This is intentionally misleading. Sure, "legally" it might be accurate , but is that what a customer would be expecting if a listing says the accommodation has air conditioning? AirBnB should provide accurate representations of accommodation, regardless of the legal definition. The listings are not legal documents - they exist to inform customers what they will be getting for their money. And if AirBnB knowingly misleads customers (despite adhering to legal definitions) then they could (in some countries) be liable under consumer protection laws.
There is a saying that goes something like: when you play with snakes, don't be surprised if you get bitten.

When you book AirBnb vs a hotel you are signalling that you value cost over predictability and oversight. Those hotel fees and regulations are there for a reason. With AirBnb, one of the reasons they can offer stuff cheaply is that they are arbitraging regulation and oversight.

If you really need to work, book a hotel that serves business clients.

I view this complaint in the same manner I view people who book travel on RyanAir and complain about poor service. The whole point of RyanAir is about seeing how much misery people will tolerate in exchange for a cheap airfare.

My interpretation of "as easy to use as regular expressions" is that the desired... formalism be usable in the same contexts and with the same casual ease as regex. Think Unix command lines, hairy ad-hoc Python parsing scripts, etc.

One of the things that makes regex so well suited to that role is that a string is a regex that matches itself, and you can iteratively add sophistication from there. At the very least, you would want to maintain (or improve, Cthulhu knows there's plenty of room) that incremental quality in any proposed replacement, while increasing its power.

It looks like with a DCG, you have to know you're writing one up front, and have to think about what you're parsing at a much more abstract level. The average sysadmin could probably not casually toss one off for a log parsing task. If there's an alternate syntax that gets around that problem, then I'm interested. OTOH...

Re "misfeature": one of the cool things about existing parsing formalisms is all the known terminating, mostly (all?) polynomial algorithms for analyzing them. If DCGs are Turing complete, they don't have those algorithms. Turing completeness is not usually a property I want in my parser. That's what I meant by saying it's a misfeature.

Live beneath your means (aka save part of your income)

This is where your premise breaks down. There are millions of people who do this who are not “wealthy”. They’re just “retired”. Acquiring real wealth requiring vastly more then your means to the point where the ratio of income to expenses doesn’t really mean much.

Even if you consider Buffet a penny pincher that’s not how he created his wealth.

I’m in one of the higher tax brackets in Canada and my _net_ tax rate for 2018 was 28.74%—and that is both _federal_ and _provincial_ taxes.

Per Revenue Canada documentation, the 2019 rates will be:
* 15% on the first $47,630 of taxable income, plus
* 20.5% on the next $47,629 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over 47,630 up to $95,259), plus
* 26% on the next $52,408 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over $95,259 up to $147,667), plus
* 29% on the next $62,704 of taxable income (on the portion of taxable income over 147,667 up to $210,371), plus
* 33% of taxable income over $210,371

Ontario adds on to that:

* 5.05% on the first $43,906 of taxable income, +
* 9.15% on the next $43,907, +
* 11.16% on the next $62,187, +
* 12.16% on the next $70,000, +
* 13.16 % on the amount over $220,000

https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individ...

I’m in the third tax bracket. My wife and I together would be in the fourth (but income taxes are not blended that way).

So…no, Canadian taxes are not, and have never been as bad as people say. (Before I émigrated, my wife and I made the same amount of money one year—and I paid more in state and US federal taxes than she did, in the 90s.)

And I get healthcare and a healthy society out of it.
I don‘t know if there are exact numbers regarding your statement, but booking a house or flat vs booking a hotel

a) is not necessarily cheaper and in many cities like berlin can actually be more expensive, especially regarding the top class flats

b) is more a matter of personal taste in my experience, as renting a vacation apartment tends to be a more diverse and self reliant experience than booking a hotel room

I agree on some senses, but AirBnB often resembles hotels more than renting out a spare room nowadays.

Sure if you're booking an unknown, new, cheapo listing you could get anything. But large amounts of the high rating offerings are essentially hotels without a reception desk nowadays.

AirBnB had changed drastically in that regard.

Troubles Mount for the We Company as Softbank Reportedly Calls for Shelving IPO
America’s healthcare costs are so expensive _because_ of profit-taking by middlemen. In Ontario, the providers _are_ private (my doctor runs his own business), but their rates are set by the province and he is paid for _most_ of his services by billing the province. Even when private insurance is used (e.g., for dentists), the payment rate is set by the province and not by the private insurers (they may determine how much of that they will cover, but the customary charges are set by the province).

It’s amazing how much more affordable healthcare is when obscene corporate profits aren’t part of the equation.

Let's say I'm going out and offer to bring you back a sandwich. I can't give you the sandwich and then claim you owe me $20 because that was my price. I either need to form that contract up front, or I can only expect reimbursement for the amount I actually paid.

If wasm had a standard runtime everyone used, sure. It doesn't, runtimes are significantly fragmented. Therefore 'wasm is sandboxed' is not true, and in many cases those sandboxes are not at all being audited. It is very dangerous to make broad and demonstrably untrue statements about software security. Wasm is not a sandbox, wasm is a set of instructions. Your quality of sandbox, if at all, is up to what runtime you use. No amount of word play will change that.

I mean it should. That is also a huge anti-competitive action that just isn't pursued by anyone yet: google makes money of scraping and denies scrapers scraping them - that's all sorts of messed up.

The problem is that someone would have to sue google first and no one will do that unless there's big business incentive and big business can already scrape the shit out of google.

This is the weird thing about web-scraping. Big companies can get around protections quite easily - it's the small scripts and average users that get hurt by them.

I'm going to stick my neck out as someone who has refused to even consider Rails over a span of many years, for one simple reason: it permits session fixation. If a client's cookie says "I am session token 'abc123'", it will create that session id out of thin air. As in, it will create that session id without it having had to be generated previously. Your memcached/redis does not have an entry for session 'abc123', but Rails will happily create it.

The developers who allowed this situation to occur should not be permitted to be employed in our industry. Yes, it's that bad and I am that serious. You can, not kidding, set your cookie's value to ANY VALUE YOU WANT, and the codebase is entirely willing to unconditionally create that session with whatever value the attacker chooses.

Hint: if a client sends session id "abc123", then you should check for the existence of that session id. If the key is not set, you either a) show an error page, or b) create a completely new session id, ignoring the client's requested session id. It is NEVER, EVER, EVER... I am saying __NEVER__, __EVER__ acceptable to create a session id based on client-provided data. And yet, this is what Rails does out of the box.

Edit: Downvote me more, I don't care. The fact is that Rails' developers are amateurs. Rails is insecure out of the box. That is a fact.

That is an absurd mischaracterization of the conversation. Guido’s response to the “py28” name was only, “Doesn’t work for me, sorry.” The “lawyers” response was specifically a response to an aggressive, insulting post from another poster. That other poster said that Guido should be disregarded, suggested names that would clearly get lawyers involved if chosen, accused Guido of sabotaging Python 2, and characterized Guido’s naming objections as silly. To Guido’s (virtual) face, no less! He was described by the original poster in that thread as hostile, antagonizing, and rude. Any reasonable reading of that single sentence post from Guido is of his giving up – throwing up his hands and saying the equivalent of “Well, whatever, then.”

I'm currently working with it for a project atm, I can not recommend it, it's ORM is pretty bad, cutting corners wherever possible, but the worst thing about it is its documentation it is badly redacted and relies a lot on examples rather than laying out the possibilities of what you can do with a certain part of sails, issues also go unattended for a long while and there's not much of a community surrounding it.

Just my two cents, I would be happy to hear some success stories from it though.
Some Data on Vitalik’s ETH
If you think that’s true, you haven’t supported enough legacy C code. Yes, the core language hasn’t changed much - like Python - but the includes, libraries, operating system APIs, etc. have - and that’s before you learn how vague compatibility was for code written before sometime in the 90s. Similarly, I’ve seen large Java projects take years to upgrade while comparability issues are sorted out.

In all cases, the real problem is technical debt management: rather than attacking people who gave you something for free, ask whether it’s possible that the experience has more to do with procrastinating on upgrades until many large changes have to be made at once with inadequate test automation.

>So apparently it had A/C in bedrooms but not other areas. Host suggested leaving doors open and having a fan redirect air from bedroom to living area. Looks like guests were looking to work while on a trip, so wanted and expected A/C throughout.

But was the listing for the whole house, or a bedroom?
The fact is, the difference in the that third being natural or flat is the single only difference between a major and minor key. That's a huge difference. Wouldn't it make sense to just say Major or Minor Third instead of introducing this rather severe ambiguity?

The numbers (cents) are irrelevant because people don't listen to sounds in a way that makes them cognizant of those divisions. And the numerically small differences are huge in musical context. It's why Eastern musicians find Western music to be robotic and perpetually out of tune, and why Westerners find Eastern music to sound almost enigmatic. Small differences, amounting to a huge difference in meaning.

Saying "3 white keys" is pretty vague, versus getting right to the point and saying "a major third" or "a minor third."

They are both 3 white keys, and they are NOT the same distance. Sonically they sound happy and sad - they are not alike. That tiny number difference is a huge sonic difference. And "3 white keys" definitely is less clear than "major third" or "minor third" since that's actually what we're talking about here.

The fact that you had to say "most likely" strongly suggests that simply saying "major" or "minor" third would have been the right course of action here, because even you admit to not knowing which one it is.

Or they could have said "2 whole steps" which explicitly points out that it's the further distance (not being one and a half steps, and all). So many ways to not be cryptic about this.

To be fair to the host, it's not their fault that the app didn't have the ability to track which rooms did or didn't have air conditioning. On hearing their problem the host also offered a reasonable solution to help them work in their apartment (something the apartment is not supposed to be used for).

> I can see both sides. On the one hand it did have A/C just

> not central A/C. On the other hand it was (they claim

It wasn't the host's fault that they wanted to work in the apartment, neither was it their fault it was so hot. I've stayed in many places all over the world and half the time you're lucky if the AC works at all.

> It’s kinda borderline. What would judge Judy decide? Split

It would probably go through remediation, but if it went further it would just get kicked out. The most questionable part is their cancellation policy, not the AC description.
Google only scrapes sites that allow it by their robots.txt file so I don’t think their policy is as hypocritical as you are making it sound.
I guess it depends on your value of wealth. I'd pin it somewhere around the "never needing to work again" level. Sounds like your definition is quite a bit higher.

Google respects robots.txt, so it might be hard to prove that they are accessing websites without their implied consent.

Also, their own robots.txt contains "Disallow: /search". So, there is arguably no inconsistency, either.

But, what does this new ruling mean for robots.txt?
