To be completely fair, it's not like they are going to remotely delete it or anything, the current version which I like functions, and has no glaring bugs, and will continue to function.

And if I did use emacs, and somehow it changed in a way that I hated, I really doubt I'd have the time to fix it. Work isn't going to pay me to sit around and write my own text editor.
This can be true if by "textual content", you're not looking at things like the raw html (and obviously not images/videos/etc), and looking at only content - and comparing that to some gigs of random data and images and whatnot. Probably not that hard for that to be true, but it is of course an unfair comparison.
indeed, the happyjit is not included here in the comparison. I've read the paper (which I of course cannot access via ACM) and their benchmark results were not that good.

They were using an old version of PyPy and did not use some of the advanced features of the JIT generator.

Note that this requires quite some work to actually benefit PHP, because the rest of the interpreter is missing (as well as say web server integration). However, once this is done, JIT improvements will benefit both.
Personally, I would love a native Linux version. Especially since there's no official Google Drive client currently available for Linux.
"negative reaction to this here. The HN demographic is presumably tilted towards young men."

I'm pretty sure you could actually correlate with life experiences as well (even though age and life experience correlate).

Someone who has not been burned and who hasn't seen or experienced some negative consequence of being open is going to tend to have a negative reaction when something like this is discussed. They don't know what they don't know.
You should also notify any users who already signed up and stored their access token in the database.

Hi --

I suggest you not use this app right now. It is currently throwing up debug pages that include information that allows someone to connect to Postgres and dump the database containing information about your documents.

Thanks.

I could be completely wrong, but I've read various mass-media articles that suggest that a single stolen credit card is only worth $1-3 on the black market.

If that's true, unless the dude with a Square reader is planning on using the stolen credit card number himself (which is a surefire way get caught), the twenty bucks this hypothetical fraudster legitimately charged you far outweighs the profits he'd get from selling your credit card data.
I remember an article about this problem in the nytimes a while back... here's the link:

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/07/travel/escapes/07backlash....

There's a wide range of opinions on this topic, and a lot of it probably comes down to personality. I'm sympathetic to people who don't really want their neighborhood to become a revolving door of short term residents, even if those residents are respectful and quiet. Some people would happily give up the right to rent out their own property short term in exchange for a neighborhood with less turnover, where you get to meet, know, and become long term friends with the people around you.

Other people not only disagree, but are appalled, even angered, that anyone would presume to make this decision for someone else - if their tenants are quiet and respectful, what right does someone else have to regulate what they do with their own property?

This is the sort of issue that reminds me of an interesting branch of libertarianism that actually supports highly restrictive laws provided that these laws are kept very local and decentralized. For instance, religious communities would have the right to demand everyone wear certain clothes, as long as people can easily leave and they promise not to try to enforce their dress code on the next township over.

I see some value in that point of view here. I do think neighborhoods, on a very local level, should be allowed to enforce strict laws on vrbos and short term rentals. I wouldn't want to see these laws state-wide (or even city wide), but at the neighborhood level, I don't think I have any objection (and I would prefer to live in a neighborhood with these restrictions).

I would argue that your very sensible demands, for a sanitary kitchen and proper fire escape, can be seen to by market forces. Only rent AirBnB places whose reviews convince you they are appropriate. You can not be the only one who feels as you do. And with a new market like this, where people would not reasonably expect the automatic protection they ostensibly enjoy at traditional hotels, it is all the more plausible that they will select and review places sufficiently.
I haven't used this so I'm not sure what's going on, but I believe OAuth involves a redirect back to servers controlled by the third party to actually do something with the authentication token. This doesn't strike me as necessarily fishy.
I have some sort of default login credentials I'll use to sign up for stuff just to try it out. If those don't work for whatever reason (screen name taken, password not complex enough) I'll usually stop signing up

"the apartment owner of having their stuff owned"

By the way there is also the chance of the renter having their things owned.

If I stay at a hotel there is at least some control over who can enter my room and presumably key card logs, as well as videos showing access (and a safe in the room). While this does not provide absolute security obviously, I feel more safe leaving my laptop in a hotel room then in someone's apartment where anyone (old friend or perhaps the super) could have a key and something could disappear.

I think I'll probably not do this.
'Tenant' is not mentioned anywhere in my deed but perhaps California limits what the government can claim about my property. Were I to own a home on land restricted by a lease then perhaps you would have a legitimate point. I pay property tax and parcel tax on property assigned to me by the deed; the deed assigns ownership to me not the state.
You can check using the network tab in the webkit inspector, or firebug. I don't see any async loading.

The html pages have this header:

Transfer-Encoding:chunked

This means the html is streamed. The response on the sever-side is near-instant, only being hit for DNS the first time, and just the round trip latency the second. Due to the streaming, and the CSS being included at the top, the css is loaded super fast, in parallel with the html. In less than 100ms (for me), most things required to render the page are loaded up.
Basically you're just an idiot.
Given that in the conventional PHP interpreter, everything is executed from scratch on each request, I wonder how the JIT behaves here, especially since most PHP programs live and die in less time than it seems to take the Pypy JIT to warm up. If/when a version with the web side of the stack is implemented, will JITed code survive across requests?

Actually, your Postgres credentials still work. I am currently able to connect to the database and I can still view people in the role I grabbed.

I'm not sure how to validate that this is still timely, though... oh, I created a table:

With the current timestamp. So, if you changed anything, it hasn't actually taken effect in the part that matters -- the exposed database.

Things I expect in a Chrome for iOS update
I think this is a marvellous idea, and I'm now an official backer. One thing that I'm worried about is that a "pay wall" sort of model might prevent casual users from signing up. Maybe a paid API / developer model might work better.

For instance, the vast majority of GitHub users don't pay a dime, since they only use open source projects (which are free to host). There are many people/companies that use the paid service (mine included), but we pay for the "added feature" of being able to keep the repo private.

Good luck with the cause! There's potential here.
Anyone have opinions on good SSL certificate providers or do you agree with the authors recommendation of http://startssl.com ?
Context man! He was speaking at a media conference filled with traditional media co's, such as The New Yorker, Viacom, and ESPN. It was even run by WSJ. To that audience, his statement highlights the nuance of traffic referral vs. accumulating page views, which is why Twitter is potentially poised for greater monetization than a "traditional" media company.

It feels unfair to pull that quote out of context. The point you are making is very different than the point that Costolo was making when he said it.

What's the contract law remedy for a tenant in a building whose unscrupulous landlord has decided to dump his spare inventory onto Airbnb as an ad hoc hostel?

One long-term solution that could emerge is for it to be common to have provisions in leases that forbid both tenants and landlords from doing such things. It might take a while for that to happen, but if what you describe becomes much of a problem, it's likely to happen.

What if you're rent-controlled and the landlord says "go ahead, break the lease! woohoo!"?

Then your bargaining power is reduced in exchange for your below-market rent. Sounds fair to me.

What's the contract law remedy for unscrupulous businesspeople who buy entire buildings and convert them into Airbnb hostels?

That's a slightly different issue. I don't think this is necessarily unscrupulous to do this, but there's certainly a potential for externalities.
in short - yes. there is nothing stopping the JIT code from surviving across requests, as long as you keep the process alive.

And I would respond that history has repeatedly demonstrated that market forces will not see to proper fire escapes or sanitary kitchens. If market forces had been adequate, we would not have such laws today.

Moreover, the type of people who would pay extra for a sanitary kitchen or a proper fireplace are not the type of people who would use AirBNB (or similar services) in the first place.
"Personal attack", as you put it, would be worse only if it was ad hominem, which it wasn't.

As you can see, davidmp's comment claims that "You can link with text as much as you want." The "selective" quote by tylermenezes is the smallest quote sufficient to prove false davidmp's claim.

By reading other comments, you can also see that several other readers called davidmp out on the exact same behavior as tylermenezes did and used more or less the same quote.
There is another factor - many people don't want to live in a neighborhood with a highly transient population. I posted a link to a nytimes article about this above... I think a lot of this comes down to whether you feel that changing the nature of a neighborhood (fewer long term residents) is a legitimate reason for a neighborhood to regulate short term rentals.

As you can probably tell from my phrasing, I do think it is. I wish I had a cite, but I do remember reading an article about the actual, monetary value of good long term relations with neighbors... there is an argument to be made that short term rentals are selling not just the unit but the neighborhood itself, and doing some harm to the neighborhood in the process. If that is the case, this is an externality that could be legitimately regulated.
> What's the contract law remedy for a tenant in a building whose unscrupulous landlord has decided to dump his spare inventory onto Airbnb as an ad hoc hostel?

Demand a no-hostel clause at signing. It's silly, but there's your answer.

And BTW, having lived in a truly rent-controlled (1/5th market rate) place before, "go ahead, break the lease! woohoo!" is all your landlord says anyways.
True. Part of the problem was simply not knowing that signing was a thing that needed to be done.

It's obvious in hindsight, but since I hadn't released many Windows applications in the past, I didn't realize what I didn't know.
In general, not using the platform your users use is a path to trouble. For example, because so many designers in the valley use Macs, we continually have to fight an OS X bias in our design process; when designing something, you tend to calibrate it against what you're used to, but when OS X is only 5% of the market, OS X-based designers of client software end up with a massive blind spot when it comes to understanding what comes naturally to the rest of the world.

One example is font and font size choices - because the system fonts and font rendering styles differ between platforms, it becomes very hard to tell what looks broken or 'not quite right' on the platform you're not used to. It's not uncommon to see sites launch with font choices that look rubbish on ClearType, but if you're not used to ClearType, it's hard to tell whether the rubbish is your fault or not.

Apple's excellent execution and Windows' (no-longer-deserved) poor reputation also mean you frequently hear excuses for this behavior like "Windows users won't care because they don't care about design" or "The Apple way is better, so we should do it that way on Windows too". Both of these are infuriating and lead to terribly designed products.
That, and there really are constraints now that did not exist then. Building a dam back then did not require environmental impact statements and the like.
It's hardly rocket science to tell whether a review is astroturfing or not..

> today’s elite lacks the self-conscious leadership ethos that the racist, sexist and anti-Semitic old boys’ network did possess.

This nicely sums up something that has plagued me for years now. I grew up on the lower middle class side of WASP. My dad is an engineer and my mom waited tables at Zarda BBQ to cover the mortgage. I went the Naval Academy and got the live-in-spartan-quarters treatment and went out into the fleet and felt the responsibility as I looked in a man's eye and said things he didn't want to hear.

When I went to medical school, married with two kids, having completed two tours on ships and a tour on staff back at the Academy, everything got turned on its head. Here were strivers, but, and I remember thinking then "There I was running with a wolf pack. Now I'm swimming with sharks".
It's different when every rating is gated by actual money-changing-hands-in-commerce, as with AirBNB, Uber, and similar.

Further, with the overlay of a giant social network, you can rent your spot out only to people with whom you share some indirect but useful level of acquaintance. So you can ask before renting: "Is Mr. X an inconsiderate ass?" And Mr. X knows bad behavior can affect their reputation moreso than just via a semi-anonymous blurb on a website.
>The vast majority of Google account holders only have one account

as google apps for business and schools becomes more and more popular, this becomes more and more wrong. Tons of non-technical people have a personal gmail account and a school/work one.
Vacation spots usually have permissive laws regarding vacation rentals to encourage property owners to rent out their properties during the times of the year they are not using their property. (For example, contrast the permissive rules of Dana Point and Myrtle Beach with the prospective rules of Pasadena and Boston.)

Different considerations apply in communities which are not vacation spots.

"Could emerge"? Have you ever read a residential lease? I've rented (counting real quick) 8 different places in 3 different cities and every single one of them gave the landlord control over sublessors. I could not have lawfully put any of those apartments on Airbnb.

This came up last Abnb thread, and a bunch of my fellow message board nerds insisted that it was a commonplace to have leases that didn't forbid Abnb, but I don't buy it. I think the right rule of thumb is "you can't do it without breaking the promise you made when you rented the apartment and exposing yourself not only to eviction but to civil liability".

Incidentally, the case law behind landlord oversight over sublessors is very solid; this issue is some substantial fraction of every tenant dispute ever, because people very commonly want to break their leases, and expect their landlord to accept the very first person the tenant finds to occupy the apartment.

I have rented out my place (which I own) numerous times. I pay my income taxes through the 1099 Airbnb issues. Since I've started renting, I've made numerous friends I keep in touch with, have had invitations to visit Turkey, Singapore... it has helped me pay my bills... and I've never had a disturbance, nor have my neighbors ever had a problem. I realize not all cases are like this, but Airbnb has truly made my life easier, made me a proud host and broadened my horizons. As a guest I have gotten under the skin of neighborhoods in a matter of days (one time I ate at 3 fancy restaurants in a weekend all of which had month long reservation lists because my host is embedded in the local community)

The beauty of Airbnb and other community marketplaces is that I'm incentivized to make sure things go well. If my neighbors complain, it will become hard to host. If my guests complain, it will become hard to host. If I complain at a hotel? No one cares.

I would happily pay a flat yearly tax to register as a short term rental host. I won't however spend 10s of hours working through ridiculous paperwork, spending thousands of $s to get onside of this antiquated system. We should be thankful of companies like Airbnb, like SideCar, Uber, TaskRabbit, Exec, pushing our outdated world forward.

Just my $.02
I'm no expert on these sorts of things, but it seems like the story goes something like this:

1. Dev checks out his site using IE

2. Dev realizes that IE users were getting scary warnings about his software

3. Dev has to pay up money to a third company to make the scary warnings go away.

Seems like a bad state of affairs to me.
