Its been a long time since I used AirBnB, but when I started, basically everyone lived at the home we were going to. You went into someone's actual home, actually decorated, with recommendations from people who actually live there.

Now, you didn't have 100% privacy, but back then, I just wanted a cheap place to stay.

Since then, AirBnB are just commercial properties.
I'm more indifferent than hostile, but you don't need to become an admin. You do, however, have to find the instance that's right for you, and that will take effort.

The only thing I would have a problem with them doing with my data is exploiting it; the idea that they delete it after a period is a selling point for me if it's anything.
I too can break into my own house when I leave a door wide open for myself. There is nothing wrong with logrotate, ubuntu, ssh, or sudo here.

Once you are passing arbitrary strings to bash as root -- yeah it's gonna be game over. This reminds me of the time a pentester found an XSS vuln and spent the entire rest of the engagement stuffing a keylogger into it. Like, OK, thanks, we already understand the implications of XSS.

The solution provided is suboptimal because all the focus is spent in making a good exploit demo instead of considering the root cause(s): the configuration of ssh, sudo, and the godawful shell script the author dredged up from parts unknown.

As I have seen this style of script being used with forced commands in authorized_keys, my conclusion is that the author loosely followed some online guide for restricting SSH access to certain commands and either inherited the flawed original script or made the error adapting it to the local requirements.

Proper options for restricting the shell abound. From the top of my head: rssh, sshdo, PolicyKit, rbash, rush

Graduate school, MS at Harvard & MIT, PhD at UIUC.

Both my MS and PhD supervisors were brilliant and strongly believed in publishing only when they had something real to talk about, which I respected a lot. But it was clear this wasn't what the top professors were doing. They were running paper mills.

Elec engineering & CS.

I don't work there, although I was offered several positions. This culture is pretty much why I chose industry. In the real world, most customers care about real achievements.

The people you describe as incels don't have an ideology.

If they do, then any group of people with a common set of complaints and frustrations has an ideology (such as black people? women? men? our military is an ideology now?). At that point the word ceases to have any useful meaning.

What is it with people nowadays wanting to apply words that are wholly inappropriate?

apparently being frustrated that women won't sleep with you is fascism?
I agree that we have no need for vengance against the criminal.

But the fact that SBF would do it again is not a case for vengance/punishment, but for deterrence. And, frankly, it's harder to launch your next scam while you're currently incarcerated.

I hear you saying "I don't want vengance, but…", but there's actually no contradiction there. You want deterrence and to prevent recidivism.

And merely taking all his money, and all his parents money, is not actually a deterrence. But that doesn't mean prison is vengence/punishment for punishment's sake.
Sorry if I sounded sarcastic. That was not my intention.
> lacking space for affordable residential property

We are not space constrained. Like in California, housing shortage is a policy choice by New York’s voters. (In this case, we chose to shift some of the burden onto tourists versus property owners.)
For me it’s the price of single occupancy.

I’ve spent a lot of time nomadic freelancing in the past 10 years. In most cities around the world, a room on Airbnb is about the same price as a bed in a hostel. And a hotel is usually double the price.

My needs as a traveller are certainly less important than those of the residents in the cities I visit. Nonetheless, I still lament, as the ever-growing ban on Airbnbs effectively kills the nomadic lifestyle.

The answer to that depends entirely on the success rate.

Over 11 years in the workforce, my success rate with applying to ATS-like platforms on company websites is 0%. And even just getting a rejection is in the neighborhood of 5-10%.

So with those numbers do you still think 2.5 minutes is a lot of time? 2.5x500 applications is ~21 hours of applying to jobs.

With recruiters on LinkedIn, my success rate is roughly 80% to 1st interview, 60% to second and 20% to getting an offer.

> I personally wouldn't keep my private photos on a public network, but everyone is different.

Well, that's exactly the problem, isn't it? IPFS could be extremely useful for local and private storage, as it provides a network file system with proper directories, an optional HTTP interface, content addresses and an fuse implementation to mount it on Linux, along with automatic distribution and caching of the data. Those are all excellent features that I haven't really seen in any other system.

But the actual support for local or private hosting is basically non-existent. On IPFS everything is public all the time. The whole thing is way to much focused on being a globally spread protocol, while it neglects the benefits it could provide on the local PC, by just being a file format.

What I am missing is something like Git build in top of IPFS hashes. Something that allows me to manage my files on my local PC without any of the networking, but with the content addressing. Something that allows me to quickly publish them to a wider audience if I desire, but doesn't force me to. Or even just something I can use as a way to access my local files via content address instead of filename.
I know, I know. I am not disputing the technicalities.

Well, yes, I was using an euphemism :-)
It's definitely possible to view his actions as part of some grand strategy, but I find his political manoeuvring to be short sighted and impulsive. As for the ethics, he started Palantir specifically to make money from the cascading need for government agencies (beyond the usual suspects) to encroach on the privacy of citizens.
Temporal calls itself a “Durable execution platform”, which I think emphases the persistence aspect of a message queue. I remember Cadence which is Temporal’s predecessor called itself a “workflow orchestration framework”. I think it’s a better term.
Used properly, to intervene in the system using negative feedback
loops "predictive policing software" seems a wonderful tool for
reducing crime. If it accurately identifies areas of high crime then
that's a sign of poverty, the root cause of crime, and helps identify
neighbourhoods where we should hand out money - handing out money
being the most direct way of tackling poverty.

Of course some people might disagree with this intervention as
"simplistic". And they'd be at least a little right. For those people
who may not have read "Leverage points: Where to intervene in a
system" by Dana Meadows, I highly recommend it to see why.

Turns out that messing with parameters like money, and feedback loops
that constitute a "criminal justice system" are the least effective of
all actions. The fundamental values of the system must be
addressed. One of those is itself the error that "cybernetic
governance" based on software can do anything more than enrich a few
software companies.

>Would be great if something grew from hobbyist / enthusiasts.

Making PCBs to support modern x86 and even high-end ARM CPUs with DDR5 RAM and also PCI-express is beyond the skillset of a vast majority of hobbyist and enthusiasts. It gets so so far up the creek of high frequency signal engineering under electrical engineering. It's not impossible, just very time consuming and costly (between equipment required for testing and PCB manufacturing).

But yea all the other stuff in a framework could get hobbyists and enthusiasts making their own elements like the expansion cards and keyboard significantly more easily if there was a need for it.

Huge fan of Planetscale and super excited to try this out. This comes at just the right time too for me!

I agree that the path from engine mechanical output to wheels certainly seems less efficient. We might be wrong about that, underestimating the losses in gear sets, but that's not my point and I also suspect that in that case we would hear more about gear set cooling solutions/issues.

But the path from fuel to engine output can be made far more efficient by designing the engine for a very narrow band of usage conditions instead of the crazy wide range from cruising at near idle to showing off what you paid extra for. Diesel trains have been diesel-electric for almost a century.

I think I would more easily be convinced that Madoff deserved rehabilitation than SBF.

There are certain behaviors in fraudsters that make me think they are psychopathic fraudsters and really incapable of dealing with the world without deceit. That naturally overlaps other dark triad traits that make it hard but not impossible for someone to put aside deceit and allow some deflation of their ego, etc.

Well, a whole load of them did come from ancient Egypt and Babylon.

Given the Moses of Exodus came from Egypt, it’s highly unlikely he created a new script when wandering the desert. I’d imagine he had more critical issues.

Also, he was brought up as an Egyptian royal and would have been taught how to write.

It is plausible that the folks from Babylon brought their script too.

Perhaps it has origins in both.
Have you spoken to support about the issue? Sounds like an uncommon problem and could be linked to a single part failing.

The hinge is certainly flimsy.

> doubt hotels will get more expensive as they still have to compete with each other

They already have, by double-digit figures [1]. Both in terms of rates and average revenue per room.

There are a lot of hotels in New York. But within each lodging category, in each neighbourhood, it’s more limited. During marquee events (UN, fashion week, et cetera) or the holidays, a given set of hotels have a virtual oligopoly, as the alternative is hoofing it from New Jersey.

I've both used and hosted AirBnB. I probably have ~50 experiences of various transactions.

0 problems.

I hate that the fees are hidden until you are about to pay, but the actual service is like renting out a furnished apartment/house. Way back when, people were renting out rooms in their home, so you actually got to talk to a host to get advice about the area, and the home was decent.

Today its basically a bunch of landlords who have some property manager and cleaning service taking care of a furnished apartment/house.

But its just another hotel-style company. I imagine you havent tried chatgpt either.
Slovakia on the Verge of Rapprochement with Russia
The point of scapegoats is that the scapegoat is actually sinless, and the sins of others are transferred onto the goat to be sacrificed. SBF is not sinless, he's getting what he deserves. He will be punished for his own crimes, not for the crimes of others. In no conceivable way is he a scapegoat.

Other exchanges run by other people also committed crimes, but those crimes aren't what SBF is on trial for. He's on trial for his own crimes.

YouTube's own video ads can currently be blocked.

I predict, however, that Google won't allow this for long, because there were already signs that they are deploying anti-ad-blocking detection.

People don't realize, but the detection of ad-blockers is possible and hard to prevent. Even uBlock Origin, although granted, it's still the most difficult to beat. That companies abstained from doing it, that's only because ad-blocking eyeballs are still good for business, but given that the market share of ad-blockers has grown tremendously, that will change.
To my reading that’s exactly what this is intended for.

You do “pgroll start”, let it run, and then when that’s done you deploy your new code. Then when you’re confident the new code is fine, you do “pgroll complete”. If at any time you realize you got it wrong, you rollback the code and then you do “pgroll rollback” and it’s af if nothing happened (but data changes that went through the new code and schema are still around, if the change you made allows).

You actually can’t insure everything. And you definitely can’t insure everything for less than the cost of just suffering the loss.

There’s no viable or common policies that cover run of the mill retail shrinkage. It’s not a thing. Stores just have to eat it.

Before you argue this point try to consider how such a policy could possibly work.

You just total up what you think shoplifting is costing and tell the insurance company and they give you money? What business model is going on there exactly? How does the overall market work, where does the money come from that is reimbursing you for those losses?

Similar story - a PI had written some code to from (row, column) indices of the upper triangle of a matrix (made somewhat tricky by excluding the main diagonal) to a linear index. He used a for loop to start from the beginning and count up for an O(n^2) algorithm - I was able to give him an O(1) constant time formula to do the same thing for a rather dramatic speedup.

The original post is deleted, but in a proper ACID database, persistence and speed are quite highly related. The DB can't truly move on until it has confirmed that a set of writes has truly hit the persistent storage, and the time required for that is vastly larger than the time required to process a transaction in volatile memory. We cheat in every possible way, notably with battery-backed NVRAM, so in actual practice the cost isn't always visible. But if you need truly persistent transactions, then fast persistent memory is a godsend. (Especially if it's big enough to put the WAL into. Though even a couple of bytes to store the last committed transaction ID can be useful.)

As you probably already know, medical science was stifled by the Catholic church for many years. In some ways, some medical practices were more accepted in the Muslim empires of the day. This creates a ultimately pointless but still real "superiority argument" around medieval and ancient times for these faiths.

There can be an ideological bent to try and label Rome (and by relation Catholicism) as being unclean and ungodly because it does not protect its young. Or even more extreme, suggest that their children die regularly because they are godless and that history proved it.

I hope I don't need to explain why this is very much an extremist point of view, but I'll say so regardless so that HN mods or other folks don't label me as being political/religious here.

In my history class, a religious argument of "my children are more godly and history proves it by the deaths" broke out between a group of very devout Orthodox, some Catholic folks, and some Muslim folks. All of them were trying to use the infant mortality rate as proof of some or the other's faith of god in their children. It got very weird, very fast. The professor had to break up the argument.

This happened in Alberta, the "religious zealotry" capital of Canada. Lots of religious conservatism here.
