The math for this ends up being extremely complex. The leverage is one part, and a big one. You have to account for closing costs (especially when selling), and uncertainty around how long you'll stay. But you could theoretically rent it out. But as we've seen, some cities could keep an eviction moratorium going and that could be costly. Housing in some areas skyrocketed in values, but you could be buying a lemon since "no inspection contingency" is the norm in hot markets. Taxes and HoA fees can go up a fair bit too, and there's maintenance. There's a few psychological factors that don't factor in the math, like how you may do renovations that don't translate 1:1 to home value that you wouldn't do if you're renting. On the other hand, rent does go up, generally faster than property taxes.

It's really a toss up based on a lot of variables, but generally, yeah, home ownership will come up ahead. Not always though. While if you invest in a total market index, you're main risk is the entire country tanking, it's different with a home. You're gambling on that ONE PARTICULAR HOME in one particular place. That's a lot riskier than an index fund.

But you get to make holes in the walls without anyone yelling at you, and that's a big plus.

> The spendings will only grow as more and more similar court rulings are handed out (which without a doubt will come eventually). It will become near impossible to uphold a DNS service, and all small DNS resolvers will vanish.

I run one such small public DNS (DoH-only) resolver (primarily popular in countries where censorship is low to moderate), and know several other folks who do. Just the other day we were discussing the implications of this ruling, but coming from a country with dismal digital/internet freedom track-record, this made me sit back and contemplate for a bit (unblocking access to censored web properties may soon be a crime as the government here bids to criminalise VPNs):

I believe, the inevitable over-regulation and insurmountable legal threats are going to ruin it for the hobbyists who thrive at the fringes. Internet may soon go the way of the telecom industry. Controlled by a few, regulated to oblivion, with high barriers to entry.

I hope I am wrong.
I somewhat disagree. I work with a lot of excel power users. We have some massive spreadsheets which are collaboratively worked on and do complicated things. The first thing to say about them is that they are very valuable to the business so it is important to be able to do some of the things excel does.

Excel has a lot of advantages compared to regular programming:

- It is quick to change. The programs I work on take nearly an hour to go from code review completion to production, even with manual poking to speed up continuous deployment. It can be valuable to be able to change things quickly.

- In excel the main thing you interact with is the data. If you are a domain expert then you should be able to look at outputs and see if they seem right. When you change a formula or add a column, you are, in some sense, also getting to run it on realistic data instead of needing to try to construct realistic tests.

- There isn’t much difference between config parameters and hard coded values. In the programming language I use, you can’t really have globally readable configs so any new parameter must be threaded through from app startup to the place you want to use it, discouraging configuration parameters. Which means it is often slow to change something that ought to have been configurable. In excel you can make a quick cell for some Config parameter (changing a lot of formulas is not so fun though.)

- Functional and declarative, Excel tends to give you internally consistent output. There is less need to worry about incorrect state updates.

- Its maybe better for producing graphs. I never really liked making graphs in excel and I thought the defaults were bad for good data visualisation but then other systems have bad defaults (when I draw a graph I often use GNU Calc with gnuplot…)

- Pivot tables are great for ad-hoc analysis (indeed Excel is pretty good for as-hoc analysis in general.) The pivoting operation is trivial in excel and a big pain to with tools like grep or awk or sed.

These Excel users are generally capable of programming too and may use jupyter notebooks with python or R, or something more fully featured when required. And some things will get outsourced to software engineers, but excel is still clearly useful (so long as it scales) and people don’t just use it because they are desperate for some kind of ‘real’ programming language.
I'm not going to say that the larger number of women entering the work force has had no effect on home prices, however even if it did it's not necessarily a net negative. A larger workforce leads to more economic output, more innovation (there are countless innovations that have probably failed to be made over the generations due to the impact of women not working) that leads to quality of life improvements, productivity improvements, price drops, and other improvements. Food as a percentage of income has dropped dramatically over the years. Same with technologies like computers and home appliances. Houses are also way bigger than they were decades ago.

I live in a 2 income house with a kid, I'm not sure that the alternative (considering the economy as a whole and not just home prices) is actually preferable.

It's also probably pretty difficult to disentangle the effect on home prices from more women working from the effect on home prices from other things like low interest rates. There's likely not a single cause for this, but rather an outcome of some aggregate of causes. It's entirely possible that more women working does increase home prices some, but that it's only some fraction of the overall increase we've seen, and that families come out ahead on this economically by a wide margin. Especially taking into account the aggregate effect a larger labor force has on output and productivity.

Only for a lack of imagination would you fail to perfectly model your target problem domain in terms of tables & columns... You would have a fucking monster of a time trying to describe to me a practical problem that I could not hypothetically wrangle & demonstrate with Excel. Just think about it. You can model a ray tracer in Excel if you have the patience for it.

The magic of Excel is that it runs everywhere and is very intuitive to work with. I honestly can't recall any users who were simply unable to function in a basic read-only way with Excel. Iterating complex problem domains in excel workbooks is a low-friction way to collaborate with your business stakeholders.

Once you get it nice in Excel, the next steps are compelling. Using an obvious 1:1 mapping between Excel worksheets and SQL tables, you trivially move all data items into a realm to be easily queried using a declarative, domain-specific language. You can also sprinkle in views and user-defined functions for maximum happiness on the business-side of the house.

The richer and better-normalized the relational model, the better your SQL interface will be. If you ignore the performance equation for just a few seconds, you might see the blinding luminosity of cleanliness that emerges from normal forms beyond the 3rd one. We are going to investigate a variation on 6NF for the next major version of our product.

I will conclude my rant by saying that there is no logical determination/interpolation/projection of facts which is unachievable in an ideal SQL representation. It is very easy to teach SQL to non-wizards by way of the mighty example. Excel is the most important starting point on this journey, because it defines the common language and relations that you and the business will use to refer to all of the things.
I'm about to pitch this to my manager. We have automated manufacturing going through Excel. It allows the domain experts to tweak the manufacturing process without having to learn to code.

This would be more believable position if nurse practitioners have ever been able to demonstrate equivalent medical knowledge to physicians, but when the best trained NPs were given the chance to take a watered down version of Step 3 which has a 97% MD pass rate with 1-3 weeks of casual studying, only 40% passed. The reality is an equivalent number of years does not equate the quality and rigor of the family medicine which is argueably one of the hardest specialties. This is notwithstanding the explosion of NP diploma mills with classes on lobbying and health care disparities who take any applicant with a pulse.

But, because healthcare is public in NZ you wouldn't bother with the brand names as you'll have to pay for them (generics are funded by the taxpayer through Pharmac, which is the crown entity that is responsible for buying all publicly funded medication for NZ).

It's like Private hospitals, we have them, but very few people use them as the public system is better equipped and paid for by the tax payer.

If this is a serious question, this is why:

Confluence users are enterprise companies, and getting a self-hosted server up and running is too much pain to be bothered to deal with.

This is a process problem. The steps to get one would be something like:

- try and find the “provision a server” option in the corporate service portal (there probably isn’t one)

- ask someone if they know how to provision one. Get a link to a separate system where you can make the request

- you need to associate the instance with a cost centre, or maybe you literally need a credit card number, don’t forget to attach written manager approval

- update the project’s budget to include the unexpected cost of this internal service. Hopefully there’s actually some margin to afford it.

- wait a day or two for the request to go through

- get the instance details, RDP in and try and set everything up. Realise you need to make a separate request for admin rights to install non-base software if you don’t want to use IIS and MSSQL server

- wait a day for admin rights. Don’t forget to add written manager approval to the request or else it will be denied

- realise you need to make a separate DNS request to get a friendly url for the team to access it. Also, how are you going to secure access to just your team members? Need to integrate with the corporate AD

- …about a dozen more steps

Compare all of that with:

- Go to the corporate confluence instance

- click “Create”, add your team members with edit rights.

- done

Confluence itself may not be a great experience to use, but it’s solving the problem of getting to the point of having a wiki setup in the first place.

> The paradox arises around the 100.00000000...% accurate algorithm.

Is it? As I said, my decision up-front is to flip a perfectly fair coin (or substitute in your favorite CSPRNG or TRNG). So your machine could have whatever claimed accuracy percentage, but I can't see how there's anything to predict beyond 50% and any machine that does so would have to be magical (i.e. outside the rules of science/mathematics).

I used that as a stand-in for my intuitive thought that such a machine's accuracy is time-dependent - the further out from the original scan you are, the more "random coin flips" your brain has experienced & thus you degrade very quickly to somewhere around 50% accuracy. You could try to mitigate that by having a super accurate model of how your brain works & trying to measure all the inputs it has encountered since, but ultimately the machine has to degrade to 50% at some point in time unless "magic". I guess you could do worse than 50%, but given this is a binary choice, any such result I think would mean you could just take the complementary result so the lower bound should always be 50%? Not sure about that last point.
I used to think the more innocuous-sounding phrase, “climate change” was (successfully) promoted over the term “global warming” by fossil fuel propagandists. Climates change as a matter of course and it would suit the fossil fuel industry to downplay the anthropogenic escalation of the “greenhouse effect”.

However, this article concurs with your explanation: https://www.dictionary.com/e/new-words-surrounding-climate-c...

> Climate change is a term that better encompasses the myriad longterm changes to the climate that can be brought on by an increase in Earth’s average temperature. These effects include more heat waves and rising sea levels as polar ice caps melt, but they also include extreme cold, droughts, floods, fires, and catastrophic storms.
Good distinction to make.

When you take out a loan, you receive cash. That cash increases your assets, while the loan increases your liabilities (such that your equity does not change - until you have to pay interest.).

(Though, notably, for a bank the client deposits are liabilities, and the loans to clients are assets, indeed.)
> Homebuyers will make purchasing decision based on their monthly mortgage payments, instead of the home price.

Which is crazy, right? People max out their "borrowing power" at low interest rates and take on huge loans, without considering that the declining interest rates that fueled past appreciation don't have much room left to move down, and that they'll be underwater on that huge loan if interest rates go up* and the value of the property declines.

*EDIT: To be clear, I mean interest rates on new loans being higher than they were before, not that the loan is variable-rate.

Sweet corn (what we eat) needs to be cooked but is edible raw. Feed corn is tough as nails. Field corn is more starch than sugar and has a much lower moisture content. Almost all corn is field corn, more than 95% of the total crop. You can eat field corn but it’s about as appealing as hard tack.
The way I think about higher dimensions is just by looking what a sphere of radius r looks like in cartesian coordinates

x^2 + y^2 = r^2 in 2D

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = r^2 in 3D

x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + t^2 = r^2 in 4D

If that leads to some weird behaviors (spheres are very 'spike-y') then so be it, I don't understand why intuition from 3D is important

Things gets 'weirder' in higher dim manifolds but not really, it's only hard if you want to 'see' it in 3d Euclidean
The value of e is a sideshow, and the entire CICO equation is a sideshow: an equation is a grossly oversimplified model. Humans are not static heat engines.

So according to your logic, taxes used to subsidize electricity production should not be included when calculating the cost of electricity, which can only give rise to a meaningless cost. Germany imposes such high taxes because they have such massive subsidies for producers. That is why electricity costs so much more in Germany — because it costs so much more to produce. But being fungible, the cost of wholesale electricity on the transnational exchanges will of course tend to the law of one price. It is the taxes that bring this in line with reality as to the fully loaded cost of generation, which in Germany is much higher.
You have never been to Russia and yet feel comfortable saying it is "something else in this regard", basing the statement on a YouTube search.

The average stats are about the same, but that's as useful a number as the average temperature of the patients in a hospital.

For the places a visitor is likely to go, Russia will definitely feel safer. Crime there is largely pushed out of the densely populated city cores and into the outskirts. In the US, it's the opposite. A downtown core looks (and smells) like a dystopia unimaginable to most citizens of the world. People are always shocked at how terrible the world cities that heard about so much look in person.
Well, to take the example here of Islam, that's not entirely correct. In Islam, those who are following Judaeo-Christian belief systems are considered 'brothers of the book' (or something to that effect). The worst that some sects believe is that they are 'well meaning, but not aware of the truth of Mohamed'. I'm specifically not talking about radical Jihadist sects, but the more 'middle of the road' Muslims who are closer to the average church going American than an Al-Qaeda member.
