As a non American, based on what I've heard of the US system, I would absolutely ask about price for any medical treatment in the US if I was still physically capable of asking. Haven't broken a leg, so can't be sure whether

And just all round usability; you're typing to get the autocomplete suggestions anyway, keyboard navigation to the suggestions is just more convenient.

I'm annoyed that smart TVs are a thing; it's like having a smart monitor, it just doesn't make sense. I'd rather have a beautiful dumb display that I can plug in to the smart part, allowing the (relatively cheap) smart

I avoided inbox on the web for the same reason as people are complaining about Gmail here; the mobile app is nice, but the web version was borderline unusable for me.

Probably; they're both massive, no doubt about that. Interest rates are low right now, but in general you're probably paying around double the value of a property over a 30 year mortgage, that's a sizeable tax deduction.

Depends; if they're only renting because prices have been pushed out of their reach by speculators, then not really. Some supply of rental property is required, but much less so when housing markets are not out of control.

There is a way you can be of more benefit though; if you're increasing the supply of housing (that is, building new housing) then you're providing benefit. If you can also profit by doing so then go ahead.

Most points also apply equally to the Australian housing crisis in Sydney and Melbourne. No mortgage interest tax deduction here for home owners, although there is for investors, among various other incentives. Governments consistently fa

I'd largely agree with your assessment; it's not cheap , but the cost of living to income ratio is good and therefore it's relatively affordable . It sounded like the OP was not intending on earning a lot though, and so som

I find it hard to read, because I find myself mentally pausing and stressing those words in my head and there are a lot of them! Also the square brackets and the quotes around words that don't seem to warrant them - I'm not sure

Seems fine, unless you read it as them arguing that they should not be given a fair trial; I read it the opposite way, as them arguing that the women and children should have been.

AWS's offering is more mature, but has a concomitantly steep learning curve; using something like serverless[1] can reduce the exposure to that, but there's a lot of stuff to learn to get things working nicely with AWS. [1] https

vim; I don't need a markdown editor, because markdown is (by design) readable as plain text. I tend to note things in markdown just because it's more readable than "plain" plain text.
