I know this isn't in the best taste, but a ring made from this material would definitely give mystical vibes.

I pre-ordered the rewind, and noticed that I'll be upgraded for free! But my question is for the subscription, will there be any discounts for the pro plan?
Also, I do notice that the free version has 10 free hours a month of AI features.
How easy would it be for me to export the recordings, and use it with say Google Gemini Pro for transcribing?

Definitely an english major
Rubs me the wrong way that incumbents should be pretty much be forced to sell their land just cause rich people want to use it.
Stock buybacks should be outlawed. They're really a waste for the economy; cash is being used up to buy up imaginary assets to make your previously-owned imaginary assets more valuable.
Why not use that money on more impactful things? Like higher salaries, social programs, or just R&D in general.

> They want all the benefits of renting out their place (in most cases, it goes against the original intent of renting a spare room, or family home), but want to make the experience less than ideal for customers.
In the first part of that sentence you characterize the transaction as akin to renting out a spare room, but in the second part you characterize the guests as "customers." Historically, if you rented a room from someone, you were subject to all sorts of rules, invasions of privacy, etc. In many circumstances, that's still the case (e.g. with live-in nannies).
What's actually happening is that guests treat AirBnBs like hotel rooms, and hosts are doing the same thing. It's just a commercial, arm's-length transaction.
Exactly, in the former situation you obviously don't have a full expectation of privacy. But when you're paying a premium for an entire property, onerous rules and spying are uncalled for.

In a lot of countries many of the hosts are violating zoning laws and evading tax to.
A lot of people are getting very tired of being subjected to weekend after weekend of stags and hen parties because the neighboring apartment was turned into a hotel room.
Not to mention the extra pressure it's put on property and rents.
I agree. AirBNB was a mistake. It used to be that an apartment could be rented out for a decent amount above your mortgage, and expenses. But now there's no incentive to opt for long-term rentals, when a short-term one is more profitable.
Then the rich get richer and consolidate more properties under their companies, leaving the rest to fend for themselves. Think of people who had been making sacrifices so they could save up to purchase something, just to be outbid by collective groups of people just purchasing property to rent them out. There's no competing.
Seems like they're "passive" energy chips are only gonna be targeted $$$ towards big organizations, which make use of the Josephon effect. But if they're targeting transistor technology for the masses, how will they have an advantage against the incumbents

Typical BS reasoning. The hidden cameras are already against policy. Do they really think expanding the policy to all indoor cameras is going to stop those actions? If anything, people looking to protect their property will now have more incentive to place hidden cameras if there are no options for allowable ones.
It feels to me that AirBNB hosts are an entitled group of people. They want all the benefits of renting out their place (in most cases, it goes against the original intent of renting a spare room, or family home), but want to make the experience less than ideal for customers. There's a multitude of rules, chores, invasions of privacy (Cameras, decibel monitors, et al).
These are supposed to be vacations, not a walking-on-eggshells experience because the host is constantly spying on you. If there's damage, submit a claim against the person.
