11/9    Is the number of senate seats or house seats per state dependent
        on the population of the state?         - reformed ex-commie
        \_ no. yes.
        \_ house  -> based on population (min. 1 per state, otherwise
                     every ~ 600K people +1 seat)
                     \_ Does that mean we have > 1000 seats in the house?
                        \_ I think its 435 seats, but I could be wrong.
           senate -> two per state

           Every state has a equal say in the Senate, in the house
           its based on population. Madisonian Checks and Balances.
        \_ is it a fixed 435 house members no matter what size of the
           country?
           \_ No. The house was much smaller when there were only 13
              states.

8/1     Suppose your house is already paid off and you retire at 65.
        How much expense does one expect to spend a year, in the Bay
        Area? Property tax will be about $10K/year for a modest $850K
        home. What about other stuff?
        \_ I think at age 65, health insurance is the next biggest expense.
        \_ I am thinking that we can have a nice middle class

7[31    Suppose you have a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank earning
        minimum interest rate and you're not sure whether you're going to
        buy a house in 1-5 years. Should one put that money in a more
        risky place like Vanguard ETFs and index funds, given that the
        horizon is only 1-5 years?
        \_ I have a very similar problem, in that I have a bunch of cash

2/19    I just realized that my real estate broker has a PhD in plant
        molecular cell biology from an Ivy League school in the mid 70s.
        Now she has to deal with a bunch of young dot-comers, and they're
        pain in the ass.                        -Only a BS in EEC$
        \_ My agent used to be a hardware engineer.  He switched to real estate
           when he got laid off during the 80's.  Now he's doing very well.
