Because I was curious about this exact same question, I did some looking on this last night. Case law on this seemingly requires some nexus to a border. In Almeida-Sanchez v US[0], a Mexican citizen was stopped while driving on an east-west

It's almost a HN meme at this point (and you might be referencing it ;-)). But for anyone unaware, SQLite's test coverage is _outstanding_ and well worth reading about[0]. [0] https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html

While I actually sympathize with your position, I think your argument has a significant flaw: the "unregulated pharmaceutical industry" you reference is actually quite regulated. My company can put a GRAS compound like turmeric in

CBP, maybe not - there’s a lot more leeway for things that happen at the border, for better or worse. But in general US law sets a high bar for claims of incitement. Your hypothetical statement would certainly be considered protected speech

This leans towards my belief that the US is fundamentally fighting last century's war against adversaries that have _massively_ evolved. Look at the Ukranians: they are currently fielding an entire suite of counter-drone tech: fast pur

Your first option comes with the major caveat that each interceptor you fire comes from a limited stockpile whose replacement rate[0] today isn't sufficient for even going 1:1, let alone accepting that multiple interceptors are require

Two more sobering axes to introduce: cost and manufacturing capability. Numbers are hard to find for obvious security reasons, but using the numbers most optimistic to the defender[0] suggests an adversary using a Fatah type hypersonic is s

A friend of mine interested in model rocketry demoed a sun tracking model rocket at a state convention. Pretty soon after, he had a chat he described as "terrifying but friendly" with "a few dudes in windbreakers" who w

Sending a check via mail is infrequently done, but it happens. I just paid my annual property taxes that way. My options were: * mailing a check * paying via credit card over the phone for a hefty surcharge * cash in person In my case, I us

“Balancing a checking account” in American vernacular is typically used to mean reconciling the transactions your bank has posted to the spend you’ve tracked. This used to be more important when you wrote paper checks and received a monthly

Of important note, none of that requires any modification to the pager. Paging protocols are ancient and unencrypted: a little SDR stick and you can run your own sigint on your local pager network.

Airlines are already banning pagers and walkie talkies. I wonder how many duds are currently being processed by Hezbollah right now. (0): https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/07/world/middleeast/emirates.

Technically speaking that would be much harder: pagers don’t have microphones, and most don’t transmit - and those that do send very small messages. You’d have to add significant new capabilities to pull off surveillance, which would incre

I’ve had a Blitzortung Blue sitting in a box just waiting to be soldered up - maybe this post kicks me into finally believing in my soldering iron skills and doing it.

Agreed entirely. My grandfather’s 5513 desk diver was passed down to me. It had scuffs and scratches and the lume had long since stopped glowing and turned to a mustard color. And while I never planned to have any of that changed because I

One important note with mpox is that there are two distinct lineages of the virus at play: the outbreak in the US in 2022 was clade IIb, which seems to be difficult to spread - hence the “close physical contact” attribution. It also had a l

Probably not enforceable != enforceable. Are you worth suing or does everyone sign? Are your state laws and jurisprudence going to back you up? If you are ever going to sign an employee agreement that binds you, consult with an employment

First, invoke. Then one of two things will happen. The happy path is that the police can’t sustain an arrest, and you didn’t help them by talking. You’ll be released, and you can - and absolutely should - look for a lawyer on your own time.

No! In the US, case law has ended up more protective of people who invoke their right to an attorney than those who merely invoke their right to remain silent. In certain cases the police can restart interrogations after invocation of a r
