I think you are assuming special ed kids are academically slower and I have to push back on that. Special Ed encompasses students of all types. Some are mentally handicap, some have physical disabilities. One of my friends was wheelchair bo

Jumbo loans are inherently risky due to their size. Fannie Mae doesn't support them and only in very limited cases; homes in LA, SF, NYC. Since the banks can't use those federal services (Fannie Mae) they have to carry that risk.

If I understand the article correctly these mortgage lenders are financing sub-prime and non-conformal loans. Basically the loans so risky Fannie Mae don't want them. This also includes jumbo loans, the are non-conforming. If you have

It's so strange to see how racism and discrimination is carried out in other countries. Even more so when that country is a highly developed like Singapore. Being from the US where housing is highly protected, due mostly to decades of

Miami Beach is making a valiant attempt. That city has been working on massive climate change projects for some time. We’ll see if it pays off. Miami is a basket case. The city commission held a vote to remove mangroves from the park becaus

I live here. Miami is not building a lot of flood control infrastructure. Just a few diesel water pumps in tonier parts of town to keep the king tides at bay. The lifted truck/SUV is almost a requirement in the long term. After watchin

This mostly tracks with my experience. We have a PS4 and XB1. Except for a few exclusive titles (ie Cuphead) the XB1 just sat on our shelf collecting dust. The experience between the 2 just didn't seem compelling enough to play on the

You can do a lot of things on your own and you may even be successful at it but there are so many roadblocks intentionally put in your way. If you don't have the expertise to file an application paying someone else to counsel may be pr

Its kind of expensive. About $30-50k for the entire process. For a big company with deep pockets and IP lawyers already on retainer that price is just the cost of doing business and an investment of beating the competition. If your an indiv

The sales price can change at each store location. It would be even easier to put the full price on the item in the aisle. Stores now know their inventory and track it by the minute.

Lenders have always been able to loosen their standards. A non-conforming conventional mortgage gets bought and sold on the private market rather than Fannie Mae. But they are also slightly higher interest because they are riskier. > If

Good! If you bought your home as shelter nothing has changed for you. If you bought homes as an investment, pricing out families, turning entire neighborhoods into Airbnbs, and destroying their culture you have my sympathies /S.

Most events in Miami Tech are posted on Eventbrite, theGoogleSheet, and Twitter. There are quite a few Whatsapp and Telegram groups that are self-organized. And then there are Slack and Discord groups. I made a lot of new friends during the

My city had more dog parks than kid parks. As the lone parent raising a kid in the city when I can make it to the city planning meetings I’m usually drowned out by the dog park “lobby”. Living in the city is great; access to museums, art, c

Lex Fridman's interviews are the only reason I'd put up with a longer commute. They are super dense and super long. Like listening to an audiobook every few days. The Tony Fadell interview was also interesting. A great review on t
