>For national policies prices should drop nation wide, ergo people would still be able to move inside the same country

No. Suppose I buy a million dollar house at 20% down. I thus owe $800k in principal to the bank. I live in the house for a few years, and build up $100k in additional equity beyond my down payment.

If housing prices stayed the same, I could sell the house for $1M, use $700k of that to pay off my remaining principal, and use the remaining $300k towards my next $1M house. (If housing prices appreciated by 20%, I have $300k in equity and $200k in profit to put towards another $1.2M house.)

Now suppose the housing market crashes by 50% and my house is worth $500k. If I sell my house for $500k, I still owe $200k of principal to the bank. I don’t have any leftover money to go towards another $500k house, or even a $0 house; instead, I have $200k in debt that buys me absolutely nothing.

However, unless there is another population boom on the horizon (which really seems unlikely at present). Property speculators must have their doubts.

This combined with climate change and it's ability to change the landscape (literally) makes it getting harder to predict where people might actually want to live.

For example, I visited Scottsdale, Arizona not long ago which is going through it's own mini-boom at the moment. Will that be a nice place to live in ten years with rising temps? One would have to ask the question? Would people still pay huge money to live in Tahoe with poor snow quality and lots of bush fires in summer?

You did say there's too many variables :)
I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down for even the slightest mention of urxvt. It feels like it was the One True Terminal for minimal desktops at one point, yet it's taken a backseat in the terminal wars. I'm sure it's mostly due to its default configuration trying to emulate xterm, making it behave and feel ancient.

It's extremely efficient and surprisingly powerful with its perl scripting and plethora of extensions using it. I keep finding out about functionality I didn't know about, and much like vim, my usage of it has been evolving over the years. It really has no shortcomings to me, and I wish I could keep using it properly in Wayland. Everything else just feels either too tacky with its game-changing features or too minimal.
Oh Starlink is still losing massive amounts of money. There’s absolutely no feasible way they’re profitable at this stage.

> This argument of "what if your family lived there before" in housing discussions annoys me to no end.

It's NOT about right - it's about demand. It's not relevant at all if it annoys you, the issue is that people can and do form sentimental attachments to the places where they live, and those attachments influence their willingness to pay (or hinder their willingness to sell).

And no - I'm not saying "imagine if the food supply was more constrained". I'm very clearly saying that food is fungible (you know - the thing I actually said...).

The housing supply is both constrained and non-fungible. The food supply can be constrained or not, but it's fungible as all get out - For the purposes of not starving, a calorie is a calorie, and where it comes from is irrelevant in a broad sense.
That bastard fuel.
While the “-tte” indicates a diminutive, cocottes aren’t particularly small. I wrote “a kind of” because I associate particular materials with them, including the enamel, which I don’t necessarily with what is called a casserole in English (which in turn is different from what is called a “casserole” in French, which is more a sauce pan). Maybe someone else has better knowledge about those cookware terms.
Really? How many non-mac computers sold without a Windows License?

One simple suggestion missing:

“Get paying customers, and take payment”

It’s not always possible but it is in most situations. A lot of (especially enterprise) customers are happy to front you money to build something they really need. Be up front about this.

The moment you do this, most other things with respect to prioritization + focus fall into place. YC says this often.

So he should leave the remnants of everyone else's imaginary Gods? You can't really have it both ways here.
The reluctance of the American academic bureaucracy to admit to the prevalence of fraud in academic research is understandable, but there are many examples. Some of the recent notables are the serotonin hypothesis of depression, and aspects of the amyloid theory of Alzheimer's. Data falsification is not uncommon, and it's often done for obvious reasons - a graduate student may want that positive result that finishes off their PhD work and gets them a needed publication, a professor may want to support their past work with new data and results, an academic startup may want to prop up their latest drug development results to draw in investors and big corporations, etc.

The reason academic institutions don't want to talk about it is the same reason that religious institutions don't want to talk about child abuse - it makes a mockery of their whole enterprise. With the former, it's the search for truth via the scientific process, and with the later it's upholding moral standards and guiding society. Both institutions cover up such things in order to preserve their public image - which, of course, allows such behaviors to persist.

Note also that the corporatization of research, i.e. the focus on generating lucrative patents and the resulting emphasis on keeping raw data secret, tends to amplify opportunities for fraud.

> Couldn't you equivalently use any STL/STEP/AMF viewer?

I'm not sure. A quick feedback loop is important. With OpenSCAD and CadQuery, you write code that defines the geometry. You then want to see what the geometry looks like, and possibly debug it. For this, you generally want to be able to give certain parts a different color, or opacity, wireframe, etc.

STL is out; it has to tessellate geometry turning it into triangles. AFAIK, it only supports one object. This means a sensible wireframe is out, and so are multiple parts. AMF has similar drawbacks. STEP files might work.

Generally, my understanding is many people write OpenSCAD code in their editor of choice, and then simply save the file. When you open an existing file in OpenSCAD GUI, it monitors it for changes, and refreshes. So this is great.

That said, I misspoke a bit. CQ-Editor is definitely somewhat close to OpenSCAD. It still has a - in my view - unnecessary code editor. But the last standalone release is over a year ago, and I found it to be extremely buggy on macOS. It crashes quite often. Meanwhile, Jupyer-CadQuery [0] works great.

> Seems a good choice to me that the GUI is a separate/subordinate project. I suppose it is somewhat necessary to have it at all, easier to gain popularity if you can show screenshots and have a single app 'quickstart'.

Generally, I think this is true. My personal opinion is I can be productive with something that has a minimal set of features but is rock-solid; over something that has gobs of features but is buggy. That was my main issue with FreeCAD. Ease of installation is another big one. For all it's issues, OpenSCAD gets both of these things right.

Personally, I can't stand the grammar of graphics approach to plotting. But leaving that aside, the last time I tried ggplot, it lacked tons of features that matlab plotting has. For instance

- zoom and pan

- Data cursor/data tip.

- Export data under cursor to a workspace variable

- Interactive editing of the plot, with code export.

Zoom/pan and data tips should be table stakes for a plotting package. A package that doesn't support that is not fit for use. IMO.

It can, at the same time, be correct as an (individual-level) descriptive statement but counterproductive as a (system-level) normative statement.

As in, it's probably realistically good advice to a PhD student, because it reflects the state of affairs, but it's possibly unfortunate that that is the case.
4x higher tax, not 4x total cost. First housing prices would crash, so rental prices would also drop. And they wouldn't go up 1:1 with tax increases. They would go up by some percentage which is fine. It should be a little more expensive month-to-month to rent vs. own. Renting should still be available, but a lower proportion of housing should be rentals.
> Yeah, also what's wrong with making a product first, marketing it, and seeing if it sells? No need for this landing-page-with-fake-pre-orders lying to your customers overhead.

The overhead of actually building the product is WAY more than just making a landing page.

Plus, knowing that there are people who are willing to give you money for a thing is very motivating.

Also, having pre-customers while you are building is a great way to know which parts of the product to focus on. The features you think are important may not be what your customers think.

Certainly there is a range of approaches in between vaporware and building in secret. But if you actually want to make money, you should start selling as soon as possible, even before it’s ready.

Things I want to be able to do:

1. Use the same build system for C++, Python, Java, Rust, Golang, etc. Any language should easily plug in.

2. I don't want to have to know exactly which g++/javac/cargo/go commands are being run under the hood.

3. I want to build source code and I also want to "build" release packages, docker containers, compressed asset packs, etc. Anything that starts with files and is "compiled" into an output should be expressible.

4. It should understand how testing works. It should be able to abstract "I need to run FooBarTest since I changed FooBar" from me. I just want to know all my tests passed.

4 1/2. We should be able to run tests in other architectures. Something like KVM could be used to start VMs to run tests on arm platforms from a x86 host.

5. I want to know code coverage for my tests in aggregate across all languages.

6. It should be easy to drop into a debugger for a test or binary.

7. I want to be able to zip up my source code, unzip it in 20 years, rerun the build on new computer, and have the build complete regardless of if I have an internet connection or not.

8. I want a package manager that just dumps source code and build instructions into a folder that the build system understands. This way when I open my source tree crosslinks will "just work" and we don't need to implement a new way to obtain source code + docs for every single language in every single IDE.

8 1/2. The package manager should also be able to fetch compilers/toolchains for things. If I want to cross compile all my code for arm and my code is written correctly it should "just work" without me needing to download something special. I shouldn't need to tell someone on windows to install 5 random unix emulation layers just so they can get a windows version of gcc. The package manager should just create a toolchain directory which contains at least bootstrap compilers.

9. It should expose an API so I can write tools that interface with it efficiently. My tools shouldn't care about the underlying language of my code so I can share tools with other people. EX: How many lines of code are in foobar-service? Does <library with CVE> ever get called by foobar-service? The build system's API should be general enough for me to implement this.

10. IDEs should take advantage of the build system's metadata and make better autocompletion suggestions.

The closest thing here is the Bazel/Buck/Pants/Please family of build systems but surrounding tooling for these does not exist yet (vendoring source code, package management, VMs for tests). Until we have a build system that supplies these features and is simple to use and supported by IDEs we'll keep getting new build systems.
Hi! Your application looks interesting! I have a question regarding your YouTube example: Where do you get property names like channelId,viewCount,keywords from? Thanks
If I sent you a picture of a home, and I asked you what it was worth, you wouldn't be able to answer me until I first mentioned it was in the middle of SF or if it was in the middle of the Arizona desert. The majority of urban values are not the value of the improvements but the value of the land.

The value of the unimproved value of land comes from your neighbors. It comes from your city. When roads and sewers and train stations are built, the value of being close to that infrastructure is given to the existing landowner. By properly returning this value to the city that created it, it gives them funding that they can use to build more infrastructure.

Eventually with a Land Value Tax is in place, what you propose of building new cities will happen. If you treat a city like a company, we might even see investment companies funding new cities. They make an investment of an infrastructure, get a profit, then they can use those profits and give back to their shareholders - the citizens. Or they could use those profits to build another city. The existing paradigm doesn't allow proper investment.

Right now they only charge for their costs and let the landowners take their share while the renters don't see a dime. Imagine if a company was not allowed to make a profit, and could only sell for a cost. That's exactly what happens with real estate today. They let landowners sit on empty lots that appreciate while they do nothing. They incentivize minimum parking requirements and single family zoned cities.
Before "capitalism" (globalization really I guess), you were eating apples from your neighbor's garden, wearing shoes made by your town's shoemaker, not from half around the world.
For me it was learning by practice. I had to build something, get stuck, and then search till I found the answer and repeat until the thing was built. And the thing was never important but just something to practice on. Like “make a countdown clock”

As someone who is financially responsible and generally have friends and family that are also the same, I don't understand BNPL.

It has never been attractive to me. If I can't afford something, I won't buy it. The only loans I will take out is a mortgage or a car but that's only because I need a roof over my head and a vehicle to get to work. My credit card debt gets paid in full every month. The only reason I use credit cards is because of the protections and the cash back, not to borrow money.

I don't know. It feels like financially responsible people get screwed all the time. Maybe BNPL will get too big to fail. And the government will bail companies/people out again, causing people like me to once again, lose.
> It's counter-intuitive but the majority of housing has to be non-owner-occupied for prices to fall

It seems likely the only way this happens is if the majority of real estate is owned by corporations or governments.

Replace "corporations" with "wealthy nobility" and we don't need to imagine how that plays out. Historically that's never been good for workers.
Correct! I may have forgotten to include a disclaimer that I am only referring to first time builders, those who want to build a lifestyle business or just test the waters with a new product idea.
Not to get political, but I was working heads down on my project back in 2015, for hours in the morning at once. Then MAGA came to D.C., and I knew I had only a couple of months left of true, serene, focused work - while the adults were still winding things down. Boy, was I right.

Ever since then I have not been able to focus. Everything is on fire, all the time. I envy the people who can tune out the world and pretend as if we are not living in a historic time, in the middle of a shift toward something very likely not good.

You are welcome to think that. But it is an opinion, and not one shared by everyone. Both are equally valid options; in my opinion. I've been in times of my life where owning was better for me. I've been in times of my life where renting was better for me. At the times I was renting, I was very grateful for the landlord I had at the time (mostly; I've had a small number of landlords I did not like); they take on the risk and responsibility that wasn't something I wanted to deal with at the time.
There are very few extensions that I trust, and to depend on an extension to do something as trivial as this is not worth the risk to me. This particular dark pattern isn't the darkest in the scheme of things.
