Airbnb doesn't own the properties. They should be giving credit to the hosts.

How does it look with population increase taken into account?
Re:Amazon raises minimum wage to $15 for all US employees on Tuesday October 02, 2018 @09:44AM (#18121548)
This is minimum. It should apply to people with no experience, in training, or living in the middle of no where. There is no reason to live in an expensive city if you can make the exact same amount of money in a cheap city.
Maybe an antitrust break up of Google will be a good thing.

I can't find your website through Google. Do you mind linking it?

Do you have any partners in the US?

Surprised someone didn't make an Android competitor with Inferno OS. It was already part way there to being a mobile OS.

Re:Inside Hillary Clinton’s Secret Takeover of the DNC on Friday November 03, 2017 @05:57AM (#15617896)
Nice, fill us in on what we don't know. I also think there is a lot of confusion as people aren't separating the DNC hacks and the Podesta email leaks.

From the Twitter hack it seems that people still had access to his Gmail in October. Unless they someone how got that password a different way. Or it was password re-use.

Re:Inside Hillary Clinton’s Secret Takeover of the DNC on Friday November 03, 2017 @05:30AM (#15617788)
Does a phishing attack and leaking that podesta's passwords were p@ssw0rd and runner1234 on to 4chan need explanation? I was monitoring 4chan when the password leaks happened. People were posting screenshots of tracking his iPad. Changing his bus schedule from NY to DC on Nov 8 to Nov 11. Tweeting that he converted and became a Trump supporter ( https://archive.fo/Cv6hK - note the "hi pol" this is a reference to the pol board on 4chan). And eventually wiping his iPad. Maybe the Russians downloaded a copy of all his emails during this chaos but trust me at least another dozen people did the same. He didn't realise his passwords were leaked onto 4chan for at least 12 hours. Quite honestly I do not trust any report that doesn't document what was happening on 4chan during these "hacks" as trust worthy.

So far I haven't seen any journalist go to the effect to document exactly what happened to Podesta on the day his passwords were leaked to 4chan.

Edit: I found this on slashdot from the time of the password leaks. https://mobile.slashdot.org/story/16/10/13/2025257/4chan-hac...

Edit 2: More proof that regular people gained access to his Gmail account. Seemingly whoever gained access to his twitter account did so via a password reset using his Gmail address. https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/78662164964259840...

This for me is the ultimate card that the leaks weren't a grand conspiracy to elect Trump. Rather a security illiterate person got completely owned by trolls on the internet.

Edit 3: Further more, if the Russians were really behind the phishing to capture Podesta's passwords why would they leak on 4chan where they would end up losing their control of his accounts? A state actor would try to maintain access for as long as possible. A troll would rather see everything explode.

You can get the VPS range as cloud servers for the exact same price. Then you get all the cloud features including private network.

I guess they are keeping the old VPS range as it seems many people find cloud hosting too advance.

Re:Introducing Surface Book 2 on Tuesday October 17, 2017 @06:24PM (#15495493)
Using the Xiaomi Notebook 12 inch without a fan. Surprisingly, 4GB with 2 NVME drives is good enough for me. This is switching from xps 13 i7 with 8GB ram.

My one supports NVME in both slots so I don't know what other people on the internet who are saying the 12 inch doesn't support NVME are on about. I have the Kaby Lake version.

I have a 8GB swap which I guess is fast enough as its on the second NVME.

Already patched in Arch linux. Just updated all my systems.
Client may be enough. Depends on the AP and only the manufacturer can accurately answer that question.
If I owned Cloudflare this is the direction I'd go. Ads without the MBs of bloat that existing ad networks add.

As a cloudflare customer and an everyday internet I am thankful cloudflare hasn't gone in this direction.

Yeah its a politic war. I believe it all started when some people on the left got some companies to pull their ads from some right wing Fox anchor. Unless someone knows of events older than this?

How do they lose money on CPU? Even if they were buying their CPUs at full retail (they aren't), break even would be less than 12 months.

Buggy as hell. Doesn't render things as expected. I'm using headless chrome for pdf generation internally and couldn't be happier. I directly call chrome from the command line it couldn't be simpler. I don't know why people need all these wrappers.

Re:Google AMP is bad for e-commerce on Wednesday August 16, 2017 @05:38PM (#15031600)
Fact is, Google would already have a complete profile on you for advertising purposes even without AMP. They offer more than enough services that track you that they don't really need AMP for tracking purposes.

Have you tried TestCafe? I have had good experience with TestCafe on a recent project. The development team are very responsive to bug fixing and stability.
