I’ve been a US expat in Canada for 21 years, and I can say the time and stress of US citizen based tax law is extreme. But every year I do it, send tons of info to the IRS, because I knew the laws, but I would love this burden being removed. I am not super wealthy, my net worth is ~$3 million which is from
decades of a high savings/investment rate into primary retirement accounts and equity in my principal residence.

On a side note, another draconian US expat tax law, the US will tax US citizens on capital gains over the US limit on the sale of your foreign principal residence. Crazy right. Don’t live the US, maybe never have, but if you have US citizenship, accidentally or not, or a green card, they can tax you on the sale of a principle residence located outside US jurisdiction.

The US/Canada tax treaty is good in the sense I rarely pay double tax, except for some special circumstances (stock options), but it is a ton of paperwork, information, and stress that I didn’t mess something up. I worked in Germany for a couple of years, and when I wasn’t a Canadian tax resident (I am also a Canadian citizen) the Canadian Revenue Agency didn’t care about my German income and I didn’t have to file any information for it. It was bliss. But of course the US IRS cared. This tax filing years were nightmares.
It's hard to argue that something that took until the 1920s to complete is decisive. The American Indian wars didn't end until 1924. That's hardly decisive.

It's not fraud, it's pretty clear marketing. When there was a shortage of wings, they stopped selling those and started selling thighs. Thus, Thighstop. This has literally nothing to do with tax evasion - you really are not understanding what they're doing at all.

This is kind of a bizarre thing to say... they are the same company, so there is just not universe in which Wingstop would sue itself.

Note: Capital is available to read for free here: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/

The beginning of Capital is quite dense (establishing the basic definitions of a study often is, and Marx's dialectical approach takes some getting used to if, like me, you never could understand Hegel) so I would recommend reading it along with David Harvey's lectures available on Youtube. However, the book does open up from there and becomes very much more concrete: working day lengths in the factory, increasing automation of industry, transition from feudalism by expropriation of land from farmers, ...

It is of course important to understand the works that Marx was critiquing or building on. Smith's Wealth of Nations, for example, is available for free from Standard Ebooks (https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/adam-smith/the-wealth-of-n...). This translation is very readable so I encourage you to take a look.

I was president of the board for a small non-profit organization and somewhat disagree - you probably don't need to enforce all the formality but it's still a good way to make sure things are done in an orderly fashion. Having motions, second and votes is also useful to the board secretary as it's easy to get the important parts in the minutes. I didn't generally hand off the "floor" and I instead let the conversation flow. As a non-profit, some things do require formal votes and tallies.
> ukraine split in two, and an economical disaster for the whole EU.

Well no, the worst option was going to happen, Russia takes over Ukraine, then takes over Transnistra/Modova, solidifies its hold over Belarus, then why not take over Eastern Europe again. Splitting Ukraine and having expensive gas and a recession isn't so bad. Of course taking back Crimea is what we should be aiming for.

Not all expats are bankers or lawyers. I’m a (non-expat) Australian, my brother used to live in Oregon-managing agricultural labourers on a vineyard. I don’t know what he was getting paid, but I doubt anywhere near as much as a lawyer or banker. He probably would have stayed, except his marriage (to an American) broke down. If an Australian can work in agriculture in the US, I’m sure the reverse can happen too. They’ll get screwed as much as a lawyer or banker will-just they’ll be less able to afford specialist tax advice, probably less aware they might need it (until some day it bites them)

> They also expect the country to send seal team 6 if they get abducted.

Not original poster, but

Economics is about making decisions when your decisions have trade-offs because you have limited resources. Everything has a price, but the prices aren't always measured in a nice money-based price tag for your convenience, they're ultimately measured by the next-best alternatives. Decisions and policies don't just have consequences, they have second-order effects and third-order effects and you need to chase those down too, because excluding anything makes you understand the costs wrong (e.g. add highway lanes to relieve congestion -> now there is more traffic, because of "induced demand", not sure that was a good idea -> but why was there even induced demand? where are those trips coming from and what was the cost of the previous configuration? is this a housing-policy thing now??). You also learn to worry a lot about how decisions are actually made by self-interested decision-makers, rather than by abstractions-seeking-the-greater-good, and you examine what the decision-makers' incentives are....

Whereas a work like Das Kapital tells you very little about how to think this way. It's not intended to; it's more about the relative influence of various actors within a political-economic system, while raising tough questions about the meaning of private property.
Sabine likes to swing an axe into a tree. Her preaching gets tiresome fast though.

She redefines science to require simplicity, when it simply doesn't require it. Many solved or solveable problems in science are ghastly complex and computers improved or solved them. The LHC is a most-obvious example for that category. Do I even need to point out the counter-arguments or are we just taking Sabine at her word..

This thinking mirrors a cultural-faith shift and has little to do with the premise of the article, that we dont know and cant know the universe before the Big Bang.

A scientist who doesn't preach is worth their weight in gold, usually because they're too busy doing science to preach.

She is the red dressed woman on the Tiber River telling us how she won't let this stand anymore. Meanwhile the rest of us just get on with it. Accordingly saying this comment was a waste of time.
Physics still has major gaps right in the middle - our two main theories of how the world works are mathematically incompatible. This leaves room for some significant new discoveries that could upend everyone's understanding of the world.

Not to mention that both QM and GR in themselves have inconsistencies or infinities. GR famously has a singularity in the center of a black hole, which means the math doesn't actually apply there. QM has the measurement problem, and the (probably related) problem of making the laws of motion linear, when we can clearly see highly non-linear behavior in reality.

If you ever find yourself as a single point of failure at a company, and you feel you're underpaid, screw being a "good team player"

"Good team player" is how companies manipulate you into getting more value out of you than they are paying you for.

Sorry but it actually is about economics and it is a pretty good description of capitalism but he makes some glaring errors about money by assuming that it is just a medium of exchange. Making such a grave error means that his proposed solutions to end capitalism are doomed to end in failure.

You're describing an auction principle. It's called merit-order.

It is very efficient at creating a transparent market and finding the "natural" market price. The same price that a free and transparent market would converge to.

The alternative are price caps. Which could be considered. But it's a choice between free and non-free markets.

Blaming merit-order is shooting the messenger.

Well, exactly. It’s not ‘comical’ to be skeptical of technology that hasn’t shown any real benefit.
Why don't we call this what it is: planned, intentional deindustrialization. The elites intend on sending us all back to the Stone Age. Do you think they will be suffering with no energy? Of course not; in fact, they will be the only ones allowed to use it.

Not that I've ever had experience with an aggressive move like that. But it doesn't really seem like their employer respects them, and sucking up to them at this point seems counterproductive.
Yes, likely that's all of us here. ...But they're probably not worried, they'd know our planned actions would be once-off and self-limiting and never come to fruition. ;-)

> If you're lucky enough to be in the second group, it means you need to file your foreign taxes before the US ones to end up knowing how much you pay. [...] so actually filing is somewhat unusual, and basically impossible to do before 15 April.

Would this work?

File in the US for an extension on filing. That gives you until October 15 to file. That doesn't give you an extension on paying, so by April 15th make an advanced payment of either what your US taxes would be without the foreign tax credit, or if you can reasonably make a conservative estimate your foreign taxes what you US taxes would be with that as your foreign tax.

After you know for sure your foreign tax you can do your US taxes and get back however much you overpaid with your advanced payment.

I suppose you could also file by April 15th without an advanced payment and without claiming the foreign tax credit, and then file an amended return after you do your foreign taxes to get back the overpayment.
Economics is mostly political economy. It's based on ideology more than anything moral or actually scientific. Neoliberalism has been the dominant theory since Keynesianism. It's been an abject failure, but nobody has come up with anything to replace it yet.

Iridium flies at about 450mi above the ground, SpaceX/Starlink does a bit lower around 350mi. Both are still a VERY long way to transmit a gigahertz signal, especially unless you are standing in a wide open area with no obstructions of the sky. Iridium uses frequencies well suited for space to ground comms and has specially designed antennas on both ends with high power radios (hence the whip antenna). Even with all that, Iridium is unreliable at best, but better than nothing. So now you want to do that with standard 5G frequencies (which are more impacted by weather), using standard terrestrial phone antennas and radios on the ground, and you expect it to work?

GW = 1000000 kW

This article I found randomly (so I would only roughly consider this ballpark right) stated natural gas construction cost $812 per kW

https://proest.com/construction/cost-estimates/power-plants/

So 814 million per GW, but that is just construction, you have a massive cost in extracting the fuel and of course burning it that the above number doesn't take into account.

I mean in the end it doesnt matter,the cost of coal and natural gas is destroying our planet.

IPv4 addresses are written in base 10 for human users.

The "special" case is supporting network addresses to be written as 10.2932832 ("convenient" for class A's), 172.16.61031 (ditto for B's), or just one big address like 39282329, when we're used to 4 octets separated by dots.

Not every bit of host software supports these cases anymore, as basically their sole remaining use case is as a curiosity or to circumvent bad security controls.
This isn't true.

I've got one person under me and have done for 3-5 years.

Seems like it's a good time to work a more leisurely 8 hour day, turn off the pager outside work and take all the vacation you're entitled to.
Well, due to the nature of math there are technically hundreds of questions you can ask (specific behaviour of the infinite number of diophantine equations, improving constants in estimation, whether there exists a prime number that satisfies XYZ, etc), but those problems are becoming so hyperspecialized that very few people if any will care about them. There may be one more paradigm shift that is related to stuff that Sholze is doing and there is certainly some work to do in proof theory ala Voevodky's univalent foundations so we could see a couple more things but the vast majority of basic foundational work in math is done.

So while we have a few more fundamental problems that most people have heard of like the Riemann hypothesis and the twin primes conjecture, don't expect to have any more of those. (Certainly the more recent ones are already so specialized that few people outside the immediate area would ever understand or even care about them).

I'm also not sure why there's such a negative view towards the end of progress on this site---a lot of people seem to take it as an axiom that currently "useless" things will eventually become useful but I simply do not believe that is the case (and this is coming from someone who has published quite a few papers in pure math).
