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 of factors that can help one finish…
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. Home ownership does not guarantee that you…
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 factor of the sport will be more…
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 a "comprehensive guide" (though I'd…
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 weapons that have a blowback towards those…
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 is imperfect, but all the measures…
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 value. Two markets in the company I work…
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 the other entails a person subversively…
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 sites that check profile pictures for the…
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 that the valuation of homes from '06 -…
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 issuer of the property from a…
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 being conservative with your finances is…
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, when I was making less than $10k/yr, it…
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 common knowledge. There's obviously a…
Just curious - why do you think a centralized system would be superior to a decentralized system? That would allow the norm to be dictated by the central authority, and not through public consensus.
I'm not an advocate of the death penalty, but there's quite of bit of due process between an American citizen and the death penalty. Killing in the absence of due process, as with drone strikes on rogue US citizens, is…
It looks as if it began mid-70s. You can see the red and blue start diverging then, though the line stroke width causes some overlap. The heavy divergence begins in the 80's, as you pointed out. I think confirming your…
"price" is an autocorrection of "precise"
Because infinite numbers are not a natural expression of discrete measurements, and when it comes to being price 1/3 = 4 is always going to be easier to put your finger on than 1/3 = 3.333. I work in software and data…
Ha! I'm happy for your apparent virtuosity, but the whole of America's construction industry is quite a few years into disagreeing with you.
Correct - I've admittedly had a few beers. Which might be obvious due to me debating the merits of the number 12 on the internet.
That doesn't really hurt the argument at all - you're just arguing about factors now, and if you're really going to go there, 12 wins due to having more factors. The mathematical correction you'll have to do to measure…
You're missing the point if you don't see the problem of an infinitely repeating measurement. That doesn't translate to a tangible action. You can't cut 1/3 of a meter, and there's no subunit to roll down to that can…
And what I personally find disturbing is your idea that their view conflicting with yours is somehow an indication that they are obstructing advancement. To me, that seems much more problematic than them favoring the…
Your absolutism is a bit silly. I don't think the Imperial system is good for anything beyond construction or cooking, but there's a reason it excels those areas. And it's exactly because it's more usable by humans in…
