Yes. In fact I just filled a UK ETA for my 1 year old daughter, and after taking a photo of the MRZ the application asked me to confirm if she was born in 1924 or 2024 :-)

This is incredible. Almost feels like another world.

You can bring food. You’re right about drinks though. Albeit it’s not very hard to find free water in airports.

Aren't all immigration "arrests" all "detentions", technically speaking (not that it makes any difference in reality - you're behind bars)? Aren't ICE prisons called "detention centers"?

Right but some code will stop compiling, no?

In my EU country, lots of first year students are kind of lost and are picking their major more or less at random (or very unprepared). Very low passing rates in first year are very common. It gets better in 3rd year and after.

I went to Japan (first time) a few months ago, and I was blown away by almost everything (including what you mention). It's just so different from the US in almost every way, but so nice overall (people, cities, transit). I loved it an

Ha so that's why my git pull were so slow. I should have checked HN faster.

Personally that's all I'm asking for. Transparent pricing. It amazes me how far business will go to to just hide how much they want to charge me. Recently in California, restaurant have been great at making their prices as difficu

I get you. AFAICT what's included for airlines is basically "get me from A to B". There are usually ways to filter out by seat types, though, both on airlines websites and in places like Google flights. In my experience those

For plane that's pretty unfair. If you don't get any ancillary fees, the price you see is almost exactly up to the cent what you pay. Now if you get any extra, sure. But that's a different problem from Airbnb hiding 100% of t

Very cool. I actually learned something by reading just the abstract, which does not happen often.

Amazing episode - highly recommend it.

FWIW Triton can actually be used pretty easily from C++ straight using MLIR. XLA does that. Maybe not exactly a frontend but not that far.

I'm sure Peter can answer this much better than I can, but just in case: you might want to look into Direct Consular Filing and whether it applies to you https://www.boundless.com/immigration-resources/direct-consu

If there is no minimum payment then, by definition, there can't be any late fee since you're never late and can simply not pay forever without being delinquent.

The fact that my internet connection drops for, say, 5 mins twice a day is enough to make me go to the office and work from there. It's surprisingly disruptive.

Ho man. I'm so sorry for your loss. Can't imagine how that must feel like. > Treasure your loved ones while you have them. So true, yet so easy to forget sometimes during the day to day life.

I have reolink PoE cameras which I really like (work well with HA too), although they're a bit more expensive than 50$.

With OPT and STEM OPT that’s _sort of_ the case, albeit for 3 years, not 5.

Before, multiple companies could register the same person for the lottery, therefore increasing the odds for said person. This is now no longer possible. Why it took so long to implement this rule is a mystery though. Seems like such an obv

And EB-1 has quotas. So even if you qualify it may take many many years for Indians/Chinese folks.

Makes no difference. It's a temporary status, not permanent residency. It potentially helps you slightly for EB-1 (permanent residency for "extraordinary people") since it has similar requirements, and EB-1 has slightly bette
