The last recession in the US ended officially ended in 2009. I know the recovery has arguably been sluggish and uneven, but it doesn't seem like the slow & steadily rising GDP over an eight year span should explain much of this sho

I know. We probably just disagree about the ordering of these possibilities: * Keep spending $B/2 on bombs * Give $B/2 back to the taxpayers instead * Use the $B/2 to support cultural activities that are not profitable enough

If a state intelligence agency is targeting you, there's just really not a lot you can do at that point. But ephemeral9235's suggestions should work OK to avoid handing over all your personal data at the border.

That would work except that it's super inconvenient.

I do, but see my further clarification below. In any case, it doesn't matter whether I personally would do this. It's clear to me that a bunch of people would. And I KNOW complaining about downvotes is like the HN kiss of death,

Yes. For me it would depend on the nature of the relationship (and "maybe I'm a sneaky jerk"). But often people send each other "home videos", or create them together, outside of what I'd consider a Relationsh

Thanks for clarifying. I can see how it would be confusing for someone to be dropped into chapter 5 of the book with a section title like that. Common Lisp hackers may use "Lisp" colloquially as a shorthand for the language they&#
