Yeah, I worked at Android in google at that time and he probably thought “I wish we could use kotlin”. It was still pretty rude to laugh though, had to be aware many candidates would already be nervous and would find it offensive.

For me, sure the hotels overcharge a lot but it is so much less than the flight ticket there I usually just shrug. For longer stays I just buy some detergent locally and was in the bathtub, many hotels have a string you can dry clothes on.

Can't you just mail things back? We did that from a trip to Italy, mostly wines. Almost all local vendors of expensive items was well prepared to mail things to the US.

I have the 25L I use for everything for almost 5 years now. Still see no signs of wear and I do not treat that thing nicely. I am wondering for the 40L, can you bring it as carry on item on flights? For the 25L I can and it is usually large

Each dealership and even sales person is different. Even if VW wanted to do something they couldn’t.

No they did not. I recently tried to buy an id4 and was told by the dealer that there was a 5k markup from sticker price and no reservation system. They have a list of people they will call when a car gets to the dealership and the first to

Does anyone know how zoning restrictions affect this in California? Wondering at what point you need to get approval to set up something in your backyard.

I want there to be world peace and all dogs to be happy and I think that is reasonable, but I also understand that it is not likely to happen. To be honest I feel that is pretty similar. If someone wants to get paid for something, it needs

We had that in Norway too. We don't have that in the US since it's part of the business model of the postal office or USPS to deliver ads in your mail box.

I don't think that is true anymore now that several jurisdictions says that the recruiter must mention a number first on the salary. They would never do that if they can at all avoid doing so. At any cost.

Right, of course aliens are extremely unlikely. The reason it is even talked about is because there are few convincing explanations how the Egyptians could theoretically have built the pyramids at that time.

Thank you! Very interesting.

by kmonsen 5y ago
Are there strong counterpoints to this? If that is possible it seems extremely more likely than aliens or whatever else people are coming up with.

I can't believe any of that is controversial. All political systems have been extremely captured and are very polarized and focused on short term thinking to make us miss the forest and focus on tiny divisive details. I would never vot

Because this is a thread about China? I’m not American, I don’t agree with the Vietnam war and I think the civil war was an ethical difficult decision. That was 150 years ago so not really sure why it is relevant.

I think people have a right to self determination. If Texas wants to secede please go ahead and do so. Same for Catalonia, Hong Kong or any other. Not saying it is a thing that should be done lightly, but also not impossible. Countries exis

This has happened to me many times as well. It needs to be extremely friction free and pretty cheap.

Texas does not have a special one country, two systems status and Hong Kong does until 2047. The fact that the communist party completely ignores this fact does not make it go away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_cou

I used to be my company's union rep when I worked in Norway. I had zero need to fight for anything my coworkers did not want. Actually, I was very happy to do nothing until my coworkers complained and asked me to talk to management.

I did the same, then my graphics card died and it was a net loss :-(

by kmonsen 5y ago
I think it needs to be less than $1, and really easy to do. And there needs to be trust that the card will only be used for that one article.

I think this is my point, this was a very non-controversial bill made in as much as a bi-partisan way as we can. It is also very similar to what Trump called infrastructure week. Still it got 2!! republican votes in the house. In the senate

In the sense that new laws are really difficult to do in the age of polarization. So instead the executive branch issues orders and the judiciary interprets laws in creative ways.

I think you are right the crypto can solve some problems, perhaps even useful and interesting problems. But I don’t think it currently solves useful problems dot average people. I know that was not your claim, but it could be read as such a

Bitcoin is perhaps a rounding number today (my guess is that it is more than that due to Chinese miners not reporting energy usage correctly but could very easily be wrong), but what it solves is even less of a rounding number. Said in a di
