Readit News12 years on, and a lot of Postgres-based services built since the OP site first went live, I now actually may recommend MongoDB as the sensible option...

Need to add (2013) to the title of this article
The article is actually good. The title is a little click-baity even if that is actually what it covers. It is mostly about tweaking the AI options which is actually helpful as I don't mind some of the new features.

The hack is immersion. Move to a country where the language is spoken, and have a girlfriend/boyfriend native in the language whom you move in with.
That's it.
It is so often dismissed how important the second part is. Many think that just moving to a country is enough, and you will pick up the language. Maybe the basics, but not if you don't speak and think it 24/7, however uncomfortable that is at the start.
You see this clearly with the people who move with their family vs the single person. The family person will speak English or whatever their native language is at home every day, will never really speak fluently, whilst the single guy/girl will often become fluent very fast.
Though this also depends on who their new friends are, so if they only hang out with people from their home country or just groups of international friends who all speak English with each other, then that learning journey will take a lot longer.
This is hard, though. But when I moved to the UK I decided not to try to find the student groups from my home country, and mostly had English only friends and I got an local English accent super quickly. On the other side years later when my GF and me moved back to Norway for a few years she struggled to get non-international friends and didn't loose the accent.
"creating panic among many - particularly Indian passengers - who even chose to leave the aircraft"
Are they are getting off the aircraft because they believe the "fee" will be required of their employment imminently, and that their employer will not pay it, and this will lead to their visa getting cancelled before they could return to the United States?
It seems for the moment they will only check for this new fee on entry at the borders. If the fee has been not paid entry will be denied from tonight.
Hence, if you stay in the country nothing will change. And they can wait until this gets played out in the courts, media, congress etc.

A lot of great YouTube videos on personal hydro setups on small sized creeks. Even just a few hundred watts running 24/7/365 is an incredible resource.
Reminds me of this great house/greenhouse in Norway with a small "power station" in the stream outside. https://youtu.be/irp_HPzfxbQ?si=ZR3PAXvUyjsSSZx5&t=1658
