If you left with a phone (pretty mic required), you can’t come back with an extra iPhone - since those are typically > $1000. Of course, people will. It’s mostly the folks bringing back 5 new phones or whatever that get nailed. But mostl

Pfft, ICE agents wish they were pirates. In other parts of the world, plenty of people romanticize ancestry with Ghenghis Khan too. Everyone loves being seen to be on the ‘winning’ side sometimes, (and there is always a counter-culture mino

If you use them regularly, renting is both a pain in the ass and quite costly. If you have atypical security (or even normal, in many cases) or usage patterns, it’s even worse. A lot of folks are relearning lessons on this front in Cloud ri

Eh, I think ‘miscalculation’ might be giving too much credit about good intentions. He wanted (needed?) to get on the hype train for self driving to pump up the stock price, knew that at the time there was zero chance they could sell it at

I have never met an offshore team which can untangle something that complicated, but hey I’m sure they exist somewhere! Typically, after thinking a bit, I’ve been able to replace hundreds of lines of AI ‘slop’ (literally) with 1-2 lines. Bu

Yes, it’s a big reason why they have always tended to be based out of immigrant communities - those were excluded from mainstream culture, governance, etc. If you were mainstream you didn’t need the mafia - you were already the gov’t, the p

The reality is that presidents (in almost every system), like MPs, are representatives of some faction of entrenched interests somewhere or another, or they wouldn’t get to be president. It’s the same for dictators, and well pretty much any

Depends on if someone ends up launching nukes over this, which there isn’t a non-zero chance is going to occur. This same type of info war tends to muddy, confuse, and get everyone on edge.
