Stupid of the host to act like that and inexcusable, got what she deserved etc, but....

This is one sided reporting. First of all Barker accepted the booking knowing who the guest would be, from her name, profile etc.

Then there were frequent polite comms where the booking was changed, renegotiated. Two extra guests were added. Then the guest asked to bring a small dog, and the host said no because they have a pitbull in the house. Guest persisted and eventually the hosts agreed to remove their own dog from the house to accommodate the dog.

Messages on the day of arrival have been withheld by the guest, but relationship broke down and became hostile, with the guest delaying arrival until 2AM-3AM. The host lost patience.

So I think the reason they cancelled is because the guest really did mess them about, but still really stupid to use those words in doing so. Tami Barker had the opportunity to refuse the booking long before, and didn't, then went out of her way to accommodate the guests. Of course, nobody is interested in that.

Airbnb's investors are happy :)

Interesting story, but who will put most popular item at the front of the store? It will be in the back of the store so customers will pass the other items in store and buy something compulsively

So as soon as you turned 51, they just got rid of you.

1,160 qualified people? How do the Labor Department define qualified? Did Palantir interview all of them? reply

Hi, I'm John Doe

I saw your ad for Backend Software Developer at LaterPay and was very interested, because I believe paying for digital content should be fast, convenient, and fair. I think people should be able to buy the exact piece of content they want.

As a Software Developer who lives in Slack and keeps code in GitHub, I really enjoy running stuff in AWS.

and so on and so forth :) It all sounds like BS for me

The most important skill in software development is too have your site ready for Reddit effect.

So true.
