Google plus addressing format and the unanswerable question
Google supports something called plus addressing, which is just username+alias@gmail.com or username+alias@example.com if you are signed up for their domains product.

The alias/plus addressing is not exclusive to google. I have searched, posted on forums, asked around, and no one can seem to find a way to search gmail, or to create a filter that can locate all plus addressed emails.

As an example address: user+amazon.com@gmail.com

If I forget to add a filter for user+amazon.com, and really who has time to set that up right on the spot. Further, gmail doesn't exactly show you must of the recipient address other than "me" unless you dig deeper into each email.

I want to be able create a filter that says if any To: address has a plus in it, mark it with a label.

I have tried regex, which I don't, believe is supported. I have tried what I thought should work, as just to: user+ for which it finds all my email. And finally I have tried to just search To:+ and To:"+" as well as other variations.

Any suggestions, a plug in, anything?

Thank you.
That would be true if the only service AirBnB were marketing was search and publishing - like Craigslist. But they also advertise selection and insurance.
Yep, I was a bit harsh I suppose.

Although, if this happened to someone and I heard about it by word of mouth,(or even through a less entitled post)I would immediately be sympathetic.

That said, the entire post is one long diatribe directed AT AirBnB as if it's their fault for not hand-combing literally every renter's reviews for validity.

He gambled and got burned, he's guaranteed up to a million USD so as far as I'm concerned, eat your loses and move on; don't blame the company that was both making you under the table money AND is about to pay you 90k in damages.
im a guy and apparently im cute enough so that i sometimes get "sexy jokes" from women at my office. Everyone sees it as good fun. Even me. It's not that bad, and if anything I suppose I'm a little flattered - even if i've ZERO interest in the person and I'm in a work environment.

I'm not making any joke back to them tho. It's risky, and I don't want problems with anyone, anyway, I frankly think it's not worth my time.

I however see posts, tweets, blogs etc from coworkers who blame other men.
Example: "we're going bro-coding tonight, anyone wanna join?"

To them that means "women not allowed". It says brothers. Some even threaten others of legal action and talk about it in public too, trying to shame people.

The disconnect is HUGE. To be blunt, I think they're fucking crazy.
Some notes on driving the Seiki 4K with a 1st generation MacBook Pro Retina.

50” is too big for desktop, better with multiple monitors that surround you. 39” is ok, but scaling has been an issue: text is sharp at 4K and 1080p. But, non power of two scaling looks really blurry. At 4K, text is too small, and at 1080p, text is a bit large. When compared to retina, fonts look uneven, so I wind up coding on the MBP and use the 4K for Skype, email, etc.

Getting full 4K native between OSX and Seiki required some fiddling with SwitchResX. This was back in January and perhaps the drivers have been improved? Was underwhelmed until I got full 4K going. And then: Wow! Breathtaking! Too bad my first generation Mac Book Pro retina can only drive the 4K at 15hz, newer model MBP should work at 30hz.

With SwitchResX, I can drive the Seiki at 1080p60 and 1080p50, which is useful for previewing visual music pieces at different refresh rates. So, am generally pleased with the Seiki for working with media, though I haven’t done much work with gradients and skin tones. MMV.
This is ultra important! I can't even begin to count the number of times I've come across great open source projects with ZERO documentation. I tend to read the code (if the project is in a language I know well..) but that's not an option for many people looking to quickly integrate.

Maybe OSS contributions should actually start with writing the docs, sort of like how interns start with fetching the coffee ;) Of course, you can do more if you like but writing docs is a great starting point to learn more about the underlying code anyway!
The fact that the same person going through the same process twice gets a completely different result strongly suggests that luck and randomness is a large factor, despite the apparent thoroughness and time investment.

I've advised people on a job search that the way it works with tech hiring is they ask you a few questions and either you'll happen to be able to get the answer quickly or you won't, and if you go on enough interviews eventually you'll get one where you get all the answers quickly and you will look really smart as a result. Consequently, you can't pin your hopes on or predict whether you would be able get hired by any particular company.
Lol (really I lol'd in real life).
I could dig one up, but basically it was something which happened when they tried to - and succeeded at - solving the immune rejection problem with the glass ones. Modifying the surface to prevent a layer of scar tissue building up made the implants much more capable, but the consequence was that they were now bonded to the brain permanently essentially.

Never used in people - but the point stands - making a good connection to the brain involves something similar.
Considering the host guarantee was put in place in response to a customer whose apartment was vandalised[1] this seems like a remarkable exception.

Well, you got me on my grammar. Regardless, the point remains the same.
"you can't do illegal stuff without violating a lease"

This is speculation and not true. Not to mention that the criminal code and the civil code are distinct bodies of law. In general, it would be more likely to be evicted for a "quality of life" violation (such as that citation) than for any ramdom infraction of the criminal code. Furthermore, to the extent relevant, a landlord usually reserves "the right, but not the oblication" to take action or not. And crap like this is more likely to warrant eviction than a mere legal infraction (which need not even be disclosed).
Airbnb will almost certainly cover the damages: https://www.airbnb.com/guarantee.

He might not have as much luck getting them to pay his relocation costs, since I'm sure that renting out his apartment was against his lease anyway.

The real problem for this guy is going to be finding another landlord in Manhattan who will rent to him, unless he is extremely wealthy, of course.
By that logic, you could also say that McDonald's isn't a restaurant chain, but a real estate company: http://seekingalpha.com/article/73533-mcdonalds-is-a-real-es...
For sure. In the case of the African-American civil rights movement it took many generations.

But whenever someone minimizes an individual effort, finds excuses why they shouldn't have fought back, questions whether they really deserved it or not, or nit-picks their stories they are setting things back and slowing things down. Often the most rational people are the worst. They love to ignore context, pose what-ifs, and explore every edge case. But really they are just biased.
I always wanted to see someone make a proper attempt at a keyboard for "neutral" hand position. hands placed palm down are flexed "pronate", palm up "supinated", palms facing each other "neutal" is the most relaxed (face it: we're 'meant' to be holding our hands out ready to strangle each other) so i want a keyboard not rotated-up slightly, i want one built into a proper cone (apex up), or two cones (yes yes... i'm sure a couple of breasts might come to some of your filthy minds)
There was a comment in the article about tiling window managers and Windows. I used to have to use Windows for work, and I missed my tiling window manager. As it turns out, bug.n[0] is a pretty decent TWM for Windows. I was using Windows XP, so I'm not sure of how well it works on newer versions.

Ah thanks! That must have been it.
I think the writer maybe mistaking frame rate(screen refresh rate in hz) for latency (time between graphics card outputting and screen displaying in ms) these are very different. Computer monitors have a low latency and tv's usually have a high latency (some have a game mode which turns off some image processing to get back some precious reaction time) our eyes and brains are fooled for motion at as low as 24 hz (film motion pictures)
Your point is fair, but IMO it would not be incorrect to blame both the site as well as Google Search, obviously for different reasons.

'Verified' should eventually mean verified, with no qualifiers. If it can't be guaranteed then it's better to say so.

edit: I see from jamesroseman's comment below that 'verified' only means that their ID is verified, not the reason they require the accommodation. (https://www.airbnb.com/help/question/450) If that's clear from the UI (and not just buried in a FAQ), it invalidates my point.
Nice, though I think our intro modal is a bit long (as in, too many pages to explain what you're doing).

Just give people the gist of it, and they'll learn the interface as they go, if you've captured their interest, and if you've got the UX right.

Speaking of UX, up and down arrows are not indicative up liking/not-liking something. Thumps up, stars, hearts, etc. have done the heavy part of training a user what they mean. Stick to something tried and true, as to not confuse the user.

I have to say, I'm not a fan of the horizontal scrolling. What was your logic in deciding on that, rather than vertical?
How, then, does one avoid jumping to conclusions? By taking the word of whoever first goes public over an incident? Right.
I think Airbnb has the potential - and wants to - be as equipped as hotels are in most of those dimensions. That's why they reimbursed the person whose house was vandalized, and why they do keep banking info on file (IIRC).

It is true it was their decision, but they did it under a false impression. Who facilitated this impression? Who ultimately allows Airbnb to stay in NYC? Airbnb.

I agree Airbnb can go to the police, but in the meantime it doesn't seem unreasonable that they help the person out, just like it doesn't seem unreasonable that a hotel chain is helping out a local hotel when a prostitution ring is uncovered.
Zillow estimates rent at that address as $6700/month, with the 2 bedroom condos in that building selling for over $2 million. Another listing at the same address was renting for $7950/month.
Compared to US sure. Compared to some countries that pay you to go to secondary school not so much.
FD sets max occupancy for confined spaces. This includes public access areas (eg, elevators).
Hmm, I meant that in the context of a legitimate sublease, although the second half of that sentence does strongly imply I was referring to this stay as a valid use case. You'd get liability coverage from some plans at least.

Honestly, I think in the revision process I moved a sentence fragment astray.
7 years when you're ~22, who cares?

The point, which was a bit buried, was that by defaulting and having her wages garnished, resulted in much better progress in paying the debt off ... because there is no interest, and probably because of inflation as well.

I'm not sure that's accurate, but it's what the piece implies.
If we're paying them, shouldn't they be representing our interests?
In the US, isn't electricity supplied and managed by corporations rather than the government? This complicates things somewhat, as it exposes the system to market forces ("I want a choice of providers and I will choose the cheapest") and may reduce the government's ability to "intrude" by adding safety measures.

Perhaps more critically, since the US grid seems to be operated by a number of competing companies, it may be less likely that the system itself will be made resilient, because there is limited cooperation.

If the people of the US decided to spend money on hardening power delivery, would the money come from tax dollars, or electricity bills?

The tweet is verifiable.
That a porn party took place at that residence seems likely.

There is no verification this occurred over airbnb. There is no verification that the tweets were by anyone other than the resident or owner and no verification that the tumblr post was written by the resident.

All of this, including the tweet, could be a pretty simple hoax.

And worse, it's from tumblr.

The premise you restated was the basic post itself: Hey! This shit happened to me.

I asked, why should we believe this.

You said, "Because shit happened to that guy!"

Until airbnb responds we have no reason to give this anecdote any credence.

And you were totally snide. Your apology is disingenuous. "Sorry you felt I was being snide" is not an apology. It is a faux apology.
It does seem like an awful lot.

There are furniture boutiques in Manhattan where you could easily spend $87,000 outfitting your apartment, but then if you were spending that kind of money, why on earth would you put your place on Airbnb?
All times are great to be alive if you're a cynic living in any society of appreciable size.

You either need to be a hermit or part of a small tribe to live in "times" where there is less room for cynicism.

Care to share the book recommendations? I'm curious because I've been contacted by Google recruiters before, but have never done well enough to be hired. I'd like to get to the point where I was SRE material, even if I were to be hired by another company and not Google. I've never seen any reading material suggestions or videos.
Maybe in NYC, but certainly not everywhere.

Is the money really under the table? Isn't that illegal, aren't there people putting a stop to that? Anyway, the part of the article that confused me was why he repeatedly said he can't look the doorman in the eye anymore. That can only be if you did something wrong.

Maybe everyone in this story is doing something wrong except the door guy.
This is exact reason why AirBnB like services cannot succeed in India. You could be in jail, as the police here will never understand why you allowed someone into your house if you are not a hotel. The attitude of police here is that if anything goes wrong, the owner of the house or business is responsible.

To illustrate, in 2004, early days of e-commerce in India, someone put up a certain CD to be sold on e-Bay. The police just arrested the CEO of eBay India. When something goes wrong police here arrests biggest possible names either to show its working or extract maximum corruption money. Any wonder why Indian startups cannot go beyond providing services to foreign businesses for cheap? To be fair, many startups are innovating in India, but the point is the kind of challenges they have to deal with are just unknown to the more developed world.

But since this person is in violation of AirBnB's terms of service, he might have problems collecting on their insurance policy. Their TOS states[1]:

... you will not:

...offer, as a Host, any Accommodations that
you do not yourself own or have permission to
rent as a residential or other property...

Clearly he does not own the property or have his landlord's permission to rent it.

This happens all the time in hotels. Where do you think a good chunk of xxx movies are shot? I will answer this for you - HOTELS or any homes producers have access to before deadline. This wont be the first, second or last time either.
Yeah, I grokked the point, and I strongly disagree with the conclusion.

For anyone with a graduate degree that's competent in their field the chances of going 4+years jobless is pretty low. And I would assert that if you get a (well-paying)job earlier than 4 years out of college its worth it to not default on your loans.

Why? By the end of the second year of a salaried job I would be highly surprised if that shitty credit score hasn't fucked up your life in at least one major way.

It's really about how much you think you're worth. If you don't think you'll need a loan in the next 7 years then save yourself some money I guess?? Don't forget if you get ANY job at all in the meantime, because they can just garnish your wages if they do.

It seems to be implied that life with bad credit isn't so bad(and it isn't), but we live in a material world. People want to buy shit, often-times shit that's more expensive then they can currently afford, it's why loans exist. I just think anyone acting on this advice without REALLY thinking about it, will regret it more often than not.
But the video didn't actually really show you much of anything. The first 20 seconds were straight up pointless. Anytime they showed information it was in text that was way too small unless you watched it full screen on your desktop. They were saying stuff, but at the same time not saying stuff. Why did they make choice X,Y,Z. How low cost is it? How long will it last? What trade offs are there, etc.

Born in Scotland, lived most of my life in Australia, now in Washington State.

I hear it all over the place, but it's also less correct than how is... but you're right, definitely more common.
I'm Indian and sometimes pieces like this are a very strong reminder of how bad the student loan situation is in US. I went to a central university (i.e. funded by the central/federal government of India) and basically paid less than INR 1000 per year in tution fees and what not (I was a day scholar so no hostel expenses but they were low as well). For three years of full time university education, that is less than USD 50. I don't have a foreign university degree to compare quality of education with but I certainly got FAR better education than I paid for.
The fact that he's getting evicted is a pretty good clue. While it's possible to get evicted for a one time noise incident, it's highly unlikely. Violating the sublet terms on the other hand is a slam dunk. Also, I've never seen an NYC rental contract that allowed for subletting without the landlord's permission. Finally, in the very unsual circumstance that he had a lease that would allow for short term sublets, I'd think he would mention it.

So all and all the grandparent's guarantee is pretty solid. This guy isn't a victim, he's one of the co-conspirators, as are AirBnb. His landlord and neighbors are the victims.
If 7 years is less than it'd take to pay back the loan without being broke the entire time, default is a viable option.

> It seems to be implied that life with bad credit isn't so bad(and it isn't), but we live in a material world.

Not everyone is material.

> People want to buy shit, often-times shit that's more expensive then they can currently afford, it's why loans exist.

Many don't, many like to live within their means and shun such material excess or attempts to keep up with the Jone's. Many laugh at the ignorance of wasting money on shiny rocks and expensive habits and life events. You presume too much about other people.
> Like most nerds, the value of an hour of my time is such that even thinking about the price of paid streaming content is a waste of time...

Why, is your time so worthless that you can freely spend it watching an hour of streaming content?
googler here. you list seems mostly right to me, except perhaps "left-leaning socially". Did you mean politically? I've had teammates from all sides of the political spectrum here, but if Google tends to have more politically left leaning people, it probably just represents the tendencies of the talent pool it recruits from and the areas in which it has offices.
Have you tried rehabilitating your loan?
I would be leery to put an arduino directly on a public ip, best to have some home bastion server you log into then access your private network.

> In addition defaulting on a loan allows the debtor to garnish wages, tax refunds, etc...

That very much depends on the state and kind of loan; many states do not allow this for mortgages.

"...worldly possessions tossed in a pile into the common area, while a group of strangers form a pile to have their private areas tossed."

I would've gone with "...while a group of strangers have their piles tossed". It's cleaner(?).

All joking aside, this is why I refuse to participate in AirBnB. It's just not worth the non-negligible risk of very bad things happening. It's a great idea, yeah, and they've done super well, and a lot of people are exceedingly happy with it all. However, I'm not one of them, and I don't think these risks can be removed--having a stranger (or heck, even a friend!) stay in your house while you are not there is inherently risky no matter what regulations are in place.
Most people feel worse with getting a salary cut than having low salary from start.

why wouldn't someone be able to duplicate? You keep things secret? Government protects you via patents and copyright? I mean econ 101 is that markets bring profits towards zero. A perfect market with perfect information means zero profit. Any market that tends towards "perfection" would therefore be anathema to any capitalist.

In other words, fuck man, capitalists hate markets. They would prefer that you don't have a choice but to buy from them.
