I get paid and the new owner takes possession. I have to disclose and problems with the house in a seller's disclosure, but no special notification is required for any work I have done myself. It's common for buyers to hire a professional home inspector that will make sure everything works and look for signs of potential problems, including going in the attic (or crawl space if there was one) to look at utilities. They'll spot things that may not be up to current code and let the buyer know.
That depends on state and city laws. In a lot of places a homeowner is allowed to do any work themselves on their own home. So I could do electrical and plumbing work on my own house (and in fact I have), but I could not do electrical work on someone else's house or a commercial building without being a licensed electrician.
It's the law. The maximum hold is 9 business days, but that's only for new accounts; accounts older than 30 days can hold funds for at most 7 business days.
Here's the IRS page on the issue. Basically you won't owe any US tax on interest income as long as you don't work in the US or have other business interests in the US. However, since 2013 all US banks are required to report accounts of foreign nationals to the IRS if their country has an information sharing agreement with the US. This is not really for the IRS to tax you, but rather for the IRS to report your income to your home country so you can't hide US income from your country. See this page for more details and a list of applicable countries.
I've been voting 3rd party or independent for the last several presidential elections. People tell me I'm throwing my vote away. I tell them that voting for the two major parties and actually expecting something to change is throwing your vote away. I had to come to a place where I looked at the D and R candidates and decided that if whichever one I voted for won, then I would have to take responsibility myself that I helped put that person in power. I can't in good conscience live with that decision, so I vote 3rd party. Now, I still vote in the Republican primary because in large parts of Texas that is the real election for all of the local and state races (no Democrat is going to win if one even runs, which a lot of times they don't). But I don't have to vote for every spot on that primary ballot. And come November, I can vote for any completely different candidate that I want. I like to think of it as giving me two chances to replace some of our local politicians that I don't care for.
Absolutely. I like to know my boundaries, like which major roads, highways, or geographical features are in which directions. Then even if I end up on a road I'm not sure about I know I'll eventually run into one of those boundary features as long as I keep going in mostly the same direction.
I always like to look at my route in advance and have a basic idea of where I'm going in case GPS doesn't work correctly or there's some other issue. Also, I find the GPS voice annoying if I already know where I'm going, so I don't use it most of the time.
There are two things that I've found my phone's GPS really useful for. One is finding local restaurants, hotels, etc. The other is helping to avoid traffic jams. It's saved me hours of time in avoiding traffic. So even if I know the route, I usually check for traffic with my phone before committing.
The 27% in your first article is full-time tenure-track. The remaining 73% does include adjuncts, but there are also full-time non tenure-track positions, such as a yearly contract. I know because I have a friend in academia that has been doing those positions for a several years now. He at least is paid decently as a full-time position, but he has to essentially reapply every year and doesn't get paid as well as tenure-track positions. Several of those spots have been truly temporary positions (a permanent faculty on sabbatical or something), so he is pretty much job searching every year.
I have no idea how Uber works (never used it), but the problem you describe is easy enough to overcome by having a time limit to leave reviews. It should not take you more than a day to leave a review over your recent ride if you're going to bother with it. After the time passes, any reviews can be made available without worry about retaliation.
To clearly see a scene on a screen, you focus on the screen. To clearly see what's outside the car, you focus outside the car. One distraction is that your eyes have different points to focus on to see contiguous parts of the same screen. You don't really get to experience that distracting effect from a flat 2d picture or video of the system.
These folks have several open fonts that cover some lesser-used code points. They don't have a big font with everything, but the Doulos font has pretty good coverage for Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
I'm largely independent, but you'd better believe that I vote in every Republican primary in Texas. For a lot of local offices there is no opposition in the general election, so the Republican primary really is the real election. For offices where there is opposition in the general election, I look at it as a way to get two chances to unseat incumbents that I don't like.
And even that doesn't fully protect you; the drive can always eat the tape. It happened to me once when I needed to restore something. You plan, take good backups, even test them out, but when you need it is when the drive will fail and eat your latest backup tape.
EarthLED has several of LED bulbs for enclosed fixtures. I'm using an XLedia D100 in my kitchen with no problems. I've got a couple of Switch Infinia bulbs on order for a bathroom. Those ones are pretty new, relatively inexpensive, and come with a lifetime residential warranty.
The only issue I have with the bulbs is the size. Right now I've got a couple of enclosed fixtures that need a single 100W equivalent bulb, but none of the LEDs are small enough to fit. You should be able to find 60W equivalent and under that are comparable size to incandescents, but the 100W equivalent are not quite there. I'm not sure about the 75W equivalent ones. LEDs have been getting smaller over the past few years, so I expect that 100W equivalent bulbs will get small enough in the future.
The other bulb type that is hard to replace with LED is a 3-way bulb. Right now I am only aware of one 3-way LED bulb by Switch that's a 30/60/90W equivalent. I'm stuck with incandescent or CFL for my lamp that takes 50/100/150W for now.

I've been using a ReadyNAS NV from Infrant (company bought by Netgear) for a year and a half, and have had no troubles with it at all. It just works. When I wanted to increase capacity by adding another disk, I just hot-plugged in the drive, and it rebuilt the RAID array and increased the capacity automatically without any intervention other than a reboot after a couple of hours. And it sent me an email to let me know when to do that.

Anyone with a whit of sense has to know that under the current technology there is no way to tax email. If you want to tax the sender, there would have to be a way to absolutely identify the sender of the email, which there's not.
Can't be done? They could just talk to the NSA and AT&T! I'm sure the US would gladly help count all their email as long as they can read it too.
My father's hands shake some due to essential tremors, and he uses a trackball to overcome this. With a trackball he can position the cursor where he wants and then take his thumb off the ball while he clicks so he's sure to click the right spot. His hands aren't that bad though, so I'm not sure how this would work for someone with really shaky hands.
Maybe we'll try reading this straight from the article. What a novel thought!:
The Federal Communications Commission points specifically to the Federal Communications Act of 1934, which says that "no person shall willfully or maliciously interfere with or cause interference to any radio communications" licensed by the government.
"It is the F.C.C.'s authority and obligation to determine which transmissions are lawful," said Lauren Patrich, a spokeswoman for the commission's wireless bureau. "If the F.C.C. doesn't have that authority, then what's its point?" Fines for violations can reach $11,000 for a single offense.
As for the doctors, police, etc., (I don't really care about business people trying to make deals while at a theater) I guess these devices would be bad, but the main problem is that signs don't work, and people don't set their phones to vibrate. It's pretty funny when you're in a theater and someone's phone rings, and then 15 other people get theirs out to check it.

There are several LEDs now rated for enclosed fixtures.
