No I believe you are right. It’s all related. Passion is love. Love is the force of creation. When we love something unconditionally, we pour the energy of creation into it. When we love with conditions/incentives (ie I love this be be

Agreed. Onlyfans is probably large enough that if they told their customers they could only accept visa or crypto payments that they would lose a lot less business than if they jettisoned their (core?) business. In fact, MasterCard might lo

Don’t rely on a “they” to solve a problem you’re passionate about. If you feel passionate about it, you should solve it!

This is really distressing, especially considering the ongoing public behavior of the original founder. Kicking out Paul seems like the opposite reaction for YC to have. It would be helpful to hear a public comment from them about this situ

You can call 311 to report issues like this to the city. However, I quickly realized that the crew isn't too happy about being called out for such matters. After reporting yet another dump on the sidewalk in front of our home, I saw th

Agreed. A "guest" could target popular listings and hide a camera without the host knowing.

If you have a dedicated group of players, like a group at work, one fun way to play Game of Thrones is to only do one round per day (usually about 30-60 minutes, perfect for a lunch break). It actually breaks the game up well, and builds th

As much as I’m a fan of meaty strategy games like Diplomacy and Game of Thrones, the best games are the ones you actually take out of the closet to play! Usually I find myself playing in groups where some people are unfamiliar with a given

Agreed. Even if I choose to have recording devices in my home, and then rent out on a temporary basis, it would be trivial for me to take them down before renting it out. Plus, I have the financial incentive to do so. Allowing hosts to have

Unless AirBNB solicits more fine-grained reviews to elicit feedback on such things, or enacts a policy around consumables, this is the direction many hosts will go. As long as it doesn't reflect in the photos, corners will be cut.

Downsides aside, one thing that AirBnB as a service provides over hotels is heterogeneity of location. Especially remote, suburban, or certain urban neighborhood locations will always be underserved by hotels, while still being desirable to

To add some background to the discussion: As a host, you are asked to check a box entitled "Surveillance or recording devices on property". If you check it, it asks you to "Describe any device that records or sends video, aud

When you stay at a hotel, you are definitely being recorded in hallways and most public areas. AirBNB should modify their policy to allow hosts to have recording devices outside their home (public spaces), but blanket ban any recording devi

I don't think most people think it through that well. I once had a guest stay in our attached guest house where we live and try to sneak in a dog (explicitly not allowed).

As an AirBNB host that manages remote properties, I think a camera that operates like this could be a good solution - provided that guests understand and trust such a system. While it wouldn't prevent a guest from trashing the place, i

Sonoma County and the greater Sonoma County are also saddled with an unbearable housing shortage caused by the 2017 fires - we wouldn't be of any help even with a better rail system. Rents are up 50%, construction bids on labor alone a

There are plenty of examples of incumbent players being disrupted by new technology. Besides better interop, what do you reckon would a competitor need to offer for it to be compelling offering to banks?

I also use a Fujitsu ScanSnap and have it save to Google Drive automatically. The unit connects directly to WiFi so. I need for a separate device to plug in to.

They clearly get as much value out of it as Tesla. Look investors, we're an innovative company too! When was the last time you saw a positive press cycle about FedEx on their own?

Fantastic article! This is precisely why founders that are novices in their industry sometimes come up with the really big ideas. As counter-intuitive as it is, it’s easier to see the duct tape when you’re looking with fresh eyes.

That is true. Words must be followed by actions to mean anything. I suppose I've gotten so jaded recently about people in power throwing their underlings under the bus (eg VW) that even statements that acknowledge the correct position

Isn’t this the same ideology of Tesla? Innovate your product via the dollars of wealthy early adopters; as cost declines, widen your reach.

Coinbase has said they've scaled their support team 2x in recent weeks. Surely that's not an easy feat and speaks to the sort of volumes they are handling at the moment.
