The IRS needs to stop taxing US citizens abroad. It is draconian and taxation without representation. Even if you don't own any taxes you need to declare all assets over 10k and file a return. The US is the only country (other than Eritrea) that does this taxing of people who don't earn in the US.

Isn't part of the reason the US exists because certain people no longer wanted to pay taxes to the king of England?

Many are giving up citizenship because of this but now the price to do that has risen 400% to over $2000 just for processing not including any back taxes you may need to pay.

I dunno. If it's able to do what you want automatically that's amazing. If I can just plug the printer in and have it work that's amazing. If I can turn the wireless on my laptop on and it works that's amazing. And so on.

The problems arise when it doesn't automatically do what you want it to do and you don't have a good way of fixing it yourself. I'm not in a position to understand init systems so I will be in this camp if there's ever any problem with any init system. What matters to me, as the end user, is how likely it is to work automatically.

If systemd 'just works', then what's the problem? If systemd is broken... well, that's a problem, isn't it. But from what I've seen a lot (though not all, of course) of the arguments against it are highly political/philosophical and aren't based on whether it's actually working or not.

I can't tell at all. Fortunately, as long as someone hasn't declared another function with the typoed name, either Intellisense or the compiler will tell me.

I have a much harder time with "_tcscpy_s" and similar suites of functions where a single-letter typo is likely to be a different function with the same signature.

(for 'tomp') yes it's legal to use iPlayer with no license, apart from that part of iPlayer where you can watch what's showing right now on for example BBC1.

Netflix has no equivalent of a broadcast channel so all of it is usable without a license.

People are certainly "out of each other's league," at least in the sense that some people do not measure up to others' desires.

Of course, you can't really know what their qualifications are. Only they know, and they're going to run deeper than first impressions. So no, they're not out of your league yet!
> You say there is some kind of hidden audience that would buy comics if they just stopped portraying female characters the same way they portrayed spiderman? In sure there are some people that feel that way, but I don't there would be enough of those to support the industry, because, again, the internet and other mediums are just wrecking their business.

You don't need to listen to me—read the responses in this very thread from HN readers in other countries, which have a much more broad comic book readership. It's filled with them! Just from a cursory glance, we have responders from France, Sweden, Belgium, Norway, as well as yes, Japan—and the enormous webcomic industry. The idea that nobody would ever buy comics except for adolescent males is both foolish and false. The evidence against it is tremendous.

> However, with graph databases I get the best - and even better - of both of these worlds. My book entity contains a pointer to the author(s), so to query the book and their authors is even faster than a relational database.

Many folks take this as a given, but the performance difference is often not that large, and may even be in the other direction, if you build the right index (e.g., on the AuthorID in this case). The index is essentially those pointers as well. If the data fits in memory (Neo4j, in the past at least, has pretty much required that), then the B+-tree index lookup is also very very fast. You would be surprised at how fast PostgreSQL can do even seemingly complex graph-natured queries, e.g., finding, for an author, the co-author with which it has written most books.

The 3-month-tourist-visa case is pretty tricky. You can buy travel health insurance pretty reasonably, but most policies limit the length of a covered trip to 1 month at a time, and specify that it cannot be for work or study. If on the other hand you have official residence in another country, you can either buy local insurance there, or be covered under their national system (if they have one). But if you're somewhere for 3 months as a tourist (or "tourist") and have no local ID/registration, getting insurance that will cover that scenario is not easy. It's possible some travel insurance doesn't have the 1-month-per-trip limit, but all the ones I've seen do.

I agree with everything else you're saying except this. Higher wages could also cause less people to consider founding a startup.

True, higher pay would allow people to save more and thus making it financially easier - but it also would mean a higher opportunity cost [for the same risk], making it psychologically more difficult.

I think Gaston is still unavailable in English - I'm not such a fan of Spirou and Fantasio but I recently bought Cinebook's "The Marsupliami Thieves" as it was the only Franquin book available in English, sadly.

Like you, I enjoy Gaston significantly more than Spirou; he also has a more adult work called Idées noires (Dark Thoughts), which is filled with great (and often disturbing) dark humor. It's probably not translated to English either, alas.

> Comics are how they are because the market imploded and they have to appeal to the niche of of niche that is their customer base.

It's been a long time since that implosion, that isn't an excuse any longer for why comics continue to alienate new readers and reinforce stereotypes.
It is very strange to me when I see public discourse about Free Speech in any context not involving the government. Free Speech is not some unlimited right, Free Speech is more akin to a limitation on the Government's power to restrict my speech. However, just as important as Free Speech is my right to contract, including contracting away certain rights - it is for the free market to decide if the terms are acceptable.

The free market has spoken and it appears Developers are willing to contractually exchange their right to publicly disparage Apple in exchange for their apps appearing in the App Store. Of course Developers would prefer not giving up any rights, just as I am sure Developers would prefer not sharing revenue with Apple, and if the Free Market did not accept Apple's terms then Apple would have to change or fail allowing room for new competition.

While this is a guess, I would be shocked if the EFF does not include similar provisions in their employment agreements (i.e. restricting the rights of their employees to publicly disparage EFF, or at minimum restricting employees right to speak about EFF's trade secrets) - not that I am suggesting anything nefarious on behalf of EFF or some double standard, simply that such provisions are boiler plate and industry standard.

This is not a conscious boycott due to ego protection. This is not simple hollywood villains, these doctors are humans. Much more complex than that.

The situation is more about someone coming to you, a person who take care of your animals for 20 years now, saying that a particular fruit that just grow in mountains can save your animals when they eat before noon. And to support this he ponts out that his animals have much better survival rates.

Imagine that the reality is that just eating that fruit, grown wherever, any time of day, already improve your animals health.

Sure, the right thing to do is keep testing the different hypothesis until you understand why his animals have better health. But if the guy comes yelling at you, very arrogant and calling you ignorant and stupid; it might be just too natural to realize that fruits growing on mountains are the same that grows everywhere; so everything the guy says must be bullshit. F* that guy, who he think he is?
You're not picking up on my hyperbole. I don't actively hate everyone around me. I'm saying there's no guarantee the people I work with are gonna be the same people I'd hag out with outside of work. I feel I have to say this, because I notice so many articles and comments on HN consisting of founders calling their start-up a family and stressing culture fit. This is a bad idea for a host of reasons.

In most workplaces, you aren't obligated to like your coworkers. Just to tolerate them, and work as a team. Making me go away with them for a week doesn't sound like a "vacation." It sounds like a ton of work. It seems you agree with me on that point, but reckon it's ok for remote workers. That's where we disagree. I don't take jobs that require me to travel, and that wouldn't change for remote work.

I should point out that even if you tolerate most of your coworkers, there's probably one you really hate. Maybe they have an annoying laugh, microwave fish in the break room, and constantly make bad jokes. Imagine taking a vacation with that person!

But hey, part of life is learning to work with people who are different than you. I hope we don't lose that as people shift into remote working situations.

That's a really interesting question; I know plenty of developers that move on to making less money. Either though Developer -> (part time) Developer, Developer -> Teacher or in one case Developer -> Raft Guide. But, I don't really know what happens as an industry.

However, I seems like a lot of officers retire early and either just retire or take a side job with higher pay and little benefits or just something to pass the time.

Honestly, I have no idea what the average is, but there are probably some interesting trends.

Lennart seems to harbor this very strange belief that developing your software in one repository makes you Unix-like, and that this alone is sufficient entirely.

So by this logic, a standalone Unix kernel is not Unix-like, but a fully integrated DOS clone, is.

In addition:

Then we convinced the Fedora Technical Committee to adopt it, and then Red Hat internal management accepted it for RHEL, and we managed to convince every committee that mattered, bit by bit.

So there was, in fact, a PR campaign.

So Journald is a requirement, and Udev is a requirement. But pretty much all other components are completely optional.

Though for some reason the build system doesn't let you disable a ton of these components by default.

The committers group is quite diverse, and for us it’s quite an exercise in making the diversity of the community be reflected in the diversity of the people who work on it.

This is not as idealistic as Lennart portrays it. See Fallacy #13 here: http://judecnelson.blogspot.com/2014/09/systemd-biggest-fall...
The interview wasn't as bad as I expected from the OP's opinion but this one seems mind-bogglingly wrong:

"What’s typical for Unix, for example, is that all the tools, the C library, the kernel, are all maintained in the same repository, right? And they’re released in sync, have the same coding style, the same build infrastructure, the same release cycles – everything’s the same. So you get the entire central part of the operating system like that. If people claim that, because we stick a lot of things into the Systemd repository, then it’s un-Unixish, then it’s absolutely the opposite. It’s more Unix-ish than Linux ever was!"

I don't even know how you could get this misconception. This really does sound clueless or trollish.

The rest of the interview is of a better quality and you follow his reasoning much better even if in the end you would still disagree with him.
> Comics were never supposed to be educational or have any non-entertainment value and primary tarted at hormones soaked male teens.

This hasn't been true of comic books for several decades now. The medium has many examples of high quality, well written, and unique books. Also, the demographics of comics has changed many times over the last 100 years, the focus on men over the last couple of decades is recent phenomenon in the grand scheme of things.
Irrelevant: he conquered his fear.
It's no coincidence that Comic Books and Video Games have gone hand in hand. A long time ago there used to be quite a number of comics that targeted young kids, girls and people other than the 11-15 year old male demographic. There's also been lots of effort put into making games that will appeal to people outside of that demographic.

You could say, numbers don't lie, that those titles weren't being sold in enough quantities to keep them alive...and in some sense that's true. But how many ultra-niche comics with bizarre indie storylines stay alive year after year?

Actually a very large number of women I know ended up just reading Manga, they managed to find storylines and characterizations that they enjoyed. And now those women are watching cartoons, movies and dramas based on those same Manga. Most comic book stores you go into have a Manga section these days. But Manga is also full of titles with lots of sexualization. Like anything you have to be a smart consumer and not write off an entire class of entertainment, like movies, just because adult film stores exist.

It's the same with video games, after decades of struggle to find the market, some surveys are showing that women make up a significant portion of computer-game players: with leading games like The Sims, Bejeweled and WoW having huge populations of women playing them.

So the market is there, it's just that the makers are not doing a good enough job of hitting that market. Console game makers are just now starting to learn from computer game makers, and we're starting to see decent titles (mostly PC ports) to woo the other 50% of the market. But they too have really put out some crap trying to find that market.

But here's the truth, the women in mainstream super hero comic books are barely anatomically correct, but so are the men. Average characters possess exaggerated musculature not even the Greek gods possessed. And everybody has fantastical powers. These aren't meant to be forms of entertainment that represent reality...even a little bit. They're meant to be highly exaggerated depictions of reality, but the vector of exaggeration is very obviously on stereotypical male vectors.

To add to your comment...

My first game was approved and released on Apple's App Store 2 days ago. It's currently displaying in the "Featured" section of its category. As a fledgling game developer who is learning to fly, trying to make a dream come true, I can say that I simply do not have the financial resources or marketing muscle to reach the audience that my game is reaching on my own. I just would not have this exposure available to me as a solo coder, and for that I am grateful. Also, I'm not saying that I'm special in any way; actually, I suspect that my story isn't much different from the stories of other game developers who are just getting started.

Up until the point that I started developing the game, I'd never owned an Apple product. I figured that I might as well try something new, and get some exposure with OS X, Xcode, etc. So, I ordered a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 5S... and then I lit the fuse.

And that is why the game ended up on iOS. Yes, I know that I've sort of locked myself in with a single platform, rocking Swift over cross-platform options, embracing that beautiful, "Walled Garden", etc., but, I had to start somewhere.

In the final analysis, I own the code. I can convert the code and create versions of the game on the platforms of my choice.

I can certainly understand if people have issues with Apple, and of course they have every right to voice and discuss their concerns. However, the restrictions outlined in the petition have not prevented me from delivering on my dream.
I could be wrong but it seems you have issues with the idea of games for adults and games for kids. The fact that a game is unsuitable for your child to play, or even watch you play, prevents you from enjoying certain games seems just wrong. Did you stop watching movies rated PG-13 or higher as well?

And why is it wrong for young children to understand the concept of life and death? I mean, an overly gory game is one thing but I don't think my ten year old slaughtering opponents by the dozens in Minecraft is going to cause her to grow up with psychopathic urges.
I think, we have some work to document what those values mean. RES in graph - is not total RSS memory usage, it is memory ruby has allocated on C heap via `malloc` calls.

If you are familiar with Ruby internals, ruby heap can store small sized objects (such as smaller strings, smaller arrays etc) in its own heap, but for larger objects ruby uses `malloc` and the ruby heap itself just keeps a pointer to memory allocated. The RES size in graph is approximately that value.

Total RSS size of ruby process is lot bigger, it is combination of C heap, Ruby heap and other allocations which ruby is not even aware of (such as a C extension using `malloc` calls).
The android market is fragmented in many different manufacturers. I'm pretty sure that none of those individual manufacturers comes close to the market share the iPhone has.
It is legal. The only time a license is required is when you're streaming 'live' television by any means.

Effectively what this means is you can't dodge a license to watch television by watching live (By live I mean stuff that would be on the TV if you turned it on at that moment) TV through your iplayer. In Britain (not sure about other places), the iPlayer has a button to allow you to tune in to live TV. It's when you click that button you are in breach of licensing law.

The whole thing is stupid and archaic, but that's the price we pay for ad-free state TV.
Yes. As long as it's not live, you don't need a license.
That is not providing information about how to protect against the vulnerability regardless of a patch from Microsoft. Full disclosure is the only way to go.
I just tried the following simple example:

struct S {
int i;
char c;
int j;
};

void f(void) {
struct S s1 = { 0, 0, 0 }, s2 = { 0, 0, 0 };
memcpy(&s1, &s2, 9);
}

int main(void) {
f();
return 0;
}

MSVC, Clang, and PC-Lint are all silent on the code (which is reasonable behavior since it's impossible to glean programmer intent from that snippet -- maybe the programmer really only wants the first nine bytes!). (Btw, yes, I am using the analyzer features for MSVC and Clang, not just relying on high warning levels.)
My first start-up, I was taking phone calls for customer support.

I was shaking the first time I did it, and trying to direct the person to the email address for support. But I was a lot better the next time.

Do you know how to figure out if someone does not own a TV? Don't worry, they'll let you know as soon as they can.
"Detector vans" are a myth.

There is no reliable evidence that they exist. The BBC likes to perpetuate this myth for obvious reasons.

EDIT: sorry, I mean there is no reliable evidence that they are actually used for enforcement. Several vans do exist that were used in TV advertising to start this myth. Whether they worked or not is very debatable. (Certainly their supposed detection mechanism wouldn't work with LCD TVs, now more common than CRT TVs.)
It is legal to watch shows that have already been broadcast without a license, and it's legal to watch netflix/DVDs without a license.

It is only illegal to watch or record live TV broadcast without a license. This applies regardless of whether you use a TV or BBC iPlayer to receive the broadcast. IANAL etc.
