I imagine that they pay what they have to in order to fill the number of positions they need filled. How could they pay anything less than the market rate and still fill the positions?

I guess a revolving door supply of cheap labor is what lets them fill an IT position while only offering $25k. You said you worked there briefly, I assume you found a better job and moved on.

Clearly the product is not the problem with enrollment meeting quota and certainly no downward pressure on tuition cost... I say that tongue in cheek -- this is the university's (business') perspective.

Do you have a source for this? My observation is that it's much easier to hire iOS developers than Android developers.
What experience are you basing that on? That has never happened to me. It shows you what it's going to put in before it puts it in and gives you a drop-down menu.

What i find funny about "yo" is that I hadn't heard of it until yesterday, and after I heard about it, I heard it was shit.

I agree with you, but it will never happen. GvR wants a as-simple-as-possible reference implementation, for one, he has to maintain it with a volunteer dev team. Also, there's a split in the Python community between guys like me and you- and the scientific squad. Until the scientific stuff works 100% in PyPy you'd lose a significant portion of the Python userbase by dumping CPython.

GvR has done enough damage to Python with Python3. I don't intend to encourage him to do make any more changes. Us Python web developers are better off using what we have (non reference implementations, which don't hurt anyone), or just use Node.js.

Nope. In fact, they don't deserve to be there at all if they're violating the contract the tenants signed with the owner.

Rust doesn't have exceptions, but its error handling is less ugly than go. Functions that can encounter errors return a `Result` by convention. If you then want to propagate errors, you can do so nicely with the try! macro, which converts a successful `Result` into its value, or returns the error of an unsuccessful `Result`. Thus the following go and rust are semantically the same:

val, err := error_prone()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}

let val = try!(error_prone());

Personally, I find that error handling isn't that bad in go. I think it's at least no worse than exceptions. Exceptions make it too easy, for me at least, to just mindlessly propagate the error. Sometimes that's the right thing to do, but in go it's a lot less repulsive to handle the error since to propagate the error you would need handling code anyway.

Rust strikes a nice balance. You have to explicitly handle every error, but if you go with the by far most common handling code, you get some nice sugar that makes it mostly painless.

"Meritt, ignore DCF's - they are utterly useless in the tech / venture world, especially at the stage you're at."

I wouldn't say they're utterly useless. The thing is, they're starting points. DCF isn't the beginning and end of a valuation process; it's a guessy data point. But it's more educated than a lot of other guessy methods. At the very least, it serves to ground the acquiring company's expectations.

I wouldn't rely on a single, straight-line DCF for a startup. Ever. But model out a few scenarios, and play around with a few factors, and you arrive at a sort of distribution of outcomes. That distribution requires an an asterisk, but it isn't useless.

Also, in the event you're being bought by a publicly traded company, somebody there needs to present some sort of NPV-based analysis to someone. If you're a small acquisition, that may be a mid-level manager to the VP level. If you're a big acquisition, that'll be the C-level to the Board (and indirectly, to Wall Street).
Let me clarify... the noise is one thing, the constant flow of people another, and the issue of not feeling/being secure yet another (and not the least). Add to that the effects it has on rents and available apartments, and you might see my point that regulation of illegal short-term sublets by tenants in an apartment building is indeed in need of regulation.
Ask HN: what to do when there is no one to trust
I currently work for a major, well-known, trusted organization. In the course of everyday work I discovered information about how the company is run that would compromise the entire operation. In a nutshell, it showcases that those at the top have zero limits when it comes to preserving power.

Since reporting it a series of events have taken place that cannot be adequately explained. I can't discuss them out in the open here - but lives have been majorly affected in hopes of making sure that these secrets are not exposed.

There have been multiple attempts, some successful, to capture data from my computers, eavesdrop on calls, and possibly worse. I have collected a substantial amount of evidence - but I cannot be reasonably sure whether this is being sanctioned by those in power or the actions of a rogue operative.

I am in trouble and I am scared. Believe me when I say that these people are not to he messed with. I mean it when I say no limits. I have nowhere to turn - what should I do? Specifically, how can I make sure to:

Preserve the evidence
Collect more evidence
Who do you even report it to?

> It is cheaper to just hand over USD$1K per month to anyone that bothers to show up at the BI office than to support an army of social workers and bureaucrats

Your worst case scenario under this program is 300,000,000 Americans showing up during a downturn in the economy. That's $300 billion a month, $3.6 trillion a year, or roughly 100% of current US budget expenditure (with entitlement, defense, discretionary, etc.)

So it's definitely not cheaper, even when you account for the cost of maintaining the bureaucracy.
Nope. Not everyone. I wish. The nasty side-effects of AirBnB in metro areas however are becoming increasingly clear to non-users/non-hosts... and journalists.
The short answer is that the payment system I was using at the time had no easy way to do this programmatically. Remember, a chargeback is not a missed payment. I would receive the payment on time, and then some arbitrary 15-20 days later I would get a paper envelope in the mail notifying of a chargeback with last four credit card numbers XXXX. It was a mess.

But yeah, all these are good points and also reasons I shut down the business. This time around I can apply all these lessons learned.

Not usually. Most colleges don't have popular enough teams to turn a profit. And at the ones that do most of the profit ends up being spent on the sports teams (popular teams need big, modern, expensive stadiums). Almost no money flows from sports to education. At best there's an argument that sports helps drive enrollment and helps drive alumni donations. Though even then because of the cost of most sports programs it's questionable whether or not they break even on average.

Contrary to other comments, splitting costs is perfectly legal for private pilots under FAR §61.113(c)

The fact that an intermediary allows the pilot and the passengers to find each other, or acts as an escrow service to ensure payments are made, is irrelevant.

§61.113 Private pilot privileges and limitations: Pilot in command.
(a) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) through (h) of this section, no person who holds a private pilot certificate may act as pilot in command of an aircraft that is carrying passengers or property for compensation or hire; nor may that person, for compensation or hire, act as pilot in command of an aircraft.

(c) A private pilot may not pay less than the pro rata share of the operating expenses of a flight with passengers, provided the expenses involve only fuel, oil, airport expenditures, or rental fees.

Tell me about it. I'm constantly using the autocomplete to look through all options to complete a method when it should be consistent with other similar things. For instance, you set OnClickListeners but you add TextChangeListeners. This is just a simple example, and yeah it's a small thing, but it's the damn mental baggage of not relying on my brain's quick search to find similar things and having to spend the extra time that really wears on you after hours of it.

The level of hackery even drips down to their own documentation and code examples. There is a line in an old example for a TabPager I believe that said "It relies on a trick." How is this acceptable API writing and role-modeling from Google?

I got to experience the opposite side of the equation. I rented a 6 bedroom house in Austin to house my family during my wedding. There was an ominous note left on the fridge where the owner explained that the neighbors are hostile and will call the cops after 10pm if they hear any noise at all. Later in the day when my mom was out playing in the backyard with the grandkids, she got yelled at by the neighbors with warnings of calling the cops later that night.

Honestly I just wanted everything to go smoothly since I was getting married, but man, I felt sleazy housing my family in a hostile environment. And you know what, I can't really blame the neighbors at all. This was my first and last experience with Airbnb. It just felt dirty to be apart of such neighborhood hostilitly.
Of note: in NYC, it is already illegal according to most leases, and short-term leases are illegal for home-owners unless they reside in the home at the same time.

Smaller governments (i.e. less power, shallower hierarchies), good voting systems, and an informed public are the answer; not avoiding government altogether.

Libertarianism (i.e. absolute belief in the capitalist market and private property) doesn't work, because the markets don't reflect negative externalities like pollution, over-harvesting, misinformation, or antibiotics misuse. States need to exist to manipulate markets to reflect those things.

There are many industries where the profit motive is contrary to the public interest, like education, health, media, banking, prisons, military, drugs, junk food, gambling, etc. Either [a] the state should be the sole player in the industry (prisons, military), [b] the state should provide a public service in that industry to set a baseline for private competitors (education, health, media), [c] the state should impose regulations/taxation that prevent/discourage activity contrary to the public interest (banking, junk food, drugs), or [d] the state should outlaw the industry entirely (gambling (IMHO)).

There are many "markets" that are inherently monopolistic, or where private competition is nonsensical, like public spaces (parks, lakes, rivers) and public infrastructure (roads, telecoms, trains, airports).

Companies and markets are only good at medium-term thinking (at best). Google employees avoid thinking about the kind of society they're creating for their grandchildren, but that's the job description of elected representatives (in accountable governments).

Finally, but most significantly, there's that whole thing about capital accumulating to the top. Income and capital gains taxation is in the public interest, because equality and a well-financed state is in the public interest.

I feel like many Americans tend towards libertarianism because they feel that their governments are unaccountable, unrepresentative and corrupt. I think the problem in the US is the size and power of its government - not the concept of government itself. I think the federation of the US should be abolished (as in, all federal law). States could sign up to federal institutions/programs (central bank, defense, immigration, ...) when and how they please.

Personally, I think any moderately-populated area should have a single level of government spanning no further than 2-4 km from its parliament (i.e. within walking distance). Each of these states can assume common administration of adjacent sparsely-populated areas. If the states agree to a common legislative process, there's no duplication of effort in passing common legislation, except for each parliament voting on it or amending it as they want, which is democratic!

Libertarianism really grates me, but I enjoy debating it because I see that libertarians want the same things I do: liberty and equality for everyone.

> Uh, ask them? If they refuse, just threatening them with a court case will probably do the job. They are legally obligated to uphold their end of your lease agreement.

That is not correct.

Let L = the landlord,
R = the tenant who is renting out his apartment,
T = the tenant who is being annoyed by the
problems R's sub-renters are causing

You are proposing that T sue L for not enforcing a term in R's lease against R. R does not wish to have this term enforced.

The lease agreement being violated (at least as far as the term that prohibits sub-renting the apartment goes) is the one between L and R, not the one between L and T. T would not have standing to sue since T is not a party to the contract between L and R.

A personal chef isn't rational either--there are economies of scale here. But you could pool your and your coworkers' budgets to get an office chef, for an amount from your paycheque much less than the value of the time you're funging against by deciding to work overtime.

Fully realized, you could have all the benefits offered (selfishly) by your employing corporation instead provided by an employee's union co-op. Even the building. The corporation would just be thin pipe keeping labor flowing in one direction and money flowing in the other.
Interesting perspective. I've done AirBnB but only ever in single-family homes in jurisdictions where it's not illegal.

But if I rented a unit and it turned out that the unit was actually not legal to rent, and even more-so if the neighbors are hostile, why PAY for it? Sounds like a great basis for contesting the charge.
That title is pretty fair.

Agreed. And to add, Swift is designed and marketed as an osx and iOS language. Golang still mainly targets CLI tools or server programs. If you look at how Go progresses, some of the devs on the team seem to be able to choose the feature they will work on and move it forward. This seems to be the effort of one man getting this initially working. If it pans out, they may throw more resources at it.

Assumption here being that by refusing corporate food just anybody can go home and whip up a great healthy meal.
When I was an apartment dweller, the noise, constant flow of people, and feeling of insecurity (and silverfish) went with the territory because that's the type of place I could afford. If I had been in a nice, quiet apartment with pleasant neighbors, I would have been wary of being evicted for violating the lease unless the risk of my "guests" causing a problem was very low.

That's why I have to wonder what the real situation is. I see a few complaints about disturbances with nothing being done by the landlord (which is what I'd expect at my old slum apartment), but nobody complaining about being evicted for using Airbnb (which is what I'd expect if a tenant were to turn a nice apartment building into a party hotel, as some complainers insinuate).

In any case, this seems like a problem that already has a resolution: Evict people for subletting if the contract prohibits it, regardless of whether the customers were found on a web site or in the back alley.
I've been following this and, for me, the real story here is .so support from go which they need to implement to allow this.
