I had an interesting experience with my Revolut card. I only top it up when traveling, and the rest of the time it sits nearly empty, with like $3-4. At some point I started getting occasional notifications about transactions declining. Stu

That's been my observation of AI customer support. They're pretty much all glorified FAQ reciters unable to handle any unusual or uncommon situation not in the FAQs.

If we're going to have self-censorship due to everything we say online tied to our real identity can we at least get some shiny buildings and high speed trains out of the deal too? I've been online since early 2000s internet and f

There's too much demand for their labor. You'd have to go after the businesses that hire them in a way that would hurt certain constituents. TPTB have given themselves the Sisyphean task of rounding up enough of them to appease a

It's not an ideal outcome it's a very non-enviable multi-decade process working menial jobs and being at risk of something benign like a traffic stop escalating to imprisonment at any time. This fantasy that illegals are living in

Breaker size =/= charging speed. Breakers are oversized for safety reasons. The Wall Connector is on a 60A breaker and charges at 48A. NEMA 14-50 outlets are on 50A breakers but can't charge your car at 48A. 40 iirc, and the mobil

This is why Im glad I learned to code before vibecoding. I tell codex exactly what tools and platforms to use instead of letting it default to whatever is the most popular, and I guard my .env and api keys carefully. I still build things pa

It's not exactly a linguistics discussion, it's a discussion about attracting talent to live/work somewhere. Im not saying whether it's good or bad on China's part, that's a separate issue. Im saying that the p

It's not just about language. There's no common practical path to becoming "Chinese", either in a legal or cultural sense. Save for a few rare exceptions, you cannot move there, join the culture, become a citizen, etc e

What kind of rooms are you lighting up? I like LED strips enough to use them as a main light source a lot of the time, but if you really want to make a room "pop" you still need floor lamps, recessed lights, hanging, and wall ligh

Run one wireguard server in your home and one client instance on this router and now all of your devices can share the same residential VPN connection. No fraud blocks or extra verifications from your banking apps, no million suspicious log

The unpaid version of cruise control/autopilot is actually a different software from the one that comes bundled with FSD. I actually think the semi-smart autopilot that comes bundled with FSD is better than FSD itself. I tried to get i

From the article: >The statement was consistent with earlier remarks by South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun, who, after traveling to Washington to negotiate the workers’ release, said that U.S. officials had agreed to allow them to re

Because Hyundai was not hiring 500 illegals, that is completely false. Everyone who got deported is allowed to return under the same visas they were on before. They were not allowed to stay without being ejected first because it would have

Different populists have different ideal numbers for how many people they want to purge. Some want 10 million, some want 20-50 million going decades back and reversing whatever laws allowed the "wrong kind" of even legal immigrant

I thought this submission was interesting because it highlights edge cases that were probably incomprehensible when the backend was first written. Who would think that someone would accumulate so many violations without intervention by the

I've been eyeing the home battery space and every year there are new options(mostly from China) to get 10-15kwh stored. Powerwalls aren't keeping up in per kwh value. At some point it's gotta be cheaper to just buy a tesla an

The downside with these is that in scenarios where you need the extra juice, like say a guided tour all day where you'll be taking a lot of photos and putting it in your pocket, they tend to run hot and drain faster. Then you're c

I actually dont think that Americans on business visas in China setting up factories and training workers was wrong. This isn't a "two wrongs make a right" argument. It would've been a long term strategic blunder for Chi

Ok I see where the confusion was. The point of comparison was not somebody with no visa at all going to China. An early 2000s US employee with a valid multi-entry business visa (i.e type M), flying to China on short notice and doing hands o

It sounds like China facilitates foreign direct investment by making it faster and easier for foreign companies to set up factories and fly in talent to train local workers. If I were in a Thucidian power struggle and trying to re-shore ind

Who said anything about excusing crime? At least dozens of valid visa holders were caught in the dragnet, some appear to have been in a gray area as to what they were allowed to do(the "strawman" in question), and some were truly

One thing missing from the public debate and I havent seen any writers I follow bring up: When US companies first started outsourcing their factories to Korea, China, and other countries, they were doing the exact same thing. They were just

One problem I have with all these self control style apps is that they only let you set total per day hourly limits. My intuition is that if you give yourself a two hour, one hour, even 30 minute limit per day you're still liable to dr

I don't see what's so bad about wanting to avoid an area where there's police activity going on. It has nothing to do with whether or not you're doing anything wrong, it's as simple as not wanting to get hassled at

The US refuses to admit it has always had an addiction to cheap labor so it entices desperate people to come over with the implicit assumption that if they keep their head down and are otherwise law-abiding it'll "look the other w

add to that food calorie labels arent required to be 100% accurate, there's an acceptable range like +/- 20% iirc. That's enough to throw off a precise deficit. Calorie counting is more about directionally helping you lower y

As an American who's fluent in Spanish, I got over this "debate" about what America means by acknowledging that the word America is a homonym.

These threads tend to devolve into, "Americans are so unsophisticated everyone else in the world is banning cars and turning downtown into walkable utopia" but what they really mean by rest of the world is a few crowded European c
