You’re doing this wherever you arrive too, and then you’re doing it again when you return. It sucks, as someone who lives in a city that actually values transportation.

So, how would you like it if I said that the nearest parking to both your home and your favorite store is a 15 minute journey away? And the whole time it’d be loud and annoying? Would you still drive there?
Eventually, people just move away. US states with a high cost of living have lost millions of residents to low cost of living states during the last 10 years, to the point when California and New York are about to lose an electoral college seat each. And, yes, California and New York landlords are partially responsible for that for the reasons mentioned above.

The financial industry is moving away from the northeast to the south, primarily Florida, Texas, and the Carolinas.

High rents, taxes, and property prices make people and businesses run away.
So, if houses were to become investments on a massive scale, and -- as seems inevitable -- they ended up in the hands of only a few, does that change the politics of housing supply?

Before, your neighborhood's voters were homeowners who benefit from rising property values; after, they're renters who benefit from falling rents.

I've heard that Germany has more of this renting situation but no idea about the politics of housing supply over there.
Tackle it by embracing the oppositional part of ADHD. Say fuck the FOMO. Fuck popular things. Get into rabbit holes where you just do. Do more. Become the news. Become the "experts" that you read online or watch online. There will always be more new. You aren't missing out on keeping up, you are missing out on applying knowledge daily. Do you wanna be an armchair expert? Or do you wanna be the guy that knows because they spent all day and all night doing this one complicated thing and you forgot to eat too and maybe shower but you figured it out as the sun was rising... And because of that you realize what you thought you knew from reading it online was wrong and everyone is wrong and from now on I'm just going to keep my mouth shut cuz I swear no one does anything right they just read and copy paste each other's opinions and no one does anything original anymore walks away but keeps going on and on about this because I've lost control of my life

Yeah I have ADHD too... Just do what I'm doing. It's great!

It's nice to learn there is a name for something that took me a few years to discover. If something doesn't make sense to me, it's probably because I'm not realising the whole scenario.

I've learnt not to critique other peoples designs without a full understanding.
The designer probably would have changed a few things if they had a second attempt. Unknown and usually silly requirements can play a big part in design that you as an outsider are unaware of. I've learnt to assume competence rather than incompetence. At the time, there was likely a very good reason for such a decision.
Cargoships have operation costs in the 10s to 100s of thousands per h. Sure you could bring that down for what's required here, but you'd still sink a lot of money into these ships. How many maritime subscribers would there be?

The work being done by ConsumerLab is really useful, but of course one has to pay for it. They are not quite so concerned with the source of the ingredients but they do laboratory testing to find out how much of the nutrient or principal is actually in the product and what the variation is. A label-focused approach, unfortunately, leaves a wide space for nearly outright lying in this field. For example, you can find 1200mg fish oil capsules that do not weigh 1200mg, including capsule. They may be filled with fish oil or with a mix of fish and other oils. The fish oil could be depleted of certain fatty acids after making an enriched product that is sold separately. Other supplements may claim to be herbal medications but are actually adulterated with the prescription medication to achieve an effect.

Current Good Manufacturing Practice is a good thing but in the supplement industry is mostly an attestation. Unlike drugs, supplement manufacturers are usually not evaluated by the FDA unless they have collected evidence of problems at the facility. It requires people designated as quality control officers, written practices, and storage of samples, but, unlike drugs, nobody checks this stuff before a supplement is sold. The supplement industry has had some powerful congressional allies, and it is possible that too much regulation would cause congress to revoke the FDA's authority over supplements entirely. (My speculation).

Another standard is USP. This standard includes GMP and goes beyond it, with verification of potency, vehicle breakdown/release of ingredient, and measurement of contaminants.

There are several well-known brands that are consistently on-target with their supplements, and others that are frequently off target. I haven't reviewed the data recently so I won't list them here.

> The statistical math we use in quantum mechanics is not "real", it's an human invention to approximate something that we don't understand yet.

What does it mean to understand something?

You could argue understanding is just as much a human invention as math is.

"Reality" (if there is such a thing) is independent of anything the human mind comes up with (whether that's understanding, math, or something else).... or is it?

note this is stopping services on a 2 track railway (not total trains)

if you're talking about total trains then somewhere like clapham junction is way, way higher (something like 180/hour)

back to stopping services: thameslink core manages 24, and that entire route is several hundred miles long

and crossrail core will do 24 on opening, designed upto 30 (the railway on either end is also several hundred miles long)
Thank you for this! It would be helpful to show your research in more detail to give confidence in the accuracy of the information in the table.

The page states that Amazon or iHerb referrals are used depending on which price is the lowest. Amazon is known for counterfeiting- I would never by a supplement from there. Stick with iHerb, which is effectively a first party only store but has reliably fast and cheap shipping of supplements.

Besides ingredient sourcing, if you are interested in this site you may be interested in whether the supplement contains what it claims- consumerlab.com regularly tests supplements to verify the contents and also look for toxic impurities.

The short squeeze was an effect of two things (too lazy to look up the details now): Porsche having funding issues and tye complicated share structure of VW, the short squeeze affected the class B(?, those with limited voting power) of VW. Without the financial crisis, Porsche could have easily financed the take over.

It was incredibly risky so. And the attemot was partially driven by a feud between the Porsche and Piech branches of the Porsche family tree, with the latter "represebting" VW. All that does is show us that high stakes decisions should never be taken based on "personal" issues.

Yes, a lot of these brands will not disclose to you ingredients they use unless it’s on the supplement facts. They are super paranoid with competitors reverse engineering their proprietary blends. We have direct relationships with a lot of the brands on your list, and we help them accelerate their sales channels and enter new markets. A lot of them are afraid to even enter the Canadian market because they will have to disclose their proprietary blends to Health Canada. There isn’t anything nefarious going on here, they are just super paranoid and protecting their trade secrets.

For what it’s worth, a lot of the companies on your list are 2nd and 3rd generation family run businesses with good intent to help people live healthier and feel good.

For example: Blue Bonnet Nutrition, Buried Treasure, Now Foods.

Musk is no different from your average "small government conservative", which basically means being anti-civilization. They won the birth lottery, and the society and the government are stopping them from going from rich to filthy rich quickly.

The only thing here is that Musk happens to be fascinated with electric cars and space travel (ever since he was a teenager). We just got lucky - he could as well have gotten into opioids or coal mining, and his desire to dismantle the laws and norms would have burned even brighter.

Strictly speaking, there is a legal mechanism to remove them, but it basically wouldn't happen short of them being a serial killer.

If someone doesn't know how to address an audience you can hardly blame the audience for not responding. Academic papers are written to further academic careers. Their audience is not developers, but other people who are also not developers.

Of course there is going to be an impedance mismatch. What makes people important, effective and useful isn't what silly snobbery they use to put other people down, but whether they can effectively communicate their ideas to the audience.

Purchasing cash wasn't really straight handing over a fat stack to the seller. A lot of "all cash" purchases were people who got loans through non-traditional means. So instead of getting a regular mortgage, they got financing through an institution who offered cash to the seller but is still a loan to the buyer.

I agree that most people investing in real estate aren't hoping for the underlying asset to significantly appreciate in value. Real estate pays significant dividends (more than stock), and you can be confident that it will provide a hedge against inflation.

Owning real estate also has a lot of tax advantages over stock (you can write off upkeep expenses and you can do a 1031 exchange, for example).

What area are you referring to where housing was understood to be a depreciating asset?

Though that’s true in the literal sense, there are only a handful of instances in American history where they was empirically the case.

Not to mention you don’t specify a locale which is the most important thing in real estate, heck, these days perhaps a neighborhood.

> Selling a company (and even anything in life) has to be a win-win situation, a world where there are only scammers / predators around you would be nightmarish.

How isn't this win-win? Musk gets a company for a price he considered acceptable. It's the same company. It's the same price. How was this win-win before when he made the agreement, but not win-win now?

> When you force people against their will, wtf business practice.

Against their will? He made an agreement to buy it. Does canceling the agreement against Twitter's will somehow not matter at all?

> What is the good thing to celebrate about that ? Also when selling companies, employee depend on that. You cannot have an owner who is hostile to your employees. The new owners become hostile because they are not financed enough (because they didn't want the deal), or because the board was hostile and forced the take-over.

If Musk really no longer wants Twitter and wants to reach an amicable resolution, he could start by offering $44 billion minus the current market value of Twitter. Twitter might very well accept that or something close to that. Then Musk wouldn't need to own something he doesn't want, but Twitter would still roughly be getting the overall value agreed upon with Musk.
None of those reasons are political though, they're all very reasonable technical and logistical reasons.

It’s a magnet for people who want to make a lot more money than they are qualified to get through salaried positions. You don’t need education, specialized skills, credentials, status, or connections to succeed. But you do have to be savvy because it’s a very complex business with many pitfalls. So it attracts people with few other opportunities for success, and a typical trajectory I’ve seen multiple times is they get successful quickly in a rapidly rising market, overextend and over leverage themselves, start cutting corners and committing small fraud to keep the gravy train rolling, and then lose control and collapse spectacularly when circumstances go against them (due to a softening market, failing marriage, substance abuse, etc).
I was referring to taxpayers subsidizing the actual loan itself, not the act of owning a home.

What are the tax incentives (in the US)?

On a federal level, all I can think of is mortgage interest tax deduction, but that was greatly neutered in 2017 TCJA, and less than 10% of Americans can benefit from it. And that is a tax incentive to borrow money to buy a home, not a tax incentive for home owners.

Only other one is 1031 exchange, but that is rarely needed for typical homeowners and is available to all real estate owners.

On a state/local level, I guess there are some locales with property tax adjustments, but other than that, I cannot come up with any.
The problem with this argument is rent.

If you can buy a house (to live in) without a mortgage, or with a very low rate, you not only reap the capital gain, but save on paying someone else rent.
> The current attitude toward housing is based on the recent explosion of house prices which is driven by financialization, extremely low interest rates, and demand outpacing supply where there are jobs.

These are the mechanisms by which the housing market has been driven to absurdity. But that reason why were here is that politicians and by extension the electorate on whose behalf they govern, decided to turn housing into a retirement plan. We then created enormous government programs to encourage people to partake in this scheme, which only robbed the future to pay the present. And now that many families have substantial wealth tied up in housing, it will be nearly impossible to voluntarily undo this mess.
There was little if any cooperation like that. The BART engineers were there own little tribe and let people know from up on high how things would go. This wasn't just the choice of gauge, it was everything about the design. In particular the collision avoidance system was conceived with very little input and took many years to sort out. The idea that BART engineers took input from Southern Pacific or anyone else has no supporting evidence and is counter to what is known about how they operated.
Until it's "Bell's Law", I think we should consider quantum mechanics a statistical approximation. Every time QM is questioned people point to Bell's Theorem and challenge anyone to disprove it, when it seems to me that it is QM which is making extraordinary claims that require extraordinary evidence. Every theory of physics has at one point been "the ultimate", and they have all been replaced by better theories as our ability to investigate has expanded.
