Re: The hidden danger to Airbnb renters will cost you big time

taelor — Fri, 28 Oct 2016 23:01:00 -0000

I've rented on airbnb multiple times. I've hosted on airbnb multiple times. I, nor any of my guests, have scratched each other's floor. I've never seen this happen in my 30+ transactions on airbnb.

I mean, its a floor, so its obviously made to use it as such, there's no need for a "commercial grade" floor. Its someone's house, just like your house, and do you treat your own floor that bad that you would scratch it like that?

I'm honestly glad you don't use airbnb anymore, I wouldn't want you as a guest anyway.

For the record, Bassnectar has played there 3 years in a row. The original contract was for 3 years, and then he's an restricted free agent. There were rumors of him going to Philly, but I think Nashville has resigned him for a 1 year extension.

We should probably move that into a open repository. It's not the first time I've seen someone ask us how we do it.

Nice write up.

I'd just like to give you props for handling this in the most professional manner you could possibly handle it.

Cheers to you! I wish more people thought the way you do.

I love to program in Ruby, but then I worked for a C# company. I learned the C# language and since I had written code in Ruby, I could create C# classes and methods more expressive like Ruby.

One thing I have really enjoyed over the past few days are all the posts about the Emerging Languages Camp over as OSCON. I was at RailsConf this year and was fortunate to hear Bob Martin's keynote about how we need to learn new ways to program. The only way we can figure out how to do this, is to learn as many programming languages as possible, and blend the best parts together.

or maybe they are dropping the the prefix so that it will start using spdy:// without people knowing.

yes it is a little harder (not confusing really), but it gives you a finer grain of control than STI would, IMHO.

David,

In the User situation like that, I usually go with a role based approach. Have one class with the user data, and let helpers combined with the role determine what logic to use.
