I don’t really understand this point of view. There is a system to check people’s legal records, there is a system for the police to check people’s past if they apply to some sensitive job (security, banking, etc.) On the other side google

Sorry, private discussion with a key player at a university.

Under the previous administration, there was a special policy for Iranian students made so that their visa date interview collide with the beginning of their semester and they would be under-enrolled at the critical date and lose their visa

To enter the US I had to disclose my primary school address and all the following ones. I don't know what I would do if the school had disappeared before the internet was big.

Actually, they naturally do, but there is a specific law to prevent entering unless some specific criterions are met. Outside of dictatures, people are born with all the rights, and the law is made to remove them. Those law are generally ma

The problem is external criterions like data recovery, data security, quality control, access control, auditing etc.

My guess is that she felt so obviously visible that she didn’t expect to be hit. From where she started crossing she had a view of all the incoming cars for the entire length of the bridge. She was probably expecting the car to just descele

My more generous interpretation is that they were looking at the computer screen where the car shows its interpretation of the situation, people tend to lift their phone towards their face.

You absolutely don’t need to brake in this situation, there are 5 lanes, you release the gas to give the pedestrian more time to finish crossing and if it’s a bit short you go to the next lane over, aiming behind the pedestrian. That’s what

In France it’s 100% (in civil cases), unless the driver can prove it’s a suicide. It just goes by kinetic energy: you store it, you are responsible for it. Other people don’t have to dodge your car. And since death penalty is not part of th

I passed there tonight, the place is incredibly well lit and the person was probably visible from before the underpass, and probably visible the entire time she was on the road because of the geometry of the curve.

I mainly use my N26 card here in the US, because I believe the conversion rate is cheaper (I never actually checked). If you are in the US, the instant notification of credit card swiping is mostly useless in restaurants, since it doesn&#x2

This population has a shit life of pariahs, getting ripped off at the work place, avoiding check points on the road, worrying of being Anne Franked by ICE, never leaving the country, and generally avoiding airports and train stations.

no, individualized sentences are part of the justice procedure.

is the "Massive" part just grand standing, or does it correspond to a legal qualification of the alleged offense? Interestingly I can't google that because I get drowned under Theranos results.

Unless you use the GPS, and the cellular base stations are time sync with the GPS system, so your mobile phone.

I don’t see a lot of due process in this execution. Upholding the values of the constitution is only a week-end hobby?

You are late to the party, the latest trend is to strip citizenship from naturalized people we don’t like, it’s only possible if they retained one previous citizenship.

I was skeptical about the business model, the bikes cost a lot, are rented for cheap, and for some reasons the companies go head to head in the same towns instead of covering different areas. And if they kill each other and the winner raise

I have a bike and there are bike shares around me. I am still trying to figure out a policy, but I lean towards bike share for everything short, because it’s like a taxi, you don’t need to go back to your bike. But bike share are crappy, so

Generally they don’t want to give naturalization to people with more than one nationality. But if you are a full right citizen by an other rule, you could end up with more than that. A small detail has to be noted, wether it has been recogn

In France a few years ago I registered for unemployment benefits (that was quite a quest), I received a letter from the electricity utility telling me that I qualified for a reduced price. Later when I found a job, they put back the normal

I am a bit curious about the dockless bike shares too, I suspect the same thing.

This amendment feels so random, tho. Why firearms and not other weapons? Why not general means of defense? There are also consistency issues, the prohibition was an amendment, what made that thing negociable? Other fundamental rules are com

Remember that the bill of rights didn’t prevent slavery. There is a common trick for enlightened democracies: you can always call some groups of people non-citizens and do horrible stuff to them. The trick is as old as democracy, the Greeks

There is an opportunity cost to switching too: you don’t know your gain before switching is realized (hence you don’t know over how long to amortize the project), and the switching project could fail altogether. So there is a conservative a

Different times, different behaviors. Now Yemen is ravaged by famine and the US is droning it.

there is a little issue, you don't hover an helicopter next to people and, and you don't land next to untrained people (because they could rush to the tail rotor). And they turn a lot around a site before landing, where was the pi

The trick is that there has never been any confirmed dangerous collision with a quadcopter, all the tests have shown them less dangerous than geese, and accidents in the wild have never impacted the air-worthiness of the aircraft. We will p
