Incorrect. CBP has a policy to destroy any digital data collected during a search unless it is relevant to an investigation of customs/immigration crimes or is related to terrorism, which can be broadly construed as related to immigration law insomuch as one of the primary purposes of a border is to keep out unwanted persons.

I recommend reading through this document assembled by the EFF about various kinds of border searches and the constitutionality thereof.

We had one of the V1 (or maybe V2?) vacuums and it had some obvious design floors: e.g. the exhaust blew forward out of the front, so if you were trying to suck up some fluff, the exhaust blew it away from the vacuum! You had to reverse over it to get it - madness!

I remember ranting about it whenever they were held up as masters of industrial design etc - clearly people saying that did not have one :)

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure that Sir_Cmpwn meant 32 threads, not 32 cores. Raptor sells an 8-core CPU bundle, and those cores are SMT4 capable, meaning 4 threads per core. So it will appear as 32 CPUs if you run `htop` or `cat /proc/cpuinfo` in Linux.

Raptor does sell a 22-core SMT4 capable CPU, which, Yikes! that's a lot of computing power.

That Blackbird bundle seems like a beast. The Phoronix benchmarks show it outperformed by high end x86 chips though. I wonder if some of that comes down to gcc optimizations because x86 has been around longer.

You get a lot of features for very cheap compared to other systems. That's the best way I can describe it.

Bazel is basically cross platform out of the box if one is careful with it: that includes a consistent build organization across platforms, cross builds if configured, and so on. It can build a library declaration for mobile and desktop and embedded and web in a single workspace; try that with CMAKE.

Bazel has a universal package system (e.g. download an archive or git repo) that allows for custom ecosystems (yes some of which are not great yet) to exist regardless of what is normal that ecosystem. This is especially notable for C++ where using CMAKE as a package system is a nightmare, with bazel I can just download any C++ repo off the internet and ignore it's CMAKE file for my own BUILD file. Also notably it's the first build system for C++ that hasn't required me to build or configure boost myself, someone can run bazel build against a repo of mine with boost in it without even knowing what boost is and it just builds.

Which brings me to hermeticy and reproducibility. If one is careful running bazel it always uses the same code for a platform (I've never had or seen weird "on my machine" issues with it which is impressive; reverting/stashing changes has always gotten people a working build again). All of the sources are version pinned, and so on. Getting to hermetic takes some work, but it's possible which is nice. A side effect of all this is my instructions for a bazel project are usually: install bazel, run build; and it just works! Yes parts of the ecosystem suck and break this, but that's a work in progress.

There are other features, like the query system, the test runner, the macro system, the local override idiom, the parallel build. The point is it really is a build tool for whatever needs to be built, however it needs to be built, and not just a scripting language useful for building things.
FEIE phases out at just over $100k for singles, $200k for marrieds, and then you are taxed at the typical bracket for earnings in excess of.

Keeping things in USD for simplicity then converting at the end.

So say you live in the UK, and you + spouse earn $350k USD, UK will tax just under 40%, but lets go ahead and round it to 40%, then the US will tax the $150k at 24% to $315k and 32% to $350k.

So back of napkin calculations, your take home in the UK will be $210k and then you owe the US another $40k, making your total take home in GBP as of today, 140k.

People already die in VAST numbers on the roads. This is all a question of which deaths are reported/discussed. If some technology leads to death, it will undoubtedly get way more media coverage than if human error leads to death.

~50 people died when a compounding pharmacy had mold in its spinal injections. ~300 died in SK when a ferry sank. Over a hundred people died due to Boeing's software issues. Hell, look at Uber killing that single pedestrian in Arizona -- how many traffic fatalities occur during Uber rides overall? This is all since 2010 with "advanced" technologies. With scale of tech, comes fringe/rare events, which will be reported on.

The important question is: will less people die with Waymo cars than without them? All logic and reason point towards "less people will die," but evidence is needed.

The one thing we can be sure of: when people DO die with SDCs, it will be HEAVILY reported on, even though thousands die daily on the roads due to preventable, human error, which is rarely reported on.
I'm not British but from a country where public schools == state schools. I know in the US "public" means something else, but I often end up confusing myself.

This is what I don't understand (correct me where I'm wrong):

- Public schools are allegedly too regulated / lack accountability (or so I understood from your comment). They receive public funding.

- Charter schools are less regulated (is this a good thing?) and more accountable (to whom?). They also receive public funding. Are charter schools operated for profit?

I agree more accountability is a good thing, bit I'm seriously unconvinced about less regulation. But even then, if these traits are positive, why not handle public schools like this and get rid of charter schools?

Education is both a right and a strategic asset of any country. If a way of doing regulations/accountability is shown to be the best, why not use this in public education?

The claim was rejected by European Commission spokesperson, Natasha Bertaud, who said that €5.6 billion had been provided and the rest was "due to be allocated shortly."

> In order for it to be a choice it is necessary for both alternatives to be available.

Fair, and ideally both options would exist. But an Android phone is a close approximation of an unlocked iPhone, while there is no other close approximation of a locked iPhone. Pushing the security stance of iPhone to align more closely with Android is a homogenization of the landscape and a reduction in the diversity of options.

That's why I added "more or less". Housing, health insurance and essentials being taken care of by the state + cash money is UBI for these intents and purposes. It's only given to the poor, and society would prefer if you didn't require assistance, but the argument was that it would decrease crime because people needn't worry about finances as much, for which it serves as functionally equivalent. Whether you call it UBI, Hartz 4, Kontanthjælp or something else is mostly semantics with regards to "if people get money, they won't commit crimes".

UBI has other parts which aren't covered in that regard, but those aren't relevant to the question of crime motivated by poverty.

> Banning sideloading forced China to use iOS exploits, which are ephemeral and not consistently effective.

But that's just it, China found their own way in! I don't think it's obvious which method is less effective. iPhones were compromised until reboot, and became reinfected as soon as the user next visited the malicious website—which a government can compel people to do frequently. That's still better than Android, but on Android, users knew they were being tracked. iOS users did not. (And of course, because iOS is locked down, it's harder to inspect your phone for signs it's compromised.)

If China hadn't found an exploit, do you think they would have given up? I think they would have required iOS users to carry dedicated trackers. Or just surveilled them more heavily.

Software restrictions don't impact the powerful, who have access to alternatives. They impact the average user, who has limited reserves of money, knowledge, and time.

Charter schools are not for the wealthy. In fact, they enroll a significantly greater proportion of underprivileged and ethnic minority children than do traditional public schools.[0] Their outcomes are mixed, but unlike public schools, underperforming charter schools face consequences for failing their students. That’s why many lower-SES parents are beating down the door to get their kids in.

When moving to the US we decided to not skimp out on the vacuum and went with a Dyson Ball Animal 2 (an almost $500). It's one of the worst vacuums I've ever used. It's clunky, has poor suction and is a pain in the ass to empty/clean. I don't know if it's because it's an upright or if it's just a bad vacuum. Every canister style vacuum I've used in the past have been a pleasure to use compared to the Dyson. I even prefer to use my ShopVac over the Dyson for the house... :(

Even if you ignore the particular "special right" Hong Kong was arguing for (like, the right not to be extradited and disappeared for disagreeing with the government), it's still part of an existing system and series of agreements that are now being violated.

It's closer to if the UK tried to disband the Scottish parliament, because those damn Scots get special privileges and still protest and whine all day about secession, and then started moving troops in and brutalizing student protesters.

And, yes, everyone here would side with Scotland over the UK.

Ebikes really are amazing. I think they are particularly suited to the US, because much of our infrastructure is designed entirely around cars.

The ebike allows you to traverse a car-designed landscape with the ease of biking on flat ground. And where there is bike friendly infra, it's even better.

Not to mention, it's an absolute joy to ride at about 15 mph, wind in your hair, all that stuff. And for short trips say to the grocery, it can be faster than your car, cheaper, more comfortable, better for the environment, and healthier.

I highly recommend trying an ebike to anyone.

I'm not sure if you're referring to it, but Google actually DID throw out something very similar for free: Plus Codes (https://plus.codes/)

I believe in it, because it's already happening. Air conditioners counter heat. Heaters counter the cold. The Venetians have proven that they can hold back storm surges, and live in a city slowly being flooded. The Dutch have proven they can hold back the ocean itself. We are capable of planting and harvesting crops on previously unfarmable land. Biodomes have been tested (and work) at a small scale, and show promise at their ability to scale up. We can desalinate and clean water at the cost of mere electricity - something we're making more and more abundant and less reliant on fossil fuels.

Moving from these technologies that exist today to live in a harsher world tomorrow is nowhere near as big a jump as curing cancer.

I think the key differentiator is "reinforcement."

Addiction is often defined [in scientific literature] as having two core elements: Reward and reinforcement (i.e. likelihood to seek repeated exposure).

Addiction in general is a sliding scale. With anything offering both reward and reinforcement being a potential candidate for addiction.

We need protein nutritionally but both the reward and reinforcement are lower than sugar. So if you wish to call protein addictive, you may be able to, but I'd still suggest it is further along the sliding scale towards the "less addictive" side.

Plus if we measure addiction purely by its negative impact on society, sugar addiction claims thousands of lives every year. I don't know how many (if any) lives are claimed by protein addiction.
I think you have made a couple of errors.

First, how many satellites did we have 50 years ago? How many advancements have there been in sensors over that time? How much has compute capacity increased? Our level of data and observation has increased - trying not to exaggerate - a million-fold. With that, the algorithms and models have improved, too. It's like comparing a Pinto to a Tesla.

Second, 50 year old forecasts have held up remarkably well. I will just point to Exxon's forecasts, under "Select ExxonMobil documents": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExxonMobil_climate_change_cont... They actually did a fair job in the 1970s and 80s of modeling the warming we've seen just based on first principals of measured CO2 greenhouse effects and atmospheric concentrations.

Third, we are actually quite good at predicting the future! We can predict where a planet will be in a million years. It's basic Dunning-Kruger bias to think these professional trained scientist building these models don't understand nonlinear systems maths and the ways these systems diverge, couple, and otherwise interact.

Fourth, "According to some" is the source of so many flawed conclusions. According to some, the world is flat. According to some, reality is based on the theory of the Time Cube. You can't go around quoting cranks to attack non-cranks. I don't know who or what you are talking about, but I have a very hard time believing a qualified individual thought GB would be under water in 2020 in 1970. And even if they did, times change and we know much more now.

I hate to be out ahead of the mass psychology of awareness of the magnitude and criticality of climate change. It is very hard to digest how bad things are. This is data driven, though.
