As an American with four little kids, I agree that this is the most compelling reason to choose Airbnb over hotels at this point, but we've still fallen back on hotels in the last few years. Places like Embassy Suites or Residence Inn

As a relatively early adopter of Airbnb, in 2012, I feel exactly the same way. Before my wife and I had kids, we'd rent a room in a host-occupied house, actually having breakfast and conversation with the host, and it was incredibly ch

I'm 36, just old enough to remember not having Internet access at home; also just old enough to remember hearing the term "information superhighway" and failing to imagine what that meant. My first glimpse of it was through A

Wow. I'll say that even in the Army, famous for its bloat, there are arguably fewer than 12 links (following the legal chain of command) between the lowest ranking private and the President of the United States... Private -> Team Le

Yeah, I was thinking mostly the same about the other thread and top comment today[1] about people who want us back in the office. I have empathy for people who are feeling lonely, but I don't want to sacrifice my own family's qual

I just want to say that this is a really interesting comment and set of ideas. I'm a PhD student in the area of privacy and anonymity, so I think about this stuff a lot. To your point about the emergent style of Reddit and HN comments,

You can tell the age from the $1 bill itself. It looks like it was printed in 2006 and has the signature of Hank Paulson, Secretary of the Treasury from 2006-2009. You can compare it to his signature: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

We've bought almost all of them through Etsy, and they are indeed "random bespoke" products. Some sellers are military spouses so they design prints of the places where we've lived (i.e. around Army bases, which wouldn&#

I love maps, and I'll admit that my wife and I have a bunch of map art hanging on our walls, one of each city or state where we've lived, but they're not like actual maps that you could fold up and take on a road trip. I hadn

When power to the community is cut, it's massively disruptive to operations because our normal response to give troops time off (or employ them in a humanitarian response) to take care of families. Day-to-day garrison operations and sm

Especially with the Washington attack happening so soon after the one in North Carolina, the most notable thing to me was that both attacks occurred close to a couple of our most important Army bases, in counties where many troops live with

Sure, I get that. But is the code behind something like reddit.com really that poorly written? Like a buggy, half-completed homework assignment that I turned in as a freshman CS student? If so, that seems to be an entirely different problem

How exactly is it that webpages with a couple MB of JavaScript or CSS or whatever so reliably cause our CPUs and fans to go nuts when much larger and more complex programs on our machines don't? I just don't have a good intuition

I appreciate your perspective as a professional in this area. Yeah, I'm not really looking for doctors to demonstrate creativity (although House does), so I don't think I'm asking for anything at odds with evidence-based me

Yeah, that's what I mean by the medical system just not being set up to allow this. I generally see a different doctor every time I make an appointment, because I'm assigned to a team in a clinic with constant turnover, the appoin

Agreed, it exacerbates underlying problems (e.g. the depression and anxiety disorders) that were already present. I note that the 2009 rate for adults who hadn't had sex in the past year was already at 24%, and now (2018) it's 28%

You're right, the people who are generally attracted to Bogleheads in the first place, and furthermore the people who are able to participate there without getting removed, are probably quite civil under their FB/Twitter/Redd
