When you searched Airbnb for prices they wouldn't include cleaning or additional services. For my first few years using Airbnb, this wasn't a problem, but then folks began hacking the search algorithm and charging huge cleaning fees to get included in more searches. You'd select a place for $500 and find it was $700 when checking out. I started going back to hotels cause they were cheaper than Airbnb.
> A shrinking, aging population would fix this problem. The demand for labor will go up, the supply will go down. Bad for the investor class looking for profits, good for reducing economic inequality. People will be able to profit from labor again.

Growing populations can also reduce wealth inequality and lessen the importance of inherited wealth. These are complicated issues, to be sure.
That is such a good idea that I missed it for being so simple.
(Apologies to people on mobile for the following...)

One of the things I miss about Usenet was that
nearly everyone read it with a fixed with font
so that if you choose your phrasing well so as
to make your text come out naturally perfectly
justified, it would come out that way for them
too.

English has so many synonyms and near-synonyms
for every word, and so much flexibility in the
ordering of words that you can write like this
in near real time.

You get to the end of a line, find that you're
just a little long or short, and you backtrack
just a couple words or so most of the time and
you can usually find a way that works. In this
paragraph, for instance, I was one too long in
the first line, but contracting "you are" down
to "you're" fixed it. I was short in that last
sentence, but inserting "down" fixed it.

Perfect justification by inserting extra space
is for amateurs.

Now we've got all fancy and use variable width
fonts and automatic wrapping and posting isn't
quite as fun anymore.

Give it a try. Use an editor with a fixed font
to compose your next post and try to get it to
come out perfectly justified without having to
insert extra spaces. When you paste it into HN
that will get lost, but the composing can be a
fun little English puzzle.
Their previous lineup did also include ultraportable AMD devices like the X390 though. Or is there something inherently harder about AMD designs?
During debugging, yea?
> In spite of Europe's larger population, in the past few decades it has produced way fewer new Fortune 500 companies than the US (and now also fewer than China).

The situation is far more dire in the EU than even that would suggest.

Spain and Italy (#3 and #4 largest economies in the EU) will spend the next 20 years just trying to get back to where they were in 2007, and will have lost a minimum of 30 years to net economic stagnation. That's the good scenario.

Prior to the virus, France had seen zero net economic growth for 12 years. That's despite adding three million people to their population, which means the pie is shrinking for each French person.

Germany had seen zero net economic growth for 11-12 years. With the virus hit they'll probably go a net 20 years with zero GDP per capita expansion.

The same scenario is playing out across most of the EU's members. There's no growth to be found anywhere outside of the Baltics and Ireland (11m population combined), while social system costs continue to climb and demographics continue to age. You can see this erosion effect playing out for example in the collapse of EU spending on infrastructure (which has fallen below the US level as a share of GDP).
I'm glad to see a resurgence of 16:10 screens. I'm waiting to see bezels shrink to the point I'll have a nearly 15" 16:10 screen in a 14" laptop body, not to have a number pad.
While I don't have the data to support it, I would imagine the chance of success raising a child versus the chance of a success with a startup are in favor of the former.
>What are the benefits of a fortune 500? Who are the beneficiaries? The main ones would be investors and management, including a subset of employees.

Workers are also a pretty big beneficiary: look how well workers at recent Fortune 500 entries like FAANG are paid. Even after accounting for subsidised health and education benefits the average European developer is still lucky to earn even half of what the average US developer does. Sure it's noble for Europeans to want more equality but I don't think policies that reduce salaries are a good way to do that; better to lift the worse-off up than pull the better-off down.
Additionally, one of the most tasty facts about it is that the Common Lisp condition system is written in Common Lisp itself. It's literally a Lisp plugin that only needs to be integrated with the rest of the system at its end points: where the conditions are signaled and where the debugger is entered.
There is almost nothing that SWF can do that AWS Step Functions don't do better by a large margin.

> Using SWF turned out to be a lot more complicated than I expected. Having to parse all to events to figure out which activity goes next, seems error prone and makes the code confusing. The documentation is also not very clear on how this should be done, so hopefully this example helps people interested.

That's the only point in this article you need to know. SWF was a great stepping stone towards something better, but wow I wouldn't dare build anything new on it today.
It fails the two syllable rule. All the best companies/bands/groups have two syllable names. If by chance a company succeeds without the two syllable name, a two syllable pseudonym will materialize.

Actually housing costs are up not because of AirBnb but poor regulation of AirBnb's. Hosts in NYC, where I live, are required to live on premises while their spare room(s) are rented out. They are not allowed to buy other properties.

That should be a universal regulation in all cities that AirBnb operates and that would help to fix the higher housing costs from AirBnb.
Yes, all that without leaving the debugger. The debugger is left only when we want to continue execution of the program.
I feel like you want us to answer the name of the most popular of the four messaging apps in the list, but telegram is the one named after a way of communicating.

It isn't just property but also jobs and industries. Look at the vastly disproportionate amount of tears for coal miners. That feeling seems to apply to any way to make a living that they react hostility to being told is risky. Because everything is an investment and everything is a risk including not taking one.

I suspect it has to do with Calvinism essentially and the religious fixation of work as righteous and a guarantee such that anything going wrong is "bad things happening to good people" and a fundamental sign that things Aren't Right and Someone is to blame.
100% this. Buying and renting a property (even just one) is a business venture. It is no more guaranteed to make you a profit than, say, opening a restaurant or starting your own plumbing business. Yet one frequently hears landlords talking as if something must obviously be wrong with the system if they are not making a profit.
Yeah exactly. Either they have been incredibly naive by thinking this would be seen as a purely positive gesture, or there is some business angle that we're not seeing.
Incidentally, that's why I'm not interested in playing any games using a streaming service like OnLive, Google Stadia, etc.

Ever since PCs have had DVI and consoles have had HDMI, gaming has been pristine lossless imagery. Go to IP video streaming and have compression artefacts taking a dump on every single frame? No thanks!
Lucky for you, hotels don’t clean every day anymore because of covid. They didn’t drop prices though. In fact Marriott added a new covid cleaning fee!

Some places will clean every 4 days, some won’t clean at all during your stay. I suspect this may be the new normal, even post-covid.
No, it is not reasonable to assume that people, who are fine at speaking English, are using an English keyboard layout. I am using a German keyboard layout, as I want to be able to use my native language, and that is not possible with an English layout. However, as I am a touch-typist, I cannot switch keyboard layouts frequently, so I have to go with the German one.
If a landlord is too poor to run a proper AirBnB they should go out of business, not be donated to. Let them get bent, maybe I’ll buy up their foreclosed rental for cheap and rent it out to them.
I read that the X1 was developed with Intel, and thus they can't use AMD CPUs in that lineup. I don't know if it's true or not. It was a random reddit comment.

Doesn't [ ] have similar problems? Suppose I write:

Is that a read of array a with index x followed by a function invocation with the parameter z.

Where it could also be a type conversion of z into generic type a of x.
What exactly does the PRC have to do with democracy?
I remember him being present in the github issue tracker before they moved to bugs.python.org. His presence was next to useless when people were reporting problems about the async library. What went on was like; he made comments on his suspicions, someone who actually knows what's going on made a pull request without even commenting on his ramblings. Again and again for years. Now he's looking for validation hacking the parser.
This makes assumption that not paying taxes is immoral as murder is.
Among 139 client exposed to the two infected stylists only 67 volunteered for testing.

A) What if they were asymptomatic carriers?
B) What about false-negatives? PCR testing work only after symptoms starts developing?
C) Isn't this a rather small "sample" space to establish Universal Face Covering Policy? In this regard it'd be nice to have a countrywide comparison of infections ie. countries that required masking vs.that didn't.
I'm completely non-religious but your comment reminds me of a fun Christian parable I heard when I was young. A person is warned of a flood, and then when it comes various people try to rescue them from an increasingly desparate situation, culminating in a rescue helicopter while they're sitting on the roof of their entirely submerged house, but they tell each one "no thanks, God will rescue me". They eventually drown, and when they get to meet God they ask him "why didn't you rescue me?" to which he replies "I sent people to warn you, rescue you and even sent a friggin' helicopter - what more did you expect?"

If you believe in karma then you should surely expect people to play a part in it. Or are we supposed to hope that rocks are more likely to fall, by chance, onto the heads of evil people?
The main thing I liked about SWF was that the entire workflow was represented in my own code. We ended up cloning the parts of SWF we used when we had to deploy outside AWS. The decider/actor pattern is a great pattern and I'd definitely use it again.

However, as you say, the 'Simple' part is definitely a misnomer.
> Not disagreeing with you except about the cleaning fee.

Having different fees is fine. What is troublesome is that AirBNB doesn't immediately show the total price (including all surcharges). I think recently they finally were forced to do that in the EU (before that I used a browser addon). That the initial price includes all the additional surcharges has been mandatory for quite a while due to companies using this to trick customers (e.g. advertising 200 EUR for renting 1 week; practically you need to pay 700 EUR).

Note that various companies still try to skirt that bit (surcharges only shown at a later stage). E.g. mandatory "booking fees" and so on.

What does that change for the hotel at the end of the day? Cleaning a room that's been dirty for a week is the same (if not more) effort than cleaning it every day, considering they can't just hire staff for one day of the week.
The brain doesn’t only run on glucose it certainly runs on ketones and ketones are much more efficient at crossing the blood brain barrier. Now when the brain is running off ketones it still needs some glucose, but the body accounts for that by being able to produce its own glucose and doesn’t need it from outside sources like carbs or sugar).

Ketosis is the default energy System, in that all things being equal when a person doesn’t introduce any food they naturally go into ketosis. People literally need to eat certain foods that spike insulin to get “kicked out” of ketosis.
This is a good point, and Aito's inference engine has lot of similarities with search engines. As an interesting, we can provide TF-IDF scored full text search functionality from the same indexes we are also using for inferences.

Still, while there are tons of similarities, I feel that the inferences engines are fundamentally different from search engines. The data structures are different, and I can see them diverging even more in the future. The algorithms and modes of operations are very different, even if there is some overlap.

From the user point of view, there is still a striking similarity between Aito and ElasticSearch. Both act now as auxiliary databases (all thought we would like to make Aito fully ACID with an SQL interface in future) and provide more search engine / inference engine-like functionality than full database functionality.
That’s why we are obsessed with anti-aging, to avoid being seen as elderly, to avoid being treated as one.
No, it is not reasonable. While, as you can see, I am fine using English, I have to use a German keyboard layout because otherwise I would lose the ability to type my native language.
That is a clever choice.

A wise choice would be simply adding double underscores between the identifiers.
Writing Something You Yourself Need
To me it all boils down to demand and offer. If they had to get 3 people, and there were just 10 of them all over the world, they suddenly wouldn't give a damn about the applicant being super excited, mildly excited or boringly unexcited.
Tbh, the topic of having kids is probably the least likely to involve reason anyway, other than for those who enjoy economic modelling.

Having kids is probably the most emotionally-directed impulse we have, given its DNA-rooted origin.
There are countries that benefit from it, and they can veto.

However, the reality is... realpolitik still exists. If Germany and France decide things should really change, what negotiating power do you think the Netherlands or Luxembourg or Ireland really have?

For example the Dutch economy is basically hitched to the German one, Germany can find a lot of creative ways to inflict a lot of pain on the Netherlands if it really wants to ;-)
One thing many overlook with low carb is that you can still enjoy your favorites sauces and similar, you will be amazed how far a tablespoon of one will go. This can apply to mixing in what otherwise are considered carb no nos like bread crumbs. A little goes a long way and the carb impact can be minimized if the base is large.

Plus there is so much variety in the produce department that fits the diet that many overlook. Low carb/keto does not mean having to eat what is on their list but looking on the lists for items you have never tried to see new opportunities.
It's not my use case but I know developers commuting with 13" laptops (weight and size) and connecting them to a large monitor in their office and working with VMs and containers. 16 GB is the minimum, 32 GB is the best option.
That is an interesting idea, but (1) assumes the user added my support account as a contact and (2) might create a phishing vector.
Perhaps, but that's not really relevant since the vast majority of people do not live in well functioning democracies.

Your post sounds like an assumption like "the people who live in war are a small minority so their position is an exception compared to humanity in general" when actually it's the opposite, the people who live in the well functioning first world democracies are a small minority so their position is an exception compared to humanity in general.
Because normal people don’t care about open source and slack is cheap enough.
I've stayed in a few hotels that gave drink coupons or other perks for skipping cleaning during your stay. I greatly prefer that as well.
What I say to my non-Greek friends is that Athens is a really beautiful city, because it is really ugly. I have yet to meet a person living in Athens that likes these buildings for any other reasons than that you've grew up in them.

In fact, the houses made in what Greeks call "neo-classical" style are considered to be a major improvement. This is the style you can find in the area of Plaka, Metz etc.
I have somewhat of a 'not in my backyard' opinion of Airbnb. I have admittedly used the service multiple times, but since I moved into a new house I've changed my view on the business model.

Our neighbour Airbnbs multiple rooms in his house full time. He barely has parking for 3 cars, 2 cars if you don't want to be boxed in. However he rents out room for 6 people. He constantly has business moving through his house, occasionally his guests encroach on our driveway which is adjacent to his.

The city has not been able to catch up with the modern world and has no policy or licensing for Airbnb style businesses.

The pandemic has had zero impact on his ability to rent out rooms, it's always full.

TLDNR: I wish I had a neighbour and not a business next to me in a residentially zoned street.

Fahim Saleh: Pathao and Gokada Entrepreneur Found Dead in New York
I am so glad that there's been a 16:9 backlash. It makes no sense on smaller screens the you have to work from. It's ok for phones, since you need to hold them in your hand in portrait so some narrowness makes sense, and for smaller tablets that are designed just for watching video. But I love that iPads are still (mostly) 4:3, and 16:10 is an ok balance for laptops and desktop monitors (though I'd probably prefer 4:3 there as well).
It's the same model than redhat, you buy a subscription, and the software checks if you have a valid subscription. Nothing is stopping you from modifying the source to remove that check, re-build and re-distribute for free (or for a fee) under another name. This allows community-driven projects like Centos or Fedora to exist. It's an ambitious business model, which doesn't prevent other to compete. The bet is companies that rely on the service will want to pay and will prefer getting professional services / hosting from the original maintainers.
Or worse, you fudge a YAML line and bring the application down.

There are tools to catch and prevent that sort of thing: Datree, AWS CloudFormation templates, and Sentinel, just to name a few. They apply and enforce different policies to prevent YAML/JSON (or “infrastructure as code”) misconfigurations.

(Disclaimer: I work with Datree, but not the others.)

Even in the environment of evolutionary adaptedness, prolonged fasting is not the default. If you're going to argue that metabolism under abnormal conditions defines the primary energy system, alcohol must be the primary energy system. It's used at higher priority than either carbs or fats.
Living in Denmark and having worked for the tax system (SKAT) here I am glad that this ruling was overturned. I believe that Margrethe Vestager should clean up the tax system here in her home country of Denmark before trying to clean up the tax system in Ireland. The tax system here is slow, corrupt, beaurocratic, and prosecutes the weak and vunerable, while letting people who are famous, or people who owe billions that are hard to prosecute off the hook.
What is an IC?

> isn't giving presentations to explain your ideas - sometimes to people you don't really know - actually a significant part of the job?

For many engineering positions it is not. There are loads of shops where the developers, even senior developers, mostly just write code. I have hired many of them and put them to work successfully building stuff while I deal with the meetings.

> If I were conducting an interview and discovered that "public" speaking on the order of a few people in a conference room was extremely difficult for you

And yet I worked very successfully as a junior developer for a couple of years before I ever had to attend a meeting like that. Among the other 100 devs in the shop, I was considered a top talent at coding. That's not to brag but to point out that I was adding lots of value to the company without having to attend meetings with people from other departments. My manager did that. My manager did not code, although he could if he wanted to. In fact at that company they created a separate path for highly talented engineers who wanted to continue coding but wanted to avoid management and meetings. That was a couple of decades ago and less common, but I think it's a lot more common now.

And the fact that I can now publicly speak in front of hundreds of people should hopefully encourage you that it's something people can learn if they want to. Some people don't want to. There are roles for them too.
Tangential, but I would recommend considering "What's up?" to be the standard informal/low-register idiomatic greeting in American English. It's like "Ce faci?" in Romanian - indeed you'll sometimes get even native English speakers responding with "Good, and you?"
There are FPGA synthesis tools that recommend 32GB (Depending on the chip you are targeting). If you have to keep jumping between an office desk and an R&D lab then an ultrabook is convenient.

Arguably you can schedule an FPGA synthesis or bitstream generation job on a build server rather than locally but I am just saying this an example of a use-case.
This sounds like very much the same class of problem as "absurd shipping fees on eBay". When the fees are not actually guaranteed to go to the thing they purport to go into, but are just ways of moving money into line items the sorting algorithms don't see, I think it amounts to false advertising.
Although I always appreciate alternatives being given on HN, I don't see how this competes with Passbolt. There's no password sharing between groups of an organization, which is exactly what Passbuilt is built for.

Personal password managers are great unless you want to share a list of passwords in a group within an organization.
Sales and marketing. Also, the cost of Slack is insignificant to most companies and most others start by using the free tier, so the price isn't even a consideration.

And no, what you say absolutely has not been my experience. Any rich formatting tends to get lost or munged, and support for stylesheets / templates between Office and non-Office platforms was woefully lacking.

If you're alone, sure, the free or Free option might be a good choice. But your time has value, so if you're collaborating with other people using true Office, just use Office. You'll be happier.
It’s accurate enough, at least in the beginning.
