Actually, you can be resident for tax purposes in Spain and be required to pay taxes in both countries. That said, you'll get credits for the dual taxation, so it's not as bad as it sounds. However, if you're managing to avoid being tax-resident in Spain, then you've really just the IRS to deal with.

If you ever fancy renouncing your US citizenship, then you might be able to be not tax-resident anywhere... (see five flag theory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpetual_traveler) Or if not completely avoiding tax residency, you can at least minimise your exposure for the taxes you do need to pay.

Also, tax and healthcare mostly have nothing to do with each other... It's mostly your residency status (which is totally unrelated to Tax residency oddly). You can be resident in a country for tax purposes, but still not be eligible for Heath care or other social services...

Hope that helps somewhat.
Hire a professional accountant. They'll give you better advice than discussion forums on the internet. Even though HN is pretty decent for tech/business discussion generally.
> If I had an accountant I wouldn't be searching for this info!

Most accountants only know B&M, M&D, and SBOs. Accountants who know international tax laws, are seldom seen in the wild, but mostly employed as specialist in big companies.

In Germany tax office is required to answer every question. They wont tell you how to reduce your taxes, so you need to ask the right questions. But you have a signed paper afterwards, that you can show, if your books are checked 10 years later, telling that a tax officer claimed you did it right.

I can only tell the other way round:

If you are a German, and have an LLC in Tennessee, then this LLC is a path through taxed company, so you have to pay US income tax on it. Germany and US has a double tax agreement, so I do not need to pay taxes on the US income, but the US income is added to my German income to calculate the percentage of my Germany income that I have to pay as taxes.

Its now a bit more complex for US citizen in Germany. You have to file your US taxes till 15. Juni, if living outside US at IRS Center, Austin, TX, 73301-0215, USA. And your German taxes 10th of Mai. I advise to file the German taxes as early as possible, if self employed. You dont need to worry about this, if you are employed in your own company with payroll tax. Just ensure that your German tax return is ready, before you need to file your US tax. The double tax agreement between US and Germany will cause IRS to look at German taxes, whine and laugh, because German taxes are higher, and tell you that you need not to pay additional taxes in US.

My advise is to ask IRS.Frankfurt@irs.gov to confirm this!

Coming back to paying low taxes, and getting good health care same time with an US/Germany combi: Regardless if you are German or US citizen, imho the best combination is being employed at your own uGmbH in Germany, for only €1000/month. The uGmbH is not funded and owned by yourself but by your LLC in US that owns the intellectual property of your business. File invoices from your LLC to your uGmbH regulary. Your LLC will have nearly no costs. File US taxes as early, and German as late as possible in this case. So you benefit from low US income taxes, and an incredible low health care and unemployement insurance based on your low German income. Add a PLC in Estonia if you need a tax free money sink.

Optimizing Spain/US might be totally different. But you likely will be paying US tax as happy as I do - even if I'm not a US citizen ;-)

The only problem is that soloing inspires others to do the same thing and not all of them are going to be as good and some might die as a result.

True soloing should be done without filming it, I guess.
I'm sorry to say this, but this is extremely fishy and I hope it is all hypothetical. If it's not hypothetical you've just confessed to tax fraud.

Either way, it's bad advice.

Five ways open data can boost democracy around the world
These are exactly the kind of assumptions that I think this programme is taking aim at. Not to critisise you for thinking them - I think this is how most people, and society in general, view these issues.

Telling someone whose burnt out that they just need to reprioritise their life is like telling a depressed person to just cheer up. It's more complicated than that, and there are often deeper things that need to be untangled before someone can get better.

I haven't read the source article, but SourceForge at some point was real slow. Like, it would takes minutes alone to Log In at SourceForge, let alone checking out SVN repo. Accessing website hosted on SourgeForge was real slow too. I think during that year (not sure which year), tons of projects migrate either to Google Code or to GitHub. It was later that sourceforge improve.
This is amazing. The source, indeed, still contains `muffin` tags.
Many accountants tend to avoid trying to give you advice on cross border tax issues, mainly because they aren't qualified to give you proper advice and it can be so complex that even the authorities don't understand it. So, you sometimes have to figure it out for yourself, and the best way to approach it is to look at how the authorities in each jurisdiction will see it from their perspective. If you work and pay Spanish taxes, I assume you have the right to work in Spain too (e.g. EU citizenship or spouse of an EU citizen). In countries with strong government health insurance, private insurance is often not that expensive.

Isn't that weird? Didn't Jobs yell a lot? If he used it as a way of pushing people forward (and not just being an ass) wouldn't it make sense to yell at the people you like as well?
Well, sure, but with major caveats. That quadrotor would never work, there's no way it could carry a machine gun and much ammunition with a battery powered motor. Not to mention the problems of recoil in a (relatively) frictionless environment, telemetry, etc. It would look a lot more like the MQ-8 firescout, which is a hell of a lot bigger/louder/expensive than that. A small drone like that carrying lethal weaponry and being effective is still a ways off.
When my dad was working in Yemen in the early 1990's, the civil war broke out. C130s lifted him and a bunch of other American citizens out of the country at the first opportunity.

Outside the U.S., waving around an American passport still carries weight, and if you live in a tax-treaty country, all you pay for that is some additional paperwork.
The programming and engineering skills with the highest salaries
Regardless of the value of his opinion, I tend to agree : for the vast majority of games (where it is applicable, eg sport games do not count), I have found the stories extremely weak. The same power trip story is copy pasted to many games, especially AAA ones.
It is obviously subjective but I also feel a tendency to stay away from complicated plots, Deus Ex is one of my favorite games but I have hated Human Revolution. The plot is extremely predictable from its beginning to its end, it felt like a collection of the most popular cyberpunk tropes. I loved the fact that I could not trust anyone in DE, especially in some chapters (like Hong Kong) where it is up to you to travel in the open world in order to discover who is playing you (pretty much everyone, at different levels). In HR, that feeling is entirely gone, replaced with a paper thin conspiracy.
I am not sure he is entirely right though. Great storytelling has always been difficult. It is unfair to compare the average 2015 game to Monkey Island 1+2.
There were also some mediocre stories back in Sierra days, we have just forgotten most of these and mostly remember a couple of gems.
So many programmers have this weird inferiority complex when it comes to the term "engineer". Not you, but those who think that most programming can never be called "engineering" because people don't die if you introduce a software bug[1] (as if the only kinds of modern "engineers" have to do with immediately safety-critical things). I prefer the plain "programmer" myself, but I don't see the big deal unless "engineer" is a protected title wherever that person lives.

[1] Note that I said "most programming".

"According to reports, he lashed out because he was unable to order a steak at the Simonstone Hall Hotel near Hawes, North Yorkshire, where the production team were staying.

The Sun and Daily Mirror said the hotel's chef had gone home by the time they arrived and they were only offered cold meat platters, although Clarkson had ordered a £21.95 steak.

The papers quoted a source who claimed Clarkson blamed Mr Tymon for not arranging hot food and said there had been a "scuffle"."

I was surprised to find my old project there from 2009: a simple lib for utf8 font rendering with OpenGL. I exported it into github, only to find that it never had any source hosted in source control - all my source was in a tarball inside "downloads".

I guess there are many authors like me who don't even remember they are hosting something there - it would be sad to loose all that code.

This is incredibly sad yet incredibly inspiring - I wish I could have known him. Dr Paul Kalanithi's story resonates with me very similarly to Randy Pausch and his journey/battle through pancreatic cancer - the swell of emotions that I felt when I heard about his passing. It's painful to see these people who have so much youth, intelligence, intellect and eloquence, have the misfortune of getting dealt a bad hand. This type of person is rare, if you are lucky, you've had the honor and privilege of crossing paths with them at one point or another, and it has changed you for the better. Hopefully through their passing, we can all strive to be more like them and what they stood for.

And by the way, they are no longer a "legal" political party, they lost the legal representation because they didn't reach the electoral law requirements it would be irrelevant information if they would have something beyond the software, but they don't.

It's unclear whether you're asking a genuine question, or just using a rhetorical one to dismiss the idea altogether. I guess the lack of question mark on the second line points to it being the latter.

Consider that if you're already burned out - even if they "just" had to do with bad life prioritize - it's often not like you can just quit whatever you're doing and go on a retreat. You still have that 9-5 job, or whatever more heavy-weight responsibilities. Then it doesn't really matter what the original cause was - it's a mental health issue.

I don't live in a country where I'm likely to need an airlift out. That kind of thing is extremely rare, and in any case other countries also manage it without taxing their citizens living abroad.

> if you live in a tax-treaty country, all you pay for that is some additional paperwork.

If you start adding stuff up, between an accountant, time off work to meet him, and so on, it adds up to several hundred dollars, which is not chump change to me.

And all that after I've already done my Italian taxes, which are not fun at all, either. But I live here, get free health care here, and so on, so fair's fair.

It's still worth it to keep the citizenship for me, for the option value and because I have family there, but I do feel ripped off.

So many game developers are saying this... I wonder if there is any validity to it. Anyone run the numbers? Precious few indies are gracious enough to share their numbers but it's curious to me because the games continue to be made.

Clinical trials in the US test drug combinations and not just single drugs.

> With 90% of the patients not enrolled in a clinical trial we wanted to design a commercial solution that could help patients today rather then relying on the standard of care.

In other words, you are enrolling them in your own clinical trial without calling it such. Clinical trials are not perfect, but it's the best way we have to guarantee safety and efficacy.

> The pathway for us is as a CLIA certified service similar to other personalized genomics companies in cancer like Foundation Medicine.

Actually, it's very different. Foundation Medicine looks for known genetic variants and offers suggestions based on those. It is not offering novel or untested solutions. Their report is actually very poor if you are looking to make new discoveries.

I still can't see the real usefulness of linked lists, the idea of having a data container that doesn't have a transparent indexing algorithm sounds ill-advised.

Linked lists should be named "linked graphs" instead.

There is so much relevant science to learn about CPU caches, than there is about using a container which is based on nested pointer indirections.

You need to motivate them where it counts, the almighty $. I want to add I'm not saying this sarcastically at all. The motivation of hospital administration comes down to a bunch of numbers on paper. If you can _prove_ that they will have _significant_ gains by implementing one of these standards they will move. However, most of them have been around long enough to see the standards come and go and are aware that HL7v2 is still in use 99% of the time. To them it is truly a case of, "If it ain't broke, don't waste the money fixing it." My hope is that FHIR and its approach to solving the problem of a bloated unwieldy standard with extensions will gain ground. If hospital administrations can be convinced to implement a simpler and cheaper standard to start, which has the potential for extension in the long-term. It will go over far better than the current approach of, "We'll implement this new standard for you that will take nearly 2 years, cause budget overruns, and never really see adoption." (The only people that end up benefiting are the consultants implementing the spec.)

Additionally, there's still an emotional component of "You're not getting our data because we don't trust you know how to secure it properly." From the personal experience of having worked with the IT staff at various medical institutions there is often a level of paranoia around their data. Which, in some regards is fully justified given the regulations (HIPPA, HITECH, etc) they are required to meet. The issue is that it often moves beyond meeting the regulations into a place of attempting to exceed the regulations. Which, seems like a smart move until it is too late and you've only succeeded in adding extra bureaucracy into your internal processes. These added burdens are then foisted upon external parties who are attempting to integrate with the system and therefore, by the nature of the regulations, the processes which have been previously set forth by the implementing institution.

All of that said, I agree with your statement, "I know people on HN have fire in their breast to change the world but the rock is harder to move then many think.". However my take is that we are attempting to move the wrong rock. Healthcare institutions need to learn the correct way to introduce and enforce secure yet flexible processes and policies in regards to technology. After that occurs then the technology rock will be much easier to move.

I'm going to add that I've been a Medical Software Engineer for just shy of 10 years and it has been both an extremely frustrating and also extremely rewarding ride.

Cross-country tax issues can be challanging, because they are changing and just a few people understand them completely. The most important factor in your case is "center of living", which is defined very broadly, but for ease of understanding this is the country where you spend 183 or more days/year and where your family lives and where you have most friends and most private social life. This is where you will normally pay your personal taxes... if you pay some taxes in US already, then Spain will most propably deduct them and you will need to pay only the difference between spanish taxes and US taxes (under assumption there is "double tax treaty" between US and Spain).
The article linked was a reaction TO Thomas's article. :-)
Well you have to take something for a reasonable base, otherwise the argument becomes absurd quickly. We think of bare-metal (CPU-level) as our default base and take that for granted. But the CPU itself has many abstractions over physics, multiple levels of caching, branching prediction, some built-ins and so on. A modern CPU sits much deeper in the skyscraper that you describe but it's still nowhere near ground level.

Similarly, since with web browsers we get what we get, we might as well consider that our reasonable base for web development, it's not like anyone is going to do that part differently any time soon.
