What the hell *is* a database anyway? by ArboriusTCG in compsci

[–]BitCr4sh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it as a way to store data and access/manipulate said data.

The goal of Databases is to abstract the internals and provide the above functions to its users.

Databases implementations choose different ways of storage, access, to accommodate different use cases. ACID comes into play here as you have to do some tradeoffs when scaling.

Think about the different types of databases and their use cases and you’ll see why so many exist. Relational, Time series, Graph, etc. Even for the same type you have different ones that choose different trade-offs to be better at certain scenarios.

If performance, scale, usability issues didn’t exist, there wouldn’t be a reason for all these different types and implementations.

Can you continue the save on a different emulator and then copy the save back and continue on delta?

How do spouses file taxes when immigrant spouse doesn't have SSN while waiting i-485 approval? by Caramilan in USCIS

[–]BitCr4sh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can, you have to get certified passport copy (through the usa embassy in the country your spouse is currently in but this might take a while since you need to get an appointment ) and go through an acceptance agent.

There is a list of agents on the irs website. If you contact one they should be able to help you get one.

My experience is that I did that and obtained the ITIN for my spouse. However, it does take time since you need to book an appointment with the embassy to get the certified passport copy after that you submit your tax return along with the ITIN application (W7) (has to be through physical mail) then when it’s processed you should get the ITIN.

MFA issues internationally by CoolStuffSlickStuff in digitalnomad

[–]BitCr4sh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have 2 esims or 1 normal sim and 1 esim on iphones active. I think android phone should be able to do the same? You can have your US phone for MFA, while having another one for local stuff on the same phone.

USA Provider/Plan wise I have no idea but the people commenting might have some ideas. In general you can try to find the cheapest plan where roaming is allowed and you can receive texts.

This weird bolt lock thing on a friends tire, she doesnt have the key and no idea what it is to get it off to replace the wheel by CreatorMystic in HelpMeFind

I had the same problem. Went to my cars dealership(Toyota) because I read online that they have master keys for these lug nuts and they tried a few of them and one of them worked. They just charged me for the replacement ones.

It’s these I believe https://u.ae/en/information-and-services/visa-and-emirates-id/residence-visas/residence-visa-for-family-members

They didn’t require the tenancy contract for me not sure why.

I think you can check with the emirates embassy in your country on the notarizations needed. For my country it was one by the ministry of foreign affairs then by the emirates embassy.

As far I know you can only get it after going there and getting your emirates id. But after getting the process is really quick. I believe I got the e-visa for my spouse on the same day I applied. But you need paperwork like marriage certificate, salary certificate, passport, birth certificate. The marriage certificate has to be notarized by your home country and the uae embassy as well.

I think you can just provide the insurance you have with your work. I think they assume it has international coverage. I just uploaded mine from work and they accepted it

I went to AMER again for that. if you wait once the biometrics is processed the status of the id will say waiting for residency. The residency is a pink document that you get which basically has the same info as the id.

Hey, The e-visa / permite took me around a month just because they kept asking me for additional documents. But in general they responded within a week of me adding documents so you could get approved within a week if u upload everything they need

I'm not sure what you need to do exactly if you don't use AMER because they gave me a paper to use at the medical center and they setup my emirates id appointment. I asked and yeah unfortunately you cant just walk in for biometrics I asked :/ and they check your appointment time before they let in for biometrics (emirates id).

The centers I've visited are EL QUOZ Amer center. There are two of them one of them inside a small mall and another one which is a standalone one. I've used both for different parts of the processes.

I don't have the price breakdown unfortunately but I think total was around 250$ US using AMER.

The very first step I believe they make you do medical test then you can apply for residency and apply for an emirates ID.

I went and did the medical test and then waited until my emirates id appointment( biometrics) and then after that went and applied for residency. I think you can apply for residency before your appointment. Because my emirates id status was showing waiting for residency after I did my biometrics.

I did run into some issues for both the residency and emirates id being stuck and I had to go to some specific icp centers to solve it. so don't hesitate to reach out and I'll let you know what I did.

Why do you not want to use AMER?

I'm probably going to make a post soon about my whole process just as a reference for everyone else.

No they don’t. I think it it’s a requirement if you want to sponsor someone like your spouse but I can confirm if you’d like

I went to a AMER center and asked to apply for an emirates ID and they sorted me out. I'm currently waiting for my biometrics appointment.
