It should be added that the US taxes you worldwide even after you leave, so I would file the US as even worse in this regard. In that they tax you when you stop being tax "resident", just like the others.

That was… abundantly clear. We are thankful.

Ah, so it does. But when you make an assumption, you make an ass of u and mption. To have your webserver simply assume that anybody who manages to connect is trusted not a great plan. There's a right way to do it (see my previous comme

1. Have (and maintain!) a list of addresses you trust to not lie (e.g. your own proxy layers, cloudflare's proxy IP list, akamai, GCP LB, AWS LB, etc…) 2. If the connecting party (real TCP connection remote end) is in the trusted list,

5%-20% sounds like a MUCH lower premium than I expected. And yes, no matter what you think of America First (I'm not even American), that sounds very much worth it.

Not saying it's safe. But it's not the worst. Also one should keep in mind the danger people subject themselves merely to go the last hop from France to UK. That's a long way to say that the upstream comment was reading too m

So mostly Europe, according to this logic? But that's not entirely fair, since Africa to Europe may mean risking your life on a tiny boat, but Mexico to US is at least a land border. Also UK gets it's share of life risking boats.

In how I read it, it looks like they're literally asking for the permission to process your data IN ORDER TO provide these features. "You agree to let Google […] use your […] content […] * TO* personalize your experience[…]"

The most annoying thing about being a good bot owner, in my experience, is when you get complaints about it misbehaving, only to find that it was actually somebody malicious who wrote their own abusive bot, but is using your bot's user

I did say 10x better alloca. I'm saying that's not good enough, and seems very narrow. You could do this in C++, with RAII stacked arena allocators. Though it's unclear to me from the blog post if C3 would prevent returning a

This does not seem like it solves any hard problem. It's just a 10x better alloca() with allocator integration?

The worst part, in my opinion, is that people fell for it. Instead of hearing a split second two syllable "twitter", we now keep hearing "X, formerly known as twitter". That's 8 syllables. You just gave 4x free adve

To be clear, I don't just mean opening a physical office. I also mean the cost of having your first remote worker who lives and works from another state. For employee relocation, that's definitely true. Even moving from Hawaii to

I'm not the person you're responding to, but in my hobby experience it's sometimes the difference between a photo being fine or even great, and being completely unusable. If the white balance is set wrong in-camera, then the

It's a bit confusing to see "openflow" diagrams that include network components, that have nothing to do with OpenFlow. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenFlow It is unrelated, right? Just a name clash wi

So they'll be ready for Brexit, phase 2, but that's it?

Yeah, but my point was as a reply to the claim that it was clearly something else that denied him entry. Which it could still be. ESTA was granted because it was a "maybe". Then they found something at the border that was not in m

I don't recall them asking for any social media at any point. But I don't have Facebook, tiktok, instagram, snapchat, grinder, myspace, or other muggle social media. I of course wouldn't know if they tried to find my profiles

No. Sure, if you get sent to secondary screening they may pick up your bag for you, but no. Luggage pickup is after CBP. As far as I remember this is the case everywhere.

Not when I went there. I needed a lot of paperwork for the visa at their embassy, and to surrender my passport for a few days, and a signed statement from my employer that I was not a journalist of any kind. I got in. I was sent to some for

There may not be any conversion at all. I have cards able to carry balances in multiple currencies. I also have foreign bank accounts. Billing address is not a sure way to predict currency.

Yeah it's amazing that Google is the worst offender. I think this is because half of Google live their entire career in California, so they don't know about other languages, units, time zones at all. It's weird, because they

by knorker 1y ago
Some sites ignore en-US because so many devices ship that as a default. The Internet becomes a bit better if you set your language to en-AU. But yes, many ignore the selected language or units completely.

Also: Don't guess my units . Why oh why does Google Maps think that "miles", "feet", and "yards" are words that have any meaning at all? Only like a 20th of the world even knows what these obscure things

As is constantly being made abundantly clear from blockchain stuff, code cannot make legal systems obsolete. No crime in the world can be made physically impossible. Why would hacking be any different?
