It's totally possible to go from TN to GC but you won't be able to leave the United States from the point you file your I140/I485 until your Advanced Parole document turns up. You also can't get a new TN should you need one.
If the holes are quickly healed by sunlight, and only local to where a satellite is launched, the answer would seem to be no.
So you are unwilling to consider what we have these people reporting are those probes?

Without evidence, that's a really reasonable position that I can respect.

Edit - I wanted to point out that the probes need not strip the system of resources. They might exist to observe, document, and relay data.

Thank you for your response.

No, I want the isolation.

That’s the thing about this. It creates very clear and strong boundaries which are easily enforceable.

While your comment addresses the most common factors contributing to addiction, it doesn't really answer the question of how to let children experience the consequences of addiction in a way that's low stakes and not irreversible.
This is exactly my experience too. My usual gas station experience involves waiting in a long line (they’ve only got one guy working the pumps, so only 2 or 3 pumps are open); pulling up to a pump; waiting a while for the attendant to get to me; handing him my credit card and yelling my rewards phone number at him (my gas tank is on the passenger side, making this annoying and error-prone); waiting briefly for the actual pumping; and then waiting for the guy to come back around to disconnect the hose.

It’s 5-10 minutes of waiting on a good day, or upwards of 20 minutes on a bad day, for 60 seconds of pumping gas. All the while most of the pumps are sitting there unused.
It's still fine, they created an escape outlet for journalists and public figures in various communities to escape to if they finally get pushed out of Twitter. A lot of them haven't left yet because they're attached to their current following, but if it starts becoming unbearable or they start to lose reach they may pull over enough communities that it can supplant the role in the culture Twitter used to have. As far as I know the reasons people use twitter are different, there's tech twitter, and art twitter, and media twitter, and corporate twitter and people engage with them for different reasons. Threads would need to replace those reasons.
Peer pressure encourages children. When many people around us have them, we feel like having them.

But in America, most millennials and gen Z are so stressed they cannot imagine a life with a dependent child.

If someone wants chimes in with a "avocado toast" comment, save your energy. We know about it. That $5 is not enough to pay the rent, let alone raising a child.

The collapse of mathematical thought that was the Middle Ages actually began with a huge slow-down in hellenistic (Roman) times, i.e. the Middle Ages was more of a continuation of a trend. I’m not convinced that Rome on its own would develop the necessary mathematics to drive progress forward.
Hi Peter, thanks for doing this AMA!

I am from India as well, and I am currently a startup co-founder for a self-funded startup that currently employs about 5 American Citizens full time. My other co-founder is with me on the idea of continuing the self-funding situation and acquire more customers which will increase our revenue.

I am considering applying for EB-1 but wondering what my changes would be to get a GC through that path, would you rather advise me to wait a bit more until we hit 10 American Citizen workers in our company?

"...especially when most parents only ever have one or two children."

That I believe is part of it. My parents were children before WWII and both came from large families—there were seven siblings on each side. On the other hand my generation had typically two kids.

It would be ludicrous to suggest that my grandparents didn't love their kids or care as much about them given their numbers but the fact is—put brutally—there was considerable solace in having 'spares'.

Today, it is very easy to forget that prewar many more kids per capita never reached adulthood. Most people alive today have never known a time without penicillin or the pre-polio-vaccine days. People in those days were much more fatalistic about life and the lives of their kids as life back then was considerably more 'fragile'. Today, we expect our kids to reach adulthood and outlive us, back then most hoped that would happen but they were more circumspect about it. When a kid died of course parents would be terribly upset but when it happened they always knew there was more chance of it happening than just a remote possability.

I noticed this fatalism in my grandparents, especially my grandmother, she came from a big family and she had a big family and in both cases some kids died before reaching adulthood.
Yep, if you let users install apps, they may install malware.

They may also install porn, gambling, lgbtq apps or whatever else you don't approve of.

Apple lets the CCP access Chinese iCloud data. They takedown dissodent apps in foreign countries. They block perfectly legal non-malware apps.
> Also, make sure you tell them you are on TN status or they will happily wave you through on B1 which you won't know until you download your updated I94.

Bingo. I had the unfortunate experience of crossing after obtaining a renewal through USCIS, but before my original TN had expired.

Despite giving them all of documentation, including the I-797A and new I94, the agent entered me based on my old TN, which expired.... a couple days later.
With PEP703 you would compile Python either for multi or single-threading mode. The mode affects the ABI and therefore which C extensions are available. Eventually all C extensions would have an available port to the new ABI.

The chosen solution is similar to how PHP used TSRMLS_ macros in the Zend engine - if threadsafety (ZTS) was #defined, all functions took an extra thread context parameter, breaking ABI.
I might be jaded but I assume the percentage of people "doing it right", among AWS customers, is in the single digit.

Most companies don't care about anything but price. The rest is largely theatre, particularly outside the tightly-regulated sectors like healthcare and banking.
I think the claim isn't that "language has no rules" but rather that the "rules" are far more context dependent and subject to change over time than would ordinarily be implied by the use of the word "rules".

Even at the lowest level of phonemes to morphemes, accents introduce a huge amount of variety, and it doesn't really get more orderly as you increase the level of abstraction.
This is absurd cable news pundit-level commentary. It doesn’t sound like you’ve actually looked into this. More that you’ve taken some snippets of your life experience and explained it using your preconceived worldview. Nothing empirical about it. Nothing scientific. And the cherry on top is the implication that you’re “saying what we are all thinking”. Your experience teaching engineering or maths courses doesn’t qualify your baseless intuition as to causality, especially when the stakes are so high as to typecast such large groups of people.

This is a classic case of a misplaced assumption of transferable expertise.
chartscss.org could cover off basic stuff
I bought an iPhone because Android vendors kept leaving me high and dry after a few years. I'm now on year 6 with the iPhone and it's still working great. As I understand it, I have another year or two before Apple stops supporting it with updates.

That makes the iPhone far cheaper than any comparable Android phone I could have bought back then.

Maybe today Android vendors are offering longer support horizons but I've been burned multiple times and won't trust that ecosystem again.

To me this feels more like the situation where someone with money in the bank can buy $200 shoes which will last 10 years, while someone living paycheck to paycheck has to keep buying $40 shoes that fall apart after a year.

You could find a US company with an office in the UK that will let you work there for a year before brining you to the US on an L1. You could also apply for an O1 if you’ve published a lot.
And the iPhone SE is cheaper, faster and will get security updates longer…
Well yeah if you're treading water living paycheck to paycheck, then you're not making a profit. But anybody in that situation with an opportunity to make more money will jump at it, because the idea is to make more money than you're spending, e.g. to earn a profit.

As a motorcyclist, this would drive me nuts. I only let an attendant do the job once, and they dribbled all over my tank. How is it that I, a non-attendant, pretty much never spray or spill all over my tank, but the paid experts do?

I get the same feedback when mentioning this to other bikers.
The problem is your claim of conflict. Measurement of the government by the people can never be considered a conflict. If the data shows that the government, the CDE, failed to improve outcomes, that is just data. It is the opposite of a conflict. The CDE is required to improve outcomes: suppressing information that it failed to do so is antithetical to that outcome. The CDE needs this information to do its job, regardless of claims by PHBs to the contrary.
I suspect that the “Burn it all down” crowd view Twitter through the outrage content lens whereas there are a lot of different communities.
As it turns out, a childrens board game does not actually make strong arguments about complex economic theories
> Go to a dedicated board game store and you'll see such a wider variety than the branded Monopoly sets on sale at big box stores.

Stores like Target carry far more board games than just branded copies of Monopoly. Shit they sell Cards Against Humanity at Target. Barnes & Noble carries and even wider selection of board games and pen and paper role playing games. So big chains are definitely not limited to Monopoly.

While small game stores can carry a wider selection than big chains, most make their nut selling the bigger brand games or toys. There might be Black Swan stores able to specialize in Ticket to Ride or Carcasone expansions but that's not the common case.

I know the owners of quite a few small game stores. They are to a store struggling to keep the lights on because their costs are butting right up against their revenue. Charm is great and all but it doesn't pay the bills.

Again I'm not arguing against small shops but there's not much they offer above and beyond what can be found in big chains or online. The things they can offer, like a game play space, aren't easy or even possible to monetize.

If you allocate an AWS instance without any public IPv4 address, does that mean that it won't be able to access sites on the IPv4 only internet?
Thank you for this post, I found it very insightful and a good overview of the current state
I disagree, but I don't think this is a good platform to list arguments and supporting explanations. I've tried to write a longer post, but explanations are too long to be sufficient.

These EV recumbents are too low to be safe in traffic, but at least they are trikes and so a bit more stable than two wheeled recumbents. There are a couple of them riding around here where I live and while fast they are a huge nuisance on the bike paths because they're faster than everybody else and the people riding them believe that the rest of the population on the bike path are 'moving obstacles' that they have to overtake, even if it isn't possible (in that sense they are quite similar to the packs of racing bikes that always appear in the summer).

Normal recumbents are also bloody dangerous. I'm a pretty experienced cyclist, have taken many experimental bikes out for a spin. Finally, a recumbent got me, a simple traffic obstacle took the front wheel off the ground and that was that. Ambulance ride, complex double fracture and a 7 hour operation later I can walk so I got very lucky. This was 6 years ago. There isn't a day that I think 'why did I have to try that particular bike, it felt dangerous from the first moment'. Recumbents are not stable like normal bikes are. Anything goes wrong, you fall, there is no recovery. If the circumstances are bad enough that will do you in, if you're lucky, like me, you end up with a daily reminder. Don't ride recumbents in traffic, even if it feels like a great idea, they're fast as can be and you have next to no wind resistance. The failure modes are inherent in the way the bike works and there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it (leg suck, balancing by steering) and they're invisible from inside a car.

Another problem with these is that they have a bad turning radius and don't mix well with other traffic on a bike path because of their width.

Regular e-bikes are also 80% (or even more) efficient than electric cars and don't have the disadvantages.

You earned my disagreement right there!
It’s not just the current government, the whole of Parliament including the various committees are eager to just go along with the intelligence and security agencies who tell them encryption is bad.
Don’t bother with this amateurish article and instead just read the work it’s responding to, which is Bret Devereaux’s fantastic essay on the topic https://acoup.blog/2022/08/26/collections-why-no-roman-indus... . Actually by a professional historian and expert on the Roman Empire, and a lovely piece of writing.

More or less, yes, although I'm not sure what you mean by "solar most abundant and cost-effective"
opportunity cost entails another opportunity, and there is not other opportunity mentioned.

Along these lines, it could be "it's going to cost me money to do this, can I earn it back?" although I don't think that's a typical calculation for a 56 yo considering college.
I think the parent is not so much complaining that it's doable, more that the concept of play dates as a thing at all is what's infuriating. I agree with this as well.

When I was young, my parents knew the parents of maybe one or two of my friends, and that was only largely because they knew each other from somewhere else. We didn't need to have our parents organize and sync up their schedules to go play together. We'd just go and meet up. If no one was around outside, might go up and knock on the door of a few friends see if they wanted to do something. But ultimately, we had largely free reign to ourselves.

Now, at a later age, I also really wouldn't want to have to get to know the parents of my kids' friends either. Meet once or twice to get to see them face-to-face, maybe get some basic contact info just in case, but for the most part, I don't really want my kids' social relationships to be based on how well I can get along with other parents (with a few small exceptions.)
Only insignificantly. Most of the radiation is filtered/diverted by the magnetosphere. The only really practical effect of the disturbance is making the already hard to predict sky-wave propagation of HF even more harder to predict and characterize. Which is today realistically of an interest to HAMs and mostly as an fallback for intelligence agencies and diplomatic services.

Edit: It also somewhat changes the scatter/delay characteristics of GNSS, which may or may not cause a somewhat significant error of the GNSS fix (it probably should not, but it can).

Hello! I wrote this post and I have a couple of things to say about this "DNS is not actually hard" take. It took me many years to feel totally comfortable debugging DNS problems, and I wrote this post to explain why I think it was hard for me.

I also used to think that "no, actually, it's easy!" was an encouraging response to "this is hard to learn". And I kind of get it! I love DNS! I think it is surprisingly simple in many ways, and I've written about that a lot, for example in https://implement-dns.wizardzines.com which shows you how to implement a toy DNS resolver from scratch in some pretty simple Python code.

But over the years I've learned that "no, it's easy to learn!", instead of coming off as an encouraging comment ("you can do it!"), often gets received as "no, it's not hard, actually the problem is that you're dumb". Like, I've been confused about this for years, and you're telling me that, no, actually it's easy? Not that helpful!

So I've stopped telling people that, and instead I put a huge amount of work into trying to understand _why_ people find certain things hard and work to help remove some of those barriers.
I work with large private K-12 datasets regularly. Even as a passer-by, we had one for a big government-issued dataset in Australia. It might’ve been census data? It might’ve been just over five years ago? I actually don’t care. The principles of effective data anonymisation, esp. in education, are understood by people that actually work in this area. It seems odd to be so demanding.
Of course you can run arbitrary executables on a Mac. You can also get their toolchain for free and use that, or you can install gcc or other compilers that support Macs.

Also what is a diversity group?
Don't believe the ionosphere has any role in any sort of radiation absorption, outside of RF?
This is stupid, like the rest of the articles on climatechangedispatch.com. The Lancet paper makes no attempt to say that heat-related deaths are worse than cold-related deaths. The paper is about the risk for temperature related death by age group in European cities, and the blog's version of the plot does not show that at all, removing the age groups entirely.
I'm not trying to sound smart but this has been going on since like the 80s...

It will be both. "Content", meant in a derogatory way, will go to zero, ideally on the demand side as well as the supply side because I think the existence of llms drives down the value of filler content in the wild as well. And thoughtful analysis of good writing that llms are not capable of will become increasingly sought after. I can actually see a future where llms help clean up the internet by driving demand away from crap meant to draw viewers toward ads and towards actual human viewpoints and analysis.

The thing about the "authoritarian streak" in the UK is that historically as a people we have mostly trusted the government and its police and security services to use the powers they give themselves by law appropriately. And although obviously there have been some serious failings in the past it's probably fair to say that overall they have earned that trust more than some of their counterparts in some other Western democracies so enough of our people continue to give them that trust that the same culture can continue. The danger for us is that it's always possible for the needle to move towards more frequent or routine abuses of power but once those measures make it into statute our trust-based system has few checks and balances to help us recover if it turns out someone went too far that time. That in turn is because our political/electoral system is itself fundamentally broken but also self-sustaining, which is a much bigger problem than just the risks of authoritarianism that we're discussing here.
