All you have to do is cross the border, get arrested, and then you're released and good to stay.

The Transportation Security Administration confirmed to Fox News on Friday that it allows illegal immigrants to use arrest warrants as an alternative form of ID to board airplanes.

"For non-citizens and non-U.S. nationals who do not otherwise have acceptable forms of ID for presentation at security checkpoints, TSA may also accept certain DHS-issued forms, including ICE Form I-200 (Warrant for Arrest of an Alien)," a TSA spokesperson told Fox News. That refers to a civil immigration arrest warrant, not a criminal arrest warrant.

The agency added that the document will then be validated via an "alien identification number" being checked against a number of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) databases.

"All passengers whose identity is verified through alternate procedures receive additional screening before being allowed into the secure area of the airport," the statement said.
Explosives and Fertilizer. It can also be used in drug production.
I've never played Star Citizen, but I've heard from many parties that it's full of frequent, immersion-breaking bugs that aren't fixed in lieu of adding more new features. Is it a scam? Maybe that's too harsh. But it's eight years into unmet promises and scope creep, and that doesn't make me hopeful for the game's future.
I think the argument is that having a completely open App Store would increase the attack surface, since the average user will click any install icon.
Mohammad Bin Zayed, hereditary ruler of Abu Dhabi (and thus, the United Arab Emirates, which include Dubai).
courts don't really care about technicalities like that. No one is filing their taxes or sending out work emails on their Xbox so its not the same even if someone hypothetically could.
They would if they could. Those are mostly tiny countries with almost no resources to spy.
The whole thing is pretend environmentalism. It starts out with some superficially "green" elements like solar power but eventually throws it all out the window when that conflicts with luxury or desire. In the end they've built a huge, inefficient house with enough embodied energy to power Ghana for a year, only accessible with the family's giant gas-guzzling truck, as depicted.
Jump Trading Group isn't some rando crypto org, it's a legit hedge fund established in 1999. Supposedly it has at minimum $150M AUM[1] but because it's a private company nobody actually knows the real amount. We can predict that they probably have a few billion in cash lying around if they've been successfully trading for over 20 years. Jump Crypto, the group that bailed out Wormhole, is their crypto trading division.

The analogy is saying there are malls in two different towns- there's only one mall in Androidville, and if I want to go to the one in Appletown I have to sell my house and all the stuff I bought at the Androidville mall and move there. Trying to argue its not a monopoly is engaging in the worst type of pointless semantic argument.
Paltrow on Goop selling jade balls for your hoo ha is ridiculous. But nobody died (that I know of). Pandemic misinformation is different.
This made me think of the original idea of using Gold or precious metals as a currency.

The idea is that this type of currency should hold value and buy the same amount of goods and services. A 1 ounce gold coin in 1920 would buy a nice tailored suit. Today a 1 ounce gold coin still buys a nice tailored suit.

Could this idea be extended to a crypto currency that is not used for pure speculative trading, but really as a store of value?
> And you genuinely see nothing ethically questionable with supporting products which pretend that they are made from animals?

No, I don't. Honestly, I don't even understand how someone could. As others have noted, this is just branding. No one is being fooled, and the idea that eating "mock duck" somehow normalizes eating actual duck seems pretty unlikely to me.
Yeah, in the current market you're correct, but we should be concentrating on creating an excess of cheap power (carbon free of course) rather than conserving.

Some people think maintaining bank accounts on Mongo would be a good idea.

ACID, locking, referential integrity, SQL (language flavors and RE DBMSes) aren't appreciated, probably due to a lack of CS education.
I don't know a good article, but for some reason I was curious at one point and discovered the marketing pages for various big rigs. Marketing materials presumably showcase more flashy features and higher trim levels.

Also the /r/Truckers/ subreddit has users post their setup sometimes. But usually those are either "look what I was able to cook" or "check out my gaming setup".

It's been long known (yet unpopular to report) that speed variance is what is dangerous, not speed.

Basically the difference between the "common sense speed" for a road and the posted speed limit correlates to accident rate.

* What about looking at people with one's own eyes, without the express consent of other people?

* What about people with photographic memory, who are effectively walking cameras?

* What about artists who draw pictures of people they see in public?

Where does this nonsense ever end? While the question is hyperbolic, and I apologize, that's intentional use of the "Reducto absurdum" fallacy to help illustrate the absurdity of this kind of idea.
Your comment is akin to "which came first, the chicken or the egg?"

I highly doubt there's (much of) a market looking to buy AirTags without already owning the pre-requisite Apple hardware.
if we look at the human race's success across time though we've survived many pandemics and many hard to adapt to events. I guess it entirely depends on your scale of perspective, from individual and short term to species and long term.

An example of support for success could be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCm9Ng0bbEQ (Steven pinker TED talk)

There are places where we waste energy because we're doing dumb stuff: in northern parts of the country, your house should be well insulated and designed for cold temperatures.

Then there are places like Nevada, which are just not suitable for large-scale habitation. "Can we make this monument to our hubris more energy efficient" is kind of missing the point, right?
Really cool concept.

Some oddness to be found: run MSBASIC.EXE, then enter the command "FILES" (which is the BASIC command to get a listing of the files in the current directory), essentially a DIR command. That gets stuck in an endless loop, showing ". .*"
- you can’t access the unique identifier on iPhones as an app developer. Apple blocked that years ago.

- if you have found away to get around iOS’s sandboxing, you could collect a bug bounty

- ad blocking doesn’t work well or at all for first party ads like FB, Reddit and Twitter use.
Maybe it’s time for an Erlang purge.
I don't know what you're talking about, I recall learning about T-cell immunity in middle-school biology class like 15 years ago. Just because politics causes you to cloud your judgement and memory does not mean the research and knowledge wasn't already there.
> All preview binaries shown here are DEBUG versions, which means that all run-time assertions are enabled, so file sizes and memory usage are larger than normal, and overall performance is slightly lower.
Yes I agree, although having gone through that several times in different frameworks, I am now a believer that you can avoid the majority of issues like that by keeping state centralized (like redux pattern) and building components in a functional-reactive way (no state in components). Of course this doesn't help much if you're using Java Swing, but the vast majority of products that I run into this are web-based. The "always re-render" approach of React can help a ton. With that you have two separate event handlers (one for the click, one for the key press) but both of them simply update the "state" variable for whatever it is. The framework then figures out what needs to change and does it.
Absolutely. @Swizec: ask your immigration lawyers if they're OK with this post being online and linked to both of you. If they are, you need new lawyers.
Offensive counterintelligence is not the same as catching a spy and hacking them.

Offensive counterintelligence involves manipulation or long-term disruption of adversaries. Hacking someone's phone doesn't qualify, that's just normal defensive counterintelligence.

>We don't disappear people under diplomatic cover, we PNG them just like everyone else does.

Sure.

>nd when we do catch foreign agents without diplomatic cover, we imprison them. Why kill a useful asset that could be traded for someone on our team?

We both know that's not true. When it's more useful to trade them, that's done. When you want to send another signal, the US is not shy at all about killing them.
I went down this entire train of thought after opening the article and decided on "The Hidden Costs of [Shipment] Containerization." This I think clarified overload on "shipping", "ship", "containers" and "containization." At least until next week when Docker decides to offer a new deployment option/format/interface it calls a "Shipment" or some nonsense.

I'm sure the people knowledgable of physical shipping containers and infrastructure really weren't that concerned or perhaps even aware how overloaded the term is in tech, nor did they know they'd land on the front page of a highly trafficked tech site. I don't know the policy on editorialized headlines here but I know people seem to get up in arms about it, which I understand, but here's a case where a nice insert makes sense.
Using 400A consistently would be insane. Building the capacity to support 400A but using much, much less on average is... prudent, especially when building a house that is remote.
Hey congrats on the launch! This is definitely a useful concept.

I haven't dug deep, but is code reviews possible? A big point of the whole data-as-code movement is to enable easier review of the data generation process, make abstractions and versioning. Being able to generate pipelines from Jupyter notebooks sounds exciting in theory, but I'd imagine code reviewing the generated pipelines can be a pain.
True. For comparison, I have a 60s era 1000sqft house in northern Canada that had a 60A service into a 50A breaker panel up until last year. For insurance, safety and maintenance reasons[0] we upgraded to a 200A service, but for a small house and a 3-4 person family 50A is sufficient provided your hot water heater is natural gas.

[0]: The incoming line was aerial and over the legal span length, so it had been attached to an insulator nailed to a tree halfway between the house and mast. Also the mast was deteriorating to the point that it needed to be replaced anyways and insurance was making noise about not allowing a new policy if it wasn't upgraded to at least 120A. We did a customer pole and went underground to the house. Much nicer aesthetics and I can now turn off a breaker on my side of the meter at the pole to do maintenance.
Yeah, it blew my mind that having a pool was so important to someone in a cold place like Canada. We have a pool in Texas and while it was installed with propane heating 30 years ago, the heating has really never been used as it’s not efficient to do so. I can’t imagine how much it would cost to heat a pool in the author’s climate.
I am surprised that there have been no responses to your question as this would be like the holly grail for people interested in privacy oriented and robust peer to peer messaging.
I wouldn't be able to add much know how to the technical aspects unfortunately.
Apple is a dividend paying stock.
But that wouldn’t support their argument that FB is failing to keep up with the times.

I think it matters largely because I don’t believe that most people just want content. Everyone I speak with who uses FB on a daily basis has made the decision to excuse the habit purely because they are interested in keeping in touch with people. But by excusing that habit, they end up mostly consuming content because that’s what the feed gives them.

I left FB the day their “timeline” stopped supporting chronological sort.
I am consistently impressed by the publication quality at Quanta Magazine. Their articles are a joy to read for an audience of any background. I also enjoy Aeon[0] and Psyche[1]. Can anyone recommend publishers of similar quality in other domains?

just for context:

- star citizen roadmap used to be: "improved fps, 3 new ships, new inventory system"

- star citizen roadmap became: "these 50 things are being worked on"

- star citizen roadmap is now: "improved fps, 3 new ships, new inventory system"

The reality is that literally ZERO features of star citizen have been delivered on time. Everything that is announced might as well add 3 years to.

AND THE BEST PART: They can't stop raising record breaking profits. Last year alone was 80MM USD, and that's I believe 10MM more than previous year.
They aren't doing this because it is the morally right thing to do. They are doing it because they feel that the $320m is important to secure the value of their business, the Solana ecosystem (thanks for the correction arberx), and crypto in general.

My personal interpretation of that, there are a lot of awfully rich people who are scared of the bubble popping.
You absolutely can not. There are no GPS trackers for <$30 with an ~unlimited battery life and no subscription fees.
When I first opened the site, I wondered if it was a more technical/wonkish dive, or whether it was a political take. Looking at the root site prospect.org made it clear it's the latter. Don't get me wrong, their thesis can still be right, but this is like reading about "is free trade good" in the Economist.
It's what exploded in Beirut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEpFyE_ED7M
It's a platform for managing a kind of appointment, but it doesn't have an appointments table. The appointments data is combined with a different table, and there was no way to disentangle them easily because the entire system was built around that object model. Case study in failure to normalize.

The hard part is done, but basically we had to switch the engine while the car was running so to speak. In order to switch this out you need to start writing the correct data shape, then switch everything over to reading that shape. When people work strict 9 to 5s this will take you forever especially when managing a large amount of volume, which requires you to be extremely risk-averse and slow.

I never had this opportunity, but I don't see an ethical problem here. As a more realistic example (in my environment), I suggest dumpster diving. I think it would be okay, ethically, but I would not do it because it grosses me out in a way that vegan substitutes don't, and that feeling is not related to the dumpster part.

I may have to do some more introspection, but I honestly don't think, that my acceptance of vegan substitutes is based on a desire to harm animals.
So is Vim just run in one of VSCode's terminals?

What's VSCode providing here compared to something like a terminal with tmux?
I was wondering how a bridge could hope to earn back $300M in fees in any reasonable horizon, but if we view Wormhole as a loss leader to pump the overall Solana ecosystem (which I guess Jump is invested in) it makes sense.
That's fine, actually.

I have never understood why companies spend so much effort to maintain two themes in their web apps or mobile apps. At least for developers I finally found a good explanation:

Why do developers prefer the dark theme?
Because the light attracts bugs.
Would you trust Apple to patch security fixes and distribute it as soon as they know or a random third party developer?
I'm in Central Portugal. It is the Gardunha region (known for its cherry growing). Between Fundao, Castelo Branco, and Penamacor.

I don't think property tax is a big deal. Bureaucracy is a PITA, but accountants, lawyers, and architects are cheap. Use them and it'll all be easier, and likely cheaper in the long run.

Construction costs are going up around here. The price I heard 4 years ago was €500-€750/m2 of house construction minimum.

Land should cost around €1/m2, although it will be more if it has a habitable house or is being sold as 'you can build a house here' plot. I got planning permission (via an architect) to build a 300m2 house on an agricultural-only plot of land, although I didn't go through with it. Rules vary by region, but around here you can fairly easily get planning permission if you own more than 2ha of land.

Get in touch if you want to talk more! Email is on my website. (asking questions here is also great)
There's a reason I've been following the story. There is nothing new about hedge funds naked shorting (essentially counterfitting) shares, and nothing new in the SEC's refusal to do anything about it.

What's new here is that this is the first time in history that retail has simply used collective buying power to catch them out at it. By simply en masse buying and holding directly registered shares, it puts them over a barrel.

The statements that it's war or what could happen aren't hyperbole -- and I find that fascinating. We'll see...
GPS trackers anywhere near the size and cost of the AirTag are going to have a battery life of a few days at best. You can get into multi-year battery lives on cellular GPS trackers but you're going to need large batteries and aggressive use of deep-sleep mode, e.g. check-in only once per day.
I really like the basic concepts of Astrox Imperium, but the fact that almost the entire game revolves around getting from station to station in a desperate attempt not to run out of air was a big turndown for me.

It eventually made the game unplayable for me, as I found myself in a savegame where no matter which direction I went, there simply wasn't a single station closeby enough that provided air, so I was essentially stuck and had to start a new campaign.
It's higher than hundreds. I had 150+ player raids on a private L2 server I hosted back in the day on an Athlon X2 with 4gb of ram. I had 50 player raids when that server was hosted on a spare P3 800mhz 512mb ram box I had in the closet.

This was not efficient software, l2j had so many issues I recognize now that I've worked a decade in the software industry, but it worked!

The post says they own a duplex in Vancouver, the most expensive housing market on Earth. This is where your rents are going if you are a family renting a flat in Vancouver for $4500/month: for these people to pave over some remaining BC forests.
> Is this saying that Apple is relying on the unknown tag to announce itself by emitting a beep, and is that true?

Not by itself, no. If you have an iPhone, you get notifications on your phone whether the AirTag ever beeps or not.
Pretty good. Where would the Oracle Lite products go?
I don't think Google is against sideloading since Android supports it by default.

I think Google is against being required to allow third-party app stores to have feature parity with its own, and against being required to allow third-party payments in apps purchased from the Play store. Those things would reduce Google's revenue.
> However, social VR is also immensely useful for more introverted people, which more extroverted people might not realize. It is quite simply easier talking to people in VR than it is in real life.

Can you instantly generate a website with an API call?
Hi all, I'm building a small web app using a bunch of no-code tools and would really like to know if I can generate a website via an API call. Is there any such service out there you have experience with? My search brought me no results except for an enterprise solution from a website builder called Duda.co but that is way out of budget.

The tool I'm creating is for a real estate agency. Users from the agency will login to the app and submit details about a house for sale. Using that information we go and make a WordPress website. I'm looking to automate this by passing the information the user submit via an API call to a website builder of some sort to instantly generate a website.

Any help in this would be hugely appreciated!
Is that fair? Why can't you develop software for the hardware you purchased? How is that different from the argument against Apple's App Store?

> Those aren't general-purpose devices

So if Apple sold an "iPad Gaming Edition" then none of this would matter?
To be fair, Bitcoin proponents don't even see this as critique, they say it's by design and everything more efficient would jeopardize their goals, lol.
