Honestly I don't think most Airbnb users are looking for a hotel like experience. They're looking for something in between renting an apartment in a foreign city for a month and a hotel--a genuine short term apartment rental.

I use Airbnb a lot, but I actually agree with what you're saying. If you want a profession hotel experience, stay at a hotel. Sometimes it's preferable to have more space, maybe a kitchen, and more privacy, even if it means giving up daily maid service, a front desk, or other typical hotel amenities.
It also means "of low quality", so some disambiguation may be required.
Byrne has been dead for 200 years. The reason he wanted to be buried at sea, was so he would not be dissected. That ship has sailed long ago. There is also no one alive that knew Byrne personally.

Thus, the only reason to bury Byrne at sea according to his wishes is to feel good about ourselves and to revel in our superiority over the unethical people of the past. In addition, burying the bones at sea, would also bury the story of Byrne in a large way.

The better thing to do is to continue displaying the bones but with a prominent plaque that tells his story and how easy it is for people who think they are doing good for humanity in general (and Hunter certainly thought so) to do very bad things to actual humans. That is a lesson that will need repeating for a long time.

I think you're forgetting the large learning curve to get to that point. You learned how to build the kernel, git, the kernel style guide, signed-off-bys, checkpatch, get-maintainer and finally running git-email. And there's the assumption that you knew what to change and how to fix it, but most kernel error messages are opaque - it can often be impossible to find out why a system call returns -EINVAL or where an error message comes from.

And that's just for a small change. Large and/or controversial changes often involve multiple rounds of review and can take (literally) years to get upstream. I'm sometimes amazed when I read LWN about how long it has taken for features to get integrated into the kernel.

I don't know what Unleashed OS is planning but it seems obvious we could make this a whole lot simpler.

> But who regulates the regulators?

You and people like you talk as though the various regulatory bodies simply issue an edict and every corporation is obligated to oblige that very second, and it's ridiculous.

1. The regulations themselves are often based heavily upon opinions and trusted advice from people who actively are or who formerly were in the industry being regulated, not simply dreamed up and pulled from someone's ass

2. There is an entire months long process of discussion, meeting, decisions, appeals, revisions, etc. engaged in between experts on both sides, lawyers on both sides, etc. By the time a regulation becomes required law, it's likely been attended to by a few hundred if not thousand people from both private enterprise and Government over months if not YEARS of work.

3. Once a regulation becomes law, companies often have months of forewarning to get into compliance. In the event that a business is non-compliant with something, unless it's immediately life threatening, they are given warnings, written warnings, guidance, possible solutions, etc. Regulators are not some comic book villain trying to fuck over mom and pop stores. They are attempting to ensure the safety, efficiency, and long life of everyone involved in a business. They want you to be compliant, not to file paperwork and shut you down.

> As bad as this example is, have you never heard of the nightmares people fall into dealing with government bureaucracies?

Oh I have, and for years and years I took them at face value but ANECDOTE IS NOT EVIDENCE. Almost every time you hear about some person who ended up on the wrong end of a regulator's pen, if you start digging you'll find a long history of shady ass behavior from that person which is conveniently omitted from their account of the events, for I'm sure totally-not-lying reasons.

> Regulation isn't obviously positive just because there are reasons people trot out to justify it.

The vast majority of regulations are written in the blood of the people who had to die to show us that storing some chemical in a break room gave every 3rd employee cancer, or every person who ate fish from a polluted river who didn't know that the chemicals in it would destroy their bodies. The fact that you personally don't understand whatever is behind a given regulation, does not make it unimportant or frivolous.

> But neither does the Social Security Administration, the Department of Justice, my local police department, my local school board, or any post office in which I've ever found myself.

Except you can affect those if you get off your dead ass and vote.
Hey! So, this project looks really interesting. I work at GitHub on the Partner Engineering team, we'd be happy to help guide your implementation to follow our best practices and help drive its success. Feel free to reach us at partnerengineering@github.com!
That should tell you a lot about the price you pay for using AWS.

You pretty much made the case for why claiming that the EC was not intended to prevent the tyranny of the majority is an inaccurate statement.

You need the state level contests to moderate elections. Just because reactionaries control one party today doesn't change that. The country would have been a shambles if the northern political machines of the 20th century had unchecked power.
We run FaunaDB as a service, or you can license it for on-prem use. Drivers and tooling are all open however, and we plan to release the source for correctness testing as well.

Our property tests are written in Scala as a Monad for controlling execution and random sample generation, and our internal distributed test harness uses Akka. This worked out nicely because we were able to make the relevant integration and fault tests scale from local runs via SBT to full geo-distributed clusters and OS-level fault injection.
Oh look, the trolls came out to play
What if there is evidence that they, in fact, did this? Everyone should be very concerned about this, whether the outcome played in favor of or damaged your particular party's side. This would be an attack on our democracy from a foreign government. How Trump handles this news is going to be very telling on where his loyalties are (beyond just himself).

Yes, I'd say 1 out of 3 times I fail the first test, and have to solve another identification task. I have to do these quick often because of the VPN service I use, which triggers Google searches to use their anti-DDOS measures.

The puzzles where there is a single image divided into cells, often I find myself not sure if a cell should be selected or not. They may ask "select cells with street signs" and there will be a cell with a small corner of the sign shown. Should I select that? Technically it _does_ show a part of the sign, but I honestly don't know if clicking those leads to successes or failures.

Additionally, ones that show multiple images and you need to select all images that contain some object, I struggle with ones where there _might_ be a sliver of a car, or storefront, or street, within the view. Should those be selected? They obviously aren't the subject of the photo, but again, technically they are a part of the image. Again, I don't know what Google is looking for with these questions.

And the exclusivity factor. Whether a hidden vacation spot, restaurant, food, or under-appreciated spirit. Even a paid app from an indie dev gets is often more loved than the same app from mega corp would even if given away free.

Also why every large brewer has a bunch of "micro" brew labels with the big corp name nowhere in sight.

Apparently it's struggling over here as well:

That said, I suspect there's more chance of local newspapers surviving in the UK than the US, if only because we tend to like tradition more over here and because local papers in many UK towns are well... locally owned. For instance, the main one in my town is (as far as I can tell) run by the community, written by regular people there and funded by ads almost entirely placed by local businesses. So there's less chance of a bean counter closing it down because the company's bottom line is at risk.

Overall though, they're also not doing so hot overall.

"Enormously" is relative. Do you have any numbers?

Because of the Bus factor. Many more people already know Python.

The smartest move is the one that makes the most economical sense. Do you have number to prove it's a smart decision?
Let's see: Pick a system that we know to be linear. Get a lot of pairs of real inputs and outputs and find the coefficients of the linear function that relates the inputs to the outputs. Then given a new input, can say what the output would be.

Okay, the function, system between a violin on the stage at Carnegie Hall and a seat near the roof is linear. So, I'm typing quickly here, do regression with a recording at the stage and at the seat and look for the coefficients in the convolution. Then given an oboe, can say what it will sound like in the seat.

Hooks law with small deflections is linear. So, take independent variables the forces on a space frame and the dependent variables the deflections and estimate all the spring stiffness values.

Take 200 recipes for tomato sauce all from the same 10 ingredients, for each recipe measure the weight of each ingredient and the weight of the protein in the final sauce and estimate the protein in each of the 10 ingredients. Then for any new tomato sauce recipe, weigh the ingredients and get the protein in the final sauce.
Funny enough, I learned how to/started to use TOML today. I was running some [redacted] experiments using a .pyc compiled script and wanted to experiment with parameters -- but then I had to compile the script again and again.

Enter TOML: I can paste a bunch of "var_x = 2"-type statements (there's like 50) directly from Python, read them as a dictionary and find-replace all appearances in like 5 minutes while I'm waiting for an Uber.

Thanks Tom!
Count Eleven in the indictment is the most serious one of the lot. The DOJ alleges there were attempts to hack election machines.

Why only GitHub? Is it because of MVP? For this to really stand out for me it would include more major repository sites like Gitlab and maybe even personal project servers so it could become the go-to place to find projects. Especially since the exodus caused by the GitHub debacle a few weeks ago.
I'm not really a fan of containers, but I read this and thought "why not containers"?

The page mentions cryptically "They could almost be thought of as a self-executing container without the virtualization". The "self-executing" bit makes sense - you don't have to remember to type "docker". "without the virtualization" doesn't make sense unless they mean without cgroups or are talking about Kata Containers.
I think redundancy is much easier if the thing being made redundant is extremely simple? Imagine having to manage 50 different services (and sometimes servers) as opposed to 1 machine.
> Location is high-COL big-metro east coast city

Well, since half the comments here are referring to California, I'll go ahead and make my off-topic location suggestion too.

Live in Austin or Kansas City or Las Vegas or Boulder or Salt Lake City.

I live in Salt Lake and you can easily buy a brand new 4k sq ft house with a < 30 min commute for less than $600k. There are tons of software jobs, it's family friendly, and it's an hour to world-class skiing or three hours to some of the most beautiful national parks.

I'm 28, have three kids and a house and an RV camper, my wife has never worked anything more than fun hobby jobs, we vacation to NY/LA as much as we want, and in general we live rather comfortably.

It's nice to tell yourself you earn $250k. But does 30% more pay make up for a 300% more expensive mortgage?
No, because your failure to maintain damages others.

I recently had to a file a code complaint because a landlord neighbor refuses to maintain his backyard, and out of control vegetation has damaged the fence, created a flood problem and is causing other nuisances.
Unorthodox opinion but here it goes: people like to pretend they know a lot about wines and whiskeys and that they have skills to identify and taste them but they're just being pretentious or don't know where to spend money. As long as the wine comes from an old caste and the whiskey follow strict procedures it's all the same thing. People want to look sophisticated but when blindfolded then can't even distinguish between red and white wine if they're at same temperature.

Same thing for musical instruments. It's all branding, marketing hype for hipsters and some sort of placebo effect.
> Maybe this would include the reason they banned the account

It might not unless the definition is really stretched. It's not data collected about you. Otherwise every email some employee sends discussing this situation would also need to be included.
This stuff is definitely true. I've lived in and spent significant time in a bunch of different parts of the US: South, western states, northeast, mid-atlantic, rural and urban and suburban. It's really shocking just how different people look between, for instance, rural-ish Deep South areas and Manhattan, downtown DC, urban California, etc., especially in terms of body size.

Even in the DC area where I currently live, it's downright shocking just how different people (esp. 20-50yo women) look between, say, downtown DC and areas merely an hour's drive away. Urban DC is full of very attractive, slim women. An hour+ away? They're almost non-existent, but there's tons of overweight ones.

There's really a giant cultural divide going on in this country, and it's disturbing if you think about it; it doesn't seem sustainable. It kinda reminds me of the Eloi vs. the Morlocks, except in our reality, the Morlocks aren't really that productive economically and things really don't look good for them.

As an aside, another interesting difference I've noticed with body sizes is that people are noticeably taller in the west-coast urban areas than in the east-coast ones. I'm a little over 6' and I feel very tall on the east coast. When I've traveled to the west, I feel more average.

I tend to agree. When Yamazaki 12 was around $50, I'd go in for a bottle every now and then. At twice the price now, it's just overpriced relative to comparable Whisky from Scotland. I'd rather have a bottle of Springbank.

Speaking of world whisky, if you can find it, try Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique. It's one of my favorite single malts in the past couple years.

Just pick something and see where you can take it.

The problem with talents/careers/skills is that they all have a valley in between the "just started learning" high and the "I'm actually good at it now" high.

When you first start, you're learning quickly, and you can celebrate the small wins as they roll in because your growth is very visible. Once you're good at something, people start to recognize you as an expert, and the external feedback helps a lot to motivate you.

The valley in the middle is the tough grind that gets to many if not most people. If you are lucky enough that your enthusiasm and passion carries you through it, then good for you! But if you aren't, that middle valley is where willpower and persistence are very valuable.

I've personally experienced both. I was lucky enough that a combination of formal college "do it for the grade" motivation and some inherent enthusiasm carried me through that valley for coding.

But for piano... there was probably 5-6 years in the middle that was a real slog. I eventually got good enough that with practice I could play almost any music you put in front of me, and now I enjoy it, but it was a slog for most of the years I spent learning.
Sure there will be boring tasks to do in every project, but there are usually interesting ones too. If you can have fun with your co-workers, it also makes boring work more enjoyable.

The most boring job I ever held was working in an office supply store. The people were boring, the customers were boring (and there weren't that many of them). I even worked in a warehouse on a packing line. That was pretty boring work, but the staff there found ways to amuse themselves and it was always busy. The days went by quickly.
I am a windows developer and the single thing that stops me porting my apps to linux is an easy to use deploy method. Is there some good way to handle this task without to spend months learning about linux administration like shell scripts, finding the best place for configs, logs on different linux distros, daemons setup, etc. Something simple and distro independent would be fine...

That's a strange question. It's conflating fame and acting, which are (mostly) orthogonal. Would you ask how many people can make it as famous software engineers?

There's probably a limit to the number of 'famous' people in the world, depending on your idea of fame, because people simply can't know about an unlimited set of other people.

But the world can have more artists, of all kinds. We're nowhere close to the limit on the number of great actors our society can support. We'd need more theatres, acting teachers, costumers, lighting designers, etc., but I don't see why we couldn't have 1000 more Anthonys Hopkins (in skill, not fame) in my city.
Places to stay in small towns where there is at most one hotel that might be inconvenient or full or nonexistent. Places to stay where you can actually use a kitchen (great in areas with weak food availability or for people with allergies). Not having to argue with hotel night staff about whether you can pay by card. And in general way better service (from hosts).
I love the Brewpub example.

I guess the downside of having “one port” for power/ stoarage and peripherals, is that you really can’t know what’s going to happen when you plug a device in.

It’s almost like you want a dialog box approving what the usb device can do. But nobody really wants that.

This JSON is vastly more readable, frankly. It’s so clear what container type “designers” refers to, and I can read directly what data structures the elements are. I can’t do that in Toml. Unless I just happen to remember some rote memorized convention for what the syntax unpacks into, there’s no way to tell by looking at Toml code. IMO this ought to be priority number one for any utility language like this. No matter what brevity of other syntax there might be, this lack of direct expression of the data structures is too much of a problem.

This JSON is also much more readable than the “dot attribute” Toml syntax too, which I think is one of the least intuitive and hardest to read ways of creating nested data structures, certainly vastly less readable than the equivalents in YAML or JSON.

I’ve never understood why anyone would say Toml is easier to read than YAML or JSON. It’s drastically harder to read and more confusing.
