Except one time, I've only ever been asked one or two mundane questions that are already answered on the entry card. And that one time, was the second time I'd ever entered the U.S. with Global Entry. This was about 18 months ago.

I was out of the U.S. for about 2 weeks (3 countries). Back in the U.S. for a week. Then back out of the U.S. for a month (4 different countries). Either the first or second trip I'd say would have been ordinary for me. But combined and also with the gap was unusual but I didn't think about it as being unusual at the time.

Entry to the U.S. the first time, I had no contact with an agent, all automated, the slip of paper from the Global Entry machine said exit customs.

In London for the flight back to the U.S. (2nd time around), the gate agent told me I was on some list and I needed to check-in with a man nearby at a separate counter. I'm almost certain he was U.S. CBP. Definitely American. I don't think he was TSA or FBI. He asked my address in the U.S., where I was, and whether it was personal or business but not more than that, and opined "I have no idea why they're asking me to do this." This conversation was about 2 minutes.

12 hours later in Denver, Global Entry machines are down, I use the regular machines which spit out a similar slip but I had to go to a Global Entry specific agent manned lane, that agent swiped my passport and immediately asked me to come with him. He hands me off to an agent in a separate room with a waiting area for 30 people, no other people are waiting, and says "he's flagged from blah blah flight". And I get asked all the same questions as before except two: he did fish for more about the sequence of travel and cities, not just countries. I brought up my previous trip and one week gap in the U.S., and he opined "ahh that makes sense now" or to that effect. And that was it, total time maybe 5 minutes.

The information I gave was consistent with Passport and Global entry application, and entry card information. I can't think of one question that was not mundane. I assume all the countries I visited immediately communicate my entry/exit with U.S. CBP the moment my passport is scanned. They already know these things. Except for the cities and sequence.

Looking back on it, I'd have liked to ask a bunch of questions myself about this experience.

I'm not sure if the first agent in London, had I opted out, can inform the airline I'm "not cooperating" and as a courtesy don't board me? But I'm still curious about what got me flagged, and why the London guy was confused thinking it was out of the ordinary or unnecessary. Was it random? Was it a combination of the travel and Global Entry like "oh he gets global entry and then the travel behavior changes, flagged!" sort of logic.

Capitalism IS efficient, when considering the environment upon which its juxtaposed, and when compared with alternative economic systems/social orders that humanity has experimented with. Its miraculously efficient, in fact!

It's the "U" part. Taking money from the middle and upper classes just to give it back to them is inherently inefficient and entirely pointless.

Additionally, I disagree that it has been researched to death. People have infinite wants, and we have finite means. I would personally rather see this play out at a smaller level in reality (not a time limited trial that biases the outcome) before we go all in on 300 million people. And if we are not going to be replacing existing programs with it, I would rather not see it happen at all. That's my personal preferences based on what I currently know, at least.

I don't mean validation == determine which one is correct, I mean "make sure they agree" and don't trust them otherwise, which, as far as I can tell, is how other Boeing systems work?

I mean there's also the space shuttle system where you have N redundant systems controlling N separate motors (or whatever), and assume that if you'll never have >= N/2 producing incorrect output. That's a "no validation" approach that works by virtue of the correct instruments literally overpowering the incorrect ones.
As a rule, my dev environments are decoupled and have no non-local dependencies, 'cause I don't always work with an internet connection. So while I've liked Sentry at prior jobs and have consistently recommended it, I have not been using it personally on my own stuff. But recently, a number of projects I'm now working on require more elaboration on errors I've used I was just saying the other day "huh, I forgot about self-hosted Sentry, I can use that for development and I can pay them in production". But I guess I should track down another alternative that isn't going to add gigs and gigs of memory to a dev stack; I like Kafka and Zookeeper and all that as much as the next nerd but if my product doesn't need it I'm certainly not running it for an exception catcher.

The marketing spiel in this is pretty shitty, too. "You can evaluate whether you want us to handle this with the cloud!" I think I'd rather evaluate whether or not I want to use you.

As I said, my automatic recommendation has always been Sentry; I now need to reevaluate this. Any locally-hostable-for-dev,-SaaS-for-prod options I should be looking at?

"lox": From Yiddish לאַקס‎ (laks, “salmon”), from Old High German lahs, from Proto-Germanic lahsaz (“salmon”), from Proto-Indo-European laḱs- (“salmon, trout”). Cognate to Icelandic lax, German Lachs. More at lax.

It had a number of sound changes in between, and modern English "lox" just coincidentally resembles PIE's "*laḱs-". It should also be noted that the "k" is palatized, meaning it'd be pronounced more like "lakys" or "laksh".
I have used online tests for programming ability. I like them. The ones I have used are not hard, and are easy to look up the answers to in documentation (encouraged!). It’s a great way to filter out people who have no idea what they’re doing. I’ve gotten middle scores in tests for languages I don’t use, and I think that’s great. You cannot differentiate top performers with these kinds of tests. You can successfully weed out people who have no idea what’s going on. You should be able to pass on baseline individual competence if you’ve got it.
A New Book Argues That Generic Drugs Are Poisoning Us
First, I am not a lawyer. Yes, negligence can be tried as a criminal act, but there's no way this situation would pass the Justice Department's sniff test. Any negligence that would have happened almost certainly happened on US soil. Even though foreign governments are free to convict however they like, if the act happened on US soil and the US doesn't find you guilty of a crime, then there is no way they are handing you over. If in the unlikely case an executive is found guilty of a crime in the USA they would serve out their sentence in the USA first before extradition is considered. Even then, we'd be real reluctant to hand them over.

What I think is more likely to happen (but still unlikely) is that Boeing is penalized through corporate liability. The aggregation of the executives' actions create a responsibility for Boeing, although no single person's actions meet any criminal action. In that case the USA would fine Boeing or punish it in some other way, but I don't think that money is going to Ethiopia or Indonesia.

Lastly, since we don't have extradition agreements with either of those countries these arguments would probably not even come up, as we'd tell their embassy to go pound sand- we're not handing over American citizens until you reciprocate with us, prove that your courts are not kangaroo courts, and sign an extradition agreement. And there's no way we're signing one- you think the Trump administration is going to sign an extradition agreement with either of those countries? No, these guys are going to skate.

I'm about halfway through "When, The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing" and it references many studies and topics relating to, obviously, timing. Many hospitals have implemented mandatory break schedules to combat this. An interesting read so far, recommended if you enjoy the linked article from the HN post.

And direct from the author some insights from the book:

'Afternoons are the Bermuda Triangles of our days. Across many domains, the trough represents a danger zone for productivity, ethics, and health. Anesthesia is one example. Researchers at Duke Medical Center reviewed about 90,000 surgeries at the hospital and identified what they called “anesthetic adverse events”— either mistakes anesthesiologists made, harm they caused to patients, or both. Adverse events were significantly “more frequent for cases starting during the 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. hours.” The probability of a problem at 9 a.m. was about 1 percent. At 4 p.m., 4.2 percent. In other words, the chance of something going awry was four times greater during the trough than during the peak. On actual harm (not only a slip up but also something that hurts the patient), the probability at 8 a.m. was 0.3 percent — three-tenths of one percent. But at 3 p.m., the probability was 1 percent — one in every one hundred cases, a threefold increase. Afternoon circadian lows, the researchers concluded, impair physician vigilance and “affect human performance of complex tasks such as those required in anesthesia care.”'

I am told I am annonyingly centrist. While not 'extremist' in the casual sense, I very much see a hard bias to the left that often seem unfettered by the facts by NPR. BBC seems to have its own agenda, however not quite 'left' by american standards. Read any recent Brexit coverage to see the worrying doublespeak that seems to be de rigour today nevertheless. Before you ask, I honestly am unaware of any news org without bias, although many have enough writers and/or a soft hand to obscure systemic detection by casual readers. Everyone who works hard to publish something, by proxy seems to have an agenda beyond factual reporting. If they well-meaning or not seems almost a bygone conclusion. Information has never been more weaponized.

What's amazing to me is that people are willing to pay high prices for a manufactured home in Silicon Valley even though the likelihood of the mobile home park's land being sold to developers is higher than anywhere else.

This has already happened in a few places in the area. In Sunnyvale there are massive developments of million-dollar condos literally next door to mobile home parks. How much longer can those places survive?

One would think that the risk would make people less likely to buy. There aren't very many places in the area for people to move their homes to if the land they are sitting on gets sold.
I could agree with all 3 of those points, but I'm mostly thinking of the latter. The iOS browser engine isn't bad, but it has security quirks with things like iframe navigation and it still somewhat lags behind with PWA features. As a web developer who likes to tinker, I just don't find it ideal to be saddled with the browser engine that comes with iOS.

> a totally different government structure that so far has been very effective and competent.

Authoritarian regimes can look appealing (from the outside, anyway) until circumstances change. Then they falls apart spectacularly because the commercial and governmental institutions are either absent, very weak, or are unable to adapt to the change. For example, the Soviet Union.

Yes.

My faith in democracy is strong that I believe this will always be the case, so long as the earth remains round.

Your app sounds like it used some advanced features, but I don’t think most apps are going to be computationally expensive in the way that local-AI, image processing, or crypto activities might be. I am not sure what qualifies as extremely large datasets, but I’d be surprised if keeping a few dozen objects in order is significantly lower in JS than Swift. Yes, it may be an order of magnitude slower - or ten orders - but that seems negligible if the total time for processing is still nanoseconds.
Guess it always comes down to the task at hand.
> I can also use a bank to send them money, but I have to know their details, which are sensitive information.

PayID [0] was standardised in Australia a while back, standardising what the banks were already doing. At least here, knowing someone's details is something from the past.

A PayID can _only_ receive.

A PayID is a number - not necessarily a phone number you own, but many people opted for that route, but keep the same number even if their phone number does change.

A PayID does reveal the name of the account holder.

Transfer happens as part of Instant Payments, so at it's longest it'll take 60 seconds to arrive in an account, but usually within 2.

PayID is also integrated into Apply Pay and Google's offering.

... Is this still an unsolved thing overseas? I've had instant transfers to friends without knowing their banking details for nearly a decade.
