I think that's why they are going to create many subsidiaries with a lot of different brand names. Until those names can't "spread" anymore, because it's too many different names and they often change.

Sure, but they might tell people: no, it's not Flock, it's something much safer, not such a privacy invading AI camera like Flock.

My prediction: they are going to change their name and move a lot of their business to multiple subsidiary with different names. Until nobody notices anymore it's all one company formerly known as Flock.

Just mark "no" on the form and it's no problem anymore. Or mark "yes" and list it. Nothing is going to happen.

It's not the UK, which is similarly fu*d up as the US.

If you're worried about that, you are not living in a free country anymore.

Lol no. Nobody cares. Also airlines don't care. Edit: typical US perspective. Something that happens in the US doesn't have relevant implications to the rest of the world.

So it's even better for a non-citizen, because you can just turn around and go home? I don't get why some people end up in a detention center. Why not send them back home on the next flight? Even if people can't pay the ticke

Yes, the whole system is broken for a long time. Basically since 9/11.

Wiping phones/laptops before entering the US is common practice for many organizations for over a decade now.

I know it isn't routine. But it does happen. I know two people that had to go into secondary inspection and I think they had to unlock their phones. Both of them were completely normal business travelers without anything dubious in the

Is there any difference between US citizens and visitors? It just seems like US citizens think those charades are normal and don't question them. In my home country I can just deny getting my devices searched. They might be allowed to

It might be suspicious, but they don't get any incriminating evidence that way. It's also much easier for people visiting. Most of the time entry is denied and you can take the next plane back home. I'm fine with that, don&#x

Anyone still crossing US borders with electronic devices that aren't fully wiped? This is company policy for some European companies for a long time. Even during the Biden administration. Most employees just receive a wiped phone/

I really like the idea. It's so easy to create small tools with AI now, but hard to install them as local apps or share them. But I'm missing a few relevant features: 1. syncing data and apps (capsules) between my devices. not nec

It's the default/only option for popular apps like Signal or WhatsApp. If message history is important it should be backed up on the receiver's end after decryption, like WhatsApp and signal do.

E2E encryption should be part of the main protocol spec and mandatory. It's 2026 now. Nobody needs a messenger that isn't encrypted.

I usually just get them from IKEA. They have different sizes from 0.4l to 6l. I try not to overfill them if possible, much easier to see what's inside.

Transparent ziplock bags changed my cable organization significantly. I also put a lot of accessories into them. Preferably together with a small note about what it is for, or with the manual of the device it belongs to. Storing stuff in in

It's inline CSS, but with all the limitations of inline styles removed. There is a lot of stuff that can't be done with inline styles, like media queries.

Because you still need a good sales and product team. Speak with potential customers, understand their problems. Building the software was never the hard part.

This is becoming more and more of a problem. For a small software company it could become an asset. Tell customers they are privately owned and small, and therefore won't be acquired by VCs. Traditionally big vendors were more trustwor

I think tech founders need to think smaller. Build software for a few thousand people and make a profit from it. Something niche. Something that is sustainable with a small team. VC eats up everything that's becoming bigger. And they w

Are there modern positioning systems that can automatically join all those data sources into one position? Traditionally navaids are treated as completely separate sources and are shown on different kind of instruments. But they could also

The "cut and die" part is happening rather quickly, and you're done with it. But you might be hungry for weeks and have to watch your crops grow. Probably really boring and uncomfortable.

It's actually not that hard to return to this lifestyle. Maybe easier than ever before. Just buy an old farm somewhere in the middle of nowhere and do your thing. There are many regions in the world where farmland is really cheap and n

This regulation is utterly broken. The only way for a small business is to ignore it completely and hope for the best.

Interesting idea. Modern media and social media is probably really the most relevant change we had in the last 15 years. Everything else didn't change that much.
