Holding up a blank piece of paper is a completely different scenario and topic! We are talking about normal, everyday travel for business and recreation. If you go there and do something taboo, something that's clearly intended to cause trouble, then what do you expect?

With any foreign country you should understand their cultural norms and laws. Your own ignorance is a valid consideration for travel, not being arrested as a political prisoner. You won't get in any trouble as a tourist or business person 99% of the time.
Oh FFS plenty of government services do the exact same thing. The issue isn't private/public. It's our modern development culture of not looking for edge cases to begin with, and ignoring them when they arise later.

My city uses Google to fill addresses on their tax portal, so for new construction this exact issue arises. My power company (a public utility) uses recaptcha for logins and I frequently struggle with it.

Anyone know how this compares to Huginn? I've built out some self hosted automation on Huginn and it works great once it's set up, but it's just a bit janky and difficult to use. And getting initial flows set up can be frustrating as the diagnostics aren't always great.

> that doesn't give you a free pass to not get arrested when you do break another law

This is covered in the article. Part of the program, after 'boxing in' the protesters, is to indiscriminately arrest everyone regardless of any crimes committed. Charges will be handed off later.

This is a distant relative of the 'I've got nothing to hide' argument in favor of surveillance. In effect, it looks like just being there is enough to get arrested - and this is ignoring the fact that you may actually try to defend yourself when being pushed and prevented from leaving by armed police, maybe while breathing in some tear gas or pepper spray. You may even consider that the goal of the whole operation is to stir up violence, so that everyone has a reason to be arrested...

We are in our ninth year of homeschooling. My wife and I attended private and public schools and grew up with typical biases against homeschooling, e.g. they lack social skills. When we got married, we always assumed we'd send our kids to traditional schools.

What we learned, though, is that homeschooling has changed since we were in school. Back then, it was a niche, and the sort of parents who chose to homeschool usually existed on the fringe (and probably lacked social skills themselves).

Nowadays, there are a lot more "normal" families who choose to homeschool. Our family, and many others we've encountered, values and promotes social skills. Our kids attend co-ops, play sports, and do other activities with their peers.

And because the demographics of homeschoolers have changed, so too have the ways that they homeschool. It's not very surprising that there is more collaborative teaching, where parents remain the primary educators, but certain subjects are outsourced to co-ops, online sessions on Outschool, etc.
> Did you mean Germany, Austria or Italy?

Talking about irregular migration, it's significantly harder to enter the UK directly from either Germany, Austria or Italy. Air carriers check passports and visas (indeed BA pulled a relative of mine this morning at a London airport for what the airline termed a "visa check" during an attempt to check in online).

Paying a people smuggler to take you across the Channel from France to the UK would appear to be significantly simpler. The UK government publishes detailed statistics on irregular migration routes, and for the last few years small boats represent by far largest proportion of irregular migration arrivals, not air.[0]

Synposis: Shitty Silly-Con valley company is selling "teaching homeschoolers" under the guise of "microschooling" and "guides" instead of proper teachers. Reading in any of these scam companies, and you'll find quickly that they are not schools, and these are not accredited teachers. But again, deregulation and demolishment of public sector structures and laws to further private interests IS the point, as we'll see.

And their payment model is bonkers.... https://www.prenda.com/empowering-learners

The Prenda Fee - "The Prenda fee for the 2023-2024 school year is $2,199." (As in, each student's family pays this to Prenda)

The Guide Fee - "The guide fee is set by you as the guide and will vary from microschool to microschool." (AKA The Uber/AirBNB model of education, where the intermediates have no knowledge and all the risk.)

And some states allow redirecting funds from state education money to pay for this new scam. And this goes back to a previous post I commented on, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37179921 . Now, we can add "Expensive Imaginary Scam Education".

In reality, send your children to public school, and use the money you'd waste on this scam to visit museums, universities, libraries, historical sites, and the like. BE the enriching force in your child's life.

Russian government has taken extremely hostile angle towards foreign owned businesses attempting to leave Russia. That is - if they stay and continue to operate - the government leaves them for the most part alone, at least for now. Any businesses attempting a sale or reduction in operations are targeted for government action ranging from huge portion of sale proceeds forfeited, forced takeovers etc. Businesses will remember this costly lesson for a long time as far as foreign investments in Russia are concerned.

> Ad blockers should not be considered "non standard".

In this specific case the behavior is caused by more than a run of the mill adblocker with standard blocking lists. The OP seems to be using a very aggressive blocking list (eg. blocking all google services), or blocking all third party scripts altogether.

>Even if blockers do count as non-standard, random scripts not loading should not be capable of bringing down your site, and this should've been clear even before the npm left-pad debacle.

"shouldn't" is debatable here, especially when the cost to mitigate those issues are non-trivial (engineering effort) and the chance of it occurring (eg. google maps randomly failing) is low. A failed hard drive shouldn't bring down a computer either, but how many of us are using laptops with RAID1 drives?

You realize that the whole point of self driving taxis is that they are cheaper to run than regular taxis, and that's how they will compete right?

Ok, so you just don't like taxis in general then.

That's fine, but it changes nothing about the idea that self driving taxis are strictly better than regular taxis.

> I could see a nasty rebound effect [1] through increased convenience

Oh the irony of this statement.

At the very beginning of you post, you talk about how the benefits of self driving cars are temporary, and yet now you admit that the problem is that they are too good.

I am glad that I have convinced you that self driving cars are such a benefit, such a popular consumer product that everyone will love, so much so that it will cause problems because of just how useful they are!
It will never make sense because it's nonsense: you can eat dozens of pizzas for $10, so it makes no sense to say that if you don't want to pay $10 for just a single pizza means you don't value pizza (and no one was talking about "give it to me for free now")
NES is a little unusual in this respect because the vast majority of cartridges have "mapper" hardware that must be emulated, and there has been a more-or-less continuous trickle of unlicensed cartridges over the years, some of which have unique mappers. If memory serves you can get to something like 95% compatibility with the few dozen most common mappers, but then there's a pile of oddball mappers that are each used by 1 or 2 games (many of which are just pirate hacks of a licensed game).
Ironically, the problem in this case is that cash requires too much trust; trust that local deposits won't be raided by thieves.

> My eyes just glaze over when even the "high-level explanation" jumps into formal notation like this.

This is simply not factual. I read your comment and then found the offending passage in page 2. As a matter of fact, it starts with definition of terms, plainly stating we have two encryption schemes, one deterministic, the other randomized. We then take a set of documents, and for each document we take its set of keywords and then encrypt them using the two schemes and this what each 'record' ("tuple") in the db looks like. Now when you want to search, you take the deterministic scheme and encrypt using that and send it over to the EDB ...

It then goes on to discuss why this is not the most secure way ("it leaks too much information").

> They can search your physical property to see if there is evidence you plan to work in the US or are lying about your intentions for entering the US (all countries do this).

But doing this is useless. It only works once.

People who intend to work on a travel visa bring their work documents across the border, one of them gets caught, they object and take it to court. If the court says the search is allowed then it's henceforth public knowledge that it's allowed so people intending to do this stop physically carrying their documents across the border and instead transfer them over the internet.

Already it's common guidance for anyone to do that even if you're not breaking any laws, because it keeps them from rifling through your life and detaining you while they force you to explain whatever nonsense false positives they may find.

At which point the search is purely an inconvenience to innocent people and a trap for the unwary because anyone actually breaking the law can easily avoid physically transporting any incriminating documents across the border.
Leas fortunate in what? We don’t even know housing prices there yet. It could be dirt cheap since they bought the land very cheaply, instead of having a stack of landlords from multiple generations taking their cut in price increase as in a usual city. Such cities have a chance of actually being affordable - at least initially. And the more we have them, the more competition will that create and more affordable they will be. How is it different from buying a permanent license to a software product - but the one you can also sell and buy a new one!

Being an owner in a business is a typical way to route around labor laws completely.

If you're a restaurant or retailer that needs your staff to work 14 hour days 7 days a week, giving ownership is a fairly common scheme to CYA against future lawsuits. The ownership shares are usually miserly and forced-transferrable upon leaving.

Not saying that's what's happening here, but it could be.

Copy editing issues are not new, but what shocks me is that they seem to be proliferating just as the tools for grammar and spell checking have vastly improved. Even the free Google checker you get in most of their products seems to give me a false positive one in a blue moon and almost never misses a mistake. Surely you could automate these issues away, like not accept copy unless it passed an automatic copy editing tool.

Exactly, using the IV for supporting their highly risky 0DTE option trading strategies and gambling on earnings rather than investing long term?

That is the point on long term 'investing'.

A much lower risk and patient strategy to invest and buy such low priced stocks at the bottom for the long term and take profit after the price jump rather than gambling on ridiculous short term option trades or the retail favourite of 0DTE trading strategies which that is just plain gambling.

Biggest problem I think is really staffing the infrastructure tasks sufficiently.

You will get bled down to practically no headcount being allocated to infrastructure, with all the headcount assigned to "big bets" on the non open-source products and the "skunkworks" projects trying to pivot the company into something new.

Even when we had a team come in and get assigned to pick up a neglected piece of old technology instead of focusing on getting the maintenance solid and fixing all the shit in the backlog, it was all "big bet" features and when those fizzled the team got slowly cut down until the project failed.

Overzealous highly theoretical interpretation that tries to pass itself off as an obvious truth and wrongly asserts that other interpretations are misconceptions. In other words, a bunch of bullshit.
The empty space interpretation is still covered at the university level and is largely regarded as a good interpretation, though, as is the case with science, one that is lacking enough correlation with observed phenomenon to be considered "the truth." And the same is taught about the cloud interpretation.
Neither of these ideas are meant to represent any truths about anything. These are useful tools in making mathematical predictions about the universe. And in that regard, they both work.

I find it funny how antagonistic the West is against BRICS; the West has ignored the Global South for far too long, and worse, depletes those countries of resources and getting rich off of them. Countries have now seen that they can't rely on the US not to meddle.

Look at what America did to their ally South Africa, the ambassador accused us without proof and our currency dropped like a rock. The US also had its army in Syria protect private military contractors who protect US companies extracting oil from Syria. They're hypocrites as China is their biggest trading partner. France produces 70% of its electricity from nuclear and gets the majority of its fuel from Africa. And West Africa is just as poor as it left them.

India and China having border skirmishes don't make them sworn enemies of each other. In fact, China is one of India's largest trading partners. The US and Canada even has border disputes; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixon_Entrance.

Also, it's not a military bloc. And you can understand why the Global South countries would want this alliance to grow their economies and be less reliant on Western imposition. On average, African countries loans cost 4% more than America and 8% more than Europe, they're being taken advantage of and their natural resources depleted.

And now those countries want to come together to build up their economies through the New Development Bank which aims to increase local currency borrowing to 30%.

The BRICS countries constitute more than 50% of the population and 26% of the world's nominal GDP but have only 14% of the IMF's voting rights.

They aren't looking to unsettle the dollar, but be less reliant on it.
The problem is they can’t justify your cost if you go outside the planned work load. They could probably still quantify it but it’s difficult to assess your impact when your effort doesn’t count towards velocity and delivery of business outcomes. If you work does impact those things, it should be a ticket/story/task so that the impact of work can be measured (seen…). I would suggest, in the future, adding these things to the backlog as you come up with them and bring them up during planning.

This is not true. Euro NCAP ratings depend on how the car damages pedestrians:

and crash avoidance technology:

https://www.euroncap.com/en/vehicle-safety/the-ratings-expla...

The effect this has on the cars on the market is huge. Jaguar and Mercedes had to remove their iconic badges, pop-up headlights disappeared, the fronts of cars are much higher and rounded to reduce head injuries in a crash, and every modern car has a multitude of crash avoidance technology that defaults to being turned on when the car is started.

I'm wondering why there are no such buses where you live?
