It really depends. I had to have a real driving test with surface streets, highway driving, as well as parallel and reverse 90 degree parking. In Minnesota. Where I was just exchanging my license for a US/Minnesotan one.

Those are technical improvements. Most people complain about changes to the UX that make things worse or change things around for seemingly no reason.

I actually asked for experiences of people with VR headsets for movie watching. No one said they would recommend it. I was kind of surprised. Do you think they are good for that use case?

Where does it go from marketing to lying?

This may be a very unpopular opinion, but I tip as little as possible. I don't live in the US, and don't like how tipping has spread as part of a cultural export from the US, to places where a perfectly fine minimum wage exists. On top of that, US behemoths like Square are bringing the tip screens to every POS terminal. Sorry but I will not give a tip for grabbing the sandwich from behind the till and handing me a soda from the fridge.

The only time I tip is when I have an expectation of repeat business, like at the hairdresser or my favorite bar/restaurant.

Unless you can and do read financial documents and have a say at the investor relations meetings, you're more likely a trader relying on being able to sell your shares for a greater price than you bought them for, than an investor.

Let's be real. 100 shares of a billion or trillion dollar market cap company does not an investor make.

This website reads a little alarmist.

Since I haven't attended any conferences in 2020 and 2021, I was looking for good AI & Data related conferences in Europe.

I happened across this search engine and it has a good list of conferences.

Where I live, kids were never made to wear masks and even mandatory testing was dropped pretty fast.

We sacrificed the financial and mental health of young people for the sake of old people, many of whom turned out to be anti-vax afterwards.

Outside of institutional investors, most old people are the most invested in the markets compared to young people so they have an interest in seeing the market go up.

Pretty much the entirety of the US economy is driven by consumers who live paycheck to paycheck and even have credit to finance bigger purchases.

Do we want to reward those who would pull up the ladders after they themselves used them? NIMBYism is nothing but "f__k you, got mine" mentality writ large.

By Chicago price do you mean the price of the current futures contract at the CME?

There are lots of problems with the USPTO, this is one of them.

On the one hand its great if you have strong IP protection, on the other you (as in the US taxpayer and medical insurance subscriber) ends up paying eye-watering sums for medicines long after the rest of the world has moved on to generics.

TL;DR: AbbVie filed hundreds of patents on Humira, most after the drug was already on the market, covering very specific scenarios, which gave them ammo to keep the drug away from generics/biosimilars for a longer period of time.

Placement on what? Search results that no one is using anymore?

I wonder how many of the male protagonists in these movies are extraordinarily or above-average rich, successful, handsome or charming.

I daresay you won't find a George from Seinfeld in there, rather a set of George Clooneys.

I don't doubt that there was an age difference, but we have/had plenty of living couples from that era and can look in the census records - were Spring/Fall marriages that common?

Counterpoint: the author just sets up a strawman and knocks it down, same as the "other" personal finance people whose advice he derides.

Not unsurprisingly, he's selling a product.

If the assignment is online, there's absolutely no need for the teacher or grader to know the name or ID of the student at all. If its offline, there can be an ID assigned which can change randomly.

In some exams I've sat for, they used IDs to avoid people cheating or playing favorites.

If your argument implies a slippery slope into a fictional dystopia, you just may be exaggerating just a weee bit.

Then you're not a billionaire anymore, you're just some guy.

Thanks for the chat. I have seen enough families where the siblings don't get along, although I do get along with mine and have many fond memories together.

I have to balance the potential for good memories as a bigger family with wanting to have the best for the kid(s) we do have.

I have had 1 kid and am having serious cold feet about having another even though I initially wanted to. Not only the sleepless nights, but thinking of all the vacations and iPhones I would have to buy, where almost every cost would be 2x just by default. Then comes the crowning glory or coup de grace, paying the college education.

Cheaper by the dozen? Not by half!

Fully agree, but if we put in the groundwork now to be able to connect these cars to give back to the grid now, they can already help in peak load situations.

Pareto principle - optimize for 80% of the load and you probably can get by with 20% of the effort.

Connect a few V2G cars to the apartment building as well to soak up the excess supply in the daytime and demand at night, and pretty soon we have a robust solution.

You also grew up and the world changed in that time. I had the same thing, but I realized it was just my teenage years romanticizing the designs of that era.

> It also helps if you hire a relocation expert who knows the system. We paid ~$1,500 to a Portuguese American lady who helped us with everything. She handled setting up all our health care, apartment negotiation and contract review, set up all our utilities and phones, all our residency paperwork, DL exchange, bank account, and more. I highly recommend her and any group like her. They know how to work the system.

In the third world, that's called a tout, and they're a symbol of corruption and inefficiency. The only thing missing seems to be bribes paid to move your papers from one desk to the other faster.

I thought the topic was how to increase the quality of the time spent with your kids. As a recent Dad, I sometimes wonder if the time I am spending with my toddler is time well spent, and not just "babysitting."

I really thought it was a 24 year old with no experience of the world writing that, till I clicked on the profile.

There was a slide deck by Sequioa going around recently, wherein one of the points was that the companies that cut costs hard and fast at the beginning of the recession were more likely to survive to the end of it.

Either that or they see something the rest of us don't when looking at economic data (a long recession).
