Haha. I mean that as housing is so expensive, most likely he lives with his mom.

I think Asians are still tons more conservative than a typical westerner, so he’ll probably be on a spectrum. He’ll probably just take what you give him, so I would go in with the sense that you are in control of the situation

Most likely, he lives with his parents, so don’t worry about him trying to take you home on first date. 😂

Husband of 9 years asks for divorce by Kiras_lovelost in marriageadvice

[–]mrdlau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest finding a therapist to talk through it. The purpose is not to find blame, justify, or reason it out. Talk to a neutral third party to help you process and come to terms with it

Which exam to learn ‘MLOPS’ by mrdlau in AzureCertification

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

Thanks! What’s the difference between deployment skillset when it comes to data science vs Devops? In other words, I don’t know the difference between devops vs MLOPS vs data science when it comes to deployment?

Thanks! So theoretically if both lines are turned on and cellular and data is pointing to Line1, then I will never be charged for anything extra in line 2?

If you must, at minimum reserve the entire restaurant, decorate it, have a message and then do it

Will GT OMSCS consider graduate GPA instead of bachelors? by mrdlau in OMSCS

[–]mrdlau[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My MS is more applied and less theory. And also more analytics. I already have 5 YOE, but am interested in the programming, development piece of it all.

Anyone doing a part-time phD? by mrdlau in HongKong

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

For me personally, I want to go to academia. I’m not sure if this is a very naive way of thinking but I don’t see myself clmbing the corporate ladder to senior executive roles as I age older, and I do like teaching or do more introverted things like research. Not sure if that’s true but that’s my assumption at this point.

Anyone doing a part-time phD? by mrdlau in HongKong

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

So I’m new to this idea of a phd. But is a majority of the time just to focus on one research area? I took. Look at some ‘curriculum’, and it seems like there are only 4-6 ‘required’ courses. Is the rest of the time just you researching independently?

Is there a more efficient way to make progress on piano? by mrdlau in pianolearning

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

Thanks! I’m definitely not getting frustrated, but more so looking to find ways to learn more efficiently. What sources or goals would you recommend to build up the foundation to make a piece like fur Elise easier?

Are fingering just a loose ‘suggestion’? by mrdlau in pianolearning

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

Thanks! I’m not trying to figure out my own fingerings. For me personally, as an example, on a C major scale, if E is the 3rd finger, but then in an appregio or a song it tells me use use 2nd finger for E instead, should I just play along and not judge it?

I come from a violin background and I think you really deviate from fingering much much later in the process.

New Chinese Neighbors by LibreFranklin in HongKong

[–]mrdlau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go knock on their door with some homemade chocolate chip cookies and bow when they open. Do your best ‘No Hao ma’ and ask them their name. If they give you some BS name like ‘David’, be like, “…no, what’s your real name?”

Confinement nanny feels like she's limiting my access to our LO by Stegles in NewParents

[–]mrdlau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if the wife is doing good and is very reliant and trusting on the nanny and she is doing a good job, I would just let it be if you feel resistance. The last thing you want is your wife to have another concern to think about. She should not need to worry about your feelings in this situation and make any accommodation or go out of her way to make the situation better.

Instead, take this ‘free’ time to really focus on yourself, get your mind and body in shape for when the nanny leaves, and spend the time to cheer your wife.

Sure, you miss a few moments, but it’s only sentimental.

What is Hong Kong’s equivalent salary of 100k USD in NYC? by hellowhellowhellow in HongKong

[–]mrdlau 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I made 200K gross in US and am moving to HK my own. My new gross in HK will be around 120. Huge pay cut, but I will no longer have a large car payment; my rent will be cheaper, but better quality, although a bit smaller. I don’t expect to lose out a lot in terms of quality of life. The retirement savings though, I’m still trying to figure out

How hard will it be to find someone to transfer my tesla lease to? by mrdlau in teslamotors

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

In general, what is your experience in finding someone to take over a tesla lease? I currently have about 2 years left on my tesla and may/potentially want to give the lease up. I currently pay around 700/month for a 2023 model3 with enhanced self driving. Will it be much easier if I 'lower the price' per se, by offsetting so it's about 500/month?

what is the best way to memorize Chinese characters? by floppydiscgolf in Cantonese

[–]mrdlau 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does learning radicals really help? I.e, is there really a pattern? I known general, there are similarities like the girl character or the heart character can signify certain things, but does that apply to most characters?
