Change of status won't give a visa "stamp". That will be needed to get out and get back in. Visa stamps are only issued from consulates outside the US and are subject to vagaries of weather patterns and cosmic radiation.

Can someone please elaborate on this? What is the "reproducibility crisis" in this case?

Your interesting tidbit about breathing led me to pay attention to my style. Seems I am doing the "right" way, stomach distends on input and vice-versa. It seems impossible to do the other way. I wonder how people get into that habit.

As I understand, they stepped in to bridge the bid/ask spread and act as a temporary market maker to solve a liquidity crunch. Can someone more knowledgeable tell me why the bid ask spread is so wide to begin with?

Real rates are (and have been) negative. :/

Good read. This made me chuckle

"Even the Levandowskis’ nanny assumed a minor role in the drama, when she filed a multimillion-dollar suit of her own, claiming that Anthony had been emotionally abusive to her, and that he had a drawer that was filled with sex toys. (The lawsuit, which offered no evidence of her claims and contained multiple factual errors, was eventually dropped.)"

Can you please point that out? Your previous statement is factually incorrect. The law in question (CAA) grants a one time amnesty to religiously persecuted minorities from neighboring countries of India. Heck, even Sri Lankan Tamils (Hindus) are not included since that was a sectarian conflict. And that amnesty is one time for anyone who came in before December 2014. For the rest, the existing path to naturalize in 11 years remains. It does not affect any existing citizen whatsoever.

Regarding NRC, it was a supreme court mandated exercise which was hastily done in Assam without a well thought out process. There has been no proposal issued about a nationwide NRC and what it would look like. The govt also clarified there are no plans to execute NRC anytime the future.

I thought this forum is more on facts and less on rhetoric. I abhor the banning of anything critical but we should be wary of misinformation at the same time.

Kitchens were out of the homes a few centuries back due to fire codes back then (from what I learned in the plantation tours in Louisiana,US). Today there is no reason for kitchen not be in the house. With all the news about pollution, potential pandemics, it is good to have a controlled environment where the food you ingest is prepared (even though ingredients are not 100% controlled).

Personally, I find cooking meditative and relaxing after a long day in my cubicle and I enjoy eating what I make myself sans excess oils, food colors, etc.

I hope it is enforced well. A lot of loss of wildlife (tigers, rhinos, etc) in the neighboring countries is attributed to the consumption for traditional Chinese medicine.

Interesting. Can it also have something to do with an extremely small sample size? These are both rare conditions so intersection might be even rarer.

They have a 7 day return policy so that works for me. Took both my cars to respective dealers and checked out.

Agree with used. I've gotten both my cars from Carvana and it has worked out quite well; saving over 10K per car by going for a 2 year old car each time.

Thanks for the reply!

What happens to your responsibilities at work while you are out? And are you totally cut off from work while you are out or are you occasionally responding to mails? Also are you more of an individual contributor or have a leadership role?

> I noticed when visiting the US that breastfeeding was not very normal. Like they don't even teach it in a standard hospital.

On the contrary, that was one of the first things they teach after giving birth (apart from diaper changing). They also stressed heavily on the importance of nursing and set us up with a lactation consultant if we needed help in the future.

Zebras are quite dangerous. It's interesting they let you get that close.

Per capita is the only metric that makes sense for carbon emissions since the effects are not going to be confined to artificial nation boundaries. So no, no need to multiply anything.

What do you use to clean your hair? Do you just rinse it in water?

""Kaloyev is a hero. Those guilty of causing air crashes often remain unpunished. Such a radical punishment is the only way to make them carry responsibility for their crimes," said Vitaly Yusko, a member of a Russian organisation dedicated to helping the relatives of air crash victims. "

Ughh that was bad to read..

Same here! The reach was a Godsend for me.

Wasn't this the incident where a bunch of kids died and the grieving parent of one stabbed the ATC person responsible? Sadness all around...

>>If you liked a TV show or movie, give it a "thumbs up." If you didn't like a TV show or movie, give it a "thumbs down."

True, it does affect their recommendations but still the inherent purpose of a thumbs down is to tell them I watched it but didn't like. I would love for them to provide a "not interested" option as well.

That button is for rating the movie/show after you watched it. I want to apriori eliminate items before even attempting to watch them.

That's what I was thinking as well. There seems to be a "dislike" button missing in the UI. If I am not interested in a movie/show, I should be able to stop it from wasting my screen real estate. There can be separate section for dislike list which the user can edit if needed.

Great website. I saw it first time here in the hacker news forum on the thread about the amazon wildfires. The other layers option has a lot of stuff (including active fires).

au contraire, /r/India is India's version of /r/The_Donald. As a centrist, I have seen debates on /r/IndiaSpeaks but any contrary opinion on /r/India is not tolerated at all.

The cost of a rich person vs a poor person of voting against their own self interests is not the same. And I am not condemning anyone. To me, it is just contrary to the PP's statement of Americans thinking about themselves and not about others.

I was going by the PP's premise of choosing one's one good over the greater good of society. What I observed was actually the opposite since that poor coal miner is against "higher taxes" & "socialism" even though it is directly benefiting him. That level of adherence to an ideology is what I found baffling (which has nothing to do with my own ideology).

As someone who has lived here (US) for close to 15 years, what I find baffling is that some of the voting isn't even that myopic. It is so strongly ideology based that a poor coal miner would vote for a politician who would gut his healthcare and scream "socialism is bad" at any alternative which might actually be beneficial to them in the short term.

Thanks for the explanation! I am always curious to learn about other cultures. TBF I am an introvert myself but it was interesting to see the behavior extended to the mainstream.
