> Such as? All of them stem from FATCA, and we’re back to taxes.

I understand that FATCA's reporting requirements are onerous enough for banks that they reject US account holders. Then, the inability to get a local bank account may cause problems.

This is where I ask, "can't you just use a US bank account, then? One with good international support? (No fees, etc.)" I suspect this is feasible in many countries?

I do know, however, that in India, many activities require an Indian credit card (regular Visa &etc cards work fine for many things, but for others -- particularly if they touch the government in any way -- they are rejected). And the way to get an Indian credit card is to have an Indian bank account. You see where this is going. So e.g., you end up unable to buy train tickets without bugging an Indian citizen to do it for you.

I would also suspect that, the minute you need to deal with an account with any kind of special government classification -- say, a retirement account -- then you need that account to be at an institution that knows about those laws, which again would require a local bank.
"Remember the human". Do you start with the assumption that the product has to fit into Windows and do things the Windows way? Or do you start with the assumption that humans are going to use the product and make it in such a way that people can and want to use it.
Being nomadic post teenage years is natural among animals, particularly for males, before settling into a pack when mature.

I’d encourage you to not suppress that instinct in others just because you’re not currently in that phase of your life.
I'm slightly sympathetic to the road safety argument -- it's at least plausible [1] -- but it's weird how it only applies to motorcycles. Taking the logic seriously, everyone should make more noise for safety? Bicyclists are at least as vulnerable as motorcyclists, yet they're silent -- should they be blasting some sound, like a siren or whatever? And why stop there -- maybe all cars should make noise -- just honk their horns continuously for safety? It starts to get absurd.

That’s not how Singapore defines “Singapore earned income”.

They define it by “where the work was completed” not “where income come from” or “country where you were hired”.

Many countries do it that way.

> Why do we need legislation?

The fundamental purpose of the constitution is to limit government overreach. Limitations on individuals and corporations are enacted through legislation. Those limitations (in general) are necessary because without them, people with the most power abuse the people with the least, until there's a violent uprising. Today's legislation exists because of the last violent uprising in response to abuses of corporate power. Removing it wholesale, without replacement, invites that bloody history to repeat itself.

wokwokwok, cobbal and oefrha made excellent points in the sibling comments.

The only thing new PowerShell brings to the table is to pipe structured objects instead of only arbitrary data. And for that you don't need PowerShell itself: The power of the Linux shell isn't really the shell itself, it's in the powerful tools you can call from it and how you can interact with the Kernel and other components of the OS. The shell just gives you a simple interface and the ability to glue lots of small tools together.
I think the reason we don't have a popular PowerShell clone, a "shell-with-objects", is that we would need to change how a lot of these tools handle basic data IO. I would love to see that, because sometimes parsing text is annoying, mental overhead; especially when filenames containing whitespaces are involved; but then there are always scripting languages waiting to help out (e.g. I tend to use perl kind of "super powerful shell script").

Also, what's "every day, another shell"? I have been using bash nearly two decades now, with the odd script written for pure sh in case it might be shipped to a customer. After Manjaro duped my into using zsh (I think they changed the default) I am now growing fond of the improved completion and history; but I could still stick to bash without being on a deprecated track.

The real evil part is that you're required to enter your license plate. Because heaven forbid that you pay for a parking spot, leave early, and someone else uses the 5 extra minutes that you'd already paid for.

I suspect the license plates are stored and sold (in hashed form if we're at all lucky) so some adtech company can use it as another datapoint in their quest for eyeballs.

And I have no problem with that, I think the whole tank not a tank debate is just pedantic.

As I originally said since most people aren’t familiar with the term AFV they pretty much consider anything that doesn’t look like a car and can shoot things a tank.

Self propelled artillery complicates thing especially artillery that can pretty much shoot as flat as a tank like the Paladin for example.

If you show a lay person a picture of the M109 they’ll call that a tank too.

There is no data for it, its definitional. The two definitions skew the perception of the answer. Perhaps you care about stability and somehow you've got a correlation between length of government standing and your perception of stability. What defines a country?

And that's not very surprising. While I expect low IQ people to mostly benefit from nootropics (e.g magnesium l threonate giving a 9 IQ point increase on average..)
I expect for people without existing deficits, to be able to gain ~50 IQ points by optimal training. If not then IQ tests should be improved to better reflect the ability of most humans to become rationalist virtuoses by optimal leveraging of their synaptic plasticity.
BTW anyone got a link to a "proper" online free IQ test? It's been a while since I've last benchmarked my brain and BTW I never understood how IQ tests could be comparable given that there exists multiple distinct sets of recognized (by whom) IQ tests.

I would also like to see more atypical/interesting intelligence benchmarks for humans, such as e.g. the amazing

>Capital flight makes no difference. Argentina's government has defaulted 9 times, capital has always come back and always will.
How does Argentina prove your point that capital flight makes no difference? Defaulting on loans doesn't even represent capital flight. It just means people who have already invested will not get their return for a very long time, if at all.

>If you believe capital flight exists, you believe that humans don't like money.

>If I believe X then I must believe Y.
Not really, If I had a lot of Turkish Lira and lived in turkey then I would call moving my ass before the collapse capital flight. And I would have been better off doing so. Same with Venezuela and many other countries that clearly weren't too big to fail.

Again an AFV is an umbrella term that covers any type of armored combat vehicle.

This would be probably the most correct term to use to describe a wide range of armored vehicles that is being shipped to Ukraine.

But I also don’t particularly have a problem with the media just using the term “Tank” as a catch all term.

No 'they' don't. And prefixing with 'to be fair' is sadistically hilarious in context.

To clarify. There are people who want fascism. Who want authoritarianism. Who are purposefully breaking political discourse. Who think women should be forced to have babies even if there is incest and rape. That if they get an abortion they could potentially get the death penalty. That white people are superior. That overthrowing the democracy is good (if they are doing the overthrowing). And on and on...

So no and 'to be fair', 'the other side of the proverbial fence' absolutely do not 'also see the same problem.'
It's not really consistent outside of temporal issues.

As mentioned there are buttons for redoing or changing the AI response. This is because it often spouts nonsense or loses the plot.

In my example above the god who should have been dead talked about himself as a third person.

The AI also often mixes up people's gender or roles. One issue that used to be very common but has improved lately is that it used to mix up who said what in dialogues.

Nine Core Java Questions
One possible path - Look for a common root cause of the firefighting. Make that the next piece of the puzzle to move to your new system. Also, maybe don't delegate strategizing that roadmap to this manager quite yet. Being a good delegator to your reports means knowing when not to do so. Step in, help out to make a plan, and then back off once they are executing the plan.

Another possibility is that they do know how to fix the problem but don't have the resources. This is where jumping in as an IC would help, but that is a band-aid, and a dubious one at that. If they are short on resources, fixing that falls directly into your job. I've seen new directors jump in too much instead of going to the leadership to argue for more resources. It doesn't often go well. Go fight for what your teams need. And if you cannot get the resources for your teams to get the job done, then figure out how to reduce scope. But do not demote someone for problems that are a result of you not getting them enough resources (if that turns out to be the case).
You can turn this around to see the massive positive impact of environmental factors... There were plenty of people around before the invention of written language who could not have even taken one of these tests. Is that an environmental degradation, or proof that we've largely succeeded in improving human intelligence through cultural inventions?

I work at the railroads, some traveler needed a ticket but couldn't figure out the machine. I couldn't figure it out either as I never use it. I gather other railroad employees and no one could make sense of it. We eventually just wrote them a paper ticket (intended for when the machines are broken)

It must have been a week later when it struck me the thing must have been out of ticket paper and just hid all the functionality. The remaining functions were for putting a trip on a kind of credit card that more frequent travelers use but as such card was not inserted the menus were "limited" to a forest of various kinds of discount cards and alternative means of travel like adding a metro or bus trip.

> It's not appropriate, because it's a poor generalization to begin with. People just see "frontrunning" and have a vague sense it's fundamentally illegitimate because of vague connections to the illegal practice

No, not because of vague connections, but because it does the same kind of destructive thing that’s bad (for the ecosystem) for the same reason it’s bad on the normal market: it extracts value from a transaction because of timing and a privileged position, disencentivizing positive-sum behavior. (In the broker’s case, because of knowing about the transaction; in the miner’s, because of having that mining power and being able to quickly execute on knowledge of upcoming transactions.)
That's correct. But if you already have a debt to a business or human person they must accept currency as payment for that debt. I think you missed the whole point of my comment.

Powershell 7 is cross-platform.
Great work! Thanks for sharing and making it Open Source!
The problem that our industry runs into (NB: not just this industry) with critiques like McIlroy's is that people remember the highlights ("Haha, LP is silly and makes fragile, Faberge eggs instead of robust systems.") instead of remembering the context (Knuth was asked to illustrate LP, he did, McIlroy critiqued the monolithic resulting program more than the LP style itself).

This happens repeatedly (not just this example, many others), and since the vast majority of people are never going to go back to the original sources we have a giant game of telephone. Generation after generation are given a variation on the summary theme, further and further removed from the original context. The speaker will elaborate on the criticism, but since they didn't read it themselves they're actually just bullshitting (semi-honest effort as they're pulling in the information they were given, but it's still bullshitting because they didn't bother to read).
This is something that really resonates with me - this should be a norm adopted by all banks, not the exception. Kudos to HSBC.

However, my interactions to date with the company have been riddled with signs that they are a dinosaur-corp, built on a foundation of inefficient and illogical processes, legacy tech, and Kafka-esque bureaucracy.
I’ve used scapy for years and found it especially useful when performing internal penetration tests. It has useful patterns for tasks like quickly putting together a custom DNS server, UDP source spoofing, walking all ICMP codes (or a quick and dirty ICMP redirect tool), or couple it with matplotlib and to estimate how many active hosts are communicating with a remote server based on TCP sequence numbers (I believe this is part of the scapy examples.)

Coupled with interfaces to import and export PCAP files, it’s also a great way to learn about or explore/tamper with network protocols.

The fact that it’s implemented in Python might scare some off, but I personally feel that this only adds to its usefulness since it can benefit from all of the external tooling and flexibility that comes with the language.
> I thought back to something a friend of mine says, "channel your inner middle-aged white man who'd feel entitled to ask for more". (Note that this is a statement said in jest, based on research that men are more likely to ask for raises, and doesn't have any racist undertones)

While I take the joke and sentiment at face value, as a member of said demographic, the word I think they were looking for is "dignity," and while it's a rare quality nobody has a monopoly on, it is precisely the value that institutions try to grind out of you, and what you need to negotiate effectively. It's the x-factor in leadership, the quality that causes dogs to stop barking, the dishonest to froth, women to swoon, children to feel safe, young people to seek mentoring, customers to sign with enthusiasm, staff to be loyal, trades to do a bit extra, service workers to feel elevated, antagonists to cease their hostilities, and yes, employers to give due consideration to whether they have made their best offer.

It was a funny aside in a valuable article, and self-deprecation is a peculiar UK/CAN thing, but I didn't get the impression the author knew enough to make a joke about it, and they should be more confident in the value and integrity they can provide, as they've done some really cool and fasctinating stuff and should own that.

This statement: "I struggle sometimes to keep track of why there always seems to be 2 steps forward, 1 step back progress around firefighting"
...makes me wonder if you have as much understanding of the fundamentals of firefighting as you think. If you are actually getting 2 steps forward, 1 step back, you are doing better than most organizations. Firefighting is intrinsically (almost by definition) dealing with situations that are not well understood or in control. If you ARE able to deliver a well-organized response to a firefighting situation, then one has to wonder why that kind of fire has stuck around long enough for your organization to get good at fighting it. So "two steps forward, one step back" implies progress towards the next system, and if that is true you're doing well.

Now, it's possible that the manager in question doesn't like being a manager, and only took it because they wanted the raise. But more reporting and "roadmaps" on firefighting sounds like a low-value-added response. The most important thing is whether or not any refactoring/improvement is happening in addition to the firefighting.

Cutting scope from the team so they can make faster progress, does seem like a reasonable option to investigate. The main danger to look out for is that the time required to transfer that scope to other teams might end up requiring more meetings and firefighting to deal with the transfer itself. But if it can be done without too much of that, reduced scope might allow for a better result.

Your comment on "criteria for firefighting" suggests that another possibility is that the manager doesn't feel empowered to say "we're not going to spend time fighting that fire", even when the problem is actually not big enough to be worth the distraction. In this case, some support from on high (you) to say that certain kinds of problems should not be considered urgent enough to derail development, might be a thing you consider. I don't know if any of the firefighting being done is actually something that could be ignored until the new system can be created, but it's one thing a second-level manager may feel more empowered to decide than the lowest level.
Let's schedule a scrum. Come ready with relevant user stories and appropriate story points. But maybe we need a powwow beforehand to decide on a theme. Either way I want us to settle on tasks an be ready to sprint by EOD.
