Simple: At the exit point, passport control records your mileage. When you return, they record it again. Any travels outside the country don't get counted.

But as others have said, it's a really tiny edge case, probably not worth worrying about.

I know the UK is not part of the EU, but I was replying to someone who mentioned the UK.

Honestly, I would be happy to have some tech banned in my country, especially if it has proven to be a large net negative. I'm looking at Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Generative AI, etc...

I don't live in the UK, but if you want to ban everyone who lives in the UK from accessing your startup... you do you. Generally speaking, reducing one's potential customer base is not considered sound business strategy.

I've bought stuff fairly recently from the Canadian site (newegg.ca) and have been satisfied with it. Certainly won't buy anything else if they put this AI/Paypal crap on their Canadian site.

Unfortunately, it's probably a result of the extreme litigiousness of the US. Even obliquely admitting that maybe possibly hypothetically there's a sliver of a chance OpenAI might have a nanoparticle of blame here is considered way too risky.

OpenAI's response just drips with compassion, no?

The minimum age should be set at 350 years.

You can't rely on a huge and unreliable trade partner with interests that might not align with yours. That's the new reality, sadly. And the world will be poorer for the pigheaded (if not bloodthirsty) pursuit of power and influence on the part of the USA, China and Russia.

29 months? That's atrocious.

I had my previous phone for 7 years (Motorola G5 Plus.) It was still working fine, but I was forced to replace it because the cellular network here was upgraded and the phone was no longer compatible. I was extremely annoyed.

I'm hoping my current phone will last at least 7 years. I still have the Moto G5 Plus and put PostmarketOS on it, but it's really more a curiosity than a useful device now.

AI-generated hadiths?

Because AI (by which I mean the generative AI / LLMs that the AI bros are pushing, not the actually useful low-key machine-learning algorithms) is a carnival sideshow. It's cool for about a minute and then proves itself to be trash.

It's like how ELIZA was fun for about 30 seconds until you realized how dumb it actually was.

This is why governments need to demand the full source code for all computers in any vehicles they buy, along with a build environment that can demonstrably build a working version of the object code from source, and the ability to install the object code themselves.

Anything less is utterly unacceptable from a national security point of view.

This is bullshit dogwhistle politics, trying to blame American stupidity on illegal immigrants. Cope harder, MAGAt.

Most immigrants (legal or not) want the best for themselves and their kids and don't buy into nutter antivaxxer conspiracies. It's just that there's a decent chance that if they try to do the right thing and get their kids vaccinated, ICE agents will kidnap them, throw them in appalling conditions in a detention center, and then kick them out of the country. Basically, the USA is incentivizing the incubation of diseases through the policies of its gestapo^W ICE agents.

I'm talking about Canada. We don't discourage immigrants (legal or otherwise) from getting immunizations by threatening them with kidnapping, detention and expulsion if they simply are trying to do the right thing. Maybe the USA could learn something?

All well and good, except the measles outbreaks in Canada have for the most part been in rural communities where very few immigrants settle.

And also, there's no evidence that immigrants are not immunized. Immigrants are not allowed into Canada unless they have proof of immunization (source: I'm an immigrant to Canada and had to go through the process.)

Refugees are a different story, but I'd hope (and assume) that the government would give them their shots soon after they are let into Canada.
