If one technology causes less deaths than another, why is it relevant how either compares with any third number?

Put another way, let's assume the energy death numbers are not at all "significant compared to overall construction work accidents". Is one death by rooftop installation accident less tragic than one death by radiation poisoning? Just because you can lump the first into the big pool of construction work deaths, while the radiation death sticks out by itself?

No! You would not have to pay American taxes on the income you have earned while living abroad. There is the foreign income exemption which essentially says that the IRS does not care to tax the first $100,000 you earn. For taxes above that, you first deduct dollar for dollar what you have paid to the foreign tax authority. Ball-parking it, you would have to earn more than $180,000 per year to need to pay US taxes. You still have to file US taxes, which is a cost and an inconvenience, but is manageable.

Of course, you must be genuinely living abroad to apply for this. This means either spending enough time outside of the US (> 330 days in a tax year, if I recall correctly) or have enough proof that you are really living abroad (things like primary residence in your name, bills, bank accounts, mortgage, insurance, kids at school -- regular every day stuff).

Now if you want to game the system and just "kind of" live abroad in order to take advantage of the income exemption, that's a different story.

I think it's a bit of both. I stopped checking bags in because of all the hassles - delays, lost bags, etc. This was well before airlines started charging for checked bags, and I know many others (mostly frequent travelers) in the same boat. It's not a lot of fun showing up in London without your luggage when you have a meeting in Cambridge the next morning.

Less frequent travelers I know stopped checking luggage in after the airlines started charging.

The greatest changes in the new NOAA surface temperature analysis is to the ocean temperatures since 1998. This seems rather ironic, since this is the period where there is the greatest coverage of data with the highest quality of measurements – ARGO buoys and satellites don’t show a warming trend. Nevertheless, the NOAA team finds a substantial increase in the ocean surface temperature anomaly trend since 1998.
...
The global surface temperature datasets are clearly a moving target. So while I’m sure this latest analysis from NOAA will be regarded as politically useful for the Obama administration, I don’t regard it as a particularly useful contribution to our scientific understanding of what is going on.

You are right. As long as you can demonstrate an ability to generate income for yourself and thus by extension taxes for the government, you are welcome here.

Needless to say, this one-dimensional measure of a person's "worth" unfortunately attracts exactly the sort of pompous ass that everyone dislikes.

Edit: I re-read my post and realized it could be misconstrued to mean that you are not welcome. I apologize if this was your interpretation. I meant to say, using "economic indicators" as a basis for assessing whether an immigrant is "worthy" to join the tribe is misguided.

Well, if it makes you feel better, he probably made a bad decision paying off the mortgage right away considering that he has no idea what he's going to do to earn money going forward. It would have been better to continue paying the mortgage for the time being (interest rates are absurdly low) and have a big cushion to fall back on if the whole "I don't wanna be part of the rat race, maaaan" thing doesn't work out.

Why so many companies manage and evaluate projects in Excel?
Well, you should still range check it. If someone manages to [un]intentionally corrupt bud_client_s.remote.(unsigned int)host_len, it's not secure, it will become a stack overwrite.

Defensive programming like that is a very good idea especially for something network facing.

If you're sure it's always at most 46 bytes, make it 48 bytes and specify "#define BUD_MAX_HOST_IP_LEN (48)".

Very secure and compiler will probably replace those memcpys with a few SSE [1] instructions, because 48 is a multiply of 16.

Copying 48 bytes is always much faster than copying 1 byte with a dynamic length argument for memcpy.

[1]: Like 6x MOVDQU instructions. Probably interleaved with the rest of the code to hide latency.
It's very difficult to compare like for like though.
For example, US property taxes are a completely different animal than Irish ones and by and large they are massively higher. Healthcare costs are not free in Ireland but they are significantly lower than in the US. And if anything really bad happens to you or your children in Ireland you are financially far more secure.

The US always appears to have a much lower tax rate but once you compare similar lifestyles things are not as different as you might imagine.

While not burnout related,

I found out a while back, and this is somewhat paradoxical, that if I care TOO much, I'm less happy. What happens is I notice all the stuff I can't fix, or need to fix, and other people get stressed out making them fix it. The end result is that I stop caring quite as much (I still care), get happy, and then start caring too much again.

It's especially hard at times when you have a lot of energy and want to make something work and you have to fight others who don't want to make it work. 8 hours plus of your day is a lot, so you want it to count, to matter, and that makes you care, to define yourself by that work, and that makes it hurt more. The alternative though, is just collecting the paycheck, which is also bad!

The trick is finding a balance and making sure you also define yourself by other things. And this is a very hard thing for creative folks to do, because it feels like their art, and it's easy to always want to hit the next target/goal/feature, in a never ending wave. The catch is they don't stop. It's a continuum. One of my first jobs as a kid was in a grocery store, and I learned clearing out the line was impossible, and the beeping doesn't stop. It is madness to want the beeping to stop because people from other lanes just come over to yours, and it won't.

I'm not great at this, but you just have to enjoy the people and the things along the way - as there's not a destination.

I don't understand the desire to pay off the mortgage after a big windfall, especially with interest rates so low. I suppose you get a vague sense of security, as in "the bank can never take my house away now", but you just took a big chunk of liquid money that could have been used to pay any kind of expense, and you put it into very illiquid home equity that was being loaned to you at a long-term locked-in rate barely above the historical rate of inflation.
Somehow I don't think that Sweden will miss a white supremacist. I do worry about the US, though. This nutjob will most likely be armed over there.
Agreed on the part of potentially lost luggage, but I think having to wait is going to be a thing of the past soon. Alaska Air already has a 20 minute guarantee. If you bag isn't on the carousel 20 minutes after arrival at the gate, they give you $25 off your next flight or 2,500 miles.

Changing the baggage rules will drive innovation/competition elsewhere. I think for the better.
You don't have to justify yourself for quitting your boring full-time job. Most people don't have that option and you're in a fortunate position. I wish I knew more people like you with the courage to actually quit once you're able. I have too many friends who continue to slave away, complaining about their jobs, yet have banked 7 digits+, all because they think that they'd feel out of place and without things to do if they quit, or just want to continue accumulating more money. I don't see a reason to accumulate money if you have no time to spend it.

Not at a busy train station in Holland.

200+ bikes are removed per day at Amsterdam's central train station for being parked outside of the designated bicycle parking areas (e.g. sidewalks, bridges, alongside the walls of the station). Even within the designated areas, you usually have to be parked in a bike rack or your lock will be cut and the bike removed.

At busy stations it would be great to know which one of the designated spots you should bike towards. Biking farther away and walking for 3 minutes is much better than guessing incorrectly, searching for a spot for 10 minutes, and still having to walk for three minutes... especially when you need to catch a train!

"...by doing things radically different". This is one of my biggest beefs with our tech culture. We're arrogant. We need to step back and realize that a great deal was invented and accomplished before we were born. Many billions of people have passed through life on Earth before us. Some did "radically different" things, but more likely, most did not. What makes you or I so special to think that it's something we're entitled to. Of course we should strive to do our very best and have high goals, but our expectations really should be tempered by reality (not our ego).

"I've been paid handsomely in the last 5 years by doing pretty much the exact same things...". How do you think these roles think about doing the exact same things? Painters, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, bus driver, accountant, sales executive, restaurant owner, sales clerk, etc.

These results only imply time travel if you insist that something must either be a wave or a particle in the first place, and that 'therefore' the particle must be communicating with itself back through time somehow. Funny that a thought experiment originally designed to challenge the notion of wave-particle duality would instead be used to suggest time travel.

One could make the visualisation app work for a reduced data set and then constantly add to it whilst downloading. It would also make development easier. So you start with 2-3 years, make the app, make some scripts to automatically download and process what you need to process, and then add the other 147-148 years. This means... downloading only 164 - 245 GB of data... that'll keep me and my 10mbps broadband busy for more than 2 days :)
It's cheap if you're coming from a developed nation and are comparing local costs with what you earn there.

Remember, the average wage in Poland (according to GUS) is around $12750 yearly, so a $550/mo apartment (the average, from what I know amongst friends) in Warsaw is quite expensive for the average Pole.

So, why are wages so low? Well, we'd like to know as well :).

There are quite a few different topics in this post. I just take one: the fact that people keep reinventing the wheel (libraries/systems/platforms) and the frustration that triggers.

Humans aren't really "built" to cooperate, right? I think almost all could accomplish far more if it would be easier/more obvious to work together. We call competition healthy, and it might be, but it also takes the focus away from cooperation.

It takes a lot of effort to make others (peers, customers, managers,...) work together. And if some don't (which is often the case), the amount of effort required grows exponentially. Although the satisfaction is huge, it's easy to think the cost is greater than the benefit.

Just a guess of course, but maybe this is what the author lacks in his/her career? Too little cooperative efforts on the tasks he/she performed?

Contradict each other. Of course no one WANTS to work but there are things that HAVE to be done. Like farming, hunting, building shelter. Chopping firewood to keep warm in the winter. You know, modern, made up problems like that.

> We would live in a world where everybody has the time and freedom to pursue their own dreams, without having to be afraid they will get in trouble later (because no pension built up etc).

There is very little time to pursue anything other than survival in a subsistence existence. And you better hope you have children to take care of you when you're physically unable to complete the work.

The fact that people have any time at all to dedicate to non-survival-related pursuits should tell you how important all that work that we're not "meant" to do is in the broader scheme of things.
