A rice ball place, Tenori, opened up at University Town Center a few weeks ago. We’ve been there a few times and it’s pretty good. It is almost always empty when we’ve been so I hope things pick up for them when UCI is starts up again after the summer.

Thanks for sharing that. I found a few things interesting: - The UK has a relatively high amount leaving given that their population is ~70M. White flight? - The UAE (population ~9M) and Singapore (population ~6M) influxes are incredibly high but both are small, wealthy city states known for...

How likely do you think this is?

Just felt a second earthquake after the first one about 10 minutes ago... whoa!

Sold for $380k over asking! $1200/sq ft for a Zero Lot Line, detached single story https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/42-Sunlight-92603/home/4745082

Yup, definitely a premium area and single-story. Seeing homes in Irvine sell for so much over listing is still not as common as in the Bay Area (e.g., Cupertino) but it seems to be happening more often lately here.

This topic makes me think about something similar at work. At my work (which has < 10k employees), in an attempt to be fair and transparent, all kinds of internal, company paid costs are allocated to employees. This is done by paying people to come up with complicated policies and then paying...

Yeah, I think it is exactly that. If your gain is $1M, instead of receiving all $1M in the year you sold and then having to pay a lot of taxes on it at a high rate.. the $1M would go into this deferred trust and then you would schedule it to pay you $100k per year or 10 years.

The Model S and Model X are the high end Teslas and they started under $100k since they debuted (2012 for Model S, 2015 for Model X). Certain performance trims have started above $100k at various times but currently start under $100k. Since 8/31/2023, the high performance Model S Plaid...

I just tried Presotea and thought it was pretty good. I liked the freshness of the boba. https://www.yelp.com/biz/presotea-irvine-irvine-3

Does that work for car keys?

Oh man, sorry to hear all this hassle you have to go through! The dysfunction in our systems is something else..

Sad, but true. The brand is definitely a signal to employers. The brand universities would be risking their reputations by offering their credentials to 10x more students. I'm pleasantly surprised that the CS Masters program at Georgia Tech is still ranked well.

I'm saying.. find ways to increase or get rid of the cap. Yeah, not everyone is going to be able to do certain programs but there are way more that are capable of it than are admitted.

You were 100% right about how Georgia Tech trended! After years of thinking about Columbia/Stanford/USC's Distance Learning/Online Masters in CS and not doing it because of the cost (~$65k is what I recall), I was elated to hear about Georgia Tech offering OMSCS (~$7k). I finished the program in...

I believe Georgia Tech admits all those that they think will be able to complete the program. This has increased the number of CS Master's degrees awarded tremendously (they graduated 10,000 alumni in their first 10 years). Instead of capping majors, I wish the UCs would find solutions to...
