There are a couple of catches to using love hotels as regular hotels though:

* If you want a "stay" (overnight) instead of a "rest" (hourly), check-in times are late and check-out times are early, with steep hourly rates slapped on top if you overstay

* It's often not possible to leave the room and come back (insert joke about in-and-out privileges here)

* Rooms are often windowless

All that said, they can be great deal. Here's a mildly tongue-in-cheek comparison of the JW Marriott Seoul vs a random love hotel in Cheonan:

* $400 (rack) vs. $50 (rack)

* Internet access $25/day vs In-room Internet PC for free

* Two chocolates vs. two condoms on your pillow

* Ordinary bathtub vs. heart-shaped jacuzzi in bathroom

* Whisky and cognac vs. beer, soju and dildos in minibar

* Porn costs $18/channel/day vs. three channels of it for free
> Is that because people park their motor-vehicles there?

Regarding Brazilian motels, I'm not sure about the etymology, but it is possible that it was borrowed from English, I guess.

Because people DO park cars there. In many (most?) cases, there are individual parking garages (with a door that closes) which open to the specific room. There are no elevators, corridors, or anything that would allow unrelated people to interact. Other than the 'reception', which is essentially a drive-through, you do not have to see or interact with any human beings. Even payment is handled through a small compartment.

Well, not necessarily - this treatment works by converting the near-IR light into green light which the eyes process normally.

If this did work in people, I would let a few waves of early adopters go first. It's a big open question as to how confusing things might be if you were IR/green colorblind.
sure buddy, really curious post timestamps

How the fuck would you feel if somebody took your original hard work, slapped their logo, and started peddling it to unsuspecting customers? You are seriously going to ignore this key legal and ethics issue? Give me a fucking break and do your god damn research first on the subject before you run your mouth.

I don't think you know what narcing is. It comes from employees of drug cartels that turn against them and testify against their illegal activities. Is google a dangerous drug cartel? I guess they are a data cartel of sorts. Not sure why that would be used to argue that they are evil....yet you are still using Google to do research....hypocrisy much?

If we want to keep Google free, we need to help them.

Google lawyers might not see it as "exaggerated" more of a "infringement of property and trademark" or even pushing for "computer fraud and abuse act".

Don't hate me, hate Google. More likely they have been monitoring serpapi already and I'm just another uncompensated sucker that reported it.

I'll let you know as soon as I hear from Google's legal team, since you seem to be mysteriously fixated on defending serpAPI....like literally right after OP has posted a reply...timing is highly suspect
No, it isn’t 100% of either. It’s just not meaningful to use those words in this context. The only thing we know is that the cat will be alive or dead to certain probabilities when the box is opened. We use the wave function to calculate those probabilities, but any statements about the cat’s actual reality before we open the box is pure metaphysic.

Right. The West's censorship is somewhat about fighting crime, protecting at-risk people, protecting people from themselves, and so on. But it's also about protecting the status quo. And, as much as I wouldn't like living in China, their censorship is arguably not that different. At most, there's more emphasis on protecting the status quo.

It's not fungible if people are bidding up that land because they expect it to be worth more thanks to the station you'll be building there. Unless of course you are advocating scamming people by claiming you'll build it while already having privately decided not to do so.
In the context of the article, it appears to be a new name for universal wavefunction, but not in the many worlds sense. FTA: "According to quantum monism, the fundamental layer of reality is not made of particles or strings but the universe itself—understood not as the sum of things making it up but rather as a single, entangled quantum state." Not clear on how this is distinct from de Broglie–Bohm theory, Time-symmetric theories, Consciousness causes collapse, Many-minds interpretation, or Consistent histories. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/monism/ appears to be by the same author.
Well I agree with that, subsidising industry with public money is not fair to everyone else and doesn't necessarily pay off at all. But having, even those relatively small number of jobs in a community could really help depending on the city size, it seems find to court business but using tax money or offering big tax cuts is kind of BS.
I'm sorry you lost your house. I never built rammed earth or pise or any related technology, but I have read about it from the 70s and I always assumed it had significant structural integrity from beams and posts, alongside the main material.

If the fire was hot enough to consume these, or if roofing caught fire and then it burned 'down' It may well be the fire was un-survivable for almost any form of construction except steel and concrete.

What was your roof? How big were your eaves, and how close was the surrounding bushland and trees, which I assume (since its portugal, and they planted a french metric tonne of eucalypts, which is a very very hot fast fire) was the primary risk?

Did you try and 'stay and fight' or evacuate? Here in Australia its a high risk decision: Stay and die, or leave and lose the lot but some people stay and survive at significant personal risk, designs are out there to provide shelter, and techniques in hazard reduction but if the fire is big enough, you lose.

I think this form of building remains interesting because of the thermal store and low(ish) cost but I am now thinking about what you say, because I really thought it had more fire survivability than you seem to be suggesting.
I think you’re misinterpreting the point of the article. It’s not gloating about how much they scale, or saying their particular tech beats other techs. It’s just explaining how to solve a specific scaling issue on a specific platform.

As an Elixir user who had to deal with high connections/s in the past, I found it interesting and useful. I use Elixir for reasons that have nothing to do with performance so a language comparison isn’t particularly interesting.
He also repeats that binary protocols have the downside that you need to "have the spec in front of you" to interpret them... but network traffic is virtually never inspected by humans without the assistance of a protocol dissector that will add the descriptions, parse numbers, and so on for you.

There is clearly an efficiency downside to packing this description into the messages themselves when the recipient software will necessarily have the protocol information necessary to decode it.
I was going to say "because it's convenient", but I realized that you're right: if it's identical anyway, the release date is as good a timestamp of the code as you're going to get. If for some sysadmin reason the build time is relevant, file metadata can tell you.
Interesting. This would imply that they're both genetic chimeras, as they don't carry a uniform genotype throughout their cells.
SQRL protects against phishing by using the site’s URL to generate a per-site Curve25519 keypair on the fly.

Same anti-phishing properties as being discussed here.

SQRL also has key revocation and rotation, but ultimately places responsibily for keeping backups of revocation codes on paper to the end user.

But since you only need to do this once for your SQRL master secret, and not for every damn site, it’s a lot more likely to happen in practice.
What's not so peculiar is that a 5 year old HN account with only 14 karma, and a profile that starts with

"Google has made our lives incredibly rich with knowledge and insight into our modern world. Google is the nicest monopoly out there and we should all support American corporations. I promise to defend Google from all attacks."

Is quite so insistent that web scraping a company that specialises in web scraping is inevitably such a bad thing...

It's quite obvious that at least one side of this discussion is a biased "fanboy" (as you put it)... I guess at least you're transparent about your stake in this matter in your profile...

"AirBnB for event space" sites already exist, like https://www.peerspace.com. All of them just generalize for "event" planning. But most of the spaces are for smaller events, because that's what's unused.

Once you get to 100+ attendees, options drop dramatically. When I did a cursory search for "average us wedding size", I got a number of 120.

So, I'm just not sure where this source of "good enough" venues are going to come from, that aren't already in use.

>It solves the problem of wasted energy delivering mail people don't want, like junk mail/spam.

Even if that was true, which it isn't as far as I can tell, that would be counter to the USPS's goals. They make a lot of their money delivering junk mail.
> A lot of the high quality journalism I'm attracted to (..., This American Life, etc.)

This American Life is journalism? I wouldn't call it that. It's more nonfiction storytelling, which isn't journalism in the same way someone's autobiography isn't journalism.
>It's articles like this that make me wonder how much of our middle class burden comes from hidden rent seeking parasites like this.

One third of it.

The other third is from advertising: a huge industry using all kinds of manipulation, psychological tricks, constant brain washing, and (nowadays) surveillance, to make us buy all kinds of crap we don't need, and didn't want until yesterday.

And the last third is from jobs that make the middle class so tired and give it so little time and space, that shopping feels like therapy, and giving in to rent-seeking is the only option.
So does GCC!

Google has made our lives incredibly rich with knowledge and insight into our modern world. Google is the nicest monopoly out there and we should all support American corporations. I promise to defend Google from all attacks.

Google is our teacher that just gives and gives without ever asking for money, a nerdy friend that knows everything about you and your friends, it is very well a prototype of Singularity.

Without Google there would be no America. Without Google HN would not exist. Without Google Youtube and silicon valley as we know it would never have happened.

Praise be upon Larry Page and Sergey Brin, for being put on this planet to bring about Google. Praise be upon God for allowing these two smart kids to come together. Praise be upon the risk takers from Sequoia that infused money.

Praise be upon America, our free market, our freedom that reaches sea to sea.

I don't think so, at least the sort of regulations I'm thinking of: environmental, structural, earthquake protection, etc. I think most of that stuff comes from outside studies and not from residents. But stuff like building height codes or putting wind farms near your city, yes I think that's mostly NIMBYs.

Doesn't that just reiterate my point? "While there are still rough edges" == "I cannot reliably use windows with any sort of scaling"

Take QGIS for example. It doesn't properly scale. On Windows you get an miniscule interface, on mac it's the same size as all other apps, just blurry. I'll take that any day.
From what I have read, the problem is that there is a shortage of batteries for Powerwalls because Tesla's total demand for batteries is running ahead of its supply, and the company gives the priority to its autos, so Tesla is keeping the Powerwall prices high for now.
FoundationDB assumes your clients are located close by in latency terms. It is not a geographically distributed database. You need to contact a machine to get a timestamp before you can read. You can build a layer with non-interactive transactions that are sent over the network from anywhere in the world, which may provide acceptable latency for some applications, but the data is only located in one region.

One could build a Calvin-style system on top of FDB to provide durability, cluster membership, and fault tolerance for data at a single site.

I think spam mail removal is an entirely different beast since USPS makes a lot (maybe even most) of their money off of mail that most people consider spam. It's in USPS's financial interest to deliver as much junk mail to you as possible.
I recently purchased glasses online for the first time, from EyeBuyDirect. I got a pair specifically for computer use, with a weaker prescription, smaller pupil distance, and lower index of refraction to cut down on chromatic aberration. For $45 I'm fairly satisfied, even though I haven't quite got the frames adjusted for a perfect fit yet. The chromatic aberration is still noticeable when I look for it, but definitely smaller than my regular glasses, and I'm hoping that in the long run it will be less distracting with the new pair.
I'd be interested in a city simulation game that is focused on realism and depth with no concern for having a modern UI or being pretty. Think Aurora 4x, Dwarf Fortress, or Nethack. "Doing your taxes in Excel" is, surprisingly, a real game genre.

It would be a very unpopular game, but there are people who would love it.
Well they are paying for it either way, why delay gratification?
For the recent years I stopped paying for vision insurance, and just pay out of pocket at Jins when I need new pairs. They have a brick and mortar near me (San Jose CA), and also do prescription sunglasses.

When I had vision insurance I feel obliged to get new pairs every year (covered by insurance), and also often pay a fair amount out of pocket because at most shops that accept the insurance the strictly under the coverage pairs are usually ugly or in shitty quality, or both. Jins lenses and frames are actually in good quality and durable.

SPOILER ALERT: 3taps was forced to pay millions in settlement.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craigslist_Inc._v._3Taps_Inc.#...

> 3Taps and PadMapper were companies that partnered to provide an alternative user interface for browsing Craigslist's housing ads. In doing so, they scraped Craigslist's site for data, which Craigslist did not approve of. Craigslist sent both companies a cease-and-desist letter and blocked their IP addresses, but this did not stop 3Taps from scraping through other IP addresses. Craigslist then sued, resulting in this case.

The article seems heavily influenced by author's personal preferences.

He starts from presenting false dichotomy (bit stream vs self-documenting text) and proceeds to apply his personal experience with proprietary GPS trackers to well-documented NTP protocol. He describes his favorite approach without mentioning it's downsides — and that approach is JSON! JSON!

By design, JSON format lacks any capacity for extensions. It's creators figured out, that backwards and forwards compatibility is more important that anything else, so they froze the specification at version 1 and refused to introduce new features or extension support. And thus JSON can't...

1) contain comments;

2) properly encode non-Latin text (no, — hexadecimal encoding is even worse than no encoding);

3) have more than one top-level element;

4) have any data types, except ones in JSON spec.

Each of those limitations has lead to creation of at least one incompatible JSON-like format, that can't be processed by spec-compalient JSON parsers. Pick a random piece of JSON from the wild, and you may find, that it isn't actually "JSON", but one of those quasi-JSON formats. To make matters worse, JSON spec didn't mention maximum supported number size/precision, so JSON payloads from one implementation may not properly decode on another implementation.

If he wants to design JSON-based NTP protocol, he is welcome to do so. But widely adopting such thing would be unwise — we already suffer from traffic amplification attack via NTP, and bigger packet lengths would make those worse.

Because it's not hugely relevant. Yes, Erlang is not a "fast" language by many metrics, but that [very often] is not the reason a team would choose to use it.

Lemme clarify that "pays well" meant "pays well in comparison to their other gigs". Which is still pretty bad, in comparison to doing pretty much anything else. Just a sad fact that almost all musicians make absolutely nothing.

It's impossible to pay for everything. The way you talk you want unlimited funds spent on public transportation - but then what happens to all the other expenses? Just don't fund them?

> but who don't want to pay taxes to fund better infrastructure can shut the fuck up.

Or maybe, they want limited funds spent. There is nothing at all wrong with that.
