Yeah roughly $6 a gallon after currency conversion.

Is there a startup that helps companies onboard users?

For diesel, there is the thinking that if you keep the engine idling rather than turning it off and back on (letting it cool down) it will last much longer. I don't know how much truth there is in that but I do know it is a popular opinion.

Probably not. Cheap gas generators use a ton of fuel.

I dunno if that is really accurate. A diesel engine is really just a generator.

Abortion is a religious thing (for some reason - God killed lots of babies in the Bible, and also there isn't really much mention of abortion either) more than anything, but I guess you could also say that religion is just a way to control bodies too?

There wasn't any real evidence for the use of Ivermectin. Some public policies were not perfect or misguided (lockdowns) some were inconsistent with both messaging and implementation (masks) some were really good and people are against them for no logical reason (vaccines, though maybe requirements are totalitarian in cases).

I think the reality is that because there are holes in the response to covid, people dismiss the whole.

Also, there's no real way for us to know what would have happened if we did nothing. Maybe another 1-2m dead - or maybe we'd be just where we are today.

There is also the non-inflation adjusted line there. Nevermind. I think I can tell you're not really interested in having your opinion changed lol

Crashed? What do you consider a crash?

Housing (at least in the US) never crashed if you're not adjusting for inflation.

If you do adjust for inflation, housing was mostly flat.

It is not hard to find this data.

Just look at these charts:

I admit I'm not an expert here - but unless someone comes to be with a really good argument why the US Government is on verge of collapse b/c of raising rates (they are the ones why raise rates!!!) I am not sure how much I need to prove the counterpoint?

That's definitely not true about antibiotics.

I don't really like this fallacy as I think it is really dangerous. Because you're wrong about something (or even everything) doesn't mean you're wrong about another thing.

Because there are examples of the medical community getting it wrong (btw they did not get it wrong when it came to opiates - everyone knew opiates were addictive) doesn't mean they are always wrong.

Also there is no way for you to figure out who the quacks are (of course they exist, there are MDs suggesting insane things all the time) and who the correct but contrarians are.

So, by default you assume if the opinion is not mainstream it must have validity.

Now, I'm not saying the opposite is true. I'm saying it is just as bad (or maybe even worse statistically) to form an opinion because it isn't mainstream as it is to form an opinion just because it IS mainstream.

You're not a critical thinker because you dismiss the mainstream because it is mainstream. Just the opposite.

Obviously it is not guaranteed bro. We only have history to base these assumptions on. The history backs the fact that housing prices will not go down - unless there is another major issue like the fraud during 2008, which seems unlikely but not impossible.

Nothing is a guarantee. Silly to base your argument on that. Nothing is for certain.

You're just being silly. Just look at the data: https://inflationdata.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2021/1...

It is easy to see that even during insane rates (80s etc) housing prices didn't collapse.

They went down a little, but only after adjusting for inflation. :)

Because interest rates don't immediately go up. Because the government has ways to ensure that they do not have to pay too much to service the debt. Because the government doesn't have to issue new debt to pay the old debt. Etc.. etc.. etc..

Of course it matters what people think.

You're right it is hard to beat that. And mostly everyone can see it is absurd. It is also probably absurd to extrapolate this event to a representation of an entire culture or political affiliation. I would challenge you to ask ten liberal people you know what they think of this.

No. Why do you think it has gone too far?

What you're saying isn't new.

That's not true.

Probably not much. The only time the US had a major home price adjustment was 2008 and that was because the housing market was the problem. Currently the housing market is up but not a problem. There aren't crazy foreclosures and there aren't any expected. Tho that can change if we have a big recession absolutely.

Also home prices did not take a very long time to recover all things considered.

My 30y is 2.5%. Amazing.

Oh not on HN sorry. I meant in the context of general conservative discourse. I have friends and family who bring up the Clintons a lot.

It is rare for people to handle different and uncomfortable well, but some people handle it really poorly.

The Clinton stuff is really funny. HN is not really the place for heated political commentary but there is deep irony there with regards to how a certain portion of the population responds to criticism of Trump and his policies (lately, mostly surrounding Ukraine and denying them aid) and how often they bring up the Clintons.

Honestly I used to work early and I enjoy going into work before the sun is up. I don't understand why you need the sun up when you're going to work unless you work outside. And if you do your hours would just change anyway no matter what is done.

Lots of fun, but the issue with the images (is this the problem?) needs to be fixed. And the command issue where everyone sees the output - I wonder how hard that would be to address. Neat app!

Is no one mentioning how you cannot delete your account on HN? :)

I hate this argument. I hear it all the time. It's wrong and silly.

Seems to me that this is exactly the problem. The python team is saying they really can't maintain these libraries to a high standard and need to remove them from the standard library. I can see both sides but really that makes a lot of sense to me.
