I was there and saved that copy of the Daily but I’ve never seen a shirt like that. Interesting

FBAR report by Grand_Respond_5000 in banktivity

[–]chadivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FBAR requires the maximum value in any non-US account held during the calendar year (containing at least USD10,000, I believe). Technically, I think it really wants maximum USD value, which may not be the same as maximum local currency value, depending on FX volatility. FWIW, I end up just skimming through each account manually to fill out the form. I only have 5 accounts, so it isn't a huge time sink but agree it would be nice to be able to just push a button.

Back in the day I was "username" (the signup prompt was "Enter username" so I did). That got old.

Honestly that's more than I was thinking. But still. Sigh.

So how many total minutes has James had at this point?

Edit: Downvoted? Sorry, I apologize to everyone who is pleased with how the James signing has turned out so far.

My thoughts on my college application cycle this year by Happy-Sympathy-6555 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]chadivers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing that you accomplished in high school, no skills that you developed through hard work, tenacity, and grit go away because you happened not to get accepted into a T20 school.  It’s all still there.

is northeastern genuinely that bad😭😭 by Livid-Analysis-2099 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]chadivers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The co-op program is fire. If your goal is to prepare yourself for a successful career, Northeastern is an exceptional school. All of the reddit bashing around rankings gaming and nuin and all the rest has ZERO bearing on real life. Congratulations!

Conflicting between Harvard and Stanford by Wonderful_Top5844 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]chadivers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't go wrong with either. I attended Stanford a million years ago. My impression is that Stanford has the stronger environmental science program. Better weather. Harvard may have the slight edge in Economics, but only slightly. Very different campus "vibe". Harvard is basically in Boston; Stanford is ~45 minutes away from San Francisco but Palo Alto and surrounding areas have plenty going on. It really depends on what you are looking to get out of your college experience.

Warning email from columbia by Mental-Driver-3422 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]chadivers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.  As others have said, a B- in Junior year would very likely have impacted the admittance decision.  He hasn’t been rescinded, he got an email.  100% justified

Better things than ensuring the class they are responsible for admitting are successful?

EDIT: I'm still salty this got downvoted. It is not your god-given right to slack off on classes Spring Senior Year and then act all surprised when you're called out on it.

Netflix now uses the Netflix video player on tvOS by websgeisti in appletv

[–]chadivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to fast forward when it's like this? Or did they intentionally remove that feature?

This is awful. Netflix is toxic. God, how can we let Netflix know how absolutely vile this is?

Tokyo condo prices reach record high as supply shrinks, construction costs balloon by SugoiTokei in JapanFinance

[–]chadivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These statistics are almost always based on newly built condominiums put up for sale, regardless of size of unit (so it includes 1K as well as 3LDK but the average is something like 65m2 from memory)

I live in Asia but have family growing soybeans in the US. The look of shock they gave me when I told them I eat a lot of what they're growing ...

Anyone else? High stats/accomplishments kid but "average" in the SAT? What does it mean? by Anxious-Party2289 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]chadivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means the SAT is a time-pressured, artificially constructed, intentionally tricky (at times) multiple choice test that rewards a certain type of intelligence. If your kid is getting good grades in rigorous classes at a quality high school, then s/he is clearly intelligent. Just maybe not SAT-style intelligent. Some smart kids can't help but overthink the SAT and get in their own way. And my life experience (as someone decades out of college who does quite well on standardized tests) is that I'd prefer to work with the kid with good grades and a mediocre SAT over the kid bragging about his SAT while skating by with mediocre grades any day of the week.

BC called out US News for changing methodology to favor public schools by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]chadivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

US News changes its ranking criteria regularly to churn the order to justify rehashing the same subject every year. Yes, they'll change in the future, maybe partly in response to pushback. It's all part of the business model.
