I posted an example above but instant book doesn't force a potential renter to be screened which makes it easier for destructive guests to book. If you're throwing a party, would you rather instant book or have to chat with the ho

I agree even if AirBnB is the booking driver. 1) AirBnB has a history of poor support for hosts that have troublesome renters. 2) AirBnB does a terrible job screening renters. 3) This could be easily used against a host improperly. I had a

I'd be all over the S7, but I don't like the bloatware and they have really slow Android updates don't they?

They're pricey (~ 450 USD), but I recommend the Sennheiser Momentum bluetooth wireless [1]. Great sound for music (aptX) and phone calls, comfortable, solid noise cancellation. You can still use them corded if you want too. [1] https:

Your comment shows a real issue at hand - that many people are so quick to be activists that they don't even need a real story to run with it. Perhaps you've experienced some real issues in the past, but you're undermining yo

Wow. I thought you were exaggerating until I read the whole article! Completely absurd. Reminds me of all the groups in the movie PCU. Everyone's a victim these days.

Agreed. I find it both amusing and disturbing to watch things like this unfold. This event seems completely unfounded but even if it had merit, we'd still have a paradox of tolerance [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

I'm not saying the FDA is all bad, but there are a lot of people that are dying that would like to try certain drugs that could save them but they can't.

You have a valid point. They do it to protect the privacy of their hosts but mostly their best interests since hosting one's entire home/apt is illegal in many areas. I agree that they should have a clear disclaimer on the exact l

Taxi drivers used to spend a lot of time just waiting around. Doing less idling means fares can come down as income stays the same or increases.

Yeah video games were especially bad. I think they got up towards $8 a rental before they went under.

2.5 seconds 0-60 with the kids in the trunk doesn't add anything new? Tesla already has liability with the push of "auto-pilot" as a marketing term. Boats have auto-pilot. Tesla's do not.

All good - I think the initial short comment and the subtle "hypothetically" really just obscured what you were trying to say in response to the parent's "entirely subjective" comment - that some languages are objec

That looks like a big liability. Imagine dad hammers it with the kids belted in a little loose. Their heads look like they could smash the rear window.

Agreed. I think it's a little damaging to use that word. If it requires someone else to provide it - it's NOT a right because that would infringe on another's rights. It's that simple. It may be the right thing to do to

Your arrogance really shows with "hypothetically" in that context. That's part of what the article is discussing as a real issue.

There are over 1.4B Android devices worldwide. Over 13% are on the latest version. New Samsung device sales are strong. They own search and their app store. How is that not a big advantage? Sure it's overdue, but they sold over 1.4B de

True, but with Android's market share, it's pretty compelling to be able to do a "FaceTime" with anyone. That's the larger opportunity. Many people have iPhones because of FaceTime. If Google can show that you can D

Definitely. Some say lobsters can live forever since they don't age, others up to about 500 years due to telomerase and jelly fish potentially forever from being able to rejuvenate. If we can slow down our aging we could live much long

I have a theory on the popularity of certain sports, and I think it could come down to whether the sport is clear on how performances are ranked. Basically if it requires judges it will be limited in its mass market appeal. Sports that requ
