It's not really the only way (PostgreSQL has recursive queries), but it's definitely the most convenient (and in many cases the most efficient) way if you're not worried about referential integrity.

They actually release these numbers: https://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/CBP_DHS_20... Out of the 375 million passengers processed in FY 2014, 34 million was referred to secondary inspectio

If they're searching your phone, it's likely that you're already in secondary inspection. At that point if you're an alien they're already suspecting that you're inadmissible and they are trying to build a case

This is bad advice I'm afraid. If you're an alien seeking admission to the United States it's your responsibility to prove that you don't have immigrant intent, not the CBP's responsibility that you do. By showing u

It's been a long while since I saw that movie, but I'm fairly certain that it was way more complicated than your synopsis.

The situation is way more complicated than what can be discussed in a HN comment. When it comes to things like social security taxes, the taxation of US-sourced income etc., double taxation treaties can help a lot, but generally speaking no

Yes that does not sound right. My wife is a US citizen, we live in the UK, I prepare her US tax returns every year myself. It takes about a Saturday afternoon every year and it costs me $0. It's rather complicated, but not paying-someo

Also, you get Foreign Tax Credit for income tax paid abroad, which means that even if you earn more than the Foreign Income Exclusion Threshold ($100,800 in 2015) in practice you will only pay the IRS any income tax if you live in a country

In my experience, once your application grows large, if there is a clear path or direction of data flow you tend do have less bugs. If your application has N components and you don't have a single data "bus" you have N * N po

I guess an argument could be made that this would only maximize short-term tax revenue, and only tax revenue that is, as you said, collected from income taxes, which might or might not correlate to the guest worker's long-term direct a

And then the CBP officer will put you on the next flight back. You don't have to hand over your password, they don't have to admit you to the United States.

It's not really a ternary operator though, because the value that is tested for existence is only evaluated once, e.g. instead of a != null ? fn(a) : null it's more like (a, fn) => a != null ? fn(a) : null

DB2 is actually a fairly decent database. I would be really surprised if DB2 was the weakest link in their technology stack.

Actually, if you really want to score some office politics brownie points, you should try to solve the manager's manager's pain points!

Please do not use the "you're a white male" line on me, because you know nothing about me.

I don't think that's true. This doesn't describe any of the police officers at London's Metropolitan Police Service (or the NYPD for that matter) I ever interacted with.

Only a small portion of that 118 km will be in newly built tunnel and there will be relatively few newly built underground stations on Crossrail, which is why it's much cheaper (underground stations are very expensive to build). Also,

I know nothing about investing but I feel somewhat skeptical about these arguments. How many startups actually failed because they were using a poor package manager or source control host?

I've paid for it, and for a bunch of other editors such as TextMate, BBEdit and Chocolate as well. These days I pretty much only use VSCode, which is, ironically, given away for free (but it's so good that I would actually pay for

No, this is a rather cynical thing to say. In a free society, the rule of the people is only one of the pillars of freedom. Other pillars include the rule of law, certain inalienable rights, etc. Without these, the rule of the people descen

They could hash all the possible triplets. This would be still ridiculously easy to crack, but it's not cleartext anymore so maybe it would pass the tick box security audit this way?

I always wonder what gives authors of these curated lists the authority to be curators? Are they like, experts in the specific domain? What is the curation process? It's difficult to take them seriously unless these questions are answe

I think you way overestimate how clever or diligent criminals are. If you have the skills and persistence to pull something like this off there are almost certainly more profitable (and quite possibly legal) avenues of work available to you
