That’s great you’ve found a home in a country with similar security and stability to the US. None of what I’m saying matters to you because you found a new home to pay taxes to.

There’s no good reason for you to keep your US citizenship just like there’s no good reason for the average Australian citizen to gain US citizenship.

This is in the context of digital nomads who probably aren’t seeking citizenship in Australia or a similar country.

Ending US citizenship purely for tax avoidance without considering FEIE (like this article does) aimed at a target audience of young people who probably don’t know much about where they are going or how taxes work (digital nomads) is not smart.
This is the “lump of labor fallacy”. You can’t just talk about supply and demand with labor because people are customers and generate their own demand.

And it certainly does come from labor costs; services like healthcare naturally get relatively even more expensive as everything else becomes more productive, because you have to pay the healthcare workers more to stop them from leaving for more productive industries. (Baumol’s cost disease)
Let’s say Putin succeeds in capturing and subduing some or all of Ukraine and integrating it into Russia. Who’s going to pay the reconstruction bill? They must have caused a hundred billion dollars worth of damage already, with more to come. How is Russia going to afford to rebuild the smoking ruin they inherit?

Are you posing this as not a problem? This makes a game the digital equivalent of cancer: There's a lot of it, it grows fast, but nothing about it is worthwhile or good. It just exists to prey on everything around it.
I used Java on web and PNaCL quite heavily, but I also love WASM. Mainly WASM is open, those others not so much.

But I don't understand, you make the Java joke because previous attempts aren't recognized enough?

There's plenty of blog posts about transitioning from them, Chromium (the only ones who implemented PNaCL) did one, as did others.
Do you have any go-to public tools for fact-checking or any internal tools that you might have had access to in the past?

No, but Yemen children are.

So .. Why are we supporting the KSA by shipping it weapons and refuelling their planes, then?

Because we learned that genocide by sanctions is an effective weapon, as per Iraq, Libya, etc. Alongside the children of Yemen, we are directing this same policy at the children of Russia.

Worth to read the article rather just the headline. Few mentions in the article

1) $20B is not the cost right now but expected to be:
"the daily cost of war for Russia is “likely to exceed $20 billion” as the invasion scales.

2) Article mentions also lost of $2.7B from GDP because those killed russian soldier won't be veteran in the future and won't work in private sector etc and won't bring any money to russia economy in the future.

3) Article also mentions other supplies: ammunition, fuel, etc. - they are using a lot of rockets and those are not cheap to build and in comparison to tanks rockets are just 'disposable' products.

I get what you are saying. But referring to it as "Peace Talks" is misleading. There is no goodwill or altruism here. It is purely another military strategy. If the outcome is occupation, that is not peace.
Like everything, IntelliJ got increasingly bloated, at a faster rate than the progress in CPU performance.

I've got a desktop machine from around 2010 with 32-bit OS, Core i5 760 (510 / 1611 point in geekbench single/multithreaded) and 4 Gb RAM, runs my current Java code in IntelliJ from those times at blazing speed. Modify a line of code and run in debug, it's up an running in less than a second.

Same code on a 2018-ish laptop, 64-bit OS, 16 Gb RAM, i7 6700 HQ (798 / 3073 in geekbench) and latest IntelliJ takes up to 10 seconds to start.

It's not "Java", it's bloat.
Hey fellow hackers,

As demand for skilled people in the Information Security field is growing and higher than ever, there doesn't seem to be a lot of sites that cater to this crowd exclusively. So I thought it would be great and helpful to fill this gap.

Hope it helps anyone interested in finding a job or hiring talent in this space, and also help newcomers to get a sense of what the market offers/demands or which roles require what qualifications/skillset etc.

What's your feedback, ideas, thoughts, insights?

Such a claim can't be disproven. But the author doesn't have any really good argument why somebody shouldn't try meditation.

In my opinion, if you can "think" yourself into something like a dangerous psychosis, then that is not a problem of sitting down too much, it is a problem that should be addressed through other channels like proper medical help.

Yes, there are sharlatans, sects, whatever, but that's not what I mean by "meditation".
I immediately hit D (Tridactyl, close page) the instant a popup happens when scrolling or reading. It is so instinctive now that I don't miss the content at all. I think maybe once or twice I've had to reopen the page (also easy in Tridactyl, U) to read content that was critical but not available elsewhere.

I just hope that there is some Google Analytics event that is triggered on page closes within a few hundred miliseconds of the popup interruption.
if that's true, then MAD was a pointless/false doctrine. The point of MAD is that people want to live. If the choice is denuke and live one way or use nukes and everyone dies, then MAD was false.
We had something similar to this in a previous job. It was a large organisation and each team owned their own components, they had merge access etc. If another team wanted to make a change they'd submit a pull request and the owning team would review it. That owning team would impose their own process and tooling on top of the standard stuff that was org wide. The big difference I suppose is that the team were the ones doing the majority of the work rather than purely gatekeeping. It did work very well on the whole though, especially as that team would then be responsible it in production.

The Path to Getting the Full Data Stack on Kubernetes
Homeowners are better described as feudalist; their value appreciation doesn’t come from capital investment (although they pretend it does), it comes from hoarding land, which is the only thing you can hoard since you can’t make any more of it.

Unfortunately everyone read Marx instead of Henry George and so we’re stuck talking about two factors of production instead of three.
"Natural selection" in companies is so noisy I don't think we will ever see a clear trend in this case.

Covid showed that as a lower limit remote wont wreck companies atleast. I am convinced remote is a little bit better for the company (unless hardware/machine/industry centric) and alot better for many employees, especially in hard commute places.

Yeah it’s a nice idea, but it still has to mess with DOM and css in the end.

I just think that web apps are not web pages. And all this struggle with css quirks and all this power wasted on parsing DOM is not really needed. I know that if what you need is a blog, then html with css is enough. But building interactive apps with backend templates rendering ends up like Github (slow and with bad user experience), or it requires a lot of crazy jQuery hackery we have been doing in the old days. And I’ll pick building a React app any time I have a choice like that.

Why would Putin - not Russia - be out for nuclear annihilation? What can be gained by provoking such a conflict? Other than some version of apres moi, le deluge I don't see any upside for any country initiating a large-scale nuclear conflict.

No, I don't think this is a believable scenario. That does not mean an escalation can not occur, but I think it is far more likely to be initiated by the use of low-yield 'tactical' nuclear weapons with the intent of forcing a surrender. Once that threshold has been crossed the risk of a nuclear exchange rapidly increases, especially when it becomes clear that the radius of destruction from such an attack is rather limited compared to the doom scenarios which have been painted over the decades. This is not a good thing since it makes it more likely for "rational" minds to consider retaliating in a similar fashion.
Regarding "denazification": the president of Ukraine is Jewish, Russia just bombed the Holocaust museum in Kyiv, and the pro-Russian people in Donetsk, Luhansk, and Belarus are the Nazis. "Denazification" is total and complete bullshit.

As for the point of the thread: denazification and demilitarization are stated objectives, not win conditions. The US achieved their stated objectives in Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq #2, but failed to achieve the win conditions in Vietnam and Afghanistan. The jury is still out on Iraq #2 but sources say unlikely.

For Russia, there are no win conditions.

There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that you live in an environment that plays to your strengths, and that it’s somewhat arbitrary.

I have an aptitude for academic study and have always simply enjoyed it. Happily, I live in a society that rewards that. I’m also short, left handed and wear glasses. I would have fared less well in pre-industrial times. I’m extremely fortunate to have been born when and where I was.
Again, wording matters. The protocol is declining. Sure. It is certainly not dying, which implies 5 - 10 years from now it will disappear entirely.

We have similar discussion only a few days ago [1], copying my answer here.

That’s not a good analysis.

Maybe it costs $20B/day overall including sanctions, but military spend only should come out at around $2B.

How exactly do you plan to make denuking the only possible choice? With what stick? Starting a nuclear war? Anything short of that isn't big enough.

A million years of sanctions isn't going to be sufficient to accomplish that, especially when China is still available as a trading partner.

It might result in civil unrest, and (incredibly unlikely, but sure, pigs could fly) a coup, but you won't be able to pry the nuclear football out of the fingers of whomever inherits the rubble of the Kremlin. The United States is more likely to give up its nuclear arsenal than Russia is.

You're confusing what you want with what can happen. That's not how geopolitics, negotiations, or questions of power work.
> lost equipment costs basically 0 - they are mostly old hand-me-downs, the factories are not producing them anymore, so all the costs are already sunk;

Sure, for some legacy capital items, the production costs are sunk. But the cost of not having the equipment isn't. You can pay replacement cost or you can pay the permanent reduction in military capacity cost, but you are paying the cost either way if you lose the equipment.

Unless you are saying the operational value of the equipment is zero, in which case, sure, the loss is zero but then why did you even bring it to war in the first place?

> airplanes are more expensive, but again, this is old stock, there is plenty of them, and not incurring costs of producing more - let's say 10M per craft

If you aren't calculating it at the cost of replacing the capacity provided, you are underestimating the real cost.

> We've proven that the big tech companies can go fully remote and not completely crash and burn, that's about it.

We've proven that the big tech companies can go fully remote suddenly and unexpectedly, without specific preparations, planning or training for that scenario, with employees in an especially stressing and taxing situation (pandemic uncertainty, childcare issues that wouldn't exist outside of a pandemic, with some people needing to work and care for children at the same time) and still be productive.

I'd say that's a rather strong result for remote work. Not proof that it's universally "better", because obviously things are complicated and the answer is always "it depends", but at least I'd take it as proof that it should probably be taken as the (or a) default option rather than an exotic alternative.
If Iran agreed to give up nukes and stop exporting terrorism (or freedom fighters if one wants to call them that, but I don't see how one can justify bombing jewish community centers in argentina as freedom fighting) then they will quickly have sanctions removed from them.

I'd argue that the russian's overt use of the nuke threat is going to make countries more hardline in the near future on Iran's nuke ambitions.

If you don't produce enough talent for that industry what do you want?

That companies relocate elsewhere?

You're contradicting yourself twice. Fist you say that the middle class has been wiped off by delocalization then you say that it has always been wiped off by immigrants which have been required because not enough talents in the US are able to pick the jobs created by the company (jobs that would go elsewhere without immigrants as well, and these immigrants with their expenses are also supporting other middle-class US family - eg. Landlords, Restaurant owners, shop owners etc)
The lowest paid already pay effectively no taxes and your suggestion is to have them pay less?

Do you understand the incentives you're creating when you have only a small minority of productive people subsidize everyone else?
No such thing as competing for jobs necessarily, because you can’t run out of jobs as long as there’s demand. More people = more businesses = more demand. (If immigrants made you poorer then so would your neighbors having children, and the way to get richer would be killing your coworkers.)

Thinking you can run out of jobs is an artifact of the US’s bad monetary/industrial policy from 2000-2020, but if you look around you’ll see that’s over. We’re in a full employment economy now.
I didn't think it needed clarification, but "they wouldn't be able to hire anyone" does not literally mean they would have zero candidates. It's expressing the fact that they would be severely limiting their talent pool by offering 0 equity in this industry, where equity is one of the reasons people are willing to take a risk on a startup.

Economic growth means nothing except that you trade money faster. It doesn’t use more resources - actually it uses less as you transition from goods to services.

The US uses less of many resources than it did in the 60s, and that’s still true if you account for offshoring.

Ask HN: How to reach displaced Ukrainian developers
My company (based in the UK) has a number of software engineering positions open at the moment. We were considering using one of the many team augmentation providers who source engineers in Eastern Europe as we're finding supply in the UK job market too constricted at the moment.

We're in a position to sponsor work visas, and would happily take on the additional effort required to do the paperwork and help people settle in the UK who have been displaced from the Ukraine.

The problem is that I have no idea how to execute this idea. It's likely this will only be viable for people who have already left the Ukraine for Poland or Hungary, and I don't know how to find them or let them know about this opportunity.

Maybe the HN community has some ideas that would help.
Doesn't P2E already exist? In the form of Online Poker, Horse Racing, Casinos, etc.
No because after Putins first bomb(s) all other bombs will be secured by special forces from inside and outside. No one in the Western world will push a button to retaliate.
as I said, they will end up being a chinese vassal state othewise. as they will have to jump when china says jump. The Q is what matters more to them, being mostly free to chart their own path, or having nukes but having to follow chinese orders.

> If we, workers, consumers, voters, would work together and think a bit more before we work, buy, vote we could change a lot.

Sure. The issue, though, is that people are very price-sensitive because of the above reasons. So retailers bring in the cheaper off-shored products, and the cycle continues.

I think this could be regulated, but it would go against the various free-trade agreements. Which means that maybe we should rethink those.
It's hard to take the author credibly when he trots out the trope about 91% marginal tax rates and 50% corporate tax rates.

Yes, they existed. But those numbers don't matter. What does matter is federal revenue as a share of GDP, an apples-to-apples comparison across years. And it turns out that number doesn't vary a whole lot.[1]

As it happens, I'm reading this thread while taking a break from writing tax handling in a piece of e-commerce software.

It relies 100% on the settings of the application in question, because tax codes and procedures vary greatly around the world, and it's internationally used software. There are even some stores using this software that sell items to and from different countries using the same website, so it can be set up to handle tax differently per product.

Not everything is taxed everywhere, so it will accept it without question if someone sets up a product with the tax class "none", and happily log, process and store an order with 0% tax.

Yes, it's a footgun for the inexperienced to be able to accidentally commit tax fraud, but no, the software can't just override the user input and insist that a 25% VAT should be applied to random things based on ... what? The name? A hunch? MaChInE LeArNiNg?

Manual audits are used to discover human error, be it my error in creating the software, or your error in the data supplied to the software. I can create the logs and make them as easy to read as possible, but if you don't read them for three months, that's on you.
>These are the things that really matter.

And in event of PRC attempting to reunify TW, formalism will categorize that as a civil war, not an international one where sovereignty is violated like current RU/UKR conflict. As far as I know, PRC doesn't need UNSC approval to finish an civil war, it's already dejure a legal ongoing war. Plus there's all sorts ambiguity on 3rd parties aiding UKR with lethal aid right now, but aiding TW will be declaration of war with PRC. These are the things that really matter politically when bombs start exploding.

I suppose it makes more sense to say PRC owns "China" including TW in the same way it makes sense to say TW owns "China" including mainland.
I have yet to see a game which integrates P2E well. Axie Infinity made things too much like a job rather than a game, while other F2P games might not work if they bridge the virtual and real world economies. How do you plan to do this with APIs?
We do appear to be in a quite long-lived moment for graphic design. Looking at past trends, a common theme appears to be alternating between the maximalist and minimalist

Technical Limitations → Skeuomorphism → Current "flat" design trends

Art Nouveau → Bauhaus and Contemporary → Postmodernism

Perhaps we are due for a maximalist wave in five years' time.
