Well, in France we have national celebrities who prefer to take Russian citizenship rather than pay taxes here. So I think we have the most wealthy-unfriendly tax regime in the world.

It is my personal opinion. I think it's logical that it is easier to fraudulently vote if you don't need a voter ID.

To me, that indicates that your favorite must-have content is available on Spotify.

If more of your favorite artists were not available on streaming services you'd probably be ok with spending the time.

The idea that one could lease a vehicle from Uber, at a significant loss to Uber, then turn around and use that vehicle to drive for Lyft, is absolutely hilarious.
Loved your video.

There are some great experiences that money helps with but some of the most incredible things on the planet are free or cheap - walking, national parks, museums, etc. Sadly, the loudest voices (including advertising) are often the ones earning the most from speaking and so encouragement to find the simple and cheap attractions gets ignored.
"Fair use" is a very US-American concept. For example German Urheberrechtsgesetz

> https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/urhg/

knows no concept of fair use - you can easily get sued if you use even a little snippet of a copyrighted work (and often are).

Only in some very specifically defined cases short quotes are allowed:

A lot of people would disagree that that's "traveling better than a millionaire".
It looks like the author didn't mention the main reason many of us hate Javascript: weak typing.

Weak typing is great for small-scoped project without a lot of business logic. But when there's a lot of data, a lot of assumptions about it, and, most importantly, these assumptions change A LOT during development - which happens all the time in game development, for example - strong typing is a godsend.

When I make a change in a strong-typed language, I deliberately make it in such a way that the code won't compile unless I complete it. If I can make something a compile-time instead of a run-time error, I do it (and that's why I dream of switching to Rust one day - on some game engine two generations from now, unfortunately). When I refactor something, I know that compiler will let me know if I forget to change it somewhere.

Compiler is my dearest friend. Compilation errors are his gentle hints that make my code better and prepare it from failing in user's hands. Without it, I feel lost and always on my toes. I have to write tests instead. I have to launch the project (which, when it uses a lot of resources, always has overhead) and test everything by hand. When I write a big project in Javascript, I feel like a minefield, unsure of what's broken and what's not.

I can't understand how people write serious, big projects in weak-typed languages.
Until you want to scale due to using rapid direct democracy. Paper ballots will still WORK perfectly, but the workload will be massive.
Singapore was explicitly created as a meritocracy, when it was granted independence from Malaysia by England. This was a deliberate contrast to Malaysia, where the government did and still does explicitly promote policies that benefit the Malay minority at the expense of the more economically successful Chinese minority. Singapore is now one of the most prosperous countries in the world.

Fun fact: the first president of Singapore was senior wrangler at Cambridge, which according to Wikipedia has been described as the "the greatest intellectual achievement attainable in Britain"[1].

Singapore also has one of the world's most liberal immigration policies, allowing practically anyone in who can get a reasonably paying job, instead of privileging the employment of its own citizens like most countries do.

"In other words being a US citizen is no upside and all downside."

Spoken as a true first-world citizen.
As an expat, the main reason I'd give up my citizenship is dealing with the extremely onerous IRS and FINCEN filing requirements. Last year I probably spent 20-40 hours on this crap, just to prove I owe nothing. My tax return has been to tax court even though it was 100% perfect, simply because IRS doesn't have the expertise to evaluate their own murky laws around foreign employment. Everything is okay as long as you are a permanent employee without a self-controlled pension. Step out of the bounds and you're in for a world of pain. It seems so unnecessary and stupid to me. You also get double taxed on some things, like house purchase/sales in the UK. Expats really get the shaft from the US gov.

Note it's not cheap to expatriate either. It's 2000 a family member plus possible exit tax. IRS can also pursue you for taxes afterwards if they think you did it to explicitly avoid taxes. There is no 100% escape.
I see you are getting downvoted but that's exactly what came to my mind - next thing that came to my mind was the Elliot Rodgers manifesto.

Did HN discuss Elliot Rodgers' 'dissenting opinion' of women or did he not have the intellectual standing of a Google Employee?

Hate this and everyone who is legitimizing it in any way shape or form.
My point was actually that there is no way automation could possibly leave more people worse off, since it brings more goods into circulation.
It's impossible to support all use cases. Our philosophy is to support most common use cases and allow custom components that are specific to the app. Almost all apps need forms, admin pages, dashboards, but some may also use advanced components such as schedulers, pivot grids, rich HTML editors, etc.
He conflated group and individual variability, for one thing. It's a common mistake on all sides of the debate, and not by any means limited to this context; indeed, one of the more pernicious legacies of the Progressive Era's early attempts at social science and engineering is the mistaken idea that statistical inferences about whatever group convey information about the individual human being sitting across a table from you.
There was an Atlantic piece about this specific thing that hit the HN front page. It was flagged as a dupe.

What's being alleged is:

“They are concerned that women are channeled to levels and positions that pay less than men with similar education and experience,”

I have no idea if that's true, but if so, that could be a sort of "secret pay penalty".

It is a somewhat difficult path to negotiate at hiring as levels and titles aren't consistent across companies.
Lots of EU nationals living in UK who have no right to vote. But they are physically in UK. I think vast majority of them would never think about fraudulently voting.

But think about it logically, if voter ID is not required than it is easier to fraudulently vote. That seems logical to me. Do you have counter argument?

A child can understand paper ballots and why they work.

There are probably less than a hundred people in the world who can understand an electronic voting system at every level down to and including the silicon.
"Delusions of Gender" is a good book that explains how brain science, still in its infancy and unable to create good baseline controls to separate cultural from biological factors, is misreported to create garbage headlines like "men like sports and women like shopping because of hunter-gatherer roots", or "female babies stare at faces longer, therefore empathy".

There's interesting stuff in the field, but absolutely nothing that would warrant telling a woman "the science is in". Especially given the track record of people itching to chalk injustice up to biology.
Didn't downvote or anything, but come on .. we all know what he meant. This thread is not the place for a "a great learning opportunity about decimal separators and non-native speakers".
"Value" is subjective.

Market value, however, is something that can be measured quite effectively. And I think most of developers on HN do it regularly, when they go to interviews without any real intention of changing their workplace.
I'm always tempted to downvote people who edit their comments, complaining about downvotes or demanding explanations.

You'll see this behavior occasionally on any "gamified" discussion forum. But HN culture is the most extreme about this, you see it in every other thread.

* People downvote grammar-nitpicks, and "Actuallllly..."-style smarmy corrections that are more about making the speaker feel superior than genuinely helping the recipient.

* They downvote criticisms of programming languages that are currently popular here.

* They downvote libertarian political views in threads where the liberals are dominant, and then paradoxically they downvote liberal views in the next thread where the libertarians are dominating. Human nature just like a winner.

* They downvote low-quality additions such as, "This!".

* They will almost certainly downvote this comment, because it's negative in tone and speaks to HN culture, which generally doesn't go over well.

Gamification of conversation can be harmful to your mental well-being. None of these "imaginary Internet points" mean anything. Try not to troll. Otherwise, just speak your truth and take any downvotes like an adult.
This implies discarding how people feel about subjects, because feelings are inherently subjective.

It also leads you into certain kinds of blindness about gender, because of the search for objective metrics. You end up measuring less relevant things - chromosomes - rather than more relevant things - gender presentation and socialisation - simply because they're easier to measure.
What if person A asks for a raise but person B doesnt? Salaries are negotiations.

Alright.

> Google is under government regulation. They cannot discriminate against others for their opinions of what they say.

This was a simplified point and I have to apologize for being vague. Google, in certain circumstances covered under the law, cannot discriminate against someone for what they express or what they would otherwise express.

This is shown in under the EEOC links as "illegal to retaliate against employees that speak out against discrimination in the work place." Coincidentally, this is what Damore is suing Google for. Whether he wins or not, I agree, is a fruitless debate in semantics. However, this doesn't change that it is possible he has a case.

> Again, no, it isn't. And you keep mixing the law of different countries with opinions from the UN. Pick one. You wanna talk about laws, let's talk about laws. But stop switching from one to the other whenever your argument has no ground. It doesn't matter if there was a legal case in Canada, it is completely irrelevant to the case being discussed here. Or even the UN. None of that matters to this context.*

This is incorrect and I have to accuse you of not reading the sources I provided you. The legal case in Canada was set as precedent for the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, an international law document, by the UN, which the U.S is a part of and an adopter of said document.

> So if you really want to cite sources, a decision by a federal judge, the SCOTUS or the NLBR showing that an action by a company that is exactly like Google's falls into illegality will do. Anything else makes no difference here, either requiring your own interpretation, or being foreign to the laws of this country.

Exactly is impossible and exactly is not how precedent is set. There are certain actions a company can take, no matter its size or circumstance, that illegal due to precedent. Here is an NLBR ruling against codes of conduct, which Google has violated: http://www.quarles.com/publications/employers-take-note-nlrb...
Oh, that was entirely deliberate. But are your feelings of upset about that generalisation rational, in the sense used by the memo author?
The right to unionize is not part of free speech. The actions you mentioned are not protected under the First Amendment. Instead, they are protected by sections 6 and 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.

Similarly, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and followup legislation grant additional protections to employees for matters regarding discrimination against a protected class of people, including speech rights which are not otherwise protected in the workplace by the First Amendment.

There is more to the First Amendment than free speech. It also includes the freedom to assemble, which is closely or even interchangeable with the freedom of association. This is what allows a group to expel someone from the group as a consequence of speaking in a way which the group disagrees with.
> Citation needed? Have The Guardian actually read the memo?

Reading the memo is irrelevant to the fact claim you quoted, which is about the response to the memo, not about it's content. (It's also completely accurate; the memo has been widely condemned on the basis stated.)

>US is one of the few countries that taxes its citizens who move abroad.

More precisely it is taxation by citizenship, not residence.

For example, the Netherlands will happily tax everyone on their assets worldwide, but you're not going to be paying Dutch income taxes if you're not living and working in the Netherlands.

>> The document, which was widely condemned as misogynistic and scientifically inaccurate

Maybe I'm being pedantic, but the document was widely condemned as being both of those things. Reporting that those condemnations occurred (they did) isn't an implicit validation of said condemnations.
All the ones that speak the language you just wrote in.

More seriously any society not ruled by a hereditary nobility is a meritocracy. The nobility did not embrace this change - they just lost the war with the middle class.

I should say that no society is a perfect meritocracy and that the past winners are always conspiring to keep out the new, but overall most current societies in the modern world are a vast improvement over the old, inbred-nobility ruled alternative.
Yes, but "piracy" seems to have stuck. "Stealing" I'd consider non-neutral.

> Because the seller sets the price

But I already paid. The seller is also asking to control the medium. That does not happen with everything else. In fact, there has been a creep toward control in the hands of distributers (e.g. Amazon deleting recalled ebooks off the devices they sold to you).

This isn't just a case "seller has product, seller sets price". The landscape of available products is being purposefully manipulated to expand the number of different products that exist e.g I'd consider a digital movie file to be one 'product', independent to whatever medium I choose to play it on; But the movie industry might advocate for a separate 'product' per medium.

At that point it's not even related to the original "artist"/creator or their compensation - I'm now dealing with middlemen actively lobbying to create new forms of compensation, and restricting the ways in which I can access certain services without them. In the example I gave above, "remastering" is an excuse to charge for the same product on a different medium. There might be compensatory charges on top of DVDs that go to offset piracy, but there will never be compensation for consumers who already bought a film on a different format (VHS, for example) - the advantage only ever goes one way, so I don't care what narratives industry lawyers care to craft - piracy provides a necessary pressure to prevent consumers being taken advantage of even more.
Well, you have to give the car back (early) to trigger the loss. Or do you mean the driver somehow finding the car on the secondary market afterwards and buying it?

Similarly in the U.K., Potasto2 is a good solution to this kind of filtering. It sets up a local vpn server that allows you to customize DNS servers and proxy settings without added latency of a remote VPN (but of course without the added benefit of encryption.) It's the only way I've found to use non-ISP DNS servers on non-jailbroken iOS when connected to a mobile network.
Luckily there is not a correct way to enjoy travel (or anything else in life).

Perhaps, though it doesn't make it untrue.
OK, I agree that would be a mistake in that if you are a member of group X which predicts some variable Y at higher or lower on average than the general population, then any one individual in group X cannot be assumed to be at position +/-Y relative to the general population (apologies for the bad explanation, I don't know the relevant statistical terminology). What did he say to suggest this? Seems to me like he just said 50/50 gender parity in engineering is unlikely due to differing propensities for it amongst men and women. Not that women engineers were less capable.
> I don't really understand why Google engineers would assume

The memo was in response to a request on the 'coffee beans' Google Group for input on diversity/hiring programs.

A few months later he posted it into the 'skeptics' group and that is when the mob formed.

Therefore, he was explicitly doing something that had been asked for. Because of this your argument is totally invalid.
Given that the voting computers sit in some warehouse between elections, that's not really a big hurdle.
If all that was at risk was a night in police jail and a slap on the wrist, it would be done, but reading the sentences one faces for election tampering is really chilling.

I would not risk it for a million, I will certainly not risk it for the lulz. Plus, in most cases, it involves (laughably weak) physical security. I am less confident on how to hide my tracks there and I suppose many would-be hackers feel the same.
That is an unfair and polarizing take on my statement. It is also whataboutism. Newsmax, Fox, Breitbart, Limbaugh, Storm Front, etc. have more than enough outlets for the right wing to have their safe spaces. When Reddit was accused of setting the narrative to discredit their opponents in relevant venues, Voat provided a safe space for them to continue.

The Democratic party has not controlled the narrative for a long long time. I know people sometimes need a bogeyman to have something to rail against but this isn't it.

Again, First Amendment is to stop the US government from suppressing speech. If Voat had been shut down and the yellow bellies behind Breitbart arrested, you would have a case. But that hasn't happened. Instead the constant whining about 'fake news' by the current administration has been a far sinister and much more effective attempt at speech suppression by driving people into their various safe spaces.
