Why not focus on the root cause instead of workarounds?

Local < 2 fertility rates are swamped by global > 2 rates. Overpopulation is a global problem affecting the US, same as global warming. The US is fast growing in population.

On that page I readily see significant differences between the two. I'd prefer The Deal Truck if it were in my area.

I reckon we're 20 years away from the overpopulation problem reaching the same level of media attention as the consequent global warming problem does now. The former is still a taboo topic. In the meantime expect things to get way worse.

There's plenty of river water available in the US West for a lesser population, which can be attained through attrition.

Downvotes predictable, tech solves everything, more people is always better, there's nothing to see here, please move along.

Japan's low-crime culture helps a lot to keep such density pleasant.

Or you go there to better protect your kids and get them better schools.

In the US, higher density goes hand in hand with higher homelessness and crime. I'd prefer more density than traditional suburbs, but if it's dense like a European town you'll have panhandlers and pawn shops all over.

Even more important given heavy gov't intervention driving house prices up 20+% annually in market markets. Renting for a few months can now do more harm than good overall.

I'm hopeful that Trulia won't get worse. I'd like to see the best of the two sites available in one site.

Redfin is pretty good but is in only select cities. IMO Trulia's interface is superior to Zillow's. One small example, on Trulia you can wrap around when cycling through pix. On Zillow you have to go backwards through all pix to get back to the first one. Trulia is more fine tuned like that. On mobile, the gap between Trulia and Zillow is even wider in Trulia's favor.

Zillow shows lot lines, which is nice. Zillow has better price history. I use Trulia for finding a house initially, and then Redfin or Zillow to get deeper info. Redfin has the deepest data.

In my state the only qualifications are that you paid the insurance for the last x months, and didn't quit or get fired for good reason.

Definitely not cheaper than no house payment. In NV for example there are thousands of homedebtors who haven't made a payment since 2008. They're effectively protected by state law until 2017.

Or keep the house and let the bank eat it until you get forced out, which could take many years. The bank took the risk too. Ideally (not reality unfortunately) it's a private deal between you and the bank, no taxpayer money involved.

A vehicle worth less than $10K, Mercedes or not, fine, keep it.

The root beer, no sympathy! Don't buy it with food stamps.

Fisher Price should release a version that takes a smartphone instead of a picture disc.

Yep. Probably best to focus on the end user, who usually doesn't care about your underlying tech. WordPress, Facebook, Craigslist, all built with tech that isn't the latest and greatest, yet still successful.

To stay on top, all you gotta do is have 3 years experience in everything that came out in the last year.

The new features look promising. I'd also like to see UPDATE ... FROM. It's kludgy to achieve the equivalent of this in SQLite3.

I did that, using Go and its channels feature. Not much code and works like a charm.

Pretty sure I could buy a device today that streams wirelessly from my computer to the TV in the living room.

Didn't know, thanks! Also didn't know that (from Dropbox help) "Your files are stored using 256-bit AES encryption". You have to trust them with the keys though.

Put only a backup copy (not the source file) into Dropbox or Tarsnap. Don't delete the file on either system. Same boat.

Scripts can copy out from the Dropbox to both negate your issue and proliferate backup copies to many physical locations.

I have a backup file there, so can confirm it does work for that purpose.

It's a symbiotic relationship, no tolerance needed. Reddit would be less popular without Imgur.

How about Dropbox + TrueCrypt, except easier to automate and much cheaper beyond Dropbox's free tier, in exchange for taking the risk on a one-person business?

Likely Coinbase customers expected Coinbase to keep their real name secure from potential thieves. But they thought wrongly.

Useful, I say. It's documentation regurgitated into an efficient Q & A format.

Agreed! Been developing for a looong time. I switch between languages and OS's a lot. Say I'm switching back to Powershell after a hiatus and I can't remember if it's "if (this) {" or "if this {". StackOverflow may be my fastest way to find the answer and also get an if/else/elseif block to copy/paste/modify. Non-trivial code I copy/paste gets understood thoroughly and often heavily modified!

Agreed, I don't ask trivial questions myself.

I understand your position.

Presumably SO wants to maximize its readership. What I've seen is that they allow any programming question, even of trivial nature, as long as it's objective not subjective. I like that and think it's a good way to maximize readership for objective stuff, because I often google for trivial things. For example, Powershell if/else/elseif syntax, if I haven't used Powershell in a while. I just found the syntax on SO within 10 seconds, with an example I can copy/paste/modify. I bet a lot of other developers use SO like that too, and I bet it's largely the reason people put trivial questions on there. My motivation is efficiency. Being efficient can be construed as lazy I guess!
