So it seems obvious that she had posted with her friend about working without a visa in the US, CBP found this, and she was rightfully deported. Note neither women featured in this little writeup actually denied it. These days they do check your social media for little secret plans.
Yes, it seems like she did bring her tattoo equipment.
An article about a software update to fix an issue that affects cars that are traveling at ~0 mph.

Slow news day?
They ask questions during the customs process, the typical “business or pleasure” thing. And if the agent senses any deception, you are sent with another officer that will interrogate you. What I don’t understand is why she was detained, immigration officer are allowed to deny entry to tourists. This whole ordeal could have been avoided if she was allowed to go back to Mexico and rearrange travel to Germany.
I distinctly 'member people even right here on this site taking dumps on anyone who dared accuse the Republicans of being hellbent on implementing Project 2025. Called us "conspiracy nuts", said that this was just "enemy propaganda" or that there was no connection between Trump and Project 2025, downvoted and flagged our warnings... where the fuck are y'all now? Where the fuck are y'all with your guns and "don't tread on me" flags now that MAGA is tearing down the government and installing an autocracy in all but name? And where the fuck are the even more people who did just the same on Reddit?

The thing is, almost no one was used to politicians actually following through with their plans and promises. Trump is the first Western leader since I'm alive (other than the current Spanish government) to actually do what he has promised, and I fear this image of him being an "accomplisher" will send him for a wave of support in both the midterms and the next election (and yes, I also believe that there will be no one left to enforce the "two terms" regulation).
In person? None.

Online? More than enough and they show the same kind of malice like our own type of MAGA: AfD voters
It basically is like having politically motivated human chaos monkeys running around the data center randomly killing systems and seeing whether anyone notices.

> Stay away for the next 4 or so years. It’s clear this administration is brain dead and can’t govern.

That government was elected by the majority of Americans, and continue to be supported by them. Blaming this in the administration alone is too easy and hoping this American problem will just go away after Trump's legislation period is naive. If the majority of Americans don't receive a proper education and open their eyes to what their decisions do to your country, the following 4 years will be hust as awful.

I am much more daring in my will to experiment but I do agree.

Keto, fasting and also breaking the "foodie" culture that eating and going out to eat becomes a hobby.

I didn't order/dine in at all from a restaurant in 2024. It is much easier to not over eat the boring keto meals I make myself. My "cheating" is eating basmati or jasmine rice with a stir fry instead of cauliflower rice.

There is actually not enough known side effects for me to take GLP-1s. They are either complete miracle drugs or side effects we don't currently understand haven't come out in the wash yet.

We have a pretty good track record when a new powerful medication like this is introduces of doing things quite wrong. There are probably risk mitigation strategies we will learn in the coming decades that we simply can't know right now. Otherwise, these are basically free lunch miracle drugs. That seems an easy short.
The administration has set an arrest quota for ICE, and ICE is far below where the administration wants them: https://www.npr.org/2025/03/01/nx-s1-5313059/immigration-ice...

> The most recent DHS data released this week shows that fewer than 600 people per day have been booked into ICE detention facilities across the country during the first three weeks of February — well below the pace of 1,200 to 1,500 arrests a day that administration officials have said they want.
It looks similar in concept to Flask and Fast API (Likely with a speed advantage), and duplicating their features it feasible.

It's not 'rude to say,' it's simply the truth. With good quality metal tapes, and Dolby C, a cassette is going to perform as well as any room you care to listen in. I find most people who complain about cassettes being lo-fi had shit decks.
LINQ is fine (but enterprise style never is, yes), it’s a matter of scale and what kind of a domain the code is targeted too. C# needs to be approached a little like C++ and Rust in this regard. Having standard performance optimization knowledge helps greatly.

Also can recommend reading all the performance improvements blog posts by Stephen Toub as well as learning to understand disassembly at a basic level which .NET offers a few convenient tools to get access to.
It’s possible to give tattoos for free, if it’s your passion and art.
In fairness, VWP travel to the US in circumstances that mean you might be considered to be working there has not been a good idea under any administration. If you're a professional tattoo artist and you arrive for a month with tattoo equipment and the stated intent of "making art" during that time, it's pretty clear what you're going to be doing.

What is concerning here, as an occasional bona fide business visitor to the US, is that it was always my expectation that if I were refused for some reason then I would just find myself turned around and placed on the next flight back. Seeing someone held in a private, for-profit, detention centre for an extended time period is not the behaviour I had previously expected from the US. It is a worry.
Is it? A simple boolean choice and you give total carte blanche to anybody got elected?

I think a good chunk of the voters cast their choice assuming that there would be checks and balances.

Sure there are also many, many trump voters who really wanted exactly this. But they are not the majority of the people.
Because the agencies don’t know how the fix will be implemented.

Unless The People do something, it's probably going to be much more than four years. I think the administration, whoever that is, is far from brain dead, even if their puppets may be.

I don't think we can guess the specific problem here, but the credit card limits could indeed easily take services offline as hosting isn't payed. So it would not surprise me at all to see a bunch of cases like this caused by the inability to pay their hosting bills.
It is possible, but why do you believe this is a necessity? It's also possible that the US becomes an oligarchy dictatorship like Russia. All the assets are seized by a small group (crashing the economy, removing oversight, removing national park maintenance, etc. makes it possible). Then give people just enough money and fear not to revolt. Feed them propaganda all day, find some enemies to direct their hate towards. I mean, it's pretty much Vance and Thiel's playbook, rule by 'wise' tech CEOs.
You don't make examples of people.

You treat them equally by the law.

You do not put people in solitary confinement for nine days - or twenty days - and without giving them any idea of what is happening, or notifying anyone where they are. This is cruel and unusual punishment.
Emotions convey a ton of meaning in human communications, not necessarily an illusion of friendship. It's a huge side channel and there's a clear use case for an assistant to not sound lifeless and robotic. Scams, addictions, privacy loss and many other things deviating from the idealistic sci-fi portrayals will stay regardless of the tech if not treated on the cultural level (which is way harder to do and nobody likes doing it, preferring to shift the responsibility onto someone else).
I like this idea, though I'm unclear on the implementation. Do you have a sense how it'd work visually? Like divide the boxes into multiple color slices if there are overlaps?
I'm not sure selling equipment that doesn't meet current standards should be more normalized.

The word recall seems fine. It you don't want to issue a recall then do testing.
The article I read a few days ago said that the tattoo artist posted on Instagram advertising their arrival to the US and taking clients. They had done the same with the previous destination on their tour.

If it's true, it seems pretty open and shut, so I'm not really sure why this is popping up on HN now.
Read his stuff years ago and it's so transparently ... stupid.

You really have to be blessed with the right kind of mix between psychopathy and idiocy to think that he's somebody to listen to.
The truly horrible thing is, that it might not be possible. That the federal government has grown so complex, that it is no longer possible to maintain a modicum of control or to stop its further growth without destructive action. Simply because it is beyond anyone to refactor the thing is a more constructive manner.
3) Read the article
As an immigrant myself, I think it is cruel and inhumane to hold someone in detention indefinitely for unspecified accusations.

I think it is cruel to wish this upon others like you have done.
+1 to this.

My employer can be really bad at paying NET30, especially on fluctuating "pay for what you use" bills due to all the bureaucracy. Since it's not a fixed amount it can't be rubber stamped by anyone... And dear lord help you if you issue an invoice followed by credits separately...

We always pay the bill, but the purchasing employee has to review it (they're the only ones that can evaluate the claimed usage), then the department head has to approve it, then department finance processes it.. the division finance has to then rubber stamp it... Then the controller had to release the funds.

I see notices all the time where we're ~3-5 days late (often times the money has already been sent, but hasn't hit the sellers account yet)
Do supporters of this philosophy still self-identify as conservatives? Such radical futurist visions seem directly opposite to core conservative values.
I don't know how to fix this ratchet of "Republicans shatter things for fun and self-profit; Democrats try to tape things back together but it's harder to fix things than break them; so voters punish them by electing Republicans" that's been going on my entire life

Sounds like a job for custom lint rules.

Yes windows. That’s my point: dotfiles are synonymous with ”configuration files” on Linux/Unix but not elsewhere so making a ”cross platform dotfiles manager” seems like a contradiction almost.
I was involved in this industry about decade, when relations with Russia was warmed after end of cold war, so could share some experience.

In any case, you must understand, even on warmest times, space technologies considered as semi-weapons, so if you cannot achieve military clearance, you will have access only to some niches.

If niches are not scary for you, excellent, there are plenty opportunities.

First, in many countries exist large niche of high altitude air research, for which constantly need small cheap rockets and balloons, and all of these need reliable organizations, who will do regular starts and than find all things returned from near space.

So, what I mean - great deal of space work is just find and gather all parts fallen from missions.

Sure, all that things mean, better to make reliable control system, and reliable return system, than to literally looking for needle at haystack sized about hundred kilometers. But unfortunately, even best real rockets have failure rate ~0.4..0.7% (amateurs usually considered good to achieve 10..20% fr), so for every 100 starts, could have 1 failure for professional approach, or 10..20 for amateur, and will work on field.

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

Problems near infinite, because even amateur rockets are not cheap, and in many cases civilian equipment are not working (yes, civilian GPS are just turning off or hanging if achieve military bounds for altitude or speed, so need to make your own navigation) and all additional weight subtract from profit, and any failure also could be fatal for economy, so there constantly appear new brave people and on other side, appear disappointed, who leave to more calm industries.
Ugh we already have BATMAN and ROBIN as meshnet. Can't you go with... sea man or some other thing that's not taken?
Everyone can set-up their own blast database. Usually if you are specialized on a certain species you have your own DB cached in memory somewhere locally for efficiency. Also there are alternatives. NCBI blast is just one of many. Also all the sequences are globally kept and in sync in different regions of the world, so if one Datacenter goes down you still have the option to use the exact same data from Europe or Japan and so on.
I think it won't be any different from how we use different software libraries we don't understand.
So what's stopping anyone from forming a group or foundation based on donations from like-minded people? And maintain a secure, free fork? I see this topic often enough on HN, this might a big enough group.

Yes, that's what I do today.

The UX improvement would be to have a centralized managemend of the venv (centralized location, ability to list/rm/etc. from name instead of from path).
As for me, I believe it not only because of the current administration per se, but because it's basically same as how the usaid.gov shutdown happened.

Spans are just a slice type, but those which any type based on contiguous memory can be coerced to (usually). I’m sure you’re already using them somewhere without realizing that. Their main use case in regular code is zero-cost slicing e.g. text.AsSpan(2..8).
I love graphs and music so the interface is interesting.

I think it either needs that snap to a scale like in the youtube video you posted or it needs to do something more 12-tone row sounding.

Interesting.

Economist here.

If you’re looking for what to tax instead of income, the best things are: land, pollution and consumption.

Land is great because people will not use less of it, no matter how high the tax. Pollution is great to tax, because we want to produce less of it. Consumption (or purchases or spending) is good to tax because economic growth is good and this tax encourages investment rather than spending your wealth. The most common consumption taxes are the sales tax or VAT tax.

You may have heard of consumption taxes described as “regressive “, but that comes from looking at only part of the policy. For example, a universal basic income funded by a sales or VAT tax would see the poor better off than the rich.
> No, the deposit is a liability with a matching asset that comes with it. The asset is needed to balance the asset. They certainly don't lend it out to other customers

When a customer (customer A) deposits $10 of cash at a bank, the bank has a new $10 asset (the cash), and a new $10 liability (the deposit it owes to the customer).

If another customer (customer B) then comes in and asks for some cash in the form of a loan, the bank can loan that customer the $10 cash, at which point the bank goes from having a $10 asset in the form of cash, to a $10 asset in the form of an outstanding loan.

This new asset is less liquid than the cash, but the bank's balance sheet still balances.

> which always happens through new money creation

You are correct here - bank lending is the process through which the vast majority of money is created. Before the loan, customer A thinks they have $10. After the loan, customer A and customer B both think they have $10. In this sense, $10 of new money is created.

Interest rates moderate the rate at which banks lend and the rate at which money is created, and the Central Bank acts as one of the most important price-setters in the economy.

> They do buy short duration government bonds with it because they're not stupid and can get a better return than on reserves, and bonds are acceptably liquid. Nothing they do can be construed as investment. Savings really are savings and are effectively removed from the economy.

Even if you believe that banks only buy short duration government bonds (which is provably not the case[1]), this is still a form of lending, as it effectively finances government borrowing, and the Government can spend their borrowed money as they see fit (such as for building infrastructure).

Trying to write it as if it was a different language instead or, for whatever reason, copying the worst style a team could come up with does happen and must be avoided, but that’s user error and not a language issue. Also the tooling, especially CLI, is excellent and on par with what you find in Rust, far ahead of Java and C++.

If you link an example snippet of the type of code that gave you pause, I’m sure there is a better and more idiomatic way to write it.
Yes, because an actual A.I. would somehow be free of biases and magically tend towards justice somehow.
On the minus side of the equation, large controversial changes, more often outside the kernel but still important nevertheless, do get pushed through by people who are employed at important companies.

If your fulltime job is Linux it does give you an ability to influence what happens that others who are earning their daily bread some other way lack. You can use that ability to ride over some objections.

For some people the goal of Linux is to become the world's OS. I used to think this but I realise now that if it did, then it would become static and conformist. This is because the experience of using it would have to be stable and common so that all the users who don't care about Linux per se wouldn't have to keep relearning how to use it or at least would only need to relearn 1 way. So there would have to be the world linux distro, probably run by some bullying company that would keep app developers, hardware vendors in line.

We'd be complaining about it like we might about MS or Apple. I like Linux for the wrong reason - I like it because there's so much choice. Simplicity is about eliminating choice.
Dirt cheap ingredients + all these years =. Most expensive part is employees yeah
> when it obviously can't allocate what it already has

No large government in the history of the world has ever perfectly spent its money.

We can at best aspire to good government spending, not perfect.

Therefore the current dog and pony show of 'look at these excesses and get mad' is just a distraction to functional cuts that would be less popular.

Elon Musk, Russell Vought, and Donald Trump are lying. They know exactly what they're trying to do: impair the operation of the US government.

Any claims about fiscal justification are ridiculous from a financial standpoint -- if they cared about US debt, they'd be making these spending cuts, and not passing tax cuts.
Kurtosis[0] is a term I came across when dealing with random vibration analysis, but I understand very little if it. The idea of "moments"[1] of various orders to describe a shape of distribution is interesting in general. It sounds analogous to Fourier series, describing a shape/graph with a series of values.

HTML5 is if you’re lucky. Usually it’s a PDF or even worse, a PDF inside some embedded javascript viewer with page turn animations.
The thing is, in Europe, precisely in European Union, people can travel and work freely with minimum formalities across all 28 EU countries and in Norway. It's easy for European citizen (and the person in question was from Germany which is an EU member) to forget that some countries are still that deeply not civilized.

Notwithstanding that, the person should just be deported immediately, but instead was detained for multiple weeks. Is it how it supposed to be dealing with visitors?

Are you sure the legislative branch could physically remove this president from office? Given it's unlikely he'd accept any impeachment.
You open with "IMO" but want evidence from me? Lol.

There were many dems who remembered Trump as the funny orange man, didn't really care to turn out against him, and fell for the "both sides bad" messaging that was absolutely rampant on the left (esp with regard to Kamala and Palestine). So no, I don't think the most important rally-the-base rhetoric was to ratchet up "Trump is Fascist" so much as suppress "Both Sides Bad" while we had an election to win.
