I am well familiar with my old stomping ground Madison Square Park. Not what I'd call a proper park by any means. It's a series of benches around a lawn. Nice to sit and people watch, but that's about it.

Columbia U is pretty far uptown, not midtown. Small pocket parks don't really cut it, people need to be able to go for walks under trees and maybe a sporting field or two.

Not Manhattan. Outside of Central Park there's not much green space at all. Midtown south, Flatiron, Downtown, etc have nothing! They may have paved urban parks but there's simply not enough green space per person, and that's

If these highways were actually user-pays, nobody would be able to afford to commute on them. Spending billions building rail or huge highways to outer towns with very low density who would never allow high density development makes no sens

This is literally a growth industry in Canada right now. Toronto is building a big tech sector just taking up people who can't get into the US. The government and establishment are all on board with population growth as a source of eco

Yes, you can be denied a visa for misrepresentation, however it will be up to the Consular officer. Thus far, the Consulates don't seem that concerned with social media and haven't appeared to be fans of this addition, but CBP lik

You can feel the fatigue with central banks all around the world. It's obvious this small group of people shouldn't hold this power and it's clear they have no idea what they're doing and are just moving levers like our

I'll never understand why people expect a rate of return above inflation simply for holding in cash savings accounts. It's a fundamental concept of a market economy -- you need to take a risk in order to earn a risk premium!

I'm particular as well, what I mean is there are a lot of high quality options rather than just one, which is great

fair enough, I like the staff at all the cafes I go to so I enjoy seeing different types of people. I think the outlook you mention, while positive, does reflect the sort of insularity and lack of curiosity about new people so present in Sy

People here in Australia are very keen on committing to one cafe and being extremely loyal. I don't get it -- there are so many coffee options around, why not try many? I rotate around several different cafes around my office , and peo

Should clarify I'm not in tech. I dress business casual for 4/5 days. It takes a lot of time and effort to deal with selecting, matching, dry cleaning pants, ironing, etc and it's less comfortable than true casual. We don&#x2

I'd take private office and casual dress code over work from home. I live close to the city with a great commute but don't have space for a home office at home.

Have you been outside the loop? There is no culture of shade protection in Texas the way there is in other not places like Australia or mideast. Massive concrete car parks with no shade structures in sight. No solar panels on the roofs of b

Or more like, the USD is extremely overvalued right now. In addition, the US makes travel to the US extremely risky and difficult, even for visa waiver eligible applicants. Many people are starting to not bother.

I hadn't thought of that because I hadn't been to a theme park in years, since smartphones took off. Wow. I couldn't imagine a line full of kids staring at phones. Lines were always tedious, but we joked around and generally

This is called forced leave (shutdown period) and it's certainly not restricted to tech. The whole country seems to shutdown for two weeks, which I like, but I hate the concept of forced leave. Not everyone wants to take off during Chr

No there is a specific political agenda right now to deny or refuse or delay as much as possible. You have to challenge and spend more on fees to get supervisory review, litigate, appeal etc and they know most employers aren't willing

It's not Labor certification. They file a labor condition application. All it requires is that the wage be above the prevailing wage for that occupation in that metro area.

Alleged breach of a private contract is not "illegal." Please know what you're talking about before providing legal advice.

That doesn't invalidate the point

You state inequality goes down then you show a link about wage increases the last two years. This doesn't address inequality and inequality is usually a wealth issue, not income, and not only over the last two years.

This is, by far, one of the stupidest things I've ever read on this site.

I generally agree and promote this sentiment. However, you are confusing bubbles popping with recessions. You can have standard recessions without bubbles.

Your answer is insane and shocking.

yeah that was an odd comment, shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the continental climate.

Window units are not common outside of the US (thank God). Much more common overseas are split systems.

I mean, the Harbour Tunnel does that onto S Dowling St, yes, it's congested but still works better than going through the city...

Ah there are so many whingers in Australia who hate change! The new tram is much needed and George St is much better off with this than the hellscape of buses and cars. The southeast desperately needs a proper link to the city. As someone w

It's definitely an issue. A woman was killed when she rode over tracks and slipped, then went under a bus. And: https://www.smh.com.au/national/tram-tracks-a-trap-for-cycli... http://www.executivestyle.
