Wait a minute, is this a troll post? Interfaces? I get the tooling, maybe, and CSP out of the box, I don't understand what's great about Go's interfaces (compared to plain old boring Java, for instance).
I don't think it's meaningful to use 'weaker' or 'pure' because it carries with it a moral dimension that says more about the speaker's views than the underlying social desirability or effectiveness.

I do not know enough to give a meaningful view on nuances of different forms of democratic governance. I will point out that much of the affairs of our daily lives take place in command hierarchical, aka, the workplace. The pressure (from corporate media and rich people) is often to run government more like a business. It should be to run a business like a democracy.

It's quite a bit more hassle than normal American tax paperwork.

Every foreign bank account or financial instrument over some trivial amount ($500?) must be reported. Foreign banks must report your holdings and gains using forms more burdensome than the usual American ones. Good luck owning a company: if Americans have controlling interest in a foreign corporation, their books must be open to the US or the corporation's income will be included in your own. The last time I saw one, the form to describe your foreign corporate holdings had a Paperwork Reduction Act notice declaring it expects it will take 2 weeks to fill out.

I think the absolute simplest case would be a 1040 (not 1040-EZ), along with the extra form for the FEIE. The FEIE has a 'bona fide resident' determination section which is up for interpretation. Two examples are given in the instructions, but the IRS will not tell you if you count as a bona-fide resident in advance (I have tried to get a determination here, and they just won't make one). There is, thankfully, a 330/365 days out of the country exclusion; just carefully fill out the form that lists all of your travel days to any country for the year.

If you live abroad, your 16 year old kid is responsible for serious fines if they don't do this for their first McJob (in theory; I've never heard of it prosecuted that way).

This was all a few years ago; some details may be inaccurate. But it's a serious amount of work, and it's enough hassle that a lot of foreign banks and financial institutions simply won't do business with Americans (which is yet another hassle).
It's not the unlocking that's the precedent. It's the door into "modify your source code in such and such a way."

Come to think of it, why aren't free market standard bearers rallying against this as government intrusion into market features?

I'd say it's conjecture that "far more Americans immigrate to feel freer, safer, better protected".

Where's that source? Where are they going that's "freer" and "safer". I'm not saying there aren't areas that are more free, however the hell you define that. There might even be safer places, although that's a ridiculous generalization of the United States. It's all relative to your race, religion, location, economic situation. That sounds absurd.
I spent most of the past 15 years in Europe, and only recently came back to the US. I probably would have been fine staying over there, but never felt particularly inclined to give up my US citizenship just because I was happy living there.
This is the same idea as using an AM radio as an audio tachometer in old cars. You can hear the ignition system hum rise and fall in pitch on the radio as the engine rotation rate changes.
This is a great explanation and I appreciate you providing it.

I think the point GP was making was that he got literally 4 words into the "simple to explain" explanation before realizing this explanation is going to be like tons of other things he reads here and elsewhere that require so much prior and specialized knowledge as to be nearly impossible for someone lacking a high level of experience in the area to understand.

I often feel this way when security topics come up on HN. I've been writing code a long time and I think I'm of moderate intelligence and I often have no idea what anyone is talking about. I try not to lose sleep over it because I understand that security can be really, really complicated (even if the issue is "easy to explain") and so I'm just not going to get it.

Using mutt or offlineimap:

2. Download all messages.

3. Copy your saved messages to another location.

4. Delete all email on server.

Local search tools can then be used to access that archive.

Not sure if how company who netted $18 billion in their last quarter needs to generate buzz.

Either way, bringing a car to market is a wise move for Apple never struck me as a great idea. I've always suspected there's just too much good will and little-guy championing for Tesla to make Apple's offering a thing we want to own. Tesla vehicles are also incredibly well designed, aesthetically pleasing, and have a tonne of respect for laying the groundwork for this emerging industry.

Could it have been better for the brand to partner with Tesla and restore some credibility? Not sure. But I do predict they'll call this thing the Apple Auto.

It's outright deception, not willful ignorance.
XML uses three symbols: <, >, and /. And it's a well-known, documented standard. Looking at the last project I depended on, its build.sbt uses :=, %, %%, /, <+=, <<= (in addition to standard Scala symbols like +=, ++=, ++, =>, <=, >=, which an inexperienced developer wouldn't necessarily realise weren't part of SBT's own syntax). That's not an exhaustive list (I've used :+= and :++= as examples in another thread) and I have no idea where to find one. Heck, I've been a professional Scala developer for 5 years and I have literally no idea what <+= or <<= mean.

Good to know. So, to summarize the article, "We've found a way to sell milk for more than double the price at no substantial increase in production costs,* and we're prepared to smother any competition in shady lawsuits. Give us some investment money and we'll cut you in!"

*"The point of difference is that a2 Milk products are sourced from dairy cows that produce only the A2 type of beta-casein protein, whereas most dairy contains both A2 and A1." There's no extra processing involved; they've just got different cows.

Okay how about one very, very simple question - Can I replace my all of my Swift and iOS+tvOS+watchOS APIs with React Native? To make it easy for you. Can I do that within next 1 year? What will happen when Apple will introduce a slew of new APIs will be introduced in Sept?

I would love these kind of interviews to happen, but it comes to this question - does the interviewer or the candidate is willing to spend this much time? I'm in university, and it would be hectic to give every interview this way.

I see this work better with non-entry level positions, assuming candidates apply to fewer companies and companies have fewer candidates to interview.
Tell Emmett Nick McD says whatup!
Correct. That's what I should have written.
Is it a cause for denial in and of itself, or does it just mean that you apply for a visa like other nationals of the country in which you reside? And how do they know you renounced "for tax reasons"?
Emigration != Citizenship.

People renouncing citizenship don't do so simply because they've made a life for themselves in Europe or somewhere similar (be it temporarily or semi-permanent or permanent). Being a dual citizen has many advantages. (Not the least of which is allowing the US constitution to actually apply to you as you enter the country)

People renounce their citizenship when retaining it becomes more effort than the benefit received. For instance, I'm dual Italian-Canadian, and I have no qualms about retaining my Italian passport indefinitely, even though my father was Italian and I only lived in the country for a year.

Now, should the Italian government decide they needed monthly bank statements from my Canadian accounts like the US does, making my life a nightmare of paperwork every year, I might reconsider.
It's high for even for a b2b saas company. I think another consideration that should probably bring SurveyMonkey's down is that they have great competitors.
The homicide rate in the US is certainly higher than many places in Europe:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention...

That wasn't the chief reason I lived there though.

The health care system in the US is a godawful mess.

OTOH, the US is a pretty wealthy place with lots of good stuff going on. I'm sure everyone has their own reasons.
Yes, as absolute numbers. But how many of those are "high net worth" individuals, who may (or may not) contribute considerably more in taxes each year than the average tax payer? I believe, "Is there an exodus of people with access to large amounts of capital", is the real question with various long-term implications.
You sound like you have a chip on your shoulder.

The free perks are great, but are not the core reason that make Google's work environment compelling for the many that love it (and they don't offer unlimited time off, although I know you don't mean that literally).

Google offers a very healthy working environment for many people. It's a large and diverse company. Not everyone loves it here, of course. But many do, and it's clear it's offering an environment that has real value and pull, and tries hard to respect and empower those of us down in the trenches.
I'm not sure that your example shows that the analysis you learn in school is "crap in the real world".

Using O analysis is for seeing how an algorithm scales with respect to the input size. If anything, the fact that someone believes a O(nlogn) algorithm is always faster than O(n^2) is a failure on that person's part in properly understanding what O is used to measure.
"why aren't free market standard bearers rallying against this"

because it has nothing to do with the "free market".
"esp. in things like the differing perspectives of IHVs vs. ISVs”

That does not surprise me. The IHVs used to write drivers with tens of layers of code, and now only have to write the lowest-level layers. That could mean a significant cost reduction for them, but that code still would have to be written and maintained.

The ISVs, on the other hand, will have to write those intermediate layers, possibly multiple times for different target requirements (speed vs display quality, for example; every single application could have custom-tuned upper layers), and (almost) for every single hardware revision (that may mean a growing market, which would be good for them, if they can find the engineers to take it)

ISVs also may have concerns that a new competitor will spring up to try and take this new territory (for example, engineers who now write the upper levels of OpenGL drivers for a hardware manufacturer might start a new company)

I’m not sure the IHVs should be completely happy, though. Third parties who will try to write those intermediate layers will need a very good understanding of what the hardware actually does, and that may leak what they consider competitive information (it may give competitors hints as to how to make their hardware faster, or it may give them more information to sue them for patent breaches for). Because of that, I would not be surprised if a lot of this information would be ‘given’ to ISVs under NDA. That would be bad for those wanting to write open source drivers.
>...the number of people giving up passports is absolutely inconsequential. This number is further minimized since the US has one of the lowest tax rates to begin with, so the vast majority of dual-citizens owe 0 in additional tax.

Right... so these two points might be related, as the people renouncing might be the people who do owe additional tax. Personally, I would feel a bit put out if I'd permanently moved to another country and had Uncle Sam looking to take a piece of my income.
I don't think it was the wrong adjective, my statement was maybe with too little context, but I think "weak" is correct. Perhaps meaningful democracy would be a better choice.

I agree absolutely with you on the workplace, more people should start realizing that.
Perhaps the scroll-jacking is making me overly critical, but here are some thoughts:

* FOMO is not a SV term; it's ubiquitous in investing.

* Providing assistance doesn't imply a quid pro quo. If you expect acknowledgement, be up front about it. It's certainly good manners to give credit where it is due (and nearly always makes you look better for doing so) but I question your motives if you expect it.

* You think a more altruistic tech scene benefits you. Perhaps you have a better 'vision' than others, or perhaps people just see things differently.

* I don't think pile-of-money clipart is ever going to add anything to an article.

* I'd be hesitant to associate advertising my services with a post that basically denigrates the tech scene in your area, and specifically people you've helped with before.
Except they have the shooter's phone, which has the identifying information which results in the correct UDID. To get the same UDID on another phone they just need to change the source values to the same values as in the shooter's phone. The fact that it's a cryptographic hash doesn't really help here, assuming they can change all the source values at will.

Windows 10 growth hits the brakes
Most programmers that have any business getting hired should be able to do that. The problem is that when you interview people, you don't get a good sample of the population: The worse you are, the more interviews you have to do, because you get declined a whole lot.

In a previous job, a question like that would not even get a 20% pass rate, but it also have a lot to do with where we were sourcing our employees: If you are talking to generic contracting firms that employ people in giant, generic behemoths, you WILL get a lot of terrible candidates from them. From the powerpoint architect that hasn't written a line of code in weeks, to people that just had a job at big megacorp, and did the minimum possible not to get fired (and, in some of those corps, that's really little).

It got that bad that there were employer patterns that we considered resume black flags: Spent one year in MasterCard? Well, they hire pretty much anyone for a year, and they just don't get renewed, so we will understand that experience as 'you weren't good enough to work there, and most people there suck'.

Barry Eisler on Whistleblowers at the Assoc of Former Intelligence Officers
Nontraditional data is THE future of investing and engineers are best suited to find it. For instance, if you wanted to know who was spending the most to acquire users, wouldn't it make sense to get bid data from ad exchanges? If you wanted to know which were the most anticipated games of the year, wouldn't the Reddit API be the tool you'd use to check? And if you wanted to predict crop yields, wouldn't satellite data of crop fields be the most realtime way to see it? Traditional equity research doesn't do this - but we do and we've seen it work. We're building a system to systematize our capabilities.

The scale of what we're trying accomplish is no easy feat - we handle realtime data at very high throughputs and analyze datasets > 1TB in an environment where accuracy and speed counts. Our output has a real impact on investment decisions.
