Makes sense. You were able to find some killer deals with extremely nice places that where waay underpriced because the hosts were decent human beings.

It's still early days. It's like asking if the goals of the Internet are dead because most people log-in via AOL and browse only AOL curated content.

Crypto adoption is still at a very low percentage in the United States. Imagine one day when _most_ people own crypto, and are willing to transact in it, and there is more advanced tooling and software and understanding. What will the world look like then?

As a specific example, take a look at the 0x protocol, and the many relayers that are building on top of it like Radar Relay or Dy/Dx. 0x and these companies are tying to build exchanges that let you trade alts with zero counter-party risk. The trade occurs via on-chain smart contracts.

The above could all fail; I'm not saying it _will_ happen. Just that it's too early to declare the original vision dead.

And as sibling commentators have noted, even today one can easily send BTC peer-to-peer once you have some without any intermediaries.

Furthermore, many of the major hotel chains have a bunch of brands, each of which caters to a particular demographic. Usually one or more of the brands cater to the price conscious and others are higher-end. If anything, there's an argument for AirBnB to have come up with more distinctive branding for a new product.
If this is the best argument you can think of against 7-cent plastic bags, you might as well admit defeat and say that they are the greatest things since sliced bread, because that sounds about the same to me.

Robinhood provides commission-free trading on every stock and ETF. This is huge for small-time retail investors like myself, who want to incrementally buy up positions on a monthly basis. I agree that cryptocurrency trading can potentially end badly, 1929-style, but I also give kudos to Robinhood for increasing competition among brokerages to make small-time retail investing less costly.
I wish fixing of npm global directory permissions was part of the npm install page (https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node), or mentioned at least. My first few npm setups always left me in permissions hell as I'd just use the install page, ignoring the next steps.

The salaries, sadly, are really lagging. I just graduated from UMich and I can name a small handful of people who stayed in the state. The vast majority of them moved out west.

Even when you account for the lower COL, the salaries are just too low in the Detroit area. It’s getting better, but the area needs more real tech employers who value software engineers. The automotive companies still seem to treat them as cost centers.
Excellent anecdata.
Yes.

Bitcoin itself has a laughably low transaction speed, somewhere in the neighborhood of 4/s. The main way around this appears to "trade" crypto in exchanges without most clients ever taking physical possession of their coins via the blockchain itself.

This is why exchanges getting their hot wallets hacked is a big deal, a shocking percentage of crypto "traders" leave their holdings with the exchange.
I live in Austin, Texas and we have a ban on single-use plastic bags. People just have to bring reusable bags when they go shopping or pay extra.

It did seem to cut down on the number of bags you see littered about.
Good thought. But the ecological (read: CO2) impact of paper bags and even cloth ones, are they clearly superior? I doubt it. Its just so dang cheap to make a WalMart bag.

I see 'ban the bag!' as eco-theatre.

I think that really only becomes an issue in countries where there are laws passed that contradict each other and to get anything meaningful done you have to break laws and/or give bribes.

you are right in the sense that the percentage of such posts (focusing on financial instutions) are too high here.

A small percentage should be ok if you believe in the vision, because bitcoin is not just blockchain, it needs a coin with financial value to work, and for that matter it needs users that either trade or at least can enter the system with what they already have (fiat). Such institutions do the onboarding of users. Afterwrds, those users can then stay in the crypto(currency) world without using financial institutions if they wish...
Why do conservatives keep complaining about sites like Twitter, Facebook, etc? Every other group that feels like they are underrepresented in the media and on the internet seem to be able to start their own community. Looking at the popularity of Fox News, I could see there would be a lot of money catering to conservatives.

Heck, I would be willing to start a "conservative Twitter" if I thought I could get the funding and the uptake and I'm not conservative.

" it's users being forced into walled gardens as closed systems added support for open systems, but open systems could not reciprocate, and the market adjusted."

We haven't seen users forced to do much of anything. In general, there's multiple ways of achieving their goals. They almost always pick either a proprietary company that likes lock-in or a free, ad-driven solution that sells them out. They neither take time to understand the consequences of that ahead of time nor cared enough to switch in the years I've explained it to hundreds (thousands?) of them. Very, very few would switch. And for social media, it's usually a network effect they're joining where stadiums worth of people would have to switch at once or close together to avoid chicken-and-egg problem. They could collectively use open standards to communicate like open-source IM and buddy lists but most don't given they'll sacrifice control of their data and privacy for convenience.

There is a market effect like you describe where the suppliers benefit from lock-in. That's been steady a long time with even the open standards often intended to catch new customers in lock-in in other ways. On the demand side, though, the masses haven't used open-source as a factor in their purchasing much at all. So, it's not even a differentiator on their end for most suppliers to target. The market didn't even adjust: it defaulted on lock-in strategies for owners' benefit with companies occasionally experimenting with other methods they sometimes reversed.

chef-client -z -r 'my-cookbook::npm_web_server'

Obviously the behavior of NPM absolutely sucks and is a total mess here, but "I had to rebuild the server", in 2018, is not nearly the material complaint it was a decade ago.

The tradeoff of using rapidly-evolving tools with minimal oversight from the people creating them is that sometimes stuff blows up and not even always for good reasons. It is incumbent upon you, as the recipient of this enormous, jaw-dropping raft of free stuff that occasionally explodes, to write code and operate your systems defensively. Part of which is implementing those systems to be repeatable and quickly reinstantiated.

If you do not like this tradeoff, you have other options as well.

It's definitely not about the "server space". The cost of server space is infinitesimal.

At least on Facebook, if you have a business, you pay for increased intention. The more of your followers who are fake, you're paying for useless views.

Why would anyone want fake followers except to boost their own ego? Unless you're an "influencer" and getting paid based on your follower count?
Quick Security Awareness User Training
I'm really confused. When describing the "Operational Domain" The author explains that a Tesla he drove 18 years ago handled a sample drive on FDR with two disengagements, while the Cadillac wouldn't stay engaged when he tried the same drive. Then says the Cadillac wins by a hair. How does a brand new system that doesn't work reliably win over a system that's been working better for over 18 months?

It was easier for me to setup and maintain multiple virtualenvs. It automatically checks for security vulnerabilities. The docs at http://pipenv.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ are worth a read. It might be a bit more opinionated than some folks are used to.

> Are you saying there is a special, clearly defined sort of masculinity that is toxic, yet extricable from masculinity itself?

I mean, whether or not the lines can be cleanly drawn, there is quite obviously a divide. Think humble family man vs. aggressive jock. (Or, if you’re Christian, Jesus is a perfect example of non-toxic masculinity.) Unfortunately, we often seem to glorify the toxic kind in our media: warriors, gangsters, womanizers. Also, there are plenty of cultures around the world that do masculinity very differently than we in the West — and it has little to do with relative levels of testosterone.

I think it’s also disingenuous to say that toxic masculinity poorly defined. It’s not a buzzword, but an entire subfield of sociology that has years of research behind it.

I'm not sure that reviewing what went wrong and how to prevent that in the future is victim-blaming. Problems happen, and sometimes you need to change the way you do things to prevent problems in the future. Victim-blaming would be telling a victim to change when they really shouldn't need to. It's always a trade-off between security and usability, and in the case of the OP, he should have leaned more towards security. Did OP cause this? No, but OP could have prevented this. Is that victim-blaming? I don't think so.

>[T]hat doesn't really address the fundamental problem.

The fundamental problem of human error is unfixable. Human error can be mitigated through more robust systems, such as separate staging and production environments. Is encouraging more robust protection victim-blaming? I don't think that it is.
+1 For tuning out corporate media. I see HFCS and outrage the same way: addictive and unhealthy, profiteering at my expense.
The ideal scenario is to reward customers for being environmentally conscious as oppose to penalising those who aren't. eg. A 5p-off your shopping incentive for every re-used bag.
However, sadly I don't think this would work as well currently.
Nonsense. The reason this particular tax works is not because people can't do without the 5p, it's because every conversation with a cashier includes "would you like a 5p bag with that?". In other words, you're forced to consider it every time you buy something. That sort of repetition is powerful for changing habits.
The Internet used to have laughably low speed as well. Are you old enough to have used a dial-up modem?

You are right that 4 tx/s is too low in the long-run. But people are innovating: DAG networks like Nano, BTC's Lightning Network, Ethereum's Plasma and sharding, etc.

Maybe those ideas will work, maybe they won't, but very smart people like Vitalik believe they will work, and they are putting serious time and effort into them. Happily, Lightning Network, sharding and other proposals are making serious pushes forward this year as a top priority, so we don't need to argue -- we'll soon see how well these upgrades work in practice.

It's probably not practical to implement something like this city by city, it has to be statewide or countrywide.

That link also states a "higher carbon footprint" for the reusable bags if not reused. I believe the core argument for banning disposable bags, straws, etc is because these throwaway items end up on the sides of highways or in rivers and beaches. If ALL of your trash ends up in a landfill instead of out in the environment, the higher carbon footprint to manufacture them is worth it.

Regen cancells some (most?) of "aggressive driving" leaving speed (i.e. wind resistance) as the major killer of range. If they're deployed in thick urban areas that might not be an issue.
I live in Austin and the change was very welcome here as the city is considered liberal. About a mile away in a conservative county they would probably never have such a ban.

You can purchase bags however, I think they cost $1. For my family the ban worked, we always reuse our bags now. Before it was easy to forget even though we try to always help the environment.
> It works sometimes however. My comment [1] was controversial and was moving up and down between negative and +4 votes for the first two hours of its life. After I made the edit complaining about the downvotes, it started rising rapidly and is now resting at +22.

Downvotes are also disabled after a period of time. A comment can only go up or maintain its rank once that has happened. This is evident when reading older threads.

That probably doesn’t account for all of the upvotes in your example, of course.
Many Airbnbs I've stayed in will just have a key under a house plant or doormat. The key can be a little tricky to find that way but for a lower cost listing it's totally fine (by me).

I suspect that's the sort of practice they're trying to parse out for this Plus offering.
pipenv has Pipfile support, which is nice because you don’t need multiple requirements.txt floating around, and pinning is way nicer. Apart from that, it isn’t unlike virtualenvwrapper, but it’s way less hacky. Works on non-bash compatible shells and Windows, it loads .env files automatically, and it’s generally a pleasure to use. Highly recommended.
> and is at once more capable and more revolutionary than anything Tesla is doing.

Yes and no.

Part of the reason why Tesla is behind is because they're gimping their engineers by focusing on optical-only solutions.

IIRC, Cruise Automation uses LIDAR, which gives better sensory data. IMO, this is where AI really has an edge: when they start to use sensors that humans don't have. LIDAR accurately maps the distance between the LIDAR and every physical thing in a certain radius.

Solving the problem with LIDAR isn't "revolutionary" per se. Its kind of the obvious way to do autonomous cars. It is a more expensive approach however.

I guess the end results are all that matters however. At which point, I am more bullish on any LIDAR approach. If LIDAR makes it easier to code and more reliable for AIs to detect where they are in 3d space, it should be used (and then you try to solve the mass-production problem to bring down the cost of LIDAR units).

I think we've seen the limits of the optical-only approach from Tesla: https://www.wired.com/story/tesla-autopilot-why-crash-radar/
