car trunk and then carrying them 20 feet to the door of the house.

Heavy items (liquids and canned goods and stuff like potatoes) WILL tear through plastic bags if not double bagged. The worst offenders are half gallons of milk/juice, which have sharp corners.

This has happened to me more than once. I've also on occasion just made it home with a bag that's seconds from splitting open.

And then you're half a mile from home with your groceries all over the sidewalk and nothing to put them in.
I agree. Hopefully they turn into a serious competitor, but right now it's a little too early to tell.
It might be "no more shadowbans" rather than "revert all shadow bans".
It's a shame this guy turned out to be another predator.

But for the sake of interesting conversation... I have to say that its hard not to notice the seeming correlation between extreme attractiveness and sexual aggressiveness. You can definitely find individual examples of attractive guys who also exhibit this behavior (Matt Lauer, Kobe Bryant), but the distribution seems lopsided to me.

I wonder if ugly men consider the 'appropriate' amount of sexual assertiveness to be higher than what society deems acceptable, because that is what is required for them to find regular companionship.
Just wanted to say that I've passed hundreds of thousands of dollars through Coinbase and have always received stellar support. Not everyone hates them :)
Right but now that the codes are in effect, what about the website makes it "often not possible" to tell if anyone is non-compliant?
I'll have to give it a closer look, but from a cursory look it seems that there's no avoidance of the bootstrap problem (given two chains, which one does a new node choose?), and no guaranteed Sybil-resistance in the "honest majority" required to avoid the grinding attack.

It would take the endorsement of someone that I consider extremely trustworthy to even go to the trouble of trying to deconstruct whether this approach is valid.

It stands, I think, in stark contrast to the simplicity of the proof-of-work based Sybil resistance, and the "central authority will sign the block" based Sybil resistance.

That said, given this discussion about the nature of trust, this scheme may work in effect, even if in the end it devolves into a centralized or social proof to find the correct chain. I'm not sure it adds a lot on top of that except instilling some potentially false sense of security in naively written nodes.
valid points for sure
This makes intuitive sense with just a basic level of understanding.

A biased dice may appear random, but over time youre bound to roll a given number or set of numbers more often. Over time, it adds up to a big advantage.
Such crawler should not be difficult to ban by looking at stats - if there are many requests per IP per unit of time, or many requests from data center IPs, or many requests from Linux browsers, it is likely bots and you can ban them (you can ban whole data center to be sure).
I'm currently working on a web2py app that I'm working to convert to Django.
I'm fine with that, just call it like it is. This is what Microsoft truly thinks of developing a 1st class open-source solution - not worth their time because it's not profitable enough. So they'll give you a second class solution with the assumption you'd rather have that then nothing.
No the general rating isn't specific enough as you say. You may want a table, a hairdryer, working wifi, etc. which may not alter the overall rating much.
It happens in non-member based stores as well, e.g. Kroger has labels on formula asking anyone that sees it for sell elsewhere to call a number. I assume they just do the legal bullying thing as those reselling often probably can't afford the fight.
I think the times have changed, and methods of survival changes also. We can compare previous behemoths, and their lack of actionable strategy to survive, with current times.

I think we are entering much more violent times, where huge corporations will see a crashing end.

If there will be great, easy to use, easy for user alternative to Facebook, that will be able to fill all the blanks quickly, would Facebook's value, stock and revenue withstand for example 250 Million user drop? Those would be the users that are unlikely to come back, and this would initiate huge migration.

There is a time when a company screws one time too many, disruptor shows up at the right time with the right cards in its hand and literally syphon the value out of the big company. This happened many times before. See how Google showed up with better solution, very adaptive strategy and no annoying noise and rip apart the whole search engine niche.
Just because it worked for you doesn't mean it works for everyone, actually by far you're the anomaly... See https://nypost.com/2016/04/05/are-antidepressants-making-wom...

Also would you say the drug cured you? Are you able to function without taking it now?
Would you recommend GDAX over an alternate such as Kraken?
What fees ? I have never paid a single cent in fees in coinbase. Buying/selling with limit orders is free in GDAX and they pay the miner's fees themselves when you withdraw. I don't even know how they make money.
Please, explain what investing is.
There is nothing odd about it. The JS community is today attracting most script kiddies.

During the bubble, it was the same with PHP, and some of us were part of it.

Youngsters must start to code somewhere.
Remind me again why there are language specific package managers...
Micro/go-config: a pluggable dynamic golang config library
I am curious but I suspect the sugar would still be fine to keep a diabetic from entering Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) which occurs from dehydration. this hits particularly close to home as this is what happens to my own mother when she gets sick, she stops drinking and being diabetic it can escalate.

example, while sick and headed to hospital her blood sugar being pass two hundred. This is having only eaten once in three days. Two hours later it hit seven hundred plus in emergency. They got her out of it but the simple reason is, you dehydrate and toxins build up plus your body starts to break down what it can to get sugar.

anyone you know who is diabetic, nah scratch that, proper hydration is key. Take it from the Dune, water is life.
One would certainly expect that certification or other sorts of quality/service guarantees would allow properties to set higher prices relative to those that don't have them. There are reasons why many people (generally including myself) are more likely to buy used camera gear, for example, from reputable dealers rather than eBay even though the prices are usually higher.
I'm doing. I'll update here soon
I believe this is an uncanny valley.
All I could think when I read that response was "thanks, but you're not Tyler Durden"
Indeed. Groupthink here is very strong, but also peculiar in that HNers like to acknowledge and lament their participation in the hive mind, while simultaneously perpetuating it.
That is how it works in places like Sweden and Norway. The deposit doesn't have to be as high as you suggest to make it work.
What the court considers important is described later on. While the court can't establish any rules it cant later undo, it is a statement from the court and gives us an idea of when and why the accept the petitions they do.

As I understand it, it's _very_ rare to grant cert 'because it's important we do so.' The court accepts something like 1 in 70 petitioned, and a very small number within there are granted under Rule 10(c).
remember the banner ads in search engines before google came about? or how you usually had to go through ten pages of results in order to find what you wanted?

google was an intentional step away from the kind of “engagement” that so much of social media represents — and FB epitomizes. the problem with your argument is that it loses sight of what is really at stake here.
> No matter how well written/sourced/argued your comment is, if it goes against the group belief it will be buried.

These exist, but I'm not sure it's as cut and dry as that. Sometimes arguments you've seen, or made yourself, that were open ended and/or asking for discussion get downvoted, but sometimes it's just a week later and they don't. I think a lot of it has to do with the context people see it in, their own state of mind, and whether someone happened to take up reasoned discussion on the topic before downvotes started accumulating.

Put another way, I think there's a lot of people that see someone looking to talk about a topic and immediately assume they are looking for an opening to express their outside views rather than explore the topic (which is not fair to assume, IMO). Seeing people discuss that topic rationally stalls or negates that knee-jerk reaction.

In other words, it's a crap shoot (but there are strategies for broaching these subjects that work better than others).
I'm having this same discussion with my tax attorney and CPA firms. Right now my corporate structure is all LLC's with plans to elect to be treated as a C Corp for taxation. For smaller companies there are a lot of headaches involved in keeping the documentation for a C Corp. Whether you held all your board meetings becomes important if you get sued and they try to pierce the corprate veil.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because one party is doing it, doesn't mean we want everyone doing it, or even that we wanted it to ever happen at all.
