Thanks for these.

I have realised that I am perfectly average at recognising faces getting 79% on the bbk test and 10 out of 14 on greenwich, however I don't recognise people that well. I hadn't realised there is a difference.

Anybody come across this?

I was at a junction in Spain and I had no idea what to do. It was the most hectic thing in the world, you just sort of went and hoped.

I guess its simialr to some roundabouts in London.

I have no idea how an AV would handle that(unless they were all AVs at the junction)

Is it dark intentions when the nature of a company is to make as much money as possible? The banks want house/land prices to go up so that they can charge one as much in interest as they can get from one's income, whilst making money on any land/property capital appreciation that they have. This is just capitalism surely.

My solution - nationalise the mortgage lenders and cap the mortgage to a 3 * multiplier of annual earnings.

I don't think it will necessarily work because some cracker has just probably added that to their personal dictionary(if they didn't before). It might work if you add 3.14159627 to it or a number/symbol set of your choice. I guess length is fairly key as well.

Not in my experience with Melbourne.

Glen Waverley, Box Hill, Springvale and then the spillover. I can't get a look in. One house went for $200k over the asking price. Glen Waverley has supposedly ~25% Chinese but its a lot more in practice. There are also a lot of Indians looking in the surrounds. There aren't that many anglo people at the viewings at all.

I was talking to a mortgage broker and he said that in some cases the children were advance parties with parents money.

A lot of the estate agents are Chinese as they cater to the Chinese.

Its not just your intuiton the bell curve tops outs squarely in the middle of the two not with two nice peaks. I found this out looking in to Myers briggs(I think its very qustionable). People can never work out whether I am introvert or extrovert.

Is this is a US only offering? I don't want to register if it is.

Also it failed at the first hurdle for me. I don't rent or own. (I am deposit saving with in-laws)

Would be nice if someone could make an arduino/pi one :) off to hackaday to have a look. $495 is a bit steep for me.
