It depends on your use case.

In my experience the reason why you wrote something in python (implement features faster) remain valid reasons later on when you want to add functionality.

By using pypy, cpython, rewriting small parts in C/C++ and/or using the libraries which are written in C (such as numpy) you can normally make the hotspots in your code fast enough, while keeping the advantages of python.
Fair enough. (I didn't downvote you btw. I'll upvote to balance things out...)

Housing/hoteling ordinance violations, similar to how one by one, local governments are banning Uber from operating in their jurisdiction.
Hmm, an interesting and different perspective! Thank you for sharing.

If I were to consider renting my place on AirBnB, I would consider the people staying here to be my guests, not ABnB's. While I believe there is some concern with how the company represents themselves, the fact remains that it's his apartment he chose to rent out. Illegally, I might add.

If you rented a room to someone referred by a friend, and that guest trashed your place... would you expect your friend to make restitution? (Personally, I would downgrade my trust in that friend's opinion, but I don't think I would hold them liable...)

If its illegal by practically every lease out there, are AirBnB then encouraging people to break the law?

There is this site where people put movies and films they have got a license to see but not a license to distribute. That site got busted for assisting in the illegal activity that their users did, primary because they turned a blind eye to the problem.
Mike Tyson “Punch-Out” Algerian Man- PlanetOkey
As the occasional host in SF, I do get extremely paranoid about guests, and only accept requests from guests who have had an account for more than a year, who have 100% positive reviews, and has at least 2 reviews in the last 6 months. Obviously I reject a lot of requests. Even then I did have one unfortunate incident involving a guest bringing home another guest that stole something even though I explicitly said "no guests."

My perspective from the host POV is that you really have to do your own vetting of guests beyond anything AirBnB will provide. AirBnB provides barebones proof of ID, but that's it.

Ultimately, I find AirBnB's business to be 100x "crazier" than other "sharing" companies like, say, Uber. At least with Uber there is a more regimented process for vetting and onboarding drivers. With AirBnB it is still a free-for-all on both sides.

At the end of the day, you're letting a total stranger into your house. Where you sleep and have all your things. It's a risk and everyone who uses AirBnB should be aware of it.
This is what the LHC sounds like

Does it really provide net good in the world that your HOA is preventing you from negotiating an agreement with another person that could live in that space?
AirBnB could easily prevent such issues by explicitly requiring people to confirm they're not subject to a lease that prohibits short-term rentals and therefore not at risk of eviction -- before they can list a property for rent. No doubt they'll get right on that.

Kidding aside, not making people aware of these risks and trumpeting a '$1,000,000 Guarantee' (that only happens to cover property damage) just creates an illusion of risklessness -- one that takes advantage of the greedy and stupid.

Normally when a company takes advantage of the greedy and stupid, most of HN pitches a fit. What's different this time?

Just because you have a valid cause of action doesn't mean it's worth pursuing in court. Will you be able to inexpensively serve the defendant? Will you be able to win? And if you win, will you be able to cost-effectively enforce the judgment? And even if you can, does the defendant have enough money to pay? Enough to make to make it worth all the attorney and court fees? And it still won't fix his real problem: no one will ever lease to him because it's still public record that he has blatant disregard for the law and his rental agreement.
It's good to know people still use Path. It sounded like a good app before mail/call spammed the shit out of almost everyone I knew.

They probably weren't thinking "sex orgies", but they probably were thinking "illegal prostitution".

There's a reason why zoning laws exist. In particular, hotels and other temporary arrangements attract drug deals, prostitution, and other unsavory characters.

I can guarantee you that "illegal prostitution" was on the mind of city planners when they zoned out the place. Maybe not quite "sex orgies", but it'd be within the neighborhood (oh I'm so punny...)
That's what ownership means. A renter had exactly the rights to property mandated in law or contacted in the rental agreement. That's what they paid for and the owner aged to transfer. If they wanted the right to use AirBnB or similar services to sublet the apartment, without consequences from bad subtenants, they should have contacted for that. The property owner, had they been willing to provide such rights, would probably have charged substantially higher rent -- out required larger damage deposit or insurance purchase by the tenant -- to do so.
Yes for the other people in that building it almost certainly does.

We could have technologically guaranteed the energy security of the US for a lot less than the budget cost of the Iraq war (which itself ignores the costs of the lost lives and soured diplomatic relations).

For $1 trillion we could have blanketed the deserts with solar arrays, Manhattan Project'd fusion, and developed synthetic fuel technology that would have let us turn grid energy into liquid fuels.

The amount spent was truly mind-boggling, and the opportunity cost hard to grasp.
Because AirBnB has no control over the blacklist. He doesn't really mention whether the original contract allowed him to sublet though.

If it did, then his issue should be with: the owner suing him and the companies linking his case to the blacklist. AirBnB could help him out with place to stay, court costs, etc. - but you can't expect them to "just fix" it. They've got the guarantee and as far as I know, he got the money to compensate for the incident itself.

If it didn't, then... the blacklist works. I don't approve of how it works, but these are the current rules. Effectively the party is irrelevant - he's on the blacklist for breaking the subletting rules.

Yes?

I can think of at least one thing my neighborhood doesn't have to worry about... Sex Orgies coming in through AirBNB.

Another note is that AirBnB doesn't make it easy to track sex criminals. My neighborhood has published the location of all sex offenders and we've got that covered. If you have people moving in / out every week or so, you won't offer those kinds of guarantees in the neighborhood.

Furthermore, parking is limited and is better distributed amongst the neighbors when subletting is not allowed. Finally, by encouraging only long-term leases (1-year or longer), the neighborhood attracts high-quality tenants who tend to care about their neighbors.
WHAT HAPPENS #IFTHEPATRIOTACTEXPIRES? ISIS, HELLFIRE, DOOM
I wouldn't rent to someone that sue-happy either. The reason these databases exist is it's impossible to get rid of a problem tenant in places where they have too many rights.

It also implies if he had a snowball's chance in hell of prevailing in a lawsuit against AirBNB he'd have filed it.

Actually, you just did.
It's a cultural problem, definitely.
A lease doesn't get to make the law, so it's not "illegal", it's simply "non-contractual". Breaking the contact means you'll get evicted, but there's no law-breaking occurring.

My sympathies for him. AirBNB should help him to get out of this blacklist.
That's why you need to be more sneaky about it.

In Denmark you used to be able to deduct interest 100% as far as I'm aware. According to

http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rentefradrag

it's then been gradually decreased from 73% in 1987 to 32% in 2001. And there's a plan to decrease it further, although it is, as you point it, a really hot topic every time it comes up - "driving people from their homes" and similar headlines.
This is an issue, though, if AirBNB is encouraging people to break the law, and simply sees the occasional payout as "insurance" when someone gets caught.

It reminds me of the recall formula outlined in Fight Club.

True, but the validity check for the constant-width case can be done in constant time.
There is a technique called "Listening-Reading" that's fairly well known within the language-learning community.

The idea is straight-forward:

Get a novel-length text in your target language, a high-quality recording of that text and a literal translation of the text in your native language. Alternate between reading the original text and the translation while simultaneously listening to the recording.

The method is supposedly fantastic, but it's incredibly difficult to gather suitable materials. While widely-translated books like Harry Potter seem ideal, the translations are not literal and occasionally the audiobooks do not match the texts exactly.

Wait, side note, but when you think of functional programming your first point of reference is PHP? More then Javascript (which I'm assuming you're probably familiar with, to have such a strong opinion about its syntax)? Am I interpreting this wrong?

Well, the fact is that many mainstream languages have Generics. You have an advantage to learn on others mistakes (e.g. made by those Java guys) and practice.

I understand that Go team are more "systems" persons rather than "languages" in general. Did you try to consult with Dart team? e.g. with Gilad Bracha. Maybe you should consider hiring some languages person in Go team.

AirBnB probably don't have standing to file a suit to have him removed. I suppose they could fund him to file a suit against the blacklist agencies - assuming that there's a valid case. Alternatively he could sue ABnB for further damages due to ending up on the blacklist, though he might not be able to do that due to previous settlements, arbitration, etc.

My introduction was through model rocketry. Somewhere along the line, Al-Biruni's method for finding the radius of the earth was brought up. That was in the early '70s, in what would be "junior high" in the US (elementary school in my part of Canada). It was always about right triangles, not periodic functions, at the beginning, which makes a whole lot of sense - trigonometry was both useful and used for a whole lot of years before calculus was invented. And like logarithms in the pre-scientific-calculator days, there was a point where one turned to tables for practical reasons without thinking of the table values as "magicical" - we were taught how to calculate intermediate values to the limits of practicality. Is there any practical sense (a sense that would be useful for people who would be entering the trades track) in being able to calculate much more accurately than you can measure angles?

At least in the video, nobody is talking about metrics or testing or any practical consideration. In fact one of the designers says they "are used to working more practically.

Another says it "is a way for designers to get what they want. [laugh]"

That's the stock, first time seeing VR reaction for alot of people.

What really matters though is persistence of engagement. Outside of those of us who've drank the koolaid or have a vested interest, how often the general public will come back to VR and how long they will stay inside it will be the critical factor for success.

That rate is still well below the threshold needed.
I get eyestrain/headache everytime I see a 3D movie in the cinema, and I believe that I'm not the only one experiencing this.

This guy had a duty to his landlord to abide by his lease. The fact that AirBnB helped him violate his lease does not give him any cause of action. That would be like suing The Pirate Bay because the MPAA sued you for downloading movies through them. The landlord could perhaps sue AirBnB for tortious interference, but they probably don't care enough to go through the trouble.

A friend?

No, I wouldn't expect a friend to make restitution at all - unless, of course, my friend had done this sort of thing millions of times, knew I was likely subjecting myself to the risk of eviction (probably completely inadvertently), and didn't bother to say a damn thing to me.

If, instead of warning me about the stupid risk I was taking, my friend highlighted things designed to make my behavior seem risk-free (like, say, a million-dollar property damage guarantee), well, then I might feel a little differently. If my friend had built a multi-billion-dollar business off of the risky behavior of me and others like me, then I know I would feel differently.

But this is a moot point, because friends don't let their friends engage in risky behavior without at least making them aware of those risks. Someone that does that isn't your friend at all.
I should perhaps add that in Denmark there's an academic economic elite of researchers (with titles as "wise men", no kidding) that get a lot of attention from the press, and since the set of people elected to the parliament in many cases have a Master's degree in economic or state science where these people teach, their advice is taken really seriously.

For instance, the current government which is nominally social-democratic did some pretty serious cuts to various tax-funded welfare programmes, on the advice of the wise men, to the dismay of their voters.

Go is situated as a better node.js. The entire language appeals to people who come from dynamic language backgrounds: python, ruby, javascript, etc. It is also a language that actively works against clever, intelligent, elegant programmers [1]. Rob Pike himself has stated that Go is intended for unintelligent people [1, 2].

Go is the new Java (<=1.5). It's slightly better....but it's not a language that will grow with you.

Happy to hear Babel is working well for you. I'm loving it too so far. Just to noet, named imports aren't technically destructuring though, since the syntax is different and doesn't nest. e.g.

not

I'm not an economist, but leasing an asset like land or machinery doesn't allow a company to lever up its balance sheet.
Yeah, I wish that were handled better too. Since the parser is expecting a statements, it parses it like

{
a
}

= 5

As in, a block with just an "a" in it, followed by an assignment to nothing, which throws an syntax error.

You can however do

({a} = 5);

to make the parser switch to expecting a destructuring pattern instead of an block statement.

That seems pretty harsh--another way of framing it is that he's spreading the information about a potential risk.

In the end, AirBnB's message has to be "we make renting to strangers safe" or else nobody would rent with then. But a lot of people in this thread are saying "he took the risk and paid the price". So which should a potential renter believe?
