Care to provide a citation for people being asked hard algorithmic questions by CBP before? To be clear, I don't think Trump is directly responsible for this. But I think he's sent a signal to fascists and racists around the count

You started by talking about "wealthy people" and then switched to talking about companies and payroll. This is a motte and bailey argument: your reply is perfectly reasonable, while your original statement was definitely not.

> The people with the wealth pay people for one reason and one reason only: they have to. Huh? In your worldview is charity just not a thing?

I don't think that's sufficient probable cause. They don't suspect that everyone on the plane is an illegal immigrant More importantly, they should plenty of less-invasive procedures. The airline should have a passenger man

I agree it's not unusual and I doubt this has anything to do with Trump. That doesn't change the fact that it's unconstitutional to require ID. "Dragnets" are not a good thing. There's a reason people often u

You might be able to try, but that's a much flimsier case than them taking punitive actions against you for refusing to show ID.

Indeed. And that's not an anachronism, I just did it 2 years ago when I forgot my license. Just had to show them a credit card.

Allowing violations of our rights "just in this case" is how they get stripped down to nothing. The government does not have the right to demand your ID at any time they please.

Constitutionally, they don't have a leg to stand on. The police cannot demand your ID without probable cause. I wonder what would have happened if someone refused.

I actually found kayaking and hiking in Alaska amazing (I was only there for 2 weeks). We'd be going for 12-16 hours a day but the constant sunlight made me feel super energized and happy.

Keto has so far been quite easy to maintain. It's just a simple habit change. I already walk to work every day.

It's definitely the best diet I've ever tried. After the first week I stopped craving carbs at all. Plus I feel full all the time.

There are plenty of people hiking the AT who are decidedly not wealthy. Heck, I've met quite a few hikers who hike specifically to save money (living off social security).

If you're in NYC, there are several hiking clubs which are very friendly to beginners which you could join.

Indeed. One of my favorite things about thru-hiking is that you get a ton of sleep: it's not unusual go to bed shortly after sunset and wake up at sunrise.

By far the best shape I've ever been in was after hiking the 270-mile Long Trail in high school. It's the only time on my life—before or after—that I've ever been not overweight. The amazing thing about thru-hiking is that yo

Yea, unfortunately Terraform often insists on a full teardown when it would be possible to make an incremental update.

Seriously, I had to stop reading this article after the ridiculous hyperbole of the first sentence. Most things that most developers work on are private. More importantly even when the code isn't private, the context and reasoning be

Sure, but it's a catch-22. If nobody trusts the currency, nobody will offer significant value for it. If nobody offers value for it, then nobody will ever trust it. If I can buy an hour of your time for this, awesome. Make that offer.

Ideally you implement a middle ground of declarative (but not necessarily immutable) infrastructure where changes are diffed. Terraform does this pretty nicely.

Yet the candidate who basically ran on that platform didn't even make it past the primary while someone doing the opposite is now president. Politics isn't rational.

You're missing the part about Bitcoin having a fixed rate of inflation. There's nothing to stop you from deciding to totally devalue your currency tomorrow, so it's impossible for people to even speculate on its future valu

I don't want to be too negative, but this seems very meaningless. I've just given you 5000 morgante points for your comment. I'll give you 5 more tomorrow! Nobody accepts morgante points for anything so it's inherently m

Do you have numbers to back that up? While I'm sure that there are certain customers who churn regularly, there's another whole group who very regularly send payments and love TransferWise (ex. freelancers).
