In practice it would probably be best to use the terminology of the country you are visiting. A visa is a document that says “Visa” on it. Things like US ESTA, Schengen ETIAS, Canadian eTA, etc., are not called visas by the jurisdictions th

The situation is similar for ESTA and travel to the United States. ESTA is required for travel by plane and ship, but not over land. If you are planning to apply for admission to the US under the visa waiver program at a crossing of the lan

Did you have to stay in a designated transit area of the airport, or were you able to roam about more freely? (It was too much trouble to try to find the old pre-2003 regulations.)

The US used to have a program called “ITI” which was suspended in 2003. I don’t know exactly how it worked logistically. Travelers were supposed to stay in a certain area of the airport. I believe Miami had a separate secure transit area—wa

Don’t some of the commercial RTOSes have optional fixed, time slot–based scheduling like you describe? I thought I had seen that, but now I can’t find any examples with some simple searches.

The situation in Denmark is the same. Back when pre-registered companies were more common, the Stakemann law firm in Copenhagen had a big share of this market, and Peter Andreas Stakemann is the founder of a large number of Danish companies

Is it because there might be another Python process running, that was started after this one started, that has mapped the same executable or shared libraries?

This is the case for the latest process nodes for the fastest CPUs. But even aside from memory makers, there are microcontroller and analog vendors who still run their own fabs. For example Texas Instruments, NXP, STMicroelectronics and Ana

That was my thought reading this list too. I am sure every calendar system will have a list of calendrical fallacies like this. But if you do decide to support the Hebrew calendar, you will not get “The current year is 2018” wrong. Or the n

The option showed up for me a few hours after this was posted on HN. But as far as I can tell, in Tor Browser 8.0, it’s still using exit nodes when I access cloudflare.com and the site I activated the option on. Does anyone know how to see

Many countries have a “well-known trademark” doctrine where a mark can be so famous that any business using it could be a source of consumer confusion. For example, if you see that Coca-Cola has released a firewall, you might well think it

It’s worth noting that while the government in Taiwan still officially claims all of China, the government is currently led by a president (Tsai Ing-wen) whose party does not whole-heartedly endorse that position.

British PCPs are very similar to the car leases that have been very common in the United States for many years (in both prime and subprime markets). There has been a lot of recent discussion about the risks associated with PCPs is mainly be

“No” (in a different tone perhaps) or “no thanks” does seem like the straightforward, serious answer to that question.

The movie was set at JFK, but it could not have happened there in real life because US airports do not have international transit areas with restaurants or shops. The area before passport control usually contains bathrooms and little else.

The prevailing wage is based on the skill level of the position, and for some occupations in certain lower-wage geographical areas, it can be quite low and even less than $60,000 for an entry-level employee. (There’s is a lower bound to the

I think what was meant was that they don’t store a second hash in order to allow chopping off a character at the end. I agree with you that they would need to store extra hashes for allowing all-caps and some of the other cases.

I believe Tesla charges at least $3,000 extra for self-driving Autopilot package. If it comes to it, they might be willing to just reimburse California residents the $150.
