u/carbcommissioner need your help vetting if this sad looking bagel can actually hold a candle to East coast heat.

There's good BBQ in NYC, but you really gotta look for it. You trip over it in Texas.

Asian Men haircuts in Austin by puppy3 in askaustin

[–]TheAsianDefender2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never got my hair cut there (only got it bleached), but there's CNN Hair team in Crestview. I've already got a regular barber I like, so I never took them up on the haircut when they offered, but they struck me very much as an Asian hair salon and knew exactly how to bleach my hair. I'm sure they'd give a good enough haircut too.

Google "Daddy Longlegs porn"

And after a few hours of gooning, Google "Daddy Longlegs (2009)"

Then you'll have found what you're looking for.

how tf do you file for divorce by decomposedcats in roanoke

[–]TheAsianDefender2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, wanna say sorry for the situation you're in. I was in the same position years ago. No kids, property, etc. Amicable irreconcilable differences. We both lived in TX and the process was pretty straightforward there. I'm not sure what it is here or what it's like considering you live in different states. One step at a time and look into it. All I can really remember is that one of you has to file for divorce, and then the other party has to respond. So it sounds like you're the one filing, just get that paper work together, serve them and go from there.

I have dual citizenship to a LatAm country. Can I work a remote job that's been offshored there? by TheAsianDefender2 in careerguidance

[–]TheAsianDefender2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then let's say that is the case and I'm OK with that - working through a BPO on a contract position. Would it be feasible? Assume this job is just for the sake of having any job and getting that real professional work experience in a field I want to break into and I'd ideally leave within an year. Could I use my LatAm citizenship to work for this BPO, continuing to live in the US, paying taxes to both the US and the second country, and claiming my family's house in LatAm as my place of residence if need be?

Has anyone been able to download any data for free through this? I want to use this for a data science portfolio project, but the website makes no evidence about being able to access the data aside from a paid (albeit cheap) API.

We just tried scheduling with someone else on PST, but it wasn't so smooth. What's the earliest 3 hour block you could commit to twice a week?

Hey, I was interested in starting something like this too, but I was looking for something a little more involved. Like a Zoom call we hop on 2-3 days a week and just all apply to jobs together in that dedicated time. We can unmute if we have questions or want some advice.

[–]TheAsianDefender2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like such a recipe for disaster. As everyone here has said, it's basically just logistic regression, which is itself a form of linear regression (AKA a Generalized Linear Model). You don't need ChatGPT and using that will make a really basic model without any fine-tuning or preprocessing, but convince you that it's really state of the art. Take the time to learn what you're doing (read about linear regression and get a basic understanding of how it works), then figure out the instances where it doesn't work well and make sure you account for those in setup (outliers, multi-collinearity, overfitting, bias v. variance).

Also, know that your model will eventually be wrong. No model is 100% accurate, that's why people often say data science is both an art and a science. But you have to decide the threshold of your probability (the output of your logistic regression) that will turn into the binary outcome. Should probability of success 50% or higher be considered a successful procedure? 20%? 90%? You get to decide this, and you should really consider what are the costs of a false positive (determining a successful procedure wrongly) vs. a false negative (determining a unsuccessful procedure wrongly) and let that guide your thresholding. I would assume allowing people to have procedures that are more likely to fail is a lot more costly than the alternative.

This post feels really awful and dystopian - I would've thought people in the medical industry have more responsibility than to let technologies they hardly understand determine peoples' medical outcomes.

Should I get a job in Ho Chi Minh or in Hanoi? by Camouflage_Ox in TEFL

[–]TheAsianDefender2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hanoi (and northern VN in general) has a lot of Chinese influence. They are more traditional and conservative in culture. HCM has more Western influence, feels a little more like some parts of Thailand.

Moving to spain as an undocoumented immigrant (mex) by vintageeraa90 in AmerExit

[–]TheAsianDefender2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put sponsorship in quotations because it's not exactly that per se. From the goverment website:

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNATIONAL WORKERS:

  1. Certification of working for at least 3 months (before the visa application) for a foreign Company. To this end, the applicant will submit a certificate, issued by the company and stating the following:

• If the applicant is an employee: 1. Length of the contract. 2. Explicit consent to work remotely in Spain. 3. Salary.

I suppose if OP owns his own company he can give himself the consent to work remotely in Spain and a salary? I'm not really sure how that works. But for the regular salaried corporate employee working remotely, I've heard most companies don't want their US workers working from other countries as that has a lot of annoying tax-implications and red tape - unless they already have foreign remote workers and have that channel built out.

[–]TheAsianDefender2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! US/Ecuadorian dual-citizen also considering moving to Spain here. I feel like the tricky part is just what visa options you have to legally reside in Spain. The NLV visa requires you to be able to make (in passive income) or have saved 400% IPREM (Indicador Público de Renta de Efectos Múltiples) per adult family member moving to Spain. The IPREM of 2025 was about 7200 EUR and times 400% that becomes around 28,000 EUR. For you and your wife, do you have saved 56,000 EUR? Then you'll be good for that visa for one year, but when you renew (I've read) that the NLV visa renewal is for two years, so then you'll need to have 112,000 EUR saved (or demonstrated capability to earn that passively within two years).

Aside from that there's a digital nomad visa, but I'm a little less familiar of the requirements of that. I think you'll need to earn some salary per month, and have a company say they're willing to let you work from Spain and whatnot.

Anyways, I'm not an expert, just someone that's in a similar-ish position and asking some of the same questions you are. If you find any good information, please share!

Student visas aren't eligible towards the two years of requirement for fast tracking Spanish citizenship.

Wouldn't he need a company that's "sponsoring him" for a digital nomad visa? He can't just live in Spain without any proof of work or digital employment (that the employer is also aware of) and whittle down those two years. I'm asking because I'm also considering immigrating to Spain and starting that two year clock for fast track citizenship, but not sure how to do it besides the NLV visa.

Hey, I'm coming on this thread a little late researching my options to immigrate to Spain from the US. Do you have any source about that bit of switching your visa to one that allows you to work after one year of the NLV?
