There's also a non-zero number of Canadian engineers in the US. No visa required, just a job acceptance letter for TN status at the border. Minimal language or cultural barrier and educated at competitive colleges. Those workers are go

Whoops. If we're just comparing state sales tax, CA does seem to be the highest. However it's not dramatically higher than many other states, and when you throw in local taxes the combined rate seems to be just in the top ten or s

It's the same situation as the Hyundai battery plant in Georgia last year. The foreign experts come to the US to teach us modern manufacturing. It's more accurate to describe it as Foxconn outsourcing to the US (for tax reasons),

Cardio is unpleasant and stressful, which is why most people don't do it. Someone willing to do something that is not fun, on a regular basis, is going to have stronger mental status that someone who doesn't try at all. As Calvin&

Except Kansai has two terminals, but it's possible that each terminal's baggage processing is handled independently.

Yes, it's the same reason that I recommend people just buy stuff from Costco if they have the item. A buyer at Best Buy or Costco explicitly made a decision to stock the item at the store/warehouse, where shelf space is not free.

How does Waymo handle it now? There are many videos of Waymo depots with dozens of cars not running into each other.

Yeah, "get better sleep" is usually followed with "by buying this thing". No one makes any money if you go to sleep earlier.

That's cool, Garmin finally integrated their 2016 acquisition of InReach into watches. I grew up hearing about a luxury watch that had a satellite antenna built into it - the Breitling Emergency - that now costs over $18K and apparentl

When you inhale, the air within the N95 is quickly replaced by outside air, which means any high CO2 and humidity levels within the N95 is temporary. You are not breathing in a lungful of 5000 CO2 ppm air. Your lungs usually have a lot more

Bluetooth (and wifi) aren't turned off at all through the Control Center - they changed the wording to say "disconnected", meaning that your phone only disconnects from known devices. But both are still turned on for other pu

In my experience, staff will do this if they are pressed for time, or when tourists don't know how to read or operate the payment systems and linger.

I wonder how much of this ridiculous car money was previously buy-a-house money. If you don't think you'll ever buy a house, you might as well spend it on a car.

It's an ironic comment because this article mostly talks about California, which is already one of the most expensive places to live and the most NIMBY. Every other state in the US is generally cheaper to live in. The places that are c
