It's quite convenient to keep a book of contacts where you have stayed before and then can negotiate directly on a rate the next time you travel there. Something to be said about returning to the same places you've enjoyed before.
Wickard v. Filburn[1] effectively took nearly all of the constitutional scope limits off of the federal government. All the government needs to justify interference in the most mundane of human interactions is to find a broader economic nexus in the activity.

Summarized
"The Court reasoned that Congress could regulate activity within a single state under the Commerce Clause, even if each individual activity had a trivial effect on interstate commerce, as long as the intrastate activity viewed in the aggregate would have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. To this extent, the opinion went against prior decisions that had analyzed whether an activity was local, or whether its effects were direct or indirect."[2]

Not OP but for me it's not about what sources to trust (blindly? literally none of them), but what type of information you can trust. Naked facts seem to be safe for the time being, context should be assumed to be heavily biased in a particular direction, and opinions are worse than worthless.
This is completely solved on AirBnB's German website (and I think many others too). If you search for a place on airbnb.de the results page shows "€xx per night, €xxx total", where the total price includes all fees (cleaning fees, service fees, taxes), and the nightly price is just total price divided by the number of nights. When you click through to the listing it shows you a table how this breaks down.

Which just shows that using the misleading numbers on the US website is a business decision.

Iraq gassed their own citizens, tried to assassinate a U.S. president, invaded their neighbors, engaged in terrorism (not Al Qaeda). At the time of the gulf war there were regularly trying to shoot down iUS and NATO aircraft in the no-fly zone designed to keep Saddam from killing the Kurds. Iraq was a horrible mistake and tragedy - but no oil was stolen, nor was territory seized. While many people died, there was never any systematic assault on civilian populations - Iraq became a disaster because of an Iraqi civil war. It was a single country.

Compare to:

Russia is invading a country whose security they guaranteed. They are raping and murdering people, flattening cities and directly targeting infrastructure that is only for civilian purposes. They are attacking those who are not a threat to them, and never engaged in any of the above causes beli. They are I’m doing so to enlarge their nation and subjugate others. They are threading the same to other nations. They unleashed the largest European war since WWII.

Your inability to see a difference here is either astounding or predictable, depending on your core ideologies, but I have a solid suspicion of which I believe it is.
S2 uses Hilbert curves, which is slightly different but definitely the same idea. https://s2geometry.io/devguide/s2cell_hierarchy

A cell ID in the S2 coordinate system is equivalent to he path to a quadtree node, as in 0101101 describes which sub-sub-sub-etc-quadrant you're talking about.

It seems like linear quadtree in this context would essentially be an array sorted by S2 cell ids? (I'm not entirely clear is linear quadtrees are just the old trick of array-ifying a fixed-fanout tree structure, where k's children are 2k+1, 2k+2, etc.)
There seems to be some sort of exceptional geopolitical event involving Russia and Ukraine. You may have heard of it. It's affecting the global energy market.
I feel transparency in pricing is more valuable to the users. I've sold items that cost more to ship than they were worth; the problem is that if they choose to return the item I would eat the shipping cost if I offered "free shipping".

The result is that bulky worthless items have lopsided price/shipping. Ebay offers the UI tools to show users the bottom line and they can make an informed decision.
I don't think its a press hit, rather a negative side of a product.
Around here, many roads that will be plowed have cats eye reflectors, but they're installed in divots in the pavement rather than surface mounted. Makes the bumps from driving on the lines a bit more pronounced, but the sight lines on the reflectors are somewhat impeeded and they also collect road debris.
If you mean the Book written by Stanislav Lem, i did read that but i don't understand how you connect the Ocean with "not having the concept of numbers".
If possible, I avoid driving at night. Even if the article is focused on US status, also in Europe it's becoming a nightmare, especially if you see big trucks mounting also super-bright LEDs and everyone has Xenon/LEDs nowadays
Oh they understand it - you saw the massive price drop right?
It doesn’t help that on a lot of Porsches from hot climates headlights’ protective coating deliminates/cracks. Repairs are in hundreds, but at least it’s a known and fixable problem. Still a pain considering how much these cars cost -_-
Bing Crosby's got his work cut out.
Everyone in the car community not actively doing this also thinks it's stupid. It's objectively stupid and dangerous. The people doing it do it primarily because it's stupid and dangerous, similar to those in the "stance" community. They do it basically to get attention, even if that attention is negative, and to openly show that they have a disregard for others as for some reason American society rewards and uplifts anti-social behavior.
They do it for attention. Wearing a hat sideways looks stupid but for those who are addicted to attention, it is worthwhile. There's also a degree of chest thumping, showing that the attention seeker isn't afraid of defying society's expectations.
Nah, about 15-20%. Hillary's "basket of deplorables", as stated (IIRC "about a third" of Trump supporters was how she put it—her entire point was that most weren't actually awful). That was just true. Generous, even. The rest were along for the ride for various reasons, often because they felt compelled to vote for the candidate most likely to support a pro-life position.
Also, hotels don’t have a kitchen. Eating out for every meal isn’t something I’m going to do for any stay longer than a few days.
I don't think a hero is someone who works harder. A hero is someone who resolves a critical issue that nobody else could resolve. How many hours a day they work doesn't enter into it.

Yes, fair points.
The fact that it locks you into using their servers, does not distribute on F-Droid (only Google Play OR an APK with an insecure update mechanism), and has a completely closed-source "abusive message filter" module server side, that could functionally be used for censorship, storing messages for future decryption, or any other number of nefarious purposes - we have no idea since it's not open source (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/.gitmod...).

Additionally, you cannot distribute branded forks or Signal, and if you do fork it, your fork is not allowed to connect to Signal's "official" OWS (open whisper systems) servers - hostility to federation should be viewed with prejudice and suspicion at the very least, it suggests a vested interest in a single point of failure (or control), which goes against user interests.

What's missing in this article is that Airbnb is actually profitable now. Operating income, last 3 years[0]:

2019 - $(0.5b) (loss)

2020 - $(3.5bn) (loss)

2021 - $0.4bn (profit)

2022 - $1.8bn (profit)

Like with Uber and WeWork, these startups only look good next to market leaders when they have billions in VC capital to undercut their competitors with. Once they IPO, they're on their own, and their business practices start looking suspiciously similar to the bloated, bureaucratic incumbents they once threatened to replace.

It depends. If they were violating an existing corporate policy and got fired, there won’t be any problems for the company. Likewise if they were recording meetings with participants in California or one of the other states which require all parties to consent to recordings as those are explicitly crimes and Tesla could have the employees charged.

If the policy didn’t already exist there might be problems. You have to be squeaky clean in order to defend your job while trying to unionize in a company unfriendly to the idea.
They are also interned such that there is only one keyword by that name. It is created atomically. You can use it to create synchronized blocks in the rare case you would have to
Large shipping costs were a way to circumvent eBay's fees. They didn't charge fees on shipping costs if I recall correctly.
> versus an app you have to do download

For some, an advantage rather than just a difference.

Different strokes for different folks, of course.
That story is hilarious.

I think it highlights how difficult it is to even discuss these things. We're all using different definitions of "good" and "mastery" and "7/10" and "10/10".

Being able to adapt and pick up new things at a 7
level though - is the real FSD

This is a really interesting line of thought.

By my definition, I actually don't think this is possible, at least not for larger languages/tools/frameworks.

My reasoning is this. To be a 7 (my definition) requires time. You need to not just understand the basic premise and syntax of a language, but you need battle scars. You need to have shipped some code in that language, gotten familiar with the ecosystem of libraries, you've troubleshot production issues, and become familiar with common pitfalls and how to avoid them. You've checked out some large codebases in that language and gleaned best practices and things to avoid. You have probably also spent some time in that community, watched/attended presentations from recognized leaders, and have a sense of which way the wind is blowing.

Everything I just described takes time. I don't think even the smartest person in the world can drop in and achieve that immediately unless we're talking about a relatively simple tool.

I mean, could somebody who already knows CSS pick up TailwindCSS and be a 7 quickly? Absolutely.

Could an engineer who is new to Ruby/Kotlin/Python be a 7 quickly? Not by my definition, not by a longshot. In my experience, seasoned developers drop into existing codebases in these sorts of languages and make a mess of things at first until they get used to the ecosystem.
The biggest problem with AI safety is no one seems to care about it, when it should be regulated tighter than uranium enrichment.
That's why you fire them for being 15 seconds late when coming back from break. Or give no reason at all.
25 years at Google, 9 as CEO of YouTube, created AdSense and was a driver of the DoubleClick acquisition. Just a hell of a career. Maybe the single person who did the most for Google in that time frame?

I wonder if the traditional inflation measurements (à la shadowstats) is a more accurate indicator of inflation. Shadowstats has it well above 10%. http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/inflation-charts
I'm in BC, Canada and car inspections simply aren't a thing. In Germany where I grew up back in the day you had to get your car checked every 2 years or so and checking the alignment of headlights was one of the checks. Sure that would never fly in North America and it wouldn't help here anyway. Trucks are way too high by design.
I don't want to maximize money up the food chain. I want my job to not be a pain in the ass so I don't have to work so hard. That effectively makes me money.

Airbnb is what you get after 10+ years of low interest rates. You also get a template of behaviors seen amongst SF rental landlords: the professional landlords run a tightship and are reasonable to deal with, the landlords that inherited a singlefamily home or want to rent out their own place tend to be a neurotic bunch, just like airbnb hosts vs hotel managers.
Sheet1[10:20] looks like the list slicing syntax. Are there any issues there?
Yes, I don't like sexual/racial harassment or illegal workplace conduct, so I don't think the laws should apply in these cases.

I don't think I get the point you are trying to make unless you are just describing wiretap laws to me.
If you were going to take this in bad faith, I'm surprised that you considered "3 people died in car accident this morning" to be reporting. If you wanted to be pedantic about it, stick only to the facts, and avoid speculation/opinion, it'd have to be written like so:

"A person who our reporter spoke with who went by the name of Bob Dylan and claimed to be the coroner of James County, said that three individuals passed away recently, and he said he believes that they died due injuries similar to those involved in car accidents. Our reporter also asked the James County Sherriff's Department to corroborate, and a person who claimed to be the spokesperson for the James County Sherriff's department said that there were three individuals in a car accident last night, and they were taken to the hospital."

Anyways, I wasn't trying to write a rigorous example for each, I assumed that the reader could fill in the detailed. I just aimed to give the gist of what it should look like. You'd talk to experts, cite papers, etc.
It's the same in the UK, but that still doesn't do what I want: you can only filter by base price, so you'll get some hilariously overpriced apartments even if you search at a low price.

Depending on the exact parsing strategy it might be genuinely required (such as if the parser switches from "property mode" to "rule mode" at some point), but in this case it was just because it's kinda confusing to do so.

We removed the restriction, but still warn against it due to readability issues.
they mostly use numpy (matrix maths library).

So if you use a library for matrix multiplication, inverse, transpose, ... with a nice syntax, you're good to go.
Holden Karnofsky, the CEO of Open Philanthropy, has a blog called 'Cold Takes' where he explores a lot of these ideas. Specifically there's one post called 'Digital People Would Be An Even Bigger Deal' that talks about how this could be either very good or very bad: https://www.cold-takes.com/how-digital-people-could-change-t...

The short story obviously takes the very bad angle. But there's a lot of reason to believe it could be very good instead as long as we protected basic human rights for digital people from the very onset -- but doing that is critical.
SDL GPU Support: The Basic Idea
AirBnB is a scam and is incredibly harmful to local populations, so I am enthusiastically happy that their increased rates have resulted in so many vacancies.

I can either utilize a hotel which will take care of virtually every need I have wherever I'm at, or use an AirBnB and get stuck with doing my own housekeeping for twice the price.
> "Where do you draw the line."

This doesn't seem that difficult? Hotels have solved this for decades already - if you trash the room they can and will charge you for cleaning it up, but you are also not expected to make the place good-as-new when you leave.

As a two-sided marketplace Airbnb obviously has no direct control over hosts and has trouble enforcing consistent standards... but at the risk of being a bit sarcastic: that's Airbnb's problem, not ours as customers. Other options (aka hotels, B&Bs, etc.) in this industry have figured this out and it's simply not a problem.

PySpread is really nice! However it is the Pythonic-ist approach to spreadsheet imaginable. It makes no attempt to also support the Excel way of working. Also personally I think having an actual code pane and REPL integrated right into the app makes it a lot easier to write and test code
That would require them to change their model to a curated list of rentals as opposed to a smorgasbord of shit. They know the more quality controls they put in place will result in less available units so there really isn't a motivation to crack down on shit rentals.

Eventually when enough people stop using the platform someone in a boardroom will ask why rentals are down and someone in market research will say quality control of rentals at which some pea brained solution will be dreamt up.

Also want to point out superhosts might of been attempt to address this problem but I've routinely picked superhosts and many have disappointed.
I'm aware that there was at a certain point over a year without server code updates. I'm also aware that Signal went out of their way to discourage forks of the official clients, but I don't know if that was just Moxie or does the new CEO share the same opinion.

In any case, I don't think either of those things = Signal not being open source. Not free software? Sure, who gives a shit. But the source is there and long pause doesn't mean much to me. While it was still happening, it certainly raised my eyebrows. Now that we know it was a pause and not a full stop? Doesn't mean a thing to me.
They're planning to completely drop and delete all Google data in 90 days, once they are sure the new plan works out.

He actually has a fairly interesting segment on the reporting of strikes:

> The underlying trouble appears in the news through certain easily recognizable symptoms, a demand, a strike, disorder. From the point of view of the worker, or of the disinterested seeker of justice, the demand, the strike, and the disorder, are merely incidents in a process that for them is richly complicated. But since all the immediate realities lie outside the direct experience both of the reporter, and of the special public by which most newspapers are supported, they have normally to wait for a signal in the shape of an overt act. When that signal comes, say through a walkout of the men or a summons for the police, it calls into play the stereotypes people have about strikes and disorders. The unseen struggle has none of its own flavor. It is noted abstractly, and that abstraction is then animated by the immediate experience of the reader and reporter. Obviously this is a very different experience from that which the strikers have. They feel, let us say, the temper of the foreman, the nerve-racking monotony of the machine, the depressingly bad air, the drudgery of their wives, the stunting of their children, the dinginess of their tenements. The slogans of the strike are invested with these feelings. But the reporter and reader see at first only a strike and some catchwords. They invest these with their feelings. Their feelings may be that their jobs are insecure because the strikers are stopping goods they need in their work, that there will be shortage and higher prices, that it is all devilishly inconvenient. These, too, are realities. And when they give color to the abstract news that a strike has been called, it is in the nature of things that the workers are at a disadvantage. It is in the nature, that is to say, of the existing system of industrial relations that news arising from grievances or hopes by workers should almost invariably be uncovered by an overt attack on production.
What I’ve been told is that the carbon filter will stop absorbing VOCs after a week, regardless of how much I use the printer. Considering that some of them are carcinogens, I’m not taking any chances.

Presumably this should also hold for other carbon filters, then, but I don’t know how I would verify that.
Interesting that it's done at the county level in TN. In my experience (which, to be fair, is mostly in the Northeast where counties are pretty much irrelevant) these laws are usually made at the state level, not the county level, though your point stands when comparing states.
I remember my first day of "Intro to Operating Systems". Prof said "You will write a simple OS for x86 in Modula-2. I know none of you have ever touched Modula-2, but there's a recommended book and a TA session once a week. We will not be doing any M2 tutorial work in class. Now Lession 1...". Most people figured it out.

It does seem entirely overkill to not just install a second LED. That's how bulbs have worked for years. So instead of just adding _one_ additional LED we're going to oversize that LED and then use a high frequency driver to turn it on and off really fast?
The entire China narrative is a CIA psyop. Everywhere in the media you see China being portrayed as a massive threat, a looming threat to our national security. Every event in global politics involving China is twisted to fit this narrative by the media lapdogs of the CIA. Nothing could be further from the truth. China is extremely weak both geopolitically and in terms of leadership. It is the most geopolitically vulnerable country in the world besides Yemen et al. It has to import everything from food to intellectual goods. China poses precisely zero threat to us because China sucks.

The China balloon thing is a good example. It was an embarrassing mistake that was a result of disintegrating leadership structure in the cpp. It accomplished literally nothing and never could have. But these huge obvious questions were ignored by the media. Questions like “what did they stand to gain?” Nothing. “Was this deliberate?” Not on the part of ping. “What does this say about China?” That they are a joke of a country.

Look at mike baker on joe rogan. That’s how the CIA answered the rogan question, what are we going to do about this pesky guy who has a larger audience than cnn but isn’t a slimy media executive who would be receptive to our requests to shape the narrative around certain topics? They send in mike baker who handily fools rogan into thinking he’s just a good dude who used to be a spook. And they chit chat and once in a while, when the conversation turns to something geopolitical, mike sprinkles in some CIA narrative. Never believe anything a spook says.

The CIA and FBI are behind this thrust against disinformation. Where was this disinformation frenzy at when it comes to people believing in even more wild shit like the idea that the universe keeps track of your good and bad deeds and punishes you or rewards you accordingly? Or the belief that the position of the stars and planets determines what personality your baby will have or whether or not you’ll be given a promotion? If disinformation mattered as a principle then wouldn’t these things make liberals foam at the mouth too?

It’s so ironic that the liberal camp has become the exact opposite of what it used to be. It is the vassal of the CIA and FBI.
