Anywhere you could build a hotel you could also build more housing, so they pose the same issue. There is necessarily some tension between using space for permanent housing and using it for tourism / short term stays. Tourism often keeps a city's economy healthy, and having short term stays is important for those visiting even for non-tourism reasons (e.g. in town to visit family, for work, etc).

The housing issue is more complex than just Airbnb / short-term housing as well: is there enough housing investment? what is the effect of international or corporate investment? are local regulations supporting or sabotaging the effort to build more housing? is there a large speculation market?

Feels like a possibly important but unrelated issue. Is there some connection to billboards?

Baldur’s Gate 3 is recent and very much doesn’t follow the Bethesda model! It’s also turn-based which was a big plus for me as well.

Seems the App Store link isn’t working for me (in Spain). Would love to give it a try!

I think it’s reasonable not everyone feels the same way about this. I’d prefer for my body not to be washed nor placed in a coffin.

Counterproductive, and makes Garry Tan look like a real asshole. Now people will have sympathy for the Supervisors whereas a thoughtful criticism could have put real problems with their leadership on display.

What if it does this while also _not_ killing/harming in many other situations where a human would have?

You’re paying them to rank and collect information from things on the web for you. People can’t subscribe to everything and it’s nice as a user of a search engine to know if it’s a requirement.

No, to clarify the salary is being paid but the stock liquidity program ended. However, single trigger RSUs mean tax may still be owed on those RSUs at the market value when they were issued.

So some people owe tax on eg $100k in extra “income” for shares they can’t sell anymore.

In addition to not getting paid, the employees are left with a tax burden for the RSUs they are now unable to sell since the cancellation happened abruptly in the window between vesting and the liquidity event.

Yes, but the IP itself is not personal without the connection to other information. I do think considering IP address personal is a bit of a reach, especially given the common case of ephemeral addresses.

Thanks for sharing this story. I love when I can learn a little more about the experience of something fascinating like Caving but that I don’t have any personal experience with through someone’s comments on HN.

How does one get into Caving or become a “vetted cave explorer”?
