Waiters don't do ANY of what you suggest they do.

1. They can't choose a place to your liking, because they are assigned to specific zones of the restaurant. At best, you can request the host/hostess for a particular location, at which point your waiter is selected for you by virtue of your location.

2. They don't . . . undress you. You may be thinking of a brothel, not a restaurant. This claim is probably the most bizzare.

3. Again, it is generally one of the host staff that does the actual seating.

4. If asked for a recommendation, at best you'll get what they prefer eating, or a generic "what's popular" suggestion. In no way do they judge their client (On what? They just barely met you!) and immediately recommend that you'd love the lobster bisque because . . . your hair is brown.

I work at a bank, and you would be surprised how many people don't know how much they have in the bank until they get the message saying there's no money.

so many people do this. As long as they don't get that message, they don't worry about how much is in there.
There are more stocks than an active investor can research the fair value of. If we are talking about a single stock, one active investor with enough money can force the "correct" price.

I agree with you that I think we need to be careful about asking corporations to be legislative authorities. I'd say this is very similar to the Backpage scandal in which employees were beyond reasonably turning a blind eye to very illegal, preventable behavior happening on their platform. Why not just allow people to involve the authorities in that situation as well?

What I'm proposing seems extremely reasonable considering AirBnB is, at least in NYC and other major metro areas, primarily used for breaking the law.

Here's the thing I think most people are missing: almost every state, city, municipality etc. in existing has laws against short term rentals. The reason for this is very clear because the issues have already been considered at the civic level. There's no reason to think that just because a platform emerged that makes this illegal behavior easier that the behavior has changed. Zoning exists for a reason. People don't want short term rentals. As far as I can tell the vast majority of AirBnB's business is illegal.

This is different from YouTube in that there is a very large legitimate use for YouTube. There is a legitimate use for AirBnB, it's just not $38B large. Asking them to make enforcement easier for externalities seems like a very reasonable alternative to heavy handed government regulation (ie: requiring short term rentals to be registered with cities, which is what cities are doing now to respond to AirBnB's lack of self-policing).
Not sure what you mean. You don't have to have 2 headers with react-table, but you can if you want to. Just look at the example screenshots of tables in the Polar app (the comment to which you replied). The tables have a single header. It's simply a matter of how you structure your `columns` input to the React-table component.
Newspapers actually are forced to take reasonable steps to avoid allowing ads for illegal activity, and owners have been jailed for it. So if making Airbnb police their listings would be like making newspapers police their classifieds, it seems obvious that they should be required to do so. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/top-offic...
> Well, real estate is a very close proxy for "this place is worth living" which is a very close proxy for absolute population which isn't a direct proxy but is certainly a deeply contributing factor to all around economic growth/success.

When the government is primarily working on the numbers (real estate values, tax revenues from real estate) there's a perverse incentive to maximize the numbers rather than serving the needs of the entire population. SF is a great example of this--the real estate market is a disaster for the middle class, but it's fantastic for the landowners and the city. Indeed, it's in the interests of both of those aforementioned parties to drive out the middle class from the region and replace them with more wealthy buyers. The whole system depends on this happening or it risks collapse.
Occasional reminder that AirBnB was originally "growth-hacked" with a campaign of deceiptful and TOS-violating Craiglist spam, and your forum host and YC founder specifically looks to fund for founders who break rules (including laws) "that don't matter" (to the rulebreaker), on the advice of YC's current president.
To that same point, Airbnb investors include pretty much everyone who have also invested in other startup darlings: Sequoia, A16Z, Crunchfund, Google, Founders Fund, Greylock, SV Angel, General Catalyst, KPCB
Zoning encourages that large suburban home, by making walkable cities more expensive than they are elsewhere.

So, there are regulations pushing people in the direction of large homes and large vehicles.

Is it just me or there’s a lot of these ‘hot’ threads on GitHub lately? I don’t mean the issue at hand—validity is beside the point—but the fact is that these issues unravel on GitHub on a very predictable cadence, and Github Issues is fairly ill equipped to deal with making sense of this. So everyone just shouts at thin ether at the top of their lungs, hoping to attract some attention and answers, then it becomes an arms race.

That’s a design problem - if the voting system made things become more visible, then likely fewer people would feel the need to shout. That has its own drawbacks, though.

It’s a hard problem building anything remotely social. I don’t think they realised what they were putting themselves into when they were building Issues.
I'll also point out that https://sdr.hu/ provides many many other locations that you can listen from
>"Not so. If a retailer is selling garbage, some people may buy it, but those people will promptly figure that out, stop buying those brands and leave them bad reviews. And the retailer has incentives not to carry bad products even if they don't accept returns because getting burned doesn't make for repeat customers."

Yes, but only those people, there is no shortage of new customers to fleece. Online reviews can (and are) bought and sold, even the supposedly trustworthy review sites such as Trustpilot have been caught manipulating scores, and in some cases (Yelp) hiding reviews until the business in question ponies up for a "partner agreement".

The whole point of a mandatory return period is for consumer protection. A product should be fit for purpose and not break shortly after being taken into use. A warranty period of 6 months to a year ensures that products are fit for purpose. It also discourages the production and sale of disposable junk products, which is a better use of resources and more environmentally sound.
But Gen Y wasn't the millenials. Millenials came after them. Gen Y is the kids who grew up with computers and early Internet/BBSes, but not the pervasive information brokers that millenials know.

> I'm now down well over 60+lbs without having put in hardly any effort to exercise (occasional walking) - pretty stunning to me.

Losing weight despite not exercising isn't surprising. Exercise, even intense cardio, burns far fewer calories than most people think. I'm about 240 lbs, 5'8", 36 years old, and according to this calculator [0], if I ran a 5k at a fast-paced 10 mph (6 minute mile), I'd only burn about 250 calories. That wouldn't even be enough to burn the calories in the energy drink I might drink before it!

Great work on the weight loss. I was 255 lbs at the beginning of the year and switched out my sugary sodas for unsweetened tea or occasionally a diet soda and lost 15 lbs in 4 months. I plateaued because I haven't changed much else.

Better default for everything. If you have particular needs, then you change from the default. This is why 'default values' exist.

> Profit margins on US made trucks have been much larger than autos for a long time(mostly due to this tax)

I think it may have more to do with selling fuel efficient compact cars and sedans at a loss in order to sell enough to offset the poor economy of the American Truck™ and meet CAFE requirements.
I have a project within my corp where we need to collaborate with other companies on a shared project. We want to do this privately and right now run our own rocketchat stuff to do this. However we are open to hosted solutions.

I was unaware of this product until now, I figured I'd give it a spin to see what was available now and hope for some cool github integration in the future.

However the public-by-default stuff is a bummer. I know there are ways to make things private and perhaps its just me not spending enough time with the product but even if I make a private community it always has a _public_ general thread that I can't delete.

The public general thread is the default for any new thread or conversation so I can see that it will be easy to unintentionally create a thread that was intended to be private as public.

I understand why you want public-by-default, to increase engagement and community building but there are many businesses using Github and could use this tool if they were sure that they could keep stuff buttoned down.

So perhaps you guys could add a "business" or "private first" context that could be used for folks like me to ensure that while operating in that context I am operating as private-by-default.

Also, can you give any hints to what integrations might come?
ES comes in handy with very large sets of data. If it fits on one (or a handful) of nodes, you're probably better served by a relational database.

When you try to scale something to large sizes AND want high availability, it's pretty much a given you'll be dealing with eventual consistency.

We use ES to ingest billions of records per day. For us, being able to immediately query a row that was just added is less important than being able to deal with the volume in relatively predictable performances.
I ran an exit node at home for a couple months. Within minutes of my dynamic IP being updated from my ISP, cloudflare could figure out that I was an exit node, and then would fail to differentiate my own, non tor traffic, with that of the traffic exiting my node. The result being every single cloudflare backed website will hit you with a captcha on every page you view.

My ISP would also randomly shut off my connection with some vague email about having compromised computer on my network i needed to fix. I'd have to call and make up some story to get them to turn my internet back on.

Essentially all kinds of people associate TOR with unsavory activity and as such put hoops to jump through when accessing stuff through tor. When you host an exit node your non tor traffic is considered to be outbound TOR traffic based on the IP the traffic originates from.

I cant imagine what would happen if I ran a node on the same network as our email server. I have to assume that we'd get blacklisted for spam quick if our mx resolved to a tor exit node IP.

Then there's the whole issue of more or less being guaranteed to be complicit in the distribution of CP. With really only safe harbor laws protecting you.
Elixir is amazing at creating parrallelized network heavy iobound applications. obviously its going to be shit if you want to do machine learning or anything computationally bound. Thats why it has amazing first class integrations!

I switched, after a prior history of many other editors, to VSCode, and then to Atom. One main reason: the vim plugin. The VSCode one was (is?) just not good. Atom's is quite good.

VSCode is better for most people; it's a great editor, and does more out of the box without configuration. However, if you're someone who DOES feel the need to tweak everything until it's just right, VSC doesn't hold up. JSON configuration is just clunky. Atom is, at least in some aspects, scriptable without the need to build a full plugin (though it's certainly no emacs), and that's quite valuable. And, when you introduce the atom-ide package, the gap in completion and debugging functionality between the two gets quite a bit smaller.

Also, anecdotally, Atom seems to have had better performance across my machines; especially on lower-end hardware. I'm only working on small-medium sized projects, so this might just be me.
BNSF is spending money on capex because it's the smart thing to do in that industry right now. That's not a consequence of a Buffet investment. Buffet also invested in Heinz and they immediately fired thousands and are cutting costs left and right.

In the US, the Bolt starts at $37,495 and the Model 3 currently starts at $47,200. (You may be slightly behind the times, the $47,200 version just became available in October.) The base Bolt is missing various things I'd consider to be fairly essential that are included in the $46,000 Model 3, such as forward collision warning/avoidance and fast charging, so the Bolt's base price is a bit deceptive.
only apply to American, and the rest of world don't give a concern for this.

Systems that depend on infinite population growth seem like a bad idea. Mayors of cities who constantly need to grow their population base to prop up housing prices, all the way up to countries who constantly need to grow their population base to prop up entitlements ponzis. At some point, you end up with an unstable system that will fail catastrophically. While you wait for that time, the average quality of life decreases incrementally for all (till the collapse, when the quality of life may collapse all the way to death for many).

Non-debt based monetary systems (gold, bitcoin, etc) will result in slower growth, since developers and governments will need to wait until they can attract enough saved capital to start their projects. This is why people turn up their noses at these systems. But is slower growth really such a bad thing?

The third criteria of immediate feedback seems too stringent. In chess, feedback is often not immediate. If one were to run a reinforcement learning algorithm on chess with no human coded rewards, the only objective feedback would come at the end of the game (win, loss, draw).

Certainly the more immediate the feedback the better though.
Copyright only protects against actual copying. It's quite a limited right in comparison to patents. A patent can prevent others from implementing/selling/making/importing/exploiting the same invention independently created.

Copyright pales in comparison to the protection afforded by a patent.

With soon to be released "Rust 2018 Edition", quite a bit of mechanism are even easier to use on day to day basis.

I suspect that a lot of people that "can't get into Rust", are just bringing a baggage of OOP habits. I suspect it, because Rust (or rather struggles to structure my Rust code), were the main catalyst that made me fully realize why and how OOP is terrible and was causing my problems all along, even before Rust.

In a language like Java you can get pretty far, producing a typical OOP mess: with object referencing each other at will, creating a total spaghetti (graph of objects), full of race conditions, terrible performance, objects not being freed for weird reasons, race conditions, unclear ownership semantics etc. You only hit a wall much later, when it's no longer possible to grow or even maintain your terrible, buggy codebase, that was supposed to be so pristine and great, because you followed all the OOP-best practices. But until that wall, you feel quite productive, designing your classes and class hierarchies, and feeling great about yourself.

In Rust, compiler demands proof that your code makes sense and is well structured, with clear ownership relationship, lack of race conditions etc. Like any data-oriented paradigm, that is a death blow to a typical OOP approach. People start playing with `Rc<RefCell<T>>`s and then give up, and think it's Rust's fault. I've seen topics like that on r/rust and elsewhere, so it makes me belive it happens quite often.

Just to be clear: I'm not saying that there are no other reasons that are going to make it a challenge to get into Rust. But IMO, OOP habits are single biggest mistake, and you must leave them at the door when approaching Rust.

IMO, some data-centered development paradigms should be a common part of Rust introduction. A lot of people in the industry are clear that OOP is trash, but because of inertia it is still the dogmatic and popular way that common-developer things about designing software.
