I've had mostly negative experiences with Airbnb over the years.

My neighbors airbnb their house every weekend. So nice loud music and rude guests to deal with fairly often. Of course why not? They are not accountable to rest of us full timers in my neighborhood.

My place was broken into by someone who stayed at it before using Airbnb.

One guest almost started a fire and had to be removed.

Checking in and out of airbnbs can be a bit of a nightmare. Everyone has their own process for checkin.

Airbnb destroying local real estate markets is no surprise. They've been doing it for several years and getting in trouble for it for several years.

Growth at all costs - no matter what it does to local markets or people's lives. I'm sure their impact on local economies is the least of their concern until the governments attached to those economies start to speak up.

>That's not necessarily true, as plenty of businesses fail because they don't have a business plan for their product. The world is littered with great products that failed because there was no business plan or the business plan wasn't sustainable.
That observation is a long horizon observation. In the short horizon most businesses tend to stagnate and die because of interest and growth. Unless theyre trying to grow an organic biz overtime (which applying to YC seems to signal otherwise) going and getting in the ecosystem would be by far the largest upside to the biz and more importantly the entrepreneurs.

> Combining the non-zero and best thing for the biz.

These are kids who by being in YC get expert observation and access to a network that they would take a decade to build. The only scenario in which not getting in is better is if they strike some insane gold pocket and they are physically too busy to participate in YC. They had YC as a captive audience and there was precedent for flexibility, thats non zero.

same same. I hope this serves as the intro to a story titled "The time YC almost made another $5b."
> (...) when they use an obscure electronic part (...) it reaches End of Life, they buy all the stock (...) and charge a lot for it.

But in this case there were other suppliers and they buy all those parts to be exclusive sellers, and for a thing (a plane) that is expected to have a long life.

And still it's much more easy on the client than having a propertary chip with planned obsolescence (print 2,000 pages, or be cycled on-off 200 times, or wait 497 days, or be moved to another table 7 times, whatever happens first) and then fail without any trace on where was the wrongdoing of the costumer.

And then have no third-party suppliers. And then charge 80% of the equipament for just one part that was made to be replaceable.

I'm not talking for how long should HP, in my case, should store replacement parts, and I know that it implies some costs.

What I consider the giant problem is that we complain that the environment is getting polluted but companies are allowed to sell things that will last just some choosen time. That we buy something but we don't own it since nobody knows when or why it will fail. I'm ok with a plastic breaking, with a chip releasing the magic smoke.

I'm mad with a chip stop working for unknown reasons because it was designed to. I'm mad that I (or anybody else) can't fix it because programing it to fail after x pages is even copyrighted and the pokerfaced company says it is to protect me from hackers, from printing bad-looking pages, from spitting some ink in my desk...

When I pay for something I'm giving my money so that the company uses it as they wish. But in return I'm just getting that I don't own, that I can't use as I want, and even is against the law if I try, because I'll be breaking some IP if I make my own chip.

Anyone following the future of Java and how using the same method/signature/name for functions/API calling (whatever the name it takes) knows how it affects us, and can imagine how this can extends to the same reasoning when one company began claiming that "I have rights on the specific sequence of voltages that are applied to each pins of this print head, so anyone else can't make the same thing".

It's interesting to see how the Airbnb market has evolved. I used to always hear that "Airbnb is cheaper", but lately when booking trips I've been able to find better deals in hotels.
Maybe you should look into nootropics, nutrition, and meditation.

In my case, I'd have to let everything sit on my mind (refine, enrich, blend, blur, cohese..) for a while. After, I'd write it all in one go.

Outlines are sometimes great, as they allow pacing and regularity. On the other hand, they tend to destroy substance in a work.

Unless writing for leisure, ensuring there's a sufficiently-sized accessible interested market for your topic.

The more effort put into a book/novel, the less likely it is to do well. Many books catch on due to a good title (picking the right/hot topic). Everything else mainly involves revolving around and repeating the desire leading to the hot nature of the topic. The editor will handle the rest (grammar, spelling, etc). Most who buy books are women or feeler males (ie, all emotion).

I've noticed outside software or technical companies IT is basically 100% turn key with off the shelf mostly junkware (even 'enterprise') software being used. I attribute this to the mismatch between HR and the position being hired for and what higher education teaches w.r.t IT. Honestly what needs to happen is interviews need to be farmed out to places that understand the respective industry and not just certifications and higher education.

I can only speak regarding my current manager since my interactions with my previous managers were few and far between, but here are a few things I have noticed:

* If there are any issues at all, he is always available to listen. I am free to contact him at all hours during any time of the day, and he'll respond as soon as he can. In turn, I do the same for him. If there's ever any issue, I immediately jump on it and prioritize it, if possible. One thing to note is that I get 1.5x pay for every hour I work extra, so I don't mind spending a few extra hours to try to help out late at night if need be. It should also be noted he's only ever asked me to help work late once during the nearly five years I have been here...and I got a huge paycheck thanks to it.

* He keeps me out of unnecessary meetings and makes sure I only attend the ones that need to be attended. He attends the various program meetings and other leads meetings so that I can focus on actually programming. I have maybe one meeting a week thanks to this despite co-leading the BSP dev team here on at least four different programs.

* He listens to me when I suggest stuff and takes what I say seriously. I am free to speak my mind without consequence, even if it's questioning his decisions or direction. As such, I respect that he can override what I say and will go along with his final decision. That said, usually whenever I bring up something critical, he jumps right on it and begins talking to higher ups ASAP regarding how we can solve it.

* He gives actual feedback. If we, as a team, drop the ball, then he'll make sure to point that out. If we, as a team, do well, he'll make sure to mention that. If you perform well, he will make sure you get recognition from higher ups.
Many OS out there take advantage of RAM Disks. Alpine Linux for instance allows you to boot your root device on ram as a default. SmartOS runs a boot image completely on RAM, and keeps your storage free for a few configs and VMS.

Virtually all network booted computers run their OSs from RAM. If you have never pxe booted a machine, it is a beautiful experience once you overcome a few challenges: easy upgrades and rollbacks, being able to use a machine with different contexts/platforms by just rebooting, and having your servers cleaned up just by cycling (assuming you don't have local storage)

If you enjoy the idea of RAM root devices, please try pxe/ipxe to boot your computer from a network. Also, if you have a sufficiently fast network... it is probably faster than booting from disk!

EDIT: I missed the word "all" on the second paragraph, and another typo... sorry!

Publish the actual paper or this is just vaporware nonsense. This is a non-peer-reviewed paper with zero credibility, thats been seen by a small handful of people. They could literally write a paper about the moon being made of cheese and have the same credibility. They dont even make the source material available in their article.

I dont want to sound overly critical, this looks like a legit finding that matches up with my experience of the housing market, but Im completely fed up with people publishing their "findings" without reporting where the data came from and how they got to their conclusions. Until they publish the paper, this should be dismissed out of hand. There's such a long history of people completely messing up their statistical methodology that you cant believe anything until you see the actual numbers/methods.

Kano Jigoro, the father of Judo: Bury me in my white belt
You have supply and demand, both drive prices.

Airbnb changes the demand curve by letting residential zoned property be commercial short term rentals. It also doubles down by undermining actual hotels.

So you can react by saying just more houses. And I can react by saying “don’t do Airbnb, which is often illegal anyway.” We’re both right.

It's really a shame that most customers never learn and they keep accepting closed source/protocols.

While the world economy is quickly moving into endless vertical monopolies, history has shown that governments can sometimes wake up and restore competition.

Perhaps in 50 years using open standards will be encouraged e.g. by providing a tax discount

> there wasn't any reason to switch.

And a big reason not to switch: the big feature that Facebook has which Google could not possibly replicate is that it's not the same company that has control over all the data I type into the web search box. It's bad enough how much data my web search of choice gets, it's bad enough how much data my social media network of choice gets, but combined it would be worse than the sum of its parts.

It's incredibly easy to be data-conscious when all you have to to is not take active action to migrate from Facebook to Google and I believe that many people who would never lift a finger to control their data are still more than willing to factor data into their decisions if it's not inconveniencing them. Similar problems are faced by Bing and Alexa, why would I want to invite Microsoft or Amazon even deeper into my life than they already are?

This is not at all true, and we’ve dealt with unsophisticated but successful ATO attacks on TOTP all year. TOTP does not defend ordinary users against phishing.
I believe FreeNAS does something like this during startup. You can “install” it on mirrored USB drives in case you run out of power. The redundant USBs are used to install the OS back into RAM. An extra USB in case of corruption and they’re way cheaper than SSDs. I’m assuming you still need to write config files back to the USB.

FreeNAS prefers ZFS so it’s RAM hungry anyway. The article recommend 500mb more than you need.

Building more units might push down rent, but that assumes that the increase in housing supply won't be offset by owners who will simply convert those new units into more Airbnbs.

If landlords think short-term rentals are better for business than lease-based tenancy, then the amount of housing that would need to be built is much higher than demand.

Hopefully some regulation will be enacted as a result of this study but I won't hold my breath. Way too much money to be made by banks and RE agents in artificially restricting supply.
Yup, thanks. Will be more careful with that distinction in the future. =)
Quite a pointed you there. Thanks for that.

I love discovering and trying out innovative new products, and have made it a large part of what I do professionally.

However, some offerings I take more seriously than others.

With Google, if it's not search, data or ad related (i.e. the stuff that makes them money), it's generally the case it's not going to be around long-term.

Oops, should be deaf-blind. But you're right: I may have accidentally stumbled upon a market that, apart from cryogenics, has nearly zero products marketed toward them. And what of the living? Why can't they get the whole "dead" experience without the full commitment? I see DaaS (death as a service) with monthly subscription as a completely untapped pool of demand.

Let's look at this a bit differently - Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system or computer files until a sum of money is paid. Most ransomware variants encrypt the files on the affected computer, making them inaccessible, and demand a payment to restore access.

Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system or computer files until a sum of money is paid. Most ransomware variants encrypt the files on the affected computer, making them inaccessible, and demand a ransom payment to restore access.

Ransomware is rarely individually targeted, but rather a “shotgun” approach where the attackers (Clue I) acquire lists of emails or compromised websites and blast out ransomware.

Microsoft used a method to install software giving it superuser rights without a login. (Clue II) Most ransomware is based on this same install job. It is lightweight but identifiable.

Ransomware is a tripartite intruder and is based on what's already there on Windows (mscexe) in your compute and a substitution of legit program (outlook encrypt) Once the 3 parts are there your system is theirs and only a windows product key method "EFHST-G6ERT-VXWMT-FF8MB-MYERR" can free it - all thanks to Microsoft's product key methodology.

Oh and "backups" & PCmatic won't help and because Microsoft uses the same method to stop you from sharing software. You have seen the screen yourself => you have entered an invalid the product key!

Ransomware can be shipped with a NSA crack( EternalBlue ) forced onto the city of Baltimore (Clue III ) but the same code to create a superuser is open to the public is the
end to all protection - because it hides using Microsoft's hidden directory method.

Well what to do now, pay the BTC? Yes and NO Yes buy BTC and NO this is where we create a pigeon drop for out NSA connected friends - we don't accept the face price and try to keep our BTC keys and Encrypt theirs.

For the FBI and NSA the profit from robbing Venezuela, Iran, Russia, Ukraine and Switzerland has been too great for them to stop. As witnessed with Venezuelan money gone and power outage.

That said, demand that Microsoft be held liable for product defects and to make all actions visible to the end user community ( no hidden files or directories ).

I think the whole argument of "unicorns exploiting legal grey areas" falls victim to Hanlon's razor. I don't really believe these companies set out to bend or break any laws, it was more a case of the legal system not catching up fast enough. Uber started as a service to hire limousines, not a platform company.

If governments weren't so concerned with party politics, infighting and staving off populist surges, we'd probably have a proper definition for a "gig economy" worker by now. A definition that would allow them to keep the flexibility that they appreciate so much, whilst still having proper worker protections for sick pay, holidays and all the rest.

True! We've decided to be nimble, and it does take a toll (no pool tables, no big patio furniture, smaller couches, etc). But saving the cash is worth it to us. 12% on 1000k/mo rent comes out to an extra 1440/year that could be saved. To us, such a thing is worth the weekend of moving hell.
The same happened in London and I lived through it, saw this happening in my neighbourhood, but the thing is, nobody cares. Every single person I brought this up with dismissed it as a non issue.

Those flats on Airbnb have to come from somewhere and there are rental agencies that specialise in managing properties exclusively for Airbnb, none of this existed before and some of those properties were taken from the long let market, which would drive prices up.

I feel like I must be missing something here, especially given who I'm replying to, but doesn't it mean that, even if your password is compromised, it can't be used to log into the service which is also protected by TOTP? Regardless of impact on other services if someone reuses their password. So in theory, there's no desperate need for you to reset your password for the service (though of course you should) because it's still protected by your TOTP setup. (Well, unless your current TOTP was leaked and someone reuses your password and current TOTP before it times out, if the service allows that.) Of course, it depends on the nature of the breach. I've assumed the password leak via request logging as you mentioned (and possible leak of single TOTP), but if the seed for the TOTP is also leaked (e.g. DB breach), then naturally you're in trouble!
I wonder whether this achieves anything performance-wise that just cat'ing every file to /dev/null to warm up the buffer cache wouldn't achieve.

In theory, the kernel uses a buffer cache that will hold on to disk pages until they're invalidated by writes. It'll evict the cache if there's memory pressure. But this setup will presumably just crash if there's memory pressure, so that doesn't seem like a win for the RAM disk.

I can't speak to the nature of the Canadian market, but in the bay area where people also say banning AirBnB will help I always like to remind people that there are approximately 7,000 AirBnb units in SF[1], and there is was an estimated housing shortage of 300,000 units in 2016[2]. Even if you outlawed all AirBnb listings, it would not change rent prices at all, its a rounding error on the shortage of available housing.
