I can't speak for a modern subaru, but I've not owned a single ICE vehicle that would work in this scenario. The battery would be dead. An electric one has the option to be plugged in and avoid the problem. Just because we haven't put the infrastructure in place for it doesn't mean we can't. We should do so, just like we did for gasoline.
At least it's only at ISO 80, where noise would be minimal anyway (: I rarely use noise reduction because I don't like the artificial cleanliness of the result.
>The U.K. government's "foreign travel advice" page for the U.S. warns travelers to "comply with all entry, visa and other conditions of entry."

Oh my god it's like Nazi Germany!
I feel like I'm spinning, hitting the spiral of the drain where civilization is to inevitably pass through, gone. The many who suffered and continue to suffer from iniquities of the human race carry the tonnage of likewise experiences, know a truth that is so impossible to know:

"It was useless to close one's eyes or turn one's back to it because it was all around, in every direction, all the way to the horizon. It was not possible for us nor did we want to become islands; the just among us, neither more nor less numerous than in any other human group, felt remorse, shame, and pain for the misdeeds that others and not they had committed, and in which they felt involved, because they sensed that what had happened around them and in their presence, and in them, was irrevocable. Never again could it be cleansed; it would prove that man, the human species - we, in short - had the potential to construct an infinite enormity of pain, and that pain is the only force created from nothing, without cost and without effort. It is enough not to see, not to listen, not to act."

- Primo Levi, The Drowned and the Saved
No, they said it is "ridiculously overpriced for what you get as a tourist".

Which now includes a possibility of getting detained while trying to enter.
So disappointed that this isn't an article about the Grateful Dead
I don’t know whether it would be legal, but I 100% agree with your suggestion - a more active form of learning would be more effective. Professor Molesworth (the expert I interviewed for the article) actually suggested that airlines should make passengers count how many seats away from the emergency exit they’re sitting - again, making that a more active process.

There’s also the argument that to improve retention, the regulatory body should decrease the amount of “key safety messages” that need to be included in the videos (which ends up being around 35-45). If you decrease that number, retention of the info you do mention should go up.
Feelings of Americans don't matter much in this equation. Most are delusional about what is happening in one way or another. People from other countries will not get even close to the US while there is a chance they will be jailed and sent to a lawless detention center for looking different.
The most high-profile cases weren't about people/tourists being denied entry. They were about people being detained on their exit from the US.
I don't know if you intend this, but you're implying nothing's changed but our awareness. However, there has been a significant change.
It happens every year, but not necessarily on the same dates, both year to year and family to family, depending largely on where you or your kids go to school. Most people I know had spring break Mar 17-23 this year. It was a few weeks earlier last year.
Although it's good to look into alternatives to bootstrapping vs VCs, the funding source isn't the only factor to consider. Balancing how quickly you need to enter the market and how much ownership you feel comfortable having over the final product will ultimately drive the decision on how to fund a venture too.
My "why not" had a smiley next to it because it was meant as a joke. I am not sure what you mean by downvoting, but I did not mean to discourage your curiosity. I am sorry if it came out like that.

p.s. I learnt in the meantime that it's possible to downvote somehow (I still do not know how). But in this case, I actually upvoted you.

I think there are two common definitions of startup, and neither require VCs to be involved.

One (seen elsewhere in these comments) is any small business. I personally don't like that definition because there is a pretty big difference between a local coffee shop and the thing we all mean when we say "startup".

The other one which is more common here is a company that is currently small, but the business model involves getting much much larger. There's a blurry line between a small business and a startup with this definition, but it seems to be a "you know it when you see it" type of thing.

Companies like Mailchimp and Atlassian (in their early days) clearly qualified as startups even though they hadn't raised VC. You might say they're outliers, but so are the VC-backed companies that reach that level of success. If a small company is growing quickly and on pace to become a multi-billion dollar company, it seems weird to say they're not a startup just because they didn't raise money from the right people.
Restructuring culture/society/government so that our basic needs are more-easily met, freeing us to do what we each feel is meaningful.
That's way oversimplifying, and perhaps not a useful answer.
I wouldn't get into OSS for the money. Do it because it matters to you, and maybe do some bs job to pay the bills. If the open-source software is a for-profit venture rather than a for-public-benefit venture, there might be a risk of making decisions based on money rather than public good.

OpenAI might be an example? I'd far rather humans help other humans directly[0] than farm it out to robots.

I see all these articles about Canadian and European hate for the US, and anti-US sentiment in general. They all sadden me.

The US is made up of 350 million people. Only one of them is Donald Trump. Most of the country didn’t vote for him. We still value our friends and allies, even if the stooge Putin got elected does not.
This is more like hosting an AirBnB but then sometimes you lock your guests up in the basement and torture them. So you get some bad reviews on AirBnB. If that's what you're going for.

Those affected weren't from the third world though.

I have travelled for conferences in the US several times, now I'd be worried they'd argue you need a B-1 visa instead of ESTA waiver if you visit the company office after the conference, etc.

And detain you for weeks when you don't have it.

Terrible time to go to Disney, late March early April is spring break for basically the whole country
That’s basically the system we have in Australia - customs and immigration handled by officers of the Federal Government, and generally Federal police patrol airports (one of the only places you will normally see them if you don’t live in Canberra), and then the airports have private security companies do the security screening.

There are still Federal standards they have to comply with but it’s more reasonable than the US (we never had to take off our shoes and liquids of any size have been allowed again for years as long as you’re only going to the domestic part of the airport, they’re separated here)
> The GUI / UX is horrible.

Coming from someone who would "prefer to be in Gnome or KDE", this is a hard criticism to take seriously. KDE is obviously designed by committee and is therefore UI elements are all over the place, and Gnome is just horrible.

> Finder is annoying as hell. The icons / layouts do not snap to resizing, proper navigation requires arcane keyboard shortcuts, it's difficult to open new instances in the expected way, tabs suck, navigation sucks. Finder is made for non-power users.

Those "arcane keyboard shortcuts" have been around for 40 years. Or is it the Emacs keybinding that you don't like? Opening a new instance of a Finder window is a Cmd N away. New tab? Cmd T - I do not understand what is hard about that. Oh, and tabs are a feature of the system, and native apps (some non-native too) automatically implement them. It seems to me that someone hasn't RTFM'ed. Some "power user" you seem to be...

The rest is rant that macOS isn't $MyFavouriteDistro and that is the only way computers should work.

> I do not want to "define" terms with the shitty built in dictionary tool, yet that option eats up context window space in every tool.

Oh no! A whole line in a context menu! The horror.
The US, Trump, is trying to "refinance" global trade with the united states. The short of it is that the Trump wants countries to pay more to be part of the west's "protection blanket". Most of the "paying more" will come in the form of a weaker dollar, devaluing foreign held treasuries and making US industry more competitive with local manufacturers.

Trump seems to be going nuclear with this plan, and because he obviously is not particularly smart or diplomatic, I don't think he grasps the immense second and third order effects this will have on perceptions of America. American goods might get cheaper, but maybe no one will want to buy them. No one will want to travel to the US. No one will want to live in the US.

So dumb.
Good point, yes - the director of the United video (Karim Zariffa) told me that during the shoot the employees were highly invested (they didn’t want to make a mistake on camera) and the whole shoot likely helped boost employee morale.
I think foreigners might not realize how freaked out some Americans are.

They appear to be testing the boundaries by going after easy targets.
The second attack you linked is yet another completely different threat model. It requires running malicious software on the device to be tracked. From the paper:

The Trojan code runs on the computer to be tracked.
It retrieves the advertising address, acquires the matching
public key from our server, and then advertises lost messages

That's about as active as it gets!

The first one describes radio fingerprinting, which is relatively new, concerning, and might be tricky to address.
You might want to read up on Edward Bernays[1] if you think modern advertising is "just telling you about a product". It most decidedly is not. It is a century of of human effort poured into exploiting human evolutionary biases in order to increase sales. It's an exercise in inducing demand, not in fulfilling preexisting demand.

>What the advertiser needs to know is not what is right about the product but what is wrong about the buyer. And so the balance of business expenditures shifts from product research to market research, which means orienting business away from making products of value and toward making consumers feel valuable. The business of business becomes pseudo-therapy; the consumer, a patient reassured by psychodramas.[2]

I was.. with my friend visiting family. Not knowing where they live - because the person picking them up is waiting at the airport (8h detained, 10y ago).

Another one being accused of selling drugs in LA (never been there, detained for 2 days, banned and put on a flight back home, 5y ago)
If fixing trade was the goal of these tariffs, Trump had other, better options. He did not listen to policy advisors who have spent a long time writing about how to prepare the US for a war with China and rebalancing global trade. This is why it’s been a PR disaster, not because it was preemptive decisive action.
That's exactly it.

We chose Smalltalk because we could not have discovered the space (what we now call Moldable Development) within the constraints we had.
Most stuff on Amazon is made in China anyways. Might as well order directly from Aliexpress or the producer's website. Exactly the same items, but without the American middleman.

I agree completely. I also know that distros patch packages.

But for unzip the situation is particularly bad because it has no maintainer. Normally, you would raise feature requests for basic functionality upstream and once added, the maintainer would cut a new release. So software with the same version number generally, but not always, behaves similarly across distros.

But for unzip, because upstream is unmaintained, distro maintainers started to add features while keeping the version number. So in the end you end up with different behavior for what looks like the same release.
There wouldn’t be any safety for that anyway.

A tariff as a negotiating tactic wouldn’t be worth much if it was known to be temporary.

Barely discussed in the paper: bubbles.

Many fermentation processes produce gas, and some aerobic fermentation processes happen while fully exposed to the air. Gravity provides quite a bit of assistance separating gas bubbles from solids and liquids.

In space, how do you build a fermentation airlock? With a centrifuge? Can you safely punch down dough? How do you open a sealed, pressurized container of anything carbonated? Can you easily remove enough dissolved CO2 from your kimchi so that eating it won’t make you burp?
Please don't come here, it's definitely dangerous and you shouldn't ever step foot here again to avoid any danger to your life, it's a hellhole that no one like you should ever attempt to visit :)

> First of all, the folks profiling and detaining you don't ask you where your passport is from first - they'll generally make the decision and then ask for your documentation.

It depends. Most countries do have certain kinds of extra policies for passports of certain countries. For example, Visa fraud, especially for education visas, is extremely common from India. So extra checks for those that the acceptance letter isn't from some diploma mill and that they're not coming to work illegally tends to to occur more often.

But the same is true for local citizens that make odd, quick trips to certain countries that tend to be sources for drug smuggling - you're going to probably get pulled aside.

Being a border guard is 40% art, 40% science, 10% luck, and 10% other.

> But even then, I have a US passport, and I've had far more issues being detained in European airports than I have in the US - which is really saying something.

You're a citizen, though. Unless they think you're importing something you shouldn't, you're far less likely to be hassled as you have more rights than others.

As a Canadian, I found that Canadian border agents tend to harass their own citizens, especially at land crossings, because the default assumption seems to be we're trying to dodge paying duties.

I've found American border guards mostly tend to act terse and rude (possibly as a strategy to try and trip you up?), though some of the nicest I've ever met were also American. I've found most EU guards with my Canadian passport to be bored and slow, though that may be because most Canadians going to Europe are just vacationing?
People buy lottery tickets knowing very well they are almost certainly not going to win. But you never know. You might get rich. You buy the ticket is the prize is tempting enough. Likewise, you avoid a low probability risk when the outcome is bad enough.
Just to note that in most places at the moment (unless you turn up in that red baseball cap...) the attitude to most Americans is likely to be a kind of horrified pity (again, unless you start saying how great it all is). Most people are generally aware that Trump doesn't have universal support, and unlike your own media apparently, we do get coverage of protests and so on. Getting back into your own country though, yeah that might be a problem. Sorry.
auto-accepts? We just go back to square 1 in 2011 in that case.
Do you think they were talking about ICE because they mentioned the cost of tourism? I don't think they were referring to risk of detainment with that comment.
I was a developer for about forty years, retired last year. First seven years or so I worked in MUMPS on mostly DEC VAX midframes. Then in the early 90s I learned Visual Basic to break into the Windows world, worked in that for almost a decade until .NET came out in about 2000; I learned VB.NET, programmed in that for about six or seven years. Then I taught myself C# which is what I used for the next 13 years or so. I did lots of SQL Server programming account the way, but outside of that, those were really the only languages/frameworks that I needed to have a consistent career for almost four decades.
Norwegian here. People collectively lost their minds after the 2024 election. The USA is a great country, embodying values that bring out the best in humanity. You don't deserve this hate.
You are mistakenly conflating interest (which can go up or down every quarter and is charged daily, like an unpaid credit card balance) and penalties (which are a fixed amount per month set by law up to a maximum number of months). Most importantly, both of them apply if there is a failure to pay (FTP) by the original due date.

I mean the rot goes much deeper than Donald Trump. Most of the US cabinet and top leaders are actively hostile towards what used to be ally states. Spreading lies, propaganda, insults and threatening to invade and take away our land. Meanwhile treating its own people like slaves. USA has become almost indistinguishable from Russia in that regard.
Not protected by laws and not bound by laws are different ideas.
I'm hoping this is just part of a long-term oscillating trend and that this crest is almost over.
"zero technical debt" is a pipe dream. Not all tech debt is equal; think "low-interest student loan or mortgage" vs "high-interest credit cards or payday loans".

At this point why do you not?
AI isn't what we should be worried about – it's the humans controlling it
They should make you sad. The leader of your country said we suck and that we would be better off being a part of the USA (and that he would MAKE us be a part of the USA)! It doesn't matter how many of you didn't vote for him when hes the one making the decisions.
Trump won the popular vote unfortunately.

Most of the country couldn't vote at all because they are immigrants (not citizens) or because of any of the structural reasons why they couldn't take time off to vote or they were intimated at the ballot box. Voting day still isn't a federal holiday.
There's a pretty sizable proportion of USians that have a hard time accepting that other countries exist.

For what it's worth, we're also starting to have similar (though so far less pronounced) reactions to domestic travel. There's a number of states that are unsafe to travel to if you or someone in your family has a gender identity that's not on the approved list--and that has an outsize effect. I won't go to those places since they don't deserve my tax dollars, and am just jumping on a bandwagon of plenty of other people in making that decision.
If everyone was a unicorn, wouldn't that by definition mean they weren't unicorns??
Well yes, that would be a thing to do if this was only about personal safety (and one was only worried about the border and not getting vanned on some random street corner).

At this point it's also about standing with our countrymen and spending our tourist dollars at home.
Mostly coming via private jet, I think?
Don't forget the efforts to legally denounce citizen's citizenship. Right now, it's still unconstitutional, but the point is to test the waters.
>This meant there was inelastic demand for U.S. treasuries, which basically made it impossible for the U.S. to not run a deficit, either in terms of trade or the federal budget.

Ease of borrowing does not force a government to run a deficit, which is entirely a political choice.
I don't know if you're familiar with the company AllAdvantage but in 1999 they tried to pay people by the hour to have a banner ad displayed on their computer, up to some number of hours per week.

One of their problems was that paying ad viewers directly incentivizes fraud. There were many apps to make it 'look' like you were engaged, while you actually weren't.

Similarly, in Bill Gates' book "The Road Ahead", he proposed the idea of emails that come with money attached to them. (i.e. You are paid to open and read advertisement e-mails.) I don't know if this was realistically tried anywhere.

Fraud aside, I think it's hard to avoid falling into one of two boxes in paying people to watch ads:

1. They pay so little that it's not really worth anyone's time.
2. They pay enough to be interesting, but it means people will view ads for products just for the money and the effectiveness of the ads will be very low.

I think the industry has found that the ad "tax" (i.e. ads in the middle of content) is the model that actually works. And in this model the bulk of the ads' cost is paid to the content creator who is in theory providing a good enough audience for that particular advertiser, which is the actual value to the advertiser.
MSNBC, CNN, folks on instagram and YouTube, currently there is still quite a few sources free of dictorship style media.

Still wishing citzens manage to get control of the country back, before the administration adopts even stronger control mechanisms.
> How is it that Meta can regular break the law, with 7 of the 10 highest fines (or probably around a third of all fines) going against them [3] with seemingly no action taken to prevent this from continuing onwards.

Because until now we've been treating American companies very leniently, with an occasional slap on the wrist. For example, when Poland wanted to regulate Uber, the American ambassador warned the Polish government that if they do that, they will regret it.[0] And because at that time the USA was in the business of of protecting the East NATO flank, the Polish government turned turned a blind eye on Uber.

Now that the USA turned away from Europe, nobody cares about the interest of American companies. When Trumps ambassador (Tom Rose) threatened the current government in the same way recently regarding planned "digital tax", the minister answered "We're nobody's fief".
