>a green card is not that hard to get. Are you eligible for Permanent Residency after renouncing US citizenship? I would have thought that such an action would have some consequences regarding future residency.

I tried to make it clear in my previous comment that I didn't necessarily support such a tax, but I don't find anything inherently wrong with a country, any country, limiting or otherwise taxing foreign real estate ownership. I wo

Well, yes I should have been more clear. My main contention was that those who aren't American shouldn't necessarily be allowed to participate in the US real estate market under the same terms as Americans are allowed to. I'm

I agree with you if the OP is suggesting a tax on foreign born Americans. On the other hand, if the OP is talking about foreign non-Americans, I'm not sure I automatically believe that they have an absolute right to access or participa

I know it's probably a bit late for iPhone 7 related reviews, but I found this website interesting in that they actually review cellular reception. It's somewhat humorous that in most smartphone reviews, actual cell reception is r

I'm somewhat surprised to learn that Jobs and Page were on speaking terms, particularly towards the end of Jobs' life, given the animosity, at least publicly displayed, between Apple and Google.

Thanks for the response. I didn't realize Sled Driver was first published that long ago. I'm certainly glad he is offering newer editions, even if they are still quite pricey.

I have a copy of "Skunk Works" and it is indeed a great book. Amazon still has it for under $12[1]. And seeing as it's quite popular, most large libraries should have a copy as well. It's great that you brought up "

The SR-71 was an interesting beast. I've read that due to the constant leaking while on the tarmac they would have to immediately rendezvous with a tanker to refuel after takeoff.

That's certainly true but I was mostly meaning to highlight the fact that as these batteries age, and may no longer be suitable for their original purpose, they could still be useful for a whole range of alternative purposes. As the or

I agree. My experience with the curved Galaxy phones is limited to in store demos so I don't know how valid my ergonomic concerns are if I used the phone daily and got accustomed to it. I do agree they look very nice. The Xiaomi Mi Mix

One of the overlooked cool benefits of EVs imo, is that you can repurpose old batteries, even if they aren't suitable for the EV market. As a battery ages and loses capacity, say it goes down to only 50% of it's capacity when new,
