I think it does still fill something like that mid-point if you're staying with a host instead of renting your own private space. I haven't generally had social hosts most of the times I was staying with airbnb, but I'm also

I'm not sure I understand how these are related? It's not as if they're intentionally sending you bad guests to torment you as a "clever way" to screw you...

I think a lot of it is in what your expectations are - I've had plenty of odd experiences with AirBnB, but nothing catastrophic, but I think that's because I've mostly been trying to use it for things that are not a hotel-lik

My guess would be that most people calling in to a call on Zoom from their phone are leaving it on speakerphone and not holding it up to their ear/mouth like you would with an old land-line phone. Opening up an omni-directional mic tha

This doesn't seem entirely true though - especially with news. There's a central organization at, say, Slate, that's responsible for hiring, editing, and fact-checking what they publish. Sure, some writers are going to be bet

On one hand, now is a fun/important time to be messing with your side gamble. It'd be like if a betting site went down the day of the Super Bowl. If you're just using RH to gamble and day-trade, periods of high volatility are

I don't see how it's worse to do it on a phone than your laptop, or over the phone with a broker via a voice call? Most folks I know who use RH just use it as a fun little side gamble/game. Small-ish amounts of money, somethi

Yea, I just see it as an added benefit that may or may not have value to me. My current job has a happy-hour on Fridays with beer/snacks, but I'm usually not around late enough in the day to attend. That said, once a month or so,

I can't speak to that company's motivations, but my current position has similar amenities (showers with soap, basic toiletries in the bathroom, food/drinks readily available) and I don't think anyone here's been pu

It can be multiple people's fault. If he knows it will upset his parents to not be able to call him, and at this point clearly knows that they're going to bother his friends instead, that's still a decision he's making.

I remember plenty of annoyance in those days! My friends' families being on the phone for hours and making it impossible to reach them. Having to get off the internet so someone could make a call. Having whole systems to make sure the

I always find this sort of "Just don't have your mind work like that then." response to be almost completely inane motivational poster sloganeering. If I could choose what annoys me, I'd love to just not pick anything. I

Another good example of this sort of behavior - I know someone who doesn't carry any credit cards and prefers to pay cash for everything where possible. This is generally fine, however, since they're responsible enough to be carry

Sure, but in my experience, most robo-calls don't actually leave messages. I maybe get a message every week or two, but I'll have multiple spam calls per day that are sent to my voicemail. It's also not immediate. I can check

There is/was also a profound difference between /b/ and most of the rest of 4chan though. Not all of the site is /b/, that's just the most famous. It definitely set some of the culture of the other boards, but

Once you're in the court system of most any country, what things you legally can and can't do are a lot harder to enforce. You're essentially needing to fight a well-trained opponent on their home turf with biased referees an

It can solve it in a literal way that doesn't actually meaningfully change the societal problems of Homelessness. If, for example, we thought it vital that everyone own a car and drive everywhere, and that people walking to work was a

They're analogs in only the most surface way though. There's no "Computer Science Draft" where companies get to pick you and lock you into a contract that you must accept no matter which company it is. Sure, things like

I think the question is "Is there a better deal that's possible without bankrupting the studio?" When it comes to it, a lot of game companies are essentially running like startups, but without the massive gluts of VC funding

I believe it's not too hard to do in some countries. It's usually to partition your travel history somewhat to avoid incidents. I know in the past, I'd heard that people in the US who had to do business in the middle east wou

So, teaching anything is certainly advocacy in the literal sense. Your math teacher is an advocate for you learning math, and the importance of math. I wouldn't say that's political advocacy, because most people would agree that t

If anything, I drink only for taste and loathe how the alcohol makes me feel. I love the taste of a good beer or cocktail, and often regret that it's alcoholic, since I have to drink less to be responsible with my health.

I'm not totally sure it would. Going 20+ MPH on a bike only makes the safety issues worse, without making the commute all that much faster in a way that would reduce how long I'm in the hot/cold/rain.

Humanitarian isn't really the right word, but it's good advice even if you're not being evil about it. If you have to give out bad news, it's better to be quick and complete about it than have rumors swirling for weeks,

I'm not sure if "convenient" is really the right word for it. I recently moved to a new job, and my commute is now 20-30 minutes by car. My new office has bike facilities and showers, and isn't too far from public transi

That doesn't mean they're not expensive in other ways - It's enjoyable, but actively dating can be both emotionally taxing and just time-consuming, especially in the initial stages when you're working out if you like som

And ESPECIALLY with Uber. They've had month-long disasters that were worse than this that didn't push out anyone too critical.
