I didn't mean I want to save the planet, I just meant, why bring another life into this miserable planet knowingly and intentionally?

it's about doing something meaningful with your life

This is what I don't understand. Kudos to those who do something meaningful with their life - but why should I do it too? What if I am perfectly happy watching Netflix and sleeping 14 hours a day?
Yeah, that's a fascinating technical question if someone were to try for a "car for life" model. My college car was still driving fine when I sold it (at about 13 years in its life and something less that 70k miles), but the interior plastics were deteriorating faster than I would have expected to the point where pliers were needed to be used to adjust the a/c as the knobs broke off and probably the window cranks were about to follow.

The other side of it too is accidents are likely to always be an issue with cars (even in a world of self-driving cars, I suspect), and there are plenty of other safety reasons cars shouldn't be expected to be driven for too many years without replacement.
Would you then suggest holding their hand on a hot thing (hot enough to be uncomfortable, not cause injury), so that they know what hot means?

On the one hand it isn't far from smacking, on the other, it isn't a punishment as such.

From the article:

> It's important to note that people's desire to migrate is typically much higher than their intention to do so -- as such, it is unlikely that Americans will be flocking to the Canadian border. In fact, since Trump's election, Canadian statistics show only a modest uptick in the number of Americans who have moved to Canada.
>Money gave me stability.

The lows are very different when you have money and when you don't have money.

When you are struggling financially and a single event (e.g. car breaking down) can spiral into wrecking your entire life, you it's hard to "let go" of that.

When you are financially stable there are a lot of frustrations (e.g. work stress) you can learn to cope with, control, or let go of.
The vast majority of people don't own a boat though ... and it's not like ICE sedans are any good at towing either.

Also, how sure are you that EVs are bad at towing? Don't they have lots of low-end torque? The Model X apparently has the highest towing capacity of any passenger vehicle. Beyond that you'd need a bigger truck anyway.
I generally support Brexit, but I'm guessing for reasons much different than yours (I always favor decentralization as a way of increasing the power of the average citizen relative to their government). Maybe we agree?

> UK will go from #5 down to 7 for sure.

Mostly because of India's growth. So what? It's GDP we're talking about, a largely meaningless indicator nowadays.

UK is #27 in GDP (PPP) per capita rankings. India is #122.

Is it better to live in an economy with large GDP or better purchasing power? Is India somehow better off than the UK once it overtakes it by GDP due to population growth?
> combined with recent evidence suggesting that a good chunk, say half, of the population has no interest in progressing

Different people have different definitions of "progress". Your definition of progress might not align with mine. That doesn't mean I am not interested in progress, just that I believe we should be progressing in a different (possibly even diametrical) direction than you believe we should be progressing.

we are in complete agreement that the road damage caused by sedans is negligible. I said in my very first post: "any sedan is going to do negligible damage compared to a large truck."

I am only trying to clarify a couple specific points. the first is that EVs really do weigh a good bit more than comparable ICE vehicles. how much of a problem this is depends on the conversation you are having. and since you mentioned it, I also would like to point out that, as defined by the EPA in the US, curb weight does include a tank of gas filled to the advertised capacity.

My first thought was Asia.
Maybe not directly, but that's the cause. Most people want to live somewhere clean, with low crime, good infrastructure, and jobs. Most cities have tax-funded programs for all of those things. If they aren't on par, then there's two culprits: a) not enough tax dollars, b) taxes aren't being used effectively. Personally, I think it's almost always the latter. You can look at the historical effectiveness of most programs, and coincidentally, they seem to get less effective as more money becomes available.
I find it interesting how many comments here and on other sites that linked the same article talk about this being tied to concerns around how their tax dollars are spent. It seems many people are not aware that the US is one of only two countries which taxes it's citizens no matter where they reside. Leaving the US is not enough if you wish to avoid taxation, you must also acquire citizenship in another country, and then renounce your US citizenship. Both of those things are much more difficult than they appear at first glance, and renouncing US citizenship has extremely broad and far-reaching consequences.

Someone who has renounced their US citizenship is forever barred from ever getting citizenship, and their children are typically also barred from getting citizenship. In addition, they will pretty much always be denied a visa for entry, and they are ineligible for visa at arrival, and may have difficulty to get even pre-applied visas for visiting such as B-1/B-2.

If you decide to emigrate elsewhere and renounce your US citizenship to avoid paying taxes, you basically give up on ever coming back to the US ever, and you'll be watched like a hawk by every single US ally. Denouncing your citizenship is a pretty radical move and is something that hallmarks you as the type of person who might go join ISIS or something.

This is one reason why it doesn't matter how many people say they want to leave the US, almost none of them actually do it permanently. No matter what, you'll be paying taxes to build bombers, so you might as well enjoy the much higher quality of life on offer in the US while doing so. As someone who has traveled around the world extensively, staying in each place for very extended (months/years) periods of time, I can honestly say that despite all of its flaws, the US is still probably the best place one could possibly live inclusive of all factors. There is a reason we're a net importer of people rather than a net exporter.

40% is just ridiculous. As we've seen in past US presidential elections, the vast majority of Americans who claim they want to move out of the country will not actually do it. Moving to a major metropolitan area within the US that aligns with their values is much easier.
The important question is not whether the spending is high. The important question is whether the spending is effective.
Wagers don't require citations. Get off your high horse.
Consider that most, if not all, of these developed nations can afford the services you listed because America has vowed to protect them with it's military power.

We spend on military force so they don't have to. The money they save is used for the services you listed.

We could renegotiate, which is what President Trump is doing, yet Id guess Americans want to have the worlds largest and most advanced military. "He with the biggest stick" mentality.
Possibly, but given the US's relative freedoms unlikely. Here's your criteria:

Actually that's not that bad for the United States since the obesity rate in the US is 4x that of Norway.

If the US got its obesity rate under control, we could save a lot of money (less hypertension, less diabetes).
I think this hits the nail on the head. I don't like our healthcare system, daycare like school system, lack of mass transit, and defense spending. In theory, of course I'd like to move to another country that better serves its citizens. Will I? Very doubtful. But as long as the government fails its people, a lot of them are going to -want- to leave.

The pros and cons are both related to a thing that many people don't think about when it comes to non-profits: money.
A foundation's job is to administer money. The pros are that well, someone has to do that work. Collectivizing helps; a random person giving $10 once isn't worth the management overhead, but 10,000 people giving $10 (or whatever) means you have a more substantial chunk of money. Additionally, projects also need things like legal support, which a foundation is well-set up to manage.

The cons are, well, that work is hard, and you can also end up in a position where you spend as much time fundraising as you do actually improving the project. This is why people talk about "efficiency" in non-profits, ideally these tasks take as little money as possible to do the administration, and spend as much as possible on the project. Also, when you're in the business of distributing money, you have to manage people's reactions to how you spend it, some people are going to be upset that you picked project A over project B, or person A over person B. That's also a form of overhead.

(and I'm not talking about MoFo here, I know very little about it or how it works. This is based on experiences with other non-profits and foundations that I've experienced and/or heard about elsewhere, and from lots of other people.)
The US actually spends as much public money on healthcare as many other countries with universal heathcare, it’s just that it is spent very inefficiently.
yes, but that's going to be more a result of financial restrictions, not lack of real desire.
We left. Three years ago, for Spain. We're not planning on returning, barring some sort of international catastrophe.
The hassle of moving to another country is not small. I gotta think there is a desire for personal change / lifestyle / even just seeing what it is like elsewhere, as much as just recent political stuff.

It's easy to tack on reasons that are convenient to say, you might even think that is the reason... but the trigger might be something else.

Not really an independent opinion so it seems. It would surprise me if they suggested something else, considering their business.

Everyone can find someone to agree with on the internet :)

International people have been judged in "Den Haag" a lot more than anywhere else.

Here are my "opinionated" sources:

> The International Court of Justice (abbreviated ICJ)[1] is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN). It settles legal disputes between member states and gives advisory opinions to authorized UN organs and specialized agencies. ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Court_of_Justi... )

> Theresa May has failed to get the EU to agree that Britain will retain a voice at the European court of justice in return for her concession that the Luxembourg court will retain a role in protecting citizens’ rights in the UK after Brexit. ( https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/dec/07/brexit-uk-f... )

Personal: haven't ever heard a UK court settle for international affairs. Hague is the only one I remember from events ( eg. Khadaffi, Bemba, ... )
It's also an unusually regressive tax, because it's flat rate, which isn't that bad if what it funds is progressively delivered (i.e. paid out the same to everyone rather than based on how much income you had), but it isn't. And then on top of that there is an income cap above which you don't pay any more.
Would you mind providing actual data or citations for any of these claims? The scientific rigor of a random YouTube channel is, ah, a bit lacking.

You claim a lot of things here, but let's just look at one-

> Since there is also data about the CO2 level in the atmosphere in the last 10,000 years it is extremely obvious that CO2 is not a major factor in the temperature increase (scientists estimate a 1-2% causation).

CO2 isn't the only driver of climate change- a claim I've never seen anybody make- but from what I've seen it looks like one of the major ones, especially on the short term.

Why do you not agree that there's a connection between CO2 levels and global temperature? The theory appears pretty straightforwards- you must have some empirical data, then. Mind showing it?
They better be able to prove their skills, since Canada only accepts skilled immigrants.
I agree that we don't get a good return on the taxes we pay. But, defense spending is about 1/6 of the federal budget at around 3% of GDP. For comparison medicare/medicaid combined is about 5% of GDP. Apparently France spends 4% of GDP on healthcare total, not just for old people. I think the biggest problem with our system is not necessarily that defense spending is so high, but that our healthcare system is so inefficient.

> It’s just that you cannot pick the benefits of being a EU member while shedding the obligations.

Of course you can, it's a matter of negotiations. UK has/had plenty of exemptions as EU member and Switzerland for example is not part of Schengen but in the single market.

It amazes me how people here think that the EU is somehow the entity that makes up all the rules. It's not, deals are bilateral.
I disagree. I'm sure they have some cool toys, but they are not even in the same league in terms of overall military capability as the US. Their military is very specialized to deal with their specific circumstances. The US can conduct full-scale warfare anywhere around the globe, in the air, sea, on land, or in near-earth orbit.
Probably hard to find, but I’m curious to know what are the numbers about foreigners wanting to live in the US compared to the numbers from 10 or 20 years ago.
Do you ship any plugins? Do you do a separate AppImage for each plugin?
I've honestly considered it simply because of the ongoing stress of dealing with our healthcare system. If I had an easy-in to another country (e.g. birthright) I'd have left a while ago.
I disagree for the opportunities we have here and the amount of taxes we pay it's pretty great!
I'd dispute the idea that a car with 130k-150k miles can't be enjoyable. I've had multiple BMWs with more than that many miles that were plenty enjoyable. None of them had any drivetrain replacements though all of them had suspension replacements as should be expected as those are all wear components. I've even had other BMW owners remark that my 200k+-mile car drives better than their own with ~60k miles due to the recency of the suspension component replacements on mine.

There's certainly degradation that occurs to a car with lots of mileage, but it's generally with the interior and the electrical systems. There may be some exterior corrosion, too, if you live in the appropriate climate though corrosion resistance has improved a lot on cars lately. And, of course, all bets are off if you don't properly maintain the car.
Historically, that 0.1% income claim has been disproven a couple of times.

I have a genuine question for people who want to leave the US because of Trump:

Is your life actually any different since he's been elected (minus constant media coverage)? I have to say, mine isn't at all. He's barely accomplished anything that's had an impact on our lives yet people are still so upset about him becoming president that they want to move to another country. Can anyone give concrete examples of his policy decisions that have had a negative enough impact on their life that they would relocate to another country?
A points based immigration policy would be a nice start.

> The UK is sovereign. It's just made some international agreements to align with other countries. If you think the EU is bad for this, wait until you see things like TTIP: all of the legislative override, ability to sue the state in foreign courts etc, and none of the democracy.

One wonders how those poor impoverished nations outside of the big trading blocs survive!
> Overall I agree with the article, and would gladly trade my high paying job for one that I actually enjoy, as long as I could be sure that I can make ends meet.

I think research has found that people really overestimate how much "meaningful" or "enjoyable" employment is worth to them. Last I read, it was worth about 20% of one's salary on average, at least when you survey people.

To me, this makes sense. We have a limited number of days on this earth. If we're going to trade some of them for other resources, it's easy to see that you should get the best value for that trade possible. Anything less is basically giving away parts of your life.

Now that doesn't mean you should take a job that is actively unpleasant or unethical (although it explains why people do). But, personally, I can picture being significantly more satisfied with the day to day of my job. My current workplace is pleasant but not necessarily highly stimulating. On the other hand, it is highly compensated with good hours. That's the most important to me.

This part on the unoptimized vs optimized code looks interesting:

Some functions contain very long running loops, so it makes sense to switch execution from unoptimized to optimized code while the function is still running. This process is called on stack replacement (OSR) owing its name to the fact that a stack frame for one version of the function is transparently replaced with a stack frame for another version of the same function.
