I think this is more complex: a.) It reduces the risk that something happens (e.g. burglary) b.) It increases the impact if something happens (e.g. armed robbery, murder, rape)

Creepy for guests: One could book AirBNB space and then reoffer it on AirBNB (is this possible?) or craigslist. So when you arrive, there is a "host" which is not the real one.

In Russian roulette most chambers ARE empty. Most pulls on the trigger will NOT kill you. I'm sorry, but I can't understand this "most people are good" argument in this context.

The problem with multi-billion defensive patent portfolios is: You cannot counter-sue patent trolls.

In 2009 I wrote in "The Dark Side of NoSQL" (1) about problems with NoSQL: "1. ad hoc data fixing – either no query language available or no skills 2. ad hoc reporting – either no query language available or no in-house skills" (1) http

My take: More or less constant (RIM, Samsung, HTC) but Nokias profits transfered to Apple, LG and Sony giving up.

Thanks for the -4, I think a.) that's worth it b.) proves my point. A "new" business model aka AirBnB does not change any facts.

No. I wish there was an IO monad (an exception monad) in Java. Or at least a common understanding in compilers and IDEs about a @Pure annotation.

Never heard of that "no arguments are best" java community idiom in the last 15 years, so can't comment on that.

The privatization of Germany in the 90s was so bad that it has now one of the strongest economies and enough money for Greece. And obviously became a third world country.

Me: This works with 2 people. You: Yes, look, here they do it with 22 people. 2 of them are described as "Lead" which is contrary to the point you want to make: "You Weren't Meant to Have a Boss." Additionally the problem of putting someone
