I haven't played with the NY times calc, but is the following correct:

Housing prices only keep pace with inflation. America realizes it totally forgot about a few million homes it built, greatly expanding supply. Housing prices rise only 2%. Alice is much, much worse off for buying. In total, buying costs ~$1.75M, where renting would have cost her ~$1.3M. Because her finances were tied up in the house while the home value has gone up so little, Alice has minimal savings. Her daughter receives some financial aid, but takes on hundreds of thousands of student loan debt to go to college.

Yes, in 18 years Alice will spend $1.75M, but she'll also own a big share or all of the house. On the other side when renting she ends owning nothing after 18 years. Or is the calculator taking in consideration the selling price of the house?

That one is also failing for me.
It amuses me this recent panic in the US. The UK has had this housing problem for over 20 years.

Reality in the UK is that if you can find the downpayment on a mortgage, the monthly outgoings in that mortgage (both the interest and the capital) are less than the rent. Sure you might have to replace a roof every 50-100 years (I had a quote in 2021 for my 60 year old roof for 4% of the value of the house), or a new heating system every 30 years (just replaced mine from the 80s, 3% of the cost of the house), but on the whole the vast majority of the cost is in that mortgage payment
Cognitive dissonance means harboring contradicting thoughts. The difference in you and your friend’s situation is caused by the fact that they are selling labor which has a much lower price than the labor you are selling. This is not contradictory, just a consequence of supply and demand.
Right, in order not to talk about pink elephants you have to be particularly interested in pink elephants and therefore you gather a lot of pink elephant knowledge.

I have similar thoughts about swearing being kept alive by teaching children not to say "bad" words and various kinds of bigotry being amplified at this point by people trying to fight against it.
In case you need a nudge from another very happy kagi user, consider trying it out.

I used kagi for a few months when it was still in beta (and thus free) and had to decide if I wanted to pay for it to keep using it, or go back to ad supported internet search.

After wincing at the price for a bit I realised that my expectations for how much search should cost were all based on free ad supported search engines. The value I derive from a good search engine is enormous, and easily visible if you imagine the internet without it.

This makes paying for kagi a nobrainer. Their search results are really good and they have an incentive to keep it that way.
It's a solid product, with a great value proposition (if you recalibrate your expectation) and I am also regularly reminded that this is how to actually vote with your wallet. I feel like we need kagi (or something like it) to succeed. If it turns out that paid search is not a viable business, then what chance do we have left for a search engine that has its intentions aligned with its users?

But it's first and foremost a great experience. Fast, great results, clean layout and a bunch of nice user-centric features on top.
The idealism just helps to accept a cost.
My rent for my cockroach invested, 150 sq ft apartment is larger than my parent's mortgage for their suburban McMansion about 45m-1h away, and my rent is absolutely on the cheap side for a 1bd room in the area.
Nice thing about housing is you can continually lock in the lowest interest rate and keep it locked for 30 years. So the example in the article of 7% interest may drop to 3.5% if the fed needs to get the economy going again, allowing you to refinance.

Housing in ghost cities doesn't count. Housing needs to be available where the jobs are.
There's a huge cultural difference there though -- people don't trust stocks, bonds, or bank accounts. Housing is the only investment most people will consider.

... mostly around the hope they can jump ship before the Titanic pulls them under.
It's practically impossible for US society to get out of treating housing as an investment. Americans believe in home ownership as evidence of prudence (hard work + savings), acumen (housing always goes up so it's smart to buy a house!), and sense of security and achievement. These ideas aren't going to change any time soon. That's the ideological component. Home-owners also protect their investments because they're a very large group (including practically every politician) and constitute the donor class.

It's currently hard to take small steps toward stabilizing housing prices and reducing homelessness. Housing is easy to talk about, just like inequality. But it's hard to see evidence of much political will to solve these problems.

It will take a lot more housing inaccessibility, especially if it hits the currently affluent class.

Postmodernists and deconstructionists believe that the absence of something creates a ghost presence by its absence. See Derrida's "Plato's Pharmacy".

Kids who underwent D.A.R.E. training in school (an educational program about the dangers of illegal drugs conducted jointly by schools and police departments in the USA) were more likely to try drugs. Something similar applies to e.g., kids who are warned about online porn: the warning stokes their curiosity.

Rental payments are higher than mortgages in most large cities. And those renters usually can't even qualify for a mortgage, despite paying more in rent.

My father said, when he asked for advice, his American Indian friends might ponder a serious question at considerable length (even months).

Did anyone ever make this decision explicitly?

If you consider "the value delivered" to be the totality of all the content on the platforms, then sure. But that's not actually valuable to most of the people subscribing, so it's ultimately a useless way of looking at it.

Any given person is only going to care about some small fraction of the media available for watching, and when that fraction is spread out across 6 different streaming services, the "value" they're getting from any single one of those is fairly small.

Furthermore, similar to what ldhough says, many of us remember when we could get basically all that content on Netflix, and we know perfectly well that a) the content providers could be making reasonable amounts of money through a streaming deal like that, and b) the reason they decided to launch their own service is one part insatiable desire for ever increasing profit, one part unrelenting crusade for absolute control over everything they own. Nowhere in there is "value to the customer".

There's a quote that I've seen go 'round a few times, to the effect of "the streaming services really need to remember that their entire value proposition is being slightly more convenient than piracy."
I'm unable to read the rest of it, because of paywall.

But, I can tell you why - and it should be obvious, the things that got cheaper are things that we used to make here and now do not.

So either expected standard of living rose - so we moved that manufacturing overseas, or we moved the manufacturing overseas, but people still need to make enough wages to live on, so the amount wages for service labor rises every higher (which used to be paid less than a factory worker).

It could also be a combination of those factors. Service labor in a generation or more ago, (generally, but not exclusively) was not expected to be a primary income for a wage earner supporting a family, and now it is.

It'd be interesting to overlay landline telecom services over on that cost growth.

I would honestly expect that if we had more protectionist policies in re imports, I would expect you'd see all of the curves moving upwards slowly, but the wage growth for service jobs might look somewhat flatter. College textbooks and tuition are going up because there is little in the way of cost constraints applied to colleges and the cost of an education (being that its financed by unlimited debt).

You don’t have to change that.

Yes, there is an inconsistency in the amount of effort expended to survive versus the outcomes of that effort. I can't reconcile them in my head. I'm watching my friend trying not to physically deteriorate and have some modicum of comfort while I sit here on my couch living off savings from the job I recently quit. Nothing I do can be so much more valuable than what he does.

RE was always a "meh" investment (nominal with inflation) - with growth due to prior demographic waves; The past 2008+, bubble interest rates and money printing have have created a difference in real returns and nominal ones. Which have subsided.

Realize the investment underpinning before taking on the investment. RE of a personal residence is rarely a good idea... buy cheap personal homes (small liabilities), and then use the excess to buy rental homes (income asset + depreciation).
It's all so tiresome.

Watching boomers pop champagne corks as their homes went astronomically high and their children were priced out of ever living in the middle class neighborhoods they grew up in in CA, and now watching them eat that equity down with reverse mortgages, has made me permanently disgusted with the US housing market.

The only solution I can see is absolute carnage in the housing market, and probably the entire financial system failing. And I'm kind of rooting for that, even though I own a home and financial assets: I have children, and I'd like for them to not be in perpetual two-earners + debt slavery in order to afford what their grand parents were able to afford on one salary.

> The source address for external connections is effectively randomized

It's still unique to one device right?, even if random my argument still holds.

Or do you mean to say multiple devices can use the same address?

note: I've read the RFCs and they just mean - initial address is random but unique to a device. Each day the address will likely change but new address is still unique to the device (otherwise how would routing work).

This is what I structured my inital argument on. Do you see any fallacy in logic?

Nowadays SimCity seems wholly replaced by City Skylines. I had to look up when that was released, but it turns out the release of City Skylines was directly caused by the failure of SimCity:

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cities:_Skylines :

As long as land has different levels of productivity it's impossible to not make housing an investment. The only solution are exponentially increasing taxes on land, in order to ensure that land usage is always used in tandem with the potential productivity (which has its own issues), or make most housing nationalized like Singapore.

In the end, for better or for worse, the issue is a dissonance between the struggle of renters and political activity. Homeowners do not make up the majority of the electorate (though interestingly the majority of households "own" the household in which they reside). You'd think that renters would the laws in their areas reflect their will, but alas, renters have low voter turnout.

Why would changing N seconds break network? It would presumably keep active addresses until connections finish. IPv6 requires supporting multiple addresses per interface.

More reasonable is to use new address for each connection. Then nobody can tell if 10 addresses and 10 connections are one device or ten.

Tell HN: LTSE Equity Is Sheisty
Our startup initially chose LTSE Equity [1] for our cap table management. We were told in writing that it is an annual plan that then goes month-to-month.

Fast forward 16 months and we haven't been using it. It's just not that useful of a tool for us, so we are switching to a competitor.

The button to change plans in LTSE's dashboard doesn't work, it just shows a spinner. So we contacted support, who insisted on a meeting before cancelling the plan. We said we are not interested in meeting, and now they are saying our plan is annual, and we have 8 months remaining.

We plan to file chargebacks as we have in writing that the plan is month-to-month, but I wanted the community to know that LTSE Equity uses dark patterns to avoid cancellation, and is doing business dishonestly in general.

What I think would help at least is if prices stopped increasing. That way, people who buy now at least won't lose money, but the expectation that valuations will continue to go up will have to taper off.

Also, in the case of high-cost coastal cities, I don't think the issue is trust in government propping up prices, as much as it's trust that demand will continue to outpace supply for the next several years at least.
The clever thing about the globe is that it doesn't do arbitrary rotations, so the mechanical connections are simplified. Instead, it has two degrees of freedom through two fixed, co-axial shafts.

Specifically, the globe rotates at an angle of 51.8°, corresponding to the launch angle of the spacecraft. Spinning the globe at this angle gives you the orbital track without any real computation. The other rotation is the Earth around its axis. The trick here is that the equator is a fixed frame, while the two hemispheres are rotated based on the input shaft.
ChatGPT does indeed know nothing at all. Proving this is quite easy, it was trained on text generation and can generate paragraphs quite well, so if you ask it to tell you about Harry Potter's family tree it will do well.

However, it will fail immediately when you ask it to print an ASCII chart of Harry Potter's family tree, because it does not actually "know" anything, and it will make all sorts of odd connections.

The clearest observation I can make of ChatGPT's success is that the general public is quite ill-informed and easily impressed by theatrics, both lessons we've already learned from politics.
