I think that part is made easier by the fact that I uploaded the ID in the first place under fully trusted conditions. If I have the same physical piece of ID—as I imagine OP might have, upon release from prison—then they can directly com

The author asserts that reports have documented deaths of starvation due to Aadhaar identification issues. That seems pretty extreme and horrifying. The author doesn’t cite their source for that claim—is anyone familiar with the underlying

I wasn’t previously aware of that dimension of the post-war German occupation. War sucks. Thank you for adding context that’s new to me.

In conditions of desperation, aren’t the strong people with the guns always the last to starve?

I for one would appreciate the option to put an ID on file ahead of time, at least for important stuff like this. I like digital-only accounts for play, but for work stuff with real-world consequence, I’d like to link it to a real-world id

Ah, but what happens when somebody rich and powerful decides the aliens’ advantages will serve their purposes, and stands up an industrial-scale cloning operation? There are only so many base models to date, right? With limited and somewhat

Intolerably ChatGPT-esque. Which is a shame, it seems like a nifty little DIY experiment. I think what stands out to me is this cartoonishly punchy, faux-dramatic framing. That, and specialist terms that seem to be thrown in there in an emp

Don’t the elderly people in question—where they or their sponsors can’t cover the cost—1) have their visa applications denied on public charge grounds, or 2) not receive those treatments? I was of the impression that, in the US at least, su

I’m also confused as to why this is Microsoft-only advice. It keeps sounding like the proclamation involves adjusting an administrative fee for new visas (which, I guess, must be how it bypasses normal rulemaking procedures?). How does that

And the sponsoring immigrant would be responsible for the bill.

What if, as a condition of the visa [0], the sponsoring high-performing immigrant guarantees that the relative won’t become a public charge, and becomes legally bound to reimburse the public purse if that happens? I seem to recall the notio

Huh! Autolocking behavior has bothered me for as long as I remember seeing it, and I’d love to believe that it improves safety against crashes (rather than notional “bad guys trying to open the door on your journey” or something). It’s only

I mean, and.. with the map South-up, all the stuff is crammed down at the bottom now, no? Aren’t most of the people and land and things in the North part? A casual Google [0] suggests 88% of the humans, for example? I don’t understand the “

Weren’t you, in your initial post, suspicious that the research process was settling on a pessimistic consensus view? Figuring that, because most every formal study is coming up negative (or “no effect supported”), it must be that the resea
