> DJI, Chinese electric cars/phones, mass-produced solar and battery tech and firearms manufactured abroad to name a few. All of which are being considered for bans under the pretense that they're not domestic enough to trust and import.

Consumers can own all these things without fear of being reported. I work with an official DJI reseller and I automate DJI gear for government. What is the leading example of the US banning consumers from owning a product unless you invest?

The best family trip my wife and I did with my kids (8 and 12) was Amtrak from AZ -> DC -> NYC. It was relaxing, fun and different. We even did it in coach (so no private room) and it was still amazing.

We flew home -- and even though the flight time was about 5.5 hours - it was stressful and a let down. Your family's milage may vary.
There are many examples, but the most famous is TikTok. They had to either sell part of their company [to an American company] or be banned in the US. They didn't sell so now they're being banned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_TikTok_in_the_...

Much more common than an outright ban is simply egregious tariffs. (Which didn't do anything to stave off foreign competition or increase local competition, but it did line our pockets)
Well, "it worked for me." Similar reports for many people who have done fast-track Heisig speed runs, such as Heisig himself. It takes about 10 seconds of initial study to fix a story in mind (which is actually quite long--seriously count out 10 seconds slowly and imagine that time spent fully focused on the character at hand), and a review sequence that gets it in your long-term memory.

There are in fact many people who have learned 4000+ Chinese characters, using this or other methods.
Hmm. Accounting solved this issue several hundred years ago. I wish vendors would catch up to what monks did in the Middle Ages.

First, entries are made in an append only journal. When a new month begins, you archived the old one and start a new one.

Second, you can have several journals. For example one for each subsidiary.

Third, you collect each day’s worth of entries into a consolidated journal.

Fourth, from the consolidated journal, you make adjustments to your running totals/running balance. However, this ledger is not the source of truth. If there is any dispute, you go back to the journals.

What this means is the source of truth is immutable append only (transaction journal). For speedy retrievals of data, you cache the running totals (data ledger) by upserts.

To make any corrections, you create a new journal entry that negates the bad one.
Ah, I thought ICE also required reservations but that's only the case if the train is otherwise booked out (source https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/72538/what-if-i-u...). For me, trains like TGV, ICE, and perhaps Nightjet make up the bulk of the distance to most places I go, so for me the reservations were pretty much required no matter where you go; apparently not really for ICE then!
If you wait for the temperature to drop, and the universe is expanding, distant galaxies will recede to the point that they are now moving away faster than the speed of light and their matter is no longer available to contribute.
"Even if all the governments of the world were to understand the "threat" and be in deadly fear of it, progress toward the goal would continue. In fact, the competitive advantage of every advance in automation is so compelling that passing laws, or having customs, that forbid such things merely assures that someone else will get them first."
Sort of referenced above. TKDN in Indonesia requires a substantial part of the product to be sourced internally. I guess the way around this in the case of special goods is to invest in the country. Sounds effectively like a tariff but maybe not.
Damned if I know; best guess would be a consequence of (a) in decently busy cities train stations tend to be in dense areas where it's not economical to stick a car rental, where airports tend to have some acreage around them where you can stick a rental lot and (b) small towns only get a few trains a day and fewer non-residents detraining, so it's neither worth keeping a rental office open just for the train station or even considering its location, since the fraction of rentals from the train station is small compared to eg people getting a rental while their car is in the shop.

No, it's like missed payment, missed taxes and then being told to pay up. When a company promises to invest money in a country it's not from the bottom of their charitable hearts. It's because they get tons of benefits, preferences, cuts for that. If you don't invest after that you basically are going for a free ride. In fact this looks like least of a shake-down. Shake down was what was done in Brazil to X (and I actually loved that shakedown - that's a different story), shakedown is what India did to TikTok (again, it was needed), what US did to Huawei (and rightly so) etc.

Also you have generously not included parts of the article that clarifies things.

That's not an example of the US banning a company for not investing into the US.

USG is banning (only passed House) [1] DJI because Chinese law requires DJI to hand over data and USG is not a fan. This may be a bit like calling the kettle black because of various US laws but again it's not an example of the US banning a company for not investing.

You used to be able to get uncleaned late Roman bronze coins from the Balkans for about a buck apiece in the early 2000s, so I’d guess they’d be maybe $3-5 each now. Then you get the fun of very carefully removing the encrustations to reveal the coin underneath. You generally ended up with a coin worth about what you paid for it, but it was fun.
> a single set of rules, 59% of a sample corpus of 5000 English words can be pronounced perfectly from the spelling

To do this you need to know 56(!) rules.

I think this actually demonstrates how complex English pronunciation actually is.
It's more complex than that.

Firstly, the UK is three separate legal jurisdictions, each with their own rules on metal detecting: England/Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland.

Secondly, these rules are not binary legal/illegal, but on a continuum of permissiveness. You always need some kind of permission. England/Wales is more permissive (where most non-protected land can be detected on with the landowner's permission) than the Republic of Ireland (where you need state approval to use a metal detector anywhere).

Some of the details here: https://detecthistory.com/metal-detecting/uk/

Captagon is not pseudoephedrine as this silly article says it. Captagon is fenethylline - it breaks down in the body into amphetamine and theophylline. In contrast, pseudoephedrine is used in labs to produce methamphetamine which is too different. Immediate-release pseudoephedrine can in fact be very hard on the heart.

Every country has its own favorite drug that fuels war. Back in the day, it was just nicotine via tobacco cigarettes. in WWII it was amphetamine and methamphetamine. In the Vietnam war it was heroin. In Southeast Asia it's meth. In Russia it is vodka. In South America it's coca leaves or cocaine. In Yemen and Somalia, it's khat. In Nigeria it's tramadol.

I don't think it's necessarily about fixing those bugs, but I think a lot of times it's more about at least having those bugs be documented in order to raise awareness on (probable) issues down the line for whoever would want to use that project in the future.
It's a protectionist trade scheme, like tariffs, but instead forces foreign business to actively invest in local business or R&D, to level up the country's production capability. It might not have its intended result, but it's no worse than the US's exorbitant trade tariffs, which were actually increased under Biden after Trump introduced them.

People always act shocked when developing countries act just as unscrupulously as the dominant powers. They learned from the best!

> DJI, Chinese electric cars/phones, mass-produced solar and battery tech and firearms manufactured abroad to name a few.

In the US, if such a thing already is in the country, you can continue to use it as a private citizen or as a company (unless it involves anything government owned). And at least for now, you can buy any DJI drone you want in the US, there's more than enough firearms imports from places such as Germany or Austria [1], no one gives a fuck where your solar panels and batteries come from (other than import duties). Cars just as well, once the car is in the US you can drive utter junk on the streets as long as it is somewhat road legal in the state it is registered in.

This ban in Indonesia however affects everyone, no matter how or when they acquired their iPhones:

> Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, the country’s Industry Minister, declared that any iPhone 16 found in the hands of consumers will be deemed illegal.

That’s not what the US does. The US has bigger infrastructure, and typically more pull in the financial sphere. They’ll usually seize funds directly if they really need to, and they have, or pressure governments in numerous other ways.

Different ballgame altogether

The only real exceptions have been chips and electronics from China particularly regarding wireless infrastructure and computing.

TikTok also comes to mind

It seems like you don’t know Singapore, or what it’s like for the Indian community in Singapore?

Singapore is less violent only because the minority communities aren’t able to actually fight back, not because they don’t get smacked down. By the police.

Conflict is inevitable when there is both misaligned incentives and either hope of victory, or such a lack of hope that there is nothing left to lose.

Singapore is a good example of having-enough-to-lose-it’s-not-worth-fighting, and no-hope-of-success-in-getting-anything-else. Not an example of no-smackdowns-occurring.

Much of the black/police and black/black violence in the US is caused by many of the communities being in the nothing left to lose state. At least for many of its members. And having enough tools at their disposal to cause violence, with a weak enough set of policing to not actually subjugate the communities entirely.

Singapore is a small island with a quite authoritarian (defacto) dictatorship (I still love you Singapore, despite this! But you know it’s true.) with extremely heavy arms controls. Seriously, if you read the gun laws and saw how heavy enforcement was, you’d understand.

Literally the best ‘bad’ folks can muster, even with concerted effort, is the occasional starter pistol, modified air soft gun, or some knives. The police have machine guns.
Can I ask why?

A few years ago we stopped distributing on Linux outside of Flatpak. It was tiring getting bug reports that were only reproducible on certain drivers and setups, not to mention the weekly "how do I install this on <new distro here>".

We've seen people complain about the extra space it takes on disk, but after deduplication and compression the tradeoff to have Linux apps "just work" is worth it (imo)

Actually, the file you identified is the (only) one that's mostly human written. It came from a previous project, I may be able to get rid of it.

But generally, the tests are very useful. My point is that there will be redundancies, and maybe even bugs - and that's fine, because the time needed to fix these would be much less than what it would have taken to write them from scratch.
Nah, see it’s just like the 30% cut of revenue Apple demands for the privilege of being in their App Store under the guise of it being for the greater good.

Indonesia just needs to take a page out of their playbook and make a statement along the lines of:

“Indonesia is committed to fostering a secure and equitable marketplace that upholds the highest standards for consumer protection and quality. By partnering with Apple through a certification program, we support the integrity of Apple’s products and ensure they align with our local regulatory standards, creating a trusted environment for our citizens. In exchange for this certification, their investment enables us to maintain rigorous oversight, build public safety infrastructure, and continue fostering an innovative ecosystem where global tech leaders like Apple can deliver safe, high-quality products to our market.”
Well, radio is a shared medium, so governments typically require passing some sort of certification to allow radio devices to operate in their jurisdiction. Most governments are pretty lenient, pass a set of clearly defined emissions thresholds or compliance to communications protocols verivied by a third party, others may choose to add additional requirements.

The general exception to this are ham (amateur) radios, they usually have exemptions carved into frequency plans so they can run anything from fully original designs over kit builds to ready-to-operate stuff.
That is very much a normal human condition honestly. In my experience what I’m seeing from time to time is younger folks have way more confidence in things they’re wrong about than I did when I was their age. I had some confidence no doubt but ample room for error where I would run a “trust but verify” pattern on my own bullshit regularly. I learned from who knows what that it’s bon ton to say “I don’t know” so I got into the habit of withholding my theories in favour of yielding to the other parties. Of course it helps in tech and business to be discerning. But I’m seeing less of this and way more of baseless, unfounded conclusions that have not stemmed from deductive reasoning, conflicting research and so on but rather just-so statements and single-dimension emotional reflexes. It’s clear the presenter wholly lacks experience, but we play along because it’s amusing.

The hard part is articulating to someone to slow down because we run the risk of them being offended. But that’s a different thread altogether.
I don't think those parallels apply here. The article is fairly clear that this is a drug (or, more accurately, a name used for a variety of drugs) in the Middle East, primarily in Syria.

No u. The fact that you are on this website means that you most likely are educated, therefore you are likely to use uncommon words unknown to the spellchecker. Most people focus on just a handful of basic words needed for everyday life, and besides that, very few people actually care about correct spelling. All of my friends have at least college degree and 50% of them pay zero attention to correct spelling, I can only assume that average Joe cares even less.
Why does this article include a link to a scam site, paidonlinewritingjobs .com (from reviews, it seems to be an e-course you have to pay for, and the 'jobs' are just links to job boards).

I have no other words.
The drug originally marketed as Captagon was an amphetamine prodrug, yes. What's actually being sold under that name in the Middle East is any number of things; it wouldn't surprise me at all if some of them contained pseudoephedrine.
