China's house market is also affected by different cultural forces. It is almost impossible to marry without owning a house/condo. This forces a ton of young people to buy property who may otherwise rent. Also you are seeing the b

Fun thought, we have only ever had positive leap seconds so far, due to slowing of the Earth's rotation. However, we could have a negative leap second. The rotation has just been consistently slowing since we started caring. But it cou

I think we will see a reckoning of this in USA in the next few decades. "Classic" houses like colonial or victorian style houses are venerated and preserved, but live on mostly due to survivorship biases. These were the houses of

Japan has a completely different view on housing. Houses in Japan are made with the expectation of being torn down [1]. This causes all sorts of secondary and tertiary effects different from the European model of buildings lasting for centu

I think billions have been spent bridging the gap between “ideal” software and what businesses actually need. Access control is another thing I see developers wanting to simplify or push to implement later, but is actually a key feature.
