Your personal experience is probably representative in that invasive searches happen to very few people, but that's not the issue at hand. The fact remains that the British will imprison you for refusing to decrypt your stuff (or for r

You have the right to travel without ID in the U.S. The TSA may demand it, and may tell you it's legally required, but that doesn't make it true. "In fact, the TSA does not require, and the law does not authorize the TSA to r

This is cray. Protections at the U.S. border and within the U.S. are actually pretty good. Much of Europe isn't as good. Hell, the British will throw you in jail for refusing to unlock.

They can't compel you to decrypt anything, and powering down is a good idea. There are consequences for not decrypting, though: for a U.S. citizen, they can seize your stuff for up to 5 days. For non-citizens, they can elect to not let

Actually, I'm not sure they can compel non-citizens. If you want in, you might have to give them the keys. But if you would rather not enter, would they compel on pain of imprisonment? The U.S. isn't China or the UK.

The article makes the argument "there is a lot of pollen" and separately "there exist monoculture forests / tree farms" in Japan. But what it doesn't do is: 1. Argue that the pollen is worse because of monocult

My spouse was a PhD student at MIT, graduated in 2022. He was getting paid $58k a year when he left. Not an extravagant living in the Boston area, but not bad. On top of that is amazing benefits. I'm sure it varies by department? Well

No, it doesn't. DEI is about rewarding and punishing people for immutable characteristics like race and sex. Where people live isn't at all immutable, and a government may rightly do stuff to encourage economic activity (like rese

Fewer graduate students is a good thing. Academia produces WAY too many graduate students relative to the jobs available (in aggregate, some fields it's more of a problem than others). It's good for the PIs (professors in charge o

The idea of a union for graduate students seems silly to me (and I was one for six years). The idea that you're exchanging labor for money is insane: any grad student at MIT could 10x their $/hr by taking a job in the private sect

It's possible GP got it wrong, but there is a "code is speech" angle on this. Shapes can't be illegal.

I'm gonna say it: we need to build a Thunderbird replacement. It's got too much technical debt. It can't convert new users. We need something that does.

That sucks. You were wronged, and I hope you get justice. In the U.K. or Hong Kong, "justice" would entail prison.

You don't have the protections of U.S. law at the border. CBP is also asking , not compelling. You don't have to give them your password. If you don't, and you're a foreigner, you may be turned away. If you're a ci

I don't know the feminist take, but just to explain: the reason there is much much more polygyny than polyandry is basic reproduction mechanics. Women max out at ~13 kids, the most reproductively successful men have had thousands. So,

All these things are true except - Force was used to disrupt lawful governmental authority. In the end, it wasn't anything history books will recognize as an insurrection. Because it wasn't an insurrection. That word means somethi

Jan 6 wasn't an insurrection. Nobody was armed except one guy with a pistol and the dude with a spear. It was a bunch of obese methbillies trashing the place. Insurrections do not look like that.

This is a really stupid situation. We shouldn't be obstructed from flying without ID as long as we pass the regular security checks, and those security checks shouldn't be unreasonable. What can we do to get there? Is anybody orga
