Though I didn't get banned, I had a similar experience with Airbnb recently.

Booked a hotel. When we got there, it was abandoned! Host unresponsive. Clearly a scam. Reported it to Airbnb, and after some back and forth we got our money back (pretty quickly tbf). We naturally left a bad review, warning others.

But then the host left us a bad review, despite never even meeting us or interacting with us in any way! We complained to Airbnb and of course, they "saw nothing that violates their review policy"... Diabolical.

I am sure that that listing is probably still up.
This is a non-story. It was a regulation violation, not a technical vulnerability
It is inconceivable (for someone reading from Europe), that you still left a tip, given the situation
Sure, but it's simply what people want. I will refuse to buy a car without carplay. I also want to have a seamless experience from my contacts / music / maps etc. I don't want old crappy outdated and super expansive software in my car, and I'm certain every day more people think the same.
buy some cheap thinkpad, put on programmer socks and install arch.

im joking but this is actually a pretty good idea for very cheap
I'm pretty sure summer months are the moment where electricity consumption is at its lowest point throughout the year, so that's make sense
Blech also means sheet metal. So a metal (beverage) can is a Blechdose (a Dose is a can). Colloquially one could also say "Red kein Blech" which literally translates to "Say no sheet metal" and means "Stop saying nonsense" or something among those things.

If a sound is blechern we are speaking of a tinny sound. It can also be used as a verb: blechen stands for paying, typically used for when someone has to pay too much or for bad reasons (e.g. when they gave you a ticket for parking in the wrong spot).
Positive Money has published books on how the banking system works in real life, not how it is portrayed in textbooks.

CoreOS Container Linux (haven't checked out Fedora CoreOS) and its' fork Flatcar Linux do that. I couldn't find any good doc about this, but the idea is that:

- RO /usr contains all the system, the rest is populated with tmpfilesd

- There is two /usr partitions, the active one is selected with GPT priority attribute

If I visit the website, Firefox warns of potential security risk because the connection is not encrypted.
That's why it would have been end of the world if Facebook had successfully started Libra/Diem.
> we are inarguably better off for Jobs--and countless others--having prioritised their professions over conventional needs

You don’t know the alternate reality where jobs did not do that. Perhaps another company would have done similar things or even something completely different than also improved our lives.
> They're likely to be an explicit disadvantage in this system

How are they at a disadvantage? Before, they had to do all their filing themselves, after, they have to also do all the filing themselves.
Everything comes down, but it's hard to compete with >95% over 25 years.
I never said I don't believe in altruism. I just see greed as a more powerful motivator. Do you not agree?

> The kind of charity that is most likely to be fraudulent or completely ineffectual, is a small, local one. The bigger the organisation, the more cost-effective it is to do checks.

It's actually the other way around. The bigger the organization, the more room it has to cook its books and bribe the verifiers. Also, the bigger the organization, the bigger the tax cuts, which means bigger motivation for grifters.
A friend wanted to register at facebook and his last name is "couple" in our language. Facebook shows an error claiming, that couples are not allowed to share an account - they should open separate accounts. So far so good. However, Facebook continued to refuse opening his account, even when he sent his id card. Now his last name are the two first letters of his last name which seems to be no violation :)
All this and AirBnB pays its engineers so well. Crazy to me. Feels like they should hire better engineers for the $ and build solutions that are more transparent and consistently adjuducated.

Also comments about email/phone number change cutting people out of AirBnB— same story. This is a feature I could imagine a single engineer building and testing in a summer internship. Yet still horrible guest experience.
I meant to use IPFS for a "mainstream" site.
And UV damage is cumulative as well. Even if you ignore melanoma, there are several non-cancerous or pre-cancerous skin conditions from sun exposure.

If you go to Asia where most women avoid any sun exposure at all (up to wearing masks and gloves) you’ll note there skin looks amazing even into their 50’s.

And the few minutes of exposure you get each day is usually enough to provide vitamin D. I think it’s like 12 min of upper body exposure in moderately intense sunlight is enough.
I hear there's nothing out there but sea, birds, and fish. No environment in sight.

Part of the issue is that it isn't that rare. I guess because I'm reading HN all the time these changes seem fairly frequent, despite overall submission volume. I also have the same trust.
Wasn't he a Buddhist?
I’d rather be alive, living my non-rich, non-famous life than to have FU money and be dead.
Since Airbnb couldn't verify my credit card due to technical reasons, I started using Booking a lot (with the same card - no problem whatsoever), and it was a pretty good experience. Why do you think this way about Booking?
A lot of the people operating on AirBnB are Uber are decent hard working people, but there are also some real chancers who ruin it for everyone. I’m personally back to hotels and taxis after having too many problems with the gig economy.
Only if you have a computer charity organization nearby that can give you that
In tipping countries, a tiny tip is often more insulting than no tip. Ludicrous to me as well coming from Europe, but hey, that's how they do it.
> I left her one star review and very small tip.

I don't understand such (American?) tipping system
Or it's just a cheap ad or for the user to show off; after all they bought an expensive iDevice and not sime cheap Android. Or a little bit of everything's.

As a tourist, I buy it there. That way I know it's reef-safe without having to look at ingredients, and the few dollars spent vs. carrying a bottle through an airport is well worth it.

Many of the dive boats and hotels will offer sunscreen out of a bulk pump, so depending on what you do on the islands, you probably don't need much on your own - just a small tube for your group will do.
I think they'd rather recycle old phones and have you buy a newer one.
I'm confused about how 50kw/m^3 is "horrible". A 4m a side sphere would give 1.5mw, which is a decent sized plant.

What's wrong with a 3-6m size reactor vessel?
IBM was a household name in the 80s. I’m not sure which era you’re talking about, though.
I wish people gave me their insults or bad feedback in the form of small tips
Planet-finding is (understandably) restricted to very extreme types of planets, those which influence their host star in a detectable manner. Certainly cool but I doubt the usefulness.
He does do this, and based on reputation it's perfectly fine. But I'd personally prefer to see this as part of the api and UI.
If it's so bad, why not kill yourself? If you, however, choose to live on, then maybe it's not so bad after all, and some gratitude is warranted?
Yes but why can't they dig infinitely deep??
> Art is often kept in freeports

One of my most interesting memories when visiting Geneva as a tourist a few years back was travelling in a public transport bus near the city's freeport, one of the biggest (if not the biggest) in the world. I was asking myself while on that public bus about how many masterpieces might be stored in the anonymous depot-like building I was seeing through the bus's window. A special kind of Louvre or Kunsthistorisches Museum, if you will.
For sure. That’s the whole basis of healthcare in the US; the more money you have the better it is. I don’t agree with it and I’m glad my country does this differently up to a point but I don’t see why this particular incident is surprising or unfair if that’s the system Americans have decided to live with.
This brings up scaling up good governance and city planning (essentially politics) VS scaling up an industrial product. Democratic governments are generally much responsive to needs of minorities and disadvantaged people, yet it’s not doing particularly well in changing how cities are built. Non-democracies aren’t gonna do any better if not worse. Wouldn’t it be much easier to improve mobility by autonomous driving and improved car design?
Flint has produced a lot of dreamers with big ideas. The biggest debacle was the AutoWorld park in the early eighties. It was an Epcot style exhibit that featured the history of the automobile industry. They spent $50 million dollars building it and they were supposed to draw a million visitors a year. It was supposed to save Flint and it closed within six months. Within three years it was torn down. They didn't even try to market the nearly brand new building. To my knowledge the ground is still vacant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoWorld_(theme_park)

Then when Jennifer Granholm was Governor a conman succeeded in getting a $9 million dollar state check to build a factory that would hire thousands of unskilled laborers in Flint. When the papers had a picture of the guy holding a large mockup of the check with the smiling governor someone told the state this guy is a convicted embezzler who just got out of a lengthy jail sentence. But he wrote a pretty nifty business plan that passed muster with the State Economic Development Commission who never bothered to vet him even though the story was so hard to believe.

https://www.mlive.com/news/flint/2010/03/state_officials_emb...

If the state instead had given seed funding of $25,000 to 2,000 local entrepreneurs they might be building back Flint's economy. I was mocked at the time for even suggesting that idea. It took 30 years but presently Detroit, Lansing and Grand Rapids have versions of that same idea and it is creating jobs.
Which hotels are you staying in that don't have desks and temperature control?
That is very cool, but for a slightly off-topic consideration: I don't think I would want to travel at 60 km/h on a public road with nothing but an ultralight shell protecting me.

(Yes, I know bikers go much faster with even less protection - I'm not a fan of motorbikes either.)

Google's results (in 1999) were relevant, the best results were on the first page (and very often in the first position), simple search terms worked (I'd long since mastered complex AltaVista search queries, and still had to dig through pages of results for relevant hits).

Hell, I remember when AltaVista first appeared --- I was at a conference where DEC were demoing their 64-bit Ultrix at the time, which was what permitted the search index to be held in memory in the first place (AV's secret to speed).

Google simply blew it out of the water.

That said, that was a very long time ago, and was a very different Google.

I think your skepticism doesn't go far enough. The fact that charity organizations are given holy status and exempted from skepticism actually gives greedy individuals more incentive to use them as a cover for money-grabbing schemes. The same reason Vatican is also a hotspot of corruption and crime.

> To insist on principle without looking at how things are seems to be a disingenuous armchair philosophizing, rather than a desire to do any good.

To insist that greed is not a powerful human motivator, much more powerful than altruism, is being naive.
Have you come up with some cheap form of electricity storage or are you advocating geosynchronous orbital solar?
What are you talking about dude. Invention and compatibility is a different thing, you sound line a hater
I don't see how this changes the argument. x% improvement on the issue of sunscreen in the ocean can be made by removing the shower, where x is probably small.
Why don’t you fix those bugs?
It was horrible. Completely and totally horrible.

Adobe very poorly maintained it, it had constant security issues, it was poorly coded, and was abused as an ad platform.

When Linux moved to amd64 / 64bit exes, it took them years to port it from 32bit to 64bit. Why? The codebase was a mess, and they put one dude on it, and his complaints leaked all over the place (I'm sorry it's taking me so long, but this codebase is a mess of spaghetti, I'm having to re-write the whole thing, etc)..

As with everything Adobe buys, their only goal was to ride it into the ground. It is a testament to how popular flash was, that they even updated it at all, ever!

Apple/Jobs may have had fiscal reasons for this move, but it was a great benefit for all regardless.
I am curious. If it's not too personal - you seem to be someone who reads a lot and synthesises it together into interesting output. You appear to have some control and resistance to the attention stealing machine, and haven't succumbed to the traps we're bemoaning elsewhere in the thread - tiktok, instagram. What use you make of hackernews and reddit appears to be controlled and productive. Is that a fair assessment? Was it ever a struggle? How did you do this?

So, it's like Hy, only the other way around?
I like this caricature but remember that, since this is not a regulated industry, there are many different personalities, and those who think this way don’t succeed for long.
I'm sure the ability to use satellite for emergency service in the event you don't have cellular service qualifies as an innovation.
I use cosmetic filtering a lot on Firefox Android. I routinely remove all the sticky-ish headers and footers from sites I visit often, because they are distracting, sometimes move, appear and disappear and uselessly take away space and distract me. Some popups too, even on Firefox desktop.

I'm sure that there are other extensions doing that (Stylish? but the element picker of uBlock origin is extremely quick to use) however Firefox allows only very few extensions to run on Android. They are moving to v3 too [1] so I'm worried that I'm going to lose that feature on my phone or that it's going to become so inconvenient to use that I won't hide annoying elements as much as I do (lazyness, other things to do, etc.)

I'm more than happy to give "read/modify data on all websites" permission to a trusted extension. I hope that you'll keep maintaining the current permission-full version of uBlock Origin too.

No mention of the Eurodollar system, probably best to ignore this. Look up Jeff Snider/Eurodollar University, he's probably the most well-researched guy on the subject.

Except build the program.

$ dotnet build

A fatal error occurred, the folder [/usr/lib64/dotnet/host/fxr] does not contain any version-numbered child folders

I dont know dotnet and dont know how to fix that ^.
Some data posted in July 2022, suggesting things improved - but improved because more transactions were allowed to be exempt from 3D Secure requirements. (eg subscriptions with card-on-file instead of one-time purchases, and merchants with low fraud rates successfully applying to have their threshold increased to €500 before 3DS is required).

[I wish Visa Europe / Mastercard published their own data somewhere easy to find, instead of wading through 3rd party data from companies with an agenda. Maybe it's out there and I haven't found it.]

"Moreover, after only 3 months of 3DS flow implementation, the European grand total of authentication rate improved from 61.8% to 74.5%, with the UK being an absolute leader with almost 90% authentication rate in 3DS flow with Mastercard. Frictionless flow (3DS exemption) was the main reason for this high authentication rate. Authenticated frictionless transactions (exempt of SCA) accounted for almost 30% of authenticated transaction (21.4% pre-3DS), the reason was yet again the real-time efficient TRA. The UK was the leader again with 61.4% exempt transactions with Mastercard, along with high exemption rates in Spain, Greece and The Czech Republic. Axerve, in turn, reported that the authentication conversion rate was 76.22% after 3DS protocols became obligatory."

Actually my software engineering degree had plenty of overlap with electronics content.
The point the article makes is that it's not just about vitamin D but also nitric oxide synthesized which lower blood pressure and improve CV health in excess of whatever risk you accrue from the sun exposure.

It's important to consider of course that different races age differently. Is it masks and gloves, or is it being of the local ethnicity? Not getting any sun at all is really bad, after all, since as the article shows, vitamin D supplementation is quite ineffective.
Refactoring while bug fixing can be good. But depending on your metrics, it might be underappreciated and seen as time wasting.

The guy the goes around blasting bugs like there's no tomorrow looks good to the boss. When he leaves someone will have to refactor his mess and that's wasting time again.

> This is distinct from regular advertising (billboards et al) because your engagement directly and quickly affects what ads are served to you.

This is exactly the same as TV and radio ads have been for decades now. Which ad is served is not at all relevant.

> You can make the case that 'if you can't handle YouTube ads, don't go on YouTube', but then that runs counter to a lot of YouTube's content marketing and brand image. So if you take that stance, you then have to necessarily question the motives behind their other choices.

Take some damned personal responsibility. If something is causing you distress, stop doing it. Whether it's cigarettes, alcohol or youtube, it doesn't matter.
Yes, del.icio.us, and something similar still exists at pinboard.in, but sadly without the full social sharing features which where available at del.icio.us
There's currently 15 providers of those global data eSims, and I find the one I use significantly cheaper than local providers.

The trick is not to buy "global data", but just data for the country you are visiting. For example compare TruPhone to O2.

TruPhone eSim: 16 EUR for 20GB, 30 day validity (this is the most expensive option.)

O2 Sim-only: 15 GBP for 5GB, 12 month validity. (this is the cheapest option.)

A traveller doesn't need 12 months of validity, they need data - Local providers rip off travellers by not making reasonable plans available. The biggest scam are the "1pound" plans in Tesco, which are not 1 pound plans, but just the cost to buy the sim card which then requires a costly plan.
Surprised not to see Secrets of the Temple listed here — a very intimate account of a few years of Volcker's time as chair. Highly recommend.

But the west is not doing anything other than supplying an endless supply of weapons. This is not anti-war. It's pro war on the side of Ukraine. At this point it looks like it will go on indefinitely. Where will we be in 10 in years?

Anti-war is to do everything to stop the war specifically diplomacy and talking to the enemy. Making deals, even if the enemy is an absolute psychopath.
Same. Been burned too many times by airbnb. Hawaii, DC, Philadelphia. People always say “that’s why you book with a superhost” or “if you don’t book in advance you pay for what you get”. I once stayed at a place in San Antonio, tx. Superhost but new property, and I literally couldn’t take a good breath in. I think it was some kind of mold, almost felt like I was in a cave. To their credit they only took one night. Next day at a motel was much better.
honestly, you are being very arrogant. Loudspeakers pumped out at 120db are far too loud. A dog barking at 100db is far too loud. A motorbike revving at 115db is far too loud. If it happens all fucking day, every fucking day, often for several hours without any pause, it is far too loud.

Please stop propagating the myth that it's all in my mind. Would you say it to someone who is being gangraped? Noise pollution is gang rape.
I think they are completely different.

It seems Apple uses the GlobalStar LEO satllites for these communication.[0]

Huawei is using BeiDou[1], which is the navigation satellite system. BeiDou is something just like GPS, but has the capability to send short text message. Huawei is using that function for SOS meesage.

Basically you can expect wherever you can receive navigation signals, you can send your SOS message.

Radical only for those entreched into the ways of C, our university was already teaching RAII to first year students in 1994.

First semester was Pascal, followed by C++ on the second one.
I backed the Rift kickstarter in 2012 and have had just about every bigger HMD since. There is a difference if you don't mind black smear or if it doesn't exist.

FOV reduction help nausea, but in your post you were talking about how screen door effect reducing nausea, which I can't see any evidence for.

Either way, slapping a smartwatch to your eye is a very early 2010s thing to do and will maybe give you a bit of novelty for a minute but is not something that has any real use in the current world of real HMDs.
I have never worked more than the agreed upon contract. This is NOT quiet quitting. I'm not going over and above, why don't YOU go over and above and instead of paying me $125K per year, pay me $500K? Or pay a vendor twice what the contract said that your company owes them?

It's ridiculous.

I always manage up, though. Most managers, not all, are going to take your feedback. I'll tell a manager that under no circumstances would I cancel a vacation or anything else for a job. And, most managers I've ever had would never expect that, nor expect me to work from 6 am to 8 pm every day.
> OTOH my grandmother sold her house and moved herself into a "senior apartment complex" when she was about 80, but she kept on delivering meals on wheels into her mid 80s. When she really couldn't look after herself in her mid 90s she moved into senior care centre but she hated it -- she didn't really like old people.

I don't think it's "old people" per se. These places gather around people in the sorriest possible states, most of whom are in (understandably) horrible psychical condition. Every time I visit, I feel bad for at least the remainder of the day. Living there must be terrible.
When I visited America(coming from Europe) that was the biggest shock to me too - we went for a meal with coworkers, the service was absolutely terrible, food was bad, we felt unwelcome the entire time. So at the end of the service I say - well, it was an awful experience, that means we don't leave a tip, right? No no no - say our hosts - you have to leave a tip, otherwise you look like a jerk.

I was like.....but surely.....the whole idea of a tip is to reward good service, right? If the service was bad, then why would you tip?

I still think about it sometimes. It's like the whole idea of tipping "maybe" started with good intentions(rewarding good service) but now transformed into some kind of idiotic virtue signalling(because at the end of the day, what if we look like jerks for not tipping? literally none of us will ever enter this restaurant again, the only thing we achieved by tipping was rewarding bad service, nothing more nothing less).
