Is this what they mean by "eat the rich?"

Can? Yes. Will? Not likely: no overrides have happened since '79

Yup, quite bad and Canadians acknowledge that. Incidentally, what country was studied in the Davin report?

Sure. I don't think anyone said this is the whole story. The original post refers specifically to single-detached houses.

Fun with headlines. How many people are going to click in and realise that the single-detached-house investors they want to be mad at are their parents?

"Ban realpage" is the most recent in a long history of "one weird trick to fix the housing market! landlords hate it!"

This part's interesting. The rest is so-called mom & pop landlords

Can you state clearly what finding, if presented, would convince you to change your mind?

When Wales lowered its default speed limit from 30 mph to 20, it created a perfect natural experiment. England, a nearby jurisdiction did not.

πŸ‘€ You can see road deaths declined by 25% in Wales after the policy was implemented. Via @20splenty.bsky.social www.20splenty.org/gb2024stats

Chess is not a wargame. It's an abstract strategy game. The defining element of a wargame is the simulation of war.

In terms of why excel used floating point, not convinced there's a good reason not to use floating point. You lose usually-negligible precision while handling a much larger range of numbers than fixed point would permit.

It's a quantization error. Can't do infinite precision on a finite system.

In some cases like audio it can be mooted: no human will hear the difference between a CD-Quality 44.1 kHz recording and the real thing. But a dog would hear the lack of frequencies >22.05 kHz.
