airbnb isnt entirely to blame, they just made the process that already existed easier for some people. This same phenomenon happens around college campuses for decades. They have special houses just for students or certain genders and many businesses cater to out of town renters. If you want changes, its at the gov. level or in regards to private property, which regulation of private property is like the opposite of what the western world is all about.

You go into any non american country and you will find a security guard at the door checking bags and they have a locker. You dont always need high tech to solve an age old problem.
No because techies have been protecting themselves against robots since day 1. They call it "security". Its everyone else who is scared, who can't tell the difference.
Just bought a 128gb ssd for around $9... I think the random access reads/writes is like below 300mb/s but its still plenty fast. I think over 500mb/s on reads. Oddly enough it fixed the "constant" 100% disk usage on windows machines.

You can input any cost BEFORE tax and it will tell you what price to sell for on ebay or amazon to make a variable profit, which you also input. You can change buy tax and sales tax and includes latest amazon and ebay algorithms on fees and fees on taxes (ebay takes your fees out of the sales tax which is variable, but amazon reports it does not). Written in javascript in the browser, so fast.
