Off topic, but you really think there arnt automatic turrets, seems very feasible today, especially in a situation like a sewer where you really dont have to worry about shooting the wrong (moving) thing.

We had automatic turrets decades ago, so the "AI" part was just me trying to be funny.

Doesn't some other countries already do this? I was asked about my LinkedIn for a work visa in Canada.

Canada is very aggressive about searching for "hate speech" at the border. This includes mandating that you turn over your phone and searching through your texts, emails and any linked accounts for keywords. This is personal experience.

I saw this on their border security reality TV show, but neither I, nor anyone I know, has ever had their phone searched visiting Canada. I've been curious how often they do it. What were your circumstances?

If that show is to be believed, they aren't looking for hate speech. They are looking for the person who says they are just visiting, and then has all kinds of text messages about when they start their new job, or how they are looking forward to moving there.

This was driving across the border for an extended vacation. I'm not going to post every detail, but I had a vague itinerary and I completely understand why we got extra questions. However, I hadn't done anything suspicious at all. It is a question of rights, and as a non Canadian citizen, you have no rights other than to decide not to go to Canada anymore. They were looking for evidence of drug smuggling, proof that I could financially afford to take care of myself if something went wrong, and "hate speech". That is what the officer said. You may find this reasonable, but how thoroughly they search your phone is entirely up to the officer at the border, and they have every ability to just image your phone.

I've crossed the US/Canadian border probably a dozen times in the last 3 years and have never been asked about this, or asked to see my phone. The Canadians seemed much more concerned about guns and drugs/alcohol. It was actually worse coming back into the US than getting into Canada (I am a US citizen with passport for comparison purposes).

I'll say that wasn't my experience, it was just about trying to verify my position, but maybe they decided to look into other stuff, they certainly didnt tell me or take my phone.

How do we know what they are searching for?

The drug related searches were in my search history. The officer told me he was searching for drugs and hate speech.

Does the UK or any EU countries do any of this?

Most of the EU does not, not even close. No phone searches, no social accounts, no invasive questions on forms or aggressive interrogations.

That's the norm - for known criminals it's different.

Can you restate that? I'm not sure what you're saying tbh. You want intraday news on bonds or some other security?

I think they're saying it won't affect whether they want to buy a tesla or not.

It should affect buying decisions. What would a Tesla owner do if their car broke down and the company did not exist anymore? It's not like you can just go to an auto parts store or an ordinary mechanic.

Ask any Daewoo owner.

It seems like used cars are significantly inflated in price these days - there don't seem to be many Daewoos left any more, but I just checked and people are selling 17 year old examples with 100K+ miles for $2-3K.

Small correction, but generally someone like that exercises their options and sells them for profit, keeping their shares that they've had since whenever. In this case, he exercised the options, sold those shares, and then lowered the amount of shares he had beyond that to the absolute minimum (250k).

Also from the first link:

Popular Physical Delivery futures contracts include (but are not limited to) CME Currencies (Euro, JPY, & GPB), CBOT Treasuries (2 yr, 5yr, 10 yr, & 30 yr), NYMEX Energies (Crude Oil, Natural Gas, RBOB Gasoline, & Heating Oil), CME Live Cattle, CBOT Grains (Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, Soybean Meal, Soybean Oil, Rice, and Oats), COMEX Metals (Gold, Silver, & Copper), and ICE Softs (Sugar, Cotton, Cocoa, Coffee and OJ).

There are plenty of physical delivery futures still in existence.

It also makes it hard for people like me who are far above the average height to even fit in a seat. If I'm forced to travel for work, I have to either be very uncomfortable or pay out of my pocket because the company doesn't want to pay for first class. My knees dig into that little metal rod the seat back pouches have or they go into the armrest in front of me, it's absurd how small cabins are now.

So why should we make all seats bigger and all flights more expensive?

Wow, not the same thing at all as the airline disclosing it up front. I should not have to go looking at third party sites for information like that.

Not to speak to the other coins, but isn't BTC at all time highs?

It did touch 3k recently so it's a bit bellow all time highs, somewhere around 2.5k. But it is higher than entire last year for example.

Good point. Of course, again, we run into the practical difference between physical zoning restrictions and internet "zoning" restrictions.

The real world, being equipped with a distance metric, has this messy problem where you are sometimes forced to be close to other people. I feel like this gives us (collectively) a bit of license to make demands of how nearby people use their physical property. On the other hand, there's no distance metric on the internet, and I'm not (in any sense) forced to live next to the winn-Dixie website.

Specifically the decision in this case was that Winn-Dixie's website is heavily-integrated enough into their physical store locations enough that it's covered by the ADA.

He was like essential hip college freshman reading, which often comes with being hated for being popular, weird, abstract, etc. I havn't actually read the book, but I've certainly heard about it.
