As a followup:
1. Global Entry (international travel precheck for American permanent residents and citizens) is $120 and includes TSA precheck.
2. The high-tier credit cards (Amex Plat, Chase Sapphire Reserve) give you credits for Global Entry and/or TSA Precheck. They cost in ~$600, but my Amex Plat pays for itself with:
- Global Entry for wife, parents (as authorized users)
- Uber credit $15/month
- Clear at the airport- I stacked a coupon and got my wife and I Clear for the price of one
- Streaming app reimbursement
I am not a paid shill, I just like saving people money (Getting a fancy credit card is more of a break-even venture honestly)
A fancy credit card is pretty worth it if you travel more than once or twice a year. Airport lounge access, travel insurance for sufficient delays or overnights, longer purchase warranties, cell phone insurance, rental car perks and so on. It’s not really about the money so much as the quality of life and peace of mind perks it offers. And seconding precheck or GE, it’s the best extortion money I’ve ever paid.
Global Entry is available to those from some other countries too. IIRC there used to be a threshold for the minimum number of entries in the previous year or so, but it looks like they've opened it up now.
For people unwilling to invest in Global Entry, Mobile Passport Control [0] is a free program almost as fast as GE at the airports that support it. At the moment it's still sort of a lesser-known "travel hack" but it's becoming increasingly popular.
In my opinion though GE + TSA Pre is still worth it — the only thing better than the shorter preflight security screening is the even shorter GE kiosk line re-entering the US.
Yes! Especially if you have kids -- minors go through TSA pre-check lines with parents with pre-check, even if the kids don't have pre-check on their own.
Management ideas always sound incoherent for the reason in the article; there are no standards and it is seen as an art. The article is attempting (May be unsuccessfully to add some structure). Point is conceded about conflating people management vs decision making. They overlap (ie same person might be responsible for both), but are independent disciplines
This would be similar to “cannot push release because builds are broken”. These rules become useful only after critical level of agreement and adoption
It looks like according to the notebook recepies that it's actually working at the sentence level (despite your claim). The way you train these is to mark a sentence as "1" or "0" based on if it's selected.
Oh well, the world waits longer for a word-level (willing to skip around in sentences) and grammatically correct extractive summarizer. You got my hopes up though.
