Currently you can't get out unless you have a business, student visa or permanent residence permit. The word is that tourist visa holders will be denied exit. Getting in is also very arduous.

The worse the advertisement the better. I lived in an absolutely lovely townhouse which had no pictures posted and a description which failed to mention any of the amenities. My current house was shown with no staging and blackout curtains.

Their other services might be hell, but I'm now three years in on AT&T fiber internet. It has been a great experience. They charge a round dollar amount with all fees included and have only changed the price once ($10 more) after t

They gave up after 8 offers? It took me 9 and more than 6 months. A lot of it is calibration to the market in order to estimate the winning bid and the rest is waiting for the chance. Eventually there is a house for sale that fits your need

At the end there is some text "sinusoidal characteristic". This is a control system, and (unlike the system of a bicycle) with increased speeds it will go unstable, the oscillations will continue to increase uncontrolled. This is

Yeah, how did they bootstrap the first pdf reader? /s It must have been hard guessing at the spec until you could read it properly.

Thermador Gas Cooktop 30" Stainless Steel SGSP305TS [1] I was not planning to spend that much, but I'm glad I did. I was replacing an obsolete 32 inch cooktop, which had a roughly 31.5 inch cutout in the counter. I found out that

Not op, I agree that open coils are trash, IR are usable, induction is nice, but I can't say it is better than gas. A gas stove designed for wok use is amazing. I bought a house with electric and had the gas line extended into the kitc

You made me laugh more than any joke in the article. The way of the world: when you want a thoughtful paragraph you get a list, when a list would be best you get something else.

If you are pretty good at your work that minimum might only take 20 hours?

I had trouble with it too. I think it's because if you read it as a newspaper headline you expect it to be two sentences, broken after the first three words. "Gated challenges unknown. Senders to donate to charity in order to rea

I work on a team that runs following a high trust and domain ownership model. When I joined our process was "write some code, test it, be confident in the code, commit it to trunk". A number of years ago we worked our way through

If you are staying private and want the flexibility that gives you, it makes sense to me to spin out and IPO successful businesses. That lets you convert private equity into public and leave your core business unencumbered with additional l

Despite the fact that negotiations are a core part of Chinese business practices, in the tea industry nobody worth their salt would ever ask for a lower price. The seller will always give you a lower price if you ask, but then also give you

USPS is great. I run a small ecommerce business and each year a package or two is lost (out of hundreds, maybe this year thousands). So far USPS has been responsible for one and UPS the rest (I don't ship on any other carrier). As you

I thought the on-boarding process where I work was good when I went through it. The important part was that I felt respected and that the company was excited to have me (despite it being large enough back then that about 10 to 15 were joini

Anytime I sign into a system I have not signed into for a long time. The first thing I do is save the history file before I start working. Many times it has saved the day when you get stuck: where did I store that config? what was the comma

In the past I have adjusted the black level on my video player to make movies like this watchable. It won't look good, but you can make the few shades they used visibly different.

I guess their numbers show it is a net win, but I'm not a subscriber solely on the basis that they don't let you cancel easily.

A few days ago this was mentioned (yet again) on the Mercury News column "Roadshow" [1]. The column explained that Caltrans did offer to to fix it, but the change was rejected about 30 years ago. [1] https://www.mercury

We should definitely move away from leaded gasoline and housing should not be allowed to develop near airports. Phrasing the conversation around "showering it over the land below" is to the point of fearmongering. The airplanes bu

Perhaps they mean in the other direction, the long way. Quite a few crops are grown between California and China. Looking at a map California is near the left and China on the right making this a natural sweep across the map.
