I've never heard of identity theft. If anyone wants to claim this I'd want evidence, not hand waving.

But -

Like Ashley Madison? Medical records? Tax records. These have all had real life consequences for people. North Korean defectors had their details stolen the other day.

Like a email address to a site you comment on, so now it publically ties your comments to the real you?

Go on?

If your question is around identity theft which I think it really is, then I'd need to see proof, else the fear the NPCs have is actually what does the damage. (Also never heard of a domestic incident from a mass breach of addresses, I'd need proof to believe it, but it is enough to legitimately have to move house, so consequences)

(Passwords / unsalted/salted password hashes is of course the real killer, this has screwed a lot of people, but you've excluded this.)
> "If anything, our policy should do the opposite of what the GSEs promote: if you have a low income, and you try to borrow money to buy a house near where you work, there should be a surtax to discourage this bad diversification. There are other savings vehicles that don’t closely correlate with your income; buy those instead!"

I think this is my favorite line. Let's tax the poor more for living close to where they work.
I'm aware of both of these things.

In either case the purpose and thus optimization of each kind of tool is fairly different, even if abstractly they're both "state space exploration", which made the comparison seem odd to me.
One of the interesting things about the Canadian mortgage market is that there is no such thing as a 20, 25 or 30 year fixed mortgage. The longest term ever offered is 5 years. Amortization periods can be 10, 15, 20 or 25 years, but you need to renegotiate at maximum every 5 years.

In general the interest rates are highest for fixed 5-year mortgages, 1 and 2 years are lowest.

There is absolutely no practical way in Canada to lock in a mortgage for long term fixed interest rates beyond 5 years. This has previously had interesting effects, such as in the early 1980s when people who owned their homes, had existing mortgages come up for renewal and encountered the new 18% interest rates. Either resulting in serious financial hardship or fire-sale quick sales because they could no longer afford to service the mortgage.

Some people are currently getting mortgages which are fully ARM and hoping things maintain the status quo.

The CMHC, federal agency which sells mandatory mortgage insurance for high-ratio loans, recently implemented a new stress test.

Not to say that Canada wasn't significantly affected by the 2008-2009 financial crisis. But much stronger and stricter banking regulations meant that the domestic big-5 banks' exposure to low-quality American mortgage products was lower. And there were much fewer no-doc/no-income/poor-quality mortgages created for Canadian properties. There was definitely no domestic equivalent to Countrywide or Washington Mutual's massive tranches of shit mortgages and mortgage backed securities.
Uncontrolled type-2 diabetes is no joke. I had a Danish neighbor growing up who worked for Spectra-Physics and had an RX-7 (Wankel) back in the day. After he retired, he got diabetes but didn't take insulin with uncontrolled blood sugar over 400-700 mg/dL. He lost his vision, feet and went from mildly unhealthy to dead under in two years. He was never obese that I recall.

If someone were broke as in the story, but determined to get life-survival medication no matter what in the US: get rid of all of their property and assets except one vehicle and one house, and get Medicaid. If someone became disabled from a non-work-related condition, there is Medicare SSDI... and they may also qualify for Medicaid. The reason to get rid of property are two-fold: there are maximum qualification limits and bankruptcy would take it. A bankruptcy lawyer costs $2000-4000 FYI.
Hi! Interesting idea. I entered "python", and an address in Austin, TX, and it showed me 3 employers hiring (there are more than that). One of the 3, Bigcommerce, did not appear to have any python-related jobs posted (or if it did I didn't find it using your site). This is all offered in the spirit of constructive feedback. Good luck!

I just bought a house and compared, for the same loan amount, the difference between a higher monthly payment (for a 15 year loan) versus a lower monthly payment (for a 30 year loan) and investing the difference between the 15 and 30 year payment at 8% annual return, and the 30 year approach came out way ahead because of the additional compounding investment return from those first 15 years. if the apr is significantly lower (4.75% vs 8%) than the expected annual investment return, it's kind of a no brainer, isn't it?
> Perfect is the enemy of the good.

This saying is not suitable here because unsustainable technology isn't good. It's simply not worth the cost and we are borrowing from the future.

If the venture would be unprofitable up until the point when it would be sustainable would we still push money into it?

I say we should treat any venture that is unsustainable the same way we treat those that are unprofitable. But we don't. We allow unsustainable ventures to carry on without ever becoming sustainable. Which means that it is constantly borrowing (stealing) means from everyone else.
I read some of it, he implies blame against 30 year mortgages for the 2008 financial crisis. When the reality is blame lies with exotic and adjustable rate mortgages, collateralization, corruption of the rating and underwriting industries, and political failure[1]

And you are correct, the vast number of 30 year mortgages don't last ten years much less 30. The author also skips over that 5 year mortgages that existed previously were interest only and could be called in at any time. Worse the lender could require payment in gold or cash, whichever was higher. You want toxic, that's toxic.

Maybe a compromise would be that if you rewrite old code you individually go through old tests and have to sign off on deprecating them, and say edge case X is no longer important, so you keep most tests while not using ones that don't matter.
This article strikes me as a classic example of a smart person outthinking themselves on something pretty basic. Sure, it makes for an interesting analysis. But the measured reality is that home ownership is strongly correlated with wealth, and the only way for someone who is not already wealthy to own a home is to borrow a lot of money to buy one. And the only way to get the monthly payments down is to extend the payback term. Hence: the 30 year mortgage.

The expected annual investment return is not 8%.
My best guess would be the long term returns of the S&P 500 is 7-8%. If you look at the returns relative to inception date 1993 SPY is like 9%.

I'm with you. I have a 30-year 3.75% mortgage and I've been throwing the rest of my money into investments. With the tax benefits (up until this year, at least, not sure where we will end up after the recent legislative changes) our effective rate is definitely less than 3.75%, and a lot lower than the long term returns I've been getting in equities.

Adjusted for inflation, long term is more like 7%. There have been some really ugly periods where returns were a lot less, however, sometimes lasting more than a decade. For a 30 year timeline, though, it's been a pretty good bet.

Home ownership was a way to stabilize finances, by providing a way to create a known cost for the average person over the long term.

Banks made stable money through interest, and to offset the risks of foreclosure the banks quantified the risk based on income, etc.

It worked very, very well. As an added benefit to the average person: The interest paid on the mortgage is tax deductible, and the 30 year mortgage offers the biggest benefit.

The issue with YAML is that the abstraction ceiling is way too low for its use cases. How do you maintain a 500 line YAML file? You have no tools to simplify it apart from super basic replacements

Meanwhile if I give you a 500 line python function you have a lot of tools at your disposal to refactor to improve maintainability (you could actually write basic tests for your CI pipeline config instead of having failures when the config gets pushed out)

Why would it be? There is almost no risk to ignoring security issues, and the risk only decreases the more this happens to other companies because consumers start seeing it as normal behavior that affects all companies they do business with.

I'm almost certain Marriott has security people telling the higher-ups that they need to do X to protect security, but if other companies are not subjected to that same risk, revenue growth is always going to win over security.

This will never change until governments start holding these companies liable with severe penalties that are not simply "the cost of doing business."
Ugh! Absolutely. The 30 year mortgage as a product was born out of the Great Depression. Back then, home ownership was the main path to wealth, but there was no liquidity in the housing market and bullet loans were reamortized every 5 years, which worked, until capital markets froze and there were no loans available. At that point, people foreclosed because there were no mortgage choices at their term end.

The 30 year mortgage was a direct response to that. A 30 year mortgage guarantees that you can get a loan at an affordable rate and not have to be exposed to market liquidity for mortgage re-issuance. In that sense, the 30 year fixed has allowed normal people to build wealth that they otherwise wouldn't have been able to!
Mortgages are fairly new though. In America they started in the 1930s and were short term. Unsure when they became longer term committments, but probably not before the 50s or 60s.

I suspect mortgages inflated home values, and that homes would be easier to afford without them. But home ownership rates would also be lower.
That sounds dumb. Any citation on why it's so?

Not really. There doesn't need to be a "cap". You can tax every single ton of net carbon.

Traditional cap-and-trade has a very valid criticism that it doesn't fix the problem, only limits it slightly and moves it around. If you add carbon-removers into the equation, and set things up to have 0 or even negative carbon per year, and then you actually do fix the problem.

The relative risk of driving while having ADD/ADHD (accidents/km with / accidents/km without) is around 1.54 [1]. This isn't horrible, of course, but it's still bad.

Non-disqualifying visual impairments have a relative risk down around 1.2, implying a surprisingly low cutoff for a visual impairment being disqualifying. "Severe behavioral problems due to ageing (dementia)" have a RR 1.45. A category covering epilepsy, narcolepsy, and other conditions causing sudden interruptions/disturbances in consciousness is at 1.84, and those conditions require medical sign-off in every country I checked. Diagnosed alcoholism amortizes to around 2, and that'll get you a breathalyzer or suspended license right quick.

The cutoff for being ticketed is is observed to lie around a relative risk of 4, which is where cell phones come in. The cutoff for being arrested on the spot, being legally drunk, is a relative risk well above 10 and probably up around 40.

Interestingly, almost nothing is as bad as being a teenage male, which carries a relative risk around 7. Teenage females are around 5.5.

That all said... while we can certainly complain about rampant misdiagnosis - I wish I had a dollar for every time someone told me that I'm just addicted to stimulants - my opinion is that this particular rationale for disqualification is absolutely justified. There's a reason I don't drive.
