Italian here. We don't usually have cappuccino after 12pm because cappuccino is a breakfast meal. We do have coffee after 12pm tho. For Italian people, cappuccino toghether with lunch / dinner is a taboo, it's like broccoli ice cream we can say :)
I look at IPOs quite differently than most. For me, I am looking at the fundamental business. For me the usual questions are:

Does the company have a legitimate business advantage that can establish market dominance?

How easy is it to replicate the business?

Consumer trends - Who is using the product - young people vs older?

Revenue: Quarter over quarter increase? or a logical explanation if the rev is not growing.

*Consumer comments: Do people like the company so much that they tell their friend about it?

Based on this, I think AirBnB is a winner all around. The company has developed a platform and a brand loyalty that has basically eliminated most competition in this space. In fact, their competitors are so small that most could not even name them.

From a technology standpoint, it is relatively easy to replicate but the branding and loyalty to AirBnB is unrivaled so this is what creates their moat. First-mover advantage is strong is this sector and it is clear AirBnb has gained the first-mover advantage by a wide margin.

Consumer trends - Young people love it. As these consumers get older, their income will increase and they will book more through AirBnB. The very young will most likely start off using AirBnB and never use hotels directly.

Revenue - Showing consistent growth prior to COVID-19. With COVID-19 apparently on the way to being vaccinated away the "COVID-19 slump" is not a concern for me. I could see vacation spending soaring once COVID-19 fears subsidies with consumers.

Consumer comments - People love AirBnB so much that they tell their friends about it. There are some issues with fraud but my guess is over time, AirBnB will figure out how to snuff these bad hosts out of their platform.
It's also 100% true.

This in particular, it's 200% true.
Technically it is infinite times smaller than k3s or k8s :)
Thank you, glad you liked it :)
Wow, that's a huge difference that people talk about, I didn't know that the 2 mRNA vaccines are so different. Actually it means that the title is wrong!

Somebody asked what happens if somebody uses both vaccines, it's a really interesting question, but I think we won't have enough data.
Airbnb own and operate HotelTonight, which is a foray into hotels. It can (and I think certainly will) get there.

Anecdotally, HotelTonight is my go-to for booking any hotel, any time.
Ah, I see, thank you. Sounds like just manually starting docker-compose stuff will be preferable right now.
I really like the conversion to a representation that's more familiar but I suspect it's also confusing me. Here are the questions that I have to start:

Does 'there-is' evaluate to a boolean (is boolean a thing? is evaluation a thing?)

I was surprised that the axioms don't use there-is but I sense I shouldn't be?

what does '(when 0 (or 0 1))' mean, it's described as 'when 0, then there is either 0 or 1' but I'm not sure what that means? is '(when 0 0)' true and '(when 1 0)' false? Why not use '(when A B)' as equals?

Not a question but in the axioms I assume pairs should be pears and applies should be apples.

How goes 'implies' get introduced by '(when (when q r) (when (or p q) (or p r))'? Also, this introduces a category in the example i.e. fruits but not sure how that happened.

Why do we need to have second '(not (factor? x 3^22 ...))', isn't it sufficient to say that (factor? x 3^21 ...) to establish that the 2nd term is 'there-is'?
The OP is looking for a systemic solution to the problem, somewhat akin to the way establishing a bug bounty program aligns incentives. Your solution is like asking your team to please work harder to not release exploitable bugs.
How can an unprofitable companies rack up $1.3b in taxes?
The average swedish city is a lot smaller than the average city is mostly anywhere else, I do believe this matters.
One of my concerns is what happened with the SARS vaccine (meaning, the original SARS.)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3335060/

The study described findings of antibody-dependent enhancement with the original SARS. I am no expert, but my understanding is that when test subjects were given the vaccine, and then later 'challenged' by the SARS virus, they developed a pathological response. In other words, taking the vaccine had a potential to make their response to SARS and potentially other coronaviruses worse.

The study I linked therefore recommended caution in giving the vaccine to humans.

Obviously this is something that vaccine researchers are aware of (see https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-00789-5), but I think it's something that is perfectly rational to be concerned about given the time and money pressures available with SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.
Interesting, those are all somewhere in the range between elite and thoroughly respectable. There's no random crap schools you've never heard of pumping out oodles of PhDs every year, which is good news at least.
> You can't vote corruption out of office. It has to be rooted out from outside

In other words, if the corruption is not just particular localities, but infects the national government as well, then we're all screwed?
We regularly compare states on all sorts of measures including test scores, income levels, murder rates, etc. despite all these differences. Right now, Sweden is ranked 20th in the world in deaths per million for Covid and dropping.
> He was concerned that the human operators were diverting his customers (specifically, the wife of one of his competitors was an operator).

So like Dominion voting machines diverting votes from Trump to Biden. How apt.
I used to race road bikes and segments were a great way to compete during training rides and the off-season. I haven't raced in years, but it was a lot of fun trying to best your teammates time, or someone you race against.

Now I mostly run and it's far less interesting. I mostly just use it to log my workouts. I love Strava, though, and appreciate the platform they created and opened up for free. I think it's a great product.

It's fine to wish for people to selflessly take on negative sentiment for the betterment of all. It's another thing to expect it. If we want certain behaviors, it's better to build systems that reward them rather than dreaming of a counterfactual that will never exist.
There is a good reason to develop at least one rhinovirus vaccine, though: so we have the expertise to deal with a bad rhinovirus strain if one should arise later. The coronavirus experience - SARS, MERS, and now COVID-19 - seems to suggest that such groundwork on common virus types would be a good idea.
I think this is a fair point, and maybe I was too critical. There's been a trend of "fake it 'til you make it" lately, which I think really appeals to non-engineer types. Engineers have the opposite problem: building too much before anything is validated.
Two more typos:

It already didn't get any "official" updates for years now but there is a community porting latest versions of MacOS to it, that's how I'm running Catalina. Besides, even with the ARM chips coming, it doesn't look like Intel macs will disappear straight away, x86-compatible MacOS will be around for years and years, if no for any other reason than that currently sold Intel macs will still be getting updates. And besides, it's a 2008 machine - if I only get a couple more years out of it then that's still great.
its very amusing to me to see people say "its great it just works!" and in the same breath explain in detail all of the intricacies they had to go through to get basic stuff to work.

i use linux on a desktop every day but cannot even after trying for many years, develop blinders for all of the shitty parts
Maybe professors leave the room during exams. I think a number of universities do this. Outright "adversaries" sounds insane and toxic though. I don't know how an undergrad institution could even function if students and professors were actively trying to undermine each other.
The suddenness is a problem because there isn't enough time to adapt? Implying that we'll adapt to climate change? Watch out for heresy there ;)

But asteroid or comet impacts. Comets in particular can come so fast and undetectably that we won't have time to react. We could prevent a comet impact if a few humans decided to build such a defense system, and we might be wiped out if those few humans decide not to do it. Sounds equivalent to nuclear war.
I'm curious why you think AB&B qualifies as a "tech" company
The fact that they are dumping stock just means that they think the company is overvalued, which I think any sane individual that is looking at the market will infer. They want to sell on the upside.

It doesn't mean that it's a scam. The vaccine may work, they may be profitable, and they may have developed tech and processes that can be used to create other mRNA vaccines on a fast timeline even without all the world aligning to help them. It may also be that the amount of growth priced into the current stock price is just unrealistic even if all of this is true.
Restaurant owner in Italy here: We usually don’t offer pizza at lunchtime because it takes time and wood to fire up the oven and keep it at temperature. Low request volume means it’s not worth it, at least for small pizza places.

If you want pizza for lunch you head to a bakery or “bar” and they have squares (not “slices”) ready for you to pick up.
yes, whenever I speak to my wife. Now I know why ;-)

Thirty years ago, the exams were all take-home.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
An adversarial system is where, for example, exams are proctored because the students are not trusted. It's where students actually brag about cheating to their peers.

At Caltech, I never heard anyone brag about cheating. I know of one student who willingly took an F because he accidentally went over the time limit for the take-home exam, and reported it. Nobody would have known otherwise if he hadn't reported it.
I'd feel silly casually watching fun Youtube videos at any office job where anybody could see my screen. So, most jobs I've had until I worked remotely.

Browsing websites like HN is one thing. Youtube is over the top, like turning on Netflix. "Oh look, Chuck is watching Youtube again."
Again, this stuff spread on Fox and 4chan and 8kun just as well or better than it did on Facebook and Twitter. Advertising models and engagement algorithms aren't the issue.
Relative to a clock on earth, moving at a given speed relative to the speed of light, the supernova happened when it happened.

All that is changing with lensing is that you're seeing the light coming from it earlier looking in one direction than another. Either way, it happened in the past. The order of events is not changing.

It's like saying that a stock trader using a fiber connection figures out about a price movement more quickly than a stock trader using a dial-up connection.

At least, I think that's right; not a physicist.
A fun anecdote about AirBnB in China: 2 years ago I travelled to Beijing and Shanghai and intended to stay in an AirBnB.

AirBnB had tons and tons of listings in both places, all of which had specific instructions to tell the neighbors you were “a friend” and not staying there with AirBnB.

At the time, and possibly still so, AirBnB was not operating legally in those particular places, and I presume most of the country, but it’s such a good booking platform people used it anyways.

Long story short, I doubt China is not going to copy AirBnB, unless they can find a nice revenue share model with AirBnB the platform.

P.s. There is ripe opportunity to make apps that interface China to westerners traveling there. There was literally no way to hook into the QR payment system, get a Didi, navigate, or get good translations just 2 years ago. Good luck to those of you building products to help non Chinese people in China. You’ll do well.

What is a fake subject?
That makes sense when you're dealing with raw audio and need to disentangle it. But here we can work in the other direction to using the structure of the sheet to find the right spot in the mess on the other side.

I'm sure there are further difficulties, just saying that your answer isn't entirely satisfying.
Most people do not live near enough to an ocean to be aware in any real sense of the day to day activities associated with fishing. And even if they do somehow see signs of fishing activity, they almost certainly have very little idea of what day to day life as a fisherman is like.

Again, I repeat that agriculture in our society employs about 1% of the population. Even those who live in rural America (as I do these days) don't pick up farming by osmosis. Most people who live even in rural America do not farm, or work on a farm. They are just not that familiar with this kind of work (which is partly the cause and partly the result of the reality that most farm workers in the US now are migrant labor from latin american countries).

I don't know who else does "summer jobs" anymore if it's not college kids. Maybe ski/surf bums filling in the off months? We can probably count the number of them, and its likely less than a mid-size American city in total.

Sounds like you might want to read "House". Tracey Kidder pulled the same magic in "Soul of a New Machine", the now-classic book about the engineering of an (old) new computer. "House" is an amazingly deep meditation of the design and construction of modern American family home. Or maybe just read "Fine Homebuilding" for a while - not so heavy on the philosophy but hints of it here and there.

I just can't really get it into my head what country you're talking about. I travel all over the USA (just did 4500 miles) and this land in which fishing, farming and carpentry are the jobs that most people do is invisible to me.
I found this kind of intervention positive - this seems an effective way to prevent multiple phishing attempts & misinformation.

Its interesting, because I got the impression that unlike a lot of Federal offices, the Social Security Administration doesn't automatically thing they're right. They are touchy if money is involved, but basic fact correction seems to work fine in person if you bring the basic documents with you.
I will if I get time, which is unlikely. Intel is not a volunteer-run organization nor even a small company so I'm sure they could afford a test-bed containing one of each of their GPUs to test their drivers before release if they cared about this.
If it's Hilton/Hyatt/Marriott/IHG/Choice/Wyndham, you can go to the hotel brand's website, you will get the same room for cheaper if you are part of the free hotel rewards program. You're also more valuable to the hotel since you'll be paying netting the hotel more income than someone coming from HotelTonight (since the hotel doesn't have to pay HotelTonight commission), therefore more eligible for perks or upgrades.

Their question could be confused by others as it's phrased. "my methods" includes both the VPNs I tested, and how I tested them. They correctly observe that I withheld all information about my methods, rather than only the component I intended to.

Someone else who didn't realize that I'd left out the methodology could possibly interpret their question as confused/misplaced/etc. I definitely wondered about that at first, but I took the good faith approach:

k3s recently switched to embedded etcd, so if you want something very lightweight out of the box (yet with HA), try Canonical's microk8s it has dqlite support.
Conveying information is a matter of figuring out what your audience currently understands, and what you want them to understand, and then charting a path from A to B. So the first thing I do is get a feel for where the audience is right now (by asking directly if possible, or making a best guess if not). Then I place myself in their shoes, and work backwards asking myself "why doesn't X makes sense yet?" to figure out which gaps need to be filled in.

To get more concrete: leveraging metaphors and bridging existing knowledge is a powerful explanation tool. If you're trying to explain X, and the audience already has a mental framework for Y which has some things in common with X, it can be much easier for both parties if you bridge from Y to X instead of constructing X from first principles.

Beyond just effectiveness of communication, this approach helps with the "condescension" factor too. One of the main things that makes someone feel stupid or belittled is when you explain something that they already know as if they didn't. So doing the up-front step of getting a good grasp on their starting point helps ensure that you're only telling them things they don't know already.
Sure, you raise very important points. I just found it weird that NYPost was happy just releasing the emails and not the DKIM, and when one was validated, it received literally no coverage. I thought it might catch steam after the election, but the literal silence is surprising to me.

Easiest solution is to force new hosts to provide a "surety bond" to basically be an honest host. Maybe make them pay 10-25k lump-sum in cash. After a certain amount of guests have visited the offering then the money can be returned. If the host is a scammer then the money can be used to reimburse the guests for their troubles.

The risk vs rewards under this system would discourage bad hosts from joining the platform. For new, honest hosts, it would be a minor inconvenience at best.
I feel like what a lot of the gig economy experiment has shown is that we have created too high of a entrance floor for new businesses. A lot of the taxes and expensive regulations are certainly well intentioned, but making them mandatory prevents a lot of people with entrepreneurial drive but low resources from getting into the game. It also creates a higher cost for people who would be glad to get a cheaper option with some risk of discomfort. It's so hard to roll back regulations once they've been put in place, though, that the only way you can create these options is to build entirely new models that skirt the entire structure.
But that's ignoring the main thrust, which is that mathematicians compute /all sorts/ of uncomputable systems, with no apparent restriction. It's undecidable to have a general compression algorithm, but people compress data (e.g. their core values) to their theoretical limits all the time.

If there's a landmark theorem that states "all mathematics greater than or equal to number theory is uncomputable, " and mathematicians make a living computing these systems, then I must conclude either a) mathematics is a Sokal affair on a cosmic scale b) something is wrong with the hidden presuppositions behind my theorem.
There are laws in some states about parties consenting to be recorded, I'm not sure how that interacts with the police and their recording, but my guess is that it's mostly untested until it hits a court or if specific exemptions exist or were added.

I understand and agree with people's need and right for privacy (although I'm not quite sure how the right interacts with this depending on who starts the interaction), but I think if HIPAA like stringency requirements were enacted on the data, with severe penalties, we could possibly hit a sweet spot where people had an expectation that their interaction videos would be private, and yet we could still rely on active monitoring by video of what those we've enabled with extra rights and abilities for the purpose of protecting us actually do, as a form of oversight.

I'm reminded of Robert Anton Wilson's SNAFU Principle: "Communication is only possible between equals." [0] Formal hierarchies can create perverse incentives that discourage passing vital information up the chain, lest you make someone in power look bad, or stick your neck out as a troublemaker / "not a team player" / etc.

While a good manager can mitigate the problem by cultivating mutual trust, individually and culturally, the problem gets compounded when hierarchies become nested, and the org scales beyond the Dunbar Number.

> That’s what censorship is. A small group of people will decide what is considered misinformation and will censor everything that goes against that

This is not censorship. Censorship is stopping you from expressing your thoughts. Not publishing your thoughts is not. You can say whatever you want but no newspaper is in any obligation to publish it.

Similar with social media, you can write whatever you want on your personal "page", but they are under no obligation to make sure it reaches other people's feed.
Really? I’ve never had this issue and I’ve stayed in dozens of listings.

I’m sure this could vary by price/location though.
To be clear, my conception of a "universal ordering" doesn't mean we can always measure when things happen relative to one another. If two things are causally related, we know one happened first. If a tree falls on Andromeda "right now," I don't know if that happened before or after a particular timestamp here on Earth, but it either did or it didn't. (Same goes for all possible timestamps for all clocks going at whatever speed they are going; their timestamps will diverge, but they could still be ordered if we knew the speed they travel relative to light and the starting value and how often they tick, e.g. once per second nanosecond or whatever. So if we had an observer on Andromeda with such a clock, we could eventually order events there relative to events on Earth based on the timestamp they report, though it would take a very long time for their report to reach Earth).

Are you sure that's not compatible with special relativity? Genuinely asking. If not, is it possible to explain why it isn't? I'd like to know (but if I'm asking you to write a book, never mind).

When you say you're in the Rovelli and loop quantum gravity camp - is that compatible with special relativity? I'm guessing yes, but let me know.

I think time is an emergent property of causality. That sounds close to what you are saying (possibly a different way to say the same thing).
