No

If this surprises you you are not well informed.

Why people aren't outraged by stuff like this I have absolutely no idea.

completely agree. I'm not going to raise a stink if a project uses something other than master but I will continue to use master.

I like this article but this is actually a good point. "The rich" is mostly used in a negative way.

I'd argue this is because most attempts to reduce large groups of people to an idea like "the rich" or "the poor" are done in bad faith.

A support of this would be, within academic sociology or economics these terms will be used in a non slur way and it's because they actually have a reason to be thinking in terms of these groups instead of throwing them out as stawmen for some argument

This article is half a year old, just for reference.

The entire top level point of the article, the part that is literally the focus of the title, is a recommendation not to call groups by names they don't like.

Did you read the article? Or did you read the first two paragaphs and decide it was wrong thought and go to yell to the internet?

There is not "about a hundred yen per usd".

Awesome how almost every time I see almost anything asserted on HN within my areas of expertise it will reliably be dramatically incorrect.

USD/YEN > 150

You are just encouraging fake news. Please don't ask people to substantiate anecdotes. It's better to just accept the narrative if it fits the consensus.

This obsession with "proof" and "data" is anti scientific.

Imagine being simple enough to buy this narrative wholesale.

There's one objectively correct version of understanding the world and the important idea is to camp people into binary groups of "believes correct news" or "believes fake news"

The google shills are out in force in this thread

This shit really pisses me off because my brother did 23 and me which pretty much means my data is in there without consent.

Serious fucking idiocy

good to see a single person in this thread understanding the problem in a sea of the willfully ignorant

There is just nothing about this statement that is profound

"so unsure what makes it ill-conceived"

The headline of the article is that it has lost 50% of it's value. During that same multi year period we have had well over 10% inflation.

So Maybe that part. Yeah I'm gonna go with that part.

Or maybe the investors just hate money and were going for -60% ROI. Who knows.

Realtors And especially real estate brokers, have ripped apart our society with cartel like tactics so they can grab a few percent on each bit of the destruction.

I hope the book is thrown at them as harshly as possible.

Claw back those earnings and put it into funds to clean up the mess that has been made

Also probably spend more time outdoors/hiking

Ironically, believing he is above using available transportation and above listening to bosses is the luxury belief here.

You seem to think people are going to cower in fear at giving the socially unacceptable(to a specific kind of person) answer here.

Yes obviously people should not buy things they can't afford. If that means you can't have a pet or a 90k pickup truck, or the shoes you want or whatever then so be it.

Totally bizarre that you see this as some sort of gotcha to phrase it this way

Absolutely f**ing rubbish. No. This is dead wrong. You are speaking authoratively but you don't know what you are talking about.

There is nothing inherently superior about debt/gdp. It is one good metric for tracking debt but is in no way the one true metric or intrinsically superior to other debt metrics and importantly it cannot give you a reasonably complete picture of the fiscal situation of a country because it is lacking the key component of incorporating rates and flows.

Japan has more than double our debt to GDP but this is able to not catastrophically blow up in the short term because their interest rates and therefore interest expense is low.

Again, really sad , but not rrally surprising to see low quality drivel stated authoratively as the top answer

I used to love epsilon theory and was a paid subscriber at one point. But I increasingly find his writing style to be obnoxious to the point of being intolerable.

He likes hearing himself sounding poetic, which mostly just sounds trite, more than he likes talking about markets which he is actually pretty good at

this is barely intelligible

wow! this account which was just created to tell you how much they love some paid service is definitely authentic and trustworthy!

Thanks for the very cool tip (not advertisement) bro!

You know things are going well when you have to yell at the internet that your not dead.

I'm referencing the 2M+ short term rentals in the US. Obviously not all of them are but let's just say more than half. That's a lot of inventory sucked off the market. More than double the total number for sale right now.

The US does not have a shortage of single family homes. It has a shortage of single family homes that are being used as single family homes.

The data in this video is unambiguous. Sales down 40-50% in cities where there are 4x more Airbnbs than homes for sale. Some of those houses WILL be entering the market as operators cannot handle the negative cashflow. These will be either hard or soft forced sales but let's be clear, many sellers will have no say in the matter.

Fail to understand this dynamic at your own peril. Housing is not nearly secure as many people are suggesting at the moment.

You can always tell weak thinkers when they need to throw out pre-labeled idea placeholders instead of making their point

Who says that? Parent's talking to toddlers?

Surely no one making decisions of consequence in our world. They certainly prefer tit for tat.

It's just a flesh wound...

Try rock climbing? I could never do gyms but rock gyms were something I'd do for fun and it can be equivalent exercise
