I'm not extremely well-versed in this issue, but it seems like investing in Airbnb is completely different than investing in real estate itself. I feel like the comparison is similar to investing in Amazon versus investing in a company that sells its products on Amazon. Betting on real estate means betting on the value of the home/land increasing, while betting on Airbnb means betting on the company + the future of the market of renting homes.

I did some initial research on Airbnb vs. VRBO, and they do seem like very similar companies. However, VRBO started in 1995, while Airbnb started in 2008. VRBO had a head start, and yet has only 2 million listings in comparison to Airbnb's 7 million[0]. The faster growth of Airbnb in comparison to VRBO might be one reason you'd want to invest in Airbnb over VRBO, especially in an America that allows monopolies to thrive under certain conditions.

How do you work on such a small screen? I don't see myself using an ide on that one.
I'm not sure if that "security expert" note is pointed at me (I have not talked about DKIM at all, nor do I consider myself a security expert by any means).

I'm merely pointing out what is in my humble opinion, even when no sensitive data is traveling, the main reason why HTTPS should be everywhere. If you believe there are other easy to deploy and maintain solutions with the same amount of relevant user outreach, then by all means suggest them.

(I could of course point other reasons, like the fact that even if your website has no sensitive data it can still be scraped to build a profile of the visitor by a third party, etc).
People are celebrating a kickass electric bicycle doubling the range of all the existing ones, and you demand to be shown it scaled up to the same power+price budget as an open pit mining truck, hauling dirt in three shifts. It might or might not happen, but the electric bicycle is still impressive.
I had been using a T410 since 2010. I have just upgraded(?) to a P53 because of its greater screen resolution and lighter weight per size due to its SSD.

I feel that the older T410 had a better keyboard overall than the P53. (And was 'nicer to use'.) I'm still not quite convinced it was an upgrade.
Sen Hawley was definitely playing for a setup.
As far as I can tell, Tasks is kind of like a giant kanban board. I know Asana is also basically the commercialized version of Tasks as well. It's kind of weird to see it used as a reference to colluding with Google and Twitter for content moderation. It's like saying, "do you use JIRA or email for colluding?" It makes no sense. He should have simply asked do you coordinate with Twitter and Google for content moderation.

I use some random piece of OSS software or a website and I notice an issue. I feel like I know how to fix it. If I can find their github, I go and offer a PR with a fix. If I can't find their github, or they don't have a github, I move on.

It's not a question of "one wishes to participate in a project, really, truly, wishing to participate" — I don't, it's just how many hoops I need to jump through to submit a 20 LOC patch.

This article is dumb.
An easy challenge that is also very fruitful is “scraping” RSS feeds. A lot of good information is provided by RSS and the challenge could be to aggregate and filter some RSS feeds then generate a new one.
That's fair with the caveat that a lot of people don't really get to choose where they live based on climate and recreational opportunities--at least if they want to get paid at or near peak earnings potential. But I generally agree that, even if opportunities decrease in the Bay Area for tech workers, they'll probably remain decent for the foreseeable future even if they crash down to the level of other "tech" cities.
Should be the reverse - these are pulled into behind the interface so you don't need to deal with them in userspace.

I don't think it has really been proposed anywhere though, unfortunately.
There's a direct parallel you can draw between software licensing and leasing.
I'm not saying we aren't a product of Nature... I'm saying that the defining trait of man that sets us outside of our natural surroundings is our capability to use intellect, empathy, and morality to guide our decisions.

This is not a tool that "Nature" has in its toolbox. Nature has, natural selection. The random smatterings of dice throws that takes place trillions of times per day over the course of billions of years. The equivalent of throwing paint against the wall for a millennia to eventually recreate a Picasso.

This is not how humans work. Our efforts are efficient (at least more so than Nature's efforts), and when honed and optimized can be made into machines of frighteningly impressive efficiency.

There is certainly a difference between the creative and destructive processes of Man vs Nature.
The assertion is that compilation might be faster since there are fewer optimizations, and therefore runtime would be slower.
That's a 1080p display and only $200 difference... still very comparable value propositions IMO.
Agreed. I think the key point here is that the web is a radically different place than it was in 1998 (when Google launched and established the search engine paradigm as we know it). Back then the quality-to-spam ratio was probably much higher, the overall size of the web was certainly much smaller (making scraping the entire thing more tractable), and there were many more self-hosted sources rather than platforms (meaning it was more necessary to rely on inter-linking, and "authoritative domains" weren't as much of a thing). The naive scraping approach was both more crucial and more effective. And in the decades since, it's been a constant war of attrition to keep that model working under more and more adversarial conditions.

So I think that stepping back and re-thinking what a search engine fundamentally is, is a great starting point for disruption.

Additionally, something the OP didn't mention is that ML technologies have progressed dramatically since 1998, and that much of that progress has been done in the open. I can't imagine that not being a force-multiplier for any upstart in this domain.
I really dislike projecting the adult trait of "manipulative" onto a baby. Adults manipulate by being underhanded when they have the option of being straightforward. The baby is being straightforward. What do you want the kid to do to communicate? "I am unhappy and while I could probably soothe myself I would like a parent's attention" -- hard to say all those words when you don't have language. What else can the kid do? Get a pet? drink whiskey? send you a text message? call a therapist?

Crying is a baby's only tool, and babies are certainly allowed to feel emotions like boredom, disgust, annoyance, cold, as well as physical pain. You're also allowed to ignore your bored or upset child. But don't call it manipulation when the kid is being absolutely aboveboard and straightforward. Viewing it as 'manipulation' actually increases the likelihood, in my view, that you'll raise a duplicitous child, because from babyhood on the kid'll be taught that saying directly what you want is frowned upon.

As for sleep training, mentioned by a sibling commenter, our reactions to a baby's cries are definitely directly related to kid's bedtime patterns, and I would advocate for a middle road: there's no need to be rigid about a philosophy. With our kid, we'd wait five minutes for crying to stop. Any kid and any adult can wait out five minutes when it's just bedtime, not a question of physical distress. If the kid was still crying after five minutes, check in; if the kid is asleep, win! The kid knows they're not being abandoned for all eternity; you know you don't have to listen to this (*& forever; and we were lucky that it never took us more than 15 minutes (two checkins) before kid fell asleep. Children are different; YMMV.
Reverse Engineering the Garmin ConnectIQ Virtual Machine
The free market has a tendency to optimize for profit, and fairly often short-term profit. Yes, that necessarily means companies must have customers willing to pay them, and so a certain amount of quality of product & service must be present, but it does not optimize for everyone to own specific product even if everyone wants that product.

Saying the market can solve the problem of healthcare for everyone is a bit like saying it should be able to solve the problem of providing flagship-quality phones for everyone. But in fact, given the "law" of supply & demand, a product like healthcare which is in demand by literally every single person, yet constrained by supply, the solution the market converges on is going to extract the most amount of money it can from however many customers can be served by the available supply.

Supply constraints are also one of the problems I would, given complete faith in market forces, expect the market to solve but it has not done that either. Market forces did not prevent or resolve the dumping of cancer-causing chemicals, or known cancer-causing product like cigarettes to be removed, or any number of other undesirable things whose costs end up being paid by society as a whole rather than a given individual(s) responsible for the problem. When the market fails to solve a problem, some other force needs to intervene.

Maybe a free market purist would say we didn't give it long enough to solve these problems. I don't believe that, but let's say it's true: Saying the market will eventually solve a problem, when human lives or suffering are at risk, is a bit like saying evolution will eventually solve a problem. It may be true, but the timescales involved are sufficiently long to render their eventual solution irrelevant to the people who die or suffer before it materializes.

I don't claim to know the best way to do this, and perhaps my analysis above is incomplete or over-simplified, but the point stands that the market has not solved this problem, and does not show signs of doing so.
One day it just hit me: "I could totally give my life for this child".

It came out of nowhere and it was a chilling and somewhat unnerving feeling. I never felt that for anyone. But the conviction is there, almost like a peaceful resignation: if there is no other solution and that is the only possible alternative then so be it.

Crazy.
I say that some who likes Jetbrains and buys their products:

No one in his right mind loves the UI of Jetbrains Apps and the Linux experience has always been a shitshow unless you were using Gnome or KDE. Because Swing does not implement the XWindows protocol properly. So yeah, a great team can still make a functional app with terrible GUI technology -- but there is a world of a difference to something that's really polished, fast and enjoyable to use.
Does Google search results work for you? If yes, then I'd say the reason is you don't see or agree with how bad results are today (as others have posted extensively about). I for one find DDG as the search engine that returns the worst results. Qwant is a better Bing-using engine IMO but it is still bad.
I believe patent protection on medicine is strong - because it's possible to write strong patents , because those companies have big pockets and because, like you said, regulators(FDA) will in all likelihood won't be happy.
In a NUMA system all the memory is in the same address space even if it's faster for a core to talk to some places than other. Traditionally GPUs work in a completely different address space and doesn't use virtual memory. Yes you can DMA to it but if you DMA a pointer it will break on the other end.
....that shouldn't be happening.
Or used intellij over a Citrix terminal for a bank client, for that matter.
You're being obtuse. The only test you're using is Geekbench, which just isn't useful for these kinds of comparisons.

In other multicore benchmarks, the M1 gets beaten by parts with lower TDPs by AMD, and the 5950X has something like 3 to 4+ times more performance.
Completely agree. Look at this older copyright lawsuit from 2010 about copyright and video games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDY_Industries,_LLC_v._Blizzar....)

The court ruled that players of the game weren't owners, merely license holders. By copying the game to ram, you were bound to the Terms of Use.

Replace game with website there and there is a pretty strong case for downloading, parsing (copying) and storing portions (or all of) said site, then displaying portions at a later date alongside advertisements constitutes a ToS violation, and willful infringement on Googles part.

In a parallel world where yahoo, lycos, etc rules until 2010 and google is getting started, I think they get into a lot of legal trouble.
We could argue this ad infinitum, K8s of course doesn't remove all proprietary elements from a solution but it is a huge step up. Speaking as an ex-Googler, it took over 10 years but I'm so happy the rest of the world finally has a standard like this, the world is a better place for it even though I at one point had to unlearn all my traditional sysadmin habits and immerse myself in an environment practising it successfully to finally understand.

Your original question was what is the point. These are the points. As for why not Docker, k8s network effects and strategy of its sponsors mean Docker is on a lifeline, everyone knows that.

Sure it does — you shuttle humans up to LEO at the current SpaceX Dragon cost, and instead of docking to the ISS they dock to the full-size replica of the Enterprise that an eccentric billionaire 3D printed out of Moon rock and filled with space-grown food, plants, and spandex costumes.

If you're on the fence about this, go find some writing you love and copy paste it into here. I pasted the first chapter of some of my favorite authors' best books into it and each of them got assessed at Grade 3 writing level, even Rothfuss. And it lit up a bunch of clear sentences as hard to read.

What makes a long winding sentence hard to read is the switchbacks and nested bits. You want to keep moving without doubling back.

If you split up clauses, having things modify other things across long distances with other ideas in between, it can get complicated.

vs

It can get complicated if you split up clauses, having things modify other things across long distances with other ideas in between.

Both are flagged by the app, but the latter takes up less working memory and can be "parsed in constant space" as the sentence grows.

Academic writing is littered with this issue.
Ratings are all worthless because they are not anonymous. Nearly every rating is 5-star; anything less makes the reviewer a target for harassment.

AirBnB won because they made a slicker website, advertised more with their VC money, ignored the law, and spammed Craigslist until they built up a larger network.
Just switch to a different provider for your certs. The startup I previously worked for switched from LetsEncrypt to AWS-provided certificates since we were already using their ALBs.
Nonsense. There is no declarative approach in Ansible that's "guaranteed" to work. If Ansible is declarative then so is this Bash script

It's about time we should get off of git to something new by creating a bridge like "git svn" for easier migration that's targeted at more general audiences than hackers of the hackers only.

There's no way kernel devs would want to change the course of git to target different audiences.
It was meant to be as their tool which is a niche and we should've known better.
That's a very deceptive article. It compares the levelized cost of electricity from wind and solar generation (using Lazard's LCOE numbers) against gas production cost from a shale well. You have to pay for the power plant construction, operation, and maintenance in addition to the fuel in order to get electricity from gas. And the well owner has to charge more than bare costs for the fuel in order to stay in business.
I particularly like Chrome profiles. I have a few profiles with their own bookmarks/histories/open tabs/etc. For example, one of my profiles is "Shopping". Another is "Work" and yet another is "Social Media".

Context switching profiles at a macro level - as opposed to intermingling work/shopping/social - is beneficial to me.

When I switch over to "Shopping", I have my tabs on whatever purchase I'm researching open. I can drop the whole project for a few weeks and resume it later right where I left off. None of it can bleed over into my "Work" profile. I like the separation. Helps keep my head clear.
To that point, what are systems supposed to make of UTF-8 strings encoding codepoints in the surrogate pair range? Is that well-defined?

In other words, to what extent are surrogate pairs a UTF-16 thing, rather than a Unicode thing that exists to accommodate for UCS-2 -> UTF-16?

Even then, the Google results are usually terrible. I haven't used Google as a fallback in about a year because every time I tried it they couldn't find what I was looking for either. Or they did something atrocious like changing my search terms for me.
I do not think this is the best smell test for government involvement.

Not being able to afford health care in no way condemns one to being killed. It's obviously not advisable, but plenty of people do just fine without regular doctor checkups because they keep healthy and live balanced lives. And, interestingly, given how many each year die in traffic accidents, it's not such a stretch that being _able_ to afford a car would kill you.

We all have really different reasons for wanting health insurance and owning a car. We have different components, considerations, and properties, which we value about these decisions. Given this, it seems ludicrously complex, inefficient, and cruel to subject all citizens of a nation to the same exact process of obtaining and using health care.

We all know how bad of an idea it is to centralize services, but because some linguistic jokesters have gotten the phrase "healthcare is a human right" to be passed around the globe enough times, people seem to drop context when it comes to this discussion.

As soon as youtube-dl got hit with its recent DMCA takedown request, GitHub obliged and the whole dang HN community lost their collective minds. "Decentralize your git repos" we all saw people writing - and they weren't wrong. But for reasons that continue to escape me during these awful lockdowns we're all facing, people don't seem to think that their government-provided healthcare workers and price negotiators will do anything of the sort.
To me it really sounds like apples to oranges comparison.

Any test should compare same inputs to same outputs.
I think you're being too narrow with your definition of "best". The people in the foothills/Atherton are your VP-level-and-above type wealthy earners. I think the parent's reference to "best earners" includes a lot of non-executive types who make north of $150k a year, which is a lot of people when it comes to tech.

(I don't entirely agree with the parent's premise overall, though I do believe there's some truth to it.)
That is a pretty good point. IOPS may have a hand in this as well. That said the benchmarks on the SSD seem similar.

I've looked at Google Places, Mapbox, Foursquare, and HERE, and I can't figure out which one to use.

People who have used these services, what are your thoughts on them, good or bad? I initially considered Google Places but the price is way too steep ($17 per 1000 searches!!). Currently leaning toward HERE but I haven't heard much about them and don't know if it's a good idea to rely on a relatively under the radar company.

That's not how Mass psychogenic illness works. That's not how people act. And most of all that's not how Twitter is being engineered.
I have strong convictions and I cannot imagine being so concerned about my livelihood that I effectively self-censor.

I guess that's why I've never used my real name.

I do also remember when Twitter wasn't so political. But all that changed when more information became available and people started to realize how serious our issues are. If you have concerns you shouldn't be afraid to speak up because that's how a Democracy works.
I believe it's „this“, actually (U-201E to start, U-201C to end), but the distinction between all those quotation marks is hellishly difficult, and I bet native speakers get it wrong all the time.

Once upon a time, I wanted to rely on these distinctions in a TTS frontend to distinguish between 5" floppy disk and "Mambo No. 5"

I soon realized that people use quotation marks and dashes in such a random manner that insisting on treating the semantics literally would create more confusion than it would resolve.

Edit: Now that my comment has posted, I realized you used the correct characters, but the font on my browser rendered them in a seemingly incorrect way, so they looked like double primes.
Ugly is a matter of opinion of course, but once you start to write it you get a sense of what "looks good" and what "looks bad" and you start to write nice looking Rust if you want to. I can show you some powerful ugly C haha.
I don’t have this problem as I don’t travel much anyway but something I thought was really cool is in Melbourne when people were restricted to 5km of their home there was “burbing” which means to cycle down every street within 5km of your house.

There is also someone who cycled every street in central London and built up a visualisation.

I think something like this would replace the challenge and seeing new things side of things.

If you live in or near a city there is probably plenty of culture and neighbourhoods where everyone is openly speaking a foreign language.

What if you tried learning that language and speak to them? This might get you ready for some fun visiting countries speaking that language after covid. Any you might make some friends and get travel tips.

Visiting random places on Google maps is fun. I saw a really cool rock climber once in the middle of Russia somewhere on a high up perfectly formed boulder.

Also most places have something interesting to explore locally. Have a look on Google maps. Today I found a beach I’ve never been to just 30 min away.
This is a great idea. It's like a modern reboot of the old concept of curated "link lists", maintained by everyone from bloggers to Yahoo. Doing it at a meta level for search-engine domains is a really cool thought.
> It's not clear to me that the new Macs won't allow booting Linux if the Linux community can figure out how to do it.

Mainline Linux support requires a lot of work from vendors. Check out the ARM SoC Linux market for an abundance of examples of this problem. Many of the devices will be forever stuck an old kernel fork and will never run a mainline kernel.
