How it was measured:
> Both countries sent teams to climb the mountain using GPS and also trigonometry to make the final calculations.
> “Once the surveyor’s beacon had been placed on the summit, surveyors at stations around the summit measured the distance from the six points to the beacon, which meant at least six triangles could be calculated to determine the mountain’s height,” Jiang Tao, associate researcher at the Chinese academy of surveying and mapping, told the state-run China Daily.

Re:Ask HN: What was your most productive (day|week|month|year) ever?

Chemotherapy was accompanied with steroids (to help with sickness) which made me stay awake almost all day. Instead of taking more meds to help with sleep, I had many productive nights working on an iOS hobby project.

It seems the requirement has been relaxed a bit:
"Puerto Rico Senate Bill 864 increases the potential impact of Act 22 by expanding who qualifies for the tax break. Prior to this legislation, Act 22 was only applicable to new migrants to Puerto Rico who had not been residents for the 15 year period before the Act went into effect in January 2012. That period has now been reduced from 15 to 6 years."

When I made the appointment in the LASIK center, I did it through QualSight LASIK instead of directly with the center. That center offered discounted rates if booked through QualSight.
