Plus interest makes no sense and is unnessary. Adjusting for inflation is so the person can buy the same movie at today's prices. At that point, the person is made more than whole already because they got to see the movie for free and they can chose to get it again.

Technicians are constantly behind in work. Many data centers are pulling 24/7/365 shifts to keep up with demand. Larger data centers have hundreds of full time employees.

Yes many servers are left in fail over states for long periods of time, but that can only be done because new capacity is actively being deployed to make up for that fail over. Modern data centers are far too big for a single person to be repairing things every once in a while. Stuff is breaking every hour of every day

Data centers require lots of technicians to install, maintain, and decommission servers. Who do you think installs those video cards?

So just double your cloud bill for several few weeks, costing site like GitHub millions of dollars?

How do you handle duplicate requests to external services? Are you going to run credit cards twice? Send emails twice? If not, how do you know it's working with fidelity?

Because it's significantly harder to isolate problems and you'll end up in this loop

* Deploy everything * It explodes * Rollback everything * Spend two weeks finding problem in one system and then fix it * Deploy everything * It explodes * Rollback everything * Spend two weeks finding a new problem that was created while you were fixing the last problem * Repeat ad nauseum

Migrating iteratively gives you a foundation to build upon with each component

At least in the short term, I think the economics will prevent stores from using this for marketing data. Operating these drones has to very, very expensive and I don't think knowing about your driving habits for a few miles is worth the cost.

The only reason these things could be economical in the short term is because theft costs retail companies an insanely high amount of money.

However, this might change if these drones become cheaper to operate and purchase.

I would think there's some crime that would prevent people from using these to the extremes. I am almost certain it's illegal to put an air tag on someone to track their whereabouts and I would also think those laws would apply here.

> Forget comparing old builds to new builds

Why? It's extremely relevant.

> In the 80s you could get a 15-20 year mortgage at 20%

20% was the rate for 30 year mortgage in the 1980s. My source is specifically for 30 year mortgages.

> If your monthly payment today is less than it would be at 20%, it is only because you are expected to be paying for it at least an extra 10 years compared to the past

That's a gross overgeneralization. Interest rates are lower across the board today.

> If your monthly payment today is less than it would be at 20%, it is only because you are expected to be paying for it at least an extra 10 years compared to the past

I never said they weren't but you also haven't provided any evidence that arent.

> And that's before even thinking about how salaries haven't grown anywhere near as quickly as real estate prices

You're literally just repeating your original claim with no new evidence.

Correct but theyre saying the headlines are wrong because the statistic that they use is not accounting for people that are reluctantly part time, but they're not mentioning that there is a statistic that does track that and that statistic also reports that unemployment is low.

It is a lie by omission.

This interview was about how the data and our feelings about the economy don't match. The crux of their argument is that we're looking at the wrong data and the right data shows the true state of the economy, but the true data exists and doesn't align with our feelings either.

What is the value in listening to an educational podcast if I cannot be certain that the material is factual?

I'm not, alcohol kills 200,000 Americans every year.

It sounds like they're taking the door stop because they want the security features of the building to actually function and the other tenants are actively conprimising them

I think Google search and apples ecosystem are extremely different. Google search is trivial to leave, any one can switch to bing by just typing a different address in the URL bar. Switching off of apple products is painful and difficult and it's by design. My wife and I switched from iphone to Android over a year ago and we're still fighting with apple to stop routing some text messages to iMessage when it should be going to our phones over sms.
