The inability to copy text may be due to an admin setting. At my previous workplace they disabled the ability to paste in images, etc. into Skype for Business saying that it was a security risk. They also disabled the ability to copy and paste between apps except within MS Office for the same reason.

It's not Citrix doing this, but your administrator.
Hopefully it’s the first step in a death spiral for PayPal, although they have so much momentum it would take a long time if at all. From what I’ve observed over the last 15 years, they have a culture of horrible corporate ethics and deserve to disappear.
They said the transition will take 2 years. Does this mean there could be an Intel version of the new MacBook Pro (alongside M1X) in H2?

My favorite result of that law was when I stopped to get gas in Washington state near the border with Oregon. I made eye contact with two 20-somethings that were arguing back and forth about something. After I'm done one of them worked up enough courage to approach me and ask for help. Being from Oregon, this was their first attempt to fill up a car on their own, and they couldn't figure out how to make the pump work (they didn't push the handle with enough force to engage the vapor recovery).
For anyone frustrated that the article doesn’t say what specific part of math has the most to gain it’s here:

“ The crucial point of condensed mathematics, according to Scholze and Clausen, is to redefine the concept of topology, one of the cornerstones of modern maths. A lot of the objects that mathematicians study have a topology — a type of structure that determines which of the object’s parts are close together and which aren’t. Topology provides a notion of shape, but one that is more malleable than those of familiar, school-level geometry: in topology, any transformation that does not tear an object apart is admissible. For example, any triangle is topologically equivalent to any other triangle — or even to a circle — but not to a straight line.

Topology plays a crucial part not only in geometry, but also in functional analysis, the study of functions. Functions typically ‘live’ in spaces with an infinite number of dimensions (such as wavefunctions, which are foundational to quantum mechanics). It is also important for number systems called p-adic numbers, which have an exotic, ‘fractal’ topology.”
Agreed, it's not a major issue but nonetheless caused by the publisher. Despite that, Steam allowed them to do that mistake.
Oh! I'd love to be able to change the country of my Google Apps for Domains. I have tried few times, whenever I remember but gave up.

Why do I want to change?

When I signed up, the currency was USD and perhaps the country stayed USA too! There was no Indian pricing at that time (I think over a decade ago). For the US pricing, I pay $30 monthly for a 5-member plan. I want to leverage the Indian pricing of ₹125 (~$1.6) per account per month.

Hi Peter,

We're doing about $8K per month from our clients in the US (for the last 1.5 years).

I would like to move to the USA. Is the best option an E-1 visa (Treaty Traders Visa). E-2 Visa wouldn't work because I over $100K at risk in the US.

Would you recommend I search out for legal council and have them take care of the paperwork or is it straight forward enough where I can do it myself?
Well, now many are looking to ban the SAT as well.

Google services between Germany and Malaysia might be essentially the same. But that might not be the case if Google decides to relocate you out of the United States.
Even those US Citizens who live in a USA territory like Puerto Rico or US Virgin Islands constantly receive a variant of the message 'this service is not available in your country'.
Be aware that as a US territory, Puerto Rico and USVI are subject to the same federal laws (and financial system) as any other state, so technically they aren't foreign/alien. But a private company like Google can choose to underserve what is not strategic for them.
Google uses either your IP address or the postal address of your payment method to find out that you don't live in the 50 states (or DC).
When launching some services, Google starts in US (or course), excluding their territories. Then they expand to other countries, again skipping the United States territories, which continue receiving the 'this service is not available in your country' message' practically forever.
This happened with Google Music. Also YouTube videos apparently market for USA market only were not playable here. Google controls the YouTube platform and there's no excuse for not negotiating including all the US territories in the definition of USA for YouTube uploaders.

Recently they made YouTube Premium available in this market. And with the YouTube Music change, this also came included. However, I don't know if they fixed completely fixed the issue of viewing USA only videos from here.

"...in They Live, ideology is not imposed, Zizek postulates. Rather, Nada puts on the glasses in order to see how things really are, because ideology is "spontaneous relationships to our social world" and therefore indivisible from reality. The glasses, therefore, finally remove ideology from the equation."

Except that in They Live ideology is imposed by the aliens.

"In the movie's most notorious scene, Nada tries to impose this truth on another person, brawling with Armitage for several minutes in order to force him to put on the glasses. This endless fight scene, possibly the longest in cinema history, is a metaphor for the struggle to achieve enlightenment. "To step out of ideology ... you must force yourself to do it," Zizek concludes. "Freedom hurts.""

But Piper's character didn't have to force himself to put on the glasses. There was no struggle and it didn't hurt.

Zizek is amusing and I agree with many of his left-wing sentiments, but a lot of what he says is pure bullshit, concocted to sound profound with zero substance to it if you think about it for half a second.
> and also why the reaction to the "NPC" meme was so harsh

I don't know how you managed to weave in the private corporation Twitter banning an organized brigade of troll accounts as evidence of anything, but NPC Twitter accounts were used to basically say "people I disagree with aren't real people, they all say the same stuff!".

Another way to look at it, the NPC meme is "if everyone is an asshole, it's probably just you" but told from the asshole's point of view.
Wow, I always thought Intel will go bankrupt but I guess it’s clear that US is going to back them.

Gotta give Intel a lifeline because the longtime strategy of in-house design+manufacturing no longer works when you lost the manufacturing edge, when you missed the transitions to mobile and GPU, and when you are stuck with the same crappy designs for the one market you dominate: server.

Peter does a thread here every few months. So I want to share a cautionary tale about Immigration lawyers in general and Peter in particular.

I had extensive immigration experience in US, where I did many filings. Worked with many different immigration lawyers.

In that end with your immigration you are dealing less with the law aspects and more with the paperwork filling which is more clerical work.

Things that I realized:

There are three types of lawyers:

1. With big firms like Berry Appleman, Fragomen etc. Very conservative in their opinion. Will not be responsive. Have good portals to enter information to help with your application.

2. Single lawyer operation like Peter Roberts: Very aggressive. Will give advice not really inline with the law. Very disorganized so you will spend a lot of time filling documents. Will make many mistakes.

3. 4-5 lawyer firms: These are the best in my opinion. They will pay more attention, have more experience and have decent process.

Issues with immigration filings:

When things are clear and you keep getting approved - things are great.

However as soon as things get complicated and you get rejections - now it will have negative impact not only on your future filings in US but also other countries. Many countries ask in their immigration application if you ever get rejected in any Visa application. Five Eye countries share all the non immigration paperwork with each other.

Issues with Peter:

He was a mix of Snake oil salesman and Fly by night operator.

He would consistently give advice which was very hackish. That works when you are trying out ideas for your business, but can have major consequences when you are dealing with the government. His advice was not in the letter and spirit of the law. He completely messed up my otherwise stellar immigration situation. I later checked his advice with multiple immigration lawyers and every single one of them said that Peter was wrong!

But the worst thing was that as soon as my application was rejected, he stopped all communications with me. He wouldn't reply to my email and stopped returning my calls. I had to find some other lawyer to clear the mess. It hurt a lot more, because I was in a very vulnerable situation in my personal life and Peter knew that!

I also know others who have bad experience with him. People probably don't speak out due to fear and not wanting to rock the boat!

My advice to all founders: Be careful when you deal with immigration filings. Find someone competent and professional!
Strongly disagree. Vertical space is not negligible. We already have way too many things taking up vertical space:

- menu bar

- tab bar

- URL bar

- bookmarks bar

- scrolling site headers

- dock

Eliminating, combining, or hiding just some of these by default is a huge win for space savings. It's why people have been asking for a combined tab/URL bar for years.

The blended chrome does indeed make websites feel like they take more of your screen.

Overall this change is seriously tempting me to move from Firefox to Safari.
Interesting, I don't think I've ever cared what a logo meant, just that it was easy to distinguish from all the other apps on my taskbar.

The fee structure is 5% + $0.05 (in the USA at least). It is beneficial up to about $12.

These are not "classic micropayments" in the sense of what was being discussed in the late 1990s and early 2000s. But very beneficial if you do lots of low value transactions.

https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/merchant-fees

(Click on "Micropayments")

You cannot use both fee structures on a single PayPal account, so to use them effectively you either need (a) all transactions < $12 (b) all transactions > $12 (c) two PayPal accounts with your own software using the correct account based on the transaction amount.

Hi Peter,
How is your or your client's experience with E3 visas?
Apple is somewhat exempt from the chip shortage because they booked capacity far in advance and they're willing to pay high prices. There are rumors that they're having troubling finding mini-LEDs though.
Oh yes, I'd should actually. Because the fruit company once told me that the machine will run ALL iOS apps and games on the App Store! [0] /s

Except most of your existing software wasn't available or did not work upon launch day and you had to wait 6 months for it to be stable. At that point why bother with an M1 Macbook when you can get an M1X instead.

[0] Only the ones that the developers allow and is ultimately up to them. And no you cannot side-load them either as of January of this year.
If you make shallow, pejorative generalizations about a country—any country—then you are adding nationalistic flamebait to the thread in the sense that we use the term here. Let's not argue about definitions; please just don't post such comments.

It supports as many separate requirements files as you want, if that's what you mean.
It's not a valid argument that everyone should bend to your whim, it's possible a valid argument that (a) there should be a load of config options and/or (b) you should be able to edit the source code to make it work how you want.
You're rapidly leaving the limits of my knowledge, so going forward this is based on half-remembered things told to me. Huge grain of salt time.

I believe "leaky" transmissions are a result of the circuit design/construction (which could also be exacerbated or mitigated at the antenna level) and power being sent through the circuit and are not dependent on continuous/sporadic broadcasting. It may make it less likely to get caught, as triangulation requires an active signal. But if you bleed into ranges people care about (say HAM operators or police/military/aviation) the resources devoted to stopping you might get impressive (HAM operators because it's their hobby, the others have real government resources). Keep in mind, leaking isn't just illegal, it's also annoying whoever's transmission range you are leaking into.

Again, I would lean towards a $10 433Mhz board or a $20 ~900MHz board shipped from any electronics manufacturer before I started building my own transmitters. Or, if you're interested in transmitting using SDR and have ~$350 look into the HackRF or LimeSDR. AFAIK, they aren't FCC certified, but the HackRF in particular seems to have a wide amount of open-source use already and is probably safer than rolling your own.
Workona works for uses cases like you, the only time that gets annoying is when you are using firefox containers. So I appreciate the new UI (didn't tried it yet) but seems that somehow fits my current workflow.
Expert witnesses are pretty much never impartial. Each attorney picks their own witness subject to the judge's approval on professional qualifications. The attorney, not the judge, chooses the witnesses. They get paid to say what the defense attorney wants them to say or the plaintiff attorney wants them to say. A plaintiff expert witness who doesn't say what the attorney wants will soon be out of work or vice versa.

So you often get each side with a biased witnessess arguing the other biased witness is wrong.
