Personally I’d love to spend some time in Lisbon but as an American I’m pretty sure I (rightly) wouldn’t be allowed in your country. So travel restrictions are probably the issue there
I moved back to Rome from Milan because I knew that without tourism (from US in particular) rents would go down

I'm now in the process of choosing between 2 houses both in the most exclusive part of the city centre, a thing I could only dream of until few months ago, at the same price I was renting an apartment in Milan in an average neighborhood

Most of the listings are former Airbnb places, you can tell when you visit the houses that packing up so many beds to maximize profit didn't pay, that level of service could only be acceptable by youngsters looking for a cheap place to crash during the two nights spent in Rome with friends, but it actually lowered the real value of the apartments a lot, to the point that many of them are corridors with the same number of rooms and bathrooms, but not a living room or a kitchen, hence impossible to live in unless you enjoy suffering.

Unfortunately for them young tourists and cheap flights will not come back for at least a few years

So now their properties are basically worthless

Agencies that were managing the properties have abandoned the business or are selling their licenses (good luck with that!) and owners have to face the choice of renewing and waiting at least next year to start renting again or lower the prices and avoid more losses, but accept a long term contract which binds them for at least 3+2 years

As I said many of them are not worth it even if the rent went down considerably so it's not even easy to rent in this economy, even owning an apartment in a super exclusive neighborhood rented at half the price, also considering that people who can afford it don't pay for shitty places full of sofa-beds and cheap furniture.

all the listings say the same thing "NO AIRBNB, NO HOLIDAY RENTALS, NO AGENCIES" they only want to deal with medium-long term rentals with trusted people after checking their income.

I'm quite sure even after covid airbnb and all the businesses around it won't come back, at least not in Rome, not in the same way, people are fed up with mass tourism and businesses are starting to enjoy working more with locals who actually live in the neighborhood, like it used to be not so long ago, but were forced to leave by the "tourist-pay-double-for-shit" craze.

It happened and until it worked, it worked, but when it stopped it left ruins

I think people have opened their eyes

Airbnb will still be the preferred way to rent a van on a beautiful beach on a Greek island where a couple can spend few romantic nights, but the idea that it was going to improve the fabric of our old cities is dead IMO
I think they're moat is more of a wading pond. They've relied on user interface dark patterns and sleaziness far too much. They're highly political, which has alienated a lot of people who disagree with their politics. People who DO agree are also likely to dislike what Airbnb has done to rents in many places. Basically, a lot of people hate them.

That stickiness goes away when a credible competitor steps in.

I think if an organization like Google were to start listing similar listing on Maps alongside hotels, they'd be done for. If a competitor were to start with listings on several major travel websites (and easy way to do that is by taking them on as investors), that would also overcome any such moat.

I think whether they do okay or not depends more on the credibility of the competition than on any moat.
My answer to that was chromebooks.
Tesla is doing this with their new Tesla insurance product. But at least they won't be sending the data to other insurers, since they want to keep it for their own use.
I'm sorry, and I agree, it wasn't. It was a frustrated post and I'm being down-voted because of it :/
I know exactly why this requirement exists (parts of the OS have entirely different code paths depending on whether a binary is signed or not) but it is still annoying to have to ad-hoc sign everything.
This looks cool - but it would be 100% cooler if it was just a wearable, that I could customize to use with other games - for instance, World of Warcraft, punching to initiate an attack, and different motions to use items, 'click', etc.

I can't imagine using the wearable very much if the game itself isn't compelling - which, from the movie, looks a little wack
"cars to go into airplane mode"

That sounds so funny and ridiculous.
By the same token, even passing a law that implemented an all-population UBI isn't a good test for a UBI, because people might not trust that the government will continue funding it.

Patents Today: A Newsletter about Patents
I've always wanted to write online but never decided to start. Today I finally say screw it and start writing.

I used to read patents because I thought they were interesting but soon learned that patents owned by companies today could very well signal where the future is going (e.g. AR patents for apple products).

I started a newsletter where I discover and simply summarize the coolest patents owned by companies today. I only have 1 post so far (nike's blockchain based sneakers) but I will be writing a lot more!

Let me know what you think and please consider subscribing!

Yeah we're currently limited by Stripe Express, but we'll probably look to expand relatively soon. We've been looking at RazorPay for India or even enabling Stripe Standard accounts across the board. Any particular countries you're looking for?
I'm not sure what the point of that page or posting it here is. This system (and others like it) is neither new nor special. It's also not a bad thing, and I haven't seen anyone come up with a better alternative.

Generally you see all major distribution options have signatures with a CA-type trust structure no matter what you use, be it open-source, free or commercial paid software. On Windows, macOS and at least all Linux distros based on dpkg or rpm you have signatures and circumventing that requires a bunch of steps that will prevent most users from shooting themselves in the foot.
Lifetime odds.

They were projecting 3 million may have died if we did nothing over a matter of months; 100 years worth of auto fatalities..
You're right. My point is more that parents need to work really hard to be involved and turn that boring video class into something productive, interesting, and worthwhile.
That's my exact point. A policy isn't random but created for an effect.

As an examnple: If an HN disclosure leaks passwords and email addresses into the public domain, imposing a policy control is _meant_ to have the effect that such a disclosure would not happen again, or if it does to have a limited scope.
A lot of the analysis and conclusions economists make are based on these kinds of assumptions. That is how they concluded in the past that minimum wage was a bad thing or many of them was against labour unions.

Although Adam Smith grasped this better than many modern economists and was hence a strong supporter of Labour Unions.

Of course Smith had not gotten his brain poisoned by excessive reliance on overly mathematical models of the economy.

Norway. I agree another strict lockdown will be difficult to enforce. We are looking at a second wave more like the US's ongoing first wave. BUT treatment is seriously improved since March. The IFR is now lower. So that lockdown will still have saved many lives even if the second wave saturates the population.
This is just a cash grab from Apple, and part of a series of unethical behaviour by a monopoly (eg app store dictatorship).

This would be totally unnessisary if apps could run in a sandbox. It wouldn't matter if I run some random game I downloaded off the internet if it can't do anything on my computer outside of its own sandbox.

And to the people that say it's not possible, just look at web browsers. Each website runs in a complete sandbox.

For apps that do need to use operating system functions, then you can escalate privellages with user consent. For example, mobile apps, that ask:
"This app wants access to your camera"
I am looking for a remote job but can not find one, i will be highly motivated when I get one. You already have it just think about how lucky you are as a starting point.
To understand the economics of oil you have to think of it as a raw ingredient rather than a fuel source.

Even if you stop burning it (which I think is a terrible idea), you can't live without oil. Antiseptics, rubbing alcohol, paint, aspirin, toothpaste, shoes, pens, bike tires, computers, etc. require it for modern production.

Heck, a standard solar panel plopped on top of your home requires just shy of a full barrel of oil to produce.
There’s quite a few scary stories in the automotive world. It’s quite unsettling.

The GM handling of ignition deaths was upsetting to read about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_ignition_swit...

Ford’s 2000s era people carriers with a penchant for self-immolation due to a wiring harness issue iirc.

More recently the Bosch / VAG diesel gate stories that were in the news.

Off setting that was the John Deere move to block aftermarket servicing because end users can’t be trusted...!
Chromebooks are in a pretty good spot of balancing security with hackability. Apple should take a couple leaves out of their book…
> learned that the warning is just something they need to bypass

Note that I'm not necessarily arguing that training people to click "yes, yes, continue..." is a good idea. Digital security is my day job and I totally see why Apple wants digital signatures for software. However, the message is opaque about what is really going on and just tries to scare people into buying "trusted" software rather than using free software: that developer fee doesn't pay itself.

> perhaps it might be a worthwhile use of my developer ID to provide this service to people I trust

I was thinking the same, we could pool the money, but figured Apple almost certainly prohibits that "for security".
I'm a general contractor. I remodel houses.

A few years ago I worked with an extremely good painter. Second generation professional painter. Very impressive fellow.

Just by working with him my painting skills went up a couple levels. I'm way better than I was.

There was no formal instruction. No teaching. Just working together. Seeing how he does things. Watching him with a brush.

The same thing just recently happened with a drywall guy I worked near. A superpro. I am MUCH better at mudding drywall now. No instruction occurred. Just by working near him.

This is an ancient and well-known phenomenon. Call it psychic communication. Call it mind-melding. Whatever it is, it's real.

And this virtual education is a joke. PAINFULLY bullshit. I advise all students to blow that time-wasting shit right off.
You need to specify a DAG, rather than just write regular code
I am willing to work as the CEO of Walmart for say $750k per year. The fact that I don't work there means that either:

1. Voting Walmart shareholders think that the having Doug McMillon for $24M/year is a better deal than having me for $750k/year

2. Voting Walmart shareholders are unaware that reasonably intelligent people with no executive experience are willing to work for a lot less than McMillon.

3. There are other forces at play; e.g. CEOs as Veblen goods or good-old-fashioned corruption. Maybe the board members are also C level employees (at different companies) and they are colluding to keep the C level compensation high.

#2 seems rather unlikely so pick one of #1 and #3.

#1 Certainly does not contradict my use of intentionally, since they believe that McMillon
It's much, much worse in third world countries. Egyptian here.

Tech illiteracy is rampant, and many people don't know even the basics of using computers. Not only that, but due to poverty, most don't even have computers and just use mobile phones. For many, this was the first time they got to use a PC/Laptop. A large group just used mobile phones, though. Then you have the internet... it's just not usable for live conferencing, so when they tried it, it was awful.. then the classes were recorded, with low quality and resolution to have small filesizes for private schools. Most public schools basically did away with the whole thing and the kids didn't get any classes at all.

On top of all of that, the educational system (regular education, not the higher education) here is already bad in-class.

In the end, they just decided to cancel the exams, and had the students do a pass/fail research paper about a topic. Although most schools basically just made everyone pass.

Universities were differently handled, though. Also, grade 12 was handled regularly (the students already don't attend school) with regular physical exams since it's an important year.
God, ZOOM sucks so hard. I can't stand to look at that shit.
Same here.

Teacher has been recording a daily 7-10 minute lesson video for some of their core subjects.

Then some assignment of online math, science, writing. Then one of the popular reading sites.

The video calls have all been once per week for 30-45 minutes but mostly social for the kids to interact with each other.

Not sure who really expects 5 hours of video.
Maybe the bad news for you: Quic is different, but it's not necessarily a lot easier. A lot of the challenges that are part of implementing HTTP/2 correctly are also present in Quic. You will still have to implement a flow control mechanism for individual Quic streams, apart from the being fair across streams, congestion control and pacing for Quic connections, and being fair across connections on an endpoint.

Getting this all right is also far from an easy task - and resource wise it might never catch up with HTTP/1.1 + TLS due to missing hardware support.

However I feel like at least in some areas the Quic specification became less complex. E.g. the use of absolute flow control offsets instead of relative increments makes things less error prone. And it's nice that now the defaults for the dynamic table are "off", which means one can skip implementing that part without the risk of not being interoperable.
Wait, your contention is that paying poor people more doesn't effect poverty rates, and you are asking other people for citations, not citing something of your own?

You might find this CBO report useful. https://www.cbo.gov/publication/55410
I dont see any problem with this. If you don't feel comfortable doing this then you definitely shouldn't be running random code from the internet. I would take it a step further and force it to be run from the command line.

Also, what kind of "viable software business" has trouble paying $100 a year?
I believe this is bubbling up because apple recently revoked Epic's certificate (sorry if that isn't quite the right term) and these are now the steps required to run Fortnight on Mac.
I am more curious about the technical aspect.

I could not find any android documentation on building wifi nfc tags that are automatically connected to by the system.

Can someone explain how this is working? Hidden apis? A NFC spec, or something else?
In all of my sales I have modified the offering midstream after feedback from investors that jumped through hoops to see how to invest and balked at the numbers. All advisors I've ever had all completely missed the mark about what the market is interested in and what a good deal looks like. And then after modifying its published publicly and that's the only record of what the terms ever were. In the public's mind we never mispriced or raised or lowered based on demand.

Confidential S-1's are perfect for that same result.
> In doubt the rule of thumb is to use HTTP/2 for small requests where the benefit of multiplexing is biggest. And stick to HTTP/1.1 (a non multiplexed TCP connection) for high throughput.

Alas, if you want to upload the browser doesn't let you choose, so you would have to set up another host or port.

This can be put on a T-shirt and used as effective anti-American propaganda.
thank you! I really appreciate the effort you put in to clear up the misinformation
> That requires being clued in enough to recognize the strategic value and focused enough to then make it happen.

Certainly investor confidence in your / your companies ability to do this, and this matching their investment goals is also a factor..

These 2 exaples are wildly hailed in media worldwide as 'innovators', and are able to get long term strategic funding to innovate. Most CEOs aren't, and can't. Not sure the cause, but certainly a factor somehow.
Or you could do what they did on Apollo (forget if it was the CM or LM). They had the problem of measuring how much was in a tank, but the tank was in 0G, so a float is no good. The proposed solution was some sophisticated radiation based thing where they measured the attenuation of some radioactive source through the tank. This wound up being highly complex, and the solution was simply to have a reserve tank. When the main tank ran out, you knew you had exactly the amount in the reserve tank.
“Insane Companies No One Talks About” Episode 2: MGA Entertainment
They sure could and do if labor is limited. If the supply of labor exceeds the demand, you wouldn't need to undercut; you and your competitor would advertise $5/hr and you would both get a worker. In our current world, we don't see chipotle trying to out compete mcdonalds on wages, so clearly for many classes of worker there is an oversupply of labor.

Sometimes even in the real world things do flip, and there is a demand for low skilled labor that isn't being met. I overheard a few restaurant owners talking about the pandemic and their business while I was in line outside the grocery store a month or two ago. They bemoaned how no one wanted to come back to work at the restaurant since they were making more on unemployment. Neither brought up the idea of paying more if they failed to find labor at that price point in the market. Instead, they quipped back and forth about how lazy their staff are behaving after these owners themselves laid them off not too long ago and put them on unemployment in the first place. This anecdote is American capitalism in a nutshell, imo, just pure cognitive dissonance between the realities of the working class and the perceptions from the capital class.
Yes but it is wrong to do so because wages are not set only by the worth a worker is to a company. That is only one side of the equation (demand). The labour market also have a supply side component which is the ability for the company to find labour.
Here is Apple’s calculus:

What fraction of unsigned app openings, across the entire world each and every day, are safe?

If 99% of these events are unsafe, then such an experience seems warranted, given real malware and security threats.

The question is, what is that fraction?

Folks may say I want my computer to be “open” but do you want it open in the same way for your grandad and grandma?
For a lot of applications you start off in a location where you have a high assurance of being able to receive GPS/Galileo signals without interference, allowing you to set your clock accurately at the start of your mission (eg military or aviation).
I generally phrase this as “How is this safer than running a Tor exit node?”. If someone uploads illicit material to Amazon, they have enough lawyers & clout to have the FBI send them a letter demanding client information. If this is a peer-to-peer service, you have a non-zero risk that the SWAT team is going to show up at your home/office and demand you prove that you weren't aware of that content. That's going to deter a LOT of people.
Bad. Users will get more trapped and have less mobility to become computer-savvy.

That, or their "techy friend" will jailbreak it for them, and now we're worse off in every way.
As a reminder, this is the original claim:

> Fairness is not about everyone getting the same amount just for existing, for that in itself is not fair.

I had asked for an explanation of why this should be so. Your example, "being forced to work in the cotton fields for free", is only rhetoric - it does not actually address the question. There are an infinity of circumstances that would involve "everyone getting the same amount just for existing" that do not involve "being forced to work in the cotton fields", "being forced to work", or indeed "being forced (to do anything)".

I find it interesting that in all the replies to my query, none have really been able to provide anything approaching an answer. The closest (in my opinion) is [0] by aeternum, but that boils down to saying that it is unfair if things don't progress as quickly as they could, but doesn't explain why - this in itself seems pretty radical, when made explicit (hopefully I haven't done too much of an injustice in my paraphrasing). These claims are made boldly, but the rationale seems more difficult to tease out.

I honestly suspect the reporter was at least very confused, but the firmware for the BMC on SuperMicro boards has had some serious security vulnerabilities from time to time --- I wonder if that's the base of story, and it got confused from there.
Any open source developer?

Do you know how much $100 is in Iran?
They can do the same for the right-click technique. Omitting a setting does not change the user's understanding of the decision, it just makes this completely undiscoverable and tedious for users who know what they're doing.
Until it becomes an "institution", like Social Security has in present day US.

That could be a generation or longer before knowing the actual effects, and by then (as-with Social Security) it'll be practically too late to make a course correction.

>From an insurer's point of view, they want to find ways to qualify you as an asshole and therefore extract more money from you.

If an insurer starts needlessly penalizing people for minor violations of certain parameters, then another insurer will step up and offer lower premiums. I'm sure there's plenty of smart people at insurance companies that know a single event doesn't make a person more likely to cause a loss.
Friendly reminder: You're paid for how easy it is to replace you, not your output.
Insurance companies have been offering just this deal for years - they will stick a GPS logger into the OBD2 port on your car, and then ask you to let them pull data off it periodically[1].

And you can be guaranteed the car manufacturers aren't going to be selling them data that would let them do statistical analysis on the vehicles.

I think it'll be super anti consumer. All those systems will be used to "prove" the driver is at fault for everything. It'll never be a mechanical malfunction or an infrastructure issue. It'll always be the "bad" driver that causes accidents.
I'm guessing poor kids usually don't have jobs at all.

Only about 40% of poor people 18-64 even have jobs.
macOS ships with a quite strong and granular capability-based security model with its sandboxing mechanism (at least, when it works and is applied correctly). The feature is there, advanced applications already make use of it, but it is difficult to get arbitrary applications to adopt it (its inner workings are declared SPI after all) and it is not really exposed to the user at all except via App Sandbox, which is fairly limiting.
