Serious question, have you really interacted with anyone who pretends that immigration law doesn't exist? Or are you using that as an uncharitable re-phrasing of the more likely attitude that immigration law as it currently exists should not be enforced in all cases? Because the first one isn't a mainstream viewpoint in the US, and the second one is mainstream in many countries.

I think this is a case of different 'cultures' on HN clashing.

On the one hand I completely understand your point, and from the perspective of one 'culture' it feels like a waste of time and instead we should focus on 'getting things done' and 'making an impact' (in the shape of a successful business or whatnot).

But on the other hand, one of the main reasons I love HN is that there are still plenty of posts that are just about hacking/tinkering, without concern for 'usefulness' and 'purpose'. In fact, more effort put into something as silly as possible often makes the whole thing even more delightful.

Personally I try to focus on the latter as long as I can afford it. While I really appreciate the startup advice and 'useful' stuff, a few years ago I developed a burnout that, in hindsight, was caused in part by the fact that I stopped being able to just enjoy things for their own sake.

I noticed this same thing happen to friends of mine (without the burnout, usually): in our twenties we often wanted to do cool stuff together because it was cool, even though we really needed money! But then, in our late twenties, it all became about whether we could make money from an idea or whether the idea was 'useful' by some other metric, despite the fact that we actually had enough money finally to not be in survival mode anymore.

For me one of the best improvements to my life (and stress levels) has been to try and bring more of that 'silliness' in my life. And judging by the people I admire, that seems like a good approach to life in general. And already now I notice how my 'silly' explorations actually end up providing tons of benefit for my 'career'.

Nah that kind of view is just naive. First I don't think a simple moniker of "oppressive regime" makes any sense except for political propaganda purposes. If you say China is an oppressive regime so is the US, and the US might be even more of a state basically based on slavery really.

Second, the truth is the capitalism in China is even wilder and more libertarian in a sense than that in the US. It's just that the central authority still acts quickly enough. The rich people are still basically in the same bunch, whether it's the officials or the businessmen, and the gap between the rich and poor is widening ridiculously fast.

It's absolutely an accurate statement that for some people, pets are as important as their family, or pets are their family.

For various reasons, me and my SO will never be able to have kids. The dogs are our family.

That said, we're responsible pet owners. We don't pretend they're service dogs. We'll take the dogs to pet friendly venues but we won't bend the rules and take them places that we should not.

Replying to the parent comment, it's important to remember that not everyone has the same family situation.

I recently dealt with restoring a rented two-storey house owned by my girlfriend which was rented out to a couple owning five cats.

One of the cats was old and infirm and peed repeatedly indoors on carpeted floor. The smell was horrendous. I can't see how the tenant lived with it.

We replaced a large proportion of the carpet throughout the house.

The deposit covered the costs only because we carried out the work ourselves as part of a larger renovation project in advance of selling.

If we had gone down a more hands-off approach followed by investment-focused landlords, the costs would easily have exceeded the rental deposit which would have resulted in the need to sue the previous tenant.

That's a whole lot of effort to go to for a landlord and I can see how a landlord would choose to avoid pet owners given the option.
In the US business owners can contribute far more tax free to their 401k up to $50k a year. This and other tax writeoffs can skew in favor of a small business greatly over a job. However I agree most people aren't able to do the small business

> Learning to approach arguments with the mindset of "even if I'm right, the best outcome is that we both come out of this altercation with a mutual understanding", is much more important than "winning" an argument, and I don't believe that concept can be misconstrued.

Oh yes, oh god yes it can. I'd argue that it's misconstrued often.

I think your example is a good one. It is not at all clear to me that "I understand how this could make my partner uncomfortable, so how do I communicate that understanding and alleviate any doubt" is better, though it might be -- everything depends on your goals and values and true feelings about the situation.

If you think their discomfort is reasonable, or reassuring them isn't go to make you resentful, then by all means do it.

But maybe their reaction, in this particular circumstance, strikes you as absurdly childish. Maybe it deeply bothers you, and your respect for your partner is in peril. Maybe reassuring them would make you lose respect for yourself. If that's the case, you sure as hell better have it out with them.

If you fail to communicate how you really feel, you're going to do some serious harm to the relationship. Be generous and understanding when you can, but make damn sure your choice to be understanding isn't an excuse to avoid tough conflicts.
Every "bet" consideration needs to include possible loss, not only the odds. Losing your child is for many people not that far off from losing their own life, so people tend to react in a very cautious way.
Not sure in Canada, but in US you can incorporate same day in most states. You literally goto an office and stand in line behind plumbers and other contract works for 20min, fill one form and your done. Even turbo tax can ha dale basic business taxes so this is not a problem either

Well this is really the same for all kinds of libertarian/capitalist regimes. Branding China as an "oppressive regime" is really just political propaganda speech. If you say China is an oppressive regime so is US, and the US might be even more of a slave state really.

China nowadays has even more reckless capitalism than that in the US, and the gap between the rich and the poor is expanding incredibly fast.

In many OECD countries, if you, a resident of a state, incorporates a company in another state, and you control that company from your home country, your company in the foreign jurisdiction will be deemed a resident in your home country and require tax returns in your home country. I am perplexed by the number of people setting up businesses outside their country, not realizing the numerous disclosures and extremely complicated tax planning that comes with it.

This goes further to all the bias perpetuation engines that the players (size immaterial!) from our software industry are peddling around as a silver bullet.

That's just naive and wishful thinking. The brand of capitalism in China is more reckless than that in the US and the business interests are really interwined with the government policies. It's just that the government still has a bit more of a final say but that doesn't mean the rich politicians and businessmen aren't in the same boat.

> I just wish that my friend who took her “emotional support animal” on the airplane believed that she was, on average, making several people on each flight sick as a trade off.

Citation needed here. Don't get me wrong - I'm severely allergic to cats and I've had my share of issues when encountering them while traveling, but my gut tells me "several people on each flight" is a bit of an exaggeration. Happy to be proven wrong.

This is a really tough thing. On the one hand, as someone who has suffered from allergies since I was a kid, it'd be great if I encountered the things I'm most allergic to less often. However, it's also not fair or reasonable to think that the rest of society needs to do something about my personal health issues.

I also grew up with a shellfish allergy and carried an epipen for most of my life. But the responsibility has always been on me (and my parents earlier on) to make sure I take steps to not get sick.

I fail to understand why people object so much to enforcing border policies now days.

I feel bad for any children impacted, but their parents chose to illegally immigrate. It sucks they are punished for it, but enforcing the law to preserve the way of life for its legal citizens should be a governments top priority.

Legal immigration options exist, and legal immigrantz amd refugees should be welcomed with open arms. But if you don't take those options or don't meet the criteria you can't complain you aren't able to stay.

OK, so the article claims Kaspersky developed software that FSB uses and helped them to do whatever they do. Now, how evil is that?

Well, I may have developed software that FSB uses too. I don't know for sure, but I participated in a number of widely used open source projects, and given how big FSB is, it's not impossible somebody somewhere there uses one of them. Thus, I apparently am kinda Russian spy?

Also, Kaspersky cooperated with FSB in their enforcement activities. Nothing US security company would ever do, I mean cooperating with law enforcement? Are you kidding me?! OK, FSB is not you common law enforcement. Probably not all of these activities are what we'd call good, and some of them what we'd call pure evil. But using somebody's technical expertise does not automatically make all products by that company somehow insecure. If they specifically did the evil stuff - yes, maybe - but then dig up which stuff they did and show the specifics! So far the only specific activity mentioned was fighting DDoSers, which is not exactly evil.[1]

I mean, maybe Kaspersky is a Kremlin puppet. Or maybe not. I have no slightest idea. Maybe it's a good idea not to use software from the company which is in a total grasp (as any company in Russia) of a large geopolitical foe for critical infrastructure. Certainly sounds like a good idea. But this article spends so much text on not adding anything to this obvious idea but vague innuendo and describing common things in menacing tone. Very common to the general journalistic treatment of the Red Scare 2.0 we're observing right now and it gets more tiresome by the day. I'm not even defending Kaspersky here, I am defending minimal standards in reporting tech stuff.

Under Russian tax law, a company is a tax resident in Russia if (a) it is incorporated in Russia, (b) its management and central control are in Russia, or (c) if a treaty deems it to be in Russia. Estonia has no tax treaty with Russia, so (c) is not relevant. In your case, (a) is also not relevant. Point (b) is more interesting: do you live in Russia and exercise management of your Estonian company in Russia?

If yes, then you own a Russian-resident company and Russian corporate tax law is applicable. You are required to prepare financial statements and file corporate tax returns in Russia. Presumably there's also many foreign ownership disclosure requirements.

Please consider discussing your case with a tax advisor if you have not already done so. I would never ever easily recommend a citizen of an OECD country incorporate a company overseas without first thoroughly researching disclosure requirements and tax law. Please be careful as tax laws generally are of the "go straight to jail" type.

I wish this Estonian e-residency program would contain more warnings in red about the significant impact such a foreign company will have on a shareholder. This applies to Atlas as well--non-US-residents need to be extremely careful with US corporations as there's a good chance they will not actually be resident in the US.

I don't host anything controversial, but I also don't want to worry about my infrastructure providers deciding to take down my site arbitrarily. Especially when they have the ability to potentially seize my domains.

Please don't turn this into a political discussion. I don't care about the politics of the site(s) that have been taken down. I just want some recommendations for providers that don't have CEOs who will unilaterally take down websites based on their own political views.

Thank you.

Oh yeah, you're right.

Another thing I've done that will work if you have a lot of strcat(), is make a string struct:

ktString {
int len;
int memlen;
char *str;
}

It keeps track of the string's actual length, and the size of the underlying buffer. Then you can 'override' the various string functions:

bool ktStrcat(ktString s1, ktString s2);
bool ktSprintf(ktString s1, ...);

These functions will take care of buffer-size checking, and reallocation if necessary. For cases where you need to interface with pre-existing libraries, you can return a cstring(). Make it a function/macro to enable you to change the struct definition in the future:

#define ktCstr(x) (x)->str

then you can pass it into write() or whatever you need:

write(sock, ktCstr(s), s->len);
