Buying property doesn't expose you to GILTI/transition taxes. Neither does investing in a business. You just have to pay taxes on income derived from that business, as normal. FATCA can be completely nullified by not maintaining f

> Yes, this is a remarkable pain to learn and administer, but it's all possible to do without paying thousands in ongoing accountant and lawyer fees. Where does someone begin this process? A few starting points would be appreciated.

If you become a US citizen you have to file yearly IRS tax returns, calculate and pay taxes. There is no getting around this, it does not matter where you live. The US has bilateral tax agreements with certain countries to avoid double taxa

Looks like living abroad is not the issue here, being an owner of a foreign corporation is. There are millions of Americans living abroad, maintaining their US bank and retirement accounts.

This is suspicious to say the least. First of all, it's not clear why they'd take the economic hit to provide a service like this for seemingly no reward. Additionally, for something that advertises anonymity and security, this su

I really don't see any value in these sort of half-baked posts full of inaccuracies that contribute to low SNR. Someone mentioned that it's a resume puff piece, but to me, it does more harm to the person that wrote it than good. I

> Lisp has extremely powerful code generation, but makes serious performance compromises This is a serious exaggeration. Common Lisp has extremely good compilers that can meet C performance. There are plenty of Scheme implementations (I

It doesn't seem to you like the game should be played in the way they reinforced and strongly & continuously advertised? And you're wondering why people are angry? It's your prerogative to cut CDPR as much slack as you wi

> If you think it's not fun -and- it has nothing going on, why play it -twice-? "If you think the car is no fun to drive, why take it for a spin, twice?" Playing it twice is what allowed me to form this opinion. The game o

It took me around 20 hours to finish it the first time. Second time was a lot faster since I was essentially playing the same game and I could fly through the same situations and dialogs. It's a hollow experience, pretty but zero subst

The main story is short and as I said, you're on railtracks. It's not like you can get lost in the world like in GTA or RDR, there is no world for you to get lost in. It's all smoke & mirrors. Also, pandemic lockdown in m

I completed it twice -more out of boredom and getting my money's worth than actual enjoyment- and my biggest complaint is that the game is totally dumb and a complete waste of time to those more philosophically inclined. It feels like

You didn’t address any of his points and your rebuttals come across as little more than frantic handwaving. Moreover, as has been pointed in this post, VLAs don’t necessarily need to have security implications since they can be implemented
