Original windows are likely the biggest offender. You could just replace the largest windows if budget is a concern or place plastic over the inside portion to create an “insulative” air barrier between the plastic sheet and the window. The

Most people have commute times within that span. For me and I believe most people, the supposed benefits of the office are far outweighed by the advantages of avoiding a commute and having a quiet place to get work done. Granted that onboar

That’ll change when there are more homes priced sub $150k and lenders are desperate for borrowers due to a slowdown in mortgage applications. Also, being able to buy a house you cannot afford may go away as well if lending parameters become

And these types are the ones that interrupt me to ask obvious questions that can be figured out with a little research on their own or catch me in the hall for a “quick” chat about trivial matters or gossip that lasts for 20-30 minutes seve

You are willing to give up 1-2 hours of your personal time a workday (avoided commuting time) to gain the supposed efficiencies of working in an office? I find it hard to believe many people are willing to make that sacrifice anymore when t

Refinancing is not free. There are still costs for any loan like appraisal, possibly an inspection, and recording fees, but some lenders will roll those costs into the loan or offer higher interest rates to offset their costs. Nonetheless,

High range housing will likely be the hardest hit. I would expect low to mid price housing to be a bit more resilient due to buyers and lenders being more conservative.

Personally I find active voice to be more repetitive as it tends toward a similar sentence structure of subject-verb and can also imply certainty in situations that are more nuanced. However, active voice and simple sentence structure shoul

True. Given how Google’s Android platform provides numerous ways to accomplish the same task and deprecates APIs on a bi-yearly basis, the documentation provides little guidance on whether what you are currently reading is deprecated and wh

Well said. Another reason that management doesn’t care is that the main cost to employees, time (especially commuting), is not born by them.

Why not just skip the article and definitely not comment on it? Hypocrisy displayed by a any major figure should be called out for accountability reasons at the least. While it is true that this discussion has been hashed out many times, it

“It’s [a credit card] a way to pay for things that’s a loan, but it doesn’t have to be a loan if you pay it back on time but it can be a loan if you need money in an emergency.” This seems overly pedantic. It’s still a loan regardless of wh

So, do we blindly ignore common sense and instinct, handing it over to supposed experts that have been wrong repeatedly about very fundamental concepts like diet and education? So many accepted practices promoted by experts have been and ar

“… because driving will be more inconvenient than walking” Not sure about this. For example, look at the school bus stops and the stacks of cars waiting for children only to drive 300 feet back to their house. Weather is another factor that

Your sentence lacks much substance other than an extreme leap of judgement based on a commonly used phrase. Seems like “fakery” to me. Using a hospital or school as a base to launch attacks may not be a war crime, but … “If there is any dou

If a country is at the point of sacrificing its own civilians as shields to protect their soldiers, they should consider that they have already lost the battle and should consider negotiations and/or surrender.

You are right that this arrogant attitude is juvenile, but it is prevalent amongst humans in all areas. Unfortunately, there would be few developers to work with if you apply the policy of not working with arrogant, dogmatic developers.

I guess the official expects Amnesty International to look the other way when Ukraine violates a war crime. It sucks when your dirty laundry is out for display.

Possibly. However, Ukraine has accused Russia of illegally targeting civilians in hospitals when it looks now like the hospitals may have been targeted by Russia in response to attacks by Ukrainian troops holed up in a hospital, school, or

Perhaps this is due to Walmart and Amazon killing small merchants? Would be interesting to know what sectors of small businesses were affected the most or if it was systemic across all sectors.

Agree on the healthcare solution. Disagree on the popular opinion on HN that housing is a shortage issue due to zoning rules. Perhaps this is the case in pockets of certain cities like SF, but this is not a problem in the majority of areas.

If the culture consists of people with a short-sighted mentality such as this, is it a culture worth living amongst? Do you really think that art only exists in the biggest cities like SF, NYC, and LA? Where do you think most of those artis

Is this also true of better constructed housing say in high rises which would likely be built to last longer due to the heights of the building requiring concrete and steel?

Densely populated areas in the US are also loaded with apartments. However, there is a vast amount of land in the US, so 99% of it is sparsely populated. European homes are built to a higher standard than US homes and many are built from co
