It's not forgiven, even in a non-recourse mortgage. So it can still e.g. hurt your credit score. They just legally can't pursue you for it. With a recourse mortgage, they can go through normal debt channels (including wage garni

I think it matters a lot more for commercial mortgages. In any event, it's like 20-30bps or less according to the Fed. So higher, but not that much higher even for commercial mortgages, and even less for residential where there'

Generally with a buffer overrun, you're trying to put executable code in, and get it to a spot where it'll be run, allowing you to do further stuff. Here is a canonical old article on one type of buffer overflow: http:/&#x2F

Yea I think that's it Though I don't know the exact details on that w.r.t. controlled burns, because parts of the federal government are definitely very on board with controlled burns (like say the US Forest Service). I dunno wha

It is worth mentioning that many states do significant amounts of controlled burns as a routine thing. Growing up in the Midwest, it was just a common thing, nothing out of the ordinary. I think in the southeast, it's even more commo

I did HS sprinting as cross training for fencing. Fencing is extremely asymmetric, to the point where my right (front) leg could lift twice the weight of my back (left) leg. It was freakish, and probably not healthy lol. It made my sprin

Yup this is a very old strategy. Years back when I was helping mod a very large (10/15m+) sub, the head mod was running a pipeline in the background to help detect this exact thing.

The percentage of ownership is relevant, as is where the profit goes.

I agree, baking is way more difficult. It's like a longer feedback loop. A lot of cooking is like a really tight repl - maybe even with unit tests (tasting midway through). You can see results and modify on the fly. Baking is like h

Money buys happiness, up to a point. It's like a pretty linear increase in happiness to some spot somewhere above median income (I forget, something like 1.5x median income). After that, it has very little impact on happiness, if at

I've had tinnitus for decades, and my hearing always checked out fine. Idk what the cause was, maybe too much loud band music. I figure if it's not bad enough to affect my hearing on an audiologist's test, it's fine.

The US gets more and less dangerous over time, it varies. It's presently a little bit more dangerous than the early 60s, but way less dangerous than the 70s-90s.

You don't have to have home insurance by law, at least not in the US If you don't own your house outright, the bank that owns part of it may require insurance as a prerequisite for loaning you money.
