I think it suffered from a cobra problem to an extent. Airbnb was saying "rent out your spare square footage on the side for some beer money" and that model worked fine for a time. People would rent out a room for $50 a night and that would be great for them, because it was $50 they didn't have before that they wouldn't have made otherwise, and it was great for guests because it meant they could pay $50 and not be in a smoky motel.

Now we have people breeding cobras instead of being paid for cobras they already have so to speak. You have people building entire apartments with plans to put the entire thing on airbnb. Suddenly $50 a night doesn't cut it when you have a huge loan to pay off on that build, then if enough people in the market are operating like this prices just go up and up just like the wider landlord rental market (relative to the polite couple renting a backroom for way under market rate market, perhaps). You have people buying property and renovating it just to justify higher rental income, which only serves to feed the beast without creating any new supply in the market of course.
The point isn't to convince you to use rust, it's to explain based on my experience why the phenomenon that's been observed occurred.

I can say from my personal life that I have avoided or actively gone to stores based on similar perceptions, and tend to analyze the same information whenever joining a new online community.
Heinlein might be the kind of person to genuinely believe that. He also was the kind of person who would write a book as an excuse to write a manifesto. Starship Troopers was just him bitching about "kids these days"

I think if they fixed the homeless problem and converted some of the now unused office buildings to apartments it would go a long way. Think there's a real chance that could happen?
Is that actually true? They still might be using you for demographic details, and indirectly targeting ads at you for things you can't easily block.
No - the "recall" here is an OTA software update already scheduled for release. Availability remains exactly the same as far as I'm aware, and existing systems still function until updated.

FWIW, NHTSA "recalls" are often OTA software updates nowadays rather than something the vehicle or feature has to be taken off road for to fix or update. The NHTSA legislation from the 60s was drafted when cars didn't have software and any fix/"recall" likely required "recalling" the car to a shop for a mechanic to perform the change.

> As long as installing PWAs requires user initiation with actions in the browser chrome, and can't be initiated by a link in site content, that shouldn't be a problem with PWAs.

And that’s all anyone is asking for, which would make PWAs equal to native apps in that regard.

Your fervent opposition higher in the thread seems like a different position.
Nah, never the whole job. Software engineering isn't 100% writing code, so even if an AI could write 100% of the code, there's still all of the other things around it that need to get done.

I am actually super excited for better AI tools to help write so much of the boilerplate crap I have to write. I'm here because I want to solve problems, not write code, and writing less code makes me happy.
From what I've read, they do exist, but have never been successful in catching anyone.
Meh, the term recall conjures images of vehicles having to be taken back to the dealership to get repaired, replaced, or refunded. The recall announced here is just an over the air software update.

It's worth pointing this out.
> I'm not convinced at this point that conversational AI fills any legitimate use cases.

Silly opinion. This is the first wave of conversational AI, and you are calling it quits. This is like "I own a Model T and I'm 100% convinced we'll never make a better vehicle."

The use case, at minimum, is: customer support, answering phones, taking orders. Trained on specific data sets and told not to veer outside. Within one, maybe two more iterations of AI (maximum) we will be there 110%.

ChatGPT was released widely this year, and there are so many absolute statements about what AI will or won't do. It's frankly silly and maddening.
If Tesla replaced the actual computer that runs the software that they're recalling, would you consider that a recall? What if there was no actual physical fault with the computer, but it just had firmware flashed to a chip that couldn't be reflashed?

I'm looking at a piece of mail right now that's an official recall notice for a different make/model of car I own. The issue? Improperly adjusted steering components. The company is offering to make the correct adjustments for free. Nothing is being replaced.

Whether the recall is to replace a poorly designed physical component, or to make an adjustment, or to apply a software update doesn't make a difference to regulators.

A recall is a legal process that's designed to encourage manufacturers to fix safety issues while also limiting their liability. Companies avoid recalls if they can because it's costly, time consuming, and isn't good PR. But it's worth it if the issue is bad enough that it risks a class action lawsuit, or individual lawsuits, and most desirable when someone like the US government is demanding a recall or risk legal consequences.

When a company issues a recall, they make their best effort to notify consumers of the issue, provide with clear descriptions of how consumers can have the issue fixed, and make it clear that it will be paid for by the manufacturer. In return, the manufacturer is granted legal protections that drop their risk of being sued to nearly zero.
I would say just do it. Towards the start of covid I looked at my employee stock awards program for the first time in a decade and realized I was pretty rich, so I quit. Now I spend my time with my wife and children and I work on the random projects that interest me. It's very low stakes programming, a few hundred stars on github, a bug opened by a random person every few months, and I run a couple websites that see hundreds of visitors a month. Getting into creating TikTok videos as well. I enjoy it.

I don't understand how it's hard to give up the FAANG compensation. Do you want money for the sake of having more money? Personally, I want money to enable me to do things that I want to do in life, which are the things I listed above. Once I had enough I stopped trying to get more.
No, they "started" doing it the day after a fake spy balloon was shot down, it's narrative not truth (and actually soviet balloons predate everyone else by about 60 years)
> how did the driver allow that car to come to a full stop in that situation? ... Even if you were on your phone, you'd feel the unexpected deceleration, a quick glance would show that there was no obstruction

In all honesty, I'd probably spend a few seconds trying to figure out "what does the car see that I don't?" and let it come to a stop. Maybe it's a catastrophic system failure that I can't see. Maybe it's an obstacle headed into my path that hasn't gotten my attention. If my reflexive reaction is supposed to be to distrust the car's own assessment of the situation, then the system isn't good enough yet.
You claim that I said that we should ignore evidence, but I didn't. I claimed that we should look at it.

You claim that I said that we should focus on the good, but I didn't. I claimed that we should look at the data.

Now I feel as if you are trying to argue that looking at data is wrong because not all decisions should be made on the basis of the data. This seems inconsistent to me with your previous assertion that my ignoring data was bad, because now you argue against your own previous position.

That said, uh, datasets related to bayesian priors support your assertions about deference in decision making. So you could, if you cared to, support that claim with data. It would contradict your broader point that I should not want to have data, but you could support it with data and I would agree with you, because contrary to your assertion I was making an argument for evidence informed statements. Your inference about whether I think the evidence leans should not be taken as an argument that I believe my positions would always be what was reached by looking at the evidence, because I don't think that is true. I'm obviously going to be wrong often. Everyone is.

Unfortunately, I think you lie too much and shift your goalposts too much. So I'm not going to talk to you anymore.
ATC is not meant for general reception. radio stations, weather/navigation broadcasts, amateur radio bands, etc. are intended for general reception. ATC is intended for airport staff and aircraft, so it is technically illegal to listen to it in the UK.

> 3) It's a way for hosts (and Airbnb) to skirt taxes. This is the real reason Airbnb doesn't want to punish the practice.

Why would shifting payment from nightly cost to cleaning fee have an effect on the hosts' tax liability? If they actually pay someone that much to clean the place, they get to deduct it from their business income either way. What you call it doesn't matter.

I would be curious if Airbnb takes a cut of the cleaning fees, or only the nightly rate. I could see how that might differ, and if so that it would incentivize hosts to shift toward the cleaning fees.
I also am a huge fan of EFISTUB. EFISTUB is basically the only way of making secure boot work in a sane way for Linux - include the initramfs in the kernel and sign the whole thing with your secure boot keys. You don’t even need to compile the kernel, you can use dracut to package everything up yourself.

We are also on a grandfathered in family plan.

Converted my under 8$ dollar Google Play Music plan to 14$ family plan for my Wife, and they honored that 14$ cost when YTM rolled out.

While unlikely, I have been hoping for some sort of "we changed our mind" PR statement from Google on this before we switch to a family Spotify come April.

The price hike doesn't hurt on our monthly finances, but considering the 12 month cost vs features compared to Spotify... it does hurt. Why pay more for less.

Like others are saying, the no ads Youtube is fantastic. We do use adblockers on all of our devices, but it's hard to do on Google Homes, casting to Chromecasts, and Youtube Kids.

I am prepared to go Firefox + Ublock/Brave on my Android phone if I do go Spotify though....

It looks like it will be able to do every non-programming office job first.
I don't know why it surprises you that it costs a lot of money to research, develop, manufacture, store, distribute, and maintain low-volume cutting edge weapons technology using expensive all-American components and labor. The fact that a babysitter is paid less than the cost of a missile seems pretty unrelated. And if you think you can build a sidewinder for under $30k, please go right ahead, the country needs you.
The pitot and static are usually redundant.

In the case of Aeroperu, it was being serviced, and so _all_ the static ports were taped over with duct tape. Which is an extremely unusual maintenance procedure and resulting failure mode, and in flight you wouldn't expect all of them to fail simultaneously, even after an impact with an foreign object.

And critically, in their case, the ground radar warning system was working; however, due to all the other failures and alarms occurring on the flight deck, they did not notice or did not pay attention to this alarm.

Modern aviation is so filled with redundancies and double checks that most disasters are the result of a long sequence of chained failures, and not due to a single piece of equipment becoming inoperative.
Anybody worrying that programmers loose jobs stop worrying.

All the automation in the world does not replace the need for people to debug problems.

Even more interestingly, the more something is automated the more time is spent on solving the issues when they happen. Finding a simple mistake in a very complex automation can be a challenging project.

But... if you have been programming Cobol your entire life you might want to start learning some newer technology.

There is more cost savings than you might think in a simplified wiring harness.
Some 3rd party organization builds the harness, then it ships to the manufacturer, where it is usually installed by humans.

Besides the material savings of less actual wire, you most likely have labor savings on the harness build, and possibly on the installation if the new harness is easier to install based on the reduced overall weight and complexity.

The networking methodology side would likely not be overly complex. We already have CANbus device networks, and the associated software stacks. Changing to an ethernet based approach is a well-understood transition that would not require major changes, at least not beyond the incremental updates and other things that the engineers are already likely to be working on.
IIRC, systemd-boot relies on EFISTUB. It's just a boot manager, not a boot loader. One EFI application calling another.

For trivial setups (one kernel that keeps getting updated in-place), a boot manager is not required. For more sophisticated setups (version in kernel file name or Nix style system versions or whatever), a boot manager is very convenient.

Have you considered telling this to these "senior members"? I.e "I want to remain an IC. I don't want to be a TL".
More accurately, it's whether the word that comes after starts with a vowel sound. This is why `an 'istoric` is correct, and `a historic` is correct, but `an historic` is incorrect (as famously used by Steven Colbert).

Transcript of IRC channel #electronics:

Mordae: Hi. So I was designing a transformerless LED bulb and I was wondering about the filter capacitor. What happens when the load (one of the LEDs) fail?

Rampant: Hi Mordae. It really depends on the design, but the general idea is that the filter capacitor will help prevent spikes and other issues caused by the failing LED. It can also help with voltage regulation.

---

Actual answer: Light bulb needs a bulky electrolytic cap. Those are usually not 400V tolerant. You are looking at 60V at best at the required sizes. Losing the load will swiftly charge up the capacitor to 325V. But well before that happens, there are going to be fireworks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WUxgmMDts4

I'm trying to figure out what Apple is doing. The Apple Watch drove the need for the AirPod. I imagine the Apple Eye(?) would be the screen for the Apple Watch? Could it make a virtual touch screen interface that you could use and you could use your Apple Watch like an iPad? I suppose you could use it with your phone too? That might have some utility but I'm skeptical. But I could see Apple marketing this as an Apple Watch accessory.

Bonus points if they can also market it as eye safety, i.e. the material is such it can protect your eyes like safety glasses. Even more bonus points if you can select your frames (think watch bands) and I can replace my prescription glasses and sunglasses. These are the things that might make this economically viable and attract consumer interest.

I'm still skeptical.

My first tech job had a small bookshelf dedicated to programming resources and business perspectives. I remember some MySQL and PHP books, and also Edward De Bono's "Six Thinking Hats" being in there

Another employer had a book sharing Slack channel where people would share ebooks related to programming and software development

Yet another one, which was completely remote, had an ebook service where you could request any ebook you wanted from Amazon, be it work-related or not, and they would order it for you for free. Everyone had a pretty healthy mix of work- and non-work-related items from what I remember

All in all, I think over half of my employers in the tech field have had some kind of library or book service of some kind

They do! If you define a function that does not take a parameter it is all fine, but we introspect if you do and if so, pass on an event object:

def on_dropdown_change(value, event):
event.cell.set_background_color(value * 50 + 100, 100, 100)

would change the cell with the drop down's background color based on the value selected
