People without both debt and assets are paying in the sense that their ability to purchase assets (such as a home) in the future is being diminished.

My clients love Wagtail. The 'streamfields' feature makes it really easy to offer editors plenty of flexibility without offering them the opportunity to butcher the site. The development experience means I love it too. I never did

'Talking to yourself' makes it sound mad. I prefer 'vocalizing'. I find it's helpful when trying to objectively consider your own thoughts.

I don’t believe that there is a shortage of homes. The demand we are seeing is driven by investment. There are many more empty and low-use properties out there than most would suspect. Hear me out. Reported vacancy rates (the ones you’ll he

Talking residential here (but probably a very rough proxy for commercial): In Wellington NZ, a 3 bed house is almost NZD700k on average, having risen almost 15% in the past year. That property might earn a bit less than NZD3k/m. Capita

'Yes Minister'. There is also a follow up series called 'Yes Prime Minister'. Very funny stuff - especially if you have any insight into the public service bureaucracy.

I reckon small cars pose less risk to others. Pedestrians and cyclists can easily see over them. Stopping distances are probably better. Ending up on the hood/bonnet of a small vehicle rather than under a large one with it's very

> And on that note what's with all the commies on HN?! I very much value the good faith exhibited on this forum. This comment is the antithesis of that. It is nothing more than bigotry.

The number of comments on that article along the lines of "this happened to me / my family member" is illuminating. I think as individuals we don't have a good understanding of just how harmful motor vehicles are. This i

I would disagree that the time cost of using a private vehicle is not huge. The average annual cost of owning and operating a private vehicle is about $8,500[1]. The median personal income in the US is about $31,000[2]. Clearly, for a large

I think the idea that this practice signals cheapness is more theoretical than anything. Does a car priced at $54,990 signal cheapness? Certainly not for me. The practice is just too ubiquitous at this point.
