I thought of printing some of those in a t-shirt but someone would probably see it as branding for an extra-terrestrial donut shop.

The kind that would serve coffee in a Klein bottle.
Just lasagna pics, birthday cakes, kittens, golden retrievers, baby goats, maybe an artsy photo of a leaf with #blessed.
Everything I can do so that an AI running immigration background checks might match my kids to the profile of a low threat, emotionally well-regulated, consumer-minded citizen material.
Absolutely no pictures of Winnie the Pooh to keep China travel option open too.
I welcome any tips. Someone here must have cracked the code to be completely unremarkable and "wholesome" to governments.
Smalltalk, Haskell, and Lisp
...walk into a bar.
Smalltalk: “Bartender, please send an instance of Martini to me - selector withOlive: set to true.”
Haskell: “I’ll take beer >>= chill, but only if it’s defined for all inputs and returns IO ().”
Lisp: “(drink ’(ale (temperature cold))) .”
The bartender mutters, “Great ... an object, a functor, and a list.”
Then a janitor walks by sweeping the closures that they left.
It implements voxels via <input type="radio" />.
Each of the faces of each voxel is configured via <label>s, one for each face having a different CSS class.
There is a voxel for each type of block (dirt, grass, stone, etc) and only one is activated at a time.
The <input>s are arranged in a 9x9 grid 10 blocks tall times the number of different types of blocks (about 6500 total).
All that is enclosed with <div>s with CSS classes that respond to the camera navigation (look up/down, move up/down, forward/back, clockwise/counter)
That is brilliant!

For every software change on each module, they have to go to a supplier to ask because of IP rights.
That is why Ford is/was trying to build a new generation of modules with in-house software which they never wrote before.

Startups ideally should compete on merit, not on whether they are eventually allowed access to Google’s platforms or get acquired. Startups can still exit via IPO, PE acquisition, cross-industry buyers or M&A.
From this POV, Google’s control over the adtech stack may be seen as gatekeeping digital advertising, which many YC companies rely on.
It feels like God wants me to expose my ignorance/inability in public first and only then reward my "humility" with a solution directly in my brain.
I ended up buying an Acer because I had an Acer tablet that stopped working after the warranty expired and they fixed it free of charge.
