There are a lot of comments here that tell you to listen and to give your focus to the other individual. To give this a bit more specificity, I would highly recommend learning how to paraphrase and mirror (https://counseling.education/counseling/skills/reflecting.ht...). It took me a long time to recognize this, but now that I do, I see it everywhere in empathetic individuals. To put it simply, summarizing the other individual's emotion and telling it back to them ("that sounds like a stressful situation") without offering solutions helps the other party feel heard.

What's also been really helpful for me was when I began seeing a therapist. These are skilled professionals, and if you listen carefully, you can hear how they craft their words to foster connection. You might be able to take inspiration from the way they lead and listen during conversations.
It is a way to bankrupt competing Airbnb properties. Book them all up with hundreds of fake accounts with stolen credit cards.

Nobody ends up staying in them, but it can bankrupt the Airbnb host pretty quickly if they have many properties on highly leveraged mortgages.

> Sexual activity was largely unchanged among unmarried women, along with no notable decline among gay men, researchers reported.

As an almost middle-aged straight man, from Europe, I see the problem described and discussed here as _mostly_ related to young men, seemingly incabable of forming normal healhy romantic relationships. There also seem a growing number of young women who cannot find a suitable partner amongst their own age group, since there are so many young men that simply don't fit the profile they're looking for.

That's obviously just anectdotal, and possibly just an old man yelling at the cloud. After all, hooking up at bars is something old people do. :D

It's definitely an issue we need to look into though. At least if we're at all interested in keeping our own cultures alive. If we don't, it's not going to be the end of civilization itself; it's just going to be the end of our own civilization since other cultures without such issues will still be around.

> the only possible reason this exists at all is to illegally circumvent privacy preferences.

The article gives multiple other reasons why this exists.
They probably want to reduce scraping and definitely unauthorized account access. In addition, Airbnb has thousands of A/B tests running at all times. Scrapers may try to decode pricing algorithms, price fluctuations, etc. The traffic and interest to an offering also has an impact on its search ranking.

There are also anon account crews that will make many fake accounts using sourced credentials from their social group or bought on darknets. Generally, those only result in things like pop-up events from which entry fees are collected. I assume some could use the same method to commit robbery. Another method is to use a botnet of fake accounts and use the bots to build up fake reputation, eg offer a fake listing, book the fake listing, leave good reviews, etc.

There are also some weird currency arbitrage opportunities that might be found if someone was really inclined. From what I saw of that aspect, you'd have to be really looking for pennies in the couch seams.

I wish people would stop attributing our attitude to nationalistic resurgences.

I’m a globalist and think nationalism and regionalism should be relics of the past and I keep getting put in the same box as nationalists because I am Euro-realist.

With this frame of mind I think the EU politicians are shit at building the foundations for a truly globalized civilization and the current system devalues entire areas of the continent both of natural resources as well as human resources.

Yep, STFU is the way to go.

I would note that some people claim they don't want to talk about private things, while they actually want to talk about it.

In general, I pickup incredibly quick when something is off and I mostly just ask flat out: "Is something the matter, since something seems off".

And additionally, I mention that if they don't want to talk about it, just say "It's private or that it doesn't concern me and I won't ask anymore".

In general, I overthink those thinks and too quickly think that it's something with me related. I think mentioning that they can say: "it doesn't concern you" makes me more comfortable that it's not related to me and that they don't want to talk about it too.
That makes the impression that Airbnb is always out of service, and the other platform selling Airbnb rent is more available. It creates a competitor and worsen the service of Airbnb at the same time.
The opposite is true. People already have this unhealthy growth mindset in regards to energy production, when in fact the only possible way of averting the worse disasters of global warming at this point is to adopt a de-growth mindset. There is absolutely no way to replace all dirty energy with clean energy in the 10-20 years we have left to avoid terrible global waing (>2 degrees), and not even in the maybe 30-40 years left before catastrophic global warming (>3 degrees).

> #define M_PI 3.2f

A long time ago, a friend who was studying mathematics at the time, approached me laughing hysterically and showed me a page in an "intro to C"-style book. It showed an example of how one would write a "get circumference of a circle" function. At the top of the code, there was a #define for the value of pi.

The text describing the code said something like this about why pi is #defined and not included directly in the expression:

"We define pi as a constant for two reasons: 1) it makes the expressions using it more readable 2) should the value of pi ever change, we will only have to change it in one place in the code"
I've said it so many times my throat is sore but here goes again...

As with literally everything, it depends. Markdown is lovely for tech documentation, notes and journaling. It's simple and beautiful and mostly independent of layout.

Want to author something rich and expressive which has a modern web audience in front of it (either end user or editor) and it's probably not the right tool.

I work with large numbers of - let me call them "creative editors and authors". They want to embed video, pullquotes, tables, interactives. They want to float images, include audio and much more.

Markdown is not for them. Something block based and visual, namely Gutenberg or similar - is.

As ever (voice grows increasingly hoarse...) it's dependent on needs.
I am not denying that there are problems for truckers in Sweden caused by open borders to other EU-countries and that those problems should be fixed. However, without EU there would probably be a lot less stuff to truck around.
Yes, which is why every time you are given one of those captchas you deliberately pick at least one incorrect image, and it still lets you through. Back in the day when google captcha had you typing in words, it was super clear which one was generated and which one was scanned from a book or whatever - you'd always type in the scanned word completely randomly and it would still accept it.
That’s not security, that’s immigration

I went on a school trip from Manchester to Austria in 1995 and set of the metal detector with my tin foil wrapped sandwiches. Very little difference between that security and the process I had at Heathrow earlier this month.

About 10 years ago was good in the U.K., arrive at heathrow, walk through Iris, job done. Now there’s no fast track arrivals for frequent flyers, and while someone travelling once a year doesn’t mind waiting at immigration for half an hour, when you doing it every week being able to whiz through is very beneficial.

Hot tip: Never fly into Dulles, immigration can take upto 2 hours (pre covid). Fly into and out of BWI instead. IAD has better facilities on the way out, but takes longer to get through the airport.

The other aspect of EU law that always gets US companies is that penalties are large enough to actually be penalizing. In the US companies can basically ignore the law until they get caught, pay a token $100,000 or $1,000,000 fine (which sounds impressive in all the papers), then invent a new interpretation of the law and go do it again. In the EU the regulators start looking at percentages of income during the entire time the illegal activity occurred, so again the US companies are caught completely off guard when they get asked to forfeit billions of dollars.
I'd say when it comes to privacy laws, the EU is actually doing better than almost any other countries. Yes, they could be faster, but the GDPR is still a big win for users everywhere. And a pita for Facebook / Google, which is intentional.

> who also fill the tank in countries with far cheaper gas

So we are talking here about inter-country transport, right? Because I don't think it's very econimical to fill up your gastank in Poland if your driving deliveries locally inside Sweden? That will probably not be a net-win.

If you are a Swedish company importing from for example Poland you could always let a Polish transport company handle the transport. The EU didn't change much about that. A Swedish trucker driving to Poland could also fill up it's truck in Poland with cheap gas.

So what did the EU do that made cheaper gas more of an competitive advantage then it was before?

BTW gas prices are something that Swedens goverment themselve handle...
Any tips for high quality content sites? It truly is hard to find these days
All the inflation around appears to be either supply side issues (cars, anything with semi conductors, transport issues, …) rather than demand side. There’s definitely more money sloshing around but everyone appears to be using it to jack up equities prices.

Any other price rises i can spy right now appear to be opportunistic profiteering rather than over demand. Eg the used car market is already back to many cars not moving since Christmas because they’re over priced where last summer there was a legitimate shortage, no adverts were old adverts for used cars back then.

That said, It doesn’t really matter with inflation whether it’s based in supply or a demand side cause or not, there will be effects just because enough people believe they will come. A self fulfilling prophecy to some extent. Im not sure the effects will be the predicted ones though, i suspect a less rational outcome because the basis for this is not on rational ground.

As for programmers, I’d have to take the other side of that bet. No code has yet again proven itself to be the same useless junk it was in every other incarnation of that idea. Code is infecting everything today. Good luck buying even just a tv without apps, never mind a new car without some junk entertainment system tacked on. Still no one has solved how to write good code - the type hype just now still leads to building the wrong thing for the customers needs and still produces software with very basic security vulns like XSS.

Until someone can solve making code writing reliable, the status quo will continue.

My definition of dictatorship is when the majority have a view and its forbidden to even dissection the idea to further understand it - let alone question it.

Boom and bust has always been a part of this business. It was hard to find jobs as a programmer in the early 90es, the early 00es, and around the financial crisis in 2008. You can be sure that there will be a bust again, simply because hype and optimism eventually will overshoot.

It has nothing to do with "no code", more productive development environments, or end-users becomming programmers. That pressure has always been in the business but the increase in productivity has always been gobled up by increase in complexity, expansion of scope, or automatization of new business.

I’m actually in this industry! So Server Side GTM (SS-GTM) is still relatively new and a bit limited in the number of integrated partners.

GTM in itself doesn’t do any tracking, not even Google tracking, its just a manager. So hypothetically you could use GTM or SS-GTM to listen for clicks on a purchase button and then send a hit to your own URL with your own user identifier (or none at all). Google wouldn’t record this anywhere. If you add Google Analytics or Google Marketing tags into your GTM container, then Google would store that data in their platforms.

The real concern with privacy advocates is that you lose transparency with SS-GTM. When you run client side GTM, you can see hits going off to Google Marketing, Facebook, etc when a site has implemented those tags, and you could use ad block to prevent those network requests.

SS-GTM would only show a request going to client.com/track (or wherever GTM has been set). The privacy benefit is that Facebook and the like cannot set their own 3rd party cookies to track you across the web, however Facebook allows advertisers to pass in hashed PII (like email addresses) to match with users in their database, so if you’re logged in via email, hypothetically Facebook could be linking interactions to you. I have seen very few companies do that yet though, as it’s more complicated to setup that most things and marketing teams aren’t usually made up of engineers.

Don't take my word for it as I only looked into this a while ago but, if I remember correctly, you'll probably need to:

a. First build a function in JS wrapping the usage of fetch and the management of the JS Promise there. You'd use lua_yield and lua_resume to yield, and to return back to lua the appropriate value. You would, optimally, do this just once. Or maybe someone has already written such a wrapper so you would simply require it; you'd have to search around for that.

b. Once you have that, in the Lua side, you would simply wrap your calling code in a coroutine and you don't need to use any await or then or anything. Something like...

coroutine.create(function()
local r = fetchWhatever(url, ...); -- the wrapper mentioned above; you just call it
print(r)
end)

But again, don't take my word for it. Things may have changed since I last looked at Fengari.
