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 paying off their new more-expensive home within the same timespan, like more income or selling at a profit. But those aren't necessarily givens, as they're determined by things like your locale and the state of the housing market.

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 will be in the same place for 30 years.

All of this isn't even to consider the fact that most homeowners don't literally "own" their home in that timespan, as 30-year mortgages are very common. A lot of people buy homes because mortgage payments are oftentimes cheaper than rent payments (there are exceptions, obviously.)

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 an uptick since 2008, which increases the rate of trading-up, as the hope of selling at a profit is one of the reasons people buy homes to begin with.

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 served via a search engine. I've never purposefully clicked a link from within Stack Exchange, and I've never posted any answers. I can thank those who do for enabling my success in my career, but I'm willing to bet that most Stack Exchange users are just like me.

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 present. I was into eSports as a teenager, but it was very, very niche at the time, as you say. Nowadays, gaming is so commonplace with teens that a streamer like Ninja is able to reach a level of pop stardom.

"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 seriously, where is the interest??"

The answer is "outside your bubble".

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 Impossible burgers, but they are usually the most expensive burger on the menu. Given that this is going to be a dollar more than a standard whopper, it'll cost the same as a double whopper.

With that, the only real incentive to eat the impossible whopper over the standard whopper would be personal motivation to eat less meat. And I'll hazard a guess that most people eating Burger King aren't immediately concerned with cutting down their meat consumption.

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 definitely call it an advertisement. HN has had a lot of these lately.)

Issues with NPS aside, I've had success doing aspect-based sentiment analysis using a summation of TF-IDF and NPS, paired with multinomial naive bayes classification, which is fairly simple and probably doesn't require a 3rd party service. You'll have to find a way to roll up TF-IDF and NPS though, as NPS is a fractional measure - so any given term within a document will have an NPS of -100, 0, or 100. Great for basic "positive", "neutral", or "negative" classification, but not so good for a true NPS score.

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 who wield them (Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan are still cleaning up landmines), and it's just as likely that their diminishing was due to there being less costly ways to kill people.

Inability to enforce is exactly why prohibition has been a colossal failure, so how is the ability to enforce irrelevant to a law's success?

...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 words into a stranger's mouth.

A bug bounty program would demonstrate a lot more sincerity around securing their devices than a one-off reward to a kid given simply because the kid got enough attention in the media.

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 used directly tie to population and don't use debatable correlations.

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 possible. Tiny homes come from a completely different design philosophy, and as result, give a completely different experience than a trailer. They're also more portable than trailers, though the latter's name makes it sound more moveable.

You'd be more correct to say that tiny homes are gentrified RVs.
