I don’t really understand how there can exist any debt that can’t be bankrupted, apart from federal treasuries. It may produce some desired affect in the short term, but in time creates a massive liability for everyone, not just those who t

Which is and always has been a downright awful and dangerous feature. Going up a steep hill? Put the pedal to the metal so we can fly past other cars at 65 MPH.

We have net metering here, so the grid is basically my battery. It would be more worthwhile if I could charge from the grid but I’m way overproducing as is.

When have we not been on the verge of a “mass species extinction” event on our blue dot? Also, I believe it was a mass extinction that allowed us homo erectus to thrive.

This is a cool use of emacs, but containers have made the process of iterative development/system creation so much easier. If you have the deployment story down, it’s even easier. And the configs are much more portable.

The numbers that don’t lie are in smart phone profits. If you have a reasonable amount of loyalty, you will also be able to charge a premium. Yet only Apple and maybe Google’s pixel are in that arena. Money talks!

Why would you move to a bigger house at 55 or move at all? And you can only transfer the basis if you downsize or stay the same, which has net zero impact on inventory. Prop13 keeps people in starter homes for much longer.

The problem we’re describing is that their property taxes would increase sinificanty, thousands of dollars a month.

Yes that is correct. They also can’t build their home out and increase the square footage to better accommodate their families without triggering a tax appraisal. In a word their stuck, which helps explain again why there’s very little mobi

I was sure the market was going to crash when we bought our home, but external and internal forces made us stop waiting and make the leap. At this point a large correction in the market wouldn’t even put us below our purchase price.

At any reasonable scale you typically wouldn’t use plain DNS if you have to do that kind of figuration. It would be done with a service discovery service which handles SRV records. That being said route53 has a reasonable management API.

I hope someday to have created an app where the mere existence of a reproducible 500 lands you on the front page of hacker news. That’s an app that’s demonstrably reliable and useful.

Nice to see your income rise so much just before you die and a lawyer gives it all away. Alas “the old have the means but no mobility, and the young have the mobility but no means”

That’s probably why Arizona is the test bed right now. Predictable weather patterns, long stretches of flat, open roads, low traffic, and legislative openness. optimizing 80/20
