Local number was required to receive SMS. Foreign numbers were not supported. I only had foreign data SIM.

> spontaneous altruism

> The cooperating gamblers

This article mistakes "altruism" with "cooperation". With cooperation there are no free gifts, everything comes with strings attached. And defection and breaking rules is punished!

Greece

Here we have precise stats broken down by race, age, drug addiction, mental illness, gender identity... This is not going to backfire at all...

During lockdowns my country required phone, to get permit to leave house. If I followed rules, I would not be able to buy food, and would starve to death!

EU has like 50 markets, 300 carriers and anybody can import anything from enywhere.

> are operating very conservatively right now

If other drivers would not yield to robocar, it may get stuck on intersection forever. Robocars have no assertiveness to push themselves into traffic.

No I can't. Shop advertises something like Samsung Galaxy S10 4G Pink. Exact batch numbers are simply not advertised. Only way to check is to open box, start the phone and check About Screen.

I had similar problem with cheap Lenovo. Chinese models were sold in EU, but would not support all local 4G frequencies. But doing this bait&switch with flagship phone is unacceptable!!

I had Samsung phone with exynos, that thing barely lasts one day on battery. My low-end MotoG can take three days...

In EU Samsung has really bad reputation for putting exynos into high-end Galaxy phones in Europe. There is no way to check before buying, and your phone may last 30% less on battery. It was pretty well documented!

Main reason I will never buy Samsung phone again!

Google Maps has pretty good support for offline maps. Select rectangular area, download, it expires after year. I am in Europe, maybe you have different copyright on data?

Fair point, I got the meaning wrong.

My case is more about motivating smart people to come into US. Current system is broken.

Immigration system is byzantine and unpredictable. Person can even get kicked out with very short notice. And frankly salary in US quite often does not even cover expenses (rent, insurances, taxes...).

Semiconductor engineer from Taiwan has options in mainland China, Singapore, UAE... If you count expenses (living, travel and legal), cultural values, taxes... This engineer may actually make more money outside of US!

> If they got things wrong, Scott warned that “World War III could begin,”

CIA has great tradition with taking this sort of risks. But over decades they got way more reckless, and way less smart!!

> U.S. government as being a net cost to the U.S. economy rather than a net benefit.

How about you allow anyone who manages to get a job with decent salary? Let's say $250000 year?! Residential permit obviously includes family. Very fair, very transparent and easy to implement.

This "dynamic scoring" is unfair, untransparent, and will just lead to mistreatment of foreign workers by large companies!

This debuging and hacking kind of remind me of Windows, and dealing with various versions of drivers, service packs, and so on.

Normal sane Linux user would just force resolution into bootloader, and create global xorg.conf. There are like 10 far easier ways to solve this problem.
