More than that, "expensive" new housing is typically half the price of the single family homes next to it. It's just marketed as "luxury" because everything is. Typically the people protesting "luxury" hou

The further you zoom out, the more tree-like it gets, but if you zoom in on any particular node in the tree, like hominids, then it becomes a tangled mess.

Thanks for the clarification. If it's a definition that applies to literally every physical good in a market economy, then it doesn't have much explanatory power to explain why some things are cheap and abundant, and why some thin

It isn't the price of housing that's the root problem, it's the arithmetic. There aren't enough homes in places people want to live for the people who want to live there. The price decides who gets them, but arithmetic c

> You are absolutely correct that the root cause of the housing crisis is capitalism and the commodification of housing. Every other commodity in my life, food for instance, is dirt cheap and getting cheaper all the time. Housing is ex

> Making the reviews transparent wouldn't have mattered because in the end the paper was published. Maybe one of the reviewers raised the issues but it was published anyway, so published reviews would tip a reader off? But at that

It seems like the peer review process is more likely to establish importance than correctness.

I started worrying at one point that all the techniques I learned when I started my career for working with big data were becoming obsolete, but they aren't. What you needed to do before to make things possible is now needed to make i

The datasets grow to meet the computing available to them. The things gathering the data themselves become more powerful, and so more of that data makes it downstream. I'd define "massive" data as anything where n^2 is too bi

Can you elaborate on that or provide a link? The OP made it seem like it was strictly more general, and I was getting excited to dive in through that route.

I would love a more detailed description of what the solution actually was. Ideally with some math.

I don't think re executing by default would be beneficial. I just don't want state present in the interpreter that isn't in any live cell, and I only want time to flow one direction. Other than that, I think the other ergonom

I want a notebook where causality can only flow forward through the cells. I hate notebook time-loops where a variable from a deleted cell can still be in scope. 1. Checkpoint the interpreter state after every cell execution. 2. If I edit a

32 is plenty to represent the numbers we care about, but you'll find you probably want 64 to do math with those numbers. 64 has always been enough for me to never have to care about the precision, but whenever I've used 32 to save

I don't know where you're from, but the law nearly every city in the US limits how many housing units can be built in every tract of land, so the simple arithmetic forces long commutes.
