You don’t have to use the exclusion, and in a lot of cases it’s not really beneficial.

The other option is to pay the difference in taxes, so if you were taxed at 50% in the country of residence, and the tax bill in the US would have been 45%, you’ll get the 5% back as tax credits towards future US tax obligations.

If you’re working in most European nations you’ll probably be paying more in tax than you would in the US.

Well in my country between 1945 and 1990 many good things were done in regards to education, healthcare, science, housing - millions of people got their first urban home for free. Of course it had a fair share of problems but I think it is at least comparable with capitalist states.
I used an ergonomic keyboard, unfortunately it's not on the market anymore (I should have bought several :)).

Having seen all four of my grandparents go through their end of life, I came to the conclusion that we treat our pets with more compassion than some of what our elderly (or terminally ill) fellow human beings must endure.

I don’t think every effort should be made, at least not in every case. I don’t think every effort should even be offered in many cases.

I don’t know the exact line for me, but if there’s no reasonable prospect for 3 months of out-of-hospital life, maybe palliative care is the most humane thing. In some cases, active intervention should be able to be requested by the patient (with reasonable oversight).

It’s not primarily for money reasons, but a shocking percentage of healthcare dollars are spent in the last 1 month of patients’ lives. Some of that is intensive care for patients after trauma or other acute incident and that care should continue. But a large part of that is spent on futile efforts, what one surgeon friend of mine called “warm autopsies”.
The Matrix as Metaphysics [pdf]
"The Matrix presents a version of an old
philosophical fable: the brain in a vat. A disembodied
brain is floating in a vat, inside a scientist’s laboratory.
The scientist has arranged that the brain will be
stimulated with the same sort of inputs that a normal
embodied brain receives. To do this, the brain is
connected to a giant computer simulation of a world.
The simulation determines which inputs the brain
receives. When the brain produces outputs, these are fed
back into the simulation. The internal state of the brain is just like that of a normal brain,
despite the fact that it lacks a body. From the brain’s point of view, things seem very much as
they seem to you and me."
The story is not anywhere near that straightforward for semiconduction fabrication. A huge portion of that fabrication, for example, just moved out of california to other places in the US. Also there's been a general consolodation of fabrication plants over time as more and more advanced nodes put the price of a plant up by orders of magnitudes. There just isn't enough money for the same number of fabs at the bleeding edge. Also, intel are still US based manufacturing and they have only quite recently been toppled from the throne of most advanced process. They have simply lost to the advancement of overseas tech companies (generally it seems because they made a bad bet on their strategy for further shrinks to their process), nothing to do with US companies outsourcing overseas.

Longing for a career at a one company it seems like a concept from the 80s-90s or movies, where you start as a janitor and finish as a director.
However, this indeed can impact your day to day life at a company, as managers will develop biases towards people who they socialise with. That's why I think any kind of socials are a bad idea as they may be potentially discarding people who are bad are socialising but are great workers otherwise and that comes as a negative to a whole organisation.
300k unique daily visitors on a server for $3,75/m
Hello guys!

I would love to share with you our the latests interview with solo founder who was able to bootstrap his product to 300,000 daily visitors, $500,000 ARR, with the cost on the server $3,75 per month.

Oh and btw; he did it alone!

longest train according to wikipedia is 18.000 feet (3.4 miles). If a 40ft containers needs a 60ft car, and they are double stacked, then you can fit 30022 = 1200 TEU of containers on that train. A single large container vessel has 20.000+ TEU of containers onboard. So nope, trains are a lot smaller than container vessels
No. The optimistic view incurs opportunity cost: instead of attempting the impossible, something useful could have been done instead.

zutty is great, and I would use it if it did support double-width characters (needed for CJK, which I need).

Alas, it does not.
I don’t want to dismiss anything you’ve said and am sorry you feel that way.

Though I would say I worked at a company where I saw many people promoted into high paying and high responsibility jobs who I felt were not particularly deserving.

Looking back I know that I tried to find reasons they could have deserved it or ways I did not or ways that they gamed the system. Resulting in me feeling quite bitter.

Now I would say promotions are largely random. I’ve seen some very capable people shoot to the top, some forced out.

I now simply refer to Alan watts for career advice:

It’s a ladder, it’s ordered sometimes other it’s chaotic and makes no sense. Focus of yourself. Your knowledge. What you can learn, how you can improve. Compete with yourself. People tend to see this in the end. It is also better for your psyche.
What you call the "pessimistic view" might be very enthusiastic about projects that are orders of magnitude more likely to work. So in my opinion, the relevant axis is not optimistic vs. pessimistic, but informed vs. uninformed.

Can an outsider with no knowledge of the field make a chance discovery? It's theoretically possible, and we might want to support undirected experimentation for the one in a billion chance that something might work. But we should take those probabilities into account when allocating our collective resources.

Serious answer: Reusing old components makes no sense as the changes in technology are too big (say from a PS3 which has 45nm chip to a 7nm PS5 cpu). However you can keep using your playstation for longer as the new one will be more expensive or harder to get.
Longest freight trains currently run upwards of 2km. You could make trains longer but various issues crop up such as ability to radio reliably the whole length of the train for telemetry and distributed locomotive control. Also the brake line systems typically used (air actuated) becomes a factor as well as safety (can't see the whole train)
Thanks for the plug! I'll try it out over the weekend. I've held off on using an Electron-based terminal emulator so far because of memory concerns - I usually have tons of terminal windows open, leaving the job of tiling them to i3.

If latest chips were unavailable (war, civilisation collapse), we'd do just fine with existing chips for decades or maybe even centuries.

With clever software, you can eek much more real world use out of hardware. For example, your PS3 is probably sitting with its CPU idle right now, when it could be doing useful computations for someone else who needs more computing power.
The question is about design of chips, not manufacturing. That is quite the difference in the market that has developed.
Thank you for questioning this. I'll take your evidence and the evidence provided elsewhere in the thread (CONCORD-3 trial, a trial including millions of cancer patients in the US and AUS) over the secondhand anecdote of one physician. Is Stanford even the safety-net hospital for the Bay Area?
That actually depends on implementation: there are countries where private practices practically don't exists besides people in the 1% who pay for the convenience and attention; and countries like Poland where a lot of people have work-provided healthcare benefits which mostly decrease wait time for specialists - very limited subset of healthcare overall, there are no common private cancer treatments etc.

I don't think there is country where people buy very broad private coverage after having mandatory public one, so the scenario you're trying to present wouldn't happen: there would not be enough jobs for "all the best doctors" in private sector.

My argument is that most ads will collect personal data and you no longer have control over how it's going to be stored/used. A miner in comparison only mines cryptocurrency but doesn't otherwise have any long-term impact.

Also, ads can have negative impacts from the thing that's being advertised if it ends up being a scam, dangerous/fake/misrepresented product or malware.

Yeah, their understanding of politics in Europe doesn't seem to be as developed as their understanding of Japanese politics though this is not an important problem for their article.

It is a bit interesting to read such an outsiders perspective though, as an outside impression can be a useful basis for self-reflection.
Yes, that was my point actually, although I might have expressed it poorly:

The article says that one problem of using env vars is that you might set it for one run, but then forget to set it for the next one. This could be problematic if the program is stateful. So I wanted to make the passing comment, while talking about containers, that a container will "remember" the initially set env vars, so if you stop and start the process, the variables would persist across executions.

There was huge skepticism in the industry that landing and re-using first stage boosters was viable. Tony Bruno of ULA in 1015, 7 months before SpaceX recoverd their first booster, on their plan to recover the engine module of Vulcan:

"Our concept for reusability is inside that mathematics and realizes that maybe reusability does not start with entire stages,"

It's not that they thought it was impossible to do at all, but they thought the weight requirement of fuel, landing legs, heat protection, etc would be so high that it would eat up too much of your payload capacity.
Would that 34% come from fear and stress? People at office feel the pressure more and work above their means and then take holidays when they are completely burned out to recover instead of enjoying it.

IMHO the biggest issue that blocked Perl's broader adoption was the really obfuscated handling of nested data structures including objects. Anything beyond array of arrays or hash of hashes was a pain. It was and it still is way superior to Python for hacking of flat files, but once you needed to go beyond a hash the pain was real.

That was 20+ years ago, and Python filled this space with its easy definition of classes and candy syntax. Where Perl overdid on hackery, Python may have overdone on sugar -- but it clearly won the love of the masses.

Now, 25 years later, the ship has probably sailed for Perl, and -- while I still prefer it to sed/grep/awk and Python for simpler tasks, I don't see it conquering Python space for more complicated processing.
By that logic, Egypt would still be occupied today.
