It's tough because people don't exactly look for new houses every single day so coming up in their brain as the app/site of choice when they do need a new house/apt is difficult. I would hate to do a "better apartment finder" startup in this space (airbnb excluded).

I think craigslist grew pretty slowly over the course of a decade, right? Not sure there's a recipe for overtaking them quickly that doesn't involve using their data/userbase in one form or another.
Tldr: no, but if we redefine "live in London" as "live in Zone 1, take family of four skiing in France four times a year, send kids to private school from age 3, always eat at Michelin starred restaurants, own multiples of everything Apple ever releases, any other stupid consumerism you can think of" then yes.

An HOA for my single family house. Or at least a reserve study.

I have owned a single family house in the states for five years. Just put a new roof on. Big expense. Used to live in a condo where a reserve study had been done, and every month a portion of the dues were allocated to large upcoming expenses. They recently replaced the roof of a 100 unit building and paid for it out of reserves (no assessment).

Would dearly love to have someone come in and do a reserve study of my house, give me a figure for how much I should be saving every month. Possible add ons include property management services (lawn care, etc).
Aww, no Haskell category. Please add one? :)
Well, maybe we don't need a Navy's Army's Airforce. More importanly, VTOL is a just plain dumb idea and should not be used at all for a jet fighter.
One kills the other with a missile. Countermeasures turn the marginals into misses, they don't turn off a solid kill shot; likewise stealth is better thought of as reducing the effective range and SNR of enemy radar, not making you invisible.
Because stealth and sensors still play a huge role in your effective distance of engagement, don't they?
I would say 50K is required to live well in London and 20K as a minimum salary. 500K as a minimum is ridiculous.
"It kind of sucks, but what would actually be a better system? That people get assigned places to live by lottery, so if you happen to live in a cool place on the cheap, you were simply lucky? It sounds good on the surface because you only have the people living there in your mind. You forget about all the other people who never get a chance of living there. Why is it fair if some randomly selected people get to live in nice places and others don't?"

We actually have had something not completely dissimilar to this since the 1980s. Anyone who lives in state housing for at least a minimum period of time is able to buy that home at a subsidized price. As local authorities are banned from using this money to build more state housing, this leads to long term shortages in state housing which is one of the causes of the problems we are facing now. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_Buy)

Nobody is expecting to get a cheap home in Kensington or the equivalent super-expensive part of whatever city you are from. But it is not just the "cool", "nice" places that are becoming unaffordable. And the problem is that people are not paying to live in these homes. People are paying to use them as big, shiny piggy banks in the sky that happen to offer a better rate of return than other investments. Poor people who actually live in London and use London businesses generally contribute more to London's culture than rich people who don't.

Digital games do have their advantages, but that's going a bit too far.

Is it possible for someone can't programming to create a digital game? Could they implement "house rules" on an existing game? In games that have trading, how about non-standard trading? (Eg I've played Settlers with futures) How about granting a younger player an advantage to compensate (eg, give them an extra $1000 to start)?

How immune to cheating is Vassal? If the digital copy runs on Windows, a bunch of my friends already have a copy of ollydbg installed. Is there also a feasible to detect if there's a Excel spreadsheet or Google Doc open that tallying all thes cards used and other information about the game state, and spitting out the odds that my next card is going to be the one I'm looking for?

Meanwhile, playing a game locally means playing with others humans with similarly limited memory and processing power, which means my naive gameplay, which doesn't have the odds of every possible combination of cards memorized, isn't a game of Humans vs. Cylons. (Not that I understand the attraction to online poker either.) Is there any guarantee that the person on the other end isn't grepping /usr/share/dict/words in our digital Boggle game?

Teaching people how to play ("customized live interactive tutorial") is far better with a (patient) real person rather than a recorded tutorial, especially when the game hasn't been translated.

Are you going to be able to dig up a digital copy in 30 years and play that on the latest computer?

Can you give your digital copy to a friend?

How many copies of the game do you need to buy for everyone to play? Most online games require each person to buy their own copy, but aside from Magic and other CCG, the box and some friends is all you need.

That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure you can come up with other advantages that physical copies of the game have.
Um, this doesn't prove reality doesn't exist until it is measured. It just proves that measuring and "decision" which state to appear in happens simultaneously.

It could mean that time on quantum scale doesn't differentiate past/future.
I came here to say the same thing - this behaviour is readily explained by a pilot wave formulation of QM, and requires no spookiness. Increasing number of physicists are re-evaluating Bohm and De Broglie's work - I for one think we've been down a 60 year dead-end, which has yielded models, but no plausible mechanism.
There's really nothing wrong with what they're doing. Open source absolutely doesn't mean it has to be available before a product is "finished". Sure it's not a community built product, but that's not what open source necessarily is, as pixeloution mentions above.

Well, if you want to prove the simulation argument, all you have to do is simulate a reality for an individual at any time-dilation you like. With the parallel compute capabilities we are increasingly growing, simulating a small section of the universe at a large time-dilation should be within our grasp sooner than we think.

For what I'm concerned this is water down the bridge. The many years of excessive roaming fees have conditioned me to either switch of data altogether - relying on wifi instead - or use a local SIM when going abroad. As this still is a lot more affordable and I still fail to see the grounds for any extra fees when using a network owned by the same company which happens to lie on the other side of an arbitrary border I don't see any reason to change my habits.
That's only the cost until it goes away entirely in 2017, and it's still an improvement on what's being charged at the moment.
You can and you should blame entire nations for their cultural differences. It's obvious they're responsible -and must be held accountable- for how they behave. This is elementary.

Most of concepts we are conditioned to take for granted does not exist outside our head.)

The essence of scientific method is not in piling up concepts or in building up a support for a fancy theory. On the contrary, it is in exactly opposite - it is to refute and remove everything "mental" to see what remains, something which cannot be shaken by mere speculations or dismissed by any experience. That, perhaps, has something to do with what we call Truth.

According to the ancients, who practiced this method, there is nothing but different forms of light.

The question "what is between two Photons" makes no sense, because two Photons have nothing in common exept an imagination of an observer. Tracing them back "in time" makes no sense either, because time as a category is irrelevant to the light. It doesn't change.

I have done the same tour, but did not get medical insurance from the government, no I got a waiver that after entering the 30 km exclusion zone if something goes wrong only I am to blame.

The tour is quite worth it, but it still is very much disaster tourism, and the educational value is very much 'oh ah wow', and has little to do with really understanding anything of the situation. The only thing it really taught me, and I find that a valuable lesson is that actually trying to comprehend what has happened and why is not easily done. For example, the official death toll is something like 30 for the Chernobyl disaster itself, but it is impossible to actually calculate all the deaths that are a result of the disaster on the long term.

The same thing goes for what is happening with the metal that has been scrapped from the sight (shitloads of cars/vehicles have been removed in the past years that have been used to 'clean' the sight). The tour guide said that the cars are sent to china to become recycled metal.

Not sure if its true, but it made me understand that for a lot of things when it comes to Chernobyl there is not one definite answer.

I doubt the music was played by the device, most probably it was dubbed in post processing.
My guess is that they started with buyers because buyers typically are less wedded to an agent. Most agents start out on the buy side because significant numbers of buyers have no loyalties, and because buyers "pay nothing" for the services of an agent (as opposed to the sellers, who pay 5-6%), so customer acquisition is easier. (Of course, buyers do end up paying, it is just wrapped into a 30 year monthly payment.)

Oh, I fully agree with that - in fact, in certain other European countries it is more like 0.10%, but that's not the point.

The point is - I don't understand all the whining going on here.

One problem I see with nuclear power is that it goes the very inefficient way over heat.
The prices in the building industry are rising so much that it already is unprofitable to build nuclear power in the west today. (When Hinkley Point C will start producing energy it will have a higher feed in tariff than photovoltaics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinkley_Point_C_nuclear_power_...)

I don't see any future for nuclear if it doesn't fundamentally change the way it harvests the energy and when it solves the nuclear waste problem economically

I should also chime in and say that even for people living in London and sending their children to private schools these estimates are very high. I was luck enough to go to Eton and honestly, for most parents it was a question of affording the fees by:
a) not spending that kind of money on other activities; b) lifelong saving; c) selling substantial assets (like second houses etc...); and d) inherited wealth and/or generous grandparents.

It was fairly uncommon for student's fees to be paid out of parents' salaries. I would guess (very anecdotal!) that £500k is well above the median annual salary for those parents.

Also - apparently this person hires babysitters for >350 nights a year .... o.0
The article is also making an assumption that people on £500k a year are using the NHS. Unless you're Mrs Miliband private health insurance is almost certainly going to be part of your employment package, because if you're earning that much then the productivity hit of waiting for NHS treatment is likely to be more than the cost of private health coverage.

This is another reason why I love living in Edinburgh, the salary difference is far smaller than the "nice life" cost of living difference.
