The problem with Customs and Border Protection is the attitude. They do have a challenging job. 99%+ of travelers are legit and doing nothing nefarious. They have to pick out the ones who are not legit/up to no good. I have no problem with them asking questions of myself or other travelers, even a lot of questions.

The problem is the attitude and abusive nature of their conduct. I have had this experience a couple times and one time with my mother and I am a citizen.
Plenty of other countries have customs/border agents that quiz you without attacking or belittling you.
Technology isn’t always a route to progress
I'd argue that someone with CS fundamentals doesn't necessarily tell me how adaptable someone is. Many times, the depth isn't there to strongly indicate one way or another. Adaptability is a difficult thing to try to assess.

I say this as someone working for another FAANG whose HQ is not too far away from Google's, and as someone who spent 4 years in a math PhD program.

However the authority using "border zone" justification for a warrantless search must also have probable cause to believe you have recently crossed the border.
Sorry who would be laughed out of the room and for what? It wasnt clear to me from what you wrote

Also I found it interesting that Germans perceive the US as overly litigious but I found an article that said Germany has more lawsuits (per capita? In absolute totals?), funny how perception takes a long time to catch up to various forms of reality
I just went through their SDK docs.

Looking at their guides, the app APIs usability is a joke from Android point of view, even Tizen has better docs.

Because sometimes they buy a new computer and it is a while before I am able to visit them across the planet and install a new OS in it. Would really like a good out of the box experience.

We need to stop concentrating on individual causes and acknowledge all pollutants in the air we breathe in of certain sizes cause cancer.

Be it mines or cigarettes or campfires or sitting at roadside dinning.

The lie nicotine and chemicals from cigarettes caused cancer might have saved millions. But it's stopping the progress of savings the next millions.
Agreed not necessary in the demo, but should acknowledge this in the cost information.

That's all still speculation, isn't it? IIRC this tunnel was built with a boring machine from a competitor.
While I'm not in a position to test it, I've thought for a while that companies should save their bugs, make an app that is similar enough to the work that these saved-off bugs can be put into it, then compare the candidate solutions with what your existing people came up with.
I thought it was obvious this would quickly become an expensive express option. It's not going to fix traffic for the masses, it's going to fix it for the rich.
Most people in your room? In reality you know race by persons face. Is face a social construct?
I thought this, too, but apparently a small device with an installed battery can be checked. Specifically, you can check a device with an installed battery of up to 100 watt hours. If the battery is loose, it has to be carried on. If is larger capacity, it might need special approval.

So did anybody call a lawyer like he asked? Reminds me of the movie Trading Places where Eddie Murphy asked for a lawyer and all of the aristocrats coughed and turned away

My rehearsed line is “you in the <distinctive clothes> I’ll split the settlement with you if you record this and call a lawyer!”

Gotta disrupt the bystander syndrome by calling out a particular person

And provide the financial incentive
It works at highway speeds (though the max you can set it to is 90mph). I think if you're going faster than 90 it may hold that speed, but it won't accelerate above 90 on its own.
I think your last sentence should say “without”, not “with”.
Only when they are outside a device. So checking in a laptop with a battery is fine, checking in only the battery is not.

However last time I checked (few years ago) there was also a wattage limitation to that, batteries below 99watt/hour could be checked in. A phone battery is about 10watt/hour, laptop 100-200wh.
Sure it’s not density of subway but more tunnels will partially offset lower capacity. This is about lowering tunnel & ‘station’ construction by ~2 orders of magnitude. There’s also lots of room underground to build vs surface, so little constraint there.

Lowering cost is Elon’s demonstrated strength (SpaceX rockets and Tesla batteries), so gotta factor that in. Small tunnels cost way less than subway tunnels, not factoring in improvements in boring ops. It’s all about shaving off 2x here and 5x there across the whole system to make it cheap enough to get benefits.

Lower cost let’s you open up new routes to lower density areas. Means cars can get off the road from those areas which would otherwise contribute to traffic.

This is like going from mainframes to personal computers - enabled by lower cost, more people can have access.

LA metro has a tough job in their hands with handling their traffic and is likely behind this. It’s not trying to be or marketed as a direct substitution for subway, it’s another option that happens to compare favorably but be implemented in a different way and by different parties.

Alternative comparison is to freeway which has 1 car every 2 seconds, and this claims 1 car a second on main path.
yes, edited, thanks.

Self-defense I would call this move of Google: Some weeks ago I stumbled upon a win 10 laptop I should set up for family. As soon as I installed Firefox, windows started bugging me with popups like "We encountered you use an third party browser. This might pose a serious security thread - do you want to switch to Edge?" and stuff about this browser slowing down the system along with urging me to switch to Edge. Microsoft just still exploits its market share - so why shouldn't Google do the same to counter?
America hasn’t fought a defensive war in awhile, the last few wars were about projecting power. A less charitable way of putting it would be: ever since Vietnam the US war machine seems to be concerned principally with bombing poor people in other countries, why should we support this?

Also unlike Israel the US is in a pretty good location defense-wise, surrounded by allies and two oceans, and with the worlds largest nuclear arsenal. I think we’re good..
The rules you mention are very localized, and granular on sub-social level. Me & my friends across the country may follow similar rules, but my next-door neighbours will follow different rules.

Alas, money is always an overriding concern. Your adherence to local cultural regulations may or may not buy you good karma, but that karma is not redeemable beyond your current social group. You won't pay for supplies out of it, and you won't build your house with it. But you can do that with money, regardless of where you are. So money tends to displace everything else out of sheer utility. Of course it can't substitute for every social interaction, but then you also don't want to run scarcity economy on karma.
This is a very nice experiment that demonstrates very fundamental physics. However, the measurements conducted by the author do not show entanglement but merely that photons are emitted simultaneously in opposite directions with perpendicular polarization. To get closer to showing entanglement, you would really have to show a violation of the Bell inequalities, which are mentioned briefly at the end of part two.
Generally speaking tunnels are much safer than outside due to the lack of falling debris. And the fire issue is solved my any half decent sprinkler / ventilation system.

Don't use fingerprint or face unlock. Passcode/pattern only.
Well even if it weren't higher capacity, it has other advantages -- no parking/leaving the car, potentially no ticket gates or waiting for a train... etc.

Trying new ideas isn't a waste of everyone's time, it's research.
To the point they don't even like you texting your travel companions inquiring about the delay. Because of these horror stories, I use my phone's ability to disable the TouchID reader forcing the 18 character pass code to be used when returning to the US. On entry of a foreign country, I shut it down completely.
I'd love to have this in my living room as the primary stereo, just for the aesthetic quality.
Any observable can be entangled. There is nothing special about spin. In fact in "real" entanglement experiments the entangled observable is polarization, not spin.
I'm not sure my math classes ever actually mentioned that particular notation. I agree it's more elegant to formalize the analysis, but it's not particularly elegant on the webpage -- the kerning feels off.
I would want to know how the software works before really trusting it. Like, I am aware since XP (NT?) Windows has had some ability to drop privileges, but I have no idea what the Windows API offers for isolation. If it were to use a solution like patching NTDLL routines in memory it would be escapable by syscalling manually, so surely that can't be it. What is the magic API they can use to sandbox and isolate IPC, files, the registry?
If worse comes to worst, they can become a credit rating agency.

Ask HN: On-premise secure alternatives for common tools
I'm looking to move away from online services for some projects, and I was wondering what the HN community uses as alternatives for some tools. I'm obviously willing to compromise on quality.

The ones my team uses daily is (with some alternatives I know):

- Google docs - the main importance is easiness of use and real-time collaboration. I know of Etherpad, CodiMD and the like. If collaborating with remote, end-to-end encryption will be needed.
- Video chat with remote people - I know of jit.si.
- Git - I know Keybase's encrypted git, and you can always install GitLab locally.
- LaTeX - this is maybe an odd one, since we just git the tex docs, but if there's a good tool for that, I'd be happy.
- Google drive - for sharing files end-to-end encrypted. Keybase works for that.

What is the dream bundle?
Hmm, I did. But her bottle was a leftover from a wedding several months ago (because we're connected on IG perhaps? Seems like quite the stretch though).

Also surely advertising the same wine I just bought to me is... dodgy ROI at best?

It'll remain a mystery forever.
The Saturn line had dealerships.
Instead of a factory-reset decoy phone or tablet, bring a lightly used decoy with enough fakeish stuff on it that it looks legit on casual inspection. Keep your real phone powered off, deeper in your luggage. No need to go though all that nonsense with hidden SD cards.

Be compliant with the border control people and offer up your decoy without complaint. You win if they don't search your stuff at all, and you win if they're satisfied with your faux compliance with the decoy. You only need to start to resist and demand your rights once they've shown an unusual interest in you and thoroughly search your stuff, but if they're doing that they probably had it in for you anyway.

There are almost no technical solutions. A freshly wiped phone or any clever encryption gimmick can raise suspicion and make things worse.

AFAIK companies are the exception, unsurprisingly. Some companies require laptop and phone wiping before travel, and if you can prove you are following company policy it might be OK.
German law allows predatory lawyers to file lawsuits on behalf of another party without their involvement. That level of BS thankfully doesn't happen in the US.
Anecdote:

About a year ago, I went through TSA and asked to opt out of the body scans in place of a pat down.

Another agent on the side watched the whole thing and made kissing faces my way the whole time while making gay jokes.

It was extremely belittling. Fuck TSA.
I set up a reoccurring donation of 10$ a paycheck to the EFF, it’s not much but it adds up, especially with company donation matching.
I think he is aiming to detect entangled pairs, things that others have proven entangled, rather than prove them entangled himself. For instance: a could chamber can detect a cosmic ray, but proving that it was a cosmic ray requires much more. That you can detect such things so simply, that you can manifest them in your home, is worth the effort.
It is not, per general EU regulations no 'single bore' tunnel can be longer than 1km (0.62miles0. Tunnels that are longer than that, either have to be double tunnels, with escape doors between them, or one large tunnel and an emergency smaller one.

This looks the size of a emergency tunnel. Still, the cost of building it seems pretty low. Boring Co could build two side by side, (one for each direction) and have emergency hatches between them.
Like the redesign.
The people that attack police have little overlap with those who attack regular people. Also, keep in mind police have their guns visible where they can be easily grabbed.

They may have to stop being in the car dealership business.

I went to go look at a volt a few years ago when they were new because it was unclear from GM's (terrible) marketing of it whether it actually had limited range or whether it could run on gas alone.

The ads kept advertising its range, which I found odd if you could just refuel, and it wasn't clear if it needed some battery for the generator to work or not. It was early on so search results were inconclusive.

The dealer I went to didn't know anything about the car, if it could run on gas alone, how the generator worked, etc.

Tesla's move was smart - the dealership model won't survive the transition to autonomous EVs and if they don't go gracefully they'll probably take the old car manufacturers down with them.

Just look at GM - while they bought Cruise and have the long range (ugly) Bolt they've relegated the really great Cruise tech to only a few models with over complicated controls and they're not focused on the EVs. I'd guess somebody over there knows that this is an existential risk for them, but they need somebody at the top that understands it.
As others have pointed out, this is not wrong. It can be argued, and I (currently) believe it to be true, that industrial societies only happened because of money. The scale at which humans operate seems to be related to the scalability of their monetary system.

Reputation/social karma as a currency is hyper-localized and isn't able to cover all your needs; without modern technology, it doesn't even scale beyond Dunbar number-sized villages. Barter is O(n!) with respect to amount of things you might need, so it doesn't scale well with progress of technology. The abstraction of money was the (in retrospect) obvious solution.
This is not a sandbox. All this does is launch windows in hyper-v virtual machine and configures the virtual environment automatically for you.

You could achieve all of this yourself manually and you still wouldn't call it a sandbox, you would call it VM.
This will be a bit of a sidetrack, but I find this interesting. I work for a Danish muniplacity, and we do BI on a lot of things, one of them is various degrees of employee performance, but because we're the public sector, we also do a great deal of research on how these benchmarks are viewed by employees and managers. We have extremely detailed tools for viewing week-to-week performance, progression, regression and changes over the year and we have an entire team dedicated to presenting this data in a way that managers can understand and use it to help their employees do better.

Only our internal research into the effects of this, shows that things haven't really changed that much. If you enter a performance review on a good story about a recent success, that will mean a lot more than your statistical data. This is true even if a success story is only viewed as a success inside your own team, but not necessarily by the organisation. So we're spending all these resources on building BI, that makes it easier for managers to engage their employees, but it's still the old traditional ways that count, and that means recency bias as you call it, is still really important, even when it shouldn't be.
Here in Copenhagen, little shelves have been added to public trash cans, so you can put your empty bottles/cans there, instead of throwing them in, if you don't want to return them.

That way, there's no need to rummage through the trash, possibly making a huge mess.

I had a semester of Java and AWT programming at the university. The professor was really good. My final project got a good grade. But after it was over, I knew I'd never touch Java again: any language where I needed to instantiate three different objects just to output a single message to the screen is crap.

Available libraries or lack thereof were never criteria by which I judge a language. Chalk that one up to competing against other coders on the scene. If someone disasembled one's intro code and found that one were using pieces of someone else's code, one instantaneously lost face and would never be able to live it down. It was plagiarism. 35 years later those same people still get derided and laughed at. It's considered extremely lame, because it means one wasn't capable of writing one's own routines. This is elitist in the extreme and those are the stakes for making it to the elite programming circle that is the scene. I'm perfectly fine with that, under the motto "it's lonely at the top". And that's as it should be. IT doesn't need more programmers producing so much bloated garbage; it needs the best programmers producing small, light and fast software that's a joy to use to its users.

So for me, having been tempered by such an elitist, competitive environment, library availability is never important. I understand that open source is different and I understand the advantage of not duplicating code, so if it's already been written and if it is good, clean code I'll use it, but I've no qualms about rolling my own.

I would never allow for library availability to influence my choice of a programming language: the language must stand on its own, including how easy it is for the system administrator to install and upgrade my application during its software managent lifecycle.

As programmers we should never make it easy or convenient for ourselves at the expense of complicating users' life or wasting their time. Never ever is that excusable.
Most Americans don't protect their data, because most Americans aren't potentially going to be set up by their government to be made to look like some kind of terrorist.

If you happen to be non-white or non-christian or have such as family or who live in a majority Muslim country, then you probably do want to protect yourself against this eventuality. In that case, either bring a dumb/brick phone for them to search, or bring a smartphone which has data on it, but nothing you care about. Don't jump through a lot of hoops to try to fool them, because it'll look suspicious, and then you really aren't going to make your flight.
IMO. The p2p business model is problematic in this case.

1 People need to incentives to join a p2p network and certainly to contribute storage+bandwidth

1* Reliably and privacy issues makes this a bigger problem (though p2p may also be the solution, it's not easily achievable)

2 This can't easily happen without investment. Marketing + setup without "hassles" is not cheap

2* Given investment, what are the assets of the investors?
Sales people want sales, for the least investment of their time. If you come in wanting to buy an EV, that's what they are going to sell you. If you come in wanting "a car," sure they will try to steer you to whatever is currently the most profitable one for them.

In my experience, the car they try to sell you is the one you are looking at.
We’re talking concealed though. So if everyone used your simple thought process, the rational move would be to shoot everyone since you don’t know who has a gun.

When checking in baggage at the ticketing line, there is a list of things you cannot check, and they also read out a line when they are "courtesy checking" your carry on when the bins are full. This list include "smart" luggage with li-po batteries, they cannot be checked without removing the battery. They include e-cigarettes, and all sorts of other much less than 98Wh batteries. The manufacturers of batteries for professional cameras make 98Wh batteries specifically so they can be brought onto a plane. These are meant to be carried on and are not allowed to be checked. I used to shoot a lot of VR using GoPros. The pelican case had four 6-camera rigs with a spare body per rig totaling 28 cameras with li-po batteries. We were not allowed to check them as instructed by the ticketing agent.

What do all of these anecdotal stories mean?

Another example of this sort of hash function (where the hamming distance between the hashes of similar inputs will be small) is pHash[1]. I've been playing with it recently for deduping bit-different but perceptually-identical images, and it works pretty well and the low hamming distance property makes it dead simple to use.

Does it? “The majority of the developed world” has about as much violent crime or more depending on which country you examine. The only difference is that of course there is a lot less involving guns.
They’ll still detain you till you input your passcode. Or they’ll beat you with a rubber hose, if you’re in those parts of the world.
True. My concern (as a former Angelino) is what a ~2+ inch shear on the track would do to a vehicle traveling over 100mph. Lots of LA is on some fault or another that can cause these shears.

Maybe it’d just be a big thud and the car goes into limp mode. Worth modeling and having risk assessment on either way.
