If you have a room filled with speakers basically.. You are going to have phasing issues.

"tax stamps from before and after Prohibition's passage"

because the after part?? less stamps sold post prohibition than pre would be an indication of less use.

I would not mess with Saint Johns wart. It will make you feel happy and cheery; but side effects are brutal. And if you participate in other drugs it might have harsh side effects.

Women want sex just as much as men. And they want it on the same scale as men(some people like to have sex all the time.. some less so). They make up about 50% of the population. If you are having problem finding sex with someone it's not the other genders fault; but your own.

What neighborhood are you in?

Thanks Obama.

Also when you throw rent control into the math.. the calculation used is non-linear and way below 211; very very quickly; because of flat monthly revenue of rent control vs. monthly increase in revenue from an upward market. I would suggest you revisit the math.. or ask to see the data of who did the math for you.

It's just your argument requires me to believe...

"In the past year, only about 340 units in SF were rented on Airbnb more than 211 nights, which is what Airbnb has calculated as the break-even point compared to long-term rental."

This just didn't sound right; and doing the quick math with the average one bedroom going for 3500.. To reach that 211 day number would mean that rentals on air bnb are going for about 200.

But doing a search in SF for air bnb the average rental is 422.. Now some of these are multi room, and some are just a couch.. but I can't seem to find a single 1 bedroom non-share for under 260.

This makes that 211 figure feel like its off. Which makes me feel that the 340 units is off.

Can we see the calculations used? Also is there a big jump in those units at 210 days.. 200 or 182..

I mean as a land lord if you only have to work half the year and make only a little less revenue; plus the positive of less liabilities I could see my self wanting to air bnb over rent out my unit.

A guy with a bias; is trying to tell me that lessoning supply in a super high demand region is only nominally effecting prices.

my head is spinning..

My answer would be simple. Roll my eyes. Stand up, and walk out the door.

That definition makes no assumption about a groups contribution; as the definition is indifferent of the socio-economic system at hand (free-market, closed market, communal, etc) if the distribution of privilege and goods is different for individuals depending on race then there is a system of racism at hand.

1. I never said "only in America". Racism, and classism are prevalent all over the world. My example even lists both a US and Foreign example. And racism isn't only with whites.

2. There is tons of evidence that whites get favored in pretty much everything from home loans borrowing rates, being accepted to rent a house, pay, and the number of times they get pulled over by a cop.

Racism is the unequal distribution of privilege, and goods dependent on race. It does not deal with race distribution in a population. However seeing racism should even be more apparent when the race with power is in the minority population. A good example would be South Africa in apartheid; or the south during segregation.

But basically if this kid was white, and was named Chris(the christian equivalent of Mohamed).. He would not have been subjugated to any of this. That is privilege that is racism.

He has a point.

blind faith vs. logical rational ... being in the in the first business of selling to people(or employees) that work off of blind faith has always been way more profitable in at least power, and sometimes even money.

You would think that "rivalseek.com" would appear at the top of a search for "seek rivals"

I'm not shifting anything.

How can one have agency if they don't know that there is an opportunity?

i.e.

If an opportunity is open to all; but is only presented to one class then you are in general only going to get applicants from the class that you presented the opportunity too.

The percent ratio based on class of participants should be in range of the percent ratio of possible people qualified by class.

And as I stated.. The failure of not being near this percent is either because how you chose your participants from applicants or how you chose to get people to be applicants.

When say you chose people solely on relevance and quality, but you only have men as speakers.. Then it's laughable that your system for choosing speakers isn't biased.

Percentages shouldn't be the reason why you hire or don't hire someone but they should be a measure of how much bias is in your system for choosing persons of varying classes. If your percent of xyz participants in the majority class is way higher than the distribution in the possible applicants then there is some sort of class bias(economic, race, socio) in either how you choose applicants, or in how you get applicants.

"nobody goes there anymore it's too crowded"

I've never in my life wanted to draw a bar code or QR.. Also I can hand-write a URL which both a human and OCR can read. So this all seems pointless.. outside of it possibly being a fun exercise to par take in.

Seems expensive. Can do the same thing with a shared resource in google calendar.

"Varshavskaya approached multiple big tech companies this year, in part to gauge interest in acquiring her company, multiple sources told Re/code. The company has also been talking to investors about raising new funding, these people said.

When asked for comment on the above, Varshavskaya did not directly address any of it.

“We’re heads down at the moment with a ton going on, so we’re staying focused on that for the time being,”"

translates to..

"Our model doesn't work.. we're heads down trying to see if anyone will buy us or if we can come up with a completely new idea. If someone will fund us during this time; That'll be really cool."

"JavaScript’s choice to build OOP out of simple parts–objects, functions, and properties–makes the development of new ideas possible."

They did things like every other language basically. Everything is a pointer, and types are just abstractions we placed on things. So Functions, Objects, Properties can be passed around just like any other variable or even merged together fairly easily. Some languages hide this from you.. some require that you ask very nicely if you do things like this(pascal).. and others simply don't care what you do(c++).

And when you are at a hotel and people are acting up.. You can go to the manager.

What happens when your neighbor decides to rent their place via Air BNB, And folks are noisy and disrespectful.. Who do you complain to?? The home owner?? Do you think he's going to kick the people out? They are a revenue stream, and you are not.

Well.. you may say. I'll call the cops. Ok. Your neighbor gets a warning.. then eventually a 300 dollar fine.. Your neighbor can afford a few fines a month from a few random loud nights as long as the air bnb money keeps coming in. In fact your neighbor will need to make sure their place is full more nights if you start calling the cops.

Through democratic means?

So you're building a camping company that is for people who don't camp much.

Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean.

Water, water, every where, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, every where, Nor any drop to drink.
