I doubt there's reciprocity involved many times. Better-off countries are going to have their citizens let in much more easily, in general. From a easier viewpoint: Who is more likely to overstay a visa/illegally immigrate? Apart from special deals (like the new Mexico-Canada one) that's probably a good way to guess at the visa status.

Although, after the visa issue, many less well-off countries are far more restrictive on immigration laws. Guatemala, for instance, charges a per-day fine for visa overstay and won't let you leave until it's resolved. My daughter, born to a GT national, owes around $4000 in fines on leaving.[1] Can you imagine how it'd be if Canada/EU/US would be viewed if they didn't let illegal immigrants leave until they paid fines?

Guatemala also supposedly requires a local transit-license to drive here. Whereas you can get stopped by the police as a Guatemala tourist in Canada/US just fine, here, even with passport and drivers' license, you can be detained/fined. However I imagine this is selectively enforced.

1: We'll end up either getting local citizenship to eliminate it, or somehow negotiating a better deal.

>does not mean you can't express the same content through a combination of words and sentences.

This is not true, from my experiences studying foreign languages. There are many words and idioms/phrases that don't have an accurate translation into any other language. Even a paragraph-long translation fails to translate the nuance and meaning behind the word. The author's list has many Japanese definitions that I don't entirely agree with - or fail to translate the nuance behind the words/phrase.

At best you get a close approximation. This is one of a few reasons why things are "lost in translation". Without an equivalent - the nuance is lost.

Is there a guide to multiple citizenship power leveling anywhere?

Edit: A bit of munging from the web page later...

For Americans and British/Western Europe, the passports you want are Burkina Faso, Benin and Senegal. They will bring your passport power level up by 13 points to 168 (American) and 170 (UK) and give you visa free access to Cote Divoire (Ivory Coast), Mali, Iran, Congo, Niger, Benin, Nigeria, Liberia, Central African Republic, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Chad, Ghana. In reality these countries may not allow dual citizenship! Benin and Burkina Faso however do recognize dual citizenship while Senegal does not. (http://www.multiplecitizenship.com/worldsummary.html)

The highest power level you can have as a dual citizen is 170. Any combination of these three African countries and Western European nations will achieve this. So the most powerful dual citizens are mostly West African migrants.

Now for triple citizens, the highest possible power is a whopping 178. There are a few combinations that do this, involving those 3 African countries, plus Russian Federation, Singapore, Japan and Turkey. For example, Turkey/Japan/Senegal, Burkina Faso/Russia/Singapore, Japan/Benin/Turkey. So it looks like the path to ultimate power is sadly blocked for those of us in the USA and Europe, and in fact, the most powerful dual citizens cannot become the most powerful triple citizens. On the other hand, Senegal/United States of America/Malaysia will get you 177, nearly as good.

A few thoughts:

- Just because some gets you a positive return, doesn't mean it's an ideal investment. If you can get a 6% return, then an investment getting you 3% isn't that great.

- Real estate is local. Schiller is looking at average across the entire country. Areas appreciate at different rates. If you're lucky enough to buy in an area where prices are rapidly appreciating, then it can be a great investment. If you're buying at the top, then it can be a really bad investment.
I sure you'll think this way, until eventually you grow up and develop some empathy of your own. Then come back and tell us how much you appreciate a world where no man can afford to own his own home, and all homes are owned by banks.

Yes, you're right. The Nobel Prize winner completely misses that the value of an asset is complicated. He only talks about that in half of the piece.

It seems the biggest issue is that you can patent "unaligned loads" in a way that covers both a hardware instruction and software fault handler.

These are very different things. The software fault handler doesn't even do unaligned loads, naturally.

Which is silly because you'd never invest that way.
Yes, it's a safety valve to guard against dysfunctional democracies. It's a compromise, and yes you will limit the service of both good and bad leaders, but that doesn't make the compromise any less valid. Many people fear change, and don't like to admit they made a mistake, and base a lot of their vote on personality rather than achievement, and as a result of these factors people can keep voting for someone even if they do a poor or mediocre job.

I personally believe the best form of democracy would be something along the lines of a liquid democracy, coupled with a constitution that protected the rights of everyone (to ensure those with minority viewpoints would always be entitled to a base level of respect). If you're interested in finding out about liquid democracy, this video provides a good introduction:

Of course. Averages can hide very dramatic trends.

However, the average rate of return on real estate is pretty consistent. That would argue that although areas appreciate at different rates, over a long enough time period, they returns are all pretty small.

What's sauce for the Turks is sauce for the Swedes. The Deep State in Sweden seems to make their security services and at least some prosecutors an arm of the US hunt for Assange. If you would support greater autonomy among US allies, so they behave less like vassals, it's hard to support the Deep State in Turkey.

Anyway, the Deep State has proven to be brittle, unreliable, and prone to blowback.
Not really. The examples mentioned here are very edge case and don't warrant the risk and fraud that this system brings. Big providers love the traffic and can blame things on "international tariffs." Though for all I know, AT&T and so might have deals that require them to terminate all traffic.

In the US it is compounded by the fragmented telco system. You can find numbers in the US that'll pay several cents (some bill up to dozens of cents/minute). This was really heavily abused by things like FreeConferenceCalls or "sexy local chat" lines. It's also used to provide "radio-by-phone" for expats. They'll target a large immigrant population, then play home-town stations over the phone call. This lets people without data use their unlimited-US calling get radio from home without paying directly. Lots of money to be made coming up with ideas like this.

The FCC has ruled this is mandatory and slapped US telcos that blocked such traffic. Though the owners of such numbers now usually mandate that the business be based or have operation in their jurisdiction to avoid running into more challenges.
But you pay interest on your leverage. So if your asset isn't appreciating faster than inflation + your interest rate then I don't think you're actually realizing any gains.
Quite common in the US too

It's just the recent trend. And property prices will take a dive sooner or later. An interesting graph to keep in mind is [Amsterdam house prices](http://imgur.com/eGAE3BW) adjusted for purchasing power the last 400 years. As can be seen, we just two years ago passed the all-time which ended with the Dutch Golden Age. The event that will cause the current market to collapse is not clear yet. But it undoubtedly will happen.
??? Haskell absolutely has tail recursion; foldl just evaluates non-strictly and therefore can leave thunks in memory. This is fine for e.g. reversing a cons-list. Regardless, it is tail recursive (and uses constant stack space). foldl' is also tail recursive and has strict semantics.

Structural recursion can't be guaranteed to terminate in any language that supports codata unless you have some sort of totality checker (e.g. via a monotonically structurally decreasing requirement imposed at the type or value level). I don't think any mainstream language supports this out of the box. Liquid Haskell does offer this, though.

I agree that standard Haskell is inappropriate for safety critical software, but only because it allows dynamic allocation. Any program using dynamic allocation is probably unsuitable for safety critical software. Now, a terminating and fixed-memory subset of Haskell a la Clash would be interesting for safety critical software...
Should probably make an effortpost on this to explain what "low-level emulation" is. That said, I don't support the libretro effort.

The Nintendo 64 is an architecture composed of a 64-bit MIPS CPU, 4MB of memory, and, two chips for the GPU: the Reality Signal Processor (RSP), and the Reality Display Processor (RDP). The codename for the N64 was "Reality", and the system was co-developed by Nintendo and a small team at SGI.

The RSP is a programmable unit, while the RDP is a fixed-function unit that does rasterization, perspective texture mapping, and basic glTexEnv-style multitexturing.

When N64 emulators talk about "high-level" vs. "low-level", they're pretty exclusively talking about how the RSP is implemented. The RSP is programmable in that you can upload your own microcodes and provide your own instruction set in return. When an RSP emulator interprets these microcodes directly, it's "low-level". When an emulator author studies these microcodes, and then reimplements them in C/C++, this is "high-level".

There are around 15 microcodes in existence, the most common one being F3DEX2, which was the standard Nintendo-provided microcode which appeared a year after the system was released. You can see the instruction set of F3DEX2 here: http://wiki.cloudmodding.com/oot/F3DZEX

Very few developers wrote their own microcodes -- pretty much only Rareware and Factor 5 did their own thing. This is one reason why Rareware and Factor 5 games are harder to emulate.

Most emulators only implement low-level mode for compatibility and testing purposes, since it tends to be pretty slow. paraLLel uses Vulkan and Compute Shaders to run the RSP microcode on the GPU. I'm not convinced that's a good approach, but good on them for trying.
$200K is definitely considered middle class in the US, especially by the Democrats.

I think that has more to do with politics than economics. $250K is an income limit that is politically expedient.

To call yourself middle class when you're making 5x the media household income is kinda silly. And yes, I know many live in HCOL areas.

A lot of people who "make" $200K in gross income are often working jobs which require them to cover a lot of large expenses (such as vehicles/equipment) out-of-pocket, or are running their own businesses[2].

This doesn't make any sense to me. Your gross income is your gross income. Nobody reports what their business revenue is as gross income. You need to take out expenses first.
Not much, how 'bout you?

Forget learning to code: Every employee should know data analysis
I'm not sure how useful this is in practice. For example, addition in actual computer languages isn't necessarily associative and compilers often can't treat them as associative.

Floating point numbers added in the wrong order can result in catastrophic cancellation. So for example, as far as JavaScript is concerned, numbers aren't associative.

Integers may overflow. Twos-complement addition is associative, but only because if you get the same bogus answer in the case of overflow. If you actually detect overflow, you may get overflow or not depending on the order in which you add the numbers.

Oftentimes we ignore these issues, but it seems like if you're talking about taking advantage of associative rules to reorder calculations, you have to think about it. Thinking in terms of semigroups instead of concrete datatypes seems like a likely source of bugs when your model makes assumptions that aren't actually true.
I used to think this. I have exploits that I can make a ton of money off of (exploiting phone systems). The only issue is that in order to generate money, I need to do illegal things. To sell these exploits, I need to find a criminal buyer. It's like noticing that you can rob people by hacking their smart-lock. It's hard to out-pay criminal activity.

In this case, the attacker would be committing fraud by repeatedly causing calls. But they can probably get away with it. They'll just get cut off. Especially with premium ($0.50+) numbers from more exotic locales - it's too hard to chase people down and prove it. Heck, a US company I advised for lost $90K to a guy in Quebec and it was too hard to go bother going after him. We thought about it for about 30 minutes than just gave up.
The country as a whole -- by definition -- does get the average return. If you get an above-average return on your land value then somebody else has to get a below-average return, otherwise the average would be higher.

As an individual investor you probably don't care about other people's returns, but an economic analysis has to look at the average case and not at what lucky/sophisticated investors get.
> Well, it sort of works: massively increasing the wealth of any third world country

Things are more complicated in real world, because even if massive wealth is created (say, a boom of a certain industry), it doesn't necessarily go where it's supposed to.

Here [1] there is a real-world example of how, in a country with a strong mining industry, the "colonialists" get all the money, and the "colony" gets the crumbs (of course, that doesn't imply that this is always the case).

Whether you profit on land is less about the type of land and more about the location and what you do with it. Obviously, as a real estate investor, you know this. Buying a home in the 'burbs is often a terrible investment. These homes are not often built with old world craftsmanship or remarkable architecture and the land itself is usually nothing special. In twenty years, you'll end up with a dated, aging property, surrounded by other dated properties. The neighborhood may be treed but probably not with stately, slow-growing hardwoods.

Compare this with an established early 20th century neighborhood in the central part of a city. You have classic Craftsman architecture and homes built by people with real carpentry skills, using hardwoods, brick, stone, and other durable materials. These homes, properly maintained, will last another hundred years. Chances are (in 2016, anyway), it's a gentrified or gentrifying neighborhood. If you can pick up a home in this neighborhood, you've probably made a good investment.

The return on investment on a house is not just the cost of the house but also the rent money you have saved by staying in your own home. In fact without that you cant get +ve return even in upscale real estate investment.
This isn't true. You can get such numbers all over the world; some you can sign up for online and provide reasonably anonymity. You can make a lot money doing scammy-stuff and the risk of being prosecuted is pretty low. It's just not worth trying to go after some guy with an account with a telecom in Elbonia.

The cases of telecom fraud that I know of that were caught are usually due to incredible arrogance on the perpetrator's fault. In one case, he actually called the company he was attacking to gloat that they could never get him. (The company used a super-vulnerable-yet-expensive switch that literally had bugs like "&admin=1 gets superuser".) I've not seen a VoIP system that was remotely secure.
To follow up on this slightly, it's not really that this is special syntax. It's that map_err takes a function as an argument, and this is how you refer to this method by name.
