How do you not know that you’re a US citizen? Surely that’s an edge case?

The price of renouncing your US citizenship went from around $500 to just under $3000, so the key issue seems to be to make renouncing more accessible.

If filing IRS paperwork no matter where you reside seems an onerous obligation for a citizen, try compulsory military service or currency export controls, both of which the US does not have.
Chief head of not so chief heads?
US citizenship comes with a big administrative burden even if you don't live in the US.

Some parents with European citizenship sometimes do not file an American birth certificate when registering their child for a European birth certificate. I.e. if the country facilitates registration of child based on parent citizenship and not birth location of child, they just never declare the child was born in the US. "It was a home birth"

At international schools in some countries this is an open secret and happens quite often, as long as the parents are not feds and are not under heavy scrutiny. So the kid has two different BC & passports with two different birthplaces. Some even have different birth-dates and names.

Sure saves the poor kids the nightmare of not being able to open a bank account abroad, as a US citizen.

The moral is, plan your money, plan your kids, the federales will never inform on what is in your best interest. Both kids and money come with paperwork attached. Best read up now.
And yes, a timely consultation with a lawyer before the fact is most often cheaper than the cost of renouncing US citizenship and the time you waste on declaring while not living in the US.
a big conceptual point in RL is the focus on the Bellman equation. value of a state equals immediate reward plus discounted future value. if you know the value of every state, just always move to pick the highest value.

well known methods like Q-learning are basically just iterative, approximate methods to find solutions to the Bellman equation — i.e. a measure of value for every state of the world, such that the Bellman equation is satisfied.

policy optimization methods don’t do this, but there are still mathematical connections back to the Bellman equation (there is a duality relationship between value functions and policies).

I would say this focus is a big part of what makes the field of RL unique.
There's some odd things about what you might have thought would have been a straight economic dump (and which might still be);
a) House prices in the UK have gone up a lot - because being forced to work from home people want to work from somewhere nice, and they may as well get out of the city - I didn't expect a big house price rise!
b) Plenty of low paid sectors are busy; things like those food delivery etc are all busy and the people working for them are - but then again the pubs/resteraunts are doomed.
c) There's a lot of pent-up demand for when it's safe; people who want repair work done just as soon as you're prepared to let workmen into your house, holidays to be taken, special meals to be had at restaurants

I'm assuming (b) & (c) will soften the outcome when the governments stop pumping money into the economy.

>> A better alternative than destroys less (though still significant amount) value is to just tax the high earners and use the proceeds to subsidize low earners. This way, you can have low earners earn as much as they would have after switching to higher paying job in your “retire early when you have Enough”, but you’d have both high and low earner continue working, so more total value would be produced.

In this better alternative why would high earners continue to earn high when they can just switch to become a low earner and eat the tax from the remaining high earners.
I can't help but read this as "I've noticed I could make money off other peoples work"
Yes, they're all VC backed with bags of cash though. Credit unions, community banks, building societies etc find it impossible to do this.

Also, the only two among that list that I know to be actual banks - rather than prepaid card providers - are Monzo and Starling.
It is very exciting times. From a business model perspective what is interesting to me is thinking about how the LONDON<->NYC low latency demand (finance/tickers) will effectively offset the cost for Starlink to offer service in remote (rural) areas; they can do this due to the fact that they are in the same orbital coverage area.

Allocate memory and assign to a global that’s never actually used. Boom. Memory leak. Make that global a vector to leak larger amounts of memory more easily.

Rust doesn’t have a GC which would be needed to make the guarantee you’re looking for at runtime (and even still, GC’d languages can be made to leak memory as well as far as I’m aware).
> By July I realized a couple things (and adjusted my investments accordingly)

You're definitely making valid points, but this sounds like a whole lot of hindsight bias: you're rationalizing something that was rather unpredictable (the full impact of the pandemic on the economy, and whether that would surpass the market's expectations or not).

How did you possibly adjust your investment strategy based on these "learnings"? It sounds like this can only lead to the same forms of losses you've had with your initial risky investment (overly confident that pandemic = stock market crashing).
It was always a casino. It was also always rigged.
Agree with Pt 11.

“After an accident, practitioner actions may be regarded as ‘errors’ or ‘violations’ but these evaluations are heavily biased by hindsight and ignore the other driving forces, especially production pressure.”

Management pressure to produce reminds me of the phrase “We don’t know where we are going but we want to get there as soon as possible.” Garbage in garbage out. And no. Endless meetings are not a good substitute for anything.

It would require a constitutional amendment. In modern times, that would seem to require the sort of prolonged alignment that follows a deep and lasting shock to the country.

Is this like the "tool smith" from the surgical team?

While I've enjoyed remote work a lot, I don't think it's here to stay. For places that will allow employees to start going remote 100%, if even a minority of the team returns to the office and has daily facetime with management, those other remote employees will return IMO.

In other words, post COVID, if your company isn't 100% remote then I don't think anyone will be full remote there, it's a disadvantage.
Even better some of the early printers (e.g. IBM 1132) had a wheel for every character position, all on a common axle, so you told the printer which character you wanted, then set bit fields in memory for which positions to strike, then wait for interrupt and repeat until you have printed all the characters that were used on that line, then told it to advance. The timing for this was finicky, to the point that the cheap 1130 wasn't capable of doing this fast enough, which was solved by IBM by making it run at a higher clock speed when at interrupt level 1. As you might imagine many of those machines spent a lot of time at interrupt level 1 doing things unrelated to printing

I've become increasingly convinced that the fanout model of modern social media, where anything sufficiently popular will be seen by everyone on the platform, is just fundamentally broken. Moderation debates are attempting to answer the question of "who should have global broadcast rights?", and the only answer people will really be happy with is "nobody".
A great reminder that showing a bit of gratitude goes a long way, especially to the the oftentimes-thankless builders and maintainers of the OSS we all rely on.
As a fellow expat who would very much like to get rid of my US citizenship too, I can tell you my experience with Americans is that they are not happy that anyone gets out and doesn't have to deal with the same crap they deal with. Tell them you like the life/people/culture in country X better and they get upset, defensive, angry even, like you wronged them by calling attention to the reality that its not actually a very nice place to live, and they know it, and they know they are stuck there. More than anything, I believe this essential truth about American character explains things like this $2.5K "fee" and the spineless response from the embassy you got. It's all just to fuck with you, cause you got away and don't have to live around those people and their crazy anymore.

Yes, defensive driving is the norm because we humans are fallible. If all the cars on the road were self-driven, then it would be a different story.
The taxes are the least of it. The expense and time it consumes to file the various forms is a huge pain. Anyone who has investments, a business, or property abroad will suffer from this. My net taxes were very low, but I have spent thousands on accountancy fees and hundreds of hours of my own personal time. GILTI was just the latest landmine.

I net in the low 6 figures, via my own consultancy. I have a one man shop which basically incurs the wrath of the IRS because it doesn't fit into the IRS tax code worldview. This is not abnormal, in fact many experienced software people in the city work this way.

I also can't just ignore it. The IRS under the Obama administration launched one of the most aggressive foreign tax ramp ups ever. With FBAR/FACTA, they know everything you have. It is incredibly risky to ignore filing and paying your US tax obligation - they can do all kinds of horrible things, with minimum 10k penalties and foreign agreements in place for enforcement. Plus I have retirement accounts in the US which could be affected.
It would make a lot of sense for Github to support discussion forums natively, separate from issues. Or perhaps user reviews.
> What we really need is a switch from "first past the post" to approval/score/range voting, which would dissolve the two party system by eliminating spoilers and thereby making third parties viable.

Systems like approval voting or STV when used with single member districts do not reduce the two party duopoly. To achieve this you must use multi member districts, which has the effect of reducing the threshold to gain a seat. The best case study for this is maybe Australia, which has been running systems like this for a century. In their Senate they elect using very large multi member districts and have a representation from a number of parties, whereas in their House they use single member districts. And the result there is a two party duopoly.

For example at the moment in their Senate (multi member districts) currently there are seven parties and one independent:

Liberal (31)
Labor (26)
Greens (9)
National (5)
One Nation (2)
Centre Alliance (1)
Lambie Network (1)
Independent (1)

On the other hand the Australian House uses single member districts and third parties do much worse. For example look at how the Greens have a whopping 11% of the seats in the Senate above but an absurd 0.6% in the House below. This absurd 20x discrepancy for the Greens in proportion of seats between the Senate and House is the impact of whether you use multi member vs single member districts with RCV. And the size of the multi member districts will determine the size of the impact.

Labor (68)
Liberal (61)
National (15)
Liberal National (1)
Greens (1)
KAP (1)
Centre Alliance (1)
Independent (3)

As demonstrated here the Greens are clearly very popular with people but they just can't win in the duopoly reinforcing single-member districts. I would rather see us work to achieve an outcome like the the Australian Senate than the Australian House.

WRT your concern about who is your representative in the multi member case. It can be argued now ~40% of people who vote for the loser in our current system don’t have a representative, and a more proportional system would clearly improve this. So I think, if say we had RCV with five member districts, you could either just contact whichever member you prefer, contact them all, or they could introduce joint offices to work together, or a system could be set up to assign them to “sub district” that would be akin to our current districts. For example assign them based on who gets the most first preference votes in a district. Or rotate them every six months between sub districts. This might even reduce partisanship.

Buying property doesn't expose you to GILTI/transition taxes.

Neither does investing in a business. You just have to pay taxes on income derived from that business, as normal.

FATCA can be completely nullified by not maintaining foreign bank accounts. Keep your money in the US, problem solved. Maybe that's not an option for everyone but it's still an option.
Look for the industries laying people off. These are the industries facing new or ongoing stress. https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cpseea31.htm for November. See the unemployment rate for apples to apples stats.

Should these firms survive, their labor costs may be depressed for a few years unless they were already paying their median worker at minimum wage (energy wasn't). Firms use labor in the short run to adjust for income gaps/overages. They tend to adjust capital in the long run, which is why hotels aren't yet all selling their properties.

Even if they were aware that they are a US citizen, it is highly unlikely that they are aware of the tax consequences unless somebody explicitly told them.
In almost all countries in the world, there is no good reason to renounce your accidental citizenship of a foreign country and there is no point in going through the trouble of doing so. And that doesn't even take into account the high cost of doing it.
Number 3 is highly unethical, and outweighs all the benefits IMO. Wealth inequality was already sky high. After this, it won’t be even possible to see those with nothing in the rear view mirrors.

I feel like I understand a bit about the current monetary policy (US and some of the world) vs the debt market.

I was puzzled by the Fed's interest rate 0 until 2023 - until I realized that the LIBOR to SOFR transition had been pushed, in part, to 2023 (https://www.reuters.com/article/usa-fed-libor-idUSL1N2IG12W). Chances that it finishes out in 2023 is slim, but it's something.

Stocks are not a replacement for bonds...and bonds with <1% (https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/i...) aren't even a good investment anymore, pushing this stock bubble higher. The people tripling down on long-term trades like Tesla for retirement are idiots banking on the good times going on for decades. Remember 2000s when there was a media push for "Generation Equity" - WIRED frontpage? Yeah, that was the same thinking. There isn't enough money in the world or GDP for a generation to cover a 100Trillion debt market once it matures (which would be 100T+rate the purchased bonds bear).

If you want to do short selling or short-term trading, that's great, but these are these infantile investors that are going to see their investments wiped out in a correction.
I don't know why this is on HN; is it really considered so unusual for a someone to express gratitude to an open-source project?
