Sounds like they’re focusing on the suburban market instead. Related to rising crime in the cities maybe?
One danger of chargebacks: companies may ban your account or otherwise treat your activity as fraud. It can be extremely difficult to get through to a person to correct the situation.

I know a couple folks who still can't use Lyft, for instance, because they charged back an NYC Citibike subscription. You can allegedly cancel a Citibike subscription by contacting customer support — but after no response, they issued a chargeback and Lyft banned them a couple days later. Since the accounts are tied to the phone number, they simply can't use the service.

Support actually managed to reverse the ban for a few days, but then it was re-triggered (presumably by some automated system).
Isn't it fraudulent though? They didn't even use the service.
Never been in Panama, but my experience in Colombia was similar: in warmer areas hot water just was not a thing - homes, hostels, hotels just did not have it, without special notice. "Yeah, the temperature outside is above 30C all year round, why would you need more heat?". To be fair, the "cold" water was not really cold either, 25-30C or so, so showering with that was not unpleasant.

Not sure whether things are similar in Panama, but it could very well be. If so, it's cultural barrier, not malignacy.
At the risk of nitpicking: iatrogensis isn't confined to the very thing the intervention intends to address; it can be any condition induced at the cost of treatment.

Blinding a patient during eye surgery to remove a tumor is an iatrogenic outcome, for example.
To my non-native speaker ear, “a lot” indicates the strength the emotion (“very upset”), while “kind of” is a defensive wording indicating lack of objectivity or surety (“not saying it’s objectively annoying, but it does upset me”). It shows up a lot, in my experience, when people are talking about something anecdotal or subjective.
I've never been a host so can't speak for multiple listings, though there seem to be a ton of services that try to market to multichannel listing, so "never" seems a pretty strong word here?

But, if the interwebs are correct, airbnb has 7 mil rentals, booking - 6 mil rentals (vacation specifically, not hotels) and vrbo - 2 mil

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make because it sounds like you disagree with my comment, but all of your points support my argument
Am I missing something? Why didn’t the author just say yes he was staying as well? In fact he was going to be there at check in, just not sleeping there. Do you really think they’ll check the bed to see if you’re in it every night?

The host is not your friend, if you’re doing anything odd with an Airbnb it’s best to just be quiet and not divulge more info than what is necessary.
You don't need patent enforcement for hybrid crops, which is pretty much every seed other than soybeans which is an heirloom crop. Corn has major hybrid vigor, so only a totally ignorant farmer would try to replant harvested corn. Corn seeds are made by crossing two heirloom corn varieties at a seed farm, e.g. Southern Dent is crossed with Northern Flint (both are about 5 feet tall and make small ears), to make hybrid corn which grows about 8 feet tall and has massive ears. When you sell seeds, you don't get access to the heirloom plants needed to make the seed. No need for patents.

With soybeans however, they breed true as heirlooms. The GMO beans were sold with the promise that farmers don't use the crop as seeds. Since everything other than soybeans are hybrids, the issue is largely moot.
My doctor uncle told me how people want targeted injection even though "the stuff will spread to the whole body anyway". He says "it makes them feel good so we do it that way."
Great, as if there wasn't enough just world fallacy bs over layoffs, now those people have to deal with this too.
Perhaps take AirBnb or the "host" to small claims court
Maybe to you it seems like an unusual situation, but to people who maybe don't travel very much, "booking a room for my spouse" isn't something they'd think is "unusual". It's a little absurd that it's "unusual", in fact.
> That said... I don't know how the _new_ system will work at fighting that privilege -- there are still lots of ways for it to disguise itself. But we have to at least acknowledge the issues with the SAT.

I'm in favor of using tests like that SAT as cheaper diagnostic tests, to help with student placements and accommodations, not for admissions. It's too bad this is being lost with the removal of the testing requirements, but I guess it doesn't matter much as the tests were never used this way in the first place, despite providing this information. https://cepa.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/ACT%20Paper%20... (note that I don't agree with the conclusions of this paper, merely the identified diagnostic criteria)

> This is about diversity of skills and diversity of learner profiles

I might believe that if I didn't believe that the diversity would mostly be token, with the majority of students in selective schools fitting a handful of templates.
> Do "secure keystores" just not exist?

Probably not if we consider threat models evolving in the same userspace as where they're implemented (eg as cited: keyloggers and malicious native programs).

HSMs may provide an entrypoint to the "root of secrecy" problem, though the way they interface with the system now becomes the single point of defense.

You've done all the work only to be caught out by automated AI recognition[1] later.

Low stakes should probably be fine but to anyone using it for something important at least do the old rewrite-to-not-be-plagiarism trick.

I have to imagine there's going to be a lot of people regretting using GPT shortcuts soon. It'll be the equivalent of copy pasting Wikipedia by the end of the year I bet.

The next big Google search ranking update should be fun too with all the AI content mills popping up right now. If you see your rival using AI for their blog posts, start writing real content in preparation :D

Allemagne's name is appealingly populist, though I suppose not much different from how all the "primitive" tribes' names also just mean "the people". You might even eat Allemansratten there -- though you might do better in their northerly neighbor, where the traditions lived a little longer. Eat it next to the hearth on Freya's-day.

One version of your question that's interesting to me is that of translating people's names, rather than countries'. This seems not to be what people do -- but why not?

There are the obvious correspondences across European languages, like with William and Guillermo. But I suppose a tweedy old Brit named Reginald could even become Rajesh when he visits Delhi, given the shared meaning and etymology. He might take to it happily.

I suppose you're generally better served by keeping your native pronunciation, so long as the people around you can more-or-less say it, because it will be more unique in your new location, and give you some appeal of the exotic. In England, who would you reckon to be sexier -- "Katherine" or "Katerina"?

Some names can be translated in meaning, but there is no shared etymology. For example, the Frenchman "Pierre" might take the name "石" ("Shi") in China. Would this make sense? There is the added complication that the latter is more likely to be a surname than a given name. I wonder what Dwayne Johnson thinks.

If there is no pronunciation at all for your name, you may become "formerly know as Prince" (there's Raj again), deposed by choice and deadnamed by necessity.

I suppose direct translation was commonly done with Native American names. We remember "Sitting Bull", not "Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake". On the other hand, we remember the Patuxet man nicknamed "Squanto" -- given name "Tisquantum", you can see how it's a longer form -- and not "spiritual power of Manitou" (the exact translation is sketchy, but the meaning seems to be something like that). And of course, "Manitou" can also be translated, so we might even say "Power of God". Perhaps "Manitoba" is "God's Country".

Allowing semantic meaning to penetrate an ethnic boundary may be fraught with controversy. Here you're playing with sacred words. Of course, after studying the Greek Titans for a while, you realize that each is simply a noun. Gaia is Earth. Chronos is Time. They are not separate characters. They are the ideas. So maybe all words are sacred. Yet here I am spelling them.

Likewise "pho" is just "soup", but outside Vietnam it's more than that. Likewise "chai" -- at home it's "tea", but abroad it's a particular style of tea. Likewise probably every food there is. And they become jealousy-guarded totems of identity. "What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child?", asks Lin Yutang.

Or, should I say, asks "forest language temple", or perhaps, "sacred forest library". (Nominative determinism much?)

I would like to meet this German who insisted on saying only "Deutschland" though. I imagine he would also insist that anything with more than the Reinheitsgebot's 4 ingredients is not "beer". He would drive a Volkswagen and brag about its double-clutch. He would be a great character. I'd watch that TV show.
Wouldn't ipfs be a good fit for this?

Low sensitivity and no acceleration means it takes a very long time to move from one side of screen to the other. I guess I really don't fill in many forms where I can't tab between fields. But many of my habits also predate mainstream availability of GUIs...
> I will ask them to write me a 15-page essay

I have my own list of questions. If they answer all of them I have a pretty good idea if I'm the guy for the job. The most wonderful part is figuring out if it is an employer is looking for initiative or obedience. If you are running a sheep farm it can be very exciting to see initiative.
I took a year sabbatical in 2008 and it was one of the highlights of my life. I backpacked through parts of India, South America and Africa. I had a very strong desire to travel and see more of the world so it fulfilled that need for me (without spending a lot of money). I feel incredibly lucky that I was in a position to be able to it. Career wise it didn't change my trajectory very much - I came back fresh and highly motivated again. The only caveat to this is that sometimes it turns out that work is not the core issue (although maybe it is easier to have clarity on this after an extended break) and if so probably time to think about starting therapy.
Amazon bought Whole Foods because there's massive overlap between Prime members and Whole Foods shoppers.

Amazon bought One Medical because there's massive overlap between Prime Members and One Medical members.

Look at convenience store shoppers and Prime members, and I don't think there's massive overlap between those customer bases.

I don’t see how that addresses the claim “The power bill savings aren't worth the decreased hardware life.”

It might even be the case that, if you bought a replacement six years ago and kept that powered on 24/7, you would have ended up paying less in (hardware+power).
Makes me feel really young! Happy timetravel \(^_^)/
Look into CBT, which would usually give the patient some tasks (jotting notes when the problem they seek help for happens and how problematic/stressful it is on a 1-5 scale, what happens when they apply some breathing techniques to cope with it, what happened before/after, etc.). Also, phobia treatment where the therapist can walk with you on a bridge to help you overcome fear of height, etc.

More broadly though, the conversation you can have with a therapist has a lot more going on than a regular discussion. Without getting into the details of every school I think it's fair to say that these conversations are guided in subtle and not subtle ways to lead the patient to introspection and self-reflection much more than a drink between buddies at a bar would (which is usually what people on HN tend argue when criticizing talk therapies). Therapists have to assess where the patient stands and feel how far the patient can be pushed to change their outlook on a situation or accept it.

Put in another way: a debate is also more than a discussion, same applies to therapy.
If you're in the military, no public transport will ever be right, precisely because it's public.

But:

1) Mass transport isn't necessarily public. If there's a base with one town nearby where even just 20 of the people working on that base live, that's a good reason for a private bus.

2) Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good-enough. The military is even more of an edge case than emergency vehicles, and yet nobody seriously thinks normal people should get sirens and flashing lights on their commute to get past red lights. You get to keep whatever you need to do your job, because obviously you do.
He should have just stayed the nights then if it was that important and he would be there anyway. And then misplace his frozen fish in a vent somewhere.
> As an analogy, my physical fitness is totally in my control: if I work out more, I'll build more muscle. But you'd never say "Why are you even going to the gym if your fitness is within your control?"

This isn't a good analogy. A gym is a mere building. I wasn't referring to schools as mere buildings, the walls, the halls, the roofs. I was referring to schools as the places where the students meet the teachers.

> Students can learn in other ways, too, and any kind of learning will be measured on these tests.

How successful do you expect most children would be with entirely self-directed learning? No teachers, no tutors, not even parents. That's what I meant. I wouldn't expect that to work well, with only rare exceptions. Students — who by definition and nature lack experience, lack knowledge, are ignorant — need guidance, and thus the quality of the schools, the quality of the teaching is crucial. Nothing is totally in the control of the student, nor should it be, for the student's own good.

I haven't seen any description of an immutable distro that has given me the impression that I would want to use it. I install a Debian stable GNOME desktop and some extra applications via apt. Then I get on with my work. I don't have to worry about rolling back to stable environments because updates never break my system.
This is called the third variable problem. It occurs when unobserved variables account for a correlation in studied variables.

Virtually every correlation study can be criticized through this method. Modern correlation studies 'account for' or 'control for' all observed variables in an attempt to prevent criticism along this line. This type of correlation study exists essentially to say "this correlation is interesting", and spark investigation as to why they are correlated.

Sociology is primarily correlation studies because of the logistical and ethical challenges around experimentation. For example, if we could force a randomly selected group of males to be unemployed we could avoid the third variable problem and establish causation. However no ethics review board would consider "I'm curious if your marriage will survive" a valid reason to fire someone.

I offer my experience, but also proffer that any advice coming from people's prior experience (including mine) may not serve you well, given how the pandemic has changed many aspects of the modern-day relationship between employers and employees. So that should be a bias you consider when considering my own, or other people's, advice.

That caveat having been provided: I did something similar approximately 20+ years ago, and found it was to my detriment. Employers traditionally look at 'gaps' in a resume and question you about them, asking what you did during that time. It seems to be part of the capitalistic intent of wanting to make sure all of your time is spent productively. Even gaps that correspond to worldwide economic downturns sometimes are questioned by people who have short memories.

But to perform yet another 180-degree turn: certain decisions shouldn't always be made with the utmost arbitrer being how it affects one's career. Health - both mental/emotional health and physical - is the utmost of importance. More cerebral people sometimes tend to shrug that aside because they have an incorrect perspective that their mind chooses where their body goes, that they are "driving their meatpuppet." In reality, the body is equally capable of calling a full-stop and has a very symbiotic relationship with our mood. It can't be ignored.

Anyway, my $0.02 FWIW.
> the problem is how the profits from the saved labour are shared around society

Not really. You can take an Econ 101 class to see that high profits will lead to more competition which leads to lowering of prices... which kills the excess profits and results in higher consumer surplus.

There are scenarios of market failures, where you might have a monopolistic entity but we have safety checks for that too with anti-trust policy.
For homelab or self hosting, Power per watt is my favourite measure now.

Depending on your need (many apps just idle most of the time) a usff pc can make an excellent proxmox server.

Check out a Lenovo m920q, Dell Optiplex 7060, HP EliteDesk or ProDesk 800 series. They are easy enough to bump to 64G of ram and stack up as you need. The 8700T cpu is a desktop grade in a small shell and watt footprint and also has vpro and hyperthreading.

It’s not a rack server but it’s easy enough to add a Mac Studio/Mini soon enough for crunching.

I have spent too much time with full rack server gear and using it a can seem like a matter of preference before need. It’s heavy, hungry, noisy, and my better half didn’t like when I brought the leftover data centre stuff home.

The USFF boxes are near silent and sip electricity.
Heck, years ago Uber used to ban you for having an old credit card on the account and trying to book a ride - no warning that the payment method had a problem, just boom, banned. Procedure for resolving was apparently sending a picture with the physical card (showing just the last 4 digits) that was on the account, but since it'd been changed months before I didn't have it and didn't care enough to pursue unbanning.

I think the card was replaced after a Home Depot breach, but not sure. Was definitely in or prior to 2015.
// The study sounds like it is trying to blame the problem on the suffers (the "contagion" of their depression), but the obvious explanation of this is that by hiring from organizations with high stress, you're likely to be hiring perpetrators

Really strong disagree. In every company I've worked at (4 so far) the level of mental illness I can observe among coworkers is directly related to who was hired, not what we do with them.

As an obvious example, I worked at a hedge fund that strongly filtered for resilience, ability to overcome obstacles, and desire to grow through tough feedback. Almost everyone I worked with there was rational, calm, and sane as a consequence.

At other places where mental attributes weren't considered (so let's say a pure tech interview that doesn't amp up the scenario) you could watch the "crazy" come out of the woodwork there moment something triggered it. And I think specifically you could see them feeding on each other's anxiety in the Slack hangouts, blind, etc.

At some point, seeing 400 people have a meltdown about the layoffs that happened, on daily basis for months, takes a toll on you that's worse than the impact of the layoff itself. So yes I see the chorus of crazies impact everyone negatively.
Government do get into the business of keeping markets competitive. That is one of the drivers for regulation. You will note, Qantas isn't the only domestic airline in Australia.

Did you not read the part where the ‘aristocracy’ pays way more tuition money for their one child? If you weren’t so focused on class warfare, you’d realize all of that extra money can be used for other things such as scholarships for families who wouldn’t be able to afford a university education for their children. The people you’re referring to wouldn’t be able to afford tuition before the rate hikes, and they sure would be in a worse position post tuition hike
In your high level logic you can treat memory addresses 17 bits and transform them into 64 bit memory addresses on actual load but that doesn't mean the architecture uses 17 bit memory addresses it just means you're generating the addresses on the fly.

> It's still possible the verification happens pre-MMU

It's also possible there is a teapot in orbit between Earth and Mars but as far as actual x86 CPUs they don't deal with MARs (memory address registers) which would have that kind of logic, which is probably a good thing given all the different memory modes multiplied by the number of registers you can use. There are AGUs in newer x86 CPUs (well at least Intel, I assume in AMD) which offload common memory offset calculations but they take and return the standard register load size.

That only 48 bits are only used for any functionality is a fair description though, assuming we're still excluding newer 57 bit CPUs. The main thing I was taking issue with was your initial statement "With 48 bits as a hard limit of what fits into a register" not how many bits of the register or memory address are functionally meaningful.
not only modern Europe itself is the consequence of war, but so are its individual nation states. Bismarck explicitly engineered the three so-called unification wars because he believed that German unity was only achievable while facing an enemy, hence the symbolic founding of the nation in Versailles.

Same is true for America really. The country transformed twice, once through civil war and then into a superpower with a modern state during World War II. Military competition and war both internal and external are by far the strongest drivers of modernization.
