They can conduct inspections right at the gate. It’s uncommon, but it happens. Typically when this happens, the cabin crew announces that the CBP is conducting inspections outside the gate and asks passengers to get their travel documents r

Not considered US territory, CBP preclearance is just that, a preclearance. It’s still under the jurisdiction of the host country. The CBP can and sometimes does conduct inspection on precleared passengers at the actual US port of entry.

I don’t disagree with anything you said here, but it reminds me an argument about IRC privacy from the ’90s. People frequently accused IRC networks of secretly logging private conversations, and the usual argument was that this would requir

As a business owner I use UPS quite a bit to get things delivered to clients etc (during business hours) and I don't think twice about paying $70 for next day air delivery. I doubt online stores pay anything like that.

Oh I’ve done that too as a rookie. Software displayed an error message when the application was in a state that was impossible for it to be in, at least in theory. The error message was a line from 2001 Space Odyssey: “I’m sorry Dave, I’m a

During the early days of the App Store the guidelines prohibited duplicating system functionality, but that hasn’t been the case in a long time, wasn’t retroactive, didn’t apply to non-system Apple software and I’m not sure how strictly it

This is basic proposition logic. A: ICE contains ERO. B: ICE contains HSI. C: ERO tracks immigrants. D: HSI tracks criminals. E: HSI uses Facebook data. The statements above simply don’t imply that “ICE uses Facebook data to track immigrant

Title is misleading. ICE is actually two organizations under a single umbrella. There’s Enforcmenet and Removal Operations (which is what people commonly associate with ICE) and there’s Homeland Security Investigations. The article is about

In addition to the NYT, I also subscribe to my local newspaper (The Daily Freeman, http://www.dailyfreeman.com ). It doesn’t have the resources of something like the NYT or WaPo, but I feel like local newspapers are essential for

UDP for IPC seems to be especially crazy to me. I mean sending data over TCP to localhost is basically a memcpy(), what advantages could UDP possibly have in that context?

by DrJokepu 9y ago
So basically this is a local web server that is used for IPC? Is there a reason to do local IPC over TCP/IP, rather than over named pipes / unix pipes, other than not knowing about the existence of named pipes / unix pipes?
