Fun fact: citc was one guy's 20% project that came together in a few weeks, iirc, and spread shockingly fast because it was so obviously better than the status quo.

That, and then there are fun rules about whether you can invest in local mutual funds like anyone else who lives there, without either having to compile massive tomes of paperwork with information only the fund managers have or entering an entirely bizarre regime of tax pain.
FWIW, the exit tax only kicks in if you've got over $2M or so in net worth (assuming you've filed and paid your taxes for the past five years). Still obnoxious, though.
and this is what drives me a little nutty about programmer culture, generally, in the age of LLMs

i don't understand the argument about free will.
no human being has ever visited the present. no one lives there by definition, because our brains are extensive in space and the speed of light is finite and the speed of neural transduction is vastly slower than that.
People need to learn from the Luddites (the real ones, not the modern misunderstanding): if technology can replace human labor, we have to ensure the displaced humans benefit rather than suffer from the change. Technology displacing scut work doesn't have to be bad for society, if we don't let it.
i sort of think way more social problems could be solved by tripling every city's parks and rec department budget than we might expect
I do think there's something smart to be written about how all of our traditional ways of being transgressive have been legalized or normalized, leaving people with shit like this as their outlet. Used to be you could smoke weed to be a little bad, now that's for dads.
If you’re in or near Dublin over the next couple of weeks, you absolutely should go to the Pallas Gallery, where my friend and creative collaborator, Fiona Marron, will show recent work on subsea cables and the work around them (with a few lil texts by me)

I've long been sounding the alarm on Section 702 of FISA, and secret, legal loopholes the government uses to spy on Americans. The program is up for reauthorization in April and I'll be fighting like hell to make sure the current program doesn’t get rubber stamped.

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative.
“Christianity is when Greek-speaking Romans become Judaism Weebs” is reductive, but not exactly wrong.
The dubs vs subs debate was the subject of several heated ecumenical councils
On the other hand, if your lifestyle does not require a leash for your glasses maybe you aren’t going hard enough
