That may be because Hawaii is small as tourist locations go, so hotels may be booked solid already. In many larger tourist destinations, I've found hotels to be cheaper. Not by much, but I will always take hotels over Airbnb.
> The first statement is not fact. "Not really women" according to whom?

Do you agree that they are male, though? And that they typically prefer to wear clothing and other adornments that are culturally associated with being female?

> The second statement is what is implied by Rowling's call for "biological women only restrooms".

It is not implied. The argument for excluding transwomen from female-only spaces is the same as for excluding any other male, and doesn't equate to the second statement you made.

> see Caster Semenya as an example

Caster Semenya is a male with testes, who has 5-alpha-reductase deficiency, a DSD which causes a highly undervirilized penis.

Not the best example to cite considering that Semenya has competed and won in female athletics competitions, using the strength and endurance advantages of having undergone male puberty.
Once, when I stayed in Petaluma many years ago (I think 2014 or 2015?) but it was maybe 5 minutes?

They gave us a small tour, showed us how to use some appliances (like the heater) and showed us how to use the door code, and walked through the expectations (at that time, they were simple, was happy to accomodate).

That was it.

Every time after that, nope, never once.
My team develops a platform (data.rabbu.com) thats based in large part on Airbnb data and I swear its kind of ridiculous how much hate Airbnb gets on social media. Like for one thing - compared to the other options Airbnb is doing WAY more for both hosts and guests. Try to get someone on the line at VRBO or Booking.com that cares one iota about any issues you have. Everything else is anecdotal. I think having a bad experience when you're on vacation is like 10x worse than anything else. So any bad experience with an Airbnb gets amplified and whenever people get a chance they'll go blue in the face telling you about the time some shady host tried to put them on ice and harvest their organs. Cleaning fees going up? Guess what - cleaning sucks, and the hospitality industry got completely gutted by Covid. So maybe they're not trying to rip you off, maybe they can't find anyone to clean for the price everyone stills expects based on pre-Covid travel.
IF you read the special notes about a not-too-big flash drive and FAT and all that.

IIRC I also had to try several USB ports in back and something else hacky to get the flash going. It was still half black incantation and performative dance learned from the internet, and about 5% directions provided by MSI on their website or within BIOS.

I've used Gigabyte and Asus/ASRock in the past, and I think a Biostar ... and I'll be going back to those in the future.
I avoid driving at night now specifically because of this, and I'm also thinking of getting rid of my car altogether for this and other reasons.

If I understand well the WP article about 'impact factor', it tells that in 2016 Nature was graded at 38 and Plos One at 3, so 'impact factor' might not mean too much.

I used to heavily use AirBnB. I no longer do. I don't even bother checking it. The quality of experience / stay has gone down, and the price has gone up considerably. I now expect that an AirBnB will provide a worse experience for the same or higher cost than a hotel in any location I might travel to. The only benefit an AirBnB brings is that it may provide more square footage, but this is not worth the tradeoff when traveling solo or with my wife, it only comes into account when traveling with large groups where shared accommodations would be acceptable. I have a large double-digit number of stays with AirBnB over the years, and I don't even go to their website or app anymore.

A good example is over the summer, we had an AirBnB for my wife and my step-daughter and I in Rome for a few nights. We had so many issues that when we came back through Rome on our way back home I booked a 5-star luxury hotel. The hotel ended up being cheaper than the AirBnB when you count the tacked on fees, and had none of the issues we experienced, although there was less total square footage. It was in a better location as well, and the AirBnB was far from a luxury 5-star experience. I typically stay in 2-star or 3-star lodgings when I travel, and AirBnBs are now typically worse than a 2-star offer, but charging higher than 5-star prices. It's ridiculous.
> intend to mislead

This is literally the definition of lying.
Tbh, I much rather spend money on resorts and hotels. I don't want to pay any extra fees for anything else. Last time I used one was 3 years ago. We had to cook, clean, etc... We decided to just save more and go to a resort/hotel.

Of course Airbnb has its use cases but in general, hotels are way better, and let's not talk about hidden cameras on properties, etc...
I get that CPI is calculated so carefully, but when all is said and done, I think my personal inflation being at 50% average through most of the pandemic is going to be the final settling number, and they won't admit that until 2025 I think.

In my personal opinion this was driven by the massive hiring sprees that elevated a lot of bus boys, waitresses, and other jobs to "experience officers", "diversity officers", HR positions that never existed before.

I've been applying to companies at size levels that I've worked at before that had just one HR person that was dedicated to payroll. Now there are entire teams of workers that process applications.

The average startup is operating as if it's UnitedHealth Group or something.

Now don't get me wrong, I am so glad people are getting higher paying jobs, but the pandemic causing that job rush so fast and furiously is what brought on this inflation.

Every layoff article we see where they are letting go of 15% here, 20% there, it's nothing compared to the actual 80% hiring these companies did 20-23. That 80% hiring rate IS the inflation we're seeing.

We elevated a lot of people to wages all us programmers had about 15 years ago - 90 - 120k. And of course us programmers are now asking 160 - 220k. Again, great that people are more employed and there are higher wages. However the inflation that went so fast and furiously with it - it's causing the people that aren't so lucky to quickly fall into homelessness, drug use, depression and suicide (by drug use mostly).
Postgresql, hands down. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/

And they do a great job of keeping docs for older versions available. They're on version 15 and they have back to 7.2 available.

If I can't figure out how something works in another DBMS, I usually read the comparable postgresql docs to get a good overview, and then go and re-read the docs for what I'm actually using to fill in the implementation-specific bits.

It’s one thing to build disposability into a product. I understand that part.

But it is another to design a vehicle to be prohibitively expensive and target it only at the elites.

This creates a hand-me-down effect where that vehicle then travels through owners from West to East.

Is it any wonder then that so many eurosceptic political movements have sprouted up when that one vivid status symbol difference is so visible? How are people in the East supposed to take Western commitments to green energy and equality seriously?

(Not to mention the fact that most vehicles then must have all these bizarre unnecessary low durability premium features by design.)
For anyone curious, I have a unified setup that works across my work M1 (currently bitrotting), work Ubuntu (hurrah Intune for Ubuntu!), and personal NixOS[1]. You'll probably find my mkChoose function particularly interesting[2], which makes parameterizing attrsets and lists a little easier for different hosts (I currently don't have/know a way to discriminate between Linux and NixOS, so you need to pass a function which does that[3]).

Yikes.
For everyone claiming this is great cause it’s less cold in the winter, it’s not just less cold on average it’s more chaotic. Just a week or two ago we went from 40s in New England to down to -30s with windchill and even -100 on one New Hampshire mountain. Then it was the 40s again a few days later.

Humans might be able to weather that chaos with our shelters but the plants and animals are having havoc wreaked on them with wild temperature swings like that. Especially when you have swings going from 60s to below freezing and back. I already saw certain trees by me start budding twice as they reacted to the warm weather with thinking it’s spring. They’re not dead yet but they wasted a large amount of energy on failed leaf growth that’s made them unhealthy. Then theirs the insects whose life cycles typically require storing honey and going into a low energy state or storing eggs that hatch come the warm weather. If those get totally wiped out by wild weather swings we’ll see several tropic layers of species die off as they are supported by the energy from feeding off those insects.

Or us Portuguese - up until 1974 we had PIDE (translated: International and State Defense Police); so within living memory of many in power today. They did all the things any "good" oppressive police force of a semi-fascist to fully-fascist state does: receive anonymous complaints from conspirators, arrest people and torture them for reasons ranging from the political ("being a communist") to the moral ("being homosexual"), and generally make sure everyone's lives are too miserable and filled with fear to dream of overthrowing the powers-that-be.

Our concern with privacy is so prevalent that fairly recently the collection (and subsequent usage) of metadata by police was deemed unconstitutional[1]. This was met with a lot of complaints by investigators, and while there's some sectors pushing for a constitutional revision, this seems unlikely at the moment, but not entirely off the table.

There's no reason to think you must be profitable renting out a house by the night, or that you'll be efficient running a one client hotel that relies on a site like airbnb that has been in serious decline for some time.
Straight news reporting has no lower level, short of your going out and talking to the same kind of people the reporter did.

Commentary can have such citations. Investigative journalism might have citable passages in part, but ultimately, a lot of journalism is itself a primary source. There's nothing to cite, beyond whatever attribution is given for e.g. quotes in the piece itself (which won't be some hyperlink you can go check). Journalists create the things that others cite. If they could produce what they need mainly by reading and citing, they wouldn't be journalists.

> Where do you draw the line.

I don’t think it’s that hard. You have some reasonable cleaning procedure that you always do (quick vacuum, make the bed, tidy up, etc.) and any problems beyond that you charge the guest extra. Of course you could quibble about the exact details but it seems like a stable situation for hotels.
Yup, it should not be surprising that the 1978 SAFARI scandal that resulted in the creation of the French data protection authority happened when the government attempted (and had to stop) to link various then paper databases into a centralized one through a single social security number.
$300/night is more than most hotels charge with a lot of amenities and service. If you don't want to pay the handyman charges to reset the router, you can go and do it yourself for free. You're paying for convenience of not having to do it yourself and that cuts into profit.
An indirect answer, here are the components of good docs I think about:

1. Reference docs that describe the behavior of the thing and the API

2. Example code and tutorials that show you how to use the thing

3. Architecture docs that describe how the thing works at a high level and how you integrate it into your system

4. Operational docs to tell you how to run the thing in production with backups, monitoring, debugging, and scaling

5. FAQ and anything else

Lots of docs tend to focus on only a few of these. But you've got really great docs when you bring these all together.

Which number are you looking at? 18 W idle for a 5900X is very low. 30-40 W is typical for these. Your system is probably not configured correctly, is using slow RAM or you're looking at something other than package power.

I've also struggled with this question since working in industry. There isn't an objective answer to this. I think it largely depends on the narrative you tell yourself about the work you do.

IMO, the "meaningful", tangible problems in the world today are social problems. Most programming jobs _are_ the same from this point of view because as engineers, we make tools. We can hope that these tools are used for "good", but at the end of the day, they are existentially and morally neutral.

That being said, I think cybersecurity is a safe bet. Or sacrifice the 200k and go the teaching route.

It depends. I've stayed at many regular B&Bs over the years and many hosts try to make you feel at home. And, generally speaking, they're a more distinct experience than a business hotel is--though when traveling on business I tend to go with the hotel for predictability, 24 hour desk, etc.

The difference is the complexity of the concepts involved. There are predictable results when you e.g. combine and filter light spectra, stack several lenses and mirrors to make a telescope, mix two chemicals, put electric circuit components together, or perform a well-defined sequence of knitting stitches, but describing them is more difficult than whole-number arithmetic.
Well, yes... even in a hotel if you trash the place you're going to get charged extra. But that's not AirBNB. AirBNB hosts are usually upset if they have to clean anything at all.

It found that 130 million adults in the country have low literacy skills, meaning that more than half (54%) of Americans between the ages of 16 and 74 read below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level, according to a piece published in 2022 by APM Research Lab.

You should use stylelint anyway and then you can set `max-nesting-depth`

https://stylelint.io/user-guide/rules/max-nesting-depth/

I mean, these days almost every JS developer use some kind of linter - why would you not use a linter for CSS? Literally nothing to lose since you can set the rules as relaxed as you want.

PS: I set it to 3 - Using good convention like SuitCSS I have never found I needed more nesting. Usually you think about a problem and find a simpler way to do it.

https://github.com/suitcss/suit/blob/master/doc/naming-conve...

TLDR If you use any of the good practices for CSS such as BEM or BEM-like you don't have lots of nesting anyway.

And I like how the article mentions as an example `ul article ul` and how to solve it by adding a symbol :is() to be able to nest, and it's literally the one thing you don't want to do anyway, which is a selector like `ul article ul` (as per BEM methodology). Instead `.list .article .article-list` as a veyr poor example doesn´t need the special "fix" the article mentions.
