This was always going to happen. It was a matter of time for competition to come. Tesla having tech company valuation is ridiculous, since they have none of the economic advantages typical of tech companies: easy scaling, network effect and user lock-in.

I have exactly the same experience, and in fact, I'm slowly starting to lose interest in the 'nerdy' books too.

However, I don't necessarily think the problem is books. I think the problem is 'time', and how reading has evolved in my life to be less about "the enjoyment of the action of reading" into "the necessity of acquiring the information" (even if that 'necessity' is intended for 'leisure' / 'pleasure').

It's as if the modern world has conditioned us all to skim-read, prioritise, and optimise information-to-words ratio. I wouldn't "mind" sitting down with an unknown book and giving it a good-old college try, in principle, but in practice, any book I read now competes with some other book in my backlog, which I'm also not ever going to read because that too competes with another book in my backlog, and I simply don't have the time, because I should be reading more stuff for work etc instead.

I remember I told a friend of mine once, that I was practicing speed-reading, and that I was getting good at it, and reading books faster as a result. I remember the look of horror on his face, he thought it was a terrible idea. The whole point of a book is to read it slowly, he said. There was this idea that, if you speed read it, even if you do in fact read everything in it, you've still only just looked at the all content, but you haven't really experienced or savoured the book, or allowed yourself to get lost in it. And he's right, I think, and his words do still echo and haunt me a tiny bit to this day. I do remember what that feeling of getting lost in a good book was like, and I really miss it. But I don't know how to get it back. Certainly not between breaks while reading reports at work.

Wow this sort of scenario is my nightmare. I'm an immigrant in Canada and even though I've been able to go to the US for years, I really have no interest in going, partially due to fear of something like this happening to me.

I could easily drive to the US in less than two hours, but no thanks.
They do whatever they want with their children and I don't care if the whole world including men wear hijabs. Or maybe even multiple hijabs on top of each other.

But people who think it isn't forced are simply wrong.
When I was younger I used to dream of living/working in the US. Now I’m hesitant to even visit as a tourist, despite many trips as a child (which we absolutely loved). Not worth the risk.
Stamp collecting is a good outlet for research as leisure. If you're the type of person who falls into wiki holes and likes talking about what you learn with other people, it might be for you.

Many stamp collectors follow the research-as-leisure framework naturally as part of their hobby. The article outlines cultivating curiosity, developing questions, gathering evidence, developing answers, and building communities around that process, which is basically what collectors are doing when they're talking about stamps and other philatelic material. They're sharing discoveries they find interesting, often only after identifying the material, looking up its historical context, drawing parallels to current events, and then formulating some kind of answer or conclusion that makes it worthwhile to share what they've found.

I think the experts in a lot of hobbies engage in this sort of recreational research for the joy of it, but it's closer to the norm for casual collectors. There is a whole wide spectrum of collectors though, ranging from aesthetics-driven folks who spend more time on thematic album pages than on researching anything, over to experts in narrow areas like Transylvanian hotel stamps who publish whole books on about how they weren't valid for postal use but were used by hospitality workers nestled up in the Carpathians to get mail from guests back into the official mail stream because the state couldn't be bothered to service up there. If you get into it you'll find there are a lot of curious and motivated people in the middle who are happy to share what they've been reading about (or listening to, or watching) lately.
> All Harris had to do to win was promise to stop sending arms to Israel.

That might be true but it would have set herself up for a lie that would then be weaponized by Trump for another four years. A lot of people in this country don’t want a liar in office, that’s why they didn’t vote Trump.

So while she said she wouldn’t do anything different than Biden on immigration and not stop funding Israel. Those would have been lies if she did. Saying you’ll change things also builds distrust in past government and our well working systems. This rhetoric Trump champions and puts us in the problem we have today. We can see those lies in effect today as Trump ignores the voters he won from briefly talking about Gaza and still funding those wars.
Sensible - meeting new hires counts as "work", which is strictly not included under just the ESTA, so you'd have to decide whether to lie to the border guards about it or risk this treatment.
I was simply sharing an anecdote about how we don't remember phone numbers anymore, in reply to someone sharing they didn't know their sibling's number. You're reading more into my comment than was stated or intended.

From the article: "Companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group receive government funding based on the number of people they detain, which is why they lobby for stricter immigration policies. It’s a lucrative business: CoreCivic made over $560m from Ice contracts in a single year. In 2024, GEO Group made more than $763m from Ice contracts."
AFAIK, the Australian system doesn’t operate like this for visa overstays. Your friend may be confused with asylum applications for those who arrive by boat (which isn’t often used in practice).

> A lot of what Chinese companies do could be called dumping

I'd be interested to read more about this claim, if you have a link/source.

Regardless, we desperately need to de-carbonize our transportation sector. If China is the only country willing to put the dollars in to actually do that, then they deserve to reap the benefits of the new energy economy they helped build. Economics of the cars themselves aside, any effort put in to minimizing the costs of climate change will pay for itself by the end of the century.

Yeah, instead of evaluating a journalist by looking at over a decade of high-quality work he has done writing about this space, let’s pull up a joke from one article and judge that.

Do you realize that you’re the one behaving like a low-quality Redditor here.
Throwaway for obvious reasons.

There was another similar story reported previously [1].

On that same week, I traveled to Canada. I'm from America but not the US, I have a tourist visa for Canada valid for the next 5 years or so. I've entered Canada many times in the past, zero issues. Zero criminal records, not even traffic violations on my record in any country whatsoever.

Upon scanning my passport I was immediately sent to a different queue for inspection. Similar behavior, when the border officer asked me why I am in Canada I told them I was visiting, when they asked what I do for a living I told them I didn't have a job, I have a healthy dose of savings that allow me to not work for a while and just travel, as I have done several times in the past.

They told me that was "shady", I was interrogated by two officers for about an hour, they asked me about everything, then was sent to a room to wait (it was a comfortable place, to their favor), about half an hour later they come back and tell me I'm allowed to enter but I have to report back to them, physically, in a month and leave the country the same day.

Obviously I didn't have it as bad as these two girls, but in my own timeline, it was definitely the worse border crossing experience I've ever had.

A few weeks before that I was in Mexico, and the border officers where also quite intrusive and thorough with everybody. This almost never happens in Mexico, everyone just goes in, no questions asked.

Since all of this has happened during these past weeks, my conclusion is that, in general, border officials in North America have been told to be very though with all immigrants, perhaps fueled by the demands of the Trump administration. I also think, unfortunately, that this situation will only get worse as borders and international travel will become more and more scrutinized.

Is there a Democrat doing ANYTHING beside Bernie Sanders? Chuck Schumer is actively aiding the Republicans at this point. Where are the other Democratic leaders to rally people? Where's Kamala Harris or Hillary, I thought they were supposed to be strong leaders? I only see the far left of the party doing anything at all. I honestly think the Democrats are so captured by corporate interests that they would prefer Trump than to build on any leftist sentiment while America absolutely burns its reputation to the ground. And half the country still supports this which is its own can of worms (and I could go on about worldwide attacks on democracy in general but it's depressing enough). I hope the Democrats are cooking something up or hopefully they get reformed in time to do something.

Apart from sub-Retina resolution monitors being unusable without BetterDisplay, these are all just Apple-isms. The inverse feels just as foreign when you go Mac to Windows, and as a long time Apple user I find the Windows ones strange.
An elegant OS for a more civilized age to paraphrase Obi-Wan.

The menu bar allows for an infinite size target when flinging the cursor at it using the mouse.

What functionality do you find missing? Usually a right/context-click or command click will get what one is not finding.

By way of contrast, the Sidebar will accept an arbitrary number of files/icons, and they stay put, and if one drags into a file dialog window, it updates where it is pointing rather than performing a file copy operation (what happens if one cancels?).

Anything else one wants can be handled via AppleScript.

Similarly, there is drag-drop into Terminal windows, and check out how the commands pbpaste and pbcopy interact w/ Unix pipes and so forth.

FWIW, I miss the (NeXT-derived) Miller-column Filebrowser on Windows, and the "Unix Expert" checkbox on Mac OS, and the right-click pop-up main menu which made some commands gestural on either.

Installing via drag-drop on a disk image into an Applications folder shortcut avoids the need for a special tool to manage app installation and makes uninstalling as simple as dragging into the trash.

The 2K monitor thing is a hardware/firmware/driver issue I'd imagine --- was it sold as supported by the Mac OS you are using it with?

I'm sure it's still out there, but I don't seem to notice as much prevalence of dedicated research trivia as I used to, like Damn Interesting, or Cracked.

Yes. It's trivial to tell if you're not a citizen and go through customs.

As I understand it, many ads are skippable after a certain amount of time, so you'd have to allow for that, but that does seem like a sensible idea.

I think the author probably made a mistake in using that subheading. For those familiar with the meme[1] it's saying that this isn't that important but read straight it says the opposite. I'm all for playful subheadings, I love when The Economist uses them, but they shouldn't radically alter the meaning when a big fraction of the audience won't get any particular subtle reference and I think that makes this a failure of writing.

> Prior to Musk's shift to the right, Ars ran frequent Musk puff pieces; post shift, they run frequent Musk hit pieces.

You have to go a long way back to find Ars articles on Musk that aren't derogatory. They were ahead of the curve on this, apart from their rocket articles (usually). I've always found it unprofessional and off-putting.
I think the scooter is going to be the winner in the U.S. People not used to biking are averse to being unable to sit and have both feet solidly on the ground at a stop.

Agree - playing Path of Exile 2 at the moment. I think they are co-located with the Geforce Now servers for my region (Frankfurt) as I have 1ms ping from Nvidia->PoE. 20ms from my house to Nvidia, so I’m not sure my experience is much different from what one would get with a gaming rig.

And if you do the math on what one would cost - by the time the subscription cost catches up, it’s time to upgrade the rig.

However, the US has long been very clear: constitutional rights only apply to citizens. US law is perfectly happy with arbitrary brutality towards non-citizens.

(ECHR is different on this, which has caused a lot of controversy in the UK from people who want to be arbitrarily brutal towards non-citizens)
interesting how we even see this happening constantly in the US, on both sides. just accuse your opposition of being a criminal as much as you can, and throw as much at them as possible, and when the absolute smallest thing sticks, you blow it out of proportion
This has the same flaw as the other person who replied to me.

Using the car anology only works if you also say you've got another car following you at all times, fully fuled and capable of getting you home, in which case, no, you are not stranded.

Stranded implies they cant get home. Not that it costs more, or is inconvenient. The litteral definition is "left without the means to move from somewhere".

I bought a sit-on electric Chinese cargo scooter from an importer in Bulgaria because I liked how it looked, and it's handy for going around town. They are everywhere in China. They are assembled by hundreds (probably thousands) of small factories. A big center is Wuxi. I visited a few factories there last year. The scooters cost about $350 USD in China.

There seems to be a sort of loose standardization around components, that are also churned out by countless factories. Wheels/motors are generally 10" or 12" size. Brake disks have either a certain 3 or 4 bolt pattern. I'm sure the electrics likewise follow some patterns.

I had the thought that it would be fun to 3d scan parts, measure and document some of these scooters, and make a database of suppliers. Then, who knows, start to make the frames and assemble in Bulgaria.

But you really need to be spending time in China to do that, and it wasn't really the right time for me then.

Another thing to note: branded scooters (niu etc.) are becoming more popular, better quality, extensive plastics, and you can probably order parts from the manufacturer.
> Smart immigrants shouldn't migrate to US anymore, period. Not if you have more than just very short-sighted dollar signs on your eyes. Its just plain out stupid thing to do, to be treated worse than garbage. This is how institutionalized xenophobia looks like.

No. The US is still the best place in the world for immigrants. There's no other place in the world (barring maybe Canada) where as many people from as many other countries and ethnicities can feel welcome and a part of society. I have several friends who move to European countries (mostly Germany but also the Netherlands) and they never felt like they belonged, while in the US I feel like everyone else. What's going on right now is a temporary shift in this policy, but hopefully the pendulum will swing back.

The entire executive office is just dumping their Tesla stock, they know the company has no value and if they get rid of Musk it's probably a nail in the coffin for the stock price.
