As far back as 2000, my partner was asked for her zip code as we made a purchase and I curtly replied "no comment," to the surprise of everyone there. She walked for her phone number, which really irritated me because this was a $5 retail purchase of some type), and I got more curt when I said, "You don't need that!"

I've been annoyed by this stuff long before most people were ready to consider privacy concerns anything more than paranoia.

It's a rough estimate, but it is not always lower. A place near me was listed for $625k below the Zestimate, and is selling for 725k below the Zestimate (which was $2.4M). A below market rate sale in your area, such as a foreclosure auction, can drive automated price estimates down. A transfer of ownership to a trust, which can be at an old sale price or even zero dollar, is tough to discern in the metadata of some localities and will drive the $/sqft down.

Given the many wild overestimates, I don't suspect that they are trying to have their model dampen price estimates to drive referrals. However, the price estimates at Redfin seem much more accurate, so their model could use some work.

My parents pay $1,200/year for electricity, in a fairly large house. Given the expected lifetime of a power wall, that will eat all the 'savings' of living off the grid.

There's also the matter that if, say, 40% of the population disconnects itself from the grid, that doesn't mean that the cost of maintaining that infrastructure will drop by 60%. Someone will have to pay for it.
This seems like a nice and decent product. I hope it takes off. Good luck!
ELF: better symbol lookup via DT_GNU_HASH
I used to work for Z, and I can confirm that the Zestimate is just that: an estimate. It doesn't know things like whether you did renovations or whether the house next door caught on fire and burned down and things like that. If something about your particular house changed in the last few years, the Zestimate is likely to be way off. That said, it's fairly good as far as comps go, and if you have an average house in the hood, the Zestimate is gonna be pretty close.

Regarding the rule of thumb you mentioned, my wife and I have been looking for a house in the Bay Area, and we've determined that the listing price is just a completely made up number. We made an offer on a house that was 100K over asking price, and the sellers countered with 40K on top of that (so 140K over asking). I was like... what? You listed for X, we offered X+100K, you don't get to counter that. lol

We obviously didn't get the house, and they wound up selling for 175K over asking price (+~25%). We've made several other offers, and sometimes the house goes for 50K over asking and sometimes it goes for 250K over asking. It just seems to be totally random. It's absurd. Instead, we actually rely a lot on the Zestimate and Redfin's estimate to figure out what the "real" value of the house is. Z and R tend to be roughly in the right ballpark for the Bay Area.
Oh dear it thinks I'm a 35 year old woman...
My father had memorized a fake Social Security Number that had come as a sample card in a wallet he got in the 1950s. When anybody except the government asked for his SSN and who wouldn't relent on his pushback, he would give them that number.
One of the challenges for us in implementing something like LISTEN/NOTIFY comes from our distributed nature: since a table is likely broken up across many nodes, you somehow need to aggregate changes from all of them back into a single change feed wherever the listener is, and in such a way that it doesn't create a single point of failure.
Well there's a bunch of factors. Energy distribution is not free or perfectly efficient. You are also doubling the footprint of the house+solar and land (nor it's ecological impact) are free.

Additional solar power absorbs sunlight and produces electricity. One benefit is that the house under it is cooler and needs less air conditioning as a result.

Also balancing the energy infrastructure for a state/country with significant solar/wind sources adds significant new complexity for the power grid. It's definitely most efficient to keep your homes power use off the grid as much as possible.

Additionally at least in California peak power use is air conditioning related and follows a power use curve pretty similar to solar production. So the hottest days/times have the most power generation (there's some lag). This allows the state to minimize power production only for those worst case days in late summer, which is the most expensive (power, cost, and environmental impact) power plant.

Power plants can be quite efficient if utilized 100%, but the difference between minimum power and maximum power needs can create huge inefficiencies where solar can help.

I'd also argue that adding distributed power use makes the grid overall much more robust. Earthquakes, major storms, attacks against infrastructure, etc are all less of an issue if a decent fraction of houses produce most of the power you need.
There is a great book by a marine biologist that goes into detail about these topics. It's called The Ocean of Life - The Fate of Man and the Sea by Callum Roberts. It was recommended to me here on HN several years ago, and I think that recommendation bears repeating. He goes into great detail about conservation topics for half the book, and the other half has to do with climate change and its effects on the oceans (and how that affects humanity).

I can't see anything changing until the OSS frameworks have similar support. For that matter, MS should take the lead for something that could provide across the board performance improvements on their ecosystem. They don't seem to care about tooling to improve their own platforms.

I've known people who took the "interfaces are good" to the cargo-cult where they would have a POCO and make an interface for it with getters and setters. No functionality and basically only one possible implementation because it's assumed to be backed by a POCO everywhere. But they "coded to the interface" so it's all good.

I'm super interested in hearing what you think are the advantages to that approach.

The cons I see are there are now two places where documentation needs to be kept in sync.

And reduced readability because of abstraction. For instances if I'm going through the mail chimp code base it's easier to understand how a mailcampaign interacts with the surrounding code base than something like iclickable. If I see a mailcampaign in code I instantly know what domain object it's represents, and have some idea a out what logic to expect in it. Iclickable I have no idea.

Im anxiously awaiting a thoughtful discussion of interfaces.

Anyone who is used to coding in a Lisp with closures will be handicapped by a lambda that is just code without an environment.

It only makes next to no difference if you're writing Fortran in Lisp: just block scoped functions with parameters and locals, but no expectation of function indirection that carries environments.

You know, even Wirth's Pascal lets you at least pass a functional argument downward, with its lexical environment ("downward funarg")!

Lambdas with no environment can sort of fake downward funarg, if nothing is dynamically shadowed on the way down. I.e. (some-function (lambda () x)) If nothing in the activation chain inside some-function binds x between here and the point where the lambda is called, then we're good: the x dynamically resolves to our x. If something binds x, we have a bug. Or worse; we don't have a bug: it's set up that way on purpose.

First, I would consider the benefits of building it anyway https://medium.com/you-could/build-it-anyway-6c43486e8a74

When I built my project for behavioral and cognitive changes (http://willyoudidyou.com) MVP for me was something that i could use, would want to use, and that would actually do something useful for me. Specifically, I needed to see a change in my behavior. I needed to brush my teeth before bed, do laundry with regularity, and eat healthier. I just needed someone (or something) to help put those things on my radar when they needed to be.

I reached MVP when there was nothing else that I needed to add, feature wise. Sure, there are things I WANT to add, but building out the core was important for me.

Before I slung most of the code... I had done some prototyping. Html/CSS files that I chopped together and tinkered with. It went on to influence the actual buildout, but was more of help with my own brainstorming.
In C#, it's just about the only way to unit test aside from making abstract/virtual or using something like TypeMock (paid).

The author suggests using virtual, but if your intent is not to allow child classes to override the implementation, this is certainly not "pure".

Visual Studio & ReSharper makes the code generation (Refactor > Extract Interface) and maintenance upkeep trivial anyway.

Most grid power is not solar. So running local solar can save you money, cool off your house (cool attic in the shade of the solar), and decrease your peak load on the power grid which makes the grid more efficient.

Even in rural areas while cheaper to mount on the ground, you lose the savings of a cooler house.

When people mention RPC in this context, are they talking about a generic concept, or are they referring specifically to SOAP? Because SOAP was always a complex mess, pretending that WSDL files somehow added semantic meaning to data, when it fact it was just a serialization format with excessively verbose data typing and validation of element presence/counts. SOAP made even the smallest projects feel like a bloated nightmare typical of "Enterprise bureaucracy". SOAP is the very reason why people eagerly latched onto JSON and REST the moment it became viable.
