Speaking of Robert Moses, a really good book about him & his doings: Power Broker by Robert Caro.
Yeah, the uncertain/inconsistent parts of Airbnb aren't great. Waiting for the host to respond if you need them, having to tell them why you're visiting, figuring out the entry details/getting the keys, whatever rules they have about cleanliness and so forth. For one or two nights all that stuff is a pain.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
"Millennial" here.

stcredzero.

Street credit. Usually referred to as social status in the neighborhood and local friend groups. Usually used by rappers and African American neighborhoods. However, people living in these neighborhoods don't actually say this today. Typically middle and high school students hear this on TV/radio and use it in their own (usually upper/middle class) circles to increase their social status.

Zero refers to zero street cred. Username plays a pun, the the user actually has zero cred. Again, only used by people outside the "street" aka in middle and high school. Also 98% chance OP is male. I'd say 50-60% white, sice we're on HN. With the other 40-50% being Asian or Indian.

In summary, yes, usernames tell you a lot.
The Pentagon is "selectively" punishing Elon Musk... by applying the same standards for a security clearance to him that they do to everyone else?
The flip side of this reasoning is that successful scammers aren't poor, but they are very likely to to still be scammers.
Oof, you're right, I totally misread that.

We were fortunate enough to be in detached housing. If we'd still not been consistently getting full nights of sleep until almost a year after our first one was born (as in the post I initially responded to, I gather) we definitely wouldn't have had two more. Yikes. Our total months of disrupted sleep for all three combined isn't that long.
Watch the interviews. She does not call them out, no matter how ridiculous or unsubstantiated the claims being made are. It's utterly ridiculous.

An interviewer is supposed to push back when claims are made that contradict reality. Chris Wallace's interview with Stephen Miller for how it's done.
We're still not at 2016 levels. I don't know an equivalent website in English, so even if you don't understand Dutch, try the Tweakers Pricewatch for RAM memory[1]: click some products and scroll down to the price chart. The prices in 2016 were cheaper than now, for example for this set of 16GB Corsair modules[2].

Prices are coming down to previous levels, but we're not even there yet. To say they are in freefall is like saying sofa prices are in freefall for being $900 after they priced it $1500 after initially offering it for $600. Except that sofas don't get cheaper every year and electronics typically do, so really, RAM prices are still sky high.

Isn't that a three-fer?

You first emit the photon towards the black hole, momentum gain. Absorbing the photon on the return would be a two-fer, and reflecting a three-fer.
Prevention is great, and I'm certainly a big fan of it...

but by overexposing people to the drugs that are actually effective against HIV we're both helping the virus evolve around them and having to deal with whatever adverse side effects the drugs have on healthy patients.
They could use a different username on HN than Reddit.
Yes. Why shouldn't I? What's the concern exactly?
If you have a case, you can build a more than adequate PC for development work for less than $300. That's assuming 16 gigs of RAM and a Ryzen APU.
You did though, and when faced with the evidence you shifted the burden of proof to maintain your opinion that gerrymandering by Republicans isn't a problem. The fact you continue to minimize it and ignore the other problematic Republican behavior shows confirmation bias.
Love it! Is this tool free? And I hope you could have a stock market version; I don't trade crypto, and I just have some Bitcoins at Coinbase.
What? There's no real difference except spelling (aka syntax and convention).
I definitely think that breaking and fixing stuff, or just fixing broken stuff, is vital to understanding any field where "stuff" is involved. Doctoring and nursing are both apprenticeships in part so doctors and nurses can learn how to fix broken people in a real setting, and we should do something more like that in the computer field so the kids who didn't grow up with their own systems they could break and fix can get the experience they missed.
This article is amazingly light on details - nobody except the "Vaak" people are named.

It also strikes me that this is just a "Gee, Whiz!" article, like the perennial favorites, urine powered battery, fusion power in 10 years, and flying cars. Sure, you can do it once (except maybe fusion), but the odor or the difficulty of flying ruins it. Therefore, I've got $20 that says we don't hear anything more about Vaak until they go bankrupt.
This is pretty cool. TI has been using Ferrous mRam in their micro-controllers to achieve absurdly low levels of power consumption and it's worked great. Makes me excited to see others picking up the technology to put it into use in other mediums.
Paper filters remove much more of the oils.
I believe Apple has a free tier. There are limitations. It sounds like you'd be fine with some of them, like you can't distribute though the app store. But I think apps you load on your device expire quickly and there are other limitations, so it really is for development, and not a great way to side load apps.
All project files live under ~/Documents; Others go to DEVONthink.
Can I ask what grind you're using? I'm a big fan of the bitterness of what my moka pot produces, though I agree that it's not "espresso" per se. It's fantastic for mixing with vanilla ice cream or mixed drinks.
It's not free, but Lightroom is the canonical software for this purpose.
iOS 11 removed support for 32bit applications. Because the iPhone X requires iOS 11 I’m not aware of any way to run 32bit code on A11 processors and above. A32 support is likely already gone at the hardware level.
I really think Tesla will fail, and worry what that will do to the stock market and/or tech industry. Things don’t add up over there, and pain will be unleashed sooner or later.
Well it's because they aren't charging you the resort fee, the hotel does that. They itemize what you're actually paying for... Just like they mention, but don't charge you for parking ahead of time. That's up to the hotel.

Anyway, the UI is different now and in big type it says "Due Now" with the resort fee mentioned under that. I personally didn't find it confusing before, but it's now quite clear.
It's a double edged sword. In tech, it's been found that blind hiring processes where candidates' name, education, and past employers are obscured (a third party broadly describes the education and work experience but doesn't give any explicit names) does result in more hires from less prestigious universities and companies. But it does make the hired population more male and more white & Asian. I think triplebyte did a study.
I'd hate to work somewhere knowing I was hired because the color of my skin and not my abilities. maybe less of an issue in non-brainy jobs, but in Tech I would feel more insecure not knowing if I got the job to fill a quota. This sounds rather disgusting to me.
The article started off with a wild assertion, that "Purism is beating the duopoly to that dream". A duopoly on computing? Windows is still by far the biggest desktop computing platform. They may have messed up mobile, but that doesn't make them irrelevant.
Variable Variables
I think the dualities in quantum field theory are different from the dualities in optimization but maybe some category theorist can correct me if I’m wrong
> It was really difficult to find a phone number -- they clearly don't want you calling them

Maybe it changed in the mean time, but googling "airbnb phone number" showed it right in the search page. That info came from https://www.airbnb.com/help/contact_us, wherein clicking "It's something else" shows a "Call us" option, which has the number.
Yes, Sectigo via The SSL Store.
Unless you go for Enterprise you can only have a single worker per site making QA and staging hell.

Their JavaScript environment/APIs are not standard and there’s no proper spec that I could find.

The debugging environment/IDE is decent for an in-browser one but we had some horrible issues with a stale version being loaded from local storage and accidentally applied to the entire site effectively bringing us down for several minutes.

On every change I also saw several error pages myself during warmup period which made me wonder how many customers were getting them.

This was all ~6 months ago though so things might have improved since then.

Performance wise we’re very happy with it though as it beats the Apache reverse proxy it replaces hands down.
Here's a reply to this so-called "review", which amounts to little more than name-calling[1].

https://quillette.com/2018/10/14/moral-pollution-in-place-of...

The book actually contains a footnote anticipating exactly this kind of response:

"44. In fact, we can make a prediction right now, while writing this book in 2017: Most of the negative reviews and responses to this book will at some point note our race and gender and then directly assert or vaguely hint that we are racists or sexists who are motivated primarily by the desire to preserve our privilege. We will then respond in the spirit of Mark Lilla, the author of a critique of identity politics titled The Once and Future Liberal. Lilla, an avowed liberal who wrote his book to help the Democrats start winning elections, responds to repeated name-calling by saying, essentially, “That is a slur, not an argument. Make an argument and I’ll respond to it.”"

The reply goes on:

Instead, the rhetorical approach exemplifies precisely the aspects of the moral culture we identify and criticize in the book, and the tactics are ad hominem: guilt by association, and misrepresentation.

And so on...

At least in JS scenarios, the difference is nowhere near that. It's actually trading the first place with chrome between tests: https://arewefastyet.com/
It's probably because by and large Amazon kills physical products and Google kills services.

If someone buys a Fire Phone and it gets discontinued - well, products getting discontinued is part of life and it doesn't (usually) affect the usage of the one you have.

If Google builds a web service, then that service has the chance to grow to 50m / 100m users before deciding that it is not worth supporting. Law of large numbers says of those 50/100m a non-trivial proportion will invest substantial time in it and get pissed off when they have to make alternative plans.

If Amazon killed Prime Video or Audible, I bet you’d see a pretty huge outcry.
My file organisation can mostly be described as a chaos meal, an inexplicable arrangement of mostly incompatible foods thrown together onto a plate.

It's actually disgusting, but I'm lazy. A lot of my work tends to be ephemeral stuff, like downloading files and doing some analysis work so I have a folder called ~/scratch/ where I try to mostly put that stuff.

My biggest issue is I'm so lazy I often have throwaway scripts just sitting in git repositories that have no relation to the project that repository is for. It's fun returning to that repository and finding I have a bunch of uncomitted changes for files like "script.py" and "doit.sh"
Amazing app. I was in Bordeaux, having dinner, time slipped away, drank too much...what to do? HotelTonight. I would find something, book it, and be done. Back to dinner.

I did this 7 different times all around France. It was a perfect experience. The fact that the UI/UX makes super duper easy to view, book, set, & forget. I think its better than opening a chrome tab or any other mobile app thus far.

Don't even try to compare to other sites desktop experience. I can book everything before you would launch a chrome tab. Lastly, every time I showed up to the reserved hotel (usually later), everything was taken care of and never was my reservation, lost, not taken, or a problem with rooms. THE UI/UX is the reason this app is so amazing.
Fantastic product, super concerned about AirBnB acquisition - not because of what they'll do to the product, but I guarantee their partnerships with hotels and hotel groups will evaporate when contracts expire.

A hotel working with Airbnb is like BlockBuster working with Netflix to share customer data. The hotels groups aren't as fucking stupid as Blockbuster was, though.
Some states allow pharmacists to substitute generic drugs for name brand prescriptions. To my knowledge they don't need the doctor's permission, and can make the change on their own unless the doctor specifically requests the name brand medicine for some reason.
I don't really believe that claim about the Prismo. I don't think that it builds up enough pressure to make any significantly noticable difference.

The advantage of a Prismo, and why I use one, is it stops the leakage of under-brewed fluid into your cup until you start pushing on the plunger. (Otherwise, I use the inverted brewing technique.)
I think the main issue is he smoked pot while he already had a security clearance, so it comes off as him acting like federal laws don't apply to him. You're right about the past history stuff, I worked in cleared environments for years, and one of my co-workers who partied a ton in high school and college answered "all of them" when the federal investigator asked which illegal drugs he'd used prior to employment. They told him that as long as he understood that he couldn't use them after he had a clearance, his past drug use wasn't an issue.
> Recruiters at my company aren't explicitly told to hit certain quotas, but they are given larger bonuses for diverse hires and they do have targets for certain percentages of diverse candidate.

I'm definitely not a lawyer and I live nowhere near the Bay Area, but by my reading of most of these laws, this is illegal. I realize we often interpret these issues differently depending on who they effect, but this sounds like an open-and-shut case of discrimination to me.
It will not. The labor is commoditized - if you want more money to go to the staff, you need to directly hand it to them in the form of cash.
The problem with headers (in C++) isn't #include. It's the bleed-through of macros (and pragmas, I guess) from headers into subsequent headers. Without that, precompiled headers would be an obvious win always and every time.

Macros are side effects and there's really no sane way to constrain them (currently), but C++ modules are an attempt to do so.
Well term limits are a genuinely bad idea. They make sense for the President, because the Presidency is a uniquely powerful office, and a perpetual president is a real threat to democracy.

A perpetual representative, who wields 1/535th of America's executive power is not going to cause much harm, certainly not enough to justify overriding the will of the people who would keep them in office if they could.

Consider also, term limits would speed up the revolving door between lobbyists and congress, by forcing people out before they're ready to leave, and replacing them with legislators who are less experienced and easier to manipulate.
I have no problem getting AirBnb's at the last minute. I look for ones that say "self check-in" or "check-in anytime" and are bookable instantly. I think since AirBnb is already succeeding at that, this will just increase their success in that area. All they need to do is find those offering that service or have them come to them, whether they be people with extra rooms, or a full fledged hotel.
Again, I really hope it's clear that we don't deliberately hire unqualified candidate because they're considered diverse. It only affects resume reviews and phone interviews which are basically coin tosses.

The new hooks are a great way to use redux, not a reason not to use it. A “useStore” hook is much easier to understand than react-redux's connect.
I still to this day scratch my head over how we’ve normalized sleeping in another stranger’s bed, as as hosts have normalized complete strangers touching our stuff and having sex in our beds. It’s wild.
You're proposing to fire some material around a planet in such a way that it comes back to a mothership with more momentum than it started with. Now imagine that instead of going "there and back", you find a trajectory that sends it from planet A, to planet B, then back to the mothership. You're coming back even faster now! Why stop at two planets? Find a trajectory so you can do planet A, planet B, planet C, perhaps planet A again... and so on.

Now just delete the mothership from this picture; the 'material' is the spacecraft itself.

This is a gravity assist, and by stacking enough of them you can basically pick up as much extra delta-V as you want (at least until you reach Solar escape velocity).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Transport_Netwo...

The main drawback is that it can take decades of flying a convoluted series of gravity assists before you get to where you need to go, and that's all within one system.

(The two-body idea you proposed has the same problem. The mothership has to sit there and wait while the matter flies back and forth on multi-year long orbits. Also now you have to figure out how to 'catch' a hypervelocity projectile...)
Few CEOs would be willing to get sloshed on camera for a podcast, I suspect.
Stalkers and Debt Collectors Impersonate Cops to Gain Cell Phone Location Data
I'm not sure exactly what you are saying, but what I am saying is that Chrome and other applications use either their own, or OS mechanisms, to cache read pages. This is visible on all systems I work with (mac, win, linux), either attributed to the process, or to OS read cache.
It's hard to tell the difference in results when it could be systematic underpayment of value to the labor of the college educated - something that all labor save a few lucky sectors have been experiencing for decades now.

The worker approach doesn't work if you need to update lots of Dom nodes. The example being a highlighter for a search term.

I'm guessing it stands for "street cred zero" as in having zero street credibility.

Wiktionary defines "street cred" as:

> Credibility among young, hip urban dwellers; particularly important in the hip-hop and rap scenes.

Google defines it somewhat more tersely as:

> acceptability among young black urban residents

Given that the user name says the user has no street cred, it's ironic that people would assume the user is "urban".
> For example, recruiters at my company curate lists of names that are majority female, black, or Hispanic (pulled from the census bureau) in order to try and determine which candidates are diverse.

(Implied: in order to favour them at some point in the process.)

Is that even legal?

So as an individual with a traditional Western European male name, I would be at a relative disadvantage if I applied to your company. Hmm.
I’m super lazy. I skip all the beans and grinding and just use Cafe Bustelo. It’s great coffee and works really well in an Aeropress.

Yes, try booking a resort from Hotel Tonight, Hotels.com, Booking, Expedia or whoever you want. You'll always pay the resort fee at the property. I agree that it's a scam, my point is just that it has nothing to do with Hotel Tonight.
To be clear, this is SFBay Area vs India, not SFBA vs Midwest. We have excellent engineers in India (and other locations in the world); it's not nearly as easy or quick to build high-performing teams in India, but it's absolutely doable.
Certainly, why would anyone want to be anything else in life other than a banker? No matter what happens, or what mistakes you make you'll get bailed out. Safest and most lucrative job in the world.
Totally agree! Ever since they added story updates into the notifications screen, it has totally lost meaning. That and friends attending random events, etc. It used to actually mean something.

I'll say! Thanks so much for the link and for your hard work. I've been looking for a way to do continuous, multi-variable soil monitoring across my olive grove, and the Stenon probe looks like it could be perfect.

Do you have any information on pricing and availability?

P.S. I'm curious how you're able to accurately measure nitrate and carbon levels. Can you point me to any papers on the techniques you're using?
Interesting, thanks for posting it. Somewhat related (my system): https://github.com/archimodels/hamster-system
The Democrats won the largest popular vote margin of any party in American history in 2018, but only the 53rd largest congressional majority in history, mostly because of Democratic voters in North Carolina, Ohio, and Wisconsin who were "packed and cracked" so that their votes counted far less.
I'd say most nouns need to be seen.

To understand duck you must see a duck (Eat a duck, pet a duck, smell a duck, hear a duck)

Perhaps you could cheat and uses pixels and coordinates to use English to draw photos and videos to explain ducks.
Yes but you originally said alcohol is far less harmful than THC
Pollock is an odd target here in a way, because the man was actually skilled, he produced things which proved hard to copy. Unlike a lot of later very-abstract artists, who really were all about their timing / positioning / contacts etc.

I would have to google a lot but there was a nice mathematical investigation of this, in which the summary was something like that he produced a very consistent scaling of details from very small to quite large, in a way which matches natural scenes. Whereas fake Pollocks don't show this, and perhaps that is why they aren't as pleasing.
Parking is optional Resort fee is not.

> Can't these things be done with eCryptfs or EncFS?

Possibly, but ZoL/ZFS offers an integrated solution without any setup, etc. That's very appealing for most people.

As an admin I really don't want to have to write a big pile of scripts to do what I could trivially do with ZFS by just setting some zpool or zfs options.

EDIT: I don't know why, but people who haven't "lived" it keep underestimating just how much the convenience of "integration" means. This is not a slight, I just think that it's one of those things that you have to experience to appreciate just how much of a difference it makes.
