Isn't this a false parable? I thought houses themselves are not expensive, but the land on which they are built, is.

This is also the downside of renting -- the other tenants can be lousy. Banks know this and will not lend in buildings without a minimum rate of owner occupied units.

I'd guess that one of the reasons home prices in 'nice' neighborhoods are so high (or HOAs charge high dues) is a sort of signaling, similar to nuptial gifts in animals, that you have your act together and are invested in being a good neighbor.

There are already places that rent tools. And some of us buy power tools because we want to have it easily available for use. A well cared for, high quality tool will last a lifetime, so just because I might not use it every day doesn’t mean that I am not going to enjoy years of use. As far as tools that are actually rarely used (a trench digger for example,) that what rental shops are for. Why should government get into the rental business? There are already those types of businesses in place and they’re great: people that care about renting power tools can pay to rent power tools without requiring literally the entirety of society to support their ability to rent power tools.

As far as clothes — there are already resale shops that are really efficient at this.

If you want to further improve sustainability, then provide tax cuts for those types of businesses to provide them incentives to keep operating and to be able to provide lower prices.

The point is that everything you describe already exists in the private sector.

These are not hand-written pages, and their output is actually pretty clean compared to the crazy things I've tried to scrape. They have tons of APIs to access the backing data, and that should be your first stop.

Even if you insist on scraping, in your case you're just looking for a <td> whose immediately preceding <td> contains the text "Latest Release", and that's something any XPath-based scraper can give you straight out of the box[1].

A more resilient choice, if you still insist on (or have to use) scraping, is use the underlying template data - a regex is good enough in that case[2]

Your comment resonates a lot with me.
The bottom-up approach is my favorite, but I think most people are more top-down. When a project has unit tests, its architecture is more pleasant for me. There is also less coupling between classes, this makes the code more reusable. TDD has clearly an influence on the style of the code. I think it forces the code to be better with better API.

I really, really, really don't understand what it is that you're saying here. Slow compile times make better programmers? And you base that on one anecdote? And somehow your example coworker would transform into a sensible programmer if you add a Sleep(30000) in the compiler? According to you, it is better if the compiler always makes everyone wait for long periods of time than letting the programmer decide when to pause and think? What??? Are you serious?

When I build C++ stuff at home I go to great lengths to shave milliseconds off my compile time, because it is just so much better to have your program built in under 2 s than in 2 minutes.
The S40 (Model S 40 KWh) was discontinued very quickly, probably no more than a couple thousand ever sold. The only other time Tesla has sold software limited batteries was when they were selling the 60 kWh models with 75 kWh software limited batteries. This only lasted for a few months between the time they started using 75 kWh batteries and when they discontinued the 60 kWh model, maybe another ~20k.

Tesla has sold around 300k Model S and Model X vehicles, so the vast majority are not software limited.

What's crazy to me is that it can be plainly obvious people WANT this from the fact that the few neighborhoods that exist where you can walk are fabulously expensive. A 2 bed craftsman bungalow in South Park, a walkable area of generally walking-hostile San Diego, can sell for $900 grand. So why aren't we building more of those? Do developers hate money?

Answer - because it's illegal to build them. Because of the aforementioned suburbanites voting that way. Because they should get free (or dirt cheap) sleeping places for their car even if someone comes along and wants to pay half a million bucks for the very same land to build a place to sleep for their family. It's lunacy.

I have no doubt that the rate at which bad things come out has increased. My question is about the net total - it seems to me that overall everything has pretty much stayed the same.

Questions to myself: Am I right? Due to higher order effects, or due to unrelated orthogonal influences, or both? Examples for concrete questions: Did work conditions improve? Did product longevity improve? Did customer service improve? Do people live better, longer, happier? Is politics more honest? Do we trust politicians, companies (or insert any profession or entity you like) more? Is there more fairness? Freedom (example: "free range kids")? When you complain (and you are right about it), what are the chances that anything changes - and actually for the better, not just a workaround/quick fix without actual long-term net total improvement? Quite a bit room for subjectivity of course.

What does the neuron say
Unit Testing with PySpark
I know the situation in the US and here in Germany, and if I had dark skin I'm really not sure which poison I'd choose.

In Germany a Westernized dark-skinned person will feel quite comfortable, but when it comes to things like competing for promotions, investments, capital, heck even flats, and etc. - they will tend to lose out a little too often. People in positions of power, while friendly, have a strong and unexamined tendency to gravitate towards their comfort zone. They're looking for a good gut feeling, for trustworthiness, for what seems like a good match - and, shocker, those feelings are most often produced by upper middle class to rich native-born German men. It's pervasive, and I don't see much talk here about the need to overcome discomfort and implicit bias, at least not among the elites. In fact, any suggestion that they should step outside of their comfort zone produces resentment, more often than not.

So, in Germany, you don't need to worry about the police, or about random aggression all that much. But you'll face a glass ceiling. And while everyday existence for the same person in America may be menacing and emotionally oppressive, America is also the country where 2 of the major tech companies have Indian CEOs, and no one blinks an eye. Germany is still very far from that, unfortunately.

For me, I almost always bounce if I don't immediately see pricing information as it is an important signal with respect to whether or not this is something that's targeted towards me and/or whether or not they think I'll get sticker shock if they show it to me right away. In either case, the lack of readily available pricing makes me negatively inclined to spend more time looking into a product where I don't know if I'd ever consider paying whatever price they don't want to tell me.

It doesn't need to be a lot of detail, or precise. Even just a "from $..." or "plans starting at ..." would be enough.

There's other intangible benefits too. Buying a house is enforced saving. When people have money spare they typically spend it. If as the author suggests people instead invest in the stock market there is constant temptation not to put the money in there in the first place or take the money out because you want to buy something shiny.

You can use owning a home as a way of bringing stability. So instead of making plans for a year at a time you can make 5 year plans based on living where you are.

However there's a quote from 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' [0] that your primary residence is a liability. So where as it makes sense to buy there's no point in buying a massive expensive house because it doesn't bring in any income. Buy one that fits your needs with possibly some minimum room for expansion.

That's one of the further benefits of having bought - if you find the perfect area but your family expands you can modify the house that you're in and stay in exactly the same place.

> I don't understand their language(s)

I remember reading an article a few years ago explaining how one's brain tends to react somewhat negatively when hearing somebody speaking a language they don't understand. It's actually "normal" (as in "good luck fighting thousands of years of evolution") to feel unease when around people speaking a language you don't understand.

Funnily, the paper was also mentioning that the same thing happens when hearing somebody talk over the phone. The fact that you can only hear 1/2 of the conversation somehow triggers some defense mechanism in your brain.
>Police just assume that if you're out at night you are a criminal.

No they don't. What they are doing is noticing things that are out of the ordinary. You do the same thing. If everyone is wearing a suit, and one person is wearing shorts, watch all the heads turn. A black man walking through an all white neighborhood late at night will draw attention from any person in that neighborhood. The same is true if a white man was walking through an all black neighborhood. No different. The police would stop him, too.

I was going to work one morning and, as I got into my car, I noticed my wife's tomato plants had some red ones. Leaving my car door open, I walked to the garden to examine them to see if they could be picked. When I turned around, a policeman pulled up in a squad car. He recognized me but said he stopped because he saw a car with its door open making him wonder if it was a break-in. He then saw this poorly dressed guy wandering around the yard. Both out of the ordinary.

When he saw me, he laughed, and drove away.

I own a restaurant. One night, I got a call from the police that they noticed our back door was slightly open. That's different for two o'clock in the morning. They walked in and notice our cash drawer was missing. Patrol cars were dispatched through the neighborhood, a shopping district where there were lots of people walking around, when they found a guy walking with a metal box under his arm at two in the morning. How unusual.

In the housing market there is a useless but with big influence 3rd party that became so ordinary that nobody questions it anymore.

In eastern europe after comunist regimes fall houses were
very cheap and nobody needed a loan to buy one, they could collect the money in just a few years, this has changed after eu banking entered the markets and loaning become something ordinary to buy a house just like in the west this lead to an average of 10x increase in prices.

If banks will be allowed only to loan money to businesses then the supply and demand alone will adjust the housing market to real buying power, this will also lead to more money being pumped into economy instead of keeping artifical economic bubbles.

Walls became the new gold for "investment" banks to keep their money, this mechanism is enforced through artifical goverment scarcity and bank loaning.

That is true, but that is covered in the very last sentence. Renting is significantly less volatile, assuming the contract is reasonable for both sides. Buying a house is a risk/reward analysis of the value compared to the price difference, positive or negative, to renting.

That is not to say this is the only thing to consider. Often people know where they want to live and what size of property/house they need, and for many people that is only achievable by buying.
> The police never viewed me through the lens of suspicion, they never talked to me in an accusatory tone. I felt more like they were checking that I was OK, rather than checking that I was a criminal.

As a European I wonder if this is "because Freedom", that the state-sceptical tradition laid out by the US constitution has created an expectation that police should never interact with anybody who isn't a criminal. That way, the attempt of making the police nicer has made them less nice, by removing nuance (unless you happen to never fall into the area of uncertainty, where nuance will be missed). Any thoughts on this by Americans?
