xeornet··on The $10m OMG Fund
The experience is great, and I will continue using them. Not saying there is anything wrong with AirBnb, but they seem to be steering away from the "rent a room in my house" target audience.
xeornet··on The $10m OMG Fund
Yeah Booking.com is a good go-to also. Compare prices. As for destinations, I have noticed they have all been getting more experience, both due to the weather but also post-lockdowns, everyone is out and about.

Central/Eastern Europe is my personal favourite. Krakow, Poland (amazing). Belgrade, Zagreb, Kotor Montenegro.

xeornet··on The $10m OMG Fund
It has become obvious that AirBNB is now targeting the upper-end market in terms of pricing. Their homepage constantly shows ridiculously expensive properties that I have no interest in staying at. (I've been traveling around Europe for 5 months so far purely staying at AirBNBs).

None of this "OMG Fund" money will be going to improving the core experience the main cohort of users; it is however broadening their marketing to higher-end properties and higher-paying visitors.

xeornet··on My 40-liter backpack travel guide
I'm 4 months into a 46L bag trip and can see a lot of things I can cut down on. Head home in 2 months to reset and head off again!
xeornet··on Hetzner.com is down (502 error)
Looks like it was down for about an hour or so, central EU. I've herd good things though, so I think I'll give them a try.

And at what point does "problems that they were unfairly born with" stop?

xeornet··on Report: 90% of nurses considering leaving the profession in the next year
Many people in many professions have the same considerations about leaving. But then they realise they have a mortgage to pay, responsibilities (debts) they have signed up for, and never leave. Such is the system.
xeornet··on I hate what video games have become
Not sure a source is required when he's simply providing an opinion, albeit assertively.
xeornet··on Cuba′s Covid vaccine rivals Pfizer, Moderna
Do the internal issues have anything to do with USA completely blocking their ability to improve and import? "Do you have family in the island without access to US dollars?" - My point exactly, this is an issue the US has exacerbated, as a form of propaganda AGAINST Cuba.

I am, and have family, from a very similar South American country.

xeornet··on Cuba′s Covid vaccine rivals Pfizer, Moderna
Your ignorance is unsettling.

I ask you 2 questions: - Have you ever been to Cuba? - Have you ever read a scientific publication of vaccine efficacy? Let alone a medical paper of any form?

Ungodly amounts of mis-education in this comment.
xeornet··on Ask HN: Successful one-person online businesses?
Lead generation for local business? Or sales orgs?
xeornet··on “We have no reason to believe 5G is safe”
The serious issue here is the inability to opt-out. There is clear doubt about it's safety. Do those with doubts get to opt-out? Definitely not.
xeornet··on “We have no reason to believe 5G is safe”
All arguments about the safety of 5G seem to speak about how the waves interact with human cells in isolation.

What about the combined energy and interference with the myriad of other waves our bodies are subjected to?
