No, I have used a few accountants in the past when I was a nomad but never found someone I'd recommend. I'd love to hear from any others here if they have someone they'd recommend, since I could use a new one myself.

Washington is a great place to be! If you start a digital nomad trip from there, your state taxes will be as simple as possible.

Regarding being dual-taxed, the US has dual taxation treaties with almost every country, so you can deduct the taxes you pay to another country from your US taxes. e.g. If you move to France, you'll pay taxes there, and when you file in the US you'll get credit for those taxes paid. There are numerous other complications for federal taxes as well! But you probably won't flat-out pay double.

+1 this works! I’ve seen it called “urge surfing.”

The article also talks about Eduardo Saverin, born Brazilian, become American, then renounced in favor of Singapore.

Awesome site! I love moving around the sun like some kind of god.

Tonight I'm adding auto-update to this little website I made that lists book likes from the popular blog marginal revolution http://mrbooks.io/

> In addition, the new APIs allow developers to more quickly show content to users by starting to fetch data before a component renders. Prefetching data in this way is not possible with the container-based APIs.

This is fantastic, prefetching can make for a great user experience.

Founder here. I'm obsessed with performance! Users love snappy web apps.

Hi! Founder here. Thanks for finding a bug in my privacy policy, I'll fix that. :/

I wrote a rails web app running on heroku. For the game server binaries, I spun up a server in a data center and control it using bash scripts that run in background jobs on heroku. I wrote jobs to do various tasks, like update config file, restart server, create initial server.

Let me know if you want more info!

I call bullshit

> Unless a company decides to sue Facebook (or accuse its products), the termination trigger has no actual effect.

Please everyone, don't rely on this advice.

> software engineers are the worst class of salary negotiators I've ever seen.

+1 :(

This article deserves the heavy criticism it has received here. I'll go further and say it is part of a trend you might call skepticism gone wrong. This is a intellectual movement that "throws the baby out with the bathwater" because they are so skeptical that they don't believe anything!

Many authors in this vein have read about, for example, cognitive bias, the many invalid results in scientific journals and the hoax/fake news/infowars trend. They see every human action as a result of bias, every result as invalid, and every news article as part of a misinformation campaign.

Having the most accurate possible understanding of the world we live in is only possibly by trusting information sources which deserve it, understanding the limits of what "quick and dirty" statistical analysis is capable of, and recognizing when people are influenced by bias, and also when people are acting with full awareness of bias.

This journalist [1] wrote a great book [2] about the lack of press freedom in Rwanda, and western complicity in press crackdowns. He's an amazing guy--accepted a job at Goldman during college, then reneged on the job to fly one-way to Africa and become a freelance journalist. That's without any experience as a journalist!

> "Coding is easy, marketing is hard"

It took me over five years in this business to fully internalize this. Programmers (me included) often complain about clueless entrepreneurs in this business, but even more rare than a good programmer is a good entrepreneur, who can sell/market and turn code into money.

Do you really want to be a googler or an entrepreneur? Visualize yourself one year from now, have you made progress towards what you really want to be?

OP here. Can you please link to that health insurance provider?

I've heard you get better rates on TopTal and through 10x.

Looking at their jobs page, I'm a bit shocked at how low salaries are in India

https://angel.co/adpushup/jobs/

1,000,000.00 INR = 13,985.88 EUR

and that's the top rate for the senior JS dev position.

You can hear Alexander Graham Bell speaking at a bit after 9:00

Do not take this personally. Companies make mistakes in the interviewing process and reject great people all the time. I have seen some absolutely amazing programmers with the chops to work anywhere look for jobs. There is always at least one company that rejects them. It's their loss.

Do not assume that you did something wrong. The mistake could be on their part. You made it through all of those technical interviews, so you will be able to find work somewhere!

A better headline: "U.S. makes money-laundering arrests"

patio11, you're usually right on the money, but not this time. While it is true that the programming mistake was probably small, the end result was catastrophic for these parents. I would ask you to step back and reevaluate your "take on consensual reality" in this case. And at what point did anyone consent to being marketed to as grieving parents?

> it’s not too surprising that human medicine may be largely wasted effort or harmful 13 (although most - especially doctors - would strenuously deny this).

This claim requires evidence, but the citation is to a blog post about nutrition, not medicine.

What are the language skills requirements? English or Spanish?

That may have worked well there, but this stunt is well-targeted to the culture at UChicago. We love this kind of quirky stuff.
