<p>AI auditing of dependency updates will mostly likely come soon (if it's not already there), and should mitigate the most obvious cases at least.<p>(By this I mean integrated in something like dependabot, not just some security companies doing it and publishing reports.)</p>

<p>> People like to save 3 cents on their monthly internet bill<p>It's rarely 0.03 though in my experience. More like 10 a month or even more between the cheap options with bad support and the better ones. Even if you have one issue every year (sounds high to me), that's over a hundred per support phone call. Makes you think twice about the trade-offs.</p>

<p>I agree, but it's also a lot easier to promise a silver bullet to everything than to propose improvements to the actual, hard problems.<p>Yes infrastructure are strained, but it's not like nothing is being done. It's just that it take decades, and will be too little, too late.<p>Same thing with housing. Every one is saying we need to make the procedures more efficient, but when it comes time to actually makes changes, there's no consensus to drop anything.<p>They could have done better, but it would have been very easy to make nothing but empty promises. I prefer they didn't.<p>Although I thought weird that SVP brought the "we will need to increase retirement age" themselves. It's actually pretty likely, but sounds like a massive own goal so close to the vote given how unpopular it is.</p>

<p>As a non American, I have to admit a lot of things sounds very weird to me, especially on the "mortgage loan fees" part.<p>In particular, the title part sounds horrible (and expensive). As far as I know, over here it's all handled by the state, no insurance required. I don't know if it's because of different laws regarding future claims (the registry is the truth, too late to change it?) or just better records?<p>Same with tax/insurance escrow, you just pay directly as it comes, but since we have essentially no property taxes, it's probably not required?<p>On the other hand, here mortgages only have a closing fee (and quite often even none at all, with all the small fees being invisible and rolled into the margin), so that transparency is welcome.</p>

<p>> I think this recently changed, though<p>Yes, it will take effect in 2028. Although that's unfortunate, it was a good tax to equalise tax treatment of owners vs renters.<p>The Swiss market is also different in many ways: no capital gains taxes except on real estate, which really shifts the invest against house appreciation towards renting.<p>> Basically farmers and the upper quartile of income earners are the majority of owners.<p>I'm not certain the second part is very true. Of course, given how prices are you need to be rich to buy, but I think the bias is a lot more towards age than income: those that own are overwhelmingly those that bought a long time ago or inherited.<p>Finally, rent control results in some crazy price to rent ratios in the big cities: Zürich is around 35. But as usual with rent control, it's if you can find the right place.</p>

<p>The poll is by Tamedia, a reliable polling company (as much as any polling company can be).

Initiatives tend to lose steam as time go by, so it might not be enough in the end, but like Brexit, don't underestimate it.</p>

<p>I doubt someone manually went and flagged all the accounts as invalid suddenly or whatever and that was their goal.
By a bug I mean some kind of automated action that did not produce the expected outcome.<p>Also because, at least on our side, the account was in an inconsistent state: we were correctly enrolled/validated, but could not access the signing interface.</p>

<p>If I remember correctly, in all the recent cases it was picked up by automated scanning tools in a few hours, not because someone updated the dependency, checked the code and found the issue.<p>So it looks like even if no one actually updates, the vast majority of the cases will be caught by automated tools. You just need to give them a bit of time.</p>

<p>Usually the luxury part is not the price of the car, it's the associated costs, especially parking. Coupled to the fact that you don't actually need the car (and it's probably a hassle for day to day life, so you only use it for the rare out of town trips).</p>
