I believe the photo is encoded in the digital passport contents and the computer will check your face in the camera to see it matches. No human involved. Many countries have automatic passport gates now using this method.

My M1 laptop from early 2022 is too good for me to care about upgrading right now, I loaded it up with 64GB ram and it's still blazing. What benefit would I really notice? My heavy apps loading a couple of seconds faster?

His version of A Star is Born, with Strisand, is a masterpiece that will be sadly overshadowed by the inferior Gaga/Cooper attempt, the 1976 version reaches perfect notes in the height of rock hedonism and it's comedown. Kristiffe

My best engineers don't want a promotion, but they wanted to be optimally and continuously rewarded both financially and with the ability to be able to decline non-meaningful or low-interest tasks. As Gary Tan's quote said: learn

How did prime help you in another country? I tried that because I get better prices in my neighbouring EU country but it won't ship to me with prime shipping.

I do this with 'spiced chai' (cardomom or other spice teas). It gives a delicious full flavour, but ugh no cow milk please. Oat or almond.

Good to see this essay, it resonates a lot with me after a hard week with staff which fortunately had a positive outcome in the end thanks to what I've come to believe is important. Having been through several disasters as a founder an

What dreams may come is sublime, and sad and beautiful. I've rewatched and remain charmed. Try 2006's The Fall for another special film that surprises your heart and gives a visual treat.

The original, which is for sure a lovely photo, is difficult because the image exists for a purpose which isolates, and simultaneously draws attention to, certain demographics. I recommended checking out Berger's series Ways of Seeing,

It's too easy to hide wealth so you'd need to choose some other metric such as private jet rides, then have some kind of lottery.

Anything by Hilary Mantel is extraordinary and worth your reading time. Wolf Hall trilogy threw me into a decade-long search into who really was Thomas Cromwell, A Place of Greater Safety finally made me feel like I understand the French Re

I'm also resorting to punching 1,1,1,1 or whatever combo works and asking the first person who answers on that tree to put me through where I need to go. For voice activation it means making unintelligible sounds in the hopes of the sy

In my circles it's Gen xer's coming into an unsettling acceptance of the type of conservative you become in your late 40's/early 50's where you've seen radicalism just not work like we were promised in our post

Why the assumption I said this about humans? I was referring to parasites in the theoretical. More weirdly, was someone equating a tree's ability to be destructive, compared to human's ability to do so. The only time I've see

As far as I understand, greenhouse tomatoes, such as those from the Netherlands, lack flavour which the sun gives. Best tomatoes I ever had were In Cádiz in south of Spain, they were from the nearby town of Conil and had so much fullness an

I live in a major city outside the US and the culture here is very non-transactional with the neighbourhood vendors. Sometimes I forget to have enough cash and I they'll suggest I pay later (and always do). I'll be given excellent
