No- They just favor business owners and the above average earners more and are highly distrustful of those not working or not making enough money. Extreme capitalists!

An average Canadian or American cannot compete with the ill-gotten wealth of corrupt individuals in China, Africa or anywhere else. Those corrupt individuals are investing in these properties taking advantage of the stable and lawful market

I have the opposite opinion. I just use priceline to get get a good deal on a hotel. Its always cheaper than airbnb. Plus its a pain to browse through hundreds of listing to try and figure out the catch in an Airbnb listing because of the n

They could be - if they spend a bit on improving the UI (look and feel) and a enable payment processing and they'd instantly be comparable to Airbnb. I use them 50%, 40% hotels and 10% Airbnb on my vacations.

The only reason I still have yahoo as my homepage is the the comments on the top stories. While most are low quality, there are some very clever comments and I feel I get a better sense of what everyday people are thinking about it.

I don't think that's what they mean. Its hidden from the candidate and the candidate doesn't know whats in it - except from the result of that application. but only the candidate can decide which employers to show it to. Weir

Its a race against the market slowdown. The 6 months cooling (waiting time) is going to be the most nerve racking for employees wanting to sell.

Fresno to Silicon Valley is very bad road route (single lanes, towns, redlights) with no major highway and very poor Greyhound/Amtrak connection. It will be great to have an HSR instead of the 3 hr drive.

The genie is out of the bottle. No company can afford to hire it's contractors as fulltime. Their cost would double. There's 2 things that can happen 1. Move to automate or offshore these jobs 2. Bring parity to fulltime or contra

Valuations in Silicon Valley are not based on some rational price to earnings multiple. It is based on what investors think a large monopoly like SAP, MSFT, GOOG, CRM, etc would pay for it. Even the 8 times revenue is not a good benchmark a

Can hotels start converting their rooms into apartments and start renting out to families? If Airbnb is taking business away from hotels shouldn't this work?

I can't comprehend why companies in strong positions need to acquire the strongest company in a new category at a premium. I'd think they'd want to buy the 3rd or 4th ranked player in that category for a fraction of the price
