I agree, to a point. If an order were coming from the top, it would be happening many times a day.

But it could also be that the overzealous staffers feel like they want to impress the higher ups. So it could well be happening bottom up. The administration certainly isn't jumping in to fix it when it happens. If so, that's something you need to take into account if you want to travel here.

Many are going to boycott us entirely anyway, just because of how hostile the administration is to our erstwhile allies.
It looks Windows is lousy with callbacks and APIs that put the burden of understanding everything on the user, and some of Windows uses 0 to mean success, and some of Windows doesn't.
Keep carrying that water, kid.
I don't know what it looks like from the perspective of someone in the field, but just as someone who is interested in this sort of stuff, it seems more and more plausible that quite many of diseases that have grown more prevalent in the last century, especially autoimmune diseases, are cause by viruses.

It makes sense: the viral pressure has increase by a lot due to both increase in population density and increased travel across the world. At the same time there has been an increase in many autoimmune diseases, many types of cancer, Alzheimer's disease, etc. Also, from some proven cases, we know that viruses can trigger serious diseases (MS disease, type 1 diabetes).
that's what all firewall apps on Android (bastardized Linux) does.

well, they already have a user namespace per app which they can match on the firewall rule, but a per "main" program pid net namespace would be pretty much the same. i guess this can be a cool patch to this plus a one weekend qt+rust gui to manage the firewall (or a patch to firewalld gui)... only if i ever had a weekend.
Can you please provide evidence for your claims and be factual?
I really don’t understand why people complain about the efficiency of MagSafe charging. The impact is ridiculously negligible.

Turn your thermostat by half a degree, or cut your shower short by a few seconds, and you’ve probably saved more energy than wireless charging will ever waste.

I don’t believe for a second that anyone complaining about wireless charging inefficiency is spending a proportionate amount of attention on efficiency in other aspects of their life.

I don’t usually need fast wireless charging so I intentionally plug my wireless charging stand to a slow 5V USB charger. There is no noticeable heat on the phone after charging that way.
My mistake. Guess what I meant is UNIX and UNIX-like.

Nothing personal against Linux, but I'd like to see something new, like TempleOS, for example.
Huh why was this flagged???

Making enemies of Canadians is in fact an insane, stupid way to "concentrate resources", the country has been a strong and very aligned ally of the US for decades.

Hypothetically, what would happen if you did a cloud backup and wiped your phone before going through customs, then restored the phone on the other side?
The article opens describing how people vaccinated against the HSV1 virus are statistically less likely to develop dementia, and that a newer virus appears to confer an even bigger effect.

The article then proceeds on the history of the scientific debate on whether the HSV1 virus has a causal link to Alzheimer's and the level of acceptance of the hypothesis.

Finally, the article concludes describing how an RCT is taking place to find whether an antiviral which is used to treat HSV1 has an effect on the development of dementia.

It all ties together with the theme of the article, which is about the possibility that viruses may trigger Alzheimer's and the reason why research is being carried out in that direction. That open question is literally expressed in the headline.

I honestly cannot understand the problem you are seeing in the article. How else would you express the same information?
It doesn't matter whether it's an official policy or just overzealous border guards. It's a real risk that people now need to account for when making travel plans.
MCP really shines with a tool like Cline, Roo Code, or Cursor’s agent mode where an agent is writing code for you and needs access to tools. Some I’ve used successfully are Sentry for fixing errors or Figma for implementing a design. Most MCP servers are something you set up and run locally. It lets you set up auth once across tasks and configure which actions/tools are auto-approved so your agent can have higher autonomy during tasks. If you haven’t used Cursor or Cline you should give them a try.
Huh, I found this interesting, "Because the agents couldn’t bypass Malik’s password, they sent the phone to a forensics lab, which extracted all the phone’s data.", I wonder how they bypassed his password unless it wasn't fully encrypted. Well AFAIU my Pixel 6A is extractable even withe encryption and a long password via a cellebrite device now. Unsure if GrapheneOS would help prevent extraction.
The issue is, everyone uses middleware because Next.js doesn't provide a primitive for a middleware like how it's done for any other framework. Just something to execute before your endpoint, that's it.

They haven't had one for years and everyone wrapped their endpoints which was error prone and also flat out annoying, it's reasonable that people then jump to middleware
Supposedly for the French guy that you are referring to it was because he had confidential information on his phone from JPL, and not for the reason the French minister was saying.

But I find that hard to believe - that someone in CBP would recognize what’s confidential government information, and then just deport him and not arrest him for spying…. I did find it curious though that the French guy himself never said it was for his messages about trump - only some people in the French government were saying that.
No, it's not. It's also not safe to live within 100 miles of any border in the US... which is where 2/3rds of all US citizens live... because the CBP decided to themselves that they can search anyone, any time, within 100 miles of any border, for any reason, with no warrant. And sometimes it ignores the 100 mile limit too. So just warrantless searches on anyone of anything at any time for no reason. Warrantless searches all round.

The EFF and ACLU have been fighting that belief for years. They're making progress but they're not quite there yet.

If it were an express order from the top, it would easier to fight against. This is more of 'obeying in advance' where people in various positions get the vibe that they both can and should be doing this kind of thing and that not only will they get away with it, but may even be rewarded for it. This stage affects of the already willing participants. At later stages 'obeying in advance' will be done even by unwilling participants out of fear of retribution.
Outside the EU, I have a travel kit which has a cheap Android phone and cheap Android tablet. Both have convincing stuff on it, but in reality, everything goes via my personal vpn/ssh vnc for which I carry the keys well hidden.

I have 'nothing to hide' but free speech is not what Elon thinks it means (in many countries), including now, the US. I don't want to be arrested for something I said 10 years ago which was now mined, or hallucinated, by Palantir AI scanning my phone.
Wide angle lens could explain it. We see the earth is not fully illuminated in one of the pictures. And the “curve” of the lunar surface is most likely from wide angle lens.
I paint on canvas, and the main reason I can think of is that there's no prep work to be done. You just apply oil to glass and done. With modern oil painting, you usually buy stretched, prepped, framed canvases that are ready for use straight away, but in this lady's time or before it, it was more common to use raw canvas and do your own surface prepping, cutting and framing, meaning gesso prep and stretching it across the frame for just the right level of tautness, which isn't something you do by hand, but with a special tool. All told, a more complex, time consuming and pricey process than just laying paint directly onto cut, hard glass.
It’s abysmal what these cuts are doing to things that contribute to the greater good.
Be carefull for what you wish for.

The design is basically an overextension of the 8008 processer, which assumed 64k of memory and manually programmed in assembly. We've expanded that design for 40 years, and the whole software design philosophy below it has changed. Every design will suffer in these conditions.

When I travel presumably I'd want to have a smart phone to take pictures, check internet (maps, recommendations, itineraries, etc) and to make communication with people back home or people I'm visiting.

What would be the best way to protect myself with a phone while still being able to do all of this? Having a burner smart phone with an ESIM so I keep my number (for communication), itineraries saved to device, and no account logins or apps?
That already seems to be happening. Business leaders with capital are actively trying to replace workers with AI or offshoring; so what would be the extra damage from codifying that we want folks to put their money here?

I kind of agree with him. Definitely not in six months :)
I'd imagine a combination. Overzealous and probably demanding border guards, the traveller getting offended by that and not showing them the respect they think they deserve... Then they throw the book at you :(

The problem is that normal US law doesn't apply at the border. They even held an American NASA employee with a security clearance and this was before Trump.

It does look like it's getting worse now though. I'm definitely not going to the US anymore even if my work asks me to.

First and foremost, they are contrarian and "alternative". They always try to oppose whatever the majority is doing, even when it clearly is the correct thing (they are often anti-vax as well).

They usually are left-wing because they are often parasites who always take more than they give. They like being in a group or community but it rarely lasts and work over time because of how exploitative and dishonest they usually are.

I know some very interesting specimens and my mother is one of them; not entirely because she made a decent amount of money in a public career, but now that she is retired it has become a lot more apparent.

Those people are not left because of values/principle, they just go with whatever is the most extreme version of something that looks like it will benefit them. Which is why they will gladly vote far-right, if they can see the benefits. The rise of far-right populists that try to sell a version of collectivism not far removed from the far left-version is why it is happening.
The frequently cited "stress" thing of modern lives is just eyebrows-raising. Do anyone actually believe that lives of people 100 or 200 years ago have been less stressful?

Yet none of this is ever cleared up in the public sphere. Obviously something more is going on between USA and France.
You might find Flatpak interesting if you're not already familiar with it. Properly packaged applications start with limited file system access—for example, when you browse file:/// in Firefox, it can't see all your files. However, using the "Open File" menu acts as a file system portal, granting access to selected files on demand. While this isn't exactly how macOS handles permissions, it does prevent the unrestricted system access you're concerned about.
I can understand tracking metrics for performance (as in speed, server load) or revenue. But I don't see how anyone could make such conclusions as they did with a straight face, apart from achieving some OKR for promotion reasons. There's no substitute for user research, focused mindset and good taste.

I can imagine that's why today's apps suck so much as most of the pain points won't be easily caught by user behavior metrics.

One thing Alex from Organic Maps taught me is how important it is to just listen to your users. Many of the UX improvements were driven by addressing complaints from e-mail feedback.

Yeah like meta killing their DEI programs to suck up to Trump.

I don't see a similar hatred of such programs here in Europe luckily. I work for an EU company that has a big footprint in Europe and they have no plans to reduce their inclusivity programs. I'm directly involved in those.

And really, no they are not about quotas at all. It's all about being "colourblind", to remove inherent bias, exactly what the Trumpians claim to want.

"In a leaked recording, Amazon cloud chief tells employees that most developers could stop coding soon as AI takes over" - https://www.businessinsider.com/aws-ceo-developers-stop-codi...

""If you go forward 24 months from now, or some amount of time — I can't exactly predict where it is — it's possible that most developers are not coding," said Garman, who became AWS's CEO in June.

"Coding is just kind of like the language that we talk to computers. It's not necessarily the skill in and of itself," the executive said. "The skill in and of itself is like, how do I innovate? How do I go build something that's interesting for my end users to use?"

This means the job of a software developer will change, Garman said."
Also, the USA is not alone in doing trumped-up bullshit to visitors.

The French authorities did not like what a French publisher published about them. So they asked Britain to fuck about with one of the publisher's employees who was going to visit a book fair in London.

They arrested the employee on terrorism charges, because they demanded to search his phone when he arrived in the UK, and he refused -- that's a crime, because the UK is a shit nation with evil laws. That should not be a crime.
The first amendment (and to my knowledge most of them) at least in theory if not in shit-smeared practice, apply to all people within US borders, not just citizens. In any case, it's an absurd argument to essentially say, "meh, he was a foreigner, it's fine".
That explains why such rules are beneficial, but does not explain how such rules should come about.

They date back thousands of years when no one knew the mechanisms so its not deliberate. It could be evolution of cultures - in that groups that followed certain rules survived better.

The first problem I see with that is that the two main religions that ban pork also have a lot of other rules about food, dress and grooming, sexual behaviour, and lots of other things. SOme of them (hygiene rules, for example) are beneficial, but how do you explain the rest. SOme might have less obvious benefits in the context of the society they originated in - but all?

The other is that you do not need rules to be religious. Social norms are just as powerful. The persistence of circumcision in the US illustrates this. It is still common (usual?) despite the largest religion not only not requiring, but its scriptures specifically state it is not a religious requirement (and dispenses with the entire set of detailed rules - retaining only some more general ones).
Hmm, I see where you’re coming from. Monetary fines impact corporations “where it hurts”, i.e. the bottom line.

Has viral pressure really increased? It seems stuff spread globally a few generations ago with things like the flu in the early 1900s. Even in the middle ages you had stuff like the plague.

What has changed is the sterility of our environment. Better bathing, more hand washing, food safety rules, etc. There have been theories that autoimmune diseases might be increasing because we aren't exposed to enough "normal" pathogens.

I'm highly suspicious that higher viral pressures are the cause of increasing dementia rates, as it seems we're exposed to less today.
