Equity isn't relevant to the argument, that's why. The argument is simply that by living in a house yourself, you are effectively paying rent on that property at the same rate that the house could be rented out if you were not liv

I don't think that's really the concern. The concern is that most developed economies are essentially a ponzi scheme where the workers are taxed to support the children, those on benefits and the older members of society. People w

I don't think it's sarcasm, just poorly explained. Owning a house serves two distinct purposes - as a home or as an investment. Despite what a lot of people think, it can't be both at once. As an investment, you forego some u

I was hoping for a systematic and consistent reviews of many dozens of kebab shops in a certain metropolitan area. Just basing any kind of research of reviews on the web is fundamentally flawed as only a tiny fraction of customers would eve

Sinclair (of ZX Spectrum fame) made a variety of wacky devices over the years, including the crazy C5 electric bike [0]. They also dabbled with handheld TVs. The one I knew about was the TV80 [1] which came out in 1983 when I was a small ki

One little known feature of linux is that there are ANSI sequences you can send to the console that turn off and off the PC buzzer and alter the frequency. One innocent use I used for this once was when I set up an on-demand modem system us

There was an encoding, in fact a very specific coding, designed to overcome the limitations of tape as a media, the biasing circuitry in tape heads and wiring polarity problems. Granted, it was quite a simple encoding, but it wasn't ju
