Hey, could you msg me to talk about this. Thanks!
Well for one, I hear it's on fire a lot.
It's even worse: the NHS budget has been severely cut by successive governments, yet it was very convenient to blame European migrants for the NHS crisis even though reports have shown have shown that migrants contribute more to the NHS than they take out.
Thank you! Terrific response.
It is in the EU's interest to make that deal less favourable for the UK than the current situation. Making a point about the benefits of the EU membership is really important right now.
It sounds like she didn't pay US income tax, she just had to file a tax return, which seems reasonable.

The idea that the US government doesn't track US citizens bank accounts if they live in the US is laughable. Of course they do. Banks have to report all kinds of details of large transactions and balances. We don't have to fill out forms because the government can go directly to the banks to get the information.

The way voting works I think is entirely reasonable. How else should it work? Is she suggesting there be senators and representatives just for expats? I would honestly expect the states would not want expats voting in their local elections, so the expats have more rights than I would expect there. For the Presidential election, yeah our voting system is screwed up there, but it is screwed up for everyone.

So it sounds like she left to avoid paperwork that felt intrusive. Meh. Welcome to life.
Snowden finally identified as target of Lavabit investigation
Like the other people are saying, it means" flat" or "broken outer surface".

Are you familiar with poker? We have another use of the word `flush` in that context, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_poker_hands#Flush where all of the cards are the same suit. So it's a similar use of flush in this instance, that everything is the same. It's similar to this thread's use of "flush".

I don't know Canadian visa law, but I would assume that your US firm needs to have an office in Canada to be able to sponsor a Canadian work visa for you.
Homicide is a small percentage of violent crimes (close to 0.1%), so it isn't necessarily what skews the prison population. Thankfully, by your logic, violent crime in general would do that, but it becomes much less clear using that data.

The gap in violent crime is much smaller than 6 times according to this DOJ report:

http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cv14.pdf

summed up in:
http://www.amren.com/news/2015/07/new-doj-statistics-on-race...

Comparing the violent crime rates to the % population in the US (63.7% white pop; 42.9% offenders | 12.6% black pop; 22.4% offenders), it's roughly 2.8 times as high for black as whites per person. Bad, but not quite 6 times as high by any measure.

Going back to the original number of total offenders, it would make sense (assuming violent crime is represented disproportionately), that roughly 42% of those imprisoned are white and 22.4% are black; instead blacks account for a whopping 37% of the prison population and whites only 22%.

It would seem something more is going on here.

Honestly I'm not surprised blacks dislike officers either; unarmed blacks are 3.49 time more likely to be shot by an officer according to a bayesian analysis[1]. They also found no relationship between this statistic and crime rate in the area.

I remember an issue in Cologne over new years. Economics isn't always the most important.
Isn't self-interest enough of an explanation? Mass-immigration is unlikely to be a short term benefit to the host country, particularly to low skill workers in that country. Why should they oppose their own self interest?

(I'm personally a very pro-immigration American, so I'm talking about this to understand the debate not to advance any particular objective.)
Maybe they shouldn't be watching six hours of TV a day then.

If I'm not mistaken UK is one of the larger economies, and therefore should have more influence over the negotiations than there smaller, and less significant countries.

As for free movement of things, I believe it is in the best interest of the EU to allow lenient trade with UK, insofar as it doesn't damage its reputation as a legitimate institution.

However if reputation does take precedence over economic sense, then the UK has plenty of other new opportunities, on a global scale, negotiate trade freely with little EU intervention.
Given that, I think it is his use of emphatic punctuation throughout the post which gives the impression that he is emotionally tilted, and not speaking in a professional capacity. He is using his public platform to deliver an impassioned rant. I don't think that's a result of him being a non-native speaker.
Have you checked out the GRUB features to load blob file systems for you into memory? It's one of the best ways to implement that kind of feature (for this sort of hardware).

I'm curious, what is stopping expats with foreign citizenship and an objection to the paperwork from just letting their US passports expire (or for the "accidental americans" not ever establishing one) and just not complying with all the annoying rules?
I would argue that it's easier from someone 'good' to become 'bad', as many of the things people believe that make them good can be incited by novelty, which naturally wears down over time. Kind of like how something can seem amazing the first time you know of it, but after it's been in your head for 20 years it just seems rote.
Thanks. That is ridiculous though. I believe I can earn rental income from my property in India. How is app-store income different, say if I register my app in India?
"ignore the data and do what's good for the feels."

If you are writing a system that is designed to predict arrests for any reason other than telling police officers where to go, then arrest records are precisely the data you want to use without these political correctness coefficients. So advertising legal help for criminal arrests to someone that matches arrest demographics is the correct thing to do. Anything else is stupidity.
> at this point the EU is under strong pressure to make an example out of the UK secessionist tendencies and the power is squarely on the European side.

If that is indeed true then I think every other country should leave EU with the urgency of a man whose hair are set on fire. It clearly shows that EU is not something that protects the interest of its members but a bureaucratic agency who is interested in expanding authority.
I'm sure you consider yourself very smart. I see that you are vested in this argument. I can only surmise that my position doesn't match your political views. Get outside, go relax. This discussion isn't worth the strain it's putting on you.

What would you like me to prove? For example, here's the homepage of the European Round Table, the lobby group featured prominently in the documentary...

http://www.ert.eu/

There doesn't seem to be any denial of their position as a European lobby group...

http://www.ert.eu/about-us

"ERT advocates policies at both national and European level, aimed at creating conditions necessary to improve European growth and jobs.

ERT Members firmly believe that Europe’s prosperity depends on the competitiveness of the European economy, which in turn requires a sound, stable and well-managed political environment."

Was there a particular claim in the documentary that you thought was far fetched?
No, you don't. You remember reading about it on the equivalent of Fox news.

There were no mass rapes, gropings, etc.

Would you believe the papers if they said Jews were out in force, drinking the blood of your Christian babies?

Edit: Oh forgive me for pointing out the blood libel. What could ever go wrong from framing an entire ethnicity for stealing our jobs and raping our women?
Right, but a disease like that has nothing to do with the union.

Hi,

If a Canadian is currently in the U.S on a TN visa, is it possible to get a green card? Or does one have to switch to a different visa first, as in a H1B?
> Over $2500 worth of pixel art (free to use however you like)

I think this sounds kinda fishy. Why isn't it sold for 2500 USD if it's supposed to be worth so much? I guess there are way too many scam sites trying to sell me something at a great discount that I can't help but feel this way.

I'd change this line to something like "over 1000 pixel art graphics free to use however you like".
College - indeed all formal educations - isn't free. It never has been. Someone has always paid. Someone always will. There needs to be a good return on investment for all parties involved. That includes the taxpayer, if she is footing the bill.

The difficult truth is that not every student has the prerequisite skills, ability, and self-discipline to complete university level work. Do you really expect the taxpayer to subsidize remedial courses at the university if the student couldn't acquire the prerequisite skills at the secondary level? Here in New York, despite record per pupil primary and secondary school expenditures, student performance has continued to drop. Why should taxpayers be forced to continue to subsidize poor performers? Those who want to do so are always free to contribute to scholarships.

Now let's consider student performance at the university level. Take a look at, for example, Richard Arum's book Academically Adrift. He notes that a large fraction of students graduate with very limited critical thinking and reasoning skills. This is because very little was demanded of them. As Arum so aptly put it, instead "they provided beer and circuses." The schools were paid for this...

Much of this outcome was produced because schools were paid (typically because of easily-obtained government subsidized loans). These students have not been so pleased when saddled with all the debt later on. Surprise: it is not dischargeable in bankruptcy. Talk about the "gift that keeps on giving..."

Now ask, How is "free college" going to provide return to the taxpayers if the students don't have significant "skin in the game"? How will you ensure this?

Matters have been exacerbated by what we call "rampant credentialism." Those who make hiring decisions love this because it provides a way to screen candidates without getting sued. Is there really sufficient demand for workers with all these credentials to pay to produce them all? I don't think so.

I have watched the "great sucking sound" predicted by Ross Perot as jobs were offshored. This now includes those STEM jobs Americans want. I know. I have one. When I started work almost 35 years ago I was in an analytical division of a major corporation that had over 300 scientists and technicians. There are 27 of us left. The major scientific societies have noted demand is weak and salaries are flat at best and appear to be declining.

Are all these new graduates going to be able to find employment at a salary where their taxes repay the public investment? I don't think so. It is one thing if a system is designed where people can freely contribute to provide such education. It is another matter entirely to do this by force of tax law without regard for return on investment. What gives any of you the right to force this on another? Who died and made you despot?

Finally, let me return to the one who has proposed "free college." What has Sen. Sanders really produced in his lifetime? How many such successful programs has he run? What has he really done?
I'm sorry, I have to comment.

I don't think your characterization of the US is fair.

It is insulting and doesn't seem topical to the current post, which is about the paperwork burden of living abroad.

Suggesting slavery is "how it got that way" is uniquely tasteless. A lot of people gave their lives to abolish slavery. Many of us have relatives who were slaves or died fighting for its end.

I see a point on the horizon now, where the legal system starts targeting a minority of honest, privacy-minded citizens in an attempt to diminish holes in their radar.
I've worked for an employer that has wanted me to do illegal things on their behalf w.r.t. payroll 'tweaking'. Refusal to do these things was causing lots of friction and so I did the prudent thing and quit. I've touched the code base that does payroll (doing legal unrelated tweaks). It is still probably being used to steal from their own employees. Am I to expect a knock on the door?

In some regions in the South-West of France the majority of immigration comes from UK. In some small towns almost 1 out of 10 inhabitants is British [1]. Admitedly these are mostly old British people looking for some nice place to live with a lower cost of life than UK.

>Americans gain huge benefits from the taxes paid by prior generations. The entire US system is the envy of much of the world--and how did it get that way? Americans paying their taxes.

This always amuses me. Previous generations didn't pay for things with taxes. They paid with debt. All those (crumbling) things that are "the envy of much of the world"? I and people my age paid for, decades after they were built. Just like future generations will pay for the things being constructed now.

>Whether or not you have kids--you must pay property taxes that fund your local schools. Unfair? Hardly. Those schools don't come out of thin air--taxpayers who came before you paid for them. Stop your whining.

How is that not unfair? Why should I have to pay for your kids to be educated just because you live near me? Educate your own damn kids. And if not, well, the world needs ditch diggers too.

> If you are a US citizen and you get in trouble somewhere on earth, the US government will come to your aid. That's what you're paying for...

Anybody who's actually been in trouble can fill you in on the limits of this fantasy. Assuming by "get in trouble" you mean get arrested, the US government will do things like contact your family, verify that you are a US citizen, and try to find you a lawyer.

If you're mistreated they will file a formal complaint with the host government. And I'm sure that's incredibly helpful.

In short, the US government will do pretty much what every government everywhere does for its nationals that "get in trouble".

>That's what you're paying for, in addition to paying for the next generation of Americans to have schools, roads, public utilities and the like.

This is all state and local stuff, except for highways. What does it have to do with the federal government?

>Really, whining about having to pay your share--no matter where you have run off to--is ridiculous.

The problem with this attitude is a lot of us have paid our share and your share too. There's a limit to the amount of rapaciousness a person should be expected to tolerate. Particularly if I'm living in another country, driving on that country's roads, sending my kids (if I had any) to that country's schools, etc.

How do you define "personality"? Does the fact that you're capable of changing not get included in that? Is the "new" personality the true you? Or the old one?
>It was all peopled. Unless you mean there were many miles between every settlement or something. But that's not really relevant.

Of course it's relevant. If there are 1,000 miles between each settlement of a thousand people, that's fewer deaths than European countries inflicted on each other during WW2. The fact that you don't think numbers are relevant is baffling to me.
Foreign Banks will refuse you service if they discover you are a US person with no intention/ability to comply. If they don't they face tax penalties on any US holding and possibly local penalties due to treaties with the US.

*Over time the US will enlist more and more help with these kinds of methods (for example many foreign employers would have obligations from paperwork they signed to accept US customer payments) so at some point you will probably have to come into compliance if you aren't somewhere totally at odds with the US.
Not only that, but probably a polymorphism-related error? It sounds like the logic might be that dependent objects/relationships in the graph (like reply comments) were what was intended to be deleted, but links to other videos were considered dependent relationships and needed to be deleted as well.
The advice I've heard is that you can do this, but you MUST lawyer/accountant up. My understanding is that it is reasonable for you to have foreign, pre-existing income, but you need the experts to file the right paperwork for the IRS to see it as reasonable. Just like your rental income, except more complicated to report properly.
HATEOAS is a pain in the ass to implement, people know what it means, they just don't bother implementing it. It's often not a necessary feature for an API. HATEOAS is even more painful when using JSON, a format that doesn't really support metadatas ( a link is meta compared to a ressource ) and very little clients are built with HATEOAS in mind.

The REST paper has good ideas, and people are picking and choosing what they want. There is no REST specification that makes HATEOAS mandatory. Maybe Roy Fielding should have written one on top of HTTP to make it clear what it is about instead of writing an dissertation.

How do you represent a link semantically? 100 businesses will have 100 different answers. That's why, by the way, HTML was so ingenious. HTML tags ARE semantic. If Roy came with a core set of tags describing things then people would know how to write basic HATEOAS APIs.

So don't blame the people, blame the absence of a clear specification(and no, the REST paper is not a spec, a spec is normative).

All this shouldn't matter as long as every IS documented. HATEOAS can't replace a good documentation. Today, for most developers REST is about urls, verbs and caching + a few other headers, nothing more.
Does anyone know how common this is in the US ?
OData is more or less SQL over HTTP. You get a rich toolbox for selection, projection and transformation of datasets exposed as an OData source (think EBay listings and SQL Server tables and reports), along with the remaining letters of CRUD.

What's the safest approach if you come across one of these in the wild? If you had already put your card in, you wouldn't want to just leave the device around waiting for the thief to pick it up. But you probably also don't want to be the person pocketing the memory chip with other people's debit card info.

I suppose taking a cell phone video describing your thought process and recording your interactions with the device is a good precaution to take whatever you end up doing with it.
Well, actually it is a good characterization of the leave campaign, which won the vote and thus a valid analogy.
Quoting from http://www.hooyou.com/news/news021709tn.html :

"A recently published authoritative letter from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) addressing the TN nonimmigrant visa category offers new and definite insight on the CBP’s policy for determining immigrant intent. In the letter, dated April 2008, the Executive Director of Admissibility and Passenger Protection Programs details clearly that filing an immigrant petition (I-140) alone is not automatically considered a demonstration of immigrant intent, and aliens with pending I-140s may still be admitted into US with a TN visa."

Under current CBP regulations, it seems that the current policy is to allow people to enter the country under TN status even if they have a pending green card application.

Also be cognizant of http://www.hooyou.com/tn/limitations.html :

"...a pending or approved employment based immigrant petition (Form I-140) or family based immigration petition (I-130) does NOT impute immigrant intent. The TN alien is eligible for TN extensions & to be admitted as a TN alien until the adjustment of status application (Form I-485) is filed or the applicant applies for the immigrant visa. While other types of status holders (such as H-1, L-1 or O-1) may apply for Adjustment of Status (AOS) as soon as they wish once entering the country, those of TN status have at least a 30 to 60 day waiting period upon entering the United States before they may apply for AOS. Any applications before this waiting period is over will be considered an attempt to gain fraudulent entry by the USCIS. Additionally, the U.S. consulate may deny a TN visa application if the alien has previous applied for an immigration petition or AOS. Those on TN status who wish to file an I-140 immigration petition should not travel outside of the country because they will encounter issues upon their re-entry. If an alien on TN status has an approved I-140 petition and is currently waiting on their AOS petition to be approved, they must be sure to apply for Advanced Parole to travel outside of the country. For more information on AOS, please click Adjustment of Status."

These are Executive Branch regulations and can change easily unlike the fairly set-in-stone congressional statutes, so it's best to keep up to date on what the current state of affairs is.

It's best to hire a good immigration lawyer and ask them how to proceed.
