http://insideairbnb.com/reports/platform-failures-how-short-... This is an interesting read about the market effects Airbnb has caused. They’re definitely moving prices and removing units from the market.

I’d go with a percentage instead of flat fee. Or some tiered structure to the flat fee. Some of these mega hosts own 40+ properties.

Where exactly in CA? I live in an apartment on a quiet street and the worst noise problem I have is the upstairs neighbors have a heavy dog that likes to jump around.

I don’t mind tipping, as it incentivizes people to perform better than standard work. I can’t see being forced to pay 20% to someone that can bring food on time for instance. Either way, this is Airbnb, the owner of the property sets the “w

I’ve always answered that I use both Linux and Mac (recently I had to add windows as well) as I write on a Mac and run it on Linux. Regardless you shouldn’t just answer it as whatever your thin client is running as then the WSL option doesn

When it’s my time to go, I want to go. All of this trauma caused to family members isn’t worth it. This seems like a desperate attempt to save something that will end regardless of your actions. Property goes to the immediate next of kin in

> treatment are forced into a hospice because they are not allowed to choose euthanasia. Killing babies is OK and now so is euthanasia? But suicide is used as ammunition to remove access to guns?

The interesting thing I find is with COVID vaccines. How many people were lambasted for not listening to their DR?

I miss my mother, and almost lost my dad to literally the same lung cancer. His was caused by welding. The thing is, we were poor and he was totally cured. Missing a portion of his lung, but cured. They even paid for him to change careers.

Here you go, a perfect example just came up: https://www.foxnews.com/us/retired-navy-seal-made-famous-com... While CNN has many many articles on the individual, they’re missing this one.

Twitter does not speak when someone posts. This is a ridiculous take on free speech and is a bit concerning if you actually think this way.

Sure, but you still need to run redis vs click a couple of buttons and create a queue, offloading the entire management to AWS staff.

We’re just the next new model away. AI researches seem apt on burning the world down to see what comes out of it, so this absolutely is the goal.

The current crop of AI didn’t exist 5 years ago. Generative AI art was still a pipe dream. Now it has a command prompt.

I agree with you for the most part, however the fact that humans can determine a cat from a chair by being shown one cat proves that humans receive more data than some AI with sensors. Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your statement.

For now, 2-3 years ago it couldn’t even generate code. 2-3 years from now will be very different.

If you read my post again I point out the contradiction. Read it again. Yea I’m not sure my job has many older people, nor would they care about their insurance costs.

No, my point is more the left self censors, at least the major papers. They focus more on building narratives than reporting news. That’s my point. If you want a better example I’d have to dig one up.
