As you said - that's ideal. The home people trade-up to is usually more expensive than the home they move from (not counting empty-nesters) and - ideally - there will be a myriad o…

The remark I was responding to was "can you live in the same property for 30 years". Changing homes is not living in the same property, so I believe I chose the correct metric. Hom…

SOME people renovate their houses SOME of the time. Our biggest market is trade-up buyers, which is usually viewed as the alternative to remodeling. The housing market has been on …

>Can you live in the same property in 30 years? ...can you? Even owning a home doesn't guarantee that you'll be able to live comfortably in one place for 3 decades. Median homeowne…

That's the beauty of serving mostly read-only data - you can just cache the most frequented pages. I can't think of a time that I clicked on a link for Stack Exchange that wasn't s…

Well it's also a sport in it's infancy, not a more-than-a-century-old sport that's literally called "America's Pastime". Maybe when it's older than a couple of decades, the social …

"E-sports is this funny thing where everyone outside of my bubble seems to talk about but I have yet to find one person in my bubble who actually gives a shit about it. Like seriou…

Agreed - As someone who enjoys the taste and the effort being made, Impossible burgers still feel very much like a novelty. There are several restaurants in my area serving Impossi…

This would be better titled "a comprehensive guide to aspect-based sentiment analysis using our service." It only abstractly defines how to do it, so I would definitely not call it…

It is indeed an argument, and the idea that the laws around landmines and chemical weapons are what caused them to occur less is very selective reasoning. Those two cases are weapo…

...Does anybody consider all the existing bug bounty programs "PR stunts"? You seem like you're fishing for a reason to continue disagreeing, and you're most certainly putting word…

I had a feeling it was more complicated than the interviewee made it seem. It almost made me want to get their book, just to see what new model they had in mind. Sure, the UN model…

Having grown up in trailers, I wholly disagree. Every trailer I've lived in is larger than any tiny home that I've seen, as they're striving to be as close to a "normal" house as p…

Difference and equality are not mutually exclusive concepts, because "equality" is based on what you're measuring. A chicken sandwich and a burger are "different" but "equal" in va…

Sensationalism is definitely the right word for this. The article talked more about "white-noise attacks" on NNs than anything else, but I've yet to hear of a white-noise attack th…

I'm not sure if it qualifies as lying when both involved parties are aware of it. Escapism isn't the same as deception, as one entails a person willfully relinquishing reality and …

Except when upload a fake image as your profile picture. Facial detection algorithms are some of the most refined ML algorithms today. There are already plenty of social media site…

I don't believe that copyright destroys culture, but I definitely believe that it limits it. Increased copyright policing in Japan could have an effect on a lot of dōjin circles, w…

I'm curious what pattern you're trying to illustrate with the '06-'08 home values compared to now, and why 10 years ago is something you consider "normal". The market crash showed …

I'm not criticizing the existence of deposits, but increasing the size of deposits for high-risk customers is without a doubt a cash-grab on the poor. Deposits exist to protect the…

To elaborate on your point a little further, because I think a lot of people truly don't understand this: having no credit is worse than having bad credit, so the argument that bei…

I agree - so long as financial credit comes with perks, people are going to be apologists for its flaws. Now that I work in software, keeping good credit is a non-issue. However, w…

I'm a bit surprised that people in this thread don't seem to understand the parallels between social and economic status. It's not some grand revelation either - it's pretty much c…
