In addition to the other comments, buyers aren't generally deciding between a 1/2 ton pickup and mid-size sedan anyway, or a luxury car and a small compact sedan. And I agree it really varies where you live and other variables, bu

This article resonates with me. The city where I work built a road that makes my commute 20% shorter, and they made this road very bike-able. As soon as I could I rode my bike to work, then covid came shortly after and I started working fro

I'd argue even if absolutely all housing went up 5% in value, everyone is still at least a little richer (albeit not effectively 5% richer and mostly on paper still). Most people buy a house with a down payment. A conventional down pay

I believe it's true for some sets more than others. In my experience any sets with Disney on them or sets based on partnerships with other brands are the worst for this however.

These are very loosely held convictions... - COVID will still be here but be thought of a little more like the flu. - There will be some devastating natural disasters that induce more people into taking climate change seriously. - AI will s

Not sure how prominent this is, but if a business buys some online ads then their competitors have an incentive to see those ads rendered useless by quickly depleting their budget on bogus clicks.

I'm not really optimistic for Tuvalu, I'm guessing their culture may out last any legal standing. But I've learned in history the idea of the modern state with its political borders and such is kind of a novelty. For some peo

I was expecting to see the area of the universe / Planck units or something to that effect. When trying to wrap my mind around it, I feel like simulation implies a sequence of events like a movie, but to an outside observer the univers

This is exactly Japan's lost decade - lots of government debt and only deflation - mainly in the 90s. I think the difference is Japan is a a country with all its needs met. People already had enough money to spend on basic needs (unlik

I imagine that's more of an issue now than during the Great Depression. Back then you could easily put that money into large pools of labor, whether assembly lines at factories or agriculture or infrastructure projects and gave a prett

They aren't mutually exclusive ideas. From the way Shatner talked - if you want people to stop ruining our current basket just send them to space so they can have a profound experience and realize how fragile the planet is.

I was thinking along the same lines but with mobile phone usage in cars in particular. It's the fastest growing contribution to car related fatalities in the last decade and as a result laws have been passed for exactly that, in additi

Was curious about this, and from some quick Googling the US isn't much of a contender for lawsuits per capita, but a lot more of our GDP goes to law firms and litigation than any other country and we have one of the highest lawyers per

Have you tried installing WSL2 and using a shell through that? Granted if Bash won't run on a machine reliably, WSL2 may not do much better on the same machine.

If I recall correctly, some US embassies that have been built in turbulent areas are more accurately described as military bases that just happen to host an embassy. They're heavily fortified and don't resemble what we'd typi

Then you might just find a trustee's name in its place rather than the person that actually paid for the property. At least with LLCs you can usually lookup the owners of the LLC.

I don't think Dollar General is the bad guy so much as a symptom of a problem. As it is, they're often in low income areas and have a high markup. Grocery stores have low margins that prevent them from entering these markets (henc

Thought it's worth mentioning - they also recently spent $95 million to move their headquarters to a better location. In general they seem like an ambitious company, and one to be optimistic about.

From my understanding it's mainly because the shared border between Israel and Syria is mostly rugged terrain - easy to defend but hard to attack - known as the Golan Heights. For any land invasion on either side it's a lot easier

After reading the post this is the same impression I get. His views don't seem that different from someone like Noam Chomsky, just not articulated as well.

In the monetary sense the the farm productivity may equate into growing more of something you can later on sell. In the case of the house, it equates to gaining an asset (or at least equity in an asset) that you can later on sell, also. But
