I have crossed the MX/US border many times and it's more annoying flying but when driving across I've never even spoken to the MX side either direction and the only thing I've ever been asked on the US side (after passport) do you have any meat or cheese or eggs etc. They seem to get really exercised by a couple of eggs.

Come to think of it I've never had much interaction on the EU/GB/RO/Egypt side either.

The Israelis made my daughter's life hell on departure when traveling with her academically famous and friend of Israel grandfather, so she's quite ferociously negative about ever returning there.

The most annoying so far has been flying back to the US. Kinda faschy a couple of times, mainly concerned with (allowed) food items. 20 yo assholes making you wait for the ok.

We got Global Entry a few years ago and it's a little nerve wracking the first time (did I get everything right?) but it really does cut out a lot of the stress after that. Global Entry and driving across the MX border is often a 5 min process, including the line!

If I was worried about my devices I would encrypt a hard drive and mail it to someplace near the arrival/destination spot. Then carry a bare bones base install over the border loaded with some innocuous stuff. As it is I haul a USB drive with a fully encrypted zfs pool that has innocuously named datasets over borders these days. I am happily no problem at all sure take it thanks. I can go now?

Doesn't solve the steadily cutting digits off the travel mate problem but not much to do in that circumstance anyway.

I sure wish you would travel. US cities have really gotten uninteresting compared to a lot of places in the world. I'd rather go to CDMX than NYC, for instance. Listen to your wife, she's right.

adding... I don't have any social media accounts at all. I have a gmail address, and a couple of migadu domains and that's it. Nobody has ever cared about anything IT ever. Whoops I forgot! I comment occasionally on HN hahaha.
Could it be a result of the manufacturing process? To my layman understanding, not all silicon is created equal.
As a non-mormon person who went through Army basic training, the Jewish service gave out food on Sundays, and everyone escaped work to go to their preferred service.
It's obviously very difficult to compress any religion's doctrines down into an easily digestible form, but the pamphlets used by the missionaries do a pretty good job of summarizing the most important points [0].

Beyond that, the Gospel Topics[1] section is, as you found, a bit of a rabbit hole, but contains the church's official stance on any topic where they've taken a stance. If you can't find it there, it's likely that there isn't an official consensus.

B was also true in the Savings and Loan Crisis of 1980.

The mark-to-market decline of long-term loans wiped out an entire category of financial services (the Savings and Loans service). Remember "A Wonderful Life??" George Bailey? That was "Savings and Loans".

Gone, the entirety of the entire sector was wiped out, despite the 30+ year bonds still being "good on their money".

North Korea is an exception, since it’s pretty hard to talk to actual locals.

Having lived in one of those illiberal countries for a while (China) I could clearly see how the US media distorted everything, reduced Chinese people to a monolith, downplayed or simply ignored all of the genuinely good things happening, and took every opportunity to highlight the negatives. It is to the point where every positive, interesting, or beautiful thing is reflexively shot down and dismissed.
In two previous jobs I've had "unlimited PTO" and almost everyone in the office worked more than if they'd been given bank holidays. Pretty sure it's just a mgmt strategy that sounds awesome on paper to workers and is known to actually reduce time away from office.

That said, I personally made good use of it. Had a coworker or two ask about how I thought it was "fair" to the company. I knew the rate at which my (salaried) time was being billed to customers and didn't see it their way at all :P
Do you have a source?

I think you're confusing Supplemental Security Income (SSI) with Social Security retirement benefits. Those are two different things.
As I recall, Stevens was considerably older than Hemingway at the time.
You dropped the context of the discussion. We aren’t talking about machines, but humans.

That is a different usage of the word “difficulty”, meaning something requiring more work to achieve an outcome, but that is not the relevant meaning in this context.

In the context of this discussion, “difficulty” is being used to describe the level of significant and sustained focused mental effort to grasp and integrate a new concept into one’s existing body of knowledge.
Nah that’s not true. Mxalloc() takes fast/chip flags just like AllocVec() etc. Fastram support was available since TOS v2, 1988(89?).

> Its only popular as an aesthetic

This is a good way to put it. I have friends who got very mixed up with the El Chapo Trap House content. It has certainly scrambled their brains and made them insufferable - but for all of the worship of dictators and crude jokes about guillotining dentists they now make, none of them really care enough about local politics to actually start attending caucuses, let alone create militias.
Here's a recording from '95 entitled the same: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1zDuOPkMSw

How does a single pivot side-pull caliper bicycle brake work?
I drove to the grocery store yesterday and realized that I forgot my wallet. I decided to gamble that Tap-to-Pay was available and would work. I was able to complete my purchase but not before playing the where to tap game.

I think my Android phone's NFC coil is smack in the middle, which requires moving my hand from a cupping to clawing hold while keeping the screen on and not touching it. Then slowly rubbing it around the POS terminal starting first with the Tap-to-Pay logo until the screen on my phone indicates it's talking.

Android manufacturers really need to work on the placement of NFC coils. Since cameras are on the top right corner of the phone, they should place the coils in the top left. I know Apple's coil is near the top but I've never used an iPhone for T2P so I'm not sure how much that improves the experience. Knowing Apple it's better, I can't imagine they could find a way to make it worse.
I have been yearning for something like this for so long as I use multiple streaming services. As an example, I wanted to add the song to the other streaming services as soon as I added it to my library in any of them. H
Two different posts have called out that specific part, and I don't get why. It fits just fine, in context. The overall tone of the article, I get criticizing, but that part seems entirely fine to me.

(the context is that the author's parents seem to have disliked the store, and ran a press that published a book that was sharply critical of Wal Mart, with the result that the author went many years without visiting one—this context is presented right before that entirely reasonable and appropriate use of "transgressive")

By having a targeted drill bit insertion only on the memory chip, you're reducing the amount of unusable e-waste. Everything else about the iPad can be recycled into other broken iPads, including the metal back. The main board remains a potential donor board for specific chips that could be replaced.
When I went to DPRK, the entire visit was completely orchestrated - but I still got to see people go about their daily lives (even tho I had no idea who they were and had no way of interacting with them). I saw peasants carrying bundles of sticks along empty roads and witnessed how impoverished they really are. I got to kick a ball around with some kids and see locals enjoying a sunny Sunday in the park. I also looked out my hotel window at night and saw a city in darkness.

When visiting Turkmenistan, I was completely unsupervised - and it was eye-opening and completely bizarre. I actually interacted with the locals and got to hear their stories - same in China and Uzbekistan.
A standing desk and a "premium" chair (Steelcase Leap).

A lot of people I talk to about spending $800-1K on a chair rebuke the very idea; while they themselves are on their second or third IKEA MARKUS ($300/per); while offering a far worse user experience in the interim. Depending on where you live, there's also an unusually large supply on the used market due to telecommutting.

There's a saying: "Spend money on what separates you from the ground." Meaning shoes, beds, and chairs. But I'd also say a desk that is supporting your hands, wrists, and arms should maybe count. Standing desks can help a lot with sitting too long in one position, in particular if your work has times when you don't need to type you can switch to a non-traditional handheld mouse (e.g. ELECOM Relacon), and stand more naturally.

YMMV of course.
I'd agree with that too.

I'd be open to something truly simple (Nomad perhaps?) over K8S in some scenarios, but if I'm going to take a gamble, it's going to have to be a lot simpler to provide enough benefit on taking a chance on a less popular piece of tech.
I think a great undergrad student would do just as well at any top-tier research institution. I would bias towards schools near Boston, NYC and SF/Palo Alto for the industry connections and opportunities. Maybe MI/PA for Auto/robotics.

All top-tier institutions have the faculty and opportunities to support undergrads as much as necessary. Extremely successful undergrads, are such because of what they do outside/beyond the classroom not because of the core coursework. If you continue beyond undergrad, pick a school that aligns with your research interest or has the industry network that you need.
Its a lot like movie studios making sequels without subtext or numbers to have a 'cleaner' title.

Really bizarre practice that doesn't actually make it easier for the consumer, as the year of release becomes the number instead.
But they're organizing online. That's the thing. When it was just the Jonestown cult or the Waco terrorists, that was at least localized. But now they're able to use the Internet to whip up 10k people to assault the Capitol when they don't get their way. That's a real problem.
Data modelling is important to highlight, and if OP not familiar with the concept and need then likely won’t see the obvious value of Cube.
Yes, that is what I was talking about. They were late creating a mobile presence for Facebook. Then of course, Instagram and WhatsApp were both acquisitions. Definitely good acquisitions, but pretty obvious ones. They luckily had plenty of money at the time to plow into the already successful Insta and WhatsApp mobile apps.
Is it the most important market? USA is only 331m people. What are your metrics of "importance"?

Do Apple users have the most disposable income or are they heavy credit users? Because Apple's credit system and paying for devices on the drip accounts for a big uptick in Champagne-lifestyle-lemonade-budget social media influencers. "Dress for the job you want, not the one you have".

I see plenty of iPhones on the local council estate, and I see lots of BMWs, and designer clothing, seemingly mimicking the "yuppies" of yore. Do you think they're actually wealthy? Or do you think it's more likely to be bought on the drip? Klarna is huge too.
Sort of. I think it's more nuanced than that.

Communism rebalances the relative worth of people in society. I.e. my grandfather, an engineer, earned less than a factory worker. An average or passing artist could earn a decent living in the Soviet Union, compared to having scraps today (in relative terms).

I notice this calculus as I have an artistic career and a software career. I would like to pursue the artistic career (and am actually pretty good at it), but I would make many multiples less than I currently do in software. This is partly because of how we've financialized/structured the economy (i.e. software monopolies should have been broken up, taxes imposed, etc), not because the work is actually worth less in some sense.

Think about the cost dynamic ("interpreted") languages incur. They are an order of magnitude or two slower than native code. Nevertheless, they are used all the time, for their simplicity of starting and flexibility.

Human time costs way more than CPU time.

I remember that it was proven that any algorithm on mutable data can be implemented on immutable data paying no more than O(log N) cost for that. It may be a very reasonable cost for all the benefits immutable data bring, like absence of data races, and general simplicity of operation which makes programmers' job way easier. The general thrust towards functional and immutable in the industry is not (just) fashion but real benefits in the speed and quality of writing the code. See how React, with its pretty purist functional and immutable approach, took the world of web dev by storm.

No, that won't do. Model builders are well aware that there are factors that aren't included in the models. But in many domains, and orbital mechanics is one of them, the accuracy of our experimental knowledge is high enough that we can be sure that whatever factors are not in our models are negligible. So just waving one's hands and muttering "entropy" or "dissolution" or "something something unreliable, occasional, and probabilistic factors" doesn't cut it in this domain. detrites needs to back up the very strong claim he made, that I originally responded to, with something much more specific than that.

I'm curious if there is a similar bacteria that triggers Crohn's disease and/or Ulcerative Colitis.

I'm wondering this because there is a large crossover in the biologic "TNF Blocker" drugs that treat RA, Crohn's and UC (Humira, Remicade, etc).
>> I'm a former Mormon (I guess you could call me an "ex-mormon").

OP literally said they don't identify as a Mormon any more, so your response feels like a knee-jerk reaction against something you've seen elsewhere, rather than an actual response to their comment. They're speaking from the outside looking at others on the outside, not trying to justify their own current beliefs.

It's interesting to me that we debate economic ideas from the mercantile age.

Economics is a meta-game, the game has changed significantly over the last 200 years.

But we are taught economics in a historical context, not in a future context, so we talk about ideas from generations ago.

Good point; if you have impact against sketchiness, you draw fire from the sketchy upon yourself.

Maybe assemble some trustworthy network of local journalists who can get accurate info, and who can tell you when they cannot get accurate info? And when a place is too hostile to find trustworthy journalists, that alone might make that place a no-go? (You'd still be subject to high-touch compromise in some cases, but maybe not the current problem of automated LLM-powered botnet deluges.)

Personally, I don't have the stomach for taking on state actors as adversaries (too lawless and scary), but this is the kind of thing someone who feels nigh-invincible could undertake to "change the world" in a positive and selfless way.
