   I don't see why the owner wouldn't get harassed by the neighbors for being loud, plus trashing the place is one of the common 'party' related complaints. However, guest reviews cannot be updated, so I can see how learnin

   Not taking a position here, but just to answer the question on the face of it. Yes, AirBnB is in the same market as hotels. The market is short term rental property, not property management services. Supply chain is how one obtains inventor

   I've only had good experiences with AirBnB. Almost exclusively the issue here seems to be guest partying and abuse of the property. Is this really true? How is it the guest rating system doesn't quickly eliminate guests that ca

   I'm from the VFX industry. I have a hard time understanding the logic of your last sentence. "just wanted native dialogs and widgets to automate things" is pretty much exactly the benefit of QML in the way I use it for produ

   What a lot of people don't seem to realize about Qt Quick (as apposed to using C++/Qt Widgets), is that it's like a game engine. People seem to think its akin to HTML and JS, i.e. 'interpreted' scripting language,

   These are very old studies. It is now known that ADHD is a genetic disorder. In fact it has unusually high correlation. It is absolutely not caused by environmental factors. Though there is one virus (that I'm aware of) that may c

   This is FUD. ADHD is well researched, and well understood by those who study it. The problem is that people think ADHD is just an issue of self discipline or attentiveness. It is not. It is a serious disorder with serious effects that ar

   I use Instapaper daily to have the playlist read articles to me while I'm in transit. I love this, oddly exclusive, feature and would pay to see improvements in that direction. However, I do not care for Pinterest at all . I have cre

    For me the ability to have articles read to me on my phone while on the go is the key feature. I pay because of that feature alone, and would pay a LOT more to see general improvements in that direction. Without that it's just anoth

    This is demonstrably not true. Just send mail to an email list that you are on. The email will be sent (confirm with other list members), however you will not receive it when it is relayed to the group by the listserver. (Or was your comme

    Yep, this is me too. They took $9.22, and lost me as a customer forever. Clearly didn't hurt them much. Hmm, maybe I should reconsider my business plan.

    Nausea inducing incongruous locomotion is of course an absolute fail. But that is not a problem unique to VR, and for the most part you know it going in if you're likely to get motion sickness. The actual issues with VR of eye fatig

    Yep, this is the problem. And we've known about it for more than a decade. I tested using VR when we were building the Virtual Production system for Avatar back in the summer 2005. We were seeing if it would help the actor's eye

    I have found it unnecessarily distracting to evaluate reputable databases on incidental features. If an important feature is missing it will be added eventually, if you need a very specific feature then you already have your answer as to w

    Oh god yes! Worst invention EVER. Modal dialogue boxes are for lazy programming not for UI. Almost nothing in real life is modal. Don't break a user's flow! We just built a full application platform (i.e. dev kit, apps, applic

    While my code here is definitely hackish, I can't argue with that, I have to say I'm hard pressed to see how running a container to activate a driver is hackish when the comparison at hand is modifying the Docker CLI and requiring

    This seems like unnecessary additional structure. I was one of the first to build dockerized apps with nvidia drivers[1] and it's as easy as building the drivers and running modprobe in a privileged (driver only) container. All other

    I'll add... If you find yourself disagreeing with this article, or depressed by what seems like a cynical outlook consider this example. If you are a child who believes in Santa. Would you not rave against a world in which Santa no lo

    I think the reference to consumerism leads ones understanding astray. It's is not particularly more apropos to consumerism then any other context of meaning. Religion, self image, ambition, love life, are all equally relevant here. You

    I do know how mining pools work. One could indeed do what you are saying. What I am saying, however, is that one wouldn't. It does not make any sense economically or in terms of risk of arrest. Either you have pissed off miners (&quot

    This does not serve as a tumbling mechanism because the participants aren't peers. The coins went all one direction from source to many destinations. If those many destinations don't, in turn, pay the source back in some way you
