Show HN: Rent other people's workspaces while on the move at chouf.space
Fellow HNer,

I never thought this day would come: I'm finally posting a project of my own on Show HN. For once, I'm so proud of myself!

The idea of Chouf.Space came as I was working on some other (side)project. Even though coworking spaces and coffee shops were aplenty, it was hard for me to find a quiet, private space to work from. Private offices for rent are of course available, but at a cost I wasn't ready to sustain.

I long fantasized about renting other people's houses so that I can get work done. Until one day I figured that I might just make such a service available to serve my needs, and those of people like me.

That's how I started working on Chouf.Space, and unlike all my other projects, this one survived to see the light of the day: http://chouf.space/peer?invitedby=hn

I'm really happy and, from the deepest depths of my heart, hope you guys find this useful.

This is my email address if need be: hi@chouf.space
I don’t think anyone wants the projects of the 50-70s. See the navigation centers in sf. It works.
Amy time you ask to lock up dangerous individuals the response is always that you hate the homeless, you lack empathy and that criminal justice doesn’t work. It’s worse than the gun debate

It won't matter if US implement 100% tariff on China, what's going to happen next is that they're still going to create 800 parts in China, which gets shipped to Vietnam and assembled there and exported as a product of Vietnam. Vietnam (or whatever other country) would benefit at the cost of China/United States and more carbon emission due to shipping.

The enormous electronic manufacturing in China isn't moving anywhere, there's just nowhere that has the scale, infrastructure,and the know how to produce cheap electronic products. If you think this is still all just people on the assembly line, you've got a very historical understanding of this process.
On the flip side, I have a hard time imagining how a homeless drug addict will be able to kick drugs while on the street and then somehow find a house and then become a 'meaningful' member of society without support. They basically have two problems: no house and a drug addiction. Fixing the 'no house' problem without tying it to drug addiction is a step towards normalcy.
Ok, fair enough, I appreciate the answers to my question - why on earth would I get docked 4 points for asking a question is a mystery though.. whoever you are.

Womanizer: a man who often has temporary sexual relationships with women or tries to get women to have sex with him.

Germany’s mittelstand is remarkable. Sweden’s domestic manufacturing industry is also impressive.

Edit for spelling.
"immediately start looking" does not equal "ordering companies home."
The other weird thing politicians do is add the word "great" to everything - great state, great company, great nation, great this, great that... to the point that the effectiveness of the word is lost.
Is there a place I can view all the sponsor segments I've submitted? It would be nice to see them individually, maybe with stats about how often each one was used and whether or not it is in good standing w/rt voting.
Advertisers don't follow us around and take photos of us, so that's not something we need to worry about. But CCTVs do have photos of us being taken every 10 seconds in public in major cities. It's not an issue. Nobody is publishing CCTV photos of me. Similarly, advertisers aren't telling your spouse what websites you visited. They just want to show you ads that are relevant to your interests.

My point is that the expectation of privacy is unreasonable in every situation. For example, it's unreasonable in public or when doing business with others.
> the pickpocketers will just switch to muggings. That would be even worse. Surely you don’t want that, do you?

A contrast with law enforcement, is that the abusers are not punished and deterred, but instead encouraged to escalate the potency of their behaviour. Anti-tracking technology is preventing pick-pocketing by expecting people to ride in armoured cars. This should be part of the solution, but we also need deterrence.

Laws like the GDPR should in theory help, but sadly enforcement with regard to tracking consent has been lacklustre, and consequently and predictably the law is widely flaunted. This makes the mitigating technical measures all the more necessary, yet they are not a panacea.
Does there need to be a line drawn here? I don’t think there is a contradiction between empathy and enforcement. For example, I would really like an end to the bike and package theft and I think it is reasonable to enforce laws against it. Do you disagree?
Every now and then there are bumps in the size of the return (typically every 4 years, which is why the 4 year average is more meaningful to determine population health), but with salmon it isn't a very strong indicator of anything other than that spawning was more successful than usual or disease and predation were reduced while the salmon were maturing in the ocean. It has very little long-term bearing on population growth or stability, unfortunately. I'm not sure but I suspect a couple years ago was probably a normal, predictable spike. People get excited about it nonetheless.

Another thing to consider is that what we call a glut of sockeye these days is still a paltry return compared to what was once possible. 100 years ago, before a certain landslide occurred in one of BC's major rivers, our largest returns were estimated to be almost 40,000,000 fish. This year, we're seeing around 600,000 fish. We were expecting 4,800,000.
My dad is from Russia and he sees the American taboo about talking politics at work as just lame and pathetic. Like we're too sensitive or something. I think he may have even said it was just fine in the U.S. as well back in the 70s (when it was also okay to smoke in the office) but I'd have to check again.

So I gotta wonder if this is generally true or if there are cultural factors.
How did you arrive at "quitting civilization" after starting at "living on a self-sustaining farm"? Does the Internet experience 100% packet drop around manure or in the presence of a critical mass of agricultural specialists?

The Internet gave everyone a voice. If "everyone" includes only those who are forcibly compacted into big cities, I think this should be made clear to the rest of us.

Lastly, living on a farm does not remove a person's ability to vote.
Hi, firstly, thank you for your interest.

Now, to answer your question. We are planning to implement a few features that for what ever reason SoundCloud has failed to implement, features that we deem crucial to a community. We aim to be a as transparent as possible not only in the development process but also new features and any/all suggestions will always be welcome.

As for the money, well this is something we are still figuring out, we have a few ideas. What ever we decided we need to be careful not to ruin the experience for anyone.

There will be no comprise on quality.

Initially, especially during early access the platform will be free for all!

There will be public/private forums as well as the ability for artists to create multiple profiles under one account for their alias but also finer permissions so labels/management etc can also post on behalf of the artists and much much more.

I hope this answers your question? Even if it's a little vague? We don't want to give away too much too early.

Sign up to our early access and once we are able to tell you more we will!
Canadian govt (or BC) are not smart cats. Unfortunately.

I'd personally make tons of policies to extract as much money possible from these type of immigrants tbh.
Oh that's really nice, since it's so complete! We tried to mold Windows 95 with more generic elements that you can use for any website. But the details/feedback would be very much helpful!
I feel like calling out human rights violations is more important than easily launching global web services, though.
In a nutshell, why are we trying to do this?
This is truly amazing, thank you for the links!
> OOP encourages developers to over-think object hierarchies and build baroque code that is prematurely generalized.

How does it encourage exactly? In my experience sophomoric programmers are just as capable of over-engineering in a functional environment. Seems more a function of cargo-cult behavior than anything else.
I guess I mean the phrase a little differently here. Rails does have a particular envelope that they support, but it is also pretty open to extensions. More importantly, if you do something slightly different, you do not end up having to debug reams of dubious, poorly tested code just to figure out how to get your nominally reasonable change to work. I spent a huge amount of time trying to figure out whether the change I really needed to make was in some XML file, some class annotation, or some custom code.
I'm not really sure but I think that after I pressed on button, it should remain focused and that focus should be rendered as a dotted rectangle inside button. Should be possible with CSS.
Neither is allowing schizophrenics, petty criminals and drug addicts to harm themselves and others, on the assumption that there's no such thing as normative civil behaviour. So that they might be "healed" by being left to their own devices, someone else needs to be harmed.

That someone is usually the poor naive bougie who thought that by paying property taxes and having a job, he could expect to be able to retain possession of his bike && not have to step over piles of human excrement on the way to the shop down the corner.

Singapore seems to avoid having these problems, as does Shanghai. So, while authoritarianism isn't about healing, that really isn't a primary function of state. Keeping order, maintaining a monopoly on violence, and maybe providing against certain preventable evils is really more why we have governments.
>Oh yes, they absolutely are

Well, yeah... of course there are instances of that. None of those are examples represent "social change". When you talk about protests in the NFL in the context of this thread, anyone who doesn't live under a rock is going to think of taking a knee during the anthem.

C'mon, helmet disputes? In what way is that relevant to your quote here?

>Brings to mind the attitude of "shutup and play ball" when sports athletes try to use their platforms for some aspect of social change or another.

Are you arguing just to argue?
To be clear, I didn't mean that gas prices were affected by the tariffs. Just that I noticed gas prices more than I notice any other changes in price since the tariffs have gone in place.
I feel like they are separate tasks. Companies should be apolitical. Governments should be political. Governments should actively set limits for what companies can and should/should not do.
My biggest problem is not being able to discern the quality of an item before I purchase. Ratings were last reliable 10 years ago. Different brands used to mean different products, so you used to be able to feature-and-price compare. About the only thing I've figured out to do is to look at pictures to try to group items by manufacturer, purchase one-per-real-manufacturer, then return all of the obvious crap and hope I end up with at least one good item.

Maybe we need a Facebook plugin through which people can (willingly) share their purchases. Don't look at ratings for products from rando strangers, only see the stuff your friends have bought. In the worst case, you're no worse off than the status quo, but maybe I could finally find a decent laptop bag.
Is it empathy that leaves the mentally unwell and drug addicted to rot in the street, harass and endanger passersby, and commit petty crimes with impunity?
When I was out there last fall, we stayed in Belltown and walked all over. I'm wondering, where was all this squalor you speak of? I came out with a very different impression of the city than you describe. Obviously you would know better, so I'm just wondering, did I get lucky?
I don't know - maybe? Admittedly, I was just getting out of diapers at the tail end of the 80s. Perhaps this kind of thing revolves around the onset of new communication mediums and the general adoption and ease of use.

Newspapers, easy to read, hard to publish - "trusted" source. Printing press and/or other technologies aid printing and trust drops. Radio, TV, internet follow.
As a European citizen I would really like to provide the people of Hong Kong a passport of their choosing. Our Western colonial mistakes are responsible for setting up China with this situation in HK. The best is to acknowledge our mistakes and welcome anybody that feels compromised by a Chinese annexation.

In the past the Netherlands has made a promise to the people of South Maluku a republic and independent status from Indonesia in a similar situation which in the end could not be upheld. This enfolded in to a very traumatic event where people out of desperation high jacked a train in the Netherlands to come to a solution. Some of these people where killed.

China has a righteous claim on HK and the West should not be in denial of the inevitable. Giving China the chance of restoring their geographical region while facilitating a frictionless migration for those in need would prevent in worse case scenario a war.

Asian people assimilate very well in Western societies and we can always use more people with an average IQ of 108.

Swamp coolers are ubiquitous in New Mexico too, but they're falling out of fashion for new construction. Partially because they require a lot of maintenance, but mostly because water is no longer being seen as free and unlimited here in the high desert.

The maintenance issue could be remedied with better engineering. But the water issue will require lifestyle changes that include getting serious about recycling gray water and harvesting rainwater, both of which are basically illegal now in many parts of the West.
If it was feasible for companies to manufacture in the US they would. Effectively blocking China without a concomitant investment in US manufacturing is a lose/lose situation.
>There were much worse fires in those administrations, and no internation commotion and criticism like what we're seeing now.

Perhaps because those offices weren't publicly, overtly and self-admittedly anti-environment. They didn't call themselves "Captain Chainsaw", for one.
Wow. That's your criticism? That they leaders aren't suffering enough? You and I have very different ideas about what incarceration is for.
This new initiative seems to be about some changes to Chrome that were overlooked due to hazy justifications that seem to have distracted everyone. I'm guessing the justifications are especially unclear because Google doesn't want to upset advertisers. But how about we look at the technical changes they're announcing, rather than how they justify them?

- Forcing websites to explicitly mark cross-site cookies, or they get blocked for cross-site usage. They also seem to be hinting at adding better ways to clear cookies in Chrome. [1] [2]

- Further attempts to block fingerprinting. (Vague, seems hard?)

These seem like... good things? The SameSite initiative makes CSRF attacks harder. Maybe not big news or as strong as you'd like, but in the right direction?

Except that it is happening right now, and I don't see politicians doing anything substantial to stop it.
Almost all of what are called subsidies for oil and gas (can’t speak for coal), at least in North America, are just the fact that we don’t price in externalities. There are a few token non-operational subsidies that oil companies enjoy, but they are orders of magnitude smaller than the taxes we apply to oil and gas at multiple levels of production, distribution, and sale.

Oil and gas, if you ignore global warming, really is very, very cheap.

It's definitely something that many wish was true, which is why it's being spread so widely.
You can get light grey shingles. Might look fine if it works with the paint color of the walls.
Definitions here "wildfire, defined as largescale forest loss resulting from the burning of
forest vegetation with no visible human conversion or agricultural activity afterward". There is clear agricultural activity immediately shown after the vast majority of Brazilian fires. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/sci/361/6407/1108.ful...
Great catch + novel idea. But how would the tool distinguish between those sharing their legitimate controversial opinions (everyone has a right to free speech, no matter how 'brainwashed') vs. malicious active derailing?
That would indeed be a nice option to have.
Yup, that's my point. Saying "everything is political" might be true, but it misses the point that some things are far less political than others, and almost everyone who says things like "no political conversation" probably means "no highly political conversation".
>but at least we aren't exploiting the labor of vulnerable people in foreign countries anymore

Well, they will be jobless now.
I’ve come to loathe inheritance in OOP, favoring composition instead.

The idea of creating abstract base classes makes sense in theory, but this eventually leads to problems regarding inherited behavior (i.e. debugging unexpected behavior of a “duck typed” interface up the inheritance chain)
> Clearly that’s not the case, unless you make it your mission to make it so.

I don't know if it is so clear, since the poster I'm responding to is explicitly claiming that trans women are not women, they are men. As far as I understand this is something referred to as politically charged subject matter.

> Clearly politics is not banned, only certain kinds of politics is. The other kind is being enforced hard.

Can you clarify? What is the other kind?

> If you allow this to be a treated as a political act

Is referring to a trans woman as a man or as a woman inherently apolitical, as it does not reflect on one's belief on if trans people are the gender they identify as?
Sure you can, but do we? And are there sufficient facilities to do so? A judge also mandated that the federal government house migrant children in a humane way but how well is that working out...point being that you can’t mandate something that there are no resources to do.
Experts Attempt to Explain DevOps
Based on your comments, it seems to me that you want a great deal more than people to be fired for violating corporate policy. Perhaps I have misread you?
That's an extremely narrow version of global economics. There are tons of benefits to local markets being serviced by local producers, and there are also benefits to being serviced by foreign producers. Also, if you take those jobs away from foreign markets without replacing them (or fixing the labor conditions) how exactly can you see a generation starving and jobless as a net good?

Isolationism doesn't work without completely changing the paradigm, and what you're proposing is basically just saying "Good luck on your own" as if without American corporations these people would immediately shift to some sort of worker's paradise.
> that would, presumably, be illegal:

It's not worth enumerating the illegal things that the President can do. It's not bounded by anything.
None of those are political in nature

I don't know what to tell you, then, if you really don't think two players putting their careers on the line, 1 by directly challenging and publicly calling out the organization that pays his salary for their relationship to the sitting President isn't political.

You claimed players weren't protesting the actions of the NFL.

I gave you three examples of it. Two of them squarely political, one over connections to the president, the other over criminal justice reform.

Please stop moving the goalposts.

None of those are examples represent "social change".

I'd argue the recent attention the league has been placing on player safety and the conversations emerging about brain injuries in sports represents a pretty important social change.

Are you arguing just to argue?

No and I'd appreciate a better characterization of my viewpoints on the topic, than a reductionist accusation of arguing for sport simply in the presence of your apparent disagreement. We can disagree how valuable these topics are to a larger political dynamic, but I'm not going to engage if this is how you choose to label my opposing viewpoint.
As a person heavily invested in OOP, is there any good reference (book preferably) about Functional Programming?

I know there must be lots of resources, but finding a good one can be difficult when you are new to a field.
It's standard LA fare... Pretty much any LA textbook will cover these. For a focus actual computation (ie numerical LA), consider Golub's (RIP) Matrix Computations (more of a reference, though, not so much for self-study), Trefethen's Numerical Linear Algebra, Demmel's Applied Numerical Linear Algebra.
Maybe an option similar to Netflix's "skip introduction" by which you can press a button to skip the intro or (default) watch it.
Not sure if this is a coincidence, but your account is less than 65 days old and seem to mainly to post comments that are pro-Beijing. It's entirely possible that you have a bit of a bias in regards to Cathay Pacific.
I'm really curious to see how this would work on humans.

That's my question: do the people that want 100pc of the manufacturing to come back to the US have a plan for the inevitable ecological fallout? When we outsourced production to China we also outsourced the pollution produced by that manufacturing.
I’m glad to learn some places are doing this!
Using the preinstalled vrowser would mean bloating you app with polyfiles to aupport all differents browsers. It's one of the reasons modern apps are bloated. Electron solves this.
Lots of politicians/governments do this as some form of self-congratulatory propaganda, maybe?

Notice how any country with the words "democratic" or "republic" in the name are actually dictatorships? And it's an extra tyrannical dictatorship if it has both.
Well it makes about as much sense as buying Greenland.
Good luck with that ... my money is on China.

This is not "absolute protection". American companies import much more than they export, so if he can't do whatever he wants to imports, there is no economic freedom.
