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 sense that those won't be included.


The portion I excluded clarifies that "special fees" include: energy charges, convention fees, resort fees, and parking fees.


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 search sites.


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 jobs with almost identical requirements. Should I go ahead and submit identical CVs and cover letters for all of them?


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


Visual Studio for Mac requires OSX 10.11+.


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 apps are incompatible with my computer now.


Run it in a VM, that way you can keep your main machine on 10.9 and experiment in the VM with things like this.

I guess you already know that 10.9 is no longer supported, so you might want to consider to at least update to 10.10.


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


Yeah. Writing from front-window home-office here: I live in China. The windows is open and the view is greenery, there are birds chirping, with only distant hum from city noise, and the occasional walker-by. Every time my brother, an urban designer, comes to visit he comments on how intelligent and high-density the cities are here. Very human scale, though they're losing a lot to cars these days. Hanoi is another great one.

Anyway our team is 3 right now, we use the lounge room and large TV for meetings and stuff, the office is mostly heads-down space and storage. The last company I started here in China about 8 years ago was in a similar (ground floor, 3 bedroom) apartment, and we had something like 10 people at times. Never any complaints. I lived there too initially, but moved out to dedicate the space to the company after awhile.


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 leaks, and Panama papers are also called offshore leaks?


The Offshore Secrets (2013) was a specific leak about British offshore holdings in the Virgin Islands. The Panama Papers (2016) is a specific leak about offshore holdings managed by Mossack Fonseca in Panama.

This database contains data from the Panama Papers and from what the ICIJ is calling the "Offshore Leaks", which is a conglomeration of the Offshore Secrets and other smaller leaks between then and now.


As I understood they are combined now:

"The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists publishes today a searchable database that strips away the secrecy of nearly 214,000 offshore entities created in 21 jurisdictions, from Nevada to Hong Kong and the British Virgin Islands.

The data, part of the Panama Papers investigation, is the largest ever release of information about offshore companies and the people behind them. This includes, when available, the names of the real owners of those opaque structures.

The database also displays information about more than 100,000 additional offshore entities ICIJ had already disclosed in its 2013 Offshore Leaks investigation."

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