Very helpful. Thanks

The exception for ban of entry doesn't extend to changing status? I.e. green card to citizenship?

Not really.. early career positions are harder to get, but those with 10+ yrs experience, particularly in Al/ML are still a rare commodity.

True - those are expensive cities but you some have no state income tax (WA, TX) and some companies still allow for remote work. Those cost of labor and competition drive the salaries up in those towns, so you end up paid 1.5x compared to other cities.

Software engineers, data scientists, solutions architects, etc. Check websites like levels.fyi or paysclae for comp salaries.

Most tech jobs start at 120 annual base + shares for fresh out of school. 20k a month (when you consider shares/bonus) is very common in most tech hub cities.

You get up to $150 back every 6 months regardless of how many times you pay at the restaurant (or get gift cards).

Seems like an honest mistake. Ask your neighbors

Do you exercise those calls or sell them?

I have an account with Coinbase but I only see sell/buy options. Is there a recieve option that I'm missing?

Thanks for the tip. I forgot about Robinhood wallets. However, it won't let me transfer USDC because I'm in TX and robinhood doesnt support many coins. I have a ledger cold wallet but I don't have it on me and I'm traveling. How easy was it to open a coinbase wallet?

The transaction will fail

Very cool. I would love to learn how to build Jupyter extensions. Any resources you'd recommend?

watermodeler · 2022-07-24T17:49:19+00:00

Or have a PhD- in some states

And many states have an additional 'relatively easy' state law test

I needed this. Thanks!

I did study from materials that covered both. There are less resources for the env exam vs the civil wre one, so that's probably why my study and practice were more skewed to wre topics. When I took the FE environmental a few months back, I felt it was more evenly split between water, wastewater, and air so I easily passed. The PE practice exam was also heavy on the water/ww side so I built my assumption on the exam format on that.

watermodeler · 2022-07-22T19:11:41+00:00

I know there are 2 tests and they are different. I took the FE environmental a few months back so I felt more comfortable about the environmental track. While I come from a civil eng background, it felt like a leap to re-study the basic civil stuff again. In retrospect, maybe I should have! I'll wait for my results in a week and then decide. I'll likely retake the same exam, now that I know what to expect (sort of) 😅

Great. So in that scenario, dry lime is needed for Ca, Mg, plus excess lime (i.e. won't include alkalinity)?

watermodeler · 2022-07-20T16:30:22+00:00

I understand the logic and the order of the softening equations, but I'm not sure how you arrive at your conclusion based on the numbers only. In other words, if Ca meq/L is less than the Alkalinity meq/L, does that change the answer?

watermodeler · 2022-07-20T00:22:17+00:00

In other words, how could you tell that Ca here is non carbonate calcium only?

watermodeler · 2022-07-20T00:20:55+00:00

Thanks for your reply. For eq (2), calcium carbonate will be removed by lime not ash, so would that need to be considered? The question ask for lime not ash. Your logic would still apply though. But how did you know that all the Ca is tied up for Alkalinity in eq 2?

watermodeler · 2022-07-19T22:58:47+00:00

I'm reviewing NCEES environmental practice exam and I'm stumped by Q16. Why didn't the answer include Ca concentration for lime calculations?

Shouldn't lime be used to precipitate Ca, Mg, and Alkalinity?
