Just to clarify: that isn't 7% per year. That's 7% per decade . To make it clearer what I'm saying, my parents bought their house in South Carolina in June of 2009 for about $130,000. Last month it went at just north of $195

Disclaimer: I live in Seattle. Since I was curious about the numbers, I went back and looked it up. Since June of 2009 (ie, the same time period) median housing price in Seattle has gone from $365,000 to $655,000. Numerically that's hu

As it turns out, extrapolating the experiences of a geographically small and economically unique metro area to the entire US is not a sound start. Regulation may very well be to blame in San Francisco, but South Carolina is about as far fro

So, are you blaming regulation for the crash, the recovery, or the inflation? The claim I'm disputing is that regulation is to blame for recent housing price increases.

by debatem1 7y ago
Three points: 1/ inflation over ten years is roughly 19%. So 50% is not "slightly ahead" by any means. 2/ Residential construction cost per square foot seems like a stronger candidate, with a roughly 35% jump nationwide

Somehow you seem to think this proves OP's point that regulation is to blame.

Which regulations would you suggest caused my parents' rural South Carolina home to gain 50% in value over the last ten years? There's plenty of land, all of it zoned for agriculture or residential.

I can discuss here or there-- being blunt, I probably won't say anything over email I wouldn't say here. Up to you if you'd prefer to take it private.

In the past I've used lines of credit up to roughly $50k. They didn't require a lot to get started and I think we peaked at about 50% utilization. Happy to answer questions.

I can't speak to the origin of the word, because I simply don't know. If you're right about that and the parent was wrong, why not put the facts out there? To put it another way, regardless of whether you agree with their log

Note the difference between what the first poster said and how the second has taken it. The first poster talked about the origin of the word on the far right. The reply then exaggerated that claim into the strawman that everyone who disag

My initial reaction was to make a joke about this, but the math is on point. At the speed of light latency to/from the satellite (3.5ms) and a vehicle speed of 60mph, that's about 4 inches of vehicle travel. Sounds pretty great--

It can be legally prevented, although the enforcement mechanisms are murky. To the best of my knowledge they've never made a public claim either way.

Yeah, it isn't literally impossible to build-- but the fact that it's enough of a pain to do so that they distribute a docker image should sort of tell the story :). Unfortunately, for IT policy reasons we couldn't use that,

This is an interesting idea for concolic execution. I assume it's been done before, but a quick search doesn't turn it up. Maybe it's just assumed?

Welllll I did run Gentoo some years ago, so... not that baseless :). But you really don't have to work hard to get a quite nice (but not world-beating) car for $20k.
347.
by debatem1 7y ago
Ok. Your claim was a few hundred thousand dollar difference; I suppose we could quibble about what constitutes a nice car, but >$100,000 buys you a Z-06 or a Jaguar XJ. It's quite the exaggeration, unless your tastes run very extrem

I mean, I guess I'm not sure where to go with this. You won't put down better than 4s to 60 daily driving any more than you would put down 200mph in the same circumstances, because you'll have a V10 roaring at you the whole t

Not to mention the fact that the carrier can perform these attacks quite easily, as can the governments who have historically found ISPs willing partners. If you have any reason to believe that you might be the subject of a targeted attack,

A Mercedes SL55 AMG sans limiter will hit 200mph at roughly 500HP, and it's pretty easy to pick one of the 2007s with the fixed top for around $20k. If you go down to the 2003s you have plenty of options going down into the $15k range

I've used Klee and Triton in industrial settings, but had to abandon Klee due to the many headaches of packaging and distributing it.

Pardon? I'm not clear on why I'm being downvoted, and I don't use arch, and I don't see why that would be relevant.

by debatem1 7y ago
Not remotely. You can buy a truly fast car-- 200mph fast-- for under $20,000 pretty easily. If you're willing to wrench on it you can get sub-4 seconds to 60 for under $15,000. That kind of performance would have been supercar territor

The quote about the stdlib being "where packages go to die" was, for a long time, considered a feature and not a bug. The theory was that once a package is in the stdlib its development should slow to prioritize stability over new

Note that OP was specifically referencing America. If there is anywhere in the US where leaving toilet paper in the trash can is the cultural norm I haven't been there, and I've lived with septic tanks for probably half my life.

One of my favorite uses of bloom filters was a proposal for source routed multicast some years ago. To work, it simply had the packet originator add all the next-hop addresses to a bloom filter, which was then the address of the packet. Eac

Anything that forces adversaries to have novel (let alone sci-fi) technology instead of a warrant is a huge win. Let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

There are really good reasons to be suspicious of short block length ciphers, but there's nothing in this paper besides a dire warning and hint of future results. Contrary the authors' plea at the end, I think this proves exactly
