> And yet multibillion dollar companies whose entire business is illegally running hotels or taxis get nowhere near the vitriol?
I have perturbed many electrons around here on both illegal taxi companies and shitty world-burning cryptography. I contain the capacity to think more than one thing is awful society-corroding trash.
Yes, Uber and Airbnb should not have been allowed to get away with it either. That doesn't mean we should allow new companies to run the same "break the law and try to grow as fast as possible so by the time the government catches up, you're already entrenched" playbook for the sake of foolish consistency; just the opposite: it increases the urgency with which companies trying to do that should be rapidly brought to heel. Which is exactly what is happening.
Sure, but Airbnb isn't trying to replace a core societal institution and subvert hundreds of years of financial law. While also if you're American violating the constitution...
Make it at least five; I've been calling Uber and AirBnB all kinds of things for at least as long, and I was neither the first nor the most vocal one here.
Sodium batteries will have any effect only in a few years. So this is mostly the case of increased production in anticipation of stronger demand that has not realized.
The latter is not necessary an indication of a less demand for batteries. There were a lot of progress recently in increase of the energy density in mass-produced batteries, and that may contributed to lessening of the demand.
My sleep study cost roughly $2300 with insurance (US). I purchased my own machine and supplies because going through insurance requires you to rent the machine. It phones home and if you don’t use it every night it impacts your coverage! No thanks. You need a script to purchase the machine too which you need a sleep study to get. Then billed periodically for supplies. Also, the initial settings they configured for the machine did not work and I had to adjust them on my own using an application called OSCAR. The website CPAP talk is a great place for folks who are new to using a machine btw. I definitely still feel ridiculous putting a mask on every night but it has been absolutely life changing for my energy levels and health. Please do not delay if you think you have this - I promise it is worth it!
That's Jason Sazama a.k.a. TheLankyLefty27. He's good, he knows about UARS and flow limitation. His experience with bilevel/ASV modalities is very limited though.
Handshake requires domain owners to pay a biennial "mining fee" to maintain their names, even for names that were "airdropped" to FOSS projects. This is no less of a grift than ICANN.
Oh, that's nice of Handshake. Definitely it makes sense to me now that Handshake should be able to sell the domain namespace! Why not, if they're going to donate to FOSS?
My question to you is: if I donate MAC addresses to FOSS projects, can I tokenize ARP? I promise to be nice about it. The first 10,000 IP addresses can have their ARPCoin for free.
Seriously, this FOSS donation thing with Handshake: it's like selling people the Brooklyn Bridge, but promising generous new bike lanes. See, the FOSS stuff? It wasn't the problem with the plan.
What about everyone else after the 100k? What recourse are they left with when their domain is/was taken by another party? Which party should own the domain? How would doubly registered domains be resolved?
They will remain on their original tld, so brand.com will remain brand.com, they just won't automatically receive their own brand tld, unless they manually start the auction themselves.
so those below 100k were not reserved, a squatter bought their brand tld, what recourse do they have? What about new brands that have reached the 100k mark since the great reservation?
if a brand was not significant enough to reach internet search significance why should they be entitled to their own tld? why should be some company "co" from country x be more entitled to their own tld than the company co with the same name from country y?
If they feel they are, they can a) manually start and win the auction b) buy the tld c) use an alternative like .brandHQ,.getbrand,.usebrand or whatever d) just keep using their original domain brand.com, which is the most simple and straight forward solution that requires no effort on their part.
By your logic the evolution of the internet would forever stagnate because developers would be stuck reserving an infinite amount of tlds that keep on popping up, it's just unrealistic and not pragmatic. reserving 100k of the most popular domains is a good faith effort and a pragmatic solution.
And if you want to talk about fairness let's first start talking about the corruption of ICANN[0][1][2] before criticizing emerging solutions.
I'm pretty sure I was asking about edge cases that are hard to deal with so that I might understand how the other party thinks before formulating deeper opinions.
No and that's exactly the problem, we're not on reddit. You asked me a question and I elaborated in a detailed manner to which you responded in a low quality manner with no substance which was just name calling.
>I'm pretty sure I was asking about edge cases that are hard to deal with so that I might understand how the other party thinks before formulating deeper opinions.
I gave several perfectly valid solutions that are pragmatic and realistic, if you don't like them, then you can point them out and explain your reasoning but resorting to hand-wavy rants won't be constructive or helpful for any serious dialogue.
How does the rule in any shape or form contradict what I have stated?
It says: "The domain must not collide with a higher-ranked domain. For example, google.co.uk would lose to google.com. Only the owner of the higher-ranked domain is able to redeem it"
Point is that many developers invested a lot of time and effort into establishing rules for reservation to maximize fairness, so when a domain is not reserved my statement above applies: why would some company co in country x be more entitled to the one in country y? After all the reservation rules have been applied and determined some specific reservation outcome. There are some proposed solutions in that case too, some of which I have outlined before.
>Why should any brand be entitled to such things?
Exactly, but you are the one making a fuss about in the first place.
>Can you quote where I did this? I could for you
I already did, it's your rant directly to my long elaboration to your question. I'm not going to further entertain your flame baits, everybody can see how much effort each of us put into thoughtful responses and can judge accordingly.
Perhaps, but I've never seen anything to reveal scripted moderator communications on HN. Unless Dang is an AGI, which increasingly seems not out of the question ^^.
The hand is relevant on the calling side. Poker doesn't work on the principle of "I called your bluff and so I win!". If you call a bluff with a worse hand, you still lose the pot.
If you call an "all in", you will have to beat the hand of your opponent. So the fact that she had a TERRIBLE hand is definitely relevant here. No sane person, let alone a PRO player, would call an all in with such an horrible hand as she had, since even if he was bluffing, a simple 22 pair would beat her nothing hand. She was cheating 100%, the fact that she returned the money and didn't call the theft of another 15k, from the guy that probably was her accomplice, is just the icing on the cake, it's the "ok whatever you guys want, just leave me alone and let's not talk about it anymore".
A ToC is there as an On This Page block just under the first image near the top .. the section title lines following are links to deeper in the page document.
But all of the useful bits that I would want to navigate to directly a month from now are subheadings under those top-level headings. The TOC should contain all relevant subheadings, not just the top-level headings

Airbnb clearly causes harm for locals in popular tourist cities.
