It's nothing new. People have always changed jobs. And people who change every two years end up with 50% better salaries over time. If you haven't added enough value in those two years to make it worth hiring you in the first place, then you probably weren't a great hire in the first place.

Re:Ask HN: Whats the best alternative to Inbox?

I receive mail in English, Spanish - and occasionally French - and I've been so impressed by the categorisation, and even auto-reply suggestions in both English and Spanish (too small a sample to say on the auto-replies with French). Maybe there are other languages it's not hot with, but these at least I'm happy with. On the plus side, this is a feature that's made it to Gmail already, so if they can handle hiding non-critical messages till the morning, I'll be happy to switch back.

The important part of that being the alt-text: "I can't remember where I heard this, but someone once said that defending a position by citing free speech is sort of the ultimate concession; you're saying that the most compelling thing you can say for your position is that it's not literally illegal to express."

I think the biggest change in that timeframe will be in whiter counties with the increase in prescription drug ODs. It would be interesting to see it broken down by drug type too.

Re:Why expat Americans are giving up their passports

This affects my girlfriend. She has a dual passport but only lived in the US to the age of six months. We are are British but live in Spain which already makes for complex tax arrangements, and this on top of things is just crazy. How the hell does the US think it has the right to tax people who haven't lived there for over 30 years?
