I specifically addressed zoning and the idea that short-term rentals are "hotels" in my parent post.

It's worded very poorly, too, such as "The onus is on hosts, Airbnb argues", as if there's some debate over whether 1099 contractors are responsible for their own taxes. I'm sure local governments would love to coll

Okay. Well then parents can go through and delete photos their kids want removed from Facebook. If the parent's Facebook is private, that'll probably be the end of that. Since I'm perfectly willing to do this for my child onc

Weird, I came away with just the opposite impression. Vue forces you to organize everything in a certain way: data goes in data, computed properties go in computed, methods in method... it all felt very Rails to me. React sort of used to ha
