He is still a man with great ideas, and an amazing ability to hype them. But yes, they get overhyped. Black & White sounded a lot more awesome than it turned out to be when released (still a good game, though, but nowhere near as epic as we'd all heard). Fable was, in essence, the same thing. The Movies, I feel, isn't much of a game, but curtains for the movie making thing (which worked nice), but by that time I had figured out the hype machine and expected less. Lionhead makes solid games overall, but it amazes me how the gaming magazines and sites swallow everything Molyneux says hook, line and sinker.

To me, this underscores one of the key risks to having an AirBnB room for rent.

I think if you are going to do it, you really have to be careful.

1. You should probably be someone that works from home / is home often. At least then you can monitor your place more often. You wont be seeing inside the room, but you could at least hear if anything insane is going on in it.

2. You should not have much by way of valuables around your place, nothing easy to steal. The first place I rented on AirBnB was like this. There was no TV/dvd player/ps3, the host had a laptop which he took with him. It consisted mostly of cheap Ikea-ish furniture. This works in my mind because it mitigates what can/can't be stolen.

How to Make a Thesis
If the students know how to make a thesis, then it can help them stay ahead in the thesis writing task. This is because; making a thesis is the first difficult task a student has to face when writing a thesis paper. In a thesis paper student has to select a central topic and find a research problem.
This isn't a good article about data warehousing 101. I've been working in data warehousing since 2004. The core thing in DW is DWH data model because it's actually abstraction layer than converts raw transactional data into meaningful, consistent, correct and persistent representation of an organization's activity. Tools (including mentioned in the article) are just means to achieve that goal.
Good reason why renting sucks. (It's not your house).

To suggest it might not be paranoid, but merely prudent. To think it's at all more likely that this is a setup against AirBnB and not just... you know, crime... I think is in fact paranoid.

If you want motive, here's one that you might be surprised to learn motivates a lot of crime: the guest needed money for drugs/debt/food/just wanted money, and thought he might get away with it.

Houses get broken into. People get mugged. There doesn't need to be a conspiracy for these things to happen.

It's a win unless you don't care about the downgrade in graphics performance (nVidia > Intel GMA) and power consumption (Core2 > i7). In these regards the latest model looks like a downgrade, at least on paper.

I'm appalled that noone seems to notice or care about those things, especially power consumption.

Graphics performance: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark...
search for "NVIDIA GeForce 320M" and "Intel HD Graphics 3000". Intel has a history GPU's with poor perfomance and feature support.

Power consumption: on this very table, look at TDP http://ark.intel.com/compare/54617,54618,56858,36697

Pentium M(2004) = 5W http://ark.intel.com/products/27609/Intel-Pentium-M-Processo...

Core2(2008) = 10W

i7(2011) = 17W

Despite the shrinking of the electronics Apple even had to raise weight a little in the latest model, to accomodate a battery large enough to provide the same "5-7" hours of runtime. That's when you are mostly idling or browsing; I'm sure the new Air will run hotter and shorter if you utilize your CPU closer to 100%.

He explicitly states early in the post that the image in question is no longer uploaded to the picasa album.
victim is correct, this was bound to happen to someone and as the service goes popularity, there will be more victims in the future. AirBnB should have other security measures in place like providing driver license #, ssn, etc. so that identity of the person renting the place is assured. With all the recent funding leading to great PR, bad elements will start coming in. Site is no longer bound to the nice educated customer base.

For business use, a CRM is the best way to go. I'm seeing a few people (grudgingly) paying for Highrise (37s), which seems to work well; CapsuleCRM is another freemium option. If you look at other solutions, you might want to check if they support Mailchimp in case you ever want to send out a newsletter.

Alternatively, see if Podio.com works for you; free for up to 5 users and more of a project management suite.

If you're talking about something better than Plaxo for private+business use, I'd be curious as well. There is soocial.com and I recall a YC-backed company posting on HN.

The difference between a hotel and a home is that while a hotel may be trashed occasionally by the drunk rockstar, there is nothing sentimental in the hotel room. Screening is not going to stop someone pathological from unleashing wanton destruction. Even ordinary renting out houses usually require some kind of bond to be placed to deter and filter out riff raffs. I wonder if AirBnB would ever do this because it increases the transaction costs dramatically. On the other hand, it is a nice cash "float".

Twitbook already exists (http://www.tweetbookz.com/)
This article is a pseduo-analytical wrapper around an extremely partisian stance: My political opponents are irrational idiots (literally mad elephants), having purposely made themselves incapable of rational cooperation. Therefore, I will take the high road as the morally upright and rational person I am.

The key thing about the game of chicken is that it is symmetric. And, in fact, the current budget debate is more-or-less so: both the president and the house republicans must agree; it either rejects the deal, there is a terrible consequence for everyone. (It's possible, of course, to argue that one side will come out worse, to break the symmetry, but the article makes no attempt to justify such a claim.) Declaring one side crazy and the other side righteous is hardly analysis.

This is an interesting article, but the game isn't chicken, what is happening in Washington is a dance of distraction. Most of the damage to the economy is already done, the public is just waiting for the "leadership" to finally drive the rotting ship into the iceberg. No matter how much the rational and historically educated among us yell "The emperor has no clothes", we are powerless against the interests that have dominated over the last thirty years.

Agile Project Management - Extending PMBOK
I remember a while back, someone on HN commented that they preferred the AirBnB model to CouchSurfing; because they felt that they were under no obligation to spend time with their host, or try to repay their hospitality with a meal or gift.

CouchSurfing relies upon (and in turn reinforces) a culture of good-will.

Because AirBnB converts the CouchSurfing model into a simple cash transaction - I think a lot of the positive norms that are inherent to CouchSurfing are lost.

For references on the biology, read Simon Baron-Cohen or Louann Brizendine.

Regarding your statistical "argument", obviously the example of Lisa Leslie does not mean the median height of women is greater than or equal to the median height of men. Overlap does not imply equality.

I often wonder why people who can understand fine statistical distinctions in other contexts, and are capable of calculating over/under representations down to three decimal points, lose about 50 IQ points on this topic.

It is similar to the selective and highly asymmetric demands for evidence. I assure you, there are reams of papers on Pubmed concerning the effect of fetal testosterone levels on spatial reasoning. Indeed, there are many more such technical papers than there are well-controlled studies on the disparate impact effects of "competitive job postings".

This hard evidence differential obtains in spite of the fact that researchers must conduct their studies under dark of night, lest they meet the fate of Larry Summers.

I too would guess the guests were meth addicts. I had the unfortunate experience of moving in with some tweakers and some of these behaviors gave me flashbacks.

It's a hell of a drug -- my roommate was once a normal young professional, but methamphetamine use turned him into a monster with bizarre, destructive habits around the house, and dark, evil plotting against friends and us roommates.

He would be sober and make normal plans to go to work, fix up the house, have friends over, then he would get really high and skip work, destroy the concrete floor by "power washing" it, and throw a tweaker party with loud music at 3AM, and threaten everyone that asked him to turn it down.

There was violence, abuse, and damage to the property. I removed myself from the apartment for my own safety, and ended up forfeiting thousands of dollars in security deposit for what he did when left completely on his own.

I obviously don't know the situation here, but all of a sudden my thoughts of again hosting CouchSurfers or AirBnB guests is shaken. There are some bad people out there, made even more unstable with drug use, and these sites offer a vector in which they can enter your life.

to me any meaningful theory of mass would have inertial and gravitational mass equivalence at its heart (and/or explained immediately and naturally). Higgs mass is just a theoretical workaround to provide for W,Z bosons masses. It is just a descriptive theory, i.e. "it can be thought as if it was happening that way" , i.e. any of the 1 pagers mentioned can itself replace the actual Higgs mass theory, and we'll still would have the same result, incl. that now we would be looking for and not able to find the pensils suspended in the vacuum instead of Higgs boson.
500 to 1000 is not bad of a seed funding for a thief. I think better security measure would be to provide some sort of valid state or federal or national identifications. Any decent hotel requires this so why not AirBnB?
Thanks for all the attention folks! I'm always keen to hear feedback & thoughts or even suggestions for future posts from HN.

Personally, I only measure what I achieve divided by time used divided by stress caused. Intelligence has not much to do with that equation. It's a red herring, IMO. If you bind your self esteem to your perceived intelligence, it is very fragile. If you bind your self esteem to the amount of work you do, it is much less so.

That or drop them with a friend or relative. Why is that so onerous?

I think people should use AirBnB however they see fit, but understand the risks in doing so and take whatever precautions are realistic to lessen them.

This situation would still suck, but not be nearly as bad/scary/expensive if the victim hadn't left cash, credit cards, expensive electronics, legal documents etc. in the apartment. I'm just recommending easy steps to lower the potential downside and increase the overall EV of being an AirBnB provider given that this sort of nightmare is a slight but real possibility.
"Open Access" - all academic papers available for free on the web - is very hot right now. To the point that many national funding agencies require it as a precondition for funding research.

Additionally, researchers in some fields did already make (most of) their papers available, either centralized (arXiv, eprint.iacr.org - math, physics, cryptography) or on their own web pages.
It's interesting to read this stuff and I'm glad you're doing your best to improve UK recruitment. One small thing:
all-caps is unnecessary (unless it was a play on RFC should), italic (or bold if you must) is better. Your text is bit of a wall, it might be better unjustified, slightly darker and with some paragraph spacing. I see you're composing it in what looks like Word. Blogspot probably has better defaults if you copy-paste in plain text instead (or use the eraser on the toolbar).

She's already learned her lesson, the discussion is only worthwhile to have for observers.
