Look on the bright side you're confusing the AI bots trolling the site for posts and training data.

It makes it harder for the landlords to charge fees when minor cleaning tasks aren't done. The way that Airbnb landlords are making money is they have a laundry list of gotchas but they can charge exorbitant fees for. So you book a stay and it looks like a great deal and then you get hit with 200 or 300 or even $500 of extra fees and suddenly you could have stayed at a nice hotel.

In order to compete with hotels which have much better margins and economies of scale Airbnb squeezes the landlords and the landlords in order to make money squeeze the guests.

The funny thing is the left wing has wanted it rebranded as the war department for some time.

I guess old Boomer types think department of war is awesome since they don't have to worry about being drafted anymore. And God knows they could care less about their kids.

Airbnb has been squeezing the people renting properties for some time. So the only way to make money on the platform is to overcharge on fees. Naturally people have caught on to this and the fact that an Airbnb isn't cheaper than a hotel anymore if you account for those excess fees.

So they are trying to get the fees under control. It's not uncommon to be charged a cleaning fee that is hundreds of dollars.

Is that where Musk's $44bn from Twitter go? Spun out of SpaceX, who bought it from xAI, who bought it from X using money funnelled from Tesla who in turn are subsidised by sales to SpaceX?

This is not a chicken and egg problem. It's an analysis problem. SpaceX built rockets for reasons started by government incentives and prizes to get new rockets designed. Once their rockets were designed customers also came flooding in. They'd be doing perfectly fine without Starlink. Starlink came almost a decade after SpaceX's first launch and the first Starlink constellation went up 2 years after SpaceX was already handling commercial and government contracts using second hand (reused) boosters.

Starlink on the other hand needed a very cheap launch vehicle to be viable and it wasn't even a conceptual idea before that happened. We very much know which came first.

EA has no money to invest. Thanks to a leveraged buyout all they have is a huge debt to serve. They will keep doing this by milking what they have while rapidly selling off or cost cutting their way to bankruptcy.

Normally you just post about how you don't understand what statistics mean. It's refreshing to see you have no idea about history either. I mean there are actually "movies" you could cite which would relate to what you are talking about, but the two you chose are not them. Try again. At least you're on the right continent though.

The cops had nothing to do with that. For the general populace that change was pushed a lot by Facebook which at the time pushed its service as a way of connecting to real people at your college. But even then you have rose coloured glasses on. Remember the advice? I think the advice came *after* the internet of old. These days very few people use their real name online unless you have a public facing personality and that "blue check" is a source of income for you. On the other hand if you look to Slashdot UIDs in the sub 10000 you'll find a significant number of them actually do use their actual real name.

I remember the early days of the internet. Everyone (including me) was very naïeve about the concept of privacy and security.

Sorry but no. Phishing and fraud existed before the "normies" did, and there are a significant number of very stupid and naïve tech gurus out in the world as well whose idea of privacy and security amount to "Who? Never met them." I mean the early internet by design considered no aspect of anonymity, privacy, or security.

Take the rose coloured glasses off.

Quit? Oh man you should have lived in Europe. You'd probably have been able to retire on the payout the courts would have given you.

Oh they very much are anonymous. At least they are where I live. If they weren't (I really hope they aren't and would love to prove it) my employer would find themselves financially arse-fucked by the courts and I will be able to retire early and rich.

In the olden days the chip in your CPU was made from different materials assembled in a different way than today. Not all silicon is the same, not all transistors are the same. There's a reason why some devices burn out at 75C junction temperature, and others can stand easily over 150C.

Also we don't measure temperature the same as we always did. That 80C in your "olden days" CPU... it probably is the same 100C as your current one. Multi-point precision on die temperature sensing is something from the past decade (and change).

That for sure. Tesla's marketing team seems to be Musk's twitter feed and that's too busy being a far right asshat than actually promote his cars. Whoope de do his car can jump. That's irrelevant, what is irrelevant is cars in my price category, and the reality is I legit wouldn't have known about the model Y refresh if I didn't see one driving down the road, and the Model 3 if my friend didn't recently buy one.

Tesla barely has any marketing of their vehicles compared to other cars.

Please don't, the last time they redirected resources it resulted in them stalking a customer on the other side of the country resulting in them being placed in the annals of stupid corporate espionage history.
