Do you lose your transcripts if you have your loans forgiven? What if a few years later a student enrolls in a different university and applies to have these old courses counted?

That's really misleading wording if they're using it to charge "city tax". Fees upon checkout are usually based on any charged consumables, damage, room service etc. and it makes s…

Does that mean that european travel websites will list the full prices even for American hotels?

There are even websites that list the resort fees, such as https://www.lasvegasjaunt.com/las-vegas-resort-fees-2018-gui... It's also possible to scrape them from other travel searc…

All the regular travel websites I've seen for searching hotel rooms list prices without including taxes, and more importantly, resort fees. How about if someone makes a website whi…

I just applied for a different position listed on your website. Quick question: 1. Do you sponsor H1B's for people who join on OPT/do you hire on OPTs? 3. There are like 3 or so jo…

I know ... am I the only one facing this predicament? I have an early 2009 Mac Pro with OSX 10.9. I don't want to break anything so I haven't updated to Sierra but more and more ap…

Is there any way to run this/download a compatible version for OSX 10.9?

Why not go work in cities that don't mind building vertically and having mixed use zoning? A lot of people like urban living.

I think the priceonomics guys are regular HN participants. They'll probably see the comment and its votes/discussions.

No really, this is confusing. OP and the person who downvoted this, it's better to explain. There is Offshore Leaks and there is Panama Leaks. Or is there a different offshore leak…

I will donate to any effort that brings this to court or a political campaign that runs this line.

But the cost of pure silicon is not due to the cost of the raw silicate. It is due to the energy requirements of purification. AFAIK

Yeah, but is it specifically about its chemistry and electrical properties that makes it interesting?

Interesting. So is the content stored in the tag? Is there more privacy, in the sense that the tag shares the content rather than a username? I wish they had these details.

It won't happen overnight and it won't happen in all countries in the short term. However, Al-Saud family was heavily financed and armed by the British during 1900 onwards. People'…

How about letting the people take the lead in changing the system. It won't be what other countries would like to see, but it will probably be a lot better than the experiments you…

It is sort of linked. The working class and middle class will have a better access to meaningful and diverse jobs in diversified free economy compared to a rent seeking one. It wil…

True, it is a chicken and egg problem. However, it can be done, and there are some promising cases to build on like Austin, Salt Lake City etc. The way I see it, there are enough p…

This is incredibly naive, IMHO. So far the ubiquity of computing power has not had a measurable effect on the mechanisms of aging. Yes, we've made some progress on specific disorde…

So is there any microwave radiation escaping the cone? If more of it escapes from one side than the other, won't the momentum of the escaping photons (radiation) be the reaction of…

So why is it that many industries like software, electronics, finance are all located in the non-expanding, expensive cities? Sure, access to the beaches is nice for recreation and…

It's easy to stack boxes. How much of the messy stuff like plumbing, kitchen, toilets, electricity, HVAC is handled by the "rack" vs. the "box"?

True, though I'd like to understand it on deeper level. For example, how much of a house or condo price due to the land and how much of it construction, maintenance, taxes? In any …

This is where I'd like to see more innovation. The kind of stuff that takes most of the time and money for most people. Housing, cleaning, food storage, plumbing, transport, securi…
