Airbnbs are incredibly overpriced for what you get. They remind me of food trucks. Everything leads you to expect lower prices than a brick and mortar restaurant yet the prices are similar due to the small scale.
Generally speaking, the number of words is discrete, not infinite, so I don't believe that Godel's theorems would apply here.

I'm not saying that new words aren't created, just that in a practical sense, unless you're creating new words to mess with someone trying to do this, it doesn't apply.

You have my most enthusiastic contrafribularities.
Isn't the answer "two" ? "One" and "None" (or on and off) ?

Of course I see the obvious bootstrapping problem where you relate the encoding starting with just those two words but ... somehow I think that's easier to overcome than it seems ... as in, I think it must be possible.

If Helen Keller can write a book, surely I can relate digital encoding to a toddler over the course of a year or three, right ?

I love articles like this. I write quick daily notes on my computer in markdown and back them up in a GitHub repo. (Using this fun little script: https://github.com/dcchambers/note-keeper) It's worked really well for me and helps me easily synchronize my notes between systems.

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

---

So, with respect to politics, is this a new phenomenon? If we think, "No, this has been going on forever," then this story would be inappropriate. But if we think it's something new that is part of a very new phenomenon in the form of the Trump Presidency, then this would seem to be just fine.

It's a judgment call.

Fixing this is one of the killer features of the "Blaze" family of build-systems (Buck, Bazel, Pants, Please), since they do not defer the actual build execution to another program (such as Make or Ninja).

Response from a CMake dev:

> Well, by the time CMake could discover -MM flags, the build has already been written and CMake (the program) is out of the picture. Linking to a CMake target is also not just "add this library to your link line" either, so a simple response file written somewhere during the build for the linker to use is not sufficient (nevermind that this file may be updated by any TU compilation rule in a library target, something build tools tend not to like too much). I guess combination configure/generate build tools can do this, but CMake is a build generator and does not execute the build at all.

The authorities just wanted to make an example of him and scare the masses.

Reminds me of the excellent PBS documentary about the financial crisis.

Rather than bringing the big banks to justice, the "authorities" decided to scapegoat a small community asian american bank. That's the "justice" system for you.
I didn't say the US was innocent of anything.
This is a classic example of using the truth to tell a lie.

The banks did repay their loans, this is true.

They also got to take HUGE risks without having to bear the risk, yet they got to capture the entire reward.

The government didn't charge the big banks a multi-trillion dollar tax for taking on the risk of doing TARP.

Normally, you would just get that in a dataset anyway which is more transparent. All my data is extremely private too, and they'll never have it available.

This has been my experience exactly (I’ve tried it in American and international markets, but don’t recall specific cities). I try them like once every 6 months and am always disappointed. You go thru the whole flow to find that there’s a Hotel Tonight fee and therefore the rate is more expensive (or at least isn’t cheaper) than you’d get by simply searching various other travel sites, and they don’t give you a guaranteed room type. Maybe if you don’t care about finding the best deal it’s a nice experience for people? (I most certainly do like to get the best deal though.)

Snippet?? App Facilitates Social and Business Opportunities Right Around You
The Snippet?? iOS app is an on-location socializing & networking tool to find people around you and make valuable social & business connections without working an entire room or leaving it to chance. Approach & engage in in-person conversations with confidence using common interests as an icebreaker. With Snippet??, you don't have to waste time trying to work an entire room to try and find people with common professions, social hobbies, interests, or networking goals (ie find an engineer, an investor, a fellow salsa dancer). You never know what valuable opportunity or connection you could make with someone at the same venue. Now Snippet?? shows you and encourages in-person interaction, where the real connections are made. It all starts with a conversation.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think the difference is Amazon always/mostly charges the primary users money. Googles business seems to be 'hey it's free' for primary customers, charge secondary customers $$$. Problem with that is much later when it becomes obvious there isn't enough money to be made by spying on the now quite large user base. Google then just tosses the thing over the side.

RAM has been a terrible business for as long as I can remember (since the 70s). Intel was originally in the RAM business and got out of it early because it was so horrible. I honestly don't know why anyone even bothers (though of course I'm glad they do!).
> but it's not necessarily releasing all that it can back to the system either.

That's exactly the point of swapping. Memory which was not used in a (relatively) long time is taken away forcefully from the process if there is memory pressure on the system.

So it doesn't matter if Chrome releases it or not, it will be taken away if it just sits there.
Except there are plenty of people who truly believe that, and it's hard to tell the difference anymore
If an Airbnb is a lot cheaper there is going to be a reason, often it's location. I tend to move around and the ridiculous cleaning fees for Airbnb make it a non-starter. I'm flying to San Diego tomorrow and Hotel Tonight has several nice looking choices at around $100 a night (~$120 with taxes and fees). I just looked at Airbnb and I can get a studio apartment in a similar area for $79 a night which seems like a steal, but it's $184 after fees! $70 cleaning, $19 service fee and $16 "Occupancy taxes and fees". Airbnb is worse than Ticketmaster in this regard.

I would only use Airbnb for long stays when I need extra bedrooms. It just doesn't make sense for the traveling I do or for most business travel.

I love street art, but there's a few things I'd do to make the app more usable.

- You can swipe from the left and just see the word "BottomTabNavigator" in a side menu. That seems like an InterfaceBuilder element made it onto a storyboard without meaning to.

- When I go to see the details of an image, there's no location there! Seeing pics is cool, but seeing street art in person is even cooler. :)

- I wouldn't make the first screen you see a content blocking login/register screen. Show me some art!
>Many of them say their goal is to settle in the US despite warnings by US officials that anyone found entering the country illegally will face arrest, prosecution and deportation.

You're conflating the word "goal" with the idea of "malicious intention".

Let me give an example: I have a goal to travel to space but I'm not building my own unlicensed rockets with unlicensed materials to do it. This doesn't implicitly mean that I mean or intend to break the law, whatsoever.

Secondarily, as another post already pointed out, asylum can be granted for people who enter illegally, as codified in the US Code[0]:

Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.

If you're going to argue the merits of violating the law as reasons to deny them asylum, (and deport them) then you should, at the very least, be aware of the law's allowance of such action, which they're leveraging to seek asylum, yeah?

In other words, your argument is specious because it entirely discredits the "law of the land", as it were. Not mention, of course, that you fail delineate betwixt "goal" and "intent".

Why is it always up to me? I feel the same as parent poster - I go to events or work functions or what-have-you and the onus is always on me - the one with stunted social skills - to advance things along.

Are there really no people that can at least bootstrap things for me? Or is it the case that those people with social competence already have a healthy social life and aren't actually interested in any deeper connection to begin with?

Herein is where my "you're a dummy" thought loops kick in on this. I can see it is a little spoiled to demand that a social life be handed to me with no work involved, but on the other hand, I see a bootstrapping problem here:

Why stop there? What if it could be shown to be plausible that blocking speakers on campus increases tensions and escalates violence because of the suppression of people's views? It doesn't stretch credulity that right wingers are more mad about restricting the expression of their beliefs than they are about the subject itself. For evidence, watch a sample of Fox News -- they're often indignant and "righteously upset" over "being told what to think or say".

I think two books on this subject are extremely informative. One is _Stress Test_ by Timothy Geithner, the other is _The end of Alchemy_ by Mervyn King.

Both have to do with the policies discussed in this article and the Lender of Last Resort (LOLR) policies implicit in the role of central banks.

You are describing the Moral Hazard risks that Geithner mostly dismisses as irrelevant in the moment, and which King believes needs to be removed from the system entirely. The combination of the two works gives a lot to think about.

Charter schools are first and foremost a tactic for weakening unions. There's nothing stopping experimental “sub-schools,” using public school teachers from developing within an existing public school. That's in fact how my kids' aforementioned school started. It was just a couple of classrooms within a larger K-8 public school. Eventually its program became so popular that it took over the building.

That does fit a certain limited notion of school choice, but it's not in my experience what most people have in mind when they talk about voucher programs. Choosing between two neighborhood schools isn't a marked improvement over being assigned to one. This is especially the case since demographic factors strongly tied to geography are prevailing influences in school success.

How to Keep Parents from Fleeing Stem Careers
I will say quite plainly that if I were on a jury where a person is on trial for human trafficking, and the person reasonably believed they were only helping asylum seekers, I would find them not guilty. I don't know the letter of the law in this area, but I would find them not guilty regardless of the letter of the law (jury nullification).

More than likely, I suspect the evidence would support this study out of the University of Southern California who found that the asylum narrative is largely a myth and most caravan members are economic migrants:

Philadelphia Outlaws Cashless Restaurants
A few years back, Maurizio Cattelan made a solid-gold working toilet and installed it in the Guggenheim. Regular museum goers could stand in line, go into the little bathroom, and use the toilet. It was a completely functioning toilet. As I recall, the solid-gold toilet seat was very very heavy - go figure.

Cattelan's artwork riffs off Duchamp's artwork: how much is a toilet worth? Well, a solid-gold toilet is work a lot!! He also named the work "America", so there's a whole bunch of extra meanings on top. The work is so solid, but it's got a hundred meanings on top. It's garish and obscene, but also completely democratic!

> Have you considered getting a bluetooth keyboard/mouse?

Not OP... a BT kb/mouse has been a great consumer-friendly boost on larger tablets for me but sadly... lots of applications (on Android) don't really take advantage of this. They are still very heavily optimized for touch-only.

Example: MX Player (my fav Android player) does a great job binding keyboard presses to actions (spaceBar: pause; arrowKeys: forward, back, etc..)

In contrast, VLC for mobile lacks this "polish". Mobile browsers are another example where actions could be optimized for mouse input but I haven't come across a browser yet that acknowledges mice as a separate input source.
