If people using some tool made my job harder id be vocally against it during off hours. But lets be real any powerful group interested in tracking people would just be working with or running vpn companies. Or perhaps providing free vpn. Either way I think its all moot as for tracking you have to question who you do and do not want to be tracked by and for other purposes vpn works just fine

Seems like the guys covering his ass. Ive had visas denied in japan over small errors. I dont use visa lawyers anymore and no longer have this issue.

Might ofc also be that the immigration officers got tired of working till 10pm every day

When you yawn inner ear pressure equalizes with outside pressure. Most people will hear something when their eardrums get stretched from pressure differences

This should also be true for TL lights. Which kinda contradicts common sense seeing that those are used all over the place in offices, kitchens, and hospitals, makes me think this paper is bogus.

Here is the study that came to mind: https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(17)...

However as the above study iirc doesn't directly state that these patterns cause discomfort and doesn't contain any examples I suggest reading chapter 10 "Photosensitive Epilepsy and Visual Discomfort" of "hierarchies in neurology (1989)" on page 70-71 which proposes this AND contains an example you can look at yourself.

there are a lot of papers on this (some made by inducing seizures in people under lab conditions). The most seizure causing things you could display are simply bars or a grid with moving details, sizes, or alternating in colors.

Basically if it gives you a headache to stare at or just has this sucky attention grabbing feel to it when you look at it its likely to cause seizures. I CBA to dig up the papers on this but there are a bunch if you want to really get into this.

This is one of those things that doesnt matter most of the time but when it matters it really matters.

You see this used even as diagnostic criteria yet when people attribute malice to their computer or car its considered normal. To me this is just normal anthropomorphization and the confusion regarding emotions in autism. I honestly am convinced there is nothing but communication going wrong here

Yea, As far as im aware we have no true idea of the limits of human memory. Either way its amazing that the hippocampus can encode sequences of neurons firing somewhere and replay them later.
