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.

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

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.

There's always the opportunity. You could start a terrific technology company in Toronto (and stay there) right now, but you'd be an outlier. That said, I think it'll only take a few high-visibility 'anchor' companies to seed the city and start pulling people back in. And that could very reasonably happen in the next 5-10 years.

Yes. Junior dev base pay in SF is 100k. I know junior devs here making 130k. Add RSUs, factor in the exchange rate... the multiplier is easily 2-3x.

Not if Toronto keeps hemorrhaging talent. I graduated from the University of Toronto last year and can only name 2 of my classmates who are actually working in Toronto now. The rest are in SF, Seattle, and NYC - including many people who have family in Toronto, like me. All of my friends who were seriously working on a startup have moved it to the Bay Area.

Many of us would love to move back to Toronto 'eventually', for family reasons and because it's a great city overall, but for now the money and opportunities in the States are too good. In SF I'm making 2-3x what I'd make in Toronto and get to work on a globally-relevant system. And 80% of my social network is here now, too.
