  • The Trump administration has barred Iranian diplomats based in or visiting New York from shopping at wholesale club stores like Costco and purchasing luxury goods in the United States without specific permission from the State Department.

    In notices to be published this week in the Federal Register, the department’s Office of Foreign Missions determined that diplomatic memberships in wholesale club stores as well as diplomats’ ability to buy items such as watches, furs, jewelry, handbags, wallets, perfumes, tobacco, alcohol and cars are a “benefit” requiring U.S. government approval.

    Oh yeah this is incredibly stupid.

    The loopholes are easy to find and this screams like the US just wants a bribe.

    I had the luxury of seeing incredibly smart engineers speak about their new innovations for web development.

    I then got to watch them get hired by Google and paid extremely well to release those innovations, with the support of a bunch of other brilliant people, often under a open-source label.

    I then get to see people go, “Google Bad!” About those features, and because it was paid for by Google, they don’t even want to touch it.
