This seems counter-productive. Housing costs are up because of AirBnB. I’m not thrilled, but that’s the market. The market needs to reprice. Folks who bet on the market would get rich if the bet paid off. Let them sell their places, and someone else can rent them out in the future.

Call me callous but I don’t feel the need to bail out someone who charged me $500/night on a place with a $3000 monthly payment. I entered the transaction freely, and the transaction is over.
Do you know if EKS will ever be supported?
AI Dungeon: Dragon Model Upgrade
I'm curious about the priorization of this feature. In my personal experience (7 slack groups), the majority of the channels use threads. It's a very important feature to avoid drowning people in a stream of messages irrelevant to them.

I may be mistaken, but it doesn't look hard to add it to the UI if the back already supports it. Is the feature planned for a precise date ? Does the Element team lack money ? Can we pay for this feature, instead of paying Slack e.g. 30 000€/year ? Is the lack of developers the problem ?

“In principle, removing a ton of CO2 needs to be cheaper than the cost of adding a ton of CO2 (in Germany, currently around 10€/ton, I believe).”

I think it’s around $25 or €25 at the moment (neither https://ember-climate.org/carbon-price-viewer/ nor https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/co2-european... are clear about the currency)

The EU emission trading system (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Emission_Tradin...), isn’t perfect, but it is having some effect, and restrictions are getting tightened over time.
I really don't understand the down votes :) yes I've been working on python applications and live patching code for emergency, our app was deployed and running on 64 different machines. I'm not talking about coding in production or whatever, of course once the workaround is done on production a proper solution is implemented and deployed.

why restarting ? when you can reload the new code of the app while it's running ? no service interruption worked for us for years ! but yeah, I agree, better having 4 eyes while patching on prod :)

Would love to hear a take on this from a game programmer. They might be a bit more specialized these days, but I'm sure in the late 90's, earl 2000's if you were working on a game, or game engine (and their tools) you used numerous algorithms.

All I'm seeing in this article is a few people trying to get that dopamine rush of engagement by dunking on "landlords" (not that all AirBnB hosts are landlords, some are just folks renting an extra room out), and sfgate happily obliging them.
Unfortunately almost no human nutrition studies meet evidence-based medicine standards. And in fairness to the scientists, the constraints imposed by funding and ethics make it impossible to do really meaningful research. All we get are observational studies which show some correlation, often mixed up with multiple uncontrolled confounding factors.

So if you want to try a different diet like extreme low carb or whatever then go ahead. Maybe it will work for you, maybe it won't. In the worst case it probably won't kill you.

I think we need to ask ourselves why some of those things are the case.

Why are the same jobs requiring higher levels of education now than they did in the past? If you've worked these jobs you know they don't require anything past a highschool education.

Why is housing seen as something that must constantly increase in value? It doesn't, we've been through housing bubbles but people still cling to this belief and continue to pump air into the bubbles with speculation based on it. If you've owned a home you know that it is a constant sink for money just to maintain its existing state let alone what it costs to upgrade it to modern standards as it ages.

What is driving people away from the sectors you mentioned? Is it only lack of pay? Why are we not funding these sectors when they are so essential to the functioning of our society? Where is the existing funding going, specifically whose pockets does it wind up in?

Why don't employers offer higher wages? Are they really being greedy or are their profits going to something else like rent or other business costs?

I don't think this is entirely to be laid at the feet of the richest members of society. Yes they protect their own interests but all of us are responsible for ensuring that our communities continue to function and improve. We've neglected that responsibility, we've all collectively failed. We all have to work together to fix this, blaming one group or the other will solve nothing.
My rent has doubled in the past four years, largely because or AirBnB's "oh this is just regular housing with a spare rented room", so I have zero sympathy for them.
It wasn't paid in the US. The purpose of the scheme that Apple (and other companies) were using was to protect profits from US taxes.

They are also for the hard to market, varied diet but largely fruit and vegetables, moderate exercise, little or no alcohol, and regular checkups.

I'm failing to some degree on these, I admit.
I was baffled by this too. Maybe in the initial testing people saw this and this question came up? Probably very few people overall know how this stuff works.
There's some truth in that, but there's more to it. Successful tech companies build good tech that is often worth adopting:

- the companies' successes are often predicated on strong ability to develop technologies

- good (well-maintained) technology requires resources and the successful tech companies have those resources.
The ruling is here:

Exactly. This is not Apples fault though, since they are not responsible for tax laws.

The EU could have been a vehicle to solve that problem together, but since then I lost my believe it could enact change. Ireland has probably interest in large cooperation staying in Dublin and it might really be in the interest of Irish citizens too...

Still, the current situation is just a grave case of injustice.
It might be the largest employer in all of Ireland, while still only paying a small fraction of the taxes their workers pay
Is there any research on what the ideal co2 level is? I’m on the climate change team of course but is there a risk we overshoot and bring co2 too low? I’d just say we should know what we’re aiming for.

I guess plants like some amount of extra co2 so we’d think about that. Should we also have some kind of buffer between a future ice age?

Don’t get me wrong, I think bring the co2 level close to zero is a viable argument too.
Here's what big tech companies don't pay their fair share of:

* defence

* education

* infrastructure

* health

* etc

But our political systems are so corrupt there's nothing can be done about it because they just line the pockets of the political parties who in turn make sure they never have to pay their fair share.
Bonuses and performance evaluations
It definitely favored verbal skills, I am assuming that was a feature not a bug in the hiring process. The questions were not a project but a conversation in the context of my experience With a specific tech stack such as... “How do you keep a server from getting hacked”, “how do you handle conflicting dependencies”, “how do you know your code is ready to deploy to production”

I love how we're starting to focus on our diets to prevent or cure a huge amount of diseases. You don't need drugs, expensive treatments, nothing, only a good diet. (read the comments below for an clarification for this statement)

I personally can't work on a very low carb diet. Now I'm eating carbs again but NOT refined carbs. I make sure everything I eat is nutrient dense. Well, not everything, I'm not a robot but I always try to eat stuff with a low glycemic index.

And I eat everything in a span of 8 hours. The rest of the day I only drink water.

Y recommend listening to Dr. Rhonda Patrick. She can explain all this way better than me. She's been on the Joe Rogan podcast (she talks about this in her first time there) and she also has a podcast and a lot of very interesting videos.

That has to come from two sides though. The people in this sketch are clearly not interested in listening to what the expert says either.

If you are claiming that the comment is deceptive, you should point out why we should regard it as such.

My objection to this statement is that it is one side of a deeply inconsistent, two-faced message from Tesla. Specifically, the two faces are "it can drive itself - the driver is only there for legal reasons" and "the driver must be attentive and ready to respond to any errors immediately, and is responsible for whatever happens if he does not respond in time."

The law is the law and often times it’s an ass. Disgraceful verdict? No. You just disagree with it. What matters is the laws and regulations are applied in a correct manner. So, was the initial investigation inept? Possibly.

What this does highlight is that the law as it exists is arguably not fit for purpose, which is what many have been saying for a while, and that a reform of tax law across the EU is necessary.
Afaict, this does apply to all online platforms.

From the definitions:

(2) ‘online intermediation services’ means services which meet all of the following requirements:

(a) they constitute information society services within the meaning of point (b) of Article 1(1) of Directive (EU) 2015/1535 of the European Parliament and of the Council (12);

(b) they allow business users to offer goods or services to consumers, with a view to facilitating the initiating of direct transactions between those business users and consumers, irrespective of where those transactions are ultimately concluded;

(c) they are provided to business users on the basis of contractual relationships between the provider of those services and business users which offer goods or services to consumers;

IANAL, of course.

In ECS land, a single vCPU is described as 1024 "CPU units" that can then be distributed more granularly. This would allow you, for example, to evenly distribute a single CPU across 4 processes.

At a high level, Mist is a more "general purpose" platform which supports more providers (20) and more workflows. This increases the perceptual complexity, however it isn't more complicated to use than your average public cloud console. In fact, we strive to keep things as simple and as agnostic as possible. I'd be happy to arrange a demo if you like to see it in action. You can reach us on Github or from our website at https://mist.io.
After seeing one of the earlier viral videos and a blog-article or two, my S.O. and I scraped together enough money to buy a pair of the Enchroma glasses for an older relative a couple years ago (it was somewhere close to $800 if I recall right, I got another relative to chip in but it was still tough for us to afford)-- the reaction was underwhelming to say the least. We've never spoken of it since.

I would caution people not to expect anything. Unless the high price of these things is pocket change for you, don't do it. Maybe find a way to demo them, or assume up front that you may end up needing to ask for a refund.
Scripts which generate the config also have their own problems. Check out Dhall, it attempts to solve this.
Airbnbs are, by definition, short term rentals that don’t follow the rules imposed on the hotel industry, so how are they not landlords? Apparently one third of their hosts own 25 or more units, which I imagine is quite a bit more than the average small-time landlord.
The reason why capital income is not subject to social isurance taxes is because it is fundamentally an insurance scheme. People who earn mostly wages need social insurance in retirement (when they would not be physically able to work), so they (have to) pay it, while people who earn mostly capital income do not need it (as capital income does not depend on personal health / fitness to work).

Therefore extending social insurance taxes to capital income without extending pension payments to capital earners would be unfair. Local politicians tried something similar - remove caps on social insurance, while keeping pensions capped / strongly sublinear, and it was struck down by constitutional court.

Perhaps reasonable solution would be to split pensions to tax-based UBI, and smaller contribution based 'linear' pensions.
This article is not about the correlation of individual happiness and having children, but about a demographic change and issues it might bring in the future. In hundred years we may have a population where 80+ year olds are twice as many as 20 year olds. What will be the health of such a population? Who will take care of the elderly? What will be the economic prospects or innovation on which the today's society relies? Some very legitimate questions, and here I read about advantages/disadvantages of having children from a personal perspective. Just annoying that many people are unable to think about anything beyond their current immediate environment.

Our bodies are primate bodies. Primates are frugavorian omnivores (get most calories from fruit, and eat very little animal tissue (mostly insects)). Fruit contain mostly carbs: short carbs a.k.a. sugars. We're optimized for eating lots of sugar.

Primates have a hard time producing fat from carbs (a process called lipogenesis), just a few calorie% per day. This, combined with the tiny bits of fat in fruits/insects, we may store as fat tissue.

Here comes ketosis: when we cannot find adequate food supply (starve) we can live off our fat storage, this is what ketosis is for (biologically/evolutionary). It's our starvation mode.

Primates are not made to be in ketosis for long times. We're also not made to eat high fat and/or high protein diets. We're made for a high fruit diet.

Is long term ketosis bad? I believe so, but we still need to do research on this. Many people are trying it on themselves lately, so we will soon know.

Is short term keto dieting bad? Nope. And it may help you to burn that body fat fast. I'd prefer to get into keto by mimicking starvation, a.k.a. (intermittent) fasting, and not by eating lots of fat/protein.

Is eating lots of animal products bad for you? Yes. It's been shown again and again in large studies that humans do better on predominantly whole plant foods.

>Transfer pricing and tax havens are draining money out of the economies of most European countries, breaking the virtuous cycle where consumer spending also leads to salaries, taxes and more investment in the community, to keep the economy going - instead we have a shrinking middle class, as the fuel is drained from the engine.

An alternative interpretation is that the high degree of taxes and regulations in Europe is preventing the growth of new companies there, resulting in fewer jobs, opportunities and investments. If Apple was a European company Europe would be getting a lot more taxes from it. 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).
I was never really aware of these products before, and I’m very interested! So I browsed over to the main site, found the pricing page and got this.

I've been in AirBnB hosts where the landlady would make deserts for us and all kinds of stuff, just because she was nice and bored. We enjoyed it very much and I would tip her via AirBnb - she didn't want cash, except once - pre-agreed for multi course meal where she fed a group of 4, and it was pretty much just for the resources.

There was a guy in SF that took me around shown me the city, etc... I enjoyed this too and would tip him.

I have more examples of that.

Not disagreeing with you except about the cleaning fee. Hotels usually clean every room every day and have an on-site cleaning staff. The marginal cost to clean one room is pretty low, and it happens every day while you’re there, so it’s baked into the price. On Airbnb, typically your place is cleaned once after you leave whether you stayed one night or two weeks, and it’s more expensive than just cleaning a hotel room, so it’s a separate charge, as it should be.
