Sorry Airbnb, you've screwed too many people too many times. You've allowed, even enabled hosts to abuse travelers. I'm not rolling the dice anymore. The last straw for me was last year traveling to NYC for Christmas. The host refused to contact us back, never a peep from the host. Airbnb fought us tooth and nail in terms of refund. How am I going to put small children on a plane and hope everything is fine when we land? They didn't care. They were doing everything they could for the host. Finally after 3 days of arguing back and forth one of the off shore customer service representatives gave us a refund.

I shouldn't have to spend 12 hours on the phone over the course of three days, having my vacation completely ruined, just to get what I deserve which was my money back.
> It explicitly says Congress however it is currently interpreted that it applies to all governmental organizations. Federal, state and local.

No, it isn't.

States are limited by the 14th Amendment. Now, the Supreme Court has interpreted the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment to apply a whole lot of substantive rights against the states, including rights exactly identical to those protected against federal interference by the 1st, 2nd, 3rd (but only, to date, but one Circuit Court), 4th, 5th, most of the 6th (except for the jury locality requirement), and 8th (but maybe not the excessive bail requirement) amendments.

> It has previously been argued that the same limitation on interstate law existed at the state level, as the authority of a state could not exceed that of the congress when it came to national matters.

The interstate commerce clause argument against the state isn't that states can't do what Congress can't: that states can regulate purely intrastate Commerce is not subject to serious dispute.

The argument is that the interstate commerce clause itself prohibits many state regulations of interstate commerce, and further empowers Congress to further narrow the permissible space of state regulations of interstate commerce.
I listed a laptop on FBM, and out of probably 30 contacts, 29 were pretty obvious scammers. Really bad experience. I've had much better luck on CL.
> 3 year olds are being given genital surgery

This is not my suggestion, I am saying that this is what the right think what the left wants for everyone. I know this is not a thing that happens and is complete bullshit.

> For the record, just because OAN is even more reactionary than you, doesn't make the things you're saying centrist, they're still reactionary and bigoted.

Apologies if you misunderstood, I should have rephrased it, this is mostly what people complain about during off-corpnet casual team chats and whatnot re: eggshells. I don't think that they are/were reasonable opinions myself and I am fully aware that giving puberty blockers after puberty is rather pointless, for example.

I am Indian but I speak English as a second language and it feels like a lot of older hyper-conservative coworkers are more at ease to openly discuss these things with someone they think is from the same background and in their language.
I think the best you can do in is to talk directly with your boss and express your concerns.

You seem to already have delivered value to them, so you are in a good position to tell them what you would like to happen or how you feel about it.

If they are a good manager, you’ll get a good response and things will improve. If they are not, you wouldn’t want to work for them for much longer I guess…
> I'm in the US

That's great. The block is in the EU. Which is in...the West.
I'd also say that if you're an employee of the company, you should be able to communicate with boss and CC... everyone. With updates. "Here's the latest update. Please let me know if I need to make any changes - To: Boss, CC: everyone"
I am trying to make a Bipedal Wheeled Robot, so learning mechanical design and solidworks modeling. Refreshing my robot Kinematics and Dynamics. Will eventually have to learn some optimal control to make it do fun stuff like jumping or leaning to the side but that is still quite far ahead in the future.
There's at least some hints that short term inflammation might be good, and not something you always want to suppress with ibuprofen etc.

Some of these same people are now telling us "of course treatment for ectopic pregnancies will be allowed" (there are already laws preventing that in places) "of course no one will be penalized for a miscarriage" (there are already women in prison for that) "of course there will be exceptions for people who really need it"—this is, in fact, the mindset of a lot of conservatives. It's closely related to Frank Wilhoit's cogent observation of what conservatives believe [0]: "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

It's also very much the "surely the face-eating leopards party won't let leopards eat my face!" mindset.

I've heard anecdotal reports from some people who have more conservative family members than I that some of them are actually starting to realize that there won't be the "reasonable exceptions" they were just assuming would exist, and getting genuinely worried.

>to cushion Airbnb's pockets

i.e., to their stock price, i.e., to investors, i.e., to pension funds both private and public (pensions are by far the largest AirBnB shareholders), i.e., it likely benefits the majority of the public (the majority of US households have stock exposure, quite often large pension funds or index funds - AirBnB is part of the Nasdaq 100, for example).
I can't speak for everybody, but I have high functioning autism, and according to others I have difficulty admitting when I'm wrong. I actually believe the opposite and think that I'm very good (better than average) at admitting when I'm wrong and I actively seek out additional information to form a better understanding of the world around me. If I truly do believe that I am correct, I am more than willing to engage in a protracted conversation/argument until I fully understand why the other person believes me to be incorrect, and I am happy to accept additional evidence contrary to my viewpoint as long as it is evidence and not merely anecdotal or personal opinion.

At least for me, the main issue I have is that many people I interact with use "gotchas" to try to "prove" that I'm wrong in conversations/arguments, which eliminate significant amounts of context, nuance, or stretch the bounds of reality. Alternatively, many situations involve people, and people don't act rationally, so a model which assumes rational actors will often be violated by the behavior of others in practice, which doesn't necessarily mean that the model is wrong or the expected behavior wouldn't have been more optimal, it's simply not what the person chose to do.

When there is sufficient evidence based in reality that my model or my understanding is incorrect, I freely admit to it and work to get even more information so I can update my model of the world and improve my understanding. I am rarely incorrect, because I am nearly obsessive about learning more and more information about the world around me. Sometimes when I am legitimately wrong, it is because I have forgotten a detail and when corrected admit to this, but it is unsatisfactory for the other person because they are expecting me to completely change my entire world view rather than simply saying "You're right, I forgot about that, but did know that, so yes ... X".
I can "load up" the axioms of set theory plus the necessary definitions into working memory, but I'm still not claiming any millennium prizes. I do not think that a model of a person that is only limited by information would be anything close to a person that is limited by computational ability.
Apparently there are people who will add Tylenol or ibuprofen or aspirin to their daily cocktail of pills even if they don’t feel bad at all. Amazes me.
"Need". We don't need to do those things. We choose to do those things.
Yeah, I was thinking "Craigslist is dead? since when?"
> OP was the only one claiming this.

He isn't. Not by many millions. "Anecdotal evidence" refers to one (or at least only a small number) of people claiming something.
I’ve found FB marketplace much better than Craigslist. There is a small level of vetting available to you; how old is the account,do they know anyone I know, do they look crazy. You still have to take sensible precautions. So far I’ve always found what I wanted to buy, and a buyer for my stuff and zero issues apart from obvious scammers.
There's a lot of lookalike butterflies though
> It might stun you to learn that the US is part of the west and isn't blocking RT.

Golly gee, you sure got me there on that! Let's rephrase to "parts of the West", what impact does that have on the argument that Western powers engage in media censorship as well?

> I don't want to stun you too much, but the west is not some uniform block of countries.

There's a switch you hit when you have enough ppl.

"Left to the states" means "not left up to you".

The phrase is often used as if it's meant to suggest that they're fighting off federal government overreach. In fact, it's used exactly to allow them to have overreach over you, at the level that they can make it happen. When they get the opportunity to control it at the federal level, it will stop being "left to the states".

It's very much about denying individual liberties, using Orwellian language making it seem otherwise.
I have a similar pattern when using an rxjs pipeline to do async tasks in response to changes in other values. The typical pattern would be

readonly foo = bar.pipe(
switchMap(v => doTask(v)),
shareReplay(1),
);

Where doTask returns a promise or an AsyncSubject. The shareRelpay allows foo to cache the last value so any late subscriber will get the most recent value. This has a problem of returning cached values while new work is happening (eg while a network request is in progress) so instead I like to write

readonly foo = bar.pipe(
map(v => doTask(v),
shareReplay(1),
switchMap(v => v),
);

This way the shareReplay is caching the promise instead of the result. With this pattern I can interact with this pipeline from code like so

async someEventHandler(userInput) {
this.bar.next(userInput);
const result = await firstValueFrom(this.foo);
…
}

Without the pattern, this code would get the old result if there was ever any cached value
Is that true? What about Facebook marketplace?
I was referring to fat, and when it comes to power to weight ratio it's utterly useless. However it's true there is a bias towards upper body in climbing, but probably not as much of a bias that some other sports put on the body like cycling or running. You don't really grow big muscles, relatively speaking, climbing makes you lean and works out your entire body, after a certain point larger muscles actually become a burden... though strong feet and calf muscles are vital to be able to stick around on tiny feet holds and execute high tension manoeuvrers.

I would agree that doing a lot of cycling/mtb would probably have a slight negative affect on your climbing ability, i'm not sure about the reverse though - what most people don't realise is that climbing is a very technical sport, and you are totally using your legs most of the time, in fact one of the most obvious identifying behaviours in novices is people hauling themselves up walls using their arms and getting tired really quickly - it's not constant cut loose campusing, those are only the most extreme moves, the crux of a hard climb or a boulder problem.
If I ask you to solve a difficult puzzle in one second, is your failure an unforced error?
Yeah, I like the suggestion, I'll preface in saying I'm not in a "Decision Maker" position at my company though so ideas are only so good.

Ultimately it's a management issue. Internally among the techs/engineers we've talked about it but management keeps pushing to satisfy the client and the temporary compromises we make at one moment start to become permanent mainstays of how we operate. I don't have any confidence that if we had a "B-Team" or "Sub-branch" that when a big enough project came along they wouldn't just poach the needed labour and destroy the separation between them.

You could almost say we operate with an "A-Team" and "B-Team" as we have techs split primarily between the Mining and Agricultural clients but they take our techs often from the Agricultural side to fill in on needs of the mining side. There's no shame.

Meanwhile people wring their hands and fret over declining population growth, because of the short-term effects it will have (on the order of a couple of decades). Seems incredibly short-sighted to me.

I see no reason why we should specifically pursue growth, rather than a stable population. Short-term population decrease would even be a good thing, as the older and larger generations eventually pass on and their children and grandchildren have fewer children of their own.

I love how the article is one big collage of ads for developers. The irony in discussing this topic as a way of marketing to developers.
No, that is not okay. But I did some searching, and it did not seem like a common misconception. I was simply ignorant in this situation and somehow got to the age of 35 equating bill and law.

I even went back to this popular kids’ video to confirm if I was misremembering, but I could not find anywhere “official” that refers to bills as passed laws.

Could that be because swelling is an inflammation and ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory drug ("AID" part of "NSAID"), whereas acetaminophen is not an NSAID?

There are at least a few possibilities here I think:

1) They weren’t actually wrong, but you didn’t understand their context

2) They experienced discomfort with an incursion into their worldview, and you didn’t compellingly convince them they were wrong, so why bother to switch

3) Along with autism seems to come a predisposition to narcissism as individual understanding frequently outstrips peers, and an under engagement with social skills mean they don’t get as much from those interactions

In my experience the denial is usually temporary unless they are malignantly narcissistic.
> this particular report is accurate.

You missed my point: something can present accurate facts in a highly misleading way.

People who've worked for the government get jobs outside of government, usually in similar areas. There's nothing sinister about it, but articles like this want it to seem sinister.

And frankly, this is like 1/10th of a story. They found some profiles on LinkedIn, but so what? Have these people actually done anything unacceptable? MintPress doesn't know.
Since FB profiles are used in Marketplace, I've actually found it relatively easy to spot scammers or at least have a set of heuristics to judge whether or not a profile is legit.
I was always told the ones in Kansas were going to/from Mexico on this migration, but I gather from Wikipedia that that was all actually happening much farther West, and ours weren't the migratory kind.

If I was a professional designer, I'd see something like DALL-E as an awesome tool to help come up with concepts upfront in discovery sessions etc.
The theory is wonderful in its simplicity and I can see how that's appealing, but it doesn't feel correct to me. I don't think neurotypical people are really paying attention to everything they need to when talking to people and I (an autistic person) am just unable to. I also don't see how the theory addresses my state when I'm in between interests. As of now there's no overwhelming interest that consumes all my thoughts yet I still experience autism. This is an interesting model and I do appreciate the reframing from dysfunction to functioning differently, but I don't think it's a complete picture and I think it's especially bad at communicating how it feels to be autistic.
Yeah, a genius heroin addict friend of mine drew a molecular structure for a new opioid[0] on the back of a napkin and sent it off to a synthetic chemist in China to be synthesised. To my infinite horror I actually tried a dose of what came back, at the same time as he took his dose, and in the recommended (high!) dosage of what I think was a decent chunk of a gramme. Luckily it worked. I can well see how someone could have the confidence to try something as mild as ibuprofen.

[0] Or pseudo-opioid, I'm not sure. He's a biologist and I'm not a natural scientist at all. All I recall is that it was a positive allosteric modulator of the mu opioid receptor, which, by and large, may as well be Greek to me.
Does anybody else remember Bazaar? bzr was the first DVC I used, right before switching to hg. I liked hg more than git and still use it on one project but git just took over. I think git's adoption was not only pushed by GitHub but also by being faster. HgHub would probably still not have won against GitHub due to its early popularity in the Ruby on Rails community and since self-hosting Mercurial over https was much easier compared to git.
This anecdote brought me some joy, thank you for sharing it.
If the author is reading, there's a typo on the third sentence.

At one point in time I was reading a section on Intel's website of cache optimisation using a tool that shows you the cache behaviour of the CPU and column or row major iteration it had a GUI.

Hey HN,

Over the past few weeks I’ve gone down a rabbit hole with some friends making a little framework for writing and testing emails using react components. It uses Mailjet’s very cool MJML components and the venerable nodemailer. This is a more polished version of a thing we’ve built into a few side projects. Hopefully it’s the last time we build it :)

Isn’t HTML simple?

Writing raw HTML for emails is a bit like making a website in 1999… table layout, inline styling, no JS at runtime. As modern web frameworks mature it becomes more and more arcane relative to the rest of the codebase. I’m sure that for some people the HTML is pretty easy but it puts me in an edit -> wtf outlook -> google loop. MJML fixed that for me.

Why code emails at all?

There are a lot of nice no-code SaaS email solutions these days, but sometimes you want your app to be self-contained or need more automated testability or you want to enforce a design system programmatically. We’ve hit all of the above and we’re also just more comfortable expressing layout as code than learning a bespoke WYSIWYG editor.

At our real estate startup, one of our most loved features was an email digest of new properties matching your search criteria. It was a cornerstone retention mechanism and we had a ton of logic (and tests) ensuring that it was only sent twice per day, never sent the same property twice, ordered listings in a certain way, could be retried on failure, metered sends over time to avoid self-DDOS etc, etc. As we grew and started moving some stuff to Mailchimp and Iterable for marketing to own, product emails with a ton of logic stayed in the codebase where they could be tested. We suspect that won’t change any time soon.

Without further adieu, please check it out and LMK if you find it useful (or find bugs). Thanks for visiting our rabbit hole, happy to answer questions.
This is how I've always understood it as well. It's probably not quite this simple, but for a couple of sentences, I can't imagine having a much clearer picture.

Part of me wants to replace "post-Kantian" with some sort of Hegelian descriptor, but I suppose the difference in meaning would be somewhat negligible. I've just always felt like every continental philosophy since Hegel has essentially been a response to him less than Kant, but Kant certainly provided the foundation for what was to come.
