People live where they have jobs. Jobs usually exist where there are people - new jobs can be created if some company or industry’s growth demands it.

Amazon warehouses and Walmarts exist where there are enough people to justify it. Coffee shops, fast food restaurants, financial services, etc all provide jobs and are located in cities, not rural areas. Water service, electricity, natural gas service do not exist by default.

People can’t just choose to change where they want to live.
What games have you tried?
I'm already hearing the comments on Monday, people asking me how my "break" was, since I took off all of last week (I mean, I had to since the preschool our twins attend and the daycare our singleton attends were closed). Work is typically a break from what happens in the home, but when things at work are stressful it feels like coming out of the frying pan and into the fire.

We also have a similar experience, where adding families (with kids) is greatly beneficial for everyone, but the folks who have kids that we are truly good friends with live far away. Nearby we have playdates and dinners with other families but I wouldn't want to cohabit with them, not even for an overnight stay. So we also only get the holidays or special occasions with other families and then we can finally get a break.

> Aerial refuelling leaks would go overboard

That assumes it is not an internal leak of course. Where would the receiver probe be? Probably on the nose or on the forward section of the cabin roof and you have to pipe that back to the fuel tanks (mostly in or around the wings). If maintenance ever does a shoddy job on connecting those pipes the time you will realise it is when jet-a is firehosing out of the galley.

Now obviously that involves maintenance problems and a bit of bad luck too, but that is not an unheard of combination.
This is stupefyingly naive. Do you think sanctions and anti-money laundering laws are intended to catch irresponsible people?

You could have a submersible pump feed a second faucet; use the tub itself as the water reservoir. This might be doable in a smaller volume than a bathtub; feed/water trough come in 10gal to 100+ gal sizes.

Plumbing wise, something much like the "garden fountain" things, just with a bigger pump and more water capacity.

"powerful flow"? Really? Is it the volume of water, or is it the splash? A wider spout and/or a longer fall might make for a better display if the splash is the pleasing part. If its the impact on the pool, perhaps a narrower nozzle and more force when the stream hits the water would be better. Probably worth experimenting with.

Another thought: You can probably rig this up on a activation / timer switch; so your user can slap a button and have 60sec of splash or whatever. That can be complicated with "only one activation per hour" or whatever other gates you might want to put on it.
Assuming a “proper” solution exists. There are many world views that conflict with each other, and quite a few of those have the belief that they must “save” the people who have not reached their own “enlightened” viewpoint.
I think for me the appeal is that just that all the big brain programming language research seems to happen in weird new functional languages. I assume they're just a better petri dish for experimenting with weird shit, or maybe they come up with all the weird shit to be able to get things done in the Haskell-du-jour, or maybe weird shit just gets branded as functional programming by default. (These days the fp people always talk about linear types, or effects, or other things that don't seem to involve functions at all, idk what's up with that...)

I assume that all of this gets funding because ten years later it makes C# programmers more productive, not because of mass appeal.

I feel like we got really lucky.. We bought in 2014 and sold in the summer of 2019, moved and bought another place in October of that year. Interest was 3% and 3.5% respectively. Granted we moved from one southern major suburb to another in the Midwest...but the price wasn't that great of a jump.

The author of this piece is using as a base line the two most expensive housing markets in America. That's not really representatives of 95% of people. It's understandable not being able to afford to buy in Manhattan, or San Francisco, but have they tried Dayton, Ohio, Houston, Louisville, maybe Orlando?

Every single one of these articles about how outrageous, housing prices are always seem to hedge around this idea that buying a place is only worth it if you get to live in a very cosmopolitan, walkable neighborhood. Those are few, and in high demand, so it would reason they would command a higher price.

And here it is from OP (which made me laugh—right or wrong). And leave your hubris at home unless you rate yourself a damn fine statistician ;-)

“However, there is a delightful irony to the circumstances of their blunder. Here are two Ivy League professors7 arguing that unskilled people have a ‘dual burden’: not only are unskilled people ‘incompetent’ … they are unaware of their own incompetence.

“The irony is that the situation is actually reversed. In their seminal paper, Dunning and Kruger are the ones broadcasting their (statistical) incompetence by conflating autocorrelation for a psychological effect. In this light, the paper’s title may still be appropriate. It’s just that it was the authors (not the test subjects) who were ‘unskilled and unaware of it’.
The only sensible financial reaction is to save, save, save for a down payment well in excess of 20%. Just an extra 5% will save you roughly $150k On a 600k home over the course of a 30-yr 6.9% mortgage (the current rate).

Problem is that most people will never be able to achieve this - the average down payment for first home buyers is less than 10%.

Truly hate to say it but people will need to get used to buying homes much later in life.
> Note note: Don't sign your credit/debit card. Put "SEE ID" or something in the signature area.

When is the last time anybody has even looked at the back of your card?

Signature comparison (or even asking for a signature) is no longer required in most circumstances under the card schemes’ rules, whatever the signature panel says.
Assuming you mean detached houses, how can this be without a decrease in demand for land in the area you live in?

Either more people want to live where you are living (meaning the location is desirable), or fewer people want to live where you are living (meaning it is undesirable).

Technically, you could have a decline in population, but immigration will probably make up for that for a long time.
That would be more aligned with renting. For most people, their house is the biggest purchase they’ll ever make. It isn’t unreasonable to expect it to at least keep pace with inflation so they can sell it and afford to move into a nursing home someday. (Even with the massive growth we’ve seen in recent years, for most long term holders the annual rate of growth has significantly underperformed the markets, even before accounting for maintenance and taxes)

If it was simply a depreciating asset, housing would have to be sold for less than the construction cost in order for people to be able to sustain the depreciating value and have enough cash left over to invest elsewhere for their later years drawdown.
Yea, I don't understand myself, at least if they are in the US. Could be very location dependant, but mostly housing prices greatly increased since then.

It was used because of the nature of blockchain transactions as operations, but everything is simulated so no cryptocurrency is involved. Instead, every transaction represents a possible state change in the murder mystery (e.g. Alice walks from the Kitchen to the Bathroom). If the state change breaks any rule (e.g. let's say no more than two characters in the same room), then the transaction reverts and the fuzzing tool keeps exploring.

Oh, and just another observation about this point right here:

> Bash does not have named parameters for its functions, let alone metadata on them…

Come to think of it, actually a bash function can indeed have named parameters. Because that's exactly what command line flags with values are :-)

# these invocations are equivalent
awesome_util --source www.example.com --ignore-headers --dest file
awesome_util --dest file --source www.example.com --ignore-headers
awesome_util --ignore-headers --dest file --source www.example.com

In this example, it doesn't matter in what order I put the values for source, dest or the boolean to ignore headers, as they are all named by the associated command line flag.

But not a meaningful one. It's a signature panel, not an endorsement one like on checks, or a free-form message to card-accepting merchants.

Best case everybody will ignore it; worst case your card will be declined because somebody will still actually attempt to compare the signatures on the receipt and card, and “SEE ID” is not a signature.
How so? It's probably worth more now. You can sell, no?
I guess that goes for almost everyone. Until you are the person disowned. Nimby.

I and my family have been there twice. Thrice if you count my grandfather's quarry disowned by the Nazi's. Me and my parents were lucky to live in a lawful society. Where, at the very least, you can use the law to demand a fair price for the property, else we would've been without a house and without the money to get something new. First the garden for a road. Then the rest of the house for a new trains tunnel. We aren't some rich landowning, rent extracting family; just two working parents with a mortgage loan.

It makes me understand why people oppose windfarms, public infra and such. Even though I also consider such projects crucial to survive the coming decennia.
If interest rates to drop again in the foreseeable future, it will likely be due to an old fashioned recession.

If that happens, both mortgage rates and home prices will fall (due to lower demand / ability to pay and possibly forced selling).

The article doesn’t mention this scenario, even though it’s entirely probable. If you are waiting on the sidelines, that might actually be a good time to buy.

Of course the catch is that if the recession is bad enough to crash the housing market, you may find yourself out of a job and unable to afford anything, so the premise of the article stands — it may never be a good time to buy a house, at least not in the average buyer’s circumstances.

Unless you're working remotely those prices in Dayton are expensive as the local wages are much lower. People at the bottom end of income need places to live/rent too. And these days with collusion in the rental markets renting is a great way to go broke faster than ever.

> That’s in part thanks to mortgage rates. The monthly payment on a new home has increased by more than 50 percent in the past three years, as 30-year mortgage rates have climbed from less than 3 percent to nearly 8 percent.

Sounds like it's not just "in part", but more than 100% due to rising interest rates.

A $1mm 30 year mortgage at 3% fixed means paying $4200 a month [0].

The same mortgage at 8% requires monthly payments of more than $7,000 [1].

If the author's figures are accurate, houses have not got more expensive at all. Credit has become more expensive.

And yet those with the power to change this situation choose not to. We have to work in office buildings located in expensive commercial districts with small homes/accomodation and no real community, or spend hours commuting each week if we want to live in the suburbs.

After a few decades we earn enough money to escape and retire to a small town with greater space and more community, but our now adult children are forced to trek back to the big city to earn a living.

The grandchildren get to see granny and grandpa a few times a year, if they're lucky. One of the few developments improving this situation, remote work, is sadly considered a privilege.

With more collusion occurring in rental markets, home owners are able to extract more wealth from those that do not own homes. Unless something changes in supply (of which current owners will not want) then 'get used to not buying homes' is really what's being said.

A housing 'market' just makes no sense.

It's all the downsides of a market, with speculation, supply/demand-strikes, etc, etc, but then it's not actually a 'market' in the sense that new supply cannot be simply conjured to meet demand (land is finite, and of course location, location, location) - so any 'demand market signals' only go to inflate the price, not stimulate production.

Truly, economics is the dismal science, and it's wholesale embrace by govt and society is making our lives dismal too.

The time to relax zoning laws is here, and has been here for decades.

Manhattan is an outlier, but other cities have no reason for being as expensive as they are. Not everyone needs or wants a four bedroom single family home, but in many cities this is all that is available.

On top of that, we need to invest in better public transit and infrastructure outside of the core of our cities, so that more people can live where they work.
But the person you replied to was using the physics definition, and you reply as if he used the astronomical definition.
We can wish whatever we'd like. The logical, real-world value of a house should depreciate over time as the structure gets older and needs more repairs.

The exception, I suppose, is if the overall supply of houses and/or land decreases, but then you lock newcomers out of the market.
It would be nice to live in a world where not everything is so complicated.

You work so hard, finally build up some savings, only to realise the government doesn't want to explicitly tax wealth so they do so covertly by printing extra money.

Not only that, but in order to stimulate the economy they've been forcefully keeping the interest rates as low as possible for over a decade forcing the house prices through the roof.

So if you decided buying a house was too risky because getting a high mortgage would expose you to too much leverage, you missed out on the wealth shift to real estate owners that low interest rate created as a side effect.

Yet even though on paper a lot of the house owners are now more wealthy, they are at risk of losing a lot of money if the interest rates go up more. The house you bought for 800k might be worth a lot less in a few years, or maybe not.

Now I don't know if things would be better without all the monetary games, but they for sure would be simpler.

It's unbelievable how bad at security financial institutions are. At an old job I had to set up our company with the accounts payable system of a customer. They used a system run by US Bank. They told us that we would receive set up instructions by mail, and a week later we got mail. It said "to begin the set up process go to https://bit.ly/..." and I knew I was being phished. Then I stopped to think and how would anybody know to send the set up packet to exactly the right place at the right time? Must be an insider. So I called US Bank, and they confirmed to me that the packet was in fact legit and this was supposed to be a bitly link. JFC.
Defined benefit pension fund managers invest in the same markets everyone else does. And the biggest DB pension, Social Security, already exists, along with the biggest nursing home payor, Medicaid. At the end of the day, it’s just allocating a certain percentage of the country’s labor to older people’s needs.

Question is, what proportion of resources does society want to allocate to the country’s older people? Interest rate policy to support asset price increases is one way the government increases this proportion.

But with declining proportion of working age population, these measures become more and more evident.
