It's always some rich fellow from these towns or some crunchy dude from the coastal towns who has this opinion.

Dude, there are a plethora of non-descript towns in America. My friend got married in one. They don't have cell reception. They talk on walkie talkies.

If you take the California money for your house, you can just retire there by buying and building enough homes for you and your friends.

This is always some imaginary pipe dream from the coastal elites. Life in the middle isn't idyllic. You guys always put up some imaginary plinth and then build this massive statue representing The Country Life So Beautiful and put a plaque on it and worship it like it was handed down by Moses.

But seriously. Life suuuuuucks there. These people will make it better.

Good idea, but 5Ghz doesn't work for many building materials. I had to go back to 2.4 to get reception further than 1 meter from the AP.
Yes. That's called sheeting, and it's a type of thin plywood that's used over the (solid wood) framing of the house to support the housewrap (which functions as a vapor barrier) and whatever type of exterior siding goes on it.

Between the framing studs would be insulation, and on the inside of that goes drywall.
The article lays out that Germany - a market where property isn't speculated on - has stable houseprices. This is in contrast to English-speaking countries where speculation has caused houseprices to grow beyond the reach of most millenials.

It doesn't strike me that speculation has led to stable prices here.
> Also, tie wearers, take the time to learn a Full Windsor

I mean, if you are into attempts to simulate the look of a four-in-hand knot used on a wider piece of material as popularized by a particular celebrity Nazi sympathizer, sure.

Unless you are particularly tall, in which case finding ties long enough to wear with a full windsor is enough trouble that you might as well find something wide enough to achieve the effect the authentic way with a four-in-hand.
There are pros and cons to growing up in a smaller metro. While having access to top tier culture and internships are great, there’s also a grueling competition to stand out.

In SV, the pressure on kids and parents seems extreme even at the median. While there are less opportunities and resources overall in a small metro, it’s all available to an ambitious child.

In the end, at least some small town kids are out-sprinting the “competitive city” kids and taking their loot back home. Otherwise we wouldn’t have all these articles about it.

Speculation isn't the problem. Speculation is like a time machine for prices. Speculators use information to discover the true price of an asset and keep buying until the difference between the market price and the "true price" shrinks to 0. In other words, they are making the market more efficient for buyers and sellers. Buyers benefit when the asset would be overpriced because of volatility. Sellers benefit when the asset would be undervalued because of volatility.

It turns out that the price of housing will go up in the future because of various reasons (primarily migration), but that information is available today. So what does the price time machine do? It transports future prices in the present and oh boy are those prices unbelievably high. The speculators are essentially whistleblowers. They are saying that the emperor has no clothes and promptly get burned on the stake.

Let's assume the opposite, that speculation itself was the problem, and not an external factor that is only brought to light. It would imply that the market price is exceeding the "true price" of the underlying asset and therefore the speculator will have a hard time selling his asset, unless another speculator buys the asset in an infinite loop. However, it doesn't change the fundamental problem, because at some point someone has to take the "true price" - market price loss because they are massively overpaying and cannot find a greater fool.

If you thought the latter was the case then you could just decide against buying a house because it is overpriced. Of course the problem is that no long lasting crash has occurred, even 2008 wasn't bad enough to keep house prices on a downward trend.

I think ML, regardless of the industry application, will always be a victim of the garbage in-garbage out mechanism. Those that are trying to build neural networks to predict tomorrow's price based on the last 1 month are never going to get anywhere because the markets are just too nuanced for this.

I'm constantly looking at this from the view that I'm not looking to build an ML model that is going to give me a direct prediction of future prices, but instead to break this down into different components. If I feed a bunch of stats about a country, can an algo return a figure for the overall health of that economy, for example.
And then, most audio files on my player are actually podcasts.

Here's a funny thing, in the UK the main tax associated with owning a house is council tax, you pay it to the local council for the services they provide (although we can have an argument about where the money actually goes since it's all fungible anyway and the central government repeatedly butts in and restricts councils). As you suggest we could disincentivize second home ownership by levying a higher tax on it.

How does this manifest in real policy in the UK today - 2nd homes, and homes occupied by only one person more often than not receive lower taxes than normal.

Also, isochronous mode is great in theory, but in practice, at least in a desktop computer, the rest of the machine internals are not isochronous so you can still run into real-time delivery failures.

As far as I understand it, yes, the rules the big tech platforms have ARE just. In this case the customer (Parlor) didn't follow the rules (ToS) and was given notice as to what rules were broken and how they needed to fix things. They did not correct their actions and so they were removed. When they took corrective action, they were allowed back as customers. Seems pretty simple to me.

Now, the question of "even" enforcement is another matter, and I don't think I have enough knowledge or background to have an opinion on that.
> Azure's network team decided to unnecessarily use NAT for IPv6, making it exactly (100%!) as complex as IPv4...

People like the NAT. It's a feature, not a bug. If your selling point for IPv6 is "no more NAT" then no wonder it never went anywhere!

P.S. No, "you're doing it wrong" and "you're not allowed to like the NAT" are not valid responses to user needs.
I think it's important to remember that the people who "hated the contribution graph stats" were the people who specifically complained about hating them. Many multiples of that number of people comprise the set of people who were indifferent about them + people who liked them. (Probably a lot more in the first subgroup.)

It's selection set bias. You only heard from the complainers, making it seem like "everyone" disliked them. I think the contribution graphs are cool, and so are badges/achievements.

It would make so much more sense to just implement a progressive wealth tax combined with tax rules which make owning more than one home very expensive.

I would also be interested to see what would happen if the rental and sales markets were forced to only supply houses which matched the current building codes - it would make building much more competitive.
As long as it's called "autopilot" it's going to be a problem.
> getting to zero is going to be treated with much more importance than COVID with a ~2% (? maybe) fatality rate. People who think masks are a political tool to control us suddenly are less paranoid about that (and vaccines, and social distancing) when the bodies are bing piled up in the streets.

I agree with the first sentence, but not with the second. Yes, governments might eventually put more care onto reducing covid counts. But a) it might be too late. Just check how long it took for travel restrictions to be imposed.

And b) the panic that people will be in will be even bigger, especially those who think that masks and vaccines are a way to spread microchips and 5G. These folks aren't rational.

Last, there is a non zero chance you'll be dying in the next few years. At that point, do you really care about rules? The governments will impose even stricter lockdown measures. But this will cause even more unrest as people are confined to their homes.

Ebola is in the category of "deadly but not easy to spread". Yes, it can be spread but by the time you spread it you physically can't leave your bed. That's a great help in preventing spread. I'm talking about a disease that at the start has few symptoms, allowing for easy spread, then gets severe and deadly further down in disease progression.

Ah good stuff! Ok so this is heart rate variability. It’s a measure of the time in milliseconds between each heart beat interval and is a good indicator for measuring stress - mental or physical - on the body.

HRV is influenced by the autonomic nervous system which has two elements; parasympathetic and sympathetic.

Parasympathetic controls the “rest and digest” side of things and sympathetic controls “flight or fight”. If you are stressed then your sympathetic system is overly engaged and this manifests as a low HRV.

If I overtrain then I get a low HRV because the sympathetic system is overly engaged. Work stress and other things like poor diet will negatively impact HRV. On the other hand, rest, meditation and relaxation will cause it to increase as you engage the parasympathetic system.

A high HRV is indicative of readiness to deal with whatever is thrown at you and you can think of it as resilience which you can build (or lose) over time.

It’s a fairly personal measure and it’s generally not necessary to compare with other people as everyone is different and because many factors affect HRV but what you want to look for are trends in HRV. Upwards means you are recovering/de-stressing. Downwards trend is the opposite.

How do you measure it? Most wearables allow you to measure it. I have a garmin watch which can. Apple Watch also can do it. Most accurate approach would be to use a heart rate strap but that’s probably overkill.

Measure your HRV in the morning at the same time in the same position. After a week of readings you’ll get a baseline and can see how things change from there.

It really is a useful thing to track HRV because your body deals with a lot of daily stress and sometimes you are just not aware of it because it feels like normal or the signals are difficult to interpret.

Good luck!
> Why is cash withdrawals from circulation be important to CBDC?

>> For example, cash limits how negative rates can go. If cash were to become scarce and most money were held as M0, the central bank could enforce negative interest rates by clawing back M0.

This would only really be effective if CBDC became prevalent enough to actually make a dent in money supply. What proportion of money would have to be CBDC for this to actually have an impact, and would we get there by just pure issuance of CBDC or by taking cash out of circulation and replacing it with CBDC?

> Btw I don't think OP argued citizens wouldn't need an account.

>> CBDCs are a way to give the public M0 without putting the central bank into the retail banking business.

I don't know how you would avoid retail banking unless you were to issue it via a means other than an account.

It seems like you know this but just to be explicit; not a damn thing. MQTT rides over TCP, this is like suggesting TLS to fix ethernet broadcast storms.

+1 for Elixir’s documentation. José Valim knew what he was doing when he made docs so easy and pleasant to create and view.

I always love it when a programming language has their docs available off-line and easily accessible. I grew up on Perl without an internet connection (or a GUI for that matter) so I got very used to the perldoc command. That is now the standard I expect. Elixir is one of the few languages that exceeds this bar imo.

Yes. Trivial.

“ It has been estimated that between 1975 and 2000 a total of more than US$100bn has been invested in water supply and sanitation, and that a further US$130bn will be needed between 2002 and 2022, corresponding to US$6.5 billion per year or more than US$200 per capita and year.[2] This level of investment in water per capita is among the highest in the world, higher than in the US, the UK or Germany, due to the high cost of desalination and the need to transport water over long distances. It corresponds to about 1.5% of GDP.”

After reading about the dissonance theory by Sethares [1] used as the basis of TFA, I also did some related experiments of finding the most consonant 3-note chords in different scales (not limited to 12 tone equal temperament) [2].

The real takeaway from this is if you want to work on FOSS on your own time, without retribution from your manager, don't work at IBM.

As IBM is supposed to be a huge supporter of FOSS, this is a total disappointment.
You can run your code locally and still interact with real AWS services. For example, using Serverless Framework, you can do "sls invoke local", and your calls to DynamoDB etc. will work fine.

The problematic bit is the input event. You can't call real API Gtw. to trigger your Lambda code locally. You need to write/copy the request as JSON and provide it as input. It's more annoying with triggers like Kinesis Stream, but doable.

I personally don't like Localstack, it's safer to use real services.

> Choosing Summary Statistics

This is the #1 thing that people get wrong. It's something that otherwise smart software engineers get wrong because they don't have enough of a background in data analytics.

The problem has two parts. One part of the problem is that once you reduce an observation to summary statistics, you can't go back. The other part of a problem is that web services usually generate too much data if you don't summarize.

The headline is typical for this kind of health reporting.

"X is not safe at any level" is like arguing about the slope of a curve without discussing it's baseline or scale.
The health problems considered are in the list of things that might be caused by alcohol, but they also have causes other than alcohol.

So 914 vs 918 out of 100,000? That's gotta be below statistical significance.

rent dwellers on the other hand can move whenever they want while home owners are chained to their property. Each time they sell and buy a new property they run a risk of buying lower quality than advertised, selling under value, and they do lose money in fees. Also, home ownership doesn't make you immune from gentrification due to property taxes. Especially if you "only" own a flat in a multi storey building, then you have only little influence in your maintenance fees bills.

That being said, personally, I still prefer home ownership over renting.
