   The idea of authenticating is the presentation of your id, something only you know (a password), and potentially something only you have (2fac). Passwords have a significant number of problems, the largest one is password re-use, so if your

   So if we assume you are correct, if we looked at an adjusted cost of housing graph (adjusted for inflation/population), its slope would change primarily when building code regulation goes into effect?

   Yes, I am a bit embarrassed by how inflammatory that appears to be. I am actually a bit happy that the HN algorithm devalued the post fairly significantly.

   I should be happy that you have automated a process that I manually perform frequently, but instead it gives me anxiety. The set of incentives means the more successful you are, the more you will directly be attacked in the form of bad fait

    As philosophical questions I think it's important to answer: 1. What is the optimal rate of property value growth and why? 2. What is the optimal cost of housing (a multiple of yearly income?) and why? 3. Are people who own property in

    I personally don't think happiness is very different from motivation. Happiness is the state of being motivated. Unhappiness is the state of having no motivation. The 3 key ingredients to motivation are: autonomy, mastery, and purpose.
