Agreed, the level of comfort and social status is more important to them.

I don’t buy this at all. The poorest people have the most kids. Yes if you want an upper middle class kid with daycare, a math tutor and piano lessons, it’s going to be expensive. But the actual cost of having a child is food off your plate

I’m sure the rust version is more ergonomic. It’s great you can do it more safetly. But it’s a bad application design from the start.

No. The point is that these actions at the margin put pressure on prices. People do have an alternative and will not just pay any price. I suspect you're feeling what I described at the end.

> If all the landlords are using collusion The market for housing in a metropolitan area cannot be organized. Everyone is a landlord. If rent spikes to 100k a year, I'm going to throw away shit so I can rent my 2nd bedroom for 50k,

> those are “unavoidable” This myth has been reviewed by economists over and over. You can always economize and it naturally occurs on both the demand and supply side. I'm not saying these outcomes are good, but people WILL do them.

You're exactly right. The alternative to a market is usually corruption. My local university offers housing for grad students. At least 50% is unoccupied at any time because there is no pressure for them to fill units. That would just

What language do you have in mind?

> global mutable state without synchronization is not allowed. That's the java model again. I don't want fearless concurrency, I want intentionally designed threads.

The propaganda compaing would be believing that dealers are conspiring to not give cars that people want to be. Okhams razor is that there is less demand.

Shared objects interacting across threads is a bad idea. Java did it “safely” forever ago, it just throws a lock on everything

Read the original relational database paper by Codd. The problem is that trees of data are not flexible for querying, you really need a graph. If you draw it out on paper, you will find a relation is a very efficient way to store general gr

gcc main.c Of course tinkerers made some tools you can tinker with as time went on, but you don’t have to let those interfere with velocity, just like I will not be using configuration languages.

They turn your IDE into a distributed system with parsing and serializing overhead for every action.
