Actually it was Craigslist. Back before the internet, the single biggest pot of newspaper revenue was classified ads.

But you're much more vulnerable if you bring data with you. The first level of protection is making a backup, formatting your devices as new, and restoring once you're on US soil. Better yet is not bringing devices at all. But certainly don't bring secrets with you: bank records, medical records, and military secrets should never be carried with you through customs.

If there's something else they're interested in, don't carry it over the border.

And it's under active revision and improvement. There are great new things to learn every few years.

Or that a foreign nation that didn't accept the patents becomes the only center of innovation and the nation that paid for it becomes a backwater.

One or both of those happened with steam engines, sewing machines, and aeroplanes. Humanity was not better off.

It was narrowly averted in photography, automobiles, and computer software by governments invalidating the pioneer patents in the field for the benefit of mankind.

Then he'll have a unanimous ruling in his favor in the new circuit.

And the present system means that Americans are almost entirely blocked from pursuing careers in science by the awful economic prospects. Foreigners that come here can always get good appointments back home that will support a family if they can't get tenured in the USA. Americans would be out of work with zero savings and mediocre prospects at 40.

If you think Americans have something valuable to contribute to the world of science beyond than our cash support, then you can't support the level of mass foreign migration into science schools and professions.

It's a scam.

The Ph.D. is the real graduate degree in US schools. If you get a MS, people who know the system expect that you flunked out in quals (it's the parting gift for those that couldn't handle the work). Terminal MS degrees at serious schools are just outright selling prestige to the naïve.

A MS from MIT or Stanfurd is much, much less prestigious than a BS degree from the same school and requires less academic rigor.

Leaves all the comments intact, though.

But there was some concern during design about tsunami. It's important not to overtop even in a brief event like that.

Github, like SSH, uses an asymmetric authentication scheme. They even publish everyone's public keys. It's much more secure than passwords.

I pick 1950s Bengala-Desh because you didn't have to risk your kids lives from flooding because of overpopulation and DDT was just ending the malaria problem (some came back after the ban).

Lots of 1950s third world countries are first world today, like Mexico or Korea. In that case, I'd pick today over 1950s.

There are lots of benefits to growth in per capita income. There are no benefits to growth in GDP from population increase while GDP per capita stagnates.

But then Malthus lived 100 years before rubber condoms were invented.

The people who said that third world countries needed to cut birthrates before they could get richer turned out to be right everywhere.

The people that said Bengala-Desh would get to be like Bengala-Desh were right. As were the people who predicted overcrowding and exodus from the Sahel.

It's not just for multiple subdomains like sub1.example.com and sub2.exmaple.com. You can have any unrelated domains you want on the cert.

You don't need multiple IPs and you don't even need SNI with its legacy client compatibility problems (now mostly well past). Just get a certificate that covers all the domains you use.

There's no reason at all to suffer with the setup and security and resource problems of SNI or multiple IPs outside extreme scenarios.

You'd have to actually change the rules and overcome the NIMBYs. Some problems can't be solved with cash.

And it applies to urban rail where the right of way is entirely public just as much as high speed.

That's because Boston and NYC are both navigable without a car. Only one side of the SF-LA link can claim to be close to that ideal.

But the time and hassle of airport parking and security and delays might be able to keep a 3.5 hour train ride viable even in CA. That would require a train system that allowed passengers to step through a quick scanner with no line and onto the train without queueing or carefully organized boarding. Lots of train systems used to do that in the USA but the bureaucrats don't like passengers freely walking around platforms by heavy machinery or directing themselves or quick predictable security procedures. Acela has been abandoning efficient and established traditional practices to copy instead the airports. How long are they going to stand for a train system that isn't as awful as airport security and boarding?

Since politicians can't risk being blamed for trouble, we have no ability to control the bureaucrats and every high speed transportation system will inevitably get to be as bad as airports.

If rail could be built at the same costs as in France or Japan (or even, optimistically, Spain or Korea), to wit, $20-30MMM, you could justify it just for saving the cost of airport expansion. But at $80-120MMM it's lunacy to proceed.

You could probably force a random criminal trial into the CAFC with a little creativity. It's really easy to go to CAFC if you want to. And if you're abusing intellectual property law, you really want to because they're corrupt like a Venezuelan payday loan used car dealer.
