It appears there is a bug with it on Firefox. The game loads with a word and what looks like five possible answers, but after a few seconds the screen goes blank.
Self-hosted VPNs cleanly solve the port access problem using free software. As a bonus, there's generally minimal added latency because it's just another encrypted direct TCP connection.
Seems but isn't due to the way taxation/jurisdiction/licensure works. Where you are doing your work from and where the benefactor of that work are make a big difference. Example: Doctors can't telehealth over State lines. Lawyers likewise. Employers aren't supposed to allow migrant workers to work from across state lines from their address of record.
A great deal of draconian control is actually implemented through employment and licensure law, and as with most things in real life, come bundled with a surprising amount of detail. Part of why I've become particularly dissatisfied with the U.S. as of late, as so much of it is predicated on actually keeping you locked into one geographical location.

Most of the digital nomad hubs have the same laws with regards to worker protections and tax residency; they're just too poor to enforce them. The same is true of the workers themselves. In the 2010s I remember seeing a lot of guys bragging about having virtual assistants in the Philippines. This was probably illegal on both sides of the transaction the way that they had it set up, the issue is that the people working these jobs do not have the resources to pursue a case against a US-based employer; that's assuming they have the knowledge and motivation necessary to sue the employer in the first place. I'm not as libertarian as I once was, but these kinds of arrangements are a no-brainer; it's all of the upside of the free movement of labor with none of the downside of that labor being physically relocated.
Trump is using century-old misinformation about tariffs to raise tax revenue to pay for tax cuts on the wealthy. In reality, it's an added tax on all spending that accelerates inflation.
Tariffs are theoretically supposed to encourage domestic production, but rely on the false premise that all raw and intermediate materials can be sourced domestically at a cost below the import price. That has generally proven to not work unless tariffs are in the hundreds of percent. But at that level, import taxes tend to poison entire sectors due to supply lag instead of drive domestic economies.
It's a bit difficult to nail down direct citations for what is basic knowledge of how tariffs work in reality. It's covered in AP/college macroecon and U.S. history classes.
Wikipedia's articles on Smoot–Hawley and the Tariff of Abominations both have sections on their effects.
In short, we'll see a brief rise in the domestic economy, then a sharp recession. One of the reasons SE Asia, BRICS, and the EU have been so active to disconnect themselves from the U.S. is they don't want to get caught up in the U.S. economic failure like they did in the 1930s.
3.5) rescinded/paused [30-61) days. There will be some bluster, and then announcements with the large trading partners like Japan, South Korea, etc., that some new deals have been struck.
The ones in food are often oxygen absorbers instead of dessicants. They contain iron "sand" that is, unfortunately, not reusable. They're usually very flat and have a "do not microwave" warning on them in addition to "do not eat".
(This is not to say dessicant packets aren't used in food, just that not all of those packets are dessicants)
Silica packets are definitely used in foods that need to be kept super-dry, like seaweed or nuts -- absorbing residual moisture that was in the product during packaging.
I've never heard of an oxygen absorber used in food. A lot of snacks and things (e.g. all potato chips) in airtight containers are packaged in nitrogen so there's no oxygen in the first place.
Are they for small-scale food production that can't use nitrogen? I've never encountered them in my life.
This seems a very odd outcome. After all the supposed changes post-9/11, I would think an international flight crew would need to be known to the destination and have entry clearance just to operate the flight.
Of h.264, h.265, vp8, vp9, and av1, h.264 is the only codec with consistent support across all of chat/messaging clients, browsers, smart TVs/phones, tablets, and streaming devices. The population of active, supported devices and software is much larger and much older than people realize. As such, it remains the only viable video codec if you don't want to be forced to provide multiple encodings.
