Ask HN: Would you Airbnb with 4-6 strangers?
I've been doing the remote work thing for a couple of years now and it's obviously quite socially isolating.

I'd love to travel and co-work with friends regularly but my personal network is only so deep to reliably count on those known travel companions.

Is there a world where others in a similar position would trust 4-6 (identity verified) strangers with similar preferences to leisurely travel or co-work out of a shared AirBnB and generally socialize in the evenings or around shared hobbies (i.e. surfing, rock climbing, meditation, a book club, etc.).

I think that a shared house and a 4-8 person group provides the most cost effective and socially conducive environment -- they are genuinely the most fun experiences of my life. Clearly, though, they require sufficient trust and safety.

If strangers are a bridge too far, would you self-organize trips like this with co-workers if planning were simple?
"You can never truly speak your mind"

And that is a problem. Our communication depends on being able to articulate ourselves. Quality of our thoughts depend on the language. The quality of our discourse suffers, because our thoughts are being trained to offer 'safe' language.

If you do not see it as a problem, we have a problem.
> Game developers pushed the limits on text, then images, then video, then 3D

> Social media drives content creation costs to zero first on text, then images, then video

> Machine learning models can now create text and images for zero marginal cost

Search was also text, then images, then video files... and I imagine the next step is searching video content. Before you say we already have Google video search or search on YT, I'm talking about indexing and categorizing something like the TikTok video feed and letting users access the content they want, not long-form videos with 3 minutes of intros and "please smash that like button and subscribe". Like searching for "what should I cook today?" and finding a 30-second video of someone cooking penne alla puttanesca while describing the recipe. Extra points if that search is a voice command.

Also FTA

> That phrase, “Facebook is compelling for the content it surfaces, regardless of who surfaces it”, is oh-so-close to describing TikTok; the error is that the latter is compelling for the content it surfaces, regardless of who creates it…

YT and Google video search are too focused on who creates the content. Who cares about channels and likes and subscriptions? "Just give me the shortest answer to my query and give it to me in video now".

Yes, if an aspect of the product doesn't directly affect its price on the market today then it is invisible.

This is why pure market solutions don't work. But at the same time markets are by far the most efficient way to distribute limited resources so you want to use them as much as you can. You just have to remember that they are no good for solving problems you can't put a price on and you may have to artificially weight the market to account for side effects.

Do you really think Elon Musk cares about potentially making about 100 million on a pump and dump scheme? He’s worth 240 billion
> 1. selling that much stock will dent investor confidence in twitter.

I don't understand this bit. It's just Elon selling his own shares that he just bought, why would that affect investor confidence? Nothing's changed about the company itself, so the price would just go back to where it was.
Great book! Frankl can really put things into perspective. I can second reading this.

That's whataboutism. Should there be any concentration of productive forces such that a few people can command or influence others policies to adversely (or even positively) affect millions of people simply because they own stock in said companies?

Anybody trying 1.1.1.1 for families?
I'm was/am in a very similar situation. At 39 I finished my career goals and was privileged enough to be financially secure without working, so I quit back in July.

In November I started woodworking and it has been a great outlet. Reasons why I enjoy woodworking:

- Somewhere to go/something to do. The saying `the devil will find work for idle hands to do` was real with me and the woodworking gave me purpose.

- Something to learn. Don't let the YouTube videos fool you. Learning woodworking (or anything I would assume) take time and is hard. It will feel hard. But that's okay. Enjoy the process

- I get to make things for people that brings me a lot of joy. A few weeks ago I was humbled with the task of creating an urn for my uncle. It was really special to give that to my cousin.

In regards to mental health... I have dealt with moderate to sever depression most my life as well. I tried therapy, running, seven different meds with varying dosages of some and nothing seemed to work. The only thing that worked for me were ketamine treatments. I have not tried TMS so I don't know how they compare, but the ketamine was like a switch was flipped the first day. Life changing for me when I started almost two years ago now, even though effects have faded over time. It is expensive and I encourage you find someone with a care background and not a generic clinic, but it could be a good option for some people.

My email is in my profile if you have any other questions.
No, it wouldn't be that much higher for mogas (typically a 91-ish octane unleaded, E0 (ethanol-free) gasoline).

If there were an unleaded 100-ish octane fuel legally available as a substitute, that would have demand if 100LL were banned. Over 70% of the avgas burned is burned in airplanes that are not eligible for the STC* to allow them to burn mogas (typically as a result of having lower worst-case detonation margins as a result of being turbo-charged, super-charged, high-compression, or some combination).

* - Supplemental Type Certificate - an airplane modification, in this case a mostly [entirely for most airframes] paperwork modification, to their original type certificate.
I both like and hate how Rust has `String` and `&str`. Constant juggling between the two (which really is a sign I'm not doing it right). Yet knowing and using the difference is important and powerful.

I somewhat miss this when I go back to Ruby, but then realize that symbols often can be used for `&str`. Often. Not always.
This is effectively where we are. History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme. I am personally saddened that it is not seen as a danger that it is.
I really like Julia. I wouldn't say I come off like a cultist, but I do think they spend an annoying amount of time on PR for themselves.

I think Julia is stuck in a spot where they are better than say R/Python for scientific computing on a fundamental language structure level and package manager level, but that it's not good enough to make up for the fact that those languages have a more robust ecosystem.
Sorry what. If I go to jail and feel bad about being there since it means I can't meet my kid, then the judge is to blame? What the actual fuck is that level of stupidity. Be better than that, dude.
That's when the guarantees end. I'll buy the next phone the first security update that I don't receive.
I read a piece* some time ago arguing that in the Anglo economies, a conscious decision was made to use asset price appreciation as the engine of wealth creation rather than productivity growth and wage increases. Although I cannot know the truth of this argument, I feel like it explains a hell of a lot. I just rather wish I had understood such a policy had been pursued. For the author of the article, I feel she would do well to understand that who gets what is not an unfathomable and pre-ordained outcome. It is the result of the accretion of many policy choices which favour one outcome over another.

> which should at least provide some evidence that the majority of shareholders--today, not last year--value it at <$55

The price is only determined by who is buying and selling right now. Trading at $45 merely implies a nonzero number of shareholders value Twitter at $45.

There is too much content on big platforms to make unpersonalized recommendation systems viable. Even something simple like a feed showing you videos from people you follow is a recommendation system personalized to you based off the users that you personally follow. Without personalization you get stuff like trending videos with maybe new videos sprinkled in too help new videos catch traction. YouTube's trending page is pretty much universally hated by everyone I've talked to.
Just a suggestion but if you were gonna try Ketamine I would probably try MDMA or like 1.5-2g mushrooms first. Both can shake up the funk in your brain and get you to reassess life, Ketamine has mostly made me lay there in a daze.

>Everyone currently holding $TWTR believes that the true value is greater than the current price.

This is not exactly true. Everyone holding Twitter believes that it will outperform the next best available asset. This can mean that it will decline less than cash (i.e. inflation) and decline less than other stocks. In our current market, this means people believe that Twitter has a good forward looking IRR, but it does not mean that all holders believe that the stock price should be $70.

>To make a successful hostile bid, you need to pay not just "more than the current price", but "more than the holders of 50% of current shares believe the company to be worth".

Again, this comes back to IRR terms. Sure Twitter may be worth $100/share ten years from now, but most people would take $50 today than $100 then.

>This is what makes it so difficult, and why this bid is very likely to be rejected.

The bid is likely to be rejected b/c it's likely made in bad faith. Read the SEC release and count how many times it says ' non-binding'
Money is fungible. Dollars put into Twitter are, exactly, dollars not put into those other things.

Dollars speak louder than words. Musk can say anything, anytime. What he does with his money demonstrates what he believes.
No actually, from an outsider view the comment you replied to is exactly right. For a lot of non-americans it's borderline hilarious to see how cheesy and hyperbolic the narrative around the riots that happened on that day is (I remember it got to the point where "this is worse than 9/11" was an unironic take). I guess it's fine and it works for internal consumption for political rhetoric, but that's it.

By the way your comment is exactly proving their point. It's a bit amazing actually, you literally repeated the same tired hyperbolic talking points. And the claim that the riots killed 4 people has been debunked repeatedly.

"I feel like I've hit my zenith already and it's just a slow decline from here on out. I’ve been dreading this day because it’s a sad reminder of that."

Yes, it's very likely that you have hit your local maxima. You've been preparing for this day and the day came. It maybe worth noting to oneself that it did not turn out the way you predicted and perhaps identify, if possible, causes that your prediction was so off. Considering that you subconsciously believed that your life will be short, perhaps there were things you did not like in your life that you have compromised upon or negative feelings suppressed that contribute to feeling unhappy?
I thought "Therapy or Crossfit (though the skill tree allows you to choose only one)." from

Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, is well noted to influence cell mutation, so that is probably where the connection, if any, exists.
Billionaire or not, what is illegal in his move ?
Counterexample: Suppose I'm selling a product with zero cost and I've determined the profit-maximizing price to be $1.00. This means profit as a function of price is maximal and therefore the slope is zero, i.e. raising the price by 1% makes sales go down by 1% and vice versa.

Now suppose my cost to produce goes from zero to $0.99 per unit, which drops my profit to $0.01. Now that 1% increase in price that only drops sales by 1% is well worth it because my profit per unit doubles. The profit-maximizing price is now likely well over $1.
Not necessarily. On linux for example, you'll find netfilter firewall rules installed by tailscale that implement strict reverse path filtering, which will ensure that tailscale IPs can only reach your userspace process if they originated from the tailscale network interface.

(you might ask why we don't use the rp_filter sysctl for this; unfortunately linux has a broken precedence order where loose filtering overrides strict filtering, so even if we ask for strict behavior for tailscale0, if the systemwide default is loose, we get the insufficient loose behavior - so we implement RPF by hand in netfilter instead, sigh)
And we definitely don’t have countless examples throughout history that shows the disastrous consequences of not allowing individual economic freedom and all it entails
If the claim is "just go to therapy once a week and you'll be cured", then I would say yes. Depression is multi faceted and there's no single solution. It would likewise be ridiculous for somebody to say "stop weight lifting, all you need is therapy".
Great work. Congrats to Keith and the rest of the Ngrok team.
I was recently looking at a McDonald's drive-thru menu for the first time in probably a decade (road trip, forgot to pack a bite to eat). A Big Mac meal was $11. A large french fry was $4.99. It shocked me a little bit.

I've been scratching my head for the last day and a half wondering how the McDonald's drive-thru near me is always packed. Your comment is illuminating to me because I didn't know that I needed a McApp to get McDonald's prices, though I am not at all surprised.
Yet all you have shown is that the WSG claim is debatable, not that it absurd.

> If a decision maker cannot dedicate the necessary resources to properly power a test

Apologies if this is what you meant, but in a lot of cases it's not a matter of not dedicating enough resources so much as there aren't enough resources (ie visitors, users, posts, etc) to detect reasonable effect size. And in those cases, it seems like the author's point is that running a test is actively worse than a gut call or focus group or whatever else. But to your point, product teams often don't like gut calls because they feel subjective and unilateral, so having a test allows some degree of shared accountability for decisions.
Like how Twitter memory-holed the NY Post/Biden Laptop story? Yeah, moderation, sure.

Economists love their supply demand graph.

This article is saying the graph isn't enough. This seems obvious on its face, reminds me a friction in physics, where you can ignore it until you cannot. But physics is not incapable of measuring the friction.

The concern is if economists able to account their model's friction.

Original Nautilus developer here. This really distressing, but not surprising, given the various issues GNOME has had over the years. I wish I could come up with a solution, other than raising a large amount of cash and creating another entity like Eazel who would have the same amount of focus and concern for the user experience the original team did.

1999-2001 Nautilus didn't have type ahead search as far as I can recall, but the search, thumbnail and icon layout issues were all things I worked on. I am pretty sure thumbnail generation was quick, icon layout was stable and search was decent. If not, Andy and Darin would have been on top of us to fix is ASAP.
Pretty sure most licenses have a clause stating that, if one clause is deemed invalid, that fact doesn't render the entire thing null and void. Check with your lawyer when in doubt.
IIUC, the poll's questions used the term "Russia", which implicitly lumps together the following groups:

- the Russian military leadership

- Russian career soldiers

- Russian conscripts

- regular Russian citizens

Wouldn't most of these issues be addressed by the company managing their own work-issued laptop, presumably with an always-on VPN and full disk encryption? Same for work phones. Customer data and production cloud credentials should never be on a personal machine, period.

> The fact that their primary concern has to be for their shareholders and not whether the sale will be good at all for the rest of humanity is a huge problem in my eyes.

I know very little about public trading or the laws regarding it - especially compared to many other HN users - but here's my novice response:

Think about why that's a rule. The board doesn't own the company; the shareholders do. The board's role is to make decisions on behalf of the shareholders. The rule exists to ensure they do exactly that.

A board deciding to financially harm the investors they represent for the "good of humanity" goes against the very concept of investment. A public company intentionally acting against the financial interests of its owners would see its stock value immediately collapse, causing immense damage to its shareholders, employees, and customers.

If you want a company to act "for the good of humanity", it has to either be privately owned or align with the financial interests of its investors.
When A&W got the beyond burger years ago I was one of the firsts to try it. Up close smelling it and you can tell it's not real meat but when the hell do I ever smell my food like that. Overall it's good, I've tried many veggie burgers before that they were horrendous. It doesn't beat regular meat though, but it's close.

Beyond is definitely a new generation of veggie burger and this is a good thing. I on the otherhand have not had a beyond burger since that day because meat is still better.
