Whats your plan to survive this possibility? Stick it out and just expect smaller returns once property prices deflate?

> Austerity measures will include wage and price controls (like Nixon did in 1970s), sky high interest rates.

^This is my biggest concern.

Thus far real estate has been my favorite investment. I assume though if interest rates go up peoples buying power and hence prices will go down. If I liquidate my investments I will owe taxes and I fear inflation will eat up the cash value.

Buy e-yuan? Leave the USA?

Would cooling it help to reduce the amount of pressure the atmosphere has? Isn't the pressure on the surface something like 95 times that of earth.

>It'll be interesting to see if whoever replaces Ajit Pai holds a different view on public intercourse over the airwaves.

I think the word you mean is discourse not intercourse.

I was at a school who was just starting to do some similar things. They had students register the mac of their devices (wired and wireless). So they identified students by mac. With this it was actually pretty easy for a bad actor to frame someone else by just changing their mac to another device on the network.

Same school would also lock your university account after 3 bad password attempts and you could only unlock in person at the library help desk. Again you can see the problem.

I drink decaf coffee sometimes and still feel the same boost as drinking caffeinated even though I know is has much less caffeine. I guess its mostly in my head. Although decaf does have some caffeine.

The thing is we (the US) did do this at one point in time. When I was a kid you could buy a coke in a glass bottle and return it when done to be re-used by the manufacturer. For some reason we stopped. We should bring that back.

When I was in Mexico around the early 2000 they still did this. When you buy a drink you could return it for a few cents back from the vender.

> What triggers writing a test is what matters. Overzealous testers test for each new public method in a class.

I have seen this before. At one company I forced by a couple of other developers to write tests for accessors(get/set) on model classes. They would reject my PR if I didn't do it. To leadership it looked like I was against automated testing.

To me its more important to write tests for places where your most likely to make mistakes. For example calculations or business logic or how the view renders your model as it changes. Not every single small method.

This is something that I suspect could cause another crypto boom even if a short lived one. If/when government decisions or some other forces cause people to want to move currency and avoid government scrutiny there will be a large amount of cash flowing into crypto currency.
