I can't comment on total cost of living as I was camping and hitching rides for free, but (restaurant) food and random consumer items seemed noticeably cheaper than their bay area equivalents. 3g/4g data in particular was way ch

I'm in a Chinese airport minus VPN, so I can't read the article to see what he means by fitting it - but in my experience it takes <20 seconds to adjust the nosepiece for a new person. Very small problem compared to the general

Not entirely what you're looking for, but I just finished hitchhiking and urban camping up the Arab peninsula, and Oman is pretty great for coding. Lots of cool and easy to access beaches, very friendly people, modern infrastructure, a

I don't mean to be aggressive, but why are you replying to every comment in the thread with some sort of vague affirmative and a mention of their username? Your karma count/account age would suggest that you've been here long

I frequently get well over 13 hours on a single charge with my year-old x230, and it's significantly faster than the average MBA (full voltage processor). I also have multiple batteries, so I can easily get a full 24-30 hours without n

I moved around every month or two during college, because it allowed me to constantly lower my rent in a very expensive area, and saved thousands of dollars. I recently moved to Palo Alto for work, and got in a minor motorcycle accident tha

Whether or not I disagree with it is irrelevant - HN isn't the place for unsubtle attempts to shift the tone of online conversation in one political entity's favor. I would probably object if a guy posted a submission and commented on sever
