Which interpretation is at least as uncharitable as the one that thinks he said India should have remained a colony of Britain?

Any other (more sane) interpretation might be a really, really profoundly stupid statement, as well. I don't care and am not qualified to argue those.

The point is that we can't have meaningful conversations when so many people jump immediately on the misinterpretation of a statement that is most useful for bringing out the hate for the one who spoke it.

I know quite a few humans in the business world that I think don't really have empathy but have learned to behave as if they had it.
That's prior to the industrial revolution compared to after the industrial revolution. It's the same story with India, Russia and China - during that period the global economy shifted from being overwhelmingly defined by agriculture and other products of manual labour (and therefore being heavily dependent on population) to being defined by industrial production. Britain treated India as an extractive economy, were involved in many abuses and crimes, and certainly held back India's development (the lack of literacy even in the 1940's is the most clear-cut example), but it's an enormous stretch to say that India under the Mughals or the other regional rulers would suddenly have made India into an industrial superpower.

You can see in Russia, in the absence of any colonialism, the enormous struggle which there was to transform an economy dependent on manual labour, and with an elite dependent on feudal social structures, into a modern economy. I would separate the issues of abuses/crimes and the issues of development in the sense that the abuses were perpetrated due to moral failings, of power-hunger, racism, and greed, but development is not just about morality, it's about having the right policy and the right trajectory for society. In terms of development, the really damaging attitude was that India's ancient culture should not be disturbed to make way for industrialization, and this was an opinion shared by many well-meaning British and also Indians, pre and post independence.
FBAR requires you to report an account held overseas in excess of $10,000. This is separate from the reporting you do on your tax return and separate from the reporting institutions are required to do for FATCA.

FBAR is more insidious for the individual because any US taxpayer (not just citizens) is required to file an FBAR and $10,000 is a stupidly low number. Worse even if the money overseas isn't yours (in the case you have say signature authority over an account because of power of attorney) you still have to file. Even worse once one account tops $10,000 you have to report all of them even if they have zero balance. It's also not clear what constitutes an account. Example does a PayPal account count ?

The only conclusion I can come up with is that FBAR is basically there to make it easy for the Feds to do a Martha Stewart and get you for lying, because proving tax evasion is a bit hard.

There are rich arab or chinese expats in the west, are they called immigrants? I think expats refers to the temporary/revocable/definitely-not-forced status of the immigrant. In my greek native, expat and immigrant are used interchangably (ομογενής /μετανάστης)

That said, "expat" is the wrong term for someone who renounced his original citizenship. I guess they should be called "pats" now.
My areas of focus are pretty different from that author's - e.g. I haven't tried contributing to the core language. But I've been using Julia for my research code for ~4 months now, and it's been an absolute joy.

The language allows super-readable code while remaining quite fast. The sort of research I'm doing involves interacting a bit with data then doing a bunch of simulations, and Julia excels at this. The expressiveness in how Julia handles anonymous functions, optional arguments, tuple construction/deconstruction, etc. allows for really concise configurations of how my little simulations run.

My only pain points:

- DataFrames are not as fast as the rest of the language.

- I'd like an infix function composition operator. (Possibly this exists, but I can't find it in the documentation).

9.5/10, absolutely recommend.

To split hairs a bit: Gender identity is a social construct while biological sex is not.

I think the author meant sex, not gender, and GP meant gender, not sex.

It's easy to conflate the two in conversation, but keeping a semantic barrier between them will help maintain civil discourse without the risk of devolving the discussion into a flame war.
Interesting that the the "Deed of Trust" starts off,

> Gentlemen

The first paragraph goes on to talk about supporting widows and children. Thankfully the paragraph does end with, "Grants of sums of money may also be made to heroes or heroines as the Commission thinks advisable-each case to be judged on its merits."

But by the third paragraph, it's back to "A medal shall be given to the hero, or widow, or next of kin ..."

I'm sure that language doesn't bias anyone on the Commission.

Taxpayers with a total value of specified foreign financial assets below a certain threshold do not have to file Form 8938

From https://www.irs.gov/Businesses/Corporations/Do-I-need-to-fil...

You must file Form 8938 if:
1. You are a specified individual.
tick!
2. You have an interest in specified foreign financial assets required to be reported.
tick!
3. The aggregate value of your specified foreign financial assets is more than the reporting thresholds that applies to you:
If you are a taxpayer living abroad you must file if:
You are filing a return other than a joint return and the total value of your specified foreign assets is more than $200,000 on the last day of the tax year or more than $300,000 at any time during the year

For once, the IRS pages on this topic seems pretty clear.

Steven Pinker's'The Blank Slate' explains it well. Western culture has a bias toward nurture explanations rather than nature explanations because admitting nature affects people's perceptions of their abilities and our sense of agency as a culture. If all differences are culture we can fix them. That's why it becomes political.
Incredible indeed.

Is there any info whether Deepstream is used in the stock trading platform and in which scenarios?
It does sound like another shitty attempt to show only things they deem relevant. I only follow a small number of people on Twitter _precisely so that I can see everything they post_.

I think it might make sense when I look at some of the trending things though. Then they really need to apply filters, especially to the spammers.
The obvious difference is that the US is run by the colonizers instead of the colonized (and look at the status of Native Americans today).
From personal experience -- switching from socket.io to socketcluster.io for our conferencing platform was a life saver. Its so much more stable & performant its crazy. We also use it to run our webrtc video chat platform which works great as well. Cant say enough good things about this.
Yes this is exactly right: "The physical intepretation of a negative number is the quantified absence of a unit." In the physical world, the absence of a unit just means the perspective doesn't include whatever it is that is intended to be observed, although that thing may exist elsewhere. In other words, a negative number may be an abstraction for quantifying that a unit has left an isolated system, but I'm not sure our current usage of numbers as abstractions captures this - it seems like we often use negative numbers (in any unit) to denote the actual subtraction of that unit universally as opposed to its transfer to another isolated system. (This could be where mathematicians can get into trouble compared to physicists as perhaps they don't have the same habit of observing units.)
It was pointed out elsewhere in this stories discussion that the Citizen Services section of the State Dept is "profitable". So there's no need to levy taxes to pay for embassies. Fees (like the $2000+ fee to renounce) more than covers their costs.

I am still failing to see what rights, if any, they actually get out of this arrangement. The right to vote ... except that the only issue that concerns them is the treatment of expats, and expat votes are spread around all districts meaning they are essentially ignorable. Not worth anything.
They can, though I'm having trouble imagining they'll be ingenious enough to fix things that require very precise engineering or nanofilters.
Let's drop the pretense. A differing political interpretation is not necessarily a sign of ignorance, and pretending like it is only contributes to the atmosphere of toxic obstinance that has devoured our political process in recent years.

Instead of implying that Marc Andreessen is uneducated or ignorant, explain your disagreement civilly, without name-calling or mud-slinging. If the issue is too sensitive for you to do that, it's probably best to refrain from replying until you've cooled down enough to remain civil and present a legitimate counter-argument.

This is very interesting - thanks for the reply and link. I'll dive into Becher and Figueria.
Yeah, but they don't. I posted links to support that elsewhere.

Still, the original argument wasn't about total cost, it said that being evacuated was a service you get just for being a US citizen. Not the case.

I've never paid double taxes living in the EU/UK.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_equalization
Yeah, I agree. Most social media makes it easier to attack than to argue, so it benefits groups that attack rather than argue. A big part of the problem is the retweeting/reblogging functionality, which seems designed to encourage aggressive mass stupidity. There's already a problem on Tumblr where people selectively quote others' private posts as public and add some political sneer. I guess the best solution is to treat internet pile-ons the same way as trolling: ban it, flag it, block it, scorn it, or walk away if all else fails.
I've heard elsewhere that foreign banks were closing down accounts of American expats because the customers aren't worth the FATCA paperwork. Have you encountered any trouble with that?

Ask HN: What do you use to backup your data / family photos?
I have a ton of videos of my family, pictures I would regret losing. I also have a lot of books and documents on my desktop.

What do you use to manage backups? I'm looking for something that backs up everything, and also let's me browse the backed up data in a browser or something.

Dropbox seems nice, but $100 is a little steep if I can find something a bit more inexpensive.

The WaPo-owned slate.com has been doing frequent renaming of articles for a while now. I suspect they've been a testbed for Bandito or a similar system. One very frustrating side-effect is that I am often drawn to click on the same article multiple times. That's because it shows markedly different headlines for the same article, sometimes even on the same page simultaneously.

Case in point, as of right now, slate shows a headline: "What Bernie Sanders' Victory Means"

and lower on the page: "It's Official: Bernie Sanders Just Won New Hampshire"

both of which link to the same article, which sports the quotidian title "Bernie Sanders Wins New Hampshire".

The two front-page headlines are not just tweaked variants of each other, they sound like substantially different articles, one a reporting-the-news article and the other an analysis piece.

This is super-frustrating to me, because I keep feeling like the site is wasting my time and attention. It's starting to drive me away from slate overall. I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happens to the WaPo.
sigh....sure there's a "10%" on the bike side. but the scale of that "10%" is infinitesimally small in comparison to the level of incompetence in motor vehicles, and moreover a bike isn't an (n) thousand pound kinetic energy weapon.

this is a tired argument that lacks any basis in fact. what is supported by fact is that we annually kill tens of thousands of people each year in this country (USA) as a result of driver incompetence, i.e. distracted, drunk, etc, etc.......
In short, the facts on which you're convicted may be completely different from the facts on which you're sentenced? Sounds like a rather blatant end run around the whole "beyond a reasonable doubt" thing.

I did not want to say that the consequences of Facebooks Free Basics can't be seen as something bad. ..and I personally wouldn't argue for their proposed implementation either.

It just bugs me that the whole debate always needs to be drown to the lowest common denominator of political understanding. There is little positioning left if everthing is always pressed in shallow us versus them identities.

Both sides have better and worse arguments for their position.

Ultimately, in my opinion, the issue comes down to solid antitrust mechanisms.

On the other hand, floorsweeping and binning cannot exactly match market demand. Towards the end of a run of a given chip, most may qualify for the highest bin - but due to demand many have to get moved down a bin or two. So you end up with totally capable of being overclocked CPUs being sold as lower clock.

> From my experience there are very few legit reasons for intercepting keys, and the use cases you mentioned are better solved by implementing a device driver (which would be signed by MS).

That's assuming you have control over what third parties who write the software have done, and needing to go through the expensive bureaucratic process to get a driver signed is a major reason why they wouldn't do it that way if there was any alternative.

> Allowing non-elevated code to install system hooks also enlarges the attack surface, since now a malware piece can just infect your keyboard layout translator for getting keyboard access.

But now you're not talking about antivirus anymore. Installing things is expected to require privileges. There is a huge difference between a password prompt that says "authenticate if you want to install" and a red alert that says "malware detected and blocked, override may cause fire and mayhem."

Which is especially problematic when it's done by third party antivirus because it means the vendor of whatever software is being misdetected as malware probably didn't encounter that in their testing.

> Me, I would like an Intent/Permission mechanism on Windows, where certain actions like keylogging or accessing other processes memory require explicit white-listing (like on Android/iOS). Currently some actions do require a certain privilege, but that privilege is granted per-user, not per-app, so it doesn't help that much.

Fundamentally non-technical people don't understand what they're authorizing. It doesn't matter how granular the choices you provide are if the person in front of the button doesn't understand the implications.

You have to be able to trust the software you run, which implies trusting the people who made it. And people keep trying to solve that problem centrally when it isn't a central problem. Microsoft can't tell you if you can trust your brother, or the girl you met at the computer club. They can't tell you if you can trust Lenovo or Sourceforge. Microsoft certainly can't tell you if you can trust Microsoft. You have to decide, or decide who to trust to decide for you. And if you aren't going to decide for yourself then the person you trust to decide can't be Apple or Microsoft, it needs to be someone you personally actually trust, because central gatekeepers can't be trusted not to act against your interest when it's in theirs.

"It will be science when someone scans a very small brain to a very high resolution, will build a functioning simulation of that brain in a computer to such an extent that the simulation exhibits all of the traits of the original."

And that science will not happen until we have (among several things) the ability to stabilize a brain sufficiently (when no longer being used for its original purpose) to have a very high resolution scan performed and stored.

I would think getting this first part correct would be of the utmost importance. Scan resolutions will continue to improve for any number of reasons beyond this application.

It would appear that the primary subject of the OP is both quite relevant, and an important building block, allowing research to move further along this particular approach.

Depends on what "matter" means. For the goals of the individual VCs making themselves more money, sure, agreed. And perhaps also for the goal of making as many (financially) successful tech companies as possible, without regard to what those companies do.

But for the goal of improving society by this investment, instead of worsening it? A successful neo-Nazi VC would be terrifying.

Well, that's not exactly true. American is another child of the Magna Carta and we definitely (at the North's insistence) adopted the British economic system (Capitalism). Originally, Americans fought for their rights as British subjects, and later turned towards independence when that was not going to happen.

Yes, the American government was a new thing, but it was built on a foundation already understood by the founding fathers.

I often wonder about the world in the British had given seats in the House of Commons to its bigger colonies. Distance and communications speeds were problems as well as the government's attitude toward the colonies. It probably would have been cheaper than the world spanning war they ended up fighting with France during the American Revolution.
