The value add is an enthusiastic pursuit of profit. Ownership by a collection of doctors drives lower margins/profits than ownership by a private equity firm. Economies of scale can also help, but that’s not the driving reason behind PE acquisitions. There’s a degree of good faith/naïveté when medical providers and pharmacies bill insurance providers. PE firms can leverage this expectation and push for increased costs with little, if any, additional overhead.

It also inherited a ton of bad habit from Windows 8, such as shiny fancy-looking but overly simplistic configuration screens, except the original configuration dialogs are still there underneath. This is indicative of a bad development methodology: devs/teams work on useless small projects (jazz up these dialogs so that grandma can use them) which can easily be executed and completed within a year or so (you know, a review cycle). While leaving all the old mess little changed underneath (because of course the new shit is horribly incomplete and doesn't actually fully replace the old controls). They have a corporate/dev culture which actively discourages long term incremental improvements of core components and focuses instead of trivial window dressing that can be packaged up in a SMART-goals format so that people can tick off their commitments and get their bonuses, raises, and promotions.
There is a major difference between Airbnb and Uber/Taxi. One has a relatively fixed supply (real estate), the other has a virtually unlimited supply (cars). Airbnb introduces a new layer of demand to apartments and houses, which traditionally were only demanded by long-term residents, it has completely shaken up the market. This is especially true in cities with a busy tourism industry.

So while the supply is mostly the same, the demand has measurably increased, the price will clearly be impacted. To argue otherwise is akin to denying the fundamentals of economics.

I understand the view where you say, let people use their property the way they want. However, at the same time, if we acknowledge that rents are increasing due to a new market for short term rentals, then we must also acknowledge that this increase in pricing pushes a certain percentage of locals out of real estate that they would otherwise be able to afford.

In a city like Des Moines, Iowa, the effect of the short term rental market is going to be minimal. Plenty of space, very little tourism, rents already quite low. But when you go somewhere like NYC, SF, Paris, Barcelona, etc. then the impact of short term tourism rentals has a major impact. Millions of people visit these cities every year, and suddenly they are in direct competition with locals for real estate.

Now why is it a problem if locals are priced out? That's much more a matter of opinion. But the clear reasons are that locals create deeper bonds with the area and people around them. Locals have more reason to respect the area. Locals are interested in building a community around them. Tourists are basically just ticking off a bucket list of typical activities and are on their way.
They don't understand how to think in higher dimensions, or how that quickly separates the trivial from the near-impossible. Many don't understand deeper algorithmic thinking. Recursion, partial differential equations.

They gather enough information that they can classify a patient into a storyline and they follow that storyline. If someone adds a new complication to the storyline, they adopt that. If the patient lives, they are happy. If the patient dies, they are sad.

Trying to explain to them that we have, today, the tools to concretely rethink all the data about cancer or infectious disease, or inflammatory conditions, or all the above, in innumerable ways, simply escapes them.

You can tell them you're funded and have petabytes of data and they just smile and nod and say "Oh, well, start with something small and build up."

I strongly disagree. In a hotel I can call the reception and get them to deal with noise pretty quickly. In an apartment I’m stuck with no quick recourse if a bunch of assholes use Airbnb to rent out a flat next door to have a weekend of boozing (thank you, group of 7 Irish lads that left a bunch of puke all over my outdoors last month).
There are a lot of engineers here who would have ended up in finance (possibly as quants), myself included. This sort of thing is right up our street.
How to Make Your Partners Accept You Are Living with Herpes?
If you want to be a professional artist, you need people to buy your art -- patrons. In cities without a large number of wealthy people (passing through, if not resident), there aren't many art galleries.

Had a six month rental (not Airbnb) in Amsterdam and the effect of Airbnb in rental market terms was palpable. Less properties available and higher prices. This was during a time of falling property price for purchase, and yet a shortage of proper rental homes.. that's pretty unhinged.

I rented below a worker in tenancy management who told me he dealt quite often with protected tenancy holders subletting illegally. Ultimately the Dutch tax authorities and Amsterdam City council cooperated on a response to undeclared income with Airbnb and I think have pushed back on what is abuse of community value. If you are told by your "host" to act like it's not Airbnb, isn't that a bit of a signal about its legality? Or acceptance by neighbours?

It's a pretty destructive model, even if at the individual level is proffers benefits to the home owner (many who sublet, are doing it illegally or off contract)

Many body corporates are aware of short term letting in their communal property and can do nothing about it. Apart from Airbnb you also have to contend with illegal casinos and brothels)

The effects of short stay rental are not just about iconic western cities like Barca. There is a problem in Bali I am told.
Just like with NYCs medallions, people fail to see why they were limited in the first place.

Barcelona apparently feels that the price of the permits reflects the value of having one short term rental out of the few they want to allow.

Otherwise they’d print more of them to relieve the demand (and signal they want more of them).

You’re claiming this is an attempt to support an oligarchy, but it seems like a very conscious effort to make converting a space into a short term rental a very deliberate choice, and to optimize for the spaces that will pull in the most tax dollars (high end ones) over the ones that can become a burden (low end, rent-my-closet type places)

And they’re constrained for a reason:

https://www.citylab.com/life/2018/06/barcelona-finds-a-way-t...

> Vacation apartments have spread across central neighborhoods, many of them from hosts who list more than one apartment. Meanwhile, the number of affordable long-term rentals available to locals has shrunk.

And especially this:

> Parts of the old city have become tourist ghettos, where residents that remain are kept awake by badly behaved visitors, and increasingly find their local shops and bars taken over by souvenir emporia and coffee chains.

I whole heartedly respect a community’s right to not become a tourist dumping ground.

Staying in a short term rental or hotel is a luxury if you’re talking about some of the most attractive places on earth.

There's nothing wrong with the price of a rental reflecting that.

> If you own a property, you should be able to do whatever you want with it

That just isn't true though. You can't even alter a property without first getting a permit in many cases. The things you do to stuff that you own can impact the greater community, so the needs of the community need to be considered.
Screen time focuses the senses on a small square and demobilizes the body while putting the brain in a comfortably numb, trance-like state.

It robs a child’s body and brain from developing social and motor skills in a 3D world. Time spent in the trance state is habit forming and is in general stolen from time spent exploring the world, and letting the brain learn from full bandwidth experiences.

So yes, It is the screen.

Children’s real life unstructured full-bandwidth play is learning on steroids. All systems engaged, constant observation, endless questions, simulations etc. think social simulations, physical and motor skills challenges, puzzles. It takes life to prepare human brains for life.
I think this legal arms race is a consequence of America's overly-litigious and profitable legal system.

These EULAs are the equivalent of warning labels on soda bottles that loosely read "Warning: Contents under pressure, don't point at your eyes"... who is that written for? We laugh and call it unnecessary, but that warning exists because there is precedent that must now be defended against.

When those ludicrous cases are widely used as a means of attack or personal enrichment, of course corporations will respond with excessive legal restrictions. Their shareholders don't want to lose money to frivolous lawsuits or be exposed to risks competitors have covered.
> The only reason the researcher gave permission was because the OpenBSD devs said that they were going to release on the original embargo date instead of extending out to 90 days like everyone else agreed to.

“Said that they were going to”? More “expressed a desire to.” And that was a reasonable desire—so reasonable that the researcher willingly agreed, if reluctantly. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=152909822107104&w=2

Do you think it unreasonable for one project to strongly push back against a 180 day embargo? How about a year embargo? Two years? Is there any point where a project can say, “We believe extending the embargo beyond what we’ve agreed to is going to keep our users unpatched, and won’t succeed at keeping the bug secret, so we’d like your permission to release according to the schedule we agreed to,” or is that verboten since it’s not “going along with the rest of the community”?
> It's something they decided to give him after it was decided that he should lose his job over the credible allegation of sexual assault.

Is this true? This is propagating spin, which the authors of the article made quite liberal use of.

I remember the article explicitly stating that they couldn't determine whether or not the decision to pay $90M was made with any relation whatsoever to the HR issue.

Yet they and others seem to keep labeling it as a "payout" anyway. When you keep repeating a thing, eventually it becomes true in the hive mind, which is what's happening here.

EDIT:

From the article:

> It is unclear if Mr. Page or the board knew of the investigation into the harassment complaint when Google approved the $150M grant for Mr. Rubin. Mr. Page, 45, did not respond to a request for a comment; Mr. Doerr and Mr. Shriram declined to comment.

And he got $90M when he was effectively fired, $60M less than the initial grant; see https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/25/technology/google-sexual-...

Like others in this thread, I'm starting to believe the NYT is just as bad as FoxNews when it comes to manufacturing opinion and sensation (esp. against Big Tech these days) instead of presenting objective journalism.

Bruce Schneir's crypto stuff is read by people who participate in NIST algorithm competitions. Maybe that's a good indicator. Look for blogs in your subject field where names you trust comment and respond?

Review is a pretty specific word. Do you think it's really a good fit for blogging? I don't.

Theconversation.com is curated, but non-blog non-peer-review semi-academic writing. It's by academics and research people with cites and comments. Maybe it's more suitable? There are about five editions, each sponsored by a national or local science funding agency, donations, tertiary institutions.

I know this is a non sequitur maybe, but I just think "reviewed blog" is pretty... Wierd. Maybe you've defined a niche I didn't realise existed?

Rowhammer could look like a kids toy.

I hope any new specs will require mandatory software tuned throttles for accessing any cells that are "electrically adjacent" in any way.

The way I see it, there should be little reason to allow fast repeated access to any small number of cells in a system. The caches are there to pick up such access anyway. AFAIK all the rowhammer type attacks use some method of bypassing the caches. Having some kind of performance degradation in the corner case of a program intentionally bypassing the caches should be preferable to having crazy security problems.

I'd say it goes back a little further than christians and oblates. Surely, most temples are kept well clean so that a mouse wouldn't find much to eat. The church tending to the poor can be associated as well as some kinds of church striving for purity.

Puritan, poor, pure, you get the gist. Actually, these are not said to be related, with peh₂w- and pewh₂- reconstructed, respectively. But in my humble opinion, "humble" could semanticly connectboth. peh₂w-, whence poor* and few, is also the root to pupil and puberty, via Latin pūpa/pūpus. On that note, words for orphan have been surprisingly productive, orphan supposedly giving German "Arbeit" - work, its origin unsure but perhaps connected to orpheus. Maybe orphans nominally under the care of the "father" are the mice in question. Mouse is a humbling diminutive, at least in German. In the pied piper, children are compared to mice. Boy can mean male servant (it's root is not compare to these here, though, might still be in an older layer of the languages' roots). Spanish puta is still unexplained, but Portuguese has puto (boy), Italian puttus (child) - said to be cognate with, no not pupa, but purus. Spanish and Portuguese also have moço, moço (boy, girl) of "unknown origin". But they do use rat related words for mouse instead, while muro is archaic. Baltic languages have instead pele (mouse), from pel- (grey, alternatively pelh), whence also pale. Surely, grey mouse is a synonym for plain, which is one of the glosses found for poor. Plain again is from pleh₂-, which derives several words for thin, flat, further tame* and perhaps also plague. Plage, Blage is a dysphemism for children in German. A page is a young servant in French and a page of paper is plain and flat. mew- also derives a sense of small, but whether that pertains to mouse or not is debatable. There's also mey which could be confused, meaning e.g. to change. Another spanish word for boy is muchacho, from mocho (mutilated, incomplete; hornless; having a hypocritical and ostentatious faith; cut short; bald headed), of uncertain origin). Then compare patch, patchy hair to page or Russian plóskij (flat, plain, level, tame, trivial). I mean, chico (boy) probably relates as much to chick as mouse to maid. Mouse rather rhymes with house (the house mouse), therefore compare house, husband and husbandry. I have no idea where this might lead, possibly astray, though.
It looked like it was about to happen now or in 6 months (last switch) but Austria has asked for a delay to consider how it should implement it and Belgium and the Netherlands are following with that.

So basically I have now lost all hope that we are ever going to drop the switch in this century.

So much for public consultation and Europe being an oppressive administration force (some say it was made on purpose to highlight individual states unwillingness to cooperate).

Thanks for adding the price, I'm actually quite surprised at how reasonable it is. I was expecting an arm an a leg when i saw the prices were omitted, pleasant surprise and will def give it a shot.

A few quick questions:

1.Are there any plans for price guarantees or annual subscriptions; something to protect early adopters from a price increase soon after momentum builds?

2.Do we get to choose our numbers or their area code?

3.Can you provide a basic rundown or links to the data collection/privacy polices

4.What is the protocol for exporting our data? Say I want to stop using Call Warden but want to keep my messages, can I download my messages en masse?

Ya, I think the benefits of encouraging economic literacy would be pretty extreme.
Honestly, his QfG4 section is lazy. Sorry, but in QfG3 he talks about the history of the series, the changing character of the game, the setting, what worked, what didn't (mostly didn't), and gives it a very thorough treatment.

But that changes when he gets to QFG4. In this section, he devotes 1428 words to discussing the game as a game, and 2074 words to discussing the bugs. It's a let-down. That should be a cautionary paragraph or two, especially since he acknowledges that the CD-ROM version fixed them and the CD-ROM version is what people would be playing today.
