"Why wouldn't you just consent to an intimate unwarranted and unjustified search of your body that is completely medically unnecessary, with the expectation that the hospital will probably send you the bill afterwards?"

Every single 'search' along the way was used to fabricate evidence against me. Remember these people are professional psychopathic liers so every inch you give them, they just use it to justify something even worse.

1) The dog -- never alerted -- they lied and said it alerted on my anus (WTF!?!). Used to justify a scan of my body with some x-ray looking machine at the border.

2) The "machine" (IDK what it was, but looked like a body scanner type thing) -- there was nothing, but then someone claims they "Saw something" which turned out to almost assuredly to have been my belt buckle.

3) The machine was used to justify strip searching me.

4) Fabricated evidence from the strip search was used to justify dragging me to hospitals for an x-ray.

Now what was to be expected next? It just doesn't end. I did nothing wrong.

Dating a website is actually fairly tricky if there's no explicit <time>-tag (which there rarely is).
That sounds super cool. If you find it, please post a link.
I can't spare a thought for them when my own existence is endangered. I'm thinking about them a lot now, and donate when I can, but that would have to end.

The problem here is being forced to work less at a time when I'm able to work more. It's not fair to make me earn less just because I wasn't able to spread out my work across the calendar because of my mental health issues.
So the UK is taxed lower than California? And we have more public services?

What do they spend it on?
I haven't opened the article because I suspect I'm not in the right headspace for it, but I wanted to share my thoughts. I did my degree in the US and my experience with the immigration system was so traumatic that I just gave up entirely and didn't try to stay in the US after graduation. I wouldn't say I regret it, but it does feel wasteful at the end of the day to have put all that time/effort/energy in only to come back to my home country. But oh well.
The reregistration only works once, and it is presumably in the bill because that's how copyright worked a century ago. You got a 28-year term. If your work was still worth something after that, you could get one more term -- but because you had to file for it, only works that had commercial value were likely to get renewed, which meant that the public domain grew more rapidly than it would under a single 56-year term.

Most works are actually abandoned by the end of 28 years, and this way someone else could pick them up.
Think about it this way: with a gas vehicle you wait 5 minutes to refuel maybe once a week, so that's 4+ hours wasted per year. But with an electric vehicle that charges primarily at home you would recharge outside home maybe once every 2 months, so at 15 minutes per charge that's only 1.5 hours wasted per year.

4 hours vs 1.5 hours.
They landed at an airport. I think the CNN article has a bit more context:

https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/florida-passenger-lands-p...

> Morgan learned the passenger on the line had never flown a plane -- but had been around aviation and seen other pilots fly.

If they've been around planes like this before, I don't think it'd be that difficult to land in one piece with guidance (and the ATC seemed to be a CFI as well). But what do I know, I'm still working on my PPL.

Hopefully the passenger got his logbook signed for his first solo
I understand that it is an accounting tool. But the function in the economy is totally different.

The case you mention is basically an ability for different departments to earn some interest on unspent budgets and that's fine. Its basically some bureaucracy level budget adjustment mechanism.

However on a state budget and state central bank level the interest paying part of the Bond is not relevant.

And when comparing how large governments debt% is, to have a useful metric for practical purposes those bonds should be removed.
> In the unlikely event [we can't provide you the AirBnB you booked], we’ll find guests a similar or better home, or we’ll refund them.

You had me until the refund. I understand it isn't always possible to find another place to stay last minute in a city - sometimes things are just fully booked. I get that, in that case, you'd have to issue a refund.

But this doesn't give me the peace of mind they imply. It just tells me I can be stuck in a city with no shelter and left to fend for myself finding a place to stay.

Peace of mind is AirBnB maintaining a reserve inventory by under-booking a city or maintaining relationships with hotels. Were they can guarantee an equal-or-better home or a refund and at least a studio apartment or hotel room.
>Is anonymously tracking which buttons were clicked on a site more creepy?

It's not anonymous and it's not just buttons. Furthermore it comes down to consent. I can see the cameras in the shop. I have no idea without doing network traffic analysis what kind of surveillance is happening on a website.
Trump explicitly asked his people to be peaceful in his fight metaphor which is more than you could say for many others.
Fixed the orders table. Good catch.
Now that value delivered is disconnected from location, live somewhere inexpensive and push for your actual value. The only real requirement is US friendly timezones and 10+Mbps up speed internet. I'm sure there are 100s of cities in America that meet this expectation and would make you "rich" in that locale with a $200k TC .

Choosing to live somewhere for the "lifestyle" is in itself a form of expenditure for which your employer should neither be subsidizing nor penalizing.
So because this land was colonized 500 years ago (as it was before Europeans arrived as well by the way, native Americans were not pacifists), we shouldn't enforce borders?

How much time must pass after a land is conquered before nations are morally justified in enforcing sovereignty over borders? Particularly when the border belongs to a welfare state with finite resources and a host of internal issues that require fixing.
>illegal or otherwise just destructive to the world

Emphasis mine, that word "or" is pretty important. In this context, it means that twitter will remove things they are not compelled to by law as long as they (twitter) feels that the statement is sufficiently "destructive" (whatever that means)
Yeah if you had multiple sensor outputs with different known fixed focuses it could likely be done on the fly.
I see this as a bad market though too. Many companies paying bad comps and making people jump through a lot of hoops to get a decent offer.

I had to get no less than 6 offers before I got one that was reasonable in my last search. 6. I had done about a dozen onsites and dozens of phone screens at that point. This was just a year ago. I expect the same this year - if not worse because of the market doing so poorly.
I got kinda intimidated with the Asciidoc toolchain that I instead just wrote a bit of Clojure to call the Java AsciidocJ API. A tiny script that did what I want (make Reveal slides) and it's simple/straightforward and I guess crossplatform :)

So better than even a command line thing

If you want a GUI then I'm guessing AsciidocFx

https://github.com/asciidocfx/AsciidocFX

(haven't tried it myself)

There is also Orgmode and Texmacs - but I don't really like that the markup is kinda "locked" to an editor. For instance I've done stuff with Orgmode for ages, but it breaks between Emacs major versions and you can't really export it without having Emacs. I also feel like I'm in effect locked into the platform

Texmacs actually looks fantastic, but I'm nervous putting all my beans in that basket
A Cessna Caravan airplane does not land itself. It's a thoroughly manual process. As a pilot, I'm in awe of the controller and passenger for being able to pull this off.
Agreed. Though I recently helped my partner sign up for a bunch of these types of benefits at a new Big Corp job: it took half a day entering the same information in different portals from different providers, plus figuring out if a perk was even something they wanted or could use.

Employers need to start offering a perk where they enrol you in all the relevant perks.
A Cessna 208 is definitely not in that category of aircraft; this is a small (<10 pax), single-engined turboprop.
It really depends on your reputation and specialized skills.

It's easy to name a bunch of names that everyone on HN has heard of, and you can bet anything that in job negotiations they are the ones who have the power. Companies have to come courting them, not the other way around.
I'm just trying to understand the meaning of "I wouldn't want anyone to be discriminated" in the context of "Now i wouldn't want anyone to be discriminated but still it makes sense to limit green card based on nationality". I just think it is unclear. If we want to discriminate by nationality then we should just admit it and say we're going to discriminate by nationality instead of being covert about it.
Anecdotally, as someone who just did a bunch of interviewing, I saw a number of these types of questions instead of super hardcore LC stuff. Particularly the last two. It was a pleasant surprise, as I really struggle with dynamic programming/binary trees/etc.
You hit on my first thought. There are numerous legitimate user experience cases where keystroke by keystroke or field by field processing is beneficial. Autocomplete for address data is one I see commonly used. Saving a partially filled out form field by field in the event a user becomes disconnected and would like to complete it later is another. From a security perspective, I know of numerous tools that examine the speed and cadence of the act of typing to discern between bot entry in a field versus human entry. There is also software like FullStory that records everything client side, including mouse movement, so companies can determine exactly how people are interacting with their sites in an effort to improve the UX. And from a tinfoil hat perspective, if a user is interacting with a webpage, they should assume everything they are doing on that page is subject to observation by the page author. If the researchers were surprised by this, I fear it's from inexperience.
Naming is hard.

> Zaraz

That's the name of the company they acquired. Though, I do agree that more descriptive naming is nice.

E.g.

Zaraz = SafeXXS

D1 = LDS (light database system)

R2 = ObjectStore

Spectrum = Reverse Proxy
I've no idea, something equivalent was done many times over to either result. I certainly would not want to be him right now, I don't see him as directly responsible for anyone's loss, anyone understands a UST is not the same as a dollar bill but I wouldn't expect him to be treated nicely at all. On an unrelated note, the more time I spend analyzing this, the more I feel like a simple life is the best, desiring much more than basic needs is unlikely to bring happiness.
Ask HN: How common are websites that block all content if JavaScript is disabled
here is one example:
https://expeditionportal.com/
only the menu is shown and most of those do not work at all. If the Forum menu item is selected then get a javascript required message. Looks like the Store works as that brings in revenue and maybe the Podcasts work. But the main content and reason most use the website, is not available.
For $100k, this is absolutely worth it.
You and I actually believe the same thing, I just believe 2A is linked to early militias, and in the event that there were infighting in the US that early component would be needed again. I also believe 2A reinforces state power with respect to federal power, and balancing them is important.

You on the other hand are an egotistical ass with 220 karma and behavior to boot.
How long before Google only accepts Google signed certificates. Everything must and shall be placed within the Google ecosystem. Not good.
>> When every job opening has several qualified candidates, and it can take several applications to land a new job, I still think the employer has more power.

Depends on what role you're interviewing for. C# dev? Probably. What about full-stack Javascript dev? Totally lopsided in favor of the developers. I have, on average, a dozen emails from recruiters looking for full-stack JS devs. I barely do JS work any more, but the everything is so scarce, if companies can just find someone who's mildly fluent in JS, they'll hire and train you - its that bad in the Midwest where I live. The entry level roles are pretty competitive, but anything mid to senior level there aren't enough people to go around right now.

You just have to know your market and when you have leverage. When you have leverage, you can really take advantage. Don't like the people interviewing you? Wait a day or so. You like a company? Use your leverage to get more vacation, higher salary, play companies against each other to get more for yourself.

Knowledge is power, simple as that.
You can convict a president of a state crime, just not federal crime.

I can imagine it would have been upsetting but in time I'm sure you'll
grow jaded. Since we're sharing stories, my last interviewer seemed
eager to think I was an idiot (rightly or wrongly) and I couldn't
summon the motivation to talk him out it. He asked if I know what
reading and writing to a database means, and I asked if that was what
he was asking me, and rather than answering he just moved on. When it
got to the point of him saying that a person who knows absolutely
nothing about databases might not be a good fit for the job, I told
him I won't get my hopes up, thanked him for the interview, and wished
all the best to him and the company.
I could say everything you said, as a person hoping the planet will remain habitable for my children.

(Substitute the bit about appearance with "because I think we should immediately stop new fossil fuel exploration / capital investment and institute atmospheric carbon recapture taxes of $1-2 per gallon-of-gasoline-equivalent emissions")

Anyway, I think the premise of the article is flawed:

I don't care whether voters in some red state are queer-bashing, abortion-banning putin apologists that want to strip mine for coal. (Want them for neighbors, or not? Move!)

I care that the people they've voted in and appointed to the supreme court are all of those things, and this planet is not large enough to let the rest of us escape from their idiocy.
On the other hand, if Google vanished today, the only effect it'd have on my life is that I'd watch something other than YouTube.
rqlite also supports read-only nodes, so in theory you can have more nodes at the edge, just like D1 -- but these nodes won't participate in the distributed consensus process. Those nodes will keep up-to-date with changes, even catching up in the event of a temporary disconnection.
Hillary Clinton did not take the loss well despite the appearance, and she still uses the word stolen. Stacey Abrams seems to have a similar story. Trump sounds like a broken record and a sore loser, but the main reason I don't take him seriously at this point is that there's not much work being done to secure the next election. I don't agree with ballot harvesting, last-minute voting rule changes, or the execution with poorly-designed election machines. No one was ever proactive about this when it would have mattered though.

Trump did get shafted on his Twitter ban, and even people that didn't seem to be supporters looked at the justification and were left perplexed. It was not a statement of facts, but there was reading between the lines and assuming the worse without gathering information. Despite any accounting of what went down that day, it does seem like the response is extremely biased and lopsided. People held on vague charges of obstruction because their cell phone data showed them outside the building are still being indefinitely detained. Whether it's Trump or his so-called co-conspirators, if there was a crime, you would think the gears of justice would turn a little faster because there's plenty of motivation.

If they were conservatively minded or playing it safe, the highest probability is that they left or lost a long time ago, or they haven’t entered yet. Coinbase won, effectively, which means they are well beyond taking a cut of transactions and calling it good.

The statement from the CEO is to prevent a run. Why do they need to prevent a run if they aren’t farming the float?

The only other option is “we make our money on trades” however, and especially in the bigger coins, trades are expensive, and not happening as often as they would like. They would (and will, if it comes to light) likely argue that it would be violation of their fiduciary duty to allow the custodial accounts to just sit there not making money.

If exchange revenue data are public this could probably be figured out based on comparing transaction flow and revenue. My money is they are dependent on float, and probably also directly or indirectly using it to front-run. It is SOP for finance.
I wonder if there's a way for ad blockers to block these requests -- the pre-submit non-user-driven requests -- without me turning off JS or anything drastic like that. I suspect the answer is no, but I'm wondering if it's at all feasible for an extension to do that.
I think about farming a lot these days, especially when I'm reading about startups on HN.

Our culture has spent decades putting down agriculture as the lowest work, worse than waiting tables or running a cash register. Hell, I grew up on a farm and I still looked down on it.

When I compare it to building CRUD apps because a VC wants another unicorn, though, it seems pretty attractive. The work is hard, but the results are tangible, and you're fulfilling the most basic human need. Which is more worthwhile: actually growing potatoes, or programming Farmville?

I would love a future in which a much bigger percentage of the American population lived in clusters of small farms, growing food to feed themselves and to send to market. A community of 10-acre plots (why 10 acres? see https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/48753), with a co-op organization that gathers up people's produce and hauls it to the nearest city for sale.

> where basically everything is recycled - nutrients, water, biomass (except what goes onto people's tables)

The parenthetical is an interesting problem... the current agricultural system seems to be a machine for pulling nutrients out of the soil, shipping them to cities, and then flushing them out to sea. Then we attack farmers for putting fertilizer into the soil.
Weren't they always? I only remember Obama being unexpectedly popular, but being clowns was business as usual for US presidents.
The wording is a bit confrontational.

I'd just ask if this is a good time. Otherwise, we can reschedule.

Then, I can decide later whether I will actually reschedule.

It is never a good idea to add shading like that.
The startup is still around. I don't know what the social protocol here is about things like this, but hint.com is still doing its thing... getting doctors and patients directly connected.
I think more typically (if there is such thing for these scenarios) atc tries get hold of some instructor or even a pilot it no instructor is found instead of instructing themselves.
Probably for the same reasons that not-famous people tell the world they have Covid.
California is using regulation to provide cleaner air and mitigate climate change for its citizens by preferring EVs. Sounds very reasonable unless you don’t like clean air or don’t like paying for your externalities for burning fossil fuels.

The byline reads: Kerry Jackson & Wayne Winegarden ("Kerry Jackson is a fellow with the Center for California Reform at the Pacific Research Institute. Dr. Wayne Winegarden is a PRI senior fellow in business and economics.")

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Research_Institute

"The Pacific Research Institute for Public Policy (PRI) is a California-based free-market think tank which promotes "the principles of individual freedom and personal responsibility" through policies that emphasize a free economy, private initiative, and limited government. PRI was founded in 1979 by British philanthropist Antony Fisher."
Your statistic is based on the opinion of individual voters. My concern is with the forces in government that have made my friends in Florida fear that they cannot talk about their lives without being branded a pedophile. The sitting members of congress who think trans people are an abomination. The 20-something states that allow for conversion therapy for minors. But sure, I'm glad I can feel safe talking about marriage with 44% of rep. voters.
If the weather conditions are favorable, there isn't much needed. This would have been a very stable aircraft on its own. If the controls are setup properly in advance of the runway, it will descend and "land" with little input. In all likelihood they used a long approach, strait-in, to an airfield totally cleared of all other traffic. He would have had a strait shot in from many miles away.

The important decision was to keep him following the coastline. A random aircraft over florida land would be a nightmare to locate and deal with on radar, even if the transponder was functional. Keeping him following the coastline would have made the fix much simpler.
Yes, or just ignore it. Experience with non-neurotypical people, or other cultures, can help you learn how to just shrug things off that you could otherwise perceive as rude. And then you can shrug it off even if it was intended to be rude.
When I had such experiences (very rare) I continued the interview, then I left and never came back. Life is too short for something else.

Oh, and I told all my friends to avoid those companies. It was a nice gesture for my friends, not a "cancel X" move.

If you have to hide your arguments behind accusations of bigotry, you don't have a very good argument. Border enforcement is about far more than blind xenophobia. Such accusations are reductive appeals to ethos over logos.
I bet this was a guy raised on video games. I was about to make a joke about it but I'm actually serious.

Once I, a former Houstonian with no experience driving on ice, was driving through the snowy mountains and lost control of my car. Instead of panicking, my video-game-induced laser focus kicked in and I calmly piloted the car until the wheels gained traction and I could park the car on the side of the road.

But learning how to focus in the midst of chaos, instead of panicking, is a technique I specifically had to learn in childhood to beat challenging levels of Super Mario Brothers.

Thanks, video games.
Not necessarily, but pilots usually fly those manually because a) they’re the exciting parts b) a certain number of manual takeoffs/landings per year are required to stay certified. (EDIT: This was about airliners, a Cessna is definitely 100% manual!)
