Why waste the backdoor on routine screening?


The only relevant part from that document is this line from page 33: "Foreign visitors have the fewest rights... if a foreign visitor refuses a border agent’s demand to unlock their digital device, provide the device password, or provide social media information, and the agent responds by denying entry, the foreign visitor may have little legal recourse."


Canada and Mexico were already hit with 25% tariffs (on non-USMCA-compliant goods) last month...

Like the parent said, a tech-related opsec failure at this level is absolutely something a 'good hacker' would find interesting.


>tech-related opsec failure

Not sure that 'fat fingering' on a mobile device rises to the level of tech-related opsec. The choice to use a non-government approved device certainly is news, but not necessarily Hacker News. Plenty of better places to debate it.

I often see this comment, but there are never any sources provided. Any links to share?


I've had good luck just asking for it, even with group chats (though admittedly my friends are mostly technical and more privacy conscious than the average person). Usually it's a switch from FB Messenger and I just say that I don't want to be locked into Facebook anymore.


Accidental pregnancy is preventable, but abortion restrictions also undermine the safety of women who are pregnant by choice. We saw this recently with Nevaeh Crain, for example, who died because doctors were afraid that treating her might harm her baby. Sadly the baby died anyway.

You can't protect against random medical emergencies.


They're different. El Zonte (aka Bitcoin Beach) is a town that exists in the west of El Salvador, and Bitcoin City is a new development project being proposed in the east.


Actually you can get parts for Huffys, direct from the manufacturer online. Mine has had replaced tires, pedals, crankshaft, and chain.


Beautiful, thanks for the lovely garden and knowledge share. We recently added some plants in front of our home in the Mission but still have a ways to go - seeing this is really helpful and inspiring.

And since it's randomly/incredibly hyper-relevant, I'll plug this petition to save a Florida St sidewalk garden: https://chng.it/frXFyYNYKh


That garden has always been an inspiration to me, it has a spirit that seems to capture the neighborhood’s essence: improvised and thriving.

What a shame it would be to loose that oasis. I’m going to stay tuned in and do what I can to help.


For one thing, in California, prop 13 means that property taxes on a newly purchased smaller home would be a lot more than a bigger/nicer home purchased decades ago. In a lot of other places, property taxes are similarly under-assessed on homes that were bought a long time ago, just not as egregiously.


> in California, prop 13

This is orthogonal to housing delivering real returns. (Common cause, granted.)
