This affects my girlfriend. She has a dual passport but only lived in the US to the age of six months. We are are British but live in Spain which already makes for complex tax arrangements, and this on top of things is just crazy. How the hell does the US think it has the right to tax people who haven't lived there for over 30 years?
Sigh. Opera is the only (mobile) web browser that implements text reflow sensibly, limiting block level elements to screen width.

So when you zoom into text that's wider than screen, it always reflows so that just vertical scrolling is required to read it.

Other mobile browsers force me to either zoom out making text illegibly small or to continuously scroll horizontally.

I so don't want to lose such a useful browser. If Opera is gone, I might have to write my own to do the same. Or more likely to hack Chrome or Firefox to do more sensible layout.

I've never heard of a CPU "breaking" during non-LN2 Level OC.
Overclocked CPUs run hotter. For modern technologies that means they can degrade faster, and can fail earlier than their expected lifetime. To be clear, I'm not saying this is the reason Intel did this, but it is one possible reason, and you asked for possible reasons.

Sort of.

When I was towing an empty 20+ lb trailer, and the bike +rider was in the 210lb range (so, 10% of the mass) I was about 10% slower than sans-trailer. Towing a trailer + 25lb kid was about another 10%.

A lighter bike _may_ feel different, but whether it's weight or something else, or even placebo is up for discussion. It's hard to tell frame weights. 20 years ago, I ran some blind testing where we put weighted waterbottles in a frame, one with lead, one with glass beads, and one empty. 5 trials, A/B, which one was heavier. IIRC, adding 5 lbs of lead was noticable to almost everyone, but the difference between 2.5 and 5 lbs was only noticeable to the frame builder.
Here's a brief outline of the "anti-gun lobby's" successes in the US:

Prior to the Civil War: bans on concealed carry ostensibly to discourage dueling.

Post-Civil War: bans mostly in the South on carry, or types of weapons allowed to be carried, to keep blacks disarmed.

Early 20ths Century: More widespread bans on carry, and restrictions on handgun ownership, prompted by the waves of non-Anglo-Saxon immigrants. New York's Sullivan Law, named after a gangster politician who disarmed his southern and eastern European rivals with it, is still the law of the land there.

The National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 was the first national level gun control law, which as a "compromise" didn't effectively ban the transfer of handguns.

Lots more where this came from with of course enforcement beyond the initially targeted populations, by the early '60s it was a big thing that Washington State passed a shall issue concealed carry licencing law.

Big push in the '50s and '60s to restrict gun ownership, especially of handguns (I've read many contemporaneous issues of the NRA's American Rifleman membership magazine that covered the Congressional hearings etc. on this, generally lead by the criminal Senator Thomas Dodd, ah, I see he also got LSD banned: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_J._Dodd#Congress).

The Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968 completely changed the way guns were sold in the US, opened the door for massive abuses by the BATF that were well on their way to extinguishing the country's gun culture when party reversed in 1986, etc. etc. etc.

The anti-gun lobby was very much a thing that very year, the GCA pretty much marked the beginning of their greatest successes in the country. If we "reflexively" vilify the gun grabbers today, it's because it's been such a thing, and so strong for all of our adult lives for the majority of us (those of us less than 65 years old, including all Baby Boomers born starting in 1950, those of us less than 100 years old if you include that Federal effort to effectively ban handgun ownership with a $3,500 transfer tax in 2015 dollars).

Life is a balance. This persistent lack of sleep, stress and over-exertion needs to be given back. Your mind and body are trying to tell you something. You need to listen.

Take some time off if you can afford it. Travelling is a good way to get away from everything related to work. No computers and mobile phone.

When you come back, you'll have lots of new perspectives, new ideas and feel refreshed.

I'm not sure where you live, but if you are in the US, try a flight down to central America with a backpack and a good pair of walking boots, keep your mind open, watch your back and you'll have a blast.

The backpacking trail through central America is awesome. Depending on how frugal you are, you can live pretty cheaply.

I live in China which has crap international bandwidth. Youtube via VPN is the only way ... my solution is to use VideoDownloadHelper plugin for Firefox @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloa...

OTOH, China has an awesome "who cares about gwailo IP" progressive IP policy which allows you to stream lots of copyrighted stuff instantly via multiple domestic providers. Hell, new TVs have this sort of thing built in! It's awesome for Hollywood crap, just not the content (eg. EU / art-house films) or type (eg. documentaries) that I am typically looking for. Then again we have torrents...

Somewhere, somehow, the internet finds a way. When all is said and done, it's only people who are scared, stupid or spendthrift that pay... or those who want the authentic cinema experience, collect media, or are commercial operations that need to worry about legal challenges.

A few years ago I actually used to live in Hollywood and London working for a big DRM-based video solutions provider that did work for literally most of the world's major mobile device manufacturers. Boring, but a great insight in to how corrupt the industry is. (Very)

American citizens have to pay $2,350 to renounce citizenship? What kind of paperwork costs that much? (Or, why not just add more paperwork and charge $100K?)

http://www.greenbacktaxservices.com/blog/renouncing-us-citiz...

> 1. Consular officers must confirm that the potential renunciant fully understands the consequences of renunciation, including losing the right to reside in the United States without documentation as an alien.

> 2. Consular officers must verify that the renunciant is a US citizen and they must conduct a minimum of two intensive interviews with the potential renunciant.

> 3. Consular officers must review at least three consular systems before administering the oath of renunciation.

> 4. The final approval of the loss of nationality must be done within the Directorate of Overseas Citizens Services in Washington, D.C. After that, the case is returned to the Consular officer overseas for final delivery of the Certificate of Loss of Nationality to the renunciant.

"Intense"? http://hodgen.com/renunciation-interviews-intense/ gives a report from an interviewee:

> Also, despite what the State Department says, I did not have “two intensive interviews”, unless two interviews at a window open to view of all waiting in the Passport Section at the London Embassy count. These were to make sure, first, that everything was correct on the (many) forms I had sent in, and, second, that I understood the seriousness of the step I was taking and finally to swear/affirm my renunciation. I thought it was all rather less intensive than it should have been, considering the seriousness with which I had approached it.

The official estimate, reported at https://www.rt.com/usa/183972-fee-renounce-us-citizenship/ , is that:

> the State Department notice gives an estimate of a consular officer’s time at $135 an hour working for 20 hours.

and confirms:

> “The questions are minimal and I didn’t spend more than 15 minutes at the window either time. It’s not intensive. They ask you: ‘Are you aware of the ramifications of your actions?’ And ‘Are you doing this of your own accord?” she said.

Finally from http://worthly.com/news/cost-renouncing-u-s-citizenship/ I learn:

> Prior to 2010 it was free to renounce U.S. citizenship, but in July of that year a $450 was established.

That's debatable but as the article notes citizenship-based income tax has been part of US law for a long time without that much issue (the standard deduction is already pretty high, it's just a pain in the ass that you have to declare it but most expats have been living with that for a long time).

FATCA is utterly bonkers though.

So, I know a us born billionaire who rescinded his citizenship last year to avoid fatca.

He has successfully evaded both the US and UK tax authorities to the tune of half a billion or so, he tells me.

The guy gives crazy amounts to philanthropic causes instead. He doesn't want his hard earned wealth pissed away by clueless bureaucrats.

So. Anyone who tells you fatca has been a success is full of it. It penalises "normal" people, and the evaders keep on evading. Uruguay is where they've all now got citizenship.

Google crafts custom networking CPU with parallel computing links
The problem isn't citizenship-based taxation, it's an odd concept but it's been there for a very long time, there's a relatively high standard deduction and IIRC your local income tax is also deductible. Expats have dealt with that for more than a century.

As the article points out, the problem is FATCA which doesn't come close to fixing the issue it's supposed to fix (income tax evasion) and completely breaks expats under the standard deduction limit.
Except of course that if and when he leaves he ceases to be that US person because he's no longer a permanent resident.

For what it's worth, at least part of the problem should be fixed when the EU's Payment Accounts Directive [1] comes into effect [2]. It prohibits both discrimination on the basis of nationality (as long as the customer is legally resident) in article 15 and enshrines the right to a basic bank account in article 16.

This does not solve the other problems with FATCA, but it should eliminate at least one practical and very real annoyance for Americans living in the EU.

[1] http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A3...

[2] Technically, the directive is to be transposed by September 18, 2016 at the latest, but some member states may be dragging their feet.
I am an American living in Prague and will be among those to give up their citizenship. The new FBAR requirements and the recently pushed through changes that require foreign banks to report are really a huge burden. It is a significant legal risk to be an American overseas. The fines are insane for failiure to report, even if you owe no taxes! You can easilly land yourself with a $20 000 - $80 000 fine for having a hundred bucks in the bank and no income. Indeed, it's not just double taxation, it's tripple taxation, because I have to have a special bank acount that is for Americans, and the fees for the "American expat" bank account are much higher than the ones for a normal bank account.

But I think that it is wrong to present this as a taxation issue. I would be fine with paying a percentage of my income in taxes. There are some benefits to being a US citizen, like that the army will rescue you if there is a civil war ;). But the fear uncertainty and doubt that surrounds these new regulations makes it nerve racking to be a citizen. Every expat I know here has nightmares about an audit comming and having all of their assets seized. And it has happened to some of them too! And that legal risk is no longer a form of taxation, because taxes are percentual (the more you earn the more you pay), but when you end up having to pay a fine that is higher than your net worth, that's just robbery.

We used to be a free nation, but thanks to austerity the 'r' had to be removed.
It can be a huge hassle for normal US citizens living outside the US. Most banks won't deal with them because of the risks involved. As a US citizen abroad, just getting a regular bank account can be next to impossible.

I live in Singapore and when I was signing up for a stock trading account I asked what would have happened if I had to answer yes in the box that asked if I was liable to pay income tax in the US. The answer was plain: "you wouldn't be allowed to have an account with us".

That shows it tied with Finland and Sweden, and the only ranking it uses is how many countries you can travel to without a visa, which is a bit limited as a statement of 'power' (though it is definitely an important measure). Other important measures would be in how many countries there are consular services available for holders of a certain passport and a couple of others.
