> Is there any evidence that induced demand applies to housing as well?

Yes, plenty of people are discouraged from moving to a hot city due to the lack of supply. Increasing supply then moves discouraged demand into actual demand. Otherwise why do dense cities (like Shanghai, NYC, Manila) still experience housing shortages?

If the place is desirable, demand increases to catch up to the new supply, bringing us to the same place where we are now. Even if we built a lot of housing in a desirable place, enough that we hit a cut-off point: in a hundred years or so, we might have just had more children to soak up that supply (like what happens with agriculture surplus). Things go until an equilibrium is reached (where prices are high enough that demand is discouraged, or the place becomes undesirable to really reduce demand).

> It was never moralistically portrayed like you seem to want.

How else do you portray an intentional and centuries long systematic genocide of an entire continent of nations? How do you portray the greatest genocide in human history?

> But definitely it was mentioned that 90% of Indians were killed by European diseases, sometimes intentionally delivered like the trail of tears, and additionally whenever gold was rumored to be on a site the indians would be pushed out.

Nothing you listed indicate an actual genocide. You didn't read about actual hunting and raping and exterminating of natives that happened all across the country? You didn't read about actual statehood laws ( majority white ) which encouraged settlers to kill off the natives. You didn't read about the US government working with railroad tycoons to kill off the natives to build railroads?

As I said, if the natives were in charge, how do you think the history will be written? We'd be portrayed as monsters far worse than nazis. That was my point. History is written by the victors. Which you proved with your comment but yet deny.
Poverty in the US went down in 2020. CARES act wasn't a "wealth transfer", but you can claim rich people made all the money if you quote stock market gains starting at the bottom of the crash in March.

If you can buy a rundown house, yes. Now place yourself in the shoes of the generation who can't reasonable buy a rundown house in a place close to work, and are expected to commute to work. They are dependent on laws and profit margins for anything to happen.

When the profit margins say "building apartments isn't profitable" and the laws say "well whatever", nothing's gonna get torn down for apartments. Turns out when you build things to last and the mentality is that a 30yo house should still be in good shape, there's not a lot of profits to be gained tearing it down and building an apartment complex compared to renovating it a little and selling it to some upper middle class family with more dough to spend.

And yes, there are ways around this, e.g. turning that SFH into a sharehouse. Why that isn't happening more is a whole different story.

Go nuts. Rethink everything a million times. Sleep on it. Think about it in the light of past life altering decissions. Do it. If you regret it try cycling back if you can, retrace your steps. Go nuts, overthink it get a better and better model of how the world works. E.g after renting three apartments you will know more about the intricacies of the housing market this may or may not help you when renting a fourth apartment, after living in three countries you will know more about geopolitics and cultural diversity, this may or may not increase your happiness. Ultimately there are a lot of tiny and big life decission that will have a huge impact on your life quality, with most of them there is no real way of knowing beforehand how they will impact your life quality short-term and long-term. You just gotta wing it, that's life ...

>"What prevents you from just building more housing in all that extra space you have?"

That's the wrong way to look at the problem. Developers can already build in the hinterlands, but there's virtually no demand to do so because the economic activity is concentrated in the established cities. You also run into the Siberia problem where despite having massive tracts of "free/undeveloped" land in the taiga, actually inhabiting it is very expensive because of how brutal the weather can be. Unless you have something like a literal gold mine or oil well, the expense of heating the buildings and maintaining the equipment is not at all economically viable.

The paywall one is huge for me. I know Medium is a business, but the paywall hits you so fast. For a lot of the articles I'm reading, I'm not very invested in reading them (think "this looks interesting, I'll take 5 to look it over"), so blocking me with a paywall isn't going to get me to pay, it just keeps me from interacting with your site and content.

The first two points are also important! I love reading articles on substack. It's fast, it's clean, I know I'll be able to get to the article, read it, and maybe sub if I want to read more of the author's work. It's a great experience. Medium is the opposite. It feels slower, and if the article happens to not be interesting, I feel annoyed because I used up one of my free articles. It's bad enough that I now actively avoid Medium if I can.
> That sounds tremendously wasteful. All housing will have to be built new now?

It is if you're building concrete houses common in much of the world.

If you're building houses that are common houses in Japan, it's not nearly as bad.

When you think of a house as something that not only you will live in - but also will be the vast majority of your net worth that you pass down to your children - then building houses the Western way makes more sense.

When a house is just something you live in - you think of it more like renters do.

The other comment didn't actually have anything besides, to my best recall "Why do you find it exciting?"

And you're right, maybe I'm not considering my audience enough. My emotion is certainly negative, but it's one of fear and dismay.

Before going somewhere to live it helps to visit first. That advice goes well for careers too, take a tour, do some interviews, visit before committing.

I live in the USA, it's a place of wealth and a place of poverty(Ex. homeless camps in San Fransico), two different worlds within a block of each other in the same city. So one who isn't from here or even one who is but lives pretty one sidedly from one side of those two worlds may not see it clearly. I've not even touched on how different it is from state to state, living in Kansas is vastly different from New York. Most of my friends who have moved here or were thinking of moving here have found out that it wasn't as good as they thought, meanwhile a lot of my friends that have grown up here are looking to immigrate to europe, the pay is less (sometimes as low as half) but the life is better is the short answer. But in many ways if you want to make a dent in the universe or make a lot of money, the US is still the place to be. So just to reemphasize the first point, before commiting; do research, ask questions, take a trip to visit.

As for career vs family, is anyone happy with choosing career first? That would depend on the quality of the family vs the quailty of the career. Like that quote from "stranger than fiction" I'm paraphrasing but "between choosing life and pancakes, it depends on the type of life and the quality of the pancakes". One needs money to live, but how do they live once they have money, why did they want money in the first place?

As for pressure, I have no idea, but I do know that if it has caused you burnout, then one should ease up from then on.

Further, because the app could be pushing you to not use those words that are perfectly suitable in your culture. Overtime you may find yourself not using them in every day which would be gradually changing your unique culture.

Maybe there is some functionality here that I am missing that actually takes audience into account. But from what I can tell from the outside this is pushing one English ideal onto the world.

And modern AIs can coordinate those attacks for us automatically. Not even a "deep learning" AI either, we're talking about old-school flocking behaviors that's well studied and understood.

Managerial types who value interpersonal interactions definitely value being in the office. But I've noticed that a lot of individual contributors in the technology field are almost outright antisocial. Perhaps their days are so full of pointless emails and conference calls that they justifiably dread human interaction. If so, then these workplaces have much deeper issues with productivity and communication efficiency.

From personal experience, technical individual contributors tend to be much more introverted, and something like ADHD can make constant interruptions far worse than a mere inconvenience. Still, some of them come across as outright misanthropes for some reason.

Introversion is fine, and even introverted managers can do OK so long as they don't bite off more than they can chew. But you cannot manage people if you don't have basic interpersonal skills. In fact, it's helpful to be able to look someone in the eye and see how motivated they are.
I was following Quantopian because it answered the question. Can you find a signal. They did a great job at giving you the tools to test your strategy and unsurprisingly a lot of people found a lot of signals. They even had standard best practices on using test and validation sets to ensure you weren't data mining or overfitting.

So they created a hedge fund with the best performing strategies, and it did very poorly. Backtesting is a non-trivial matter and is incredibly hard to do correctly. You can lie to yourself or do it poorly. You can basically fit to the test set or create enough iterations to find one that does equally well on train, test and validation, but without a lot of experience, intellectual honesty and the right incentives can you turn that into a strategy. That's essentially what RenTec built. A backtesting and risk control system so they can look at data in a sanitized way, test strategies and ensure they're profitable going forward.

> "Because, if you haven't noticed, we are running out of energy?"

Energy as an abstract concern is a very low priority for any hobbyist games creator. You care about building cool stuff. You only care about energy if it impacts your game.

This is simply not true. There are even commercial BASICs that specialize in game creation.

Nobody with an interest in videogame creation is. It was a very cheap 286 PC clone anyway; we couldn't afford a brand PC. But I acknowledge most people weren't programming at home back then.

My point: Raspberries aren't at all needed for programming. Any computer would do. You don't need a magic device.

I was developing a real-time multiplayer game a long time ago (It was a rip-off of the arcade game Killer Queen which then got ported to PC and Switch as Killer Queen Black).

The most important thing IMO when developing a multiplayer game is that you do not let clients make decisions. This is such a painfully easy way to prevent one avenue of cheating, yet some FPS games (like PUBG) allow it (or at least, did allow it in the past) and so one way of cheating was for the client to tell the server it scored a hit despite the target not being line of sight. And I don't mean "the target was running behind a wall and latency allowed the hit", I mean "The target has been inside this house, not exposed to any windows, and still got hit" or "The target was on the other side of a 40-foot tall hill and couldn't possibly have gotten hit".

The second is that when possible, you don't send any state to clients that they don't need to see. This is harder in a real-time game like an FPS, but in, say, a Poker game, it's easy.

My implementation was pretty simple. The simulation ran at 60 ticks per second. Both client and server would store the last 120 tick states (The state of the game was pretty small, less than 1 kilobyte). Clients would send their user inputs and the tick number of the input. When the server got it, it would go back to that tick and re-simulate the game to the current tick assuming the user kept that input. It would also relay that input to other players, which would also roll back and re-simulate.

In this model, clients have zero authority. The only messages they can send are player inputs and pings. The simulation is deterministic, and I used TCP, so theoretically, the server would never have to send a full state.

To avoid players "jumping" on the screen when they change direction, you render their location from the previous tick. It makes their location 1 frame behind, but it smooths out latency correction.

To prevent players from using lag to cheat (ie, waiting to see what other players do, then send inputs with old tick numbers that would move them into an advantageous position), I would simply reject any inputs from more than 30 ticks (1/2 second) behind, send a message to the client that they're lagging, and send a full copy of the game state to the client to resync them so that the player sees what the server sees after their input was ignored.

Overall, it was pretty simple to implement, prevented cheating, and handled latency well enough.

The problem is, I got bored after writing all that code and never actually fleshed out the game mechanics.
