What is this visa thing you applied for that took less than 5 minutes? Are you from a country that does not require a DS-160? There is no chance you filled that form in 5 minutes.

Where will you travel to that allows lying to agents at the border?

My wife and I have entered the US twice since President Trump came took charge. We're Indians, I'm on H1b and wife's on F1. The second time was a breeze, the agent was in a great mood and we just chatted about how she loves m

You're limited to 18k a year, which many people probably hit.S So extra salary would not help. That's one reason.

> I think current technology has been wholly negative on society. That's a bit of a lofty statement with no accompanying argument whatsoever. We could go on and on, no? Also, he did say "Advertising allows people with no means

No worries. I took a look at your github, etc and you didn't look like either Navathe or Elmasri's kid :) Congrats on setting an example for others!

Thanks for replying. I was wondering if they had to charge something to comply with a law or something (not that they would really let that get into the way of a feature).

It comes across more like drunk driving to me. Making a mistake, then blaming it on the drink (or lack of coffee here).

Any idea why they have to charge $.01 per trip? My wife uses the unlimited flat fare package in south bay, 2.99 per pool ride or 7 per uberX ride (with caveats that apply rarely).

Okay, thanks for answering!

Wow, yeah, this one is really blatant. I'm surprised they use the ".desi" domain, I automatically equated that with unprofessionalism (for lack of a better, less insulting word).

What do they drink after they are past breast-feeding age? Or are you saying that milk is not all that necessary once you are not a baby anymore?

Is it the one by Navathe and Elmasri or a different one?

The President's father is Lenovo's founder. I don't know if the CEOs father is a big shot.

> that the shutdown notice here isn't great. That's your opinion. I disagree with it.

If that's the goal, he should know (from the comments on this post, from comments on other shutdown posts in the 100 days he has been here, etc) that this is the kind of language a shutdown post has. It's nothing new. This was on

Why are you so angry? Did they make you force read the post?

I think how hard something is cannot be easily understood by a non-very-senior engineer without context. I had a very good experience when interviewing at Facebook except for the part where they ask you this question. Either they were asked

Especially on Delta and American, I don't even get brusque professionalism, I get outright rudeness. The longer I've lived in the US, the more I've learned to minimize conversations to flight attendants to "I'll jus

Virgin America[0] has a better website, in my opinion. Southwest has always been nice to me, but when they had their big outage in May 2016 they were quite rude to everyone. https://www.virginamerica.com/

I was going to disagree with a bunch of things you said about the cities you mentioned, but I liked your last two lines! You seem to be happy, so it doesn't really matter why, I guess. I hope that continues being the case.

Because you asked: Actually, I'm happy to give up a year or two of my lifespan in exchange for a much more urban lifestyle in a place a lot of our (wife and I) friends live. Assuming a regular lifespan somewhere into the 70s or so. I&#

Actually at a previous job (at the front page of HN today for CEO severance) I started developing sympathy for politicians who say things like that. I saw how out of touch upper management was with what was actually going on, and in somethi

It's slightly unfair to use this argument in a thread asking about smartphone recommendations, IMO. He/She needs to be connected a few more hours a day. We also survived thousands of years without fire/pasteurization/hos

Nope! I'm still learning to say potentially offensive things in a non-offensive way, so maybe that didn't come across well. (Unless you are sarcastically saying that I must be trying irony.)

Well the person they were arresting was not quite normal. At least some part of your comparison is incorrect.
