Question, sure. But not Ignore common sense, assume irresponsible behavior, and assume public harm.
This is banning reentry for those who have stated their reason for renouncing is due to tax avoidance. When I renounced I began telling them it was due to tax compliance, and they were very careful to not let me say tax avoidance. It is completely different. I’d be happy to pay an a amount to the US for citizenship every year but can’t deal with the thousands I pay accountants and the days I spend compiling and working out amounts for the calendar year as opposed to the Australian financial year. Also the anxiety over the ever changing laws and fines.

This reentry ban has never been enforced but could be in the future, if anyone has actually been able to say they renounced due to tax avoidance.
Some cultures does not have sarcasm, while having a sense of humor.

And they probably also have forms of humor that you would not understand. Which does not imply that you don't have a sense of humor.
You can do 3D modeling directly in Unreal, but it's very limited compared to something like Blender.
What is your thinking around post merge reviews?
> Here's another example of this: IIRC one of the most frequently searched terms on Google is "facebook". Tech-savvy people will just type "facebook.com" but users will just search for "facebook" and click on the (hopefully) first result. That happens a ton.

I've actually switched to searching even for URLs I know, if they don't autocomplete from history. My typing accuracy isn't 100%, and I'm confident the top Google result will be the correct domain even if I make a typo (rather than some phishing clone squatting on an adjacent name).
Say you have $400K of public company stock that vests over 4 years. How much is this worth? (ignoring time value of money for now). $400K? But if the stock tanks then you likely have the option to get another job, so you are less affected by the downside than the upside. How should that factor into your calculation?
I agree with you and I would really like to buy VR hardware from a good actor, but they are few and far between. This is great for now for rescuing hardware that might be going straight to the landfill or for those who finally understand the implication of buying the hardware in the first place.
> GrapheneOS is compatible with several Google Pixel smartphones.

That doesn't bode well for things working all that well. As someone who ran linux on chromebook for two years, then on a macbook for three, i'm a bit burnt out on this sort of thing.
Specifically, what is 'state of the art' in the iphones image pipeline? Many of these computational techniques (focus stacking, image averaging, subject recognition, face recognition, etc) have been in use for decades - but just not in a handheld device.

By the same token, I wouldn't call Google docs as 'state of the art' since its duplicating existing desktop software, but in a browser (not to minimize their effort, I'm sure its hard).
Perhaps XML serializers could be derived from schema. That way you always know which tag name, attribute or child node is meaningful.
Facebook keeps asking Congress to make laws. How about this one:

Peripherals, including mice, monitors, keyboards, VR headsets or any other device used to process input or output from a computer, may NOT be connected to any cloud service with an account. Any such cloud connections MUST be for software updates only and software updates MUST be capable of permanent opt-out without any loss of usage.

I mean I grew up with my logitech mouse, keyboard and monitor not connected to a cloud account and I expect to die that way. Why does Facebook get to do things differently.
What's happening in January that would make things take off?
It matters a whole heck of a lot, but not enough to invalidate the statement.
Exactly. Here comes the massive deflation, right according to white paper. It would've been the greatest pyramid scheme in history if Satoshi weren't earnest in his goals. And if he didn't lose his keys.

This was fun:

Me:Greetings!

Greetings, human, and where are you going?

Me:I go to fight.

Ah, I see, you are in the service of the Dark Lord!

Me:No, no! I work for the benefit of Middle Earth!

Middle Earth? Ah, I see, then you will fight for the Dark Lord!

Me:Um, no...

Oh, and I thought that your skin was brown and you had red hair and eyes, but actually you are blonde and brown!

Me:Um, no...

I must admit that you seem quite reasonable.

Me:And you seem quite unreasonable

Indeed, there is no denying your argumentation.
Show HN: The Hacker Zephyr – The world's longest hackathon on land
It is very difficult to run into ruinous tax problems with publicly traded companies, but it's possible. There's a delay between the vest date and when you can actually sell your shares. Normally this is just a few days, but if something dire happens your stock can still tank in this window. If $100k of RSUs vest and then drop to $0 in value before you can sell, you have $100k of income to pay taxes on, and can only credit $3k of your capital losses per year towards normal income.

It is very easy to run into ruinous tax problems with privately traded companies. If you exercise options you have to pay taxes on the difference between the strike price and the current fair market value, and in exchange you've gotten something which is very difficult to sell. You can avoid ever having any tax problems by just never exercising your options until a liquidity event, but that often means letting them expire unexercised.
These concerns are valid. Data serialization/deserialization is an extremely standard thing to need to be able to do. It's not the user's fault if they use the obvious tool for an obvious job and suddenly have bloated compile times.
How does that work with the recent 'they need to return to the office' + anyone remotely working for Facebook outside the US will never make hundreds of thousands as a developer.
> A hundered thousand years of safe storage is not part of the calculation of the energy price

People always mention that as an argument. I'm pretty sure that we could figure out a solution if we actually worked on it. Given how far we've come over the last 100 years, I don't see this as a problem that we couldn't solve over the next 100 years.
Ok so he doesn't actually plan to give investment advice, he just wants the license to be considered an accredited investor. Got it, thanks!
What makes this especially odd- I asked around other Steam dev's/forums etc and no one has ever heard of a game in the submission process being "retired" by a support agent like this. Game "retirement" is usually done by the dev when they no longer want to sell or support the game afaik. I don't know but the "game" is an interactive film and perhaps the agent watched the film and had some artistic issue with it? I don't know of course its just all so strange.

Seeking CTO/technical co-founder for the DAO of doctors
Hi! I am Dr. Leah Houston. I am an emergency physician (MD) and after 10 years of practice across the US, I realized our $3.9T healthcare system is fundamentally broken to the point that we need to decentralize it. In 2020 we raised $650K from a crowdfund of almost 400 doctors who also recognized this need. In 2021 we soft launched our mobile decentralized identity app to the iOS and Android app stores, and we are growing.

We are seeking a true technical co-founder to help to execute on this vision. What is a DAO? Decentralized Autonomous Organization - we believe it is the individual doctors who should build the healthcare system of the future: not centralized governments or private entities such as insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies. Current centralized systems we have the potential to usurp include Doximity (centralized social app with a current market cap of $14B), insurance companies (centralized “payments” systems that actually pocket the $ and don’t pay the doctors), EHR companies (that own control and sell patient data without their knowledge or consent), credentialing and physician data industry ($5B) and many more healthcare stakeholders.

If you want to join us on this mission learn more here: https://www.hpec.io/about-us (the Doctors DAO) and here https://www.evercred.com/ (The Decentralized Identity and Credential/Authentic Data Issuing system) both launched and in MVP.

Owning a business in a country where the taxes are lower than the US corporate rate triggers double tax, as well as any passive income investments. The US can tax a residence that sells for a profit while the residential country will not. Disability support earners have been taxed on their income from their resident country as well.
Interesting. Found it here:

I'm reminded of the fictional book quoted in Bierce's "Devil's Dictionary" entitled "The Lunarian Astonished" or the like, and I always thought it would be great to pursue the theme further. Defoe isn't Bierce but now I'm interested in his take as well.
Thanks for building this product. I used your compensation negotiating service and you helped up my offer by more than 100x what I paid y'all. Keep up the great work!

I have a friend who did this for AutoCAD about 25 years ago. Taught it at a community college, never having used it before.

In his own words "I just have to stay one week ahead of the class and it all works out."
So long as we're posting second-hand quotes attributed to LBJ, here's one from Ronald Kessler:

"These Ne**es, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference... I'll have them ni**rs voting Democratic for the next two hundred years."
Locally, generally. Remember Gall's Law: "A complex system that works is inevitably found to have evolved from a simple system that works." Also much easier to rebuild trust in a smaller community.

I'd kinda love to blog about blue-sky social theories, but I suspect that without grounding in actual working social systems, they would remain theories.
Ugh, totally this. Upgrading Ubuntu to 21.04 broke IntelliJ's Chromium debugger because chromium moved from apt to snap (DESPITE installing it through apt!) with the extra sandboxing rules.

The proprietary nature of snap and being unable to install alternative sources without partnering with Canonical/uploading a public package drives me mad.

I've upgraded my desktop install from 16.04 all the way to 21.04 without any issues and I plan on upgrading to 21.10 later this week. However, the moment the setup collapses, I'm moving to something Arch-based. I don't want to deal with snaps and the snap problem is only going to get worse as time moves on. If the snap package manager was completely open source and had self-hostable repositories, I'd consider staying, but right now I might as well use the Windows Store/winget if only the client's source is open and alternate package sources are decidedly not a supported use case.

I've heard good stories about EndeavourOS and my laptop is already running Manjaro. I've got a feeling I might be switching to one of those before the next Ubuntu LTS.
Careful about drawing generalizations about voting in the developed world.

In Canada, my grandmother didn't need any "ID" to vote, period. All she needed was for me, who had acceptable ID to vouch that she was an eligible voter, voting in a riding that she was eligible to vote in.

Somehow, the country has not yet devolved into an orgy of lawlessness.

How do you define a peripheral? An Oculus Quest is basically a repackaged smart phone.
Yes! This advice to value shares of private companies at zero is buried deep in the article, but I think it renders the article quite misleading.

The right thing to do is to use your own judgment to estimate the value of the stock. A small stake in a promising early-stage company really is worth something. There just isn't a clean formula for how much it's worth.

When you really think hard about it, this will push you toward working for companies that are more likely to succeed. If you treat all stock offers like they are worth zero, that will push you toward working for companies that don't offer their employees stock, and that are not likely to succeed. Over time, those companies just don't attract the best coworkers. So you're really hurting your career if you decide that you don't care about the stock, even besides the direct financial hit.
Great way to make Facebook drop PCVR support and allow standalone apps only. At this point, I think things are going in that direction rapidly anyway. Oculus has already shifted most of it's game development resources away from PCVR.
DNI, passport or drivers license. All of these IDs cost money. DNI is compulsory after 16.
But can American companies not hire these Eastern European developers to do this? If yes, why do the US salaries stay an order of magnitude larger?

Apple probably doesn't care about the license, they care with how it interacts with their business. It's important to them that system level stuff is permissively licensed because they view it as important to keep their OS software completely closed. Blender OTOH is auxillary to their goals (whether AR/VR, gaming, or something else) so it doesn't matter as much that they can't make it partially proprietary.

Yes, and if you aren’t 5 years tax compliant when you pay that $2350 you owe 20% of the value of all your assets too.

I think Canada and Mexico belong to two separate categories. It is true that the US benefits from highly educated immigrants from Canada AND Mexico. In fact, the US benefits in this regard much more from India and China, than Canada and Mexico, which simply do not have the depth of the talent pool required to sustain US supremacy.

But the massive influx of immigrants from Mexico (and Central America) over the decades has not been of this kind. It has mostly been low-skilled or unskilled workers who form a growing underclass that can not participate effectively in civic society.

Of course, from the standpoint of sustaining population growth to slightly above replacement levels, immigration of unskilled/low-skilled immigrants is still a good thing. Unfortunately, the US population growth flattened out or went slightly into reverse in 2020. Whether this trend takes hold is anybody's guess, but given America's declining appetite for immigration in general, the worse may still be ahead of us.

As you say, though, automation may make slower population growth moot. Who knows!
I just started learning common lisp over the last few weeks through Practical Common Lisp; it's been really interesting.

>>The model is simple: gut the staff, sell the real estate, jack up subscription prices, and wring out as much cash as possible.

Yup typical MBA vampire business model, zero out all functions related to long term growth, organizational resiliency, or social capital, and just extract cash until the organization dies.

Nevermind that the effect will corrode the very democracy that supports making their profits...

Your position is basically that of Camus' absurdism, if you wanted to dig further into the philosophy.
College ID isn't proof of residence. Driver's licenses are. If you formally have residence in the state you are schooling in, you are required to have that state's driver's license.

Allowing college students with an out of state drivers license to vote with their college ID guarantees them TWO votes- because they can legally file a mail in vote to the state they have that driver's license in.

Some hunting licenses require residence in the state that issues them. For those that do, provided they have a photo or something similar, there is no reason to not accept them. Odds are though, if you have a hunting license, you also have a driver's license.
Oh, well, I assume too many things I guess.
...which is doomed to death whenever Google stops with the security updates for the very specific hardware it runs on. In fairness, IIRC, this is actually the fault of Qualcomm providing, and eventually ceasing to provide, Google with hardware security updates of some sort.

The point is that these fun projects to circumvent baked-in awfulness are practically destined to stop working properly due to the nature of the hardware itself. It's always better, if possible, to support the non-awful varietal. In this case, I guess that's "almost any other VR headset, lacking a login requirement". Does Steam count?
There are many high earners on HN, and presumably the OP would not blindly follow any advice given but use it as a starting point for doing his own research.

If some W2 income can be converted to self-employment income, more money can be socked away pre-tax into a SEP-IRA. My wife, a doctor, gets some self-employment income from moonlighting. Some finance executives get compensation as "carried interest" taxed as capital gains.
it's weird it looks like I make half of what I could as a senior, espcially in a 'hard' algorithm heavy domain

but I still oddly don't want to work for them, half the pay is still decently middle class and I'm very happy overall

there's also the internal argument I've had in that most of them don't really do anything interesting (usually things that were good ideas years ago)and even if they did odds that I'd be near what was are slim

If you used Linux for any amount of time it'll take a couple of days to get familiar with OpenBSD and they you will be more at home with it than Linux.

To me OpenBSD is similar to what Slackware was, as simple as it possibly can be, with the advantage of a BSD being coherent and consistent.

I'm a long time Linux user and only used OpenBSD recently.
I often find myself Googling Linux configs. I did use Google for OpenBSD to get started but found after a day I wasn't and relying on the man pages instead for system settings etc. They really are short, concise and complete, everyone says this but until you use them it's hard to understand.

I use Emacs I don't know Emacs. Emacs is a completely different beast to OpenBSD. Emacs is a huge rabbit hole and you spend as much time building your own Emacs as you do using Emacs. OpenBSD i've set up once which was simple as someone never using it before, and then forgot about it. It's been sat ticking away in a corner, no interruptions.

As much as I really like OpenBSD I don't think I can use it as a primary desktop. There's a few compromises on hardware support, no docker for my day job and I've read the desktop experience is slower than Linux just because it hasn't had the money and people Linux has had with drivers etc.

I'd really recommend anyone try OpenBSD for it's simplicity and educational purposes. If you use it as your main OS you will likely be dissapointed with some of the limitations, as a server / secondary educational device you might be pleasantly surprised.
Its not culture. Its birth control. You'll have one sooner or later if you're not on it[1]. Once you do, the next few are easier to justify. Just my opinion.

It's like a rite of passage or something to hack and then install your own thing fighting harder than a salmon swimming up stream. There's a lot to be learned in the doing to be sure. It's the full of piss&vinegar stage of life. Eventually, you get tired of the time required to fight it, and just need something to work. Does that mean the man won? Maybe. However, I look at it like I won on finally becoming mature enough to realize that there are things much more important in life than banging my head on that particular brick wall. Just my $0.02 of grandpa ranting. Get off my lawn!
