If it's just you or a couple then hotels are generally better. AirBnBs are great for groups or families where it becomes cheaper per room and you get a common space. Also for things like remote cabins.

We've taken to using AirBnB as a search and then booking directly with the provider. AirBnB's fees are exorbitant and they cost per night is marked up as well. I think we saved $600 or so with the last stay and got more favorable terms.
Explicitly, yes. Implicitly, no.
US bureaucracy is not any better than EU. Have you dealt with the FDA, FAA or SEC?

The difference is that the EU tries to protect people in different aspects like social rights or privacy. The US does not offer similar protection, so in some sectors you don't hit the bureaucracy.
>Maybe I'm just old. Maybe I'm just burnt out. Who knows.

How are you measuring those levels? I haven't come across a great sensor for CO2 that isn't expensive and needs weekly calibration.
I find this behavior pretty hostile. Every other online order I can track right from my email except for Amazon's. Facebook also does something similar with its 'so-and-so made a post's emails.
Thank you for sharing mattermost, didn't know that. it's interesting to see Pull Requests as an 'incident' that needs to be resolved by different party.
It didn't made sense to make Axolo Open source at the beginning but we are considering it today.
The rise of reversible debugging for C/C++ made debugging much more enjoyable for me. For those tedious to reproduce bugs you can reproduce and record it once and replay it many times with the bonus of reverse-* operations. With rr the execution isn't even slowed that much.
It should be noted that "hyperfocus" is more of a fringe idea in ADHD science than a well-accepted feature.

Hyperfocus can also be a side effect of stimulant medication. It's not uncommon for newly diagnosed ADHD patients to take stimulants and end up hyperfocusing on the wrong thing, such as video games or other vices.

Be careful about interpreting something like increased focus as ADHD. The pop-culture definition of ADHD has become so blurry that nearly everyone could be considered ADHD under certain criteria. When focusing too much and focusing too little are both supposedly symptoms of the same disorder, it's easy to misconstrue normal behavior for disorders. It's best to leave the diagnosis to a professional.

Can you share any resources you used to learn and improve your writing? My love letters can always be better.
Every article about this has gone into at least a cursory explanation that these weren't even really phones per se. They were basically hardware devices used to access AN0M. This had the double effect of 1) making the criminals feel like it was more secure because it wasn't "public" and 2) making it easier for the governments involved to make the software do whatever they needed it to do.
I have the same experience. It's fun for a holiday week with friends, and that's it. The prices are no longer attractive and it's way less convenient than a hotel. Arranging the key exchange on arrival and departure has always been a hassle for me.
There are some really good low-code tools. For the most part programmers and IT professionals will use them. We have scene this before, look at the history of Visual Basic for direct comparisons.

Low-code is here to stay. Most business programming should be done outside of IT. Not because programmers will not do it but in order to have better alignment with the business. Programmers will still have jobs and be needed. The work will shift as it has for the last 50 years to higher level languages that use libraries and frameworks that allow fewer programmers to manage more business value.

If businesses could write good specs, they would do so now. For the most part they don't because it is really hard to write good specs.
Yes, there are such studies, quite a few IIRC (there have been some deep threads on this topic here on HN before, I’ll see if I can dig any up), and there definitely is some component of education providing higher earnings purely due to employer selection, and/or social selection & bias. So earnings are a mix of the education and skills learned, and of the social signaling that the certificate provides, plus other causes. I’m also in full support of education, but you’re right the disclaimer is absolutely necessary, and there are some components of misleading social narrative surrounding education, just like there are surrounding social mobility.
Elon can pump and dump because he has a massive following and can manipulate the market. Some kid in a basement can buy GME options, but for every one of those you see on Reddit, you'll not see 10 or 50 people who lost money on the bet, or it'll be a large corporation who lost out on the meme stocks, but they just use the tax system to write off the losses.

It seems that mass media and culture is revealing some truths, that there are extremely wealthy people at the top 0.01%, far above even surgeons or lawyers or engineers, who work very hard and are just as smart as the ultra-rich (if not more smart/hardworking). The difference is those professionals optimized for interesting, impactful work that also pays nicely, and the ultra-rich are optimizing for maximal wealth creation, or they're simply inheriting it or getting lucky on risky bets.

In any case, I think lower-wage workers will slowly get a better lot, since our employment rate is increasing and people after the pandemic are realizing how exploitative many jobs are.
The difference between invasive and non-invasive telemetry is choice. If you give me the choice to turn it off, there's some sense of mutual trust: you trust me to leave it enabled if I have no reason not to and I trust you not to abuse the information collected. When there is no choice, as with Windows 10, I have to wonder why. What are you collecting that you won't allow me to turn it off at my discretion? What are you doing with that information that earning my trust is not an option?
We already see a wealth gap between the North and South and the West and East. Also between the old and young. Not sure what that means for the future.

Europes wealth is based, to a large extent, on hardware and a huge number of wealthy citizens. As long as hardware is a thing (not talking electronics but stuff like cars and so on), and we manage to not cut of the poorer 20-30% of society, Europe should do fine.
I'm in the same boat. If I could get Kindle e-books for free alongside the physical purchase of a book on Amazon, and these devices could import them I'd be all ears for a new toy to play with. Alas, two things which will never happen. :(
Process Hacking – Why “Process” Falls Apart and How to Fix It
Throwaway since I'll be discussing some fairly personal topics.

I was diagnosed over a decade ago at the age of 19 and have been in treatment ever since. The changes as a result of getting medication and attending therapy have be profound and decidedly mixed. One thing I'm just going to say upfront is that if anyone reading this thread decides to seek treatment, please don't solely rely on medication. The medication allows your ADHD to become manageable, but crucially it does not manage it for you.

Good changes:

1) Social life immediately and greatly improved. I was able to hold my attention when talking to people. My tangents became less wandering and frequent. I had the focus to make plans and actually follow through with them. I texted people back (this alone was huge).

2) I lose things less often. Before starting treatment I was notorious among my family and peer group for losing things. I still lose things all the time, but now it's usually because I put something down in my house rather than losing things in public.

3) Improved physical health. The appetite suppressant aspect of stimulants play a role here, but I think the bigger thing here is less impulsive food choices. Because I just don't feel as hungry, I have to plan my meals better and so I eat healthier. It's also easier to stick to an exercise schedule.

4) I can sit still and be quiet. Looking back at my childhood, it should have been fairly obvious what was going on, but I believe the mindset was medication was only for kids with poor academic achievement. The scale of lost time has been personally frustrating, but I am grateful for not being put on medication when I was young child.

Bad Changes:

1) Massively increased libido. The stimulants can increase sex drive, but can also make orgasm more difficult while also sometimes making it more difficult to maintain an erection. While these last two can be frustrating on a personal level, the hyper sexuality can be quite destructive when not kept in check.

2) The hyper focus aspects of ADHD are now basically on all the time. Medication is less a guided missile and more a laser. Instead of taking it and 'magically' getting things done, your attention is now dialed into whatever you point it at. This can be extremely productive, or not. I have less 'lost days' than I did before seeking treatment but those days now have a greater intensity.

3) It can be easy to get into stimulant fueled cycles of self-destruction. I need to be very disciplined about getting enough food and sleep. The drugs make it easy to shrug off a night or two of little sleep. But using drugs to ignore my body leads to much worse ADHD symptoms then if I hadn't been taking the drugs at all.

4) There is a distinct difference in my personality on days when I take my drugs and days I do not; see Good Changes, point (1). This can be hard for other people, especially romantic partners, to deal with.

Overall I'm happy that I've pursued medication in combination with therapy. It has let me get a handle on my life, but anyone who says it's all good is not telling the truth.
Why do you think they're rare? As the article mentions, they only paid $7m in this case because the victim wasn't the one who rented the apartment (and therefore aren't bound by Airbnb's ToS) and we're only learning about it because a journalist went digging into court records.

> Anyone registering on the site is required to sign this agreement, which bars legal claims for injury or stress arising from a stay and requires confidential arbitration in the event of a dispute. Former safety agents estimate the company handles thousands of allegations of sexual assault every year, many involving rape.
Why would collecting publicly advertised information be illegal?
I think the downvotes come because you keep saying that music cards use microcontroles, when they do not.

Music cards use dedicated chips, they are not general purpose, and they don’t really do much computation aside from a few counters. AFAIK.

Now, in DIY tutorials they show microcontrollers, because they are easier to obtain, but it doesn’t mean that they are used in the commercial products.
Yeah, especially since the people that hit it big on Bitcoin, GME, Ethereum are cashing out at the expense of the people getting in late; it's a wealth transfer mechanism akin to a pyramid scheme (and it keeps going until it runs out of people to pull in, just like any other pyramid scheme). Twitch streamers / YouTube creators at least provide some entertainment/educational value at scale, so it's more "legitimate" as a source of success, if you can call it that.

It might not be as much of an issue if the people getting in late are already well off (then it's just redistribution), but otherwise it's people rising up on the backs of the misfortune (or cluelessness) of others.
> Do you honestly believe this? What would you tell this to someone who wasn't born into wealth or opportunity?

I can take a guess. Notice GP's emphasis on starting conditions without an explanation of where those starting conditions come from. If personal effort is fruitless (an "illusion," as GP puts it), then they must originate with something else. In this ideology that's usually thought to be exploitation, one group oppressing another and getting rich off their labor.

It's popular in part because it's partly true; stealing is certainly one way to get rich. But so is building. It doesn't have to be zero sum. Unfortunately it's easy to believe that it is because it excuses mediocrity. It's harder to believe that every choice matters because it entails more suffering in the short term.
seems like whataboutism to me. It's OK for your operating system to leak information about me because the web already leaks information about me? Here's a novel idea: how about I get tracked by neither?

This is like the reverse of eye-for-an-eye: pardon for a pardon makes the whole world innocent.
What else goes in this field? Can we all collude to flood Google's spybox with garbage data?
Thanks, I was confused as well. Wouldn’t be that crazy considering their investment in RapGenius.
>social mobility in the US was the same as in India. The surprise, of course, was that India has a caste system, while the US narrative is freedom; if you work hard, you’ll get ahead.

The difference is that the average standard of living ins the US far exceeds India's standard.

Yes you may not make your way to billionaire high class status from the lower class but you certainly can drastically improve your circumstances by working hard. The alternative is not to work hard which definitely isn't going to make your life better.

Additionally, I'd like to know how you think society should be shaped? It seems the other option would be to follow a more socialist or communist route where "equity" is the ultimate utopia... and that typically just brings everyone down to a lower status instead of raising everyone to a higher one.
> Also: being a software engineer/computer programmer in Europe is not as sexy as it is in USA. It's getting better, yes, but here the "engineer" is the last monkey. Managers and sales are the ones who get the credit. So, European mentality also plays a role here.

Eventually those manager and sales people will learn that they need developers to build stuff, or else they can't manage anyone because nothing has been built or sell products that don't exist.
I think they did that twice and both were complete flops. The first one, I think, was the Windows RT. RT had none of the cruft, but many people complained that you couldn't install random windows apps and it just couldn't take off. I think Windows 10 S might be the other but my memory is failing me.
Good point. Everything has free software somewhere in the system. Most content is served using open source software.

But almost no-one uses Linux for general computing because open source requires configuration to be usable.
How far away are your grocery stores in a city? I've always lived within a walking distance to a grocery store, also when in a town of under 10k people. Currently I live in a major European city and have at least seven grocery stores within one kilometer radius.
Sure, but Google makes their own browser. Why they didn't have an opt-in option to open Office formats with Google Docs long time ago? That's what puzzles me.
> All rich countries have impovrished areas that have been left behind.

It was originally all collected by the same vans that did the Google maps street view pictures. Im not sure how it's kept up to date, though.
Yeah your right. Whoops!! Sorry my brain misfired when I read your other response. Deepest apologies, im working with low grade human intelligence machinery here. Need to upgrade to super intelligence next time on reincarnation.

Your right, numbers don't show everything and yah just can't redistribute gdp in a communist sort of manner. But I do think one of the parents thinking exercises does indicate that wealth distribution is more of a problem in America than certain European nations.

Capitalism for all it's flaws is a great system to motivate work, wealth creation, and capital investment(as u mentioned).

In an alternative reality fairer system that can muster up a similar work ethic the average person would be better off and you'd have similar innovation potential but with different work ethic driving motivational mechanisms. But that's a improvable hypothetical to be fair. That's your point of contention right?
> At least for the strong countries in west EU, lifestyle is very relaxed and any ambitious is frowned upon, it is extremely demotivating, not to mention bureaucracy. Corporations and regulations will just drive your small company out of the market no matter what.

My brother works long hours for a company that recently raised 20 millions, all of that in France. Europe is composed of many people, and many of them have a big growth mindset and ambitions. Ambition is not frowned upon, at least not in my circles. Bureaucracy is surprisingly easy to deal with.

The other thing is that people from Europe already know that if they want to work hard and earn lots of money, they can just go to the USA. But things are changing and now people build things in Europe. I think you have a very reductive vision of European people. I'll also add that "Europe" doesn't have a culture as a whole. I'm French, I'm surprised by how Italians do things, same with Germans. We are composed of different countries with rich histories and culture. Grouping everything as "European" is the same as saying "African", it hides most of the reality and complexity of the world.

Phrases like "sovereign state" and the bad-faith "freedom" rhetoric makes me think they're positioning Freenode as a new right-wing hangout.
yeah, I was referring to iO. I'm not an expert at all, but the most promising avenue I see is to make iO decryptors of FHE programs, which would verify that the output came from the end of the FHE program and then decrypt it.

I'm not sure whether you could successfully hide the FHE decryption key with iO, though.
Yes, you need to remain inside the reference class of human simulations, so in a sense there is a bias in where do you want to draw the line of what's a human simulation. But once you do it, the result in not ambiguous.

I think it depends upon what you mean by 'start'. It can be fruitful to experiment with many projects, developing them to the point at which you can make a reasonable judgement as to their value.

You're right that once you seriously commit to a project, you should generally follow it through. But then perhaps that's the problem: people aren't seriously committing to projects, just playing around with them endlessly in a strategic abyss.
Spot on. People treat medication like some free lunch without understanding they come with real and significant costs.

Neither Win7 nor Win10 crashes on me, but the whole "user experience" has been such an inconsistent mess after Win7, even though Win10 tried to undo the worst UX sins of Win8 it's still a far ways off from Win7.

It's as if the Windows team is trying to throw random shit to the wall to see what sticks instead of trying to do slow and steady improvements.

Apparently Win10 has some serious improvements over Win7 under the hood, but those technological improvements don't count much if the user facing parts are quickly deteriorating.
I don't use Uber much and haven't used them at all for probably a couple of years now. But I've been hearing a lot of anecdotal stories about pricing shooting through the roof. Business travelers mostly won't care. However, anyone who was depending on the subsidized prices for day to day usage may have to make significant adjustments.

Counterpoint: Google makes billions of dollars from tracking and collating behavior across sites. If this impacts revenues more than they would like, the bet's off. There's a breakpoint here, and it's probably lower than people outside the company would expect.
Some people win the lottery too, it doesn't mean it's actionable advice or good policy. It also happens to be statistically easier if you can afford more tickets.
>>the market doesn't have enough liquidity for you to gain a meaningful stake

This is unsupported. There are billions of dollars worth of ETH sold every day. If you intended to hold what you bought, the liquidity would gradually go down as you took what was bought off the market, but you could certainly acquire a significant share of the stake.

>>Non-profit is just pre-mine beneficiary that people will fight for control over.

That assumes zero altuistic oversight from ETH stakeholders at large deterring attempts to corrupt the grant issuing process, which is not a sensible assumption.

>>And you conveniently ignored all the other problems with PoS

Long-range attack is addressed with dependence on weak subjectivity:

The nice thing about programming on a RaspberryPI is that the only websites that are light enough to use are Google, Stackoverflow, Github, ReadTheDocs, etc. If you try to check Reddit/Twitter/Facebook you get frustrated with how slow they are and go back to the text editor.

I remember seeing Lightnings at the Farnborough air show, many years ago - the standard trick was a low pass along the runway just in the front of the crowds (on full afterburner), and at the end go absolutely vertical until out of sight. The noise (and the heat that would drift across the crowd afterwards) was incredible.
(to be absolutely clear: I recommend Tuxedo computers. They suggested I remove the harddrive when sending me shipping instructions, something I had already done, but I found it very reassuring they said so and hence recommend them to tech-illiterate family and friends as well)
A friend gifted me his Uniqlo down jacket (I guess he bought the wrong size and they're cheap enough he didn't bother to return it). It was wonderful and I swore that I'd replace it with a proper down jacket as soon as it wore out. It never freakin wore out. I wore that jacket on all my trips for years and it stood up to everything just fine.

Also, my Patagonia sun hoodie is my favorite clothing item I own. I wore it for a week in the Mojave earlier this spring. I was cool and comfortable the entire week and didn't even get a tan on my arms, let alone a burn.
I was at university, back when Germany was the sick man. And I was truely worried about getting a job. Well, things turned out very differently.
