I'm entering the US for work in a few weeks and I plan on taking burner devices.


You might need to disclose social media accounts, phone numbers, email accounts, and a lot of other information, regardless of your burner: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1dz0g2ykpeo

Depends on when that goes into effect and how thoroughly it's actually implemented.


Isn't that highly suspicious? Or are you preparing burners with years of alternate social profiles activity? Because blatantly lying to the authorities is not something I'd take easily...


Why lie? If they ask you why there isn’t anything on there, just say you brought a cheap replacement phone because you didn’t want to lose or break your expensive daily device while traveling. Or because you don’t want it stolen or hacked when you’re in a foreign country. All valid reasons. Pick and choose whatever is most accurate for you.


Fortunately you can still tell the US border authorities you have a new phone, without consequences.


A new phone yes all fine. But new number, new whatsapp, new signal, new facebook, new xtter, new linkedin, new instagram, new tumblr, new...?


Imagine trying to build a business in this environment.


What kind of business are you talking about? If you're chasing a moving target, or worse, building little more than an AI Wrapper, you've willingly signed up for that risk.


And insert random tariff rug pulls. Seems like the only ones spending money are the incestuous AI club and already rich people.


You should check out BigMode.

Dunkey is building a game incubator of sorts and there are some interesting titles coming out of it.


VSCode's plugin architecture is a security nightmare and an extremely juicy target for supply chain attacks.

Does Zed address this in any meaningful way?


White supremacy leads directly into war.

It's happened several times over the last 2 centuries and its looking like it will happen again soon.

You should read about Neville Chamberlain and his experience trying to open a dialogue with these people.

This entire thread is hellish and I could easily post 20 moderation replies if I had time, but this one I think particularly needs a line drawn.

> I am racist [...] I just don't like black people very much

We ban accounts that post like this. No more of this, please.

I thought it was commonly understood that most people have racial biases, unconscious or conscious; that's the premise of most equitable programs. I am just aware of mine. I am not saying that's a good thing or making any claims about any kind of people.

I was making the point that people with racial biases are common, usually harmless, and we probably shouldn't call for their blanket execution.

I think it is strange to say that admitting I have biases is a bannable offense.


It will make more sense if you consider the context in which you're posting: a large, anonymous internet forum which is prone to bursting into flames when provoked on divisive topics.

Even if we take the most charitable interpretation of what you posted—say, something like: honest exploration of racial prejudice within ourselves—the tiny text blobs that we have to communicate with here are not a genre that can handle casual detonations like "I just don't like black people very much". That would require a much stronger and more secure container than this sort of internet forum can provide, not to mention safety and confidentiality that don't exist here. Comments like what you posted are simply going to blow up a thread like this into an even more violent conflict than it already is, and that's not something we're ok with.

As I said, that's under the most charitable interpretation, which I don't personally find to be the likeliest. Your GP comment included plenty of other things that support a less savory reading.

Also, this pseudo-debate about who should or should not be "executed" is puerile and obviously off-topic on this site, but I'm not singling you out for that, since plenty of other users were contributing to it.


I disagree with your framing about not wanting a civil war.

At this point it's between the fascists taking over unopposed and them maybe losing this civil war. I'd rather take the chance than give up without a fight.

I agree with the framing of "rather you than me", fwiw.


Well, I think if you want a civil war and for ~half of the country to be killed, then your rhetoric is rational and effective.


I think it's either that or an unchecked descent into 20th century style fascism.

I don't want civil war. I just think it's preferable to the alternative.

No, this isn't the work for a single person. It needs a movement, like the French Resistance or the Yugoslav Partisans.


I will assume you haven't started a murder club nor have you inquired as to joining any that may already exist.


If I were to join a resistance movement, I would surely keep such information from online reactionaries.


And that certainly seems to have solved the problem...

Regardless of what happens, it is not the case that insider trading isn't illegal for members of Congress, except for some technicalities:

- The act of 2012 does not purport to make insider trading by congressmen illegal. Rather, it purports to make explicit that insider trading by congressmen was illegal before it was passed.

- Insider trading isn't illegal for anyone, in the particular sense that there is no law making it a crime (or any other kind of violation). It exists purely as a construct of the SEC's interpretation of a law that doesn't mention it.


These people have no idea what they are talking about.


If you think people care about coffee quality you must never have been to a Starbucks.


Not about quality. They want the experience of going to a cafe where the coffee is made and served by humans. These cafes exist along side automated coffee.


Squidmar has a great video on how high res resin printer are actually too accurate for painting and can actually result in inferior models.

There is a sweet spot between FDM and 4k resin printers that is perfect for painting.


Its never smart to trust people who have a vested interest in lying to you.


Truth beyond the fold!
