Me neither. I think there's a pretty big gulf between "no-frills 1BR in a major city" type rentals and "cutesy 3BR getaway near hiking trails" type rentals. The former are cheap to set up and have a lot of dodgy h

I empathize, but there are terrible hotels too, right? It sounds to me like you're better at distinguishing decent hotels from fleabags than you are at distinguishing good rentals from bad ones.

The number of school shooting victims in the US looks small compared to the number of suicide victims, and it also looks small compared to the number of cancer victims, or the number of car crash victims, or the distance to the moon in inch

Of course it's hard to do, but that doesn't change the fact that getting rid of most guns is clearly and obviously the way to significantly reduce the amount of gun violence in the US. Contesting this is too silly to take serious

Yeah, I'm curious how common this is. If anyone has done it/is doing it successfully, could you share more about the approach? It sounds valuable in theory but it also sounds like a ton of time during which people can half-liste

I regularly interview devs and ask, "What makes a RESTful API RESTful?" and have never heard anyone mention hypertext or hypermedia. A typical answer is: stateless, uses HTTP and HTTP verbs, and (if the person is over 40) easier

And in the meantime, they choose not to rent it why? The intuitive answer is: they're hard to rent, because there's way more luxury condos available to be rented than people who want to rent them, and it was a bad investment that

No idea why you're being downvoted. This meme (rich people buying luxury condos, letting them sit vacant, and then profiting somehow) doesn't make any sense, and that article posted as evidence for it undermines it by depicting t

Sure, but I don't believe anyone advocated switching to jquery (or, a few years later, getting rid of it) consciously thinking it was a useless thing to do; and similarly I don't believe any biz person introduces a process thinkin

Only barely relevant, but this seems like as good a place to ask as any: is anyone here in a position to explain why it not possible to reload an imported ES2016 module at runtime? In the old 'require' days this was easy: delete i

That only works if your opponent is playing along. I don't mean they have to be nice or civil, but they do have to be consistent. There's no point trying to e.g. establish shared definitions for a key term if your opponent is no

Conflating homosexuality with pedophilia has been a thing since before there was a gay rights movement. Has it occurred to you that maybe your outgroup hears more of your ingroup's worst arguments than you do?

Er, did you read the news between like 2005 and 2015? Opposition to gay marriage was fairly prominent. It certainly seems to have died down since then, but I would've said the same thing about the pro-life movement until this week.

I understand where you're coming from, but the position that religious fundamentalist activists aren't particularly interested in keeping gays from marrying would seem to be contradicted by their behavior over the last two decades

I think you missed the phrase "in abortion" in the sentence you quoted. You may feel that those positions are contradictory or hypocritical, but it's disingenuous to act as if pro-choice people agree. Edit: also, if you&#x27
