Do you drink wine? The best analogy for the difference between Moutai vs Moutai Prince is the difference between a $100+ bottle of fruit forward Napa Cab vs a supermarket red that tastes like it had sugar injected into it. A beginner might

As is true for many hard alcohols, you typically get what you pay for when it comes to Baijiu. Moutai Prince is terrible compared to Moutai but the difference is not in the immediate flavor. It’s mostly in the after taste. Baijiu has many d

We can build housing very well. It’s a matter of cost. Labor is not cheap. Have you tried to price out construction recently? You don’t need to take it from a random comment on HN. Price the market and see what it tells you. If you happen u

Since this comment has been downvoted, I’ll add more math. Building housing takes anywhere from 3 to 4 years for any significant development that can make a dent. When the average investor can get 7% with minimal risk in the S&P500, you

Then you should do it. The market will clearly reward you for it right?

this ignores the basic economics which is that it’s too expensive to build housing. Labor is expensive, materials are expensive, and permitting is expensive.

Tangential to the topic: articles like this one often talk about “waiting lists” for luxury items like Hermes bags and Rolex watches. To be clear, there is no waiting list, or at least not the type that is counted down with wall clock time.

This matters for R&D tax credits as well. Only new feature development is considered eligible.

I’ve recently started research construction costs due to a desire to build a custom house. Not sure what it’s like in other areas of the country, but in California, everything is negligible compared to labor costs. You would figure that mea

I suspect what is happening is that the affordability crunch is causing a noticeable drop in demand in the HCOL areas (hence the pronounced decrease in prices in the Bay Area I noted in the original comment). The availability of remote work

Housing prices are dropping, as would be expected with the interest rate hikes. House prices are set at the margins, just like any asset. Even if the folks with 3% mortgage rates sit tight and don’t sell, there will still be downward pressu

There’s a lot of negativity towards capitalism here in this thread which is hard for me to understand when the average Hacker News user is upper middle class chatting away on social media in the middle of a work day. It seems like capitalis

There are 2 things happening at once that seem to be causing a rift in online discussions: 1. It seems like people are severely underrating the flu and always have been. Remember when we closed all restaurants and bars and suspended all spo

I know a lot of folks are walking away from the puzzling aesthetic but I think that’s the point. Existing Tesla owners with a taste for existing design cues won’t push Tesla sales any further. They’ve got to expand the demographic and this

This doesn’t include the fact that all foreign enterprises in China are actually 51% owned domestically. Tariffs, while severe, are no where close to this extreme protectionism. The US finally decided to bring a knife to a gun fight.

The real problem is that there hasn’t been any attempt at policy changes to correct this. In order to do so, society needs to chip away at the problem in steps. Right now, real estate is simply a good investment regardless of everything els

A more "common" Patek like a Calatrava would be a different story and you've changed the goalpost in the discussion. So we're no longer talking about the highest levels of horological achievement -- that's fine, but

Anyone who buys a watch for the status is going to be disappointed. A $200,000 car will get you laid quick. A $200,000 watch wouldn't get noticed except by geeks you wouldn't want to bed down anyway. Fortunately, in 10 years, at l

I have some interesting pieces from the 1950s that are still running with no repair to date (but these were well kept). I'm fortunate enough that my grandparents had some of their really old watches sitting in a drawer. For most of the

I noticed that the commentary in this thread seems to be full of untruthful statements being thrown around as facts. This probably betrays the fact that the audience here is not very knowledgeable about mechanical watches, which was part of

I know you're asking this question as a rhetorical but the answer is not what you think it is. The answer is "yes" of course a Chinese made Patek Philippe would be an object of appreciation. But there isn't one. There&#x
