Depending on the stuffing, I might actually rather take the seat, just because it's got armrests.
I rationalize it as "You took some blows so now you have a better pain tolerance".
Possible formula: Tax for n-th house = n-th Fibonacci number + 5 * max(0, n - 2). So low numbers like three get penalized by that linear part, and high numbers grow exponentially due to the Fibonacci number.
Can you even kill something that's already dead?
It's very pedantic, but he does have a point. Similar to how you could view memory usage as O(1) regardless of the algorithm used, just because a computer doesn't have infinite memory, so it's always got an upper bound on that.
Only that's not helpful at all when comparing algorithms, so we disregard that quirk and assume we're working with infinite memory.
That's a point I didn't actually think about, touché. Let's go through this then:
Before Covid (in my country at least), there was this massive push for more homes, because the interest rates were so low. Everyone was building a house, because it was so very cheap (in interest at least, not necessarily in costs). At that point, wise developers might have decided to not take on any big new projects, focusing on finishing their current ones instead of trying to ride out this bubble.
Then Covid hit and the supply chains broke down. That was sudden and couldn't be expected, I'll give you that. But now, four years later, the main reason (in my opinion) for the low occupancy is the newfound interest for WFH, also resulting from Covid. Who needs an expensive condo in a crowded city if you can have a cheap flat in a small town instead?
So in this case, I'll (partially) retract my prior opinion and instead state that while a crash could've been seen somewhere on the horizon, Covid with all its consequences certainly couldn't have been foreseen.
I'm not familiar with the housing prices in Toronto compared to smaller cities in Canada, but perhaps those developers need to bite the bullet and lower their asking prices, because I'd imagine selling for less is still better than holding onto dead weight, praying for demand to go up again.
Wow, writing the same paragraphs three times... What an abomination of an article.
On a serious note, they shouldn't have been so greedy then and waited until prices had fallen again... This looks exactly like the dotcom bubble crashing because investors just couldn't hold their horses.
I don't really like including pedestrians in there. Like sure, you can fit a bunch of people in a small area, but another point you shouldn't ignore is the throughput over time, and pedestrians are by their nature rather slow. Obviously if you're looking at shopping in a street lined by shops left and right, then that street becomes tailor-made for pedestrian traffic (and nothing else except perhaps bicycles). But public transport is much better suited for travelling any further distances, and that should be the main focus when deciding to ditch cars.
Funnily enough, in D&D 5E that wizard explicitly can cast that spell (if you're equating Power Word Kill to Avada Kedavra)
That's something I would disagree with though. "Sticking with plain HTML and CSS" is way more work, and often has significantly less functionality, than building a website with a framework.
Ich kenne die Platzverteilung dort natürlich nicht, aber dem Artikel nach hört sich das nach einem einzelnen Querdenker an, nicht nach etwas, das die SPD gemeinsam beschlossen hätte.
