Yes, that's my point in asking. AirBnb's have never been appealing to me, neither as a host nor as a guest, for just these kinds of reasons (i.e. lack of regulation like a regular hotel is under). I'm sure it's great for many, but I know of no towns or neighborhoods that express anything positive about the impact and effect AirBnbs have had on them -- _generally_, it's the opposite.

I think you make some good points - and the downvotes are a little unfair - we are by requirement painting broad strokes here, because going into specific examples are veering somewhat offtopic and putting people at higher risk of being overspecific and identifiable.

> They're asking questions to become informed. Some details matter

This is true, but like you say -

> That said, good execs are rare

and the difference, in these meetings between the good asking probing questions and the bad doing it out of unaware self-justification in this case naively look somewhat the same. To go back to broad strokes, it seems easy to convince yourself that once the dysfunction sets in - that as good/motivated people leave over lack of being able to make progress, it's easier to maintain the dysfunction than fix it.

I'm in a part-academic, part-business company associated with a national lab, which means that commercial pressures towards growth are somewhat missing or ill-defined. There are lots of good people who truly believe in what they are doing, but it remains a truth that it's a lot easier to just move people around or let their contracts play out (if not permanent) than fire them, and there is clearly a reticence to promote useful or "essential" people out of the job where they are supporting things more critically that their position technically describes.

> This has changed for the worse with capitalism and social inequality.

An interesting perspective which I feel might be the actual core of the problem. I grew up after the Revolution, so I can't make a before/after comparison, but (as I mentioned in a different comment) I see a tight connection between how aggressive other students were and how bad their family situation was.

> Math for math's sake was never my thing. I only started to really like math in university when I saw its potential to solve real world problems.

Perfectly legitimate. Pushing hard math early on can actually put you off the subject forever. Some of us started liking it in university, but a lot of capable students decide it's just not for them. With a different approach many might have ended up understanding and maybe even loving it.
Same here!

I went the nuclear option in Firefox and disabled search suggestions and history from my omni bar. The only thing that shows up when I type now are my bookmarks, which purposefully only include stuff like personal finance, gmail, and project documentation links.

The omni-bar reinforcing past browsing habits that were formed out of addiction by putting them in the top of the suggestion list is a dark pattern for me.

Please disregard the following offtopic rant; I'm not sure if I'm just getting older and jaded or if Github (and the web at large, if I might be frank) is having these issues more often as of late.

Is it that what we are doing is becoming more complex, or are we, as a web, moving faster and breaking more things? I wonder sometimes if the advancement and affordability of our hardware and the systems we can run on them has decreased our reliance on optimization and correctness as a requirement of deploying on affordable hardware. Basic functions used to have to be combined with great rigor to run on the same machine for swaths of users. Now we are so far from that we have 1000 layers of abstraction, and it isn't hard to imagine how lots of tiny inefficiencies stacked on top of each other may be adding up to bigger issues.

In my org we have a term for this, where you're encumbered by faults deep in the toolchain - getting 'middlewared'.

Setting up a server running 9front on a Raspberry Pi 4
Typing this from Firefox, been typing from Firefox since 2002. Never moved to Chrome. That's probably a small group of people for sure, and I'm actually happy with this update, and the changes Mozilla has been making. I do think, completely against the grain of most Firefox fans, that they should've moved to Chromium ages ago. That would solve the reason people are actually leaving.. issues with Google properties. I have my mother in-law on Edge because there's less issues when she jumps on her karate class using Google Meets. There should be someone out there to battle Blink, I suppose, but without user share at all, how do you hold any weight anyway? It really doesn't make sense, the argument people make.

It's usershare first, then you have weight to put towards web standards. And I'm afraid Mozilla doesn't have the resources and willpower to fight that battle anyway. If I'm calling shots with Firefox I'm moving to Chromium immediately and then focusing on UI and privacy features. It's probably too late to make that change though. I just read Firefox lost 50 million monthly users in the last two years.

It's a little sad, there is room in the market for a 3rd party, power user's browser but it's obvious as can be that whatever browser that will be- it will be on Chromium and it won't be Firefox.
It's a sad reality. I agree with you though. As an Airbnb host though, it really does take one bad guest to change the dynamics of hosting.
Gazing at the Mother Tongue: Analyzing Twitter’s Image Cropping Algorithm
We already live in a police state. The federal, state and local infrastructure and resources are mind bogglingly massive. They have laws granting them near carte blanche rights and actions.

We are citizens of our country and we deserve a dignified existence. We are supposed to have rights, and they're being worn away, formally and informally, by our governments and megacorps acting like NGOs.

I'm sympathetic to the overwhelming horrors of drunks, drunk driving, violent actors, child abuse, child porn, economic crimes, etc.

I was a bit surprised, but 80% degradation after 1,000 cycles numbers they provide as a baseline seem to be accurate: https://www.findmyelectric.com/blog/how-long-does-a-tesla-ba...
Sorry, but not quite, your own example demonstrates that.

So who built the first smartphone?

It was probably Nokia. And what happened to them?

BlackBerry? They were the one's that made Google and Apple pay attention, because they built the first real baseline use cases for data networks. But was that even a smartphone?

Of course, the iPhone was not the first smartphone, but it was a breakthrough of sorts, but if we leave that product - that aside, how many companies can you think of that generally create this level of 'breakthrough' product?

Almost none.

'Disruption' almost always comes from smaller, newer companies, where there is a fundamentally new strategy that is at the core of the companies existence, i.e. it's inherent in the nature of the company itself.

The reason you might misunderstand this is likely due to the fact that popular understanding of the business world is completely skewed towards interesting and novel companies and technology.

'Business' is not what we see on TechCrunch or even the more classical business press really. The Economy is mostly made up of classical companies of varying sizes wherein my comments apply even more appropriately.

This sort of thing is why there needs to be some sort of labor movement. Are unions perfect? No. But something needs to happen.

You don't magically provide less value to a company by moving to a place with a lower cost of living. But businesses are using the lower cost of living as an excuse to cut payroll costs. It's disrespectful to the employee, but unfortunately there's nothing an individual employee can do other than quit.
We don't need to worry about mRNA vaccines doing this. You'd need to actually reverse aging. Stopping diseases one by one will never work. They're simply not preventable in the long term.

The population dynamics of such a situation would be dwarfed, imo, by the political and wealth inequality problems. Society is structured firmly around an average human lifespan.

Yeah. Why would the Taliban negotiate a peace (acceptable to the US) when they're about to win? To think they would is nothing but wishful thinking. That would be like the US, in 1944, negotiating a peace to end to WWII that left Hitler in power.

It seems like there's been a fair bit of (public) wishful thinking by the Biden administration regarding the withdrawal (e.g. that pulling the rug out from under the Afghan government would cause them to somehow pull a rabbit out of their hat). Right now, it seems like it was basically a decision to hand Afghanistan directly to the Taliban, especially now that it has momentum on its side.

The storage is at the high end and better than most other EV chemistries by 50%+. It's unusable because it doesn't survive long enough, but I think the point is if they can solve the cycle issue then this chemistry becomes available.

It might not double the range of a Tesla or Kia, but it won't be too far off. FWIW, the 360 Wh/Kg number is not far off the 400 number where flight apparently becomes interesting.

Please keep in mind that this was a globally marketed device with approval in Europe. European health authorities weren't any more proactive in addressing the issues.

Most work happens despite the managers - not because of them. The overzealous workaholic bees can be safely expected to perform heroics to get things done, ad astra per aspera. For a manager - it's a safe bet.

Only rarely that gambit doesn't work, the sacrifice ritual is performed, and the manager gets a new, even better gig elsewhere.

My British state education really did feel like "memorise just enough to jump through these arbitrary hoops which keep the government off our backs" sometimes. It's very exam-driven rather than learning for its own sake and apparently it's got even worse since schools started transitioning to academies and Gove's reforms took effect.
Nothing Apple says about this modern day surveillance tool will make me more accepting of it. If you think this isn't about establishing complete control of your communications, you are a fool. If you think this about protecting the children, you are a bigger fool.

I do not want AI making such decisions affecting humans. No matter how good it is. I also don't want John from Apple looking at my profile and assigning me a score on a scale of 1-10 of how "pedo" am likely to actually be.

What I actually want is for people to stop thinking that technology will solve every human problem we have.

You have to be either naive, conceited or just lazy (avoiding the real work) to actually believe this is possible.

It costs the same in the US and Germany, $19.50. There will always be a scummy Martin Shkreli[1] type and Germany is not immune to this. See VW and Wireguard. BaFin seemed to ignore red flags presumably because it was another darling of the German economy similar to VW.

The US also moves very slow legally but the reckoning is coming for Pharmaceutical price gouging. Lots and lots of hype in the past few years about it.

On the subject of compromised devices:

> And the idea that the most valuable thing that an attacker — who’s undergone such an extremely difficult action as breaching someone’s device — was that they would want to trigger a manual review of an account doesn’t make much sense. [...] and that is something that we want to only occur in cases where it’s a legitimate high value report. We’ve designed the system in that way, but if we consider the attack scenario you brought up, I think that’s not a very compelling outcome to an attacker.

It seems that Apple considers that scenario unlikely, although I think it would make a lot of sense for an attacker to choose that avenue, since they get Apple to do the reporting for them.

However, Apple also claims that even if such scenario would happen, their threshold limits and manual review would make such attacks worthless, but they do not elaborate as to how those checks would actually filter out those attacks.

That’s very insightful - when I switched to US high school, the approach to math was baffling - everyone had programmable graphing calculators, whereas I wasn’t allowed any calculator at all, and took a lot longer to solve the most basic problems. Most questions were answered by the teacher as “it’s a formula, you follow it and memorize it” (which sounded ridiculous to me for the exact reasons above - I was taught to understand the basis first, then the applications).

Yep, I think that makes sense. Certain use cases will have a need for some kind of on-prem/HSM approach, less from a practical perspective but more from a "doomsday modelling" perspective. Reminds me of the "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" adage :)
>Which one sounds more palatable to you? To the world?

Your claim is that somehow scenario one makes scenario two suddenly palatable. Like people will say "oh, they ran an allegedly limited surveillance program for the US, so who cares if they run an unlimited one for China?"

>Apple wouldn't unlock a single iPhone for the FBI in a terrorism investigation..

Apple willingly offered to help unlock that iPhone. They're methods were blocked due to police mishandling of the device, and they were unwilling to pay to develop a backdoor for their own product.

>If you believe Apple suddenly shifted their privacy stance on a whim, and isn't being subtly pressured by the Chinese government to develop new means of device access and control,

This thread is about the FBI getting Apple to continue allowing easier access to devices. You brought up the example of the FBI trying to force Apple to allow them to access their devices. And the most recent event is Apple's surveillance of American devices. Yet somehow, you think the only possible reason Apple may be changing their stance is China.

Sometimes things just happen. Maybe a friend comes by to say hi and brings their little doggy, unaware of your host's policy. Now, if I had read "no pets, we are very allergic and it can cause serious health problems" I will tell me friend to get the hell off the porch immediately! If it's simply a standard "no pets, no parties, blah blah" it probably wouldn't even occur to me that a dog on the porch could possibly be an issue.

Things are not black and white and wishing for a world where they are black and white does no one any good. We're all better off accepting the complicated nuances of the world and acting accordingly.

Same here. I don't do AirBnb for a number of reasons. Cameras being a key one.

I think if they do it, at least in Europe, the need clear signage that the room is under CCTV surveillance and I do think that this is a legal requirement in most European countries and even the extremely camera happy UK.

I think I'd bolt might fast if I find such signage in my room. If they put up cameras without indicating it that would be sure as hell illegal.

If you're transitioning inside the same company, you have the added benefit of knowing the people you'll be managing ahead of time. This isn't always necessarily a positive thing for the same-company argument. You'll definitely be more aware of the "people problems" that will now become "your problem".

If you're OK taking on those problems, go for it. If not, you're essentially rolling the dice - you may end up with a situation that's better or worse.

Only circular if the stats are only from within the YC ecosystem, but I believe the stats mentioned are across the entire startup ecosystem.
