  • It matters a lot whether she is a US citizen or not.

    If she’s a citizen, then she can shut up / lawyer up. She has a fifth amendment right to not divulge a phone or computer password, code, pin, or whatever. CBP can detain her for up to several hours, but at the end they have to either charge her or release her into the country.

    If she’s not a citizen, then things are a lot tougher. She still has constitutional rights, including the fifth amendment. But CBP has a lot of leverage, because they can rule her inadmissable. Once that happens once, then it can become really hard to get readmitted later, because this “strike” is on your record.

    The main thing that is tripping up green cats holders at the border currently is old criminal records. That DUI or marijuana or shoplifting charge or conviction from 20 years ago is often not enough dirt to get an LPR deported, but it is enough dirt to deny readmission if they happen to leave voluntarily.


  • This chart is easier to understand if you make the following substitutions:

    • Toy Lang --> high level language (except brainfuck really is a low level toy language)
    • System Lang --> low level language
    • Obsolete Lang --> old programming language, regardless of obsolescence status
    • Nu Lang --> newer programming language

    After understanding this construction, I fail to find any humor in this.

    Why is ECMAScript here and not JavaScript?

    Among other things, “JavaScript” is a trademark of Oracle.
