I mean, you hear about the people who do something. You don't hear about the ones who don't.

EDIT: Also, hermit crab smuggling and the CIA? What?

This gift is more for his dad than him

I'd get him something aimed at three-year-olds, and just get his dad a puzzle box:

Apparently so.

I would be very surprised if he paid anything from his own pocket for it.

The article says that he's trying to get donations for a larger one, so he definitely isn't getting government funds for that.

I mean, it's a desk paperweight. He's wealthy. This is not a ton of money.

I'm guessing that he had it done himself and that he owns it and isn't gonna leave it behind.

The de minimis exception probably should go away, Trump or no. The only argument I can really see for keeping it would be that getting rid of it adds to transaction cost, but aside from that, it just doesn't make sense to impose tariffs on people importing in bulk but exclude people importing small quantities.

If

and I don't know if this is actually the case for this guy

your business model fundamentally depending on leveraging being exempt from paying tariffs when a number of competitors had to pay them...I mean, you were on pretty dangerously thin ice to begin with.

That's not very much information.

Are you talking about a commercial service? A free one (well, aside from mining your data)? Software that you run on local hardware?

You have the NSFW flag set on this post, but the post itself contains no NSFW content. Are you wanting something that can generate NSFW content?

I'd think that they already have that due to the TSA.

There could be only one Rusty Shackleford.

They don’t have a replica of your brain, if that’s what you are asking.

Okay. In that case, I think that I'd probably use that, since there will definitely be information that I could show other people that only I know. Passwords, past private memories with people I know, that sort of thing. Maybe if one is optimistic, my doppleganger could guess or somehow obtain one or two, but if we do a number of these, I should be able to pass many more of these than my doppleganger.

Hmm. I'm not entirely clear here...are you saying the answer to both of the two questions is "no"? I mean, you didn't explicitly say that the doppleganger has the same knowledge or the same possessions, but you also didn't explicitly say that they didn't.

• Does my doppelganger have the same knowledge I have, or just the same outward physical characteristics?

• Does my doppelganger possess the same physical objects I do, like an identical copy of a cell phone, say?
