The price shown on the map or per day does not take into account the cleaning fee or the local taxes, or the booking fee.

So if the host has a base rate of $45/day, when you go to book it it recalculates it as

base rate + cleaning rate + tax rate + airbnb rate.

Then the dates specific can also have different pricing set by the host, so it becomes

base rate(days) + special rate(days) + cleaning rate + Tax rate (local city/state) + airbnb fee (10-15%)

Meaning when you use the user interface, and select a schedule it does the above - it should try to do the mean average and show it on the map,

e.g. a one week / 7 day stay, base no special rates set by host should be

$45(7)+$20 cleaning rate+5% tax rate+airbnb 10%=

so, 457= 315.
Add the cleaning fee of $20, so it's $335.
5% tax, 16.75, total of 351.75
10% of that is 35.17, grand total of 386.92

but it will display $45/day or "$315" a week, while the true price per day is $55.27 or $386.92.

Now that example isn't so egregious, but when you deal with reservations in the thousands, having "15%" added in misc fees make sit feel like "what happened to the original rate displayed"

It's not truly transparent until you go to the listing, set the dates exact, and then see the first number and then continue through the workflow to check out and pay.

If you don't have dates set, then it will always* show the lowest rates on the listing or on the map aggregate, which, sure, I get no dates means it can be the lowest, but the customer path from there to higher fees and prices really makes hotels seem more "honest" in pricing even though they sometimes hide the state/city taxes, and some platforms like booking.com won't even include them at all so you have to pay for them at check in!

tl;dr price shown first is never the price you pay on airbnb. 500+ reviews, yeah.

My limited experience (thank god not 17 days) being held for almost a day with border patrol is that complaining about being held just encourages them. Yes they live for that shit.

As someone with a 'flagged' US passport (despite no criminal record nor violating US border related law) who is repeatedly been detained and thrown in a cell without even being arrested or charged with a crime, I've become quite accustomed to how agents of the state treat those under their detainment. The best strategy is to pretend like you don't give a fuck and that you enjoy the experience; then the agents lose their amusement with you and eventually grow bored of fucking with you. If you act annoyed they latch on to you and toy with it the way a cat toys with prey.

Sadly this guy made the mistake of thinking jailers are not psychopaths. Never give psychopaths an opportunity to see your weaknesses.

No, that is a terrible comparison and a shitty argument. This is like saying we should let people drive unmodified T-72 tanks around, because they don’t have explosive-reactive armour or composite armour, and you probably couldn’t beat the US Army with them based on the results of Desert Storm. You could still destroy an entire unarmed neighbourhood in minutes, or level a hospital, killing hundreds. They are inherently capable of killing a lot of people quickly.

The “civilian” model AR-15s are simply M4 Carbines with with less automatic firing modes. If you go back 50 years and show an AR-15 to nearly any soldier, they’d happily swap you. They have large magazines, and can sustain a high rate of fire with very high accuracy. The way you use them is exactly how soldiers generally operate their M4s.

I have to be the voice of dissent. I played it for a few hundred hours (but nothing like the hours I sunk into Diablo I & II!), and for the first few days of play it was almost more fun finding bugs and little "polish issues" than the actual game itself.

PoE is the diametric opposite of the quality you see in a typical Blizzard game.

It's fun in its own way, and it is free, but calling the the "best RPG available" is a stretch.

I had a list of all of the issues I found, but I lost the text file to a PC upgrade, so I won't type them all out here, but the most glaring one for me was that when you moved from one area to the next, the door orientation was inconsistent/random, so you'd often end up going click-click-click to move and then move back to the previous area by accident. With the slow loading times this was particularly frustrating.

I've had debates with PoE fans, and they gaslight me by telling me that "there are no issue", "the game is perfect", etc...

That's actually an interesting psychological phenomenon all by itself! People can get acclimatized to anything and learn through trial and error what to do to avoid issues. For example, I learned to avoid the door orientation thing by pausing the move clicks when entering new areas, so I stopped noticing the bug. But the bug is still there! It didn't go away. I changed, the game didn't.

This is why players with 1K+ hours in PoE swear that it is awesome, polished, and bug-free. They don't even realise all the tiny habits they've picked up to avoid the bugs. It's like knowing to double-click desktop icons, but single-click web URLs. This isn't consistent. It isn't good. But people learn and get used to it, and stop thinking about it as a problem... until they watch Grandma use a PC. That's when you realise... oh... it's actually a terrible, unintuitive user interface.

This is why Microsoft famously used to use random people off the street for UX testing. Internal testers learn to avoid the rough edges after years and years of clicking around the same GUI.

PS: I just remembered another glaring bug. Setting the game resolution to 4K would set the monitor resolution to 4K, but the game would render in 1080p and upscale. This wasn't a feature, the game simply couldn't write the value 3840 to the config file because there was a "sanity check" in the config GUI (why!?). If you manually edited the config file, you could play it at actual 4K. Again, people would swear up and down that no-no-no, I was wrong, it's a flawless game and runs buttery smooth at 4K, etc... meanwhile they're playing a blurry game that they just assume is "the PoE look" and some sort of stylistic choice.
Everyone with disadvantages gets victimized by the PVP aspects of our world. It is reality. One must deal with it the best they can. And it is getting worse.
m4b-tool is great! Excited to see how much of an improvement tone is.

I'm just setting up audiobookshelf this week and it seems promising. My hope is that they could eventually handle the m4b conversion in their app while also fixing chapter alignment with silence checking. Right now it still requires some manual work.

As you said, there is `pip freeze`, but also the Pipfile.lock for pipenv and the poetry.lock for poetry.

Same for Rust with its Cargo.lock, same for JS with it's package-json.lock or yarn.lock, same for everything that lets you freeze your dependencies.

EDIT: That's also what test suites and CI/CD are for.

They let me write software, manage dependencies and virtualenvs, there is even pdm which supports the recent PEP for __pypackages__ (equivalent of node_modules) instead of a virtualenv.

Can you clarify how every single one of them suck?

There’s a 6 degrees of freedom robotic arm on Amazon. It was about $30 when I bought it. That price includes the Arduino controller. I built it and it works as advertised. It’s part of one of my products now.

I don't understand how AA is the one getting sued here.

In a situation where multiple parties have wronged you, you can bring suit against any of them. In this case, the State has immunity and the individual at AA likely doesn't have enough assets to be worth suing. That leaves AA potentially holding the bag.

Police have a lot of nasty tricks they can use to get people to talk, including the ability to lie about nearly anything. They can claim things are 'off the record' when they're not, lie about evidence or witness testimony, claim you being silent will result in them e.g. arresting your family members, and all other sorts of insane stuff. All completely legal.

It's easy to say don't talk, it's another altogether when you're surrounded by people whose entire profession includes getting people who don't want to talk, to talk.
My issue isn't needing to pedal, it's the lack of proper bike lanes with physical barriers away from cars. If I could get where I wanted to go without worrying about a car coming into the bike lane, or the bike lane just being a swatch of paint on the road, I would bike much more often.

I just moved away from a city that got it's first protected bike lane... but since it was just down one road, and could be walked in under 10 minutes, it wasn't all that useful to me. There were also many spots where cars and trucks still obstructed it. While it's a start and better than nothing, there needs to be a serious investment in infrastructure. I feel like this is a "build it and they will come" situation. Peachtree City, GA is an example of that. They built a ton of golf cart paths all over the city, and everyone just takes golf carts everywhere instead of full cars [1]. It looks fantastic.

Said city also did some things during COVID to make temporary protected bike lanes with a bunch of construction barriers. It wasn't until they removed it that I found out that was the purpose. I don't think anyone else got the memo either, as very few people used them. It just made traffic horrible, as we lost lanes everywhere, for what looked like a construction project that never started.

Oh I see now, you were referring to exclusively speaking to the judge. Yes maybe that makes more sense. I have no idea if judges are as psychopathic as jailers are.

If you are not for the free speech of people you disagree with, then you are simply just not for free speech.

They should have to clean the jail. The story of his detention is bad enough, but the fact we treat human beings in this way simply because they’ve been detained - guilty or not - should be profoundly objectionable to everyone. But there seems to be this emergent belief that jail is supposed to be a house of horrors and the punishment is the horrors of the jail itself, rather than being deprived of freedom.

Jails should be safe and clean, not traumatizing and filthy. The jail isn’t meant to be cruel and unusual punishment, but it has become that.

Freedom of speech has absolutely nothing to do with representing things fairly. It's about being able to express ideas and thoughts without fears of censorship or retaliation. In fact, being able to misrepresent things is in itself a test of freedom of speech. People have been wailing about the moon landings being faked for decades without disappearing mysteriously. Don't think people in North Korea can afford to spread conspiracy theories about Kim Jong-Un, however.

The cry over whataboutism is funny when you're sharing a paper funded by the Chinese CDC, and taking that as gospel. I'm not excusing Western media anywhere, I'm simply saying "Western" is a pointless qualifier when the problems you are describing apply to media driven by profits and/or vested interests, which is almost every news source.

You are throwing "Western media" under the bus, but in contrast to what? Not Chinese media, which the discussion was about, so I'm curious what your reference point for good media is in this case, that happens to be better than "Western media". Keep in mind that quality levels differ, and if you only follow Murdoch rags, obviously you're not getting quality reporting of any sort.

Agreed re: Zig!
If you want to get back into developing software professionally, you should. The tradeoffs seem small. Lower likelihood of product leadership role (that you don't seem that interested in). Higher probability of being a CTO (though I wonder why you want to be a CTO). Your product skills atrophy while you're doing development, but can be redeveloped if you switch back. Compensation is probably around the same (depending on the details of your current roles and prospects, and the developer-oriented role and prospects). More capability of developing the SaaS you want to build yourself.

Joy is worth optimizing for.

Would you lose the joy if you code professionally? Some do, some don't.

> I want to transition back to Software development by going into a developer advocate role so that I can leverage all my client-facing experience and code on a daily basis.

Developer relations makes sense. Another possible stepping stone is Consultant Software Engineer / Solutions Architect (the professional services kind, meaning a client facing engineer that integrates the thing with clients of your company, or builds a full custom solution for them - companies like Thoughtworks or Palantir come to mind).

> I am hoping that this will allow me to build a micro SaaS in the next few years to set up a parallel income stream or become a CTO with a strong product & strategy mindset in a few years.

You seem to have all the skills you need to build a micro SaaS (or regular SaaS - maybe even a macro SaaS). If that's what you want to do, what stops you from doing that right now?

> I am probably going to lose the option to be a product executive in the future

You won't lose the option entirely, especially at smaller companies. Though yes, it will be harder, especially at larger companies, if you change towards development part or full time.
Not in Australia, it's the exact same price.
I think the headline buried the lede. The important part isn't the "sail itself" bit. It is:

> The HiNAS 2.0 system provided an increase in fuel efficiency of 7 percent and a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions of 5 percent

Your concern about extended time didn't seem to be the case in this journey because 33 days is about right for a Pacific crossing. Most cost structures of shipping stack up around:

1. Fuel

2. Port charges

3. Crew wages and travel

4. Management fees

5. Hull and machinery and P&I insurance premiums

6. Stores

7. Lubricants

8. Spare parts

9. Maintenance and repairs

10. Survey and certification

11. Dry docking

12. Finance (payments)

Of these, fuel is the biggest by far so it made sense to optimize on that first. Port charges are the second-largest cost, especially including any canal transits if those are involved. Then management, finance and insurance. Then maintenance (including dry docking). And then crew and crew-related costs. It is an interesting optimization problem for sure.

>Learning Haskell directly can be a very frustrating experience for all, but the most headstrong. Trying to directly introduce Haskell to a large team is almost guaranteed to fail.

There are also functional programming languages which are not inspired by Haskell and which are easy to learn. I quite enjoy F# and was able to pick it up relatively fast.

Also, about Haskell being hard, it still doesn't seem "rust" hard.
Political spectrums are always relative, and the spectrum of one country does not align well with the spectrum of another.

So while the policies you mention (social justice etc) might be main stream in one country, they can be far left in another.

Left-wing politics in the US would be centrist in much of Europe and positively right wing in say Cuba or Venezuela.

But you are not alone in your false equivalence - take for example the way many Cuban exiles in florida equate the democratic party with the communist Cuban regime (both described as left wing in their native countries.)

So comparing policies and parties from two different countries, and trying to use the same "scale" (left and right) is prone to error.

An error well understood, and exploited, by politicians everywhere.
The police are negligent too if they held him for 17 days with just a name from American Airlines. The video evidence would've shown that wasn't him.
