The fine print is that the IRS and US military are not happy about people renouncing citizenship expressly for the purpose of dodging their current tax bill or avoiding the draft, for obvious reasons.

If neither of those applies to you (that is, there wasn’t a military draft, and you properly paid your taxes including a possibly hefty final “exit tax” bill to expatriate yourself), then after renouncing your citizenship, the IRS or Selective Service isn’t going to hunt you down later.

The people the IRS goes after are rich people who didn’t pay all their past taxes or otherwise failed to comply, and then renounce their citizenship and skip town.

I'm not convinced that believing in something false is always bad. For example, there's a concept in psychology called an "internal locus of control", which basically means believing that you have control over aspects of your life. It turns out that having an internal locus of control is very negatively correlated with depression, so it might be that holding these beliefs actually help people's mental states. Another example would be people turning to religious beliefs to cope with tragedy.

Anyways, I'd like to believe that the belief isn't false. I do believe we do exert some substantial control over our own destinies.
Urgh. At least in my case, when I set an alarm, I already know what time I want and really don't benefit from any kind of visualization - so just give me a keypad and let me tap in the digits, something everything from the phone app to my microwave has trained me to do quickly, rather than confusing me with a one-of-a-kind UI element.

Luckily, I don't have to care because I just use Siri to set and manage alarms.

The standard library is different to the language itself: the language certainly doesn't disallow allocators/OOM handling, it's just the design of std. Furthermore, the standard library is layered: there's `std` with various OS-required routines (IO, etc.) and `core` that is the core stuff that doesn't require any of that. Operating systems/embedded applications can generally use `core`. However, even that is better than C/C++, where one usually has a from-scratch "standard" library (which is possible to do with Rust too): not being able to use the compiler-bundled `std` doesn't seem like a point against Rust.

Many user-space applications don't do heavy network work, which is where concurrent IO is most necessary. E.g. games or a scientific simulation, even web-browsers don't need of concurrent IO (they're not trying to juggle thousands of connections).

Are any Apple execs under investigation? They certainly have loads of communication in and out of china, own lots of property in china, send money to chinese businesses daily and communicate directly with countless government officials. If suspects are selected based on "significant correspondence with China" then lots of people at big tech companies should be under constant surveillance.

Good to see BOINC floating by on HN today. I've recently been dusting off some old Mac minis that run Leopard or Snow Leopard (but no newer OS versions), and was pleasantly surprised that older BOINC versions still function!

Probably because it barely goes over 20 bits. 20.09ish

If you want to be cheeky you can argue that "hidden assumptions going from a 16 bit wide character set to a 20 bit wide character set" is still correct, because those hidden assumptions are part of UTF-16, and UTF-16 uses exactly 20 bits to express the astral planes, encoding them in a different way from the BMP.
From my perspective, the three distinguishing features of Clojure from other languages/Lisps in general are:

1. It's a lisp, which means homoiconic, i.e. build software just like Lego (different from non-lisps)

2. Immutability and purity in the core library + sane, managed concurrency via atoms, refs, core.async, i.e. write serious multithreaded code without putting your hair on fire; helps on the front-end via ClojureScript as well (different from most other Lisps)

3. The JVM, which means very good performance in the general case + build once, run everyone + a lot of libraries

You can use the recur special form to enforce recursion from the tail position in Clojure.
You don't think what's an inapt analogy? Wait, your Ferrari analogy that you made in the same post?

And it is indeed a great analogy because it shows how wrong you are -- having advanced cars that can rapidly accelerate to freeway speeds be affordable is a very desirable thing, and the fact that a Honda Civic of today is a vastly superior automobile to a Ferrari of the past (or better yet, a Volvo of the past) is a triumph of modernity. You think what, cars are too good?

Likewise, the fact that many people of today find that the best way to live involves throwing years of their lives away on a long commute is a human tragedy, and thinking that it's not desirable for this to be fixed is equally brain-damaged as thinking people shouldn't have good cars.

Could be, and for more than one reason. Ray Bradbury himself had trouble convincing literary studies types (among others) that his book was about what he wrote it about. (He wrote a more subtle Idiocracy, but people read a more subtle 1984.)
This one time at the library, I picked up a Frost anthology with commentary and skimmed it for about 30 minutes. The main thrust I took away from the author's commentary was that Frost was notorious for his sense of sarcasm. It was sort of his shtick. But he was so subtle about it, he often lamented that nobody recognized his genius.

I had an English professor who also held a congruent opinion of Frost. He said that during Frost's own lifetime, academics and plebs alike heralded him as this wise, folksy, american farmer. They adored him. Then a few decades after he died, academia reread Frost's poems and said "Holy cow, these are actually pretty depressing."

Some people (including someone who worked on the CL standard) opined Scheme is not a Lisp: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.lisp/Bj8Hx...

In any discussion involving Common Lisp, there will be the opinion that "Clojure is not a Lisp" without (in my view) providing sufficient context for this clearly confusing statement.

(FWIW, I call Clojure a Lisp. It is clearly in the Lisp tradition, not to mention more technical things like: code-is-data, serious REPL, accurate numbers like 10.00000000000000001M. I don't think "Lisp" should be reserved for mainly incremental improvements on an old movement.)

Fair. There have been, and always will be lisps that can be copy pasted between each other. Just as you can get some implementations of programs in some assemblies that work between assemblies.

That does not say anything about whether or not a language is an assembly. Just as this says nothing about whether a language is a lisp.
The only benefit I can think of is prevention of [accidental?] modification of `state` within your selectPropsFromState functions or within rendering code itself. Which is something you should never, ever do anyway, and the mistake should be quite obvious given redux's suggested structure. Given ImmutableJS also has a performance overhead in ES5, I'd definitely agree with you.

Other people have commented on the size of the lawyer / court costs vs plaintiff's award, but the thing that concerns me is the limited scope of the judgment. Since it was brought in WA, the issue of backers outside the state aren't of any concern to those involved, but of course they were equally wronged.

The defendant here probably doesn't have $50k, let alone $2.5mm (if suits in all 50 states are brought and result in identical verdicts).

If any money is actually paid, it will likely go towards a partial payment of the amount owed to the WA case, and then the defendant will be bankrupt. No one from any other state will receive anything. Meanwhile, if the matter had been handled differently, more of the backers could have received some partial refund.

I think this is a situation that Kickstarter could have improved, if they participated in projects post-funding. Binding arbitration between parties, controlling payments based on milestones, and so on.

The biggest reason we adopted Immutable.js is that it allows us to use PureRenderMixin (or, to make some situations even simpler, https://github.com/jurassix/react-immutable-render-mixin ) for all our components. This gives a great performance boost, without having to think how to design a specific shouldComponentUpdate for each expensive component.

This is especially important with Redux if you connect your store to one controller-view which then passes the props down to a big tree of components (which should be the standard way to do things with both Flux and Redux).
A family is a social construct. It's about sharing, communicating, learning, building, inheritance.

Emacs Lisp is directly in the tradition of McCarthy's Lisp. It shares names, concepts, literature, even code.

Logo, Dylan, ML, Clojure don't. They were derived or inspired by Lisp, but they are now they own language family...

Well, I recently launched my paperback book, and I sold 500 copies in two weeks from my page alone, and I'm going on the second print run already. That's not a lot, but it covers my cost, and then more. I have a special situation (small loyal following) that might just tilt profitability in my favor.

I have female friends who've expressed interest in shooting with me ($500), and I've already had several offers at $250 for the filmographers. Add some miscellaneous here and there, and let's call the expenditure $1,000.

I can sell it for $10 pay-per-view/downloadable, maybe $12 for Full HD version. I don't think it's impossible to cover my cost given the strength of my following.

As for legality, I've acted before twice for studios, and I had the opportunity to see how they do things. It's not the best guarantee, but I'll definitely seek a lawyer's advice when the time comes. Thanks for that heads-up.
This is a terrible study.

Firstly, it relies on two different sources of information about people's hobbies: detailed biographies for Nobel laureates and something called the Sigma Xi society for the general scientific population. I'm not sure what this society is or how much information it has on its members' hobbies, but I envisage some kind of form that invites you to name your hobbies. You would expect perhaps not the same level of detail as you'd get from a biography or obituary.

The second problem is taking members of the Sigma Xi society as representative of the scientific population at large.

> The period of perhaps greatest economic growth in the West, the 1950s and 60s, was the period of greatest government regulation and direct involvement in economies.

What calculation leads you to conclude there was more regulation in the 1950s and 1960s than today? My impression is that "deregulation" in practice largely amounted to at best a decline in the rate of increase in federal regulations, not an overall decrease in total regulation. Today there are vastly more federal rules and regulations and also substantially more government employees as a percentage of total employment than there was in the 1970s.

Um, here's a plot of one proxy for new regulations - the size of the federal register in pages:

http://politicalcalculations.blogspot.com/2012/07/the-regula...

There were several high-profile cases of actual deregulation (eg, regulations related to trucking and airline fares), but it amounted to pushing back the tide - the nature of government programs is to grow and most have continued to do so, occasional changes in fashionable rhetoric notwithstanding.

Commentary on the Sixth Edition Unix Operating System
> The PyCon incident was not because of politically correct language. It was because of (ostensibly) sexist jokes and Internet call-out culture.

I'm sorry, but this is a no-true-Scotsman fallacy. (Or should I say "Scotsperson"? Sorry, too easy, I know.) Innumerable examples exist of Internet hate mobs being ginned up by freelance language police, of people getting bullied and threatened and in some cases fired from their jobs. How many times does this have to happen before you'll believe there is a larger problem?

And, furthermore, even if you don't think there is a fundamental issue with the push for politically correct language, this is still a problem for you, not just for the evil sexists and racists. I think you're entirely sincere about simply wanting people to use kinder words. But every time the Internet hate mobs wind up and destroy another person for some baffling transgression that no one had heard of outside Tumblr fifteen minutes ago, opinion hardens against your side. Your job gets more difficult. You need to stand up strongly against the Adria Richardses of the world if you want to save this goal of yours from the people who currently symbolize and control it.
