Amazon Citizenship:

1) They setup an offshore corporation for you in a low tax jurisdiction and give you payment processors to take checks and credit cards over the internet. Every few years, they move all of these corps en masse to lower tax jurisdictions, if any. More efficient competition among tax regimes. Amazon will file all pertinent taxes and paperwork and connects to your quickbooks to make that even easier.

2) They provide a phone number to an Amazon Embassy hotline. If you are ever captured by anyone and local authorities cannot help, call this number and Amazon PR will lobby for your rapid release and return to safety through aggressive social media outreach. They will also setup a gofundme page for you to cover legal expenses, etc.

3) Give up your American citizenship (if any) so you no longer have to pay taxes in the US while not living or working in the US.

4) Amazon World Citizen Passport

So you can work, maybe get some physical/political help if that's needed, and travel freely. What else is there?

The cost? 5% of your income.

Traditional governments would ideally end up selling physical living permits, allowing you to live physically in a given country/area/union, keeping the rest of their tax laws intact for anyone still incorporating or working within the given country. IE, no existing laws really need to change. The price of these permits ends up being a function of location desirability, access to services, and relative guarantees of physical safety. The job of governments becomes to improve each of these variables.
Nope, not physical addiction like with tobacco. There are many addictive things in tobacco products, but nicotine is not one of those.
Yeah the problem is that some of them don't allow you to do this anymore.

Overall I've started to buy B&W only laser printers and I buy a new printer when the toner runs out.

You can find Samsung entry level laser printers with a toner good for 300-500 pages on Amazon for about 30£ on sale that's cheaper than buying a toner.

1st world problems for sure but this is beyond stupid.
Actually, the middle-click is hijacked only for the main page.
Hmm, Still looks like it has the 32M (IIRC) partition limit. There are GSOS drivers to work around this, but not for generic 8-bit prodos (AFAIK).

Frankly, the II line was always slow moving (the IIE was sold commercially longer than any other computer without any significant upgrades). Which is why was such a great learning computer, there were only a couple models, very well documented, and hacked on to uncover every tiny little trick/edge case. Now days, I look at 6502 assembly and wonder how I managed to get anything done with such a restrictive stack/etc.
Just bookmarked both sites! Thanks :). Always looking for more material while driving, and podcasts are too hit or miss for me these days.

Would love the ability to search through these materials that are audio only.
Thanks for sharing! Is there anything like Anki out there, but it's a SaaS product and available both on my phone and on the web?

You mean LRO instead of GRO, right?
I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I'm just expressing surprise that someone seemed to think that Greenwald wasn't always extremely political.
This is a perfect example of why we need healthy competition in the CPU market.

Stalin grew up in a rigidly religious family, which extended to his early education.

He was clearly psychotic, was beaten as a child, and maybe not even an atheist as an adult, who can say.

Atheism...if you take it to imply a purely materialistic worldview, doesn't preclude mass murder...these are just organic forms that no longer perform certain functions. Since there is no god there is no eternal punishment, nor is there even any requirement that you assume others cherish their lives as you do yours. Indeed, a purely materialistic view might hold that mass murder was an inevitable outcome for Stalin (free will being a theistic construct). As an atheist I accept this as one interpretation of atheism...it's not mine, but we have no Pope to dictate beliefs (and yes, atheism is also a belief system). Richard Dawkins is no more an authority on atheism than anyone else

This is why we have a criminal justice system instead of just leaving punishment to a deity...to prevent people from reaching and acting on the potential logical outcomes of a vacuum. Stalin basically had no authority beyond himself and he pursued one possible course of action one could in that situation, there was nothing to stop him from acting on his impulses and becoming one of history's most prolific mass murderers

Is our position any loftier in a rational sense? I destroyed a parade of ants in my garage last week. I scrubbed my cutting board with bleach. Where is the line?
Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to improve on this.
So you only drive on toll roads and went to a private school?
I think most of us consider releasing a simple project to others who turn it into something amazing to be pretty great. HTH.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the job of the press was merely to bring relevant information to the masses?

I started to freelancing in a similar way a year ago, but I still keep my side project :) Actually it is a good way to have time for your side project
Well, yes. FWIW, I wasn't disputing anything you said, just providing additional context.
From the README:

"I have already tried SoundCloud, I have created a website, I have uploaded lyrics to Genius, and have even had some traction talking to the good nerds at HN. But, as a tinkerer, I still wasn't satisfied. This album is by essence a big challenge to the status quo..."

I can see how you might think you've created a "world's first" if your concept of music distribution is SoundCloud, websites and Genius. But I think you would very much enjoy learning how wrong you are in this case, since there is a huge world of generative / procedural / computer / algorithmic waiting for you. Here are some random points of interest:

Except: it seems unlikely to me that Al Jazeera English is hosted in the US, which would mean a DMCA request is not legally binding for them.

Technically, and as a layman, I'd say a DMCA takedown would never be binding, because that's a provision intended for public online service providers like ISPs and website hosting platforms. Al Jazeera, as author and editor of their own site, does not qualify for the Safe Harbor protection, and can be sued outright by the aggrieved party, even if they did take down the article in response to the request.
New (taller) turbines do significantly better than 30% capacity factors. The weighted average for 2014 vintage projects was above 40% with individual projects exceeding 50%.

Big companies can get away with all kinds of "fecal production" in the US. We're not yet China or Mexico, but we sure as hell ain't the EU, either.

All your legislative bases are belong to us, or some such rot.
Obviously it is not. You can read my question as how long did it take you to get enough traction in your side project to became a full time job. And still the answer will vary depend on how much do you spend in your side project, the market, your goals, etc. I hope no one decides to go full time with their pet projects because of the time they have spent on them!
Thats not how it works though. It's just called luck.
If 90 out of 100 people will do correct commits and not fuck things up in various ways (from inserting a backdoor to just breaking code), then you've 90% chance that 1 person you give commit access to will not do anything wrong.

Are you willing to bet your 10% bad luck on this though? What if its not 10%? How much chance, when 1 become 1 000?

Now that is more like it.
Yes. I was deploying our system in a physician's clinic when their HP printer suddenly refused to print with a cryptic error, even after all the toner was replaced it refused. Only when I stepped in & suggested they buy the brand name ink did things get resolved. Lucky for the busy clinic, they only had 1 HP printer.

I hope HP faces some major lawsuits over this.
I'll agree with "ignominious".
We do but they are awful and flawed...Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk etc...we revere the rich as if they were gods. I would not be surprised if John Gruber has prayed to Steve at least once.
> I'm really shocked how many people here are blaming the victim here...

Welcome to Hacker News.
I bought a cheap no branded Chinese black and white only laser printer for $15. Best printer I've ever owned. It just... Prints! The firmware is totally unobtrusive and no problems with non branded toner. It prints whatever I ask it to print and that's it!

Unless you are running a business a couple hundred dollars is way too much to pay for printing once in a while. A consumer printer should not cost hundreds of dollars.
Quizlet, but I personally still use Anki because it's free and it works on my phone.
> This kind of sensitive awareness and idealism makes them more likely to ask themselves difficult questions about the nature and purpose of their lives and the lives of those around them. They become keenly aware of their smallness in the larger picture of existence, and they feel helpless to fix the many problems that trouble them. As a result, they become depressed.

Psilocybin mushrooms have a similar effect, however ironically I have used those experiences as a way of dealing with existential depression. Rather than coming away feeling "helpless to fix the many problems" I feel more like I've shed the weight of those problems.
Nobody should review a product with which they do not have personal experience, even if the website isn't verifying purchases. If reviews are to be useful they must not be subject to crowd mentalities. They should be limited to actual users. We are free to scream about how what they are doing is evil, and get that to the top of google, but I would never submit a review of a product that I do not have hands on. The only honest 'review' is to not purchase the product.
Direct Direct Memory Access? That's pretty direct.
Really? Some people report being addicted to nicotine patches. I don't believe anybody.
Very sensible point.

But I would emphasize that in order to justify the value of intuition in this case, you had to resort to reason as well as anthropology and evolutionary biology. That last one in particular most especially is the product of rational empiricism.

So again it appears we can only trust intuition if we can rationally prove that trust is justified.

Do you have a source for this? It was my understanding that the program was being undermined by landlords illegally refusing to accept the rental vouchers, banking on the city being lax in its enforcement. A pretty good calculation given how in bed with the real estate industry every mayoral administration has been, even an ostensibly liberal one like DeBlasio's (see the recent Rivington housing scandal).

Seems to me housing first doesn't work in New York because the politics around telling real estate are more corrupt.

I said my dose was 30mg bid - twice per day.

The other part of it was the physician was quite literally, old - and I questioned his ability to practice medicine at that point -- the same guy prescribed methadone to a friend of mine for migraines.

I've never heard of anyone else being prescribed Desoxyn.

A Practical Guide for Docker
To play the devil's advocate here: this entire article rests on the assumption that the only way public interest could be served by exposing a government program is if that secret program is criminal. But this isn't true - the public's interest could be served even if the program is not criminal. So in my view, Washington Post is not being inconsistent - it is taking the view that while it PriSM was not criminal program, it was in the public's interest to know that it exists.

A lot of times we seem to confuse 'is illegal' with 'should be illegal' - these are very different concepts. Washington Post did not necessarily take the position that PriSM was illegal in their articles, they merely supposed it was in the public's interest to know about it. Presumably to have a public debate about whether it should be illegal.

Somebody mentioned Brother printers elsewhere.

I replaced my HP laser with a Brother laser a while back (just printing "stuff", not photos)

I replaced my black cart on the HP (2600n) with a 3rd party product, and got away with it. However, when I replaced the color carts (one ran out), which I was forced to, since it wouldn't print B&W at all otherwise, the printer detected the alien carts, and immediately refused to clean itself or something - I started getting black streaks on my black text, even though the black cart worked just fine for months the day before.

Bye bye, HP, you ain't what you used to be.
Ask HN: Moving to US from the UK
I'm wondering if anyone has done this before and can share any tips? What to look out for? What expenses would I have that differs to the UK?

I'm currently living and working in London, have a wife and child. My company has an office in Newport Beach and is looking to relocate me there; so this is less about VISA, but more about lifestyle, tax etc.

Appreciate your help as always

Ask HN: What's the next big thing that will exceed hiring capacity?
The current big thing seems to be machine learning. In 2010 I assumed self-driving cars or beating a Go grandmaster wouldn't even be a consideration until maybe 2030. I don't think I was alone. But it has happened, and now everyone is studying/hiring machine learning.

What's next?

the ability for employees to be granted equity and put off paying taxes until they decide to sell said equity would be a good start.

They can - that's what early exercise is. If you exercise on the day you are granted the options (not they day they vest - the day you join the company) your spread is zero, so your tax liability on that is zero.

Of course, you still have to pay the strike price out of pocket, but the IRS doesn't take anything (yet).
>> "it is taking the view that while it PriSM was not criminal program, it was in the public's interest to know that it exists"

How did you get to that conclusion? To me it reads that they thought PRISM was not criminal AND not in the public's interest.

"...the Post suggests, there was no public interest whatsoever in revealing any of the other programs. In fact, they say, real harm was done by their exposure. That includes PRISM"

So essentially the public did not need to know about PRISM and Snowden should not have made information about it public - when it wasn't Snowden, it was WaPo that made it public. They're shifting the blame. Initially they thought it was in the public interest so they printed it. Now they're saying it was not in the public interest.
You absolutely should have included that detail in your article. It completely changes the story and it's highly unethical to exclude it.

It's still wrong for Al Jazeera to use your code without licensing it, but you need to let your readers have all the facts. Without that detail, I was rather curious why de volkskrant wasn't also upset.
You're the kind of blathering know-it-all loudmouth that enhances existential depression.

I agree. And I should add that Amazon is positioned to become the one global infrastructure layer in multiple areas. And despite Walmart's questionable labor practices, it remains the only viable opposition to Amazon's dominance in ecommerce. We don't know yet what Amazon would do if it achieves world domination and becomes the one button for everything but it's equally questionable labor practices don't leave me with much hope.
I can't speak for the others but let me list some things I think we usually find in the top 5: Facebook, email, Messenger/WhatsApp/equivalent, Instagram, Snapchat, games, browser etc. The study lumps all those together which is not relevant to this discussion. The point is that people are mainly using their devices as computers, not phones.

Do you disagree with this?

for example if you search for something on google, you get a preview in a box of the main info with a link to the original article (e.g. on wikipedia, imdb etc depending on what you search for), in most cases you no longer need to visit the original link.

That's a high dose, but not unusually or dangerously high (depending on what condition was being treated, since you didn't specify).

I'm surprised that you were able to obtain Desoxyn given that - it's usually tried as a 'last resort' medication, partially because doctors are hesitant to prescribe something that's under even more scrutiny than other Schedule II drugs.

Was in the process of typing this exact response. Aqueous, I think you misread a bit. WaPo is trying to claim that exposing PRISM served no public interest while simultaneously publishing the information about PRISM. Whether the program is illegal or not is irrelevant -- that's grossly hypocritical behavior.
Amazon definitely has a significant problem with selling both dangerous products and counterfeit products. The move to paid listings has exacerbated a long standing problem with poor quality and fake products (not counterfeit but things such as "Egyptian cotton" sheets that are neither.) There is a big incentive to try to become as government friendly as possible.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22998852

BACKGROUND:

Happiness and higher intelligent quotient (IQ) are independently related to positive health outcomes. However, there are inconsistent reports about the relationship between IQ and happiness. The aim was to examine the association between IQ and happiness and whether it is mediated by social and clinical factors. Method The authors analysed data from the 2007 Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey in England. The participants were adults aged 16 years or over, living in private households in 2007. Data from 6870 participants were included in the study. Happiness was measured using a validated question on a three-point scale. Verbal IQ was estimated using the National Adult Reading Test and both categorical and continuous IQ was analysed.

RESULTS:

Happiness is significantly associated with IQ. Those in the lowest IQ range (70-99) reported the lowest levels of happiness compared with the highest IQ group (120-129). Mediation analysis using the continuous IQ variable found dependency in activities of daily living, income, health and neurotic symptoms were strong mediators of the relationship, as they reduced the association between happiness and IQ by 50%.

CONCLUSIONS:

Those with lower IQ are less happy than those with higher IQ. Interventions that target modifiable variables such as income (e.g. through enhancing education and employment opportunities) and neurotic symptoms (e.g. through better detection of mental health problems) may improve levels of happiness in the lower IQ groups.
