Making a web browser that’s fully compatible with modern standards is not easy nor cheap (and worse it’s a moving target because the standards keep evolving). I’m rooting for these folks but eventually money will be an issue.

free filing would discriminate against the poor

As opposed to the current system where the richest among us can hire a whole team of accountants to find every deduction possible?

Doubt there is one. The hard truth is that most Americans’ taxes are pretty simple and straightforward. We can stop pretending that copying some boxes from a W2 and a 1099 is difficult.

I mean, personally I wish we’d stop pretending that the IRS isn’t already fully aware of what you owe and could just do the filling for you, like in other countries, but until Grover Norquist fucks off forever we’re stuck where we are.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange won the right to challenge a British court’s decision to extradite him to the U.S. to face espionage charges

Emphasis mine, since the headline is poorly worded. He didn’t win an appeal, the court agreed that he can appeal. He still could be shipped off to the US and then eventually <blacksite prison name not found>.

I’d say it’s fine to be an investment for individuals and families. You should be able to at least break even on something you owned for 3 decades that’s still in good shape.

But that’s all. No LLCs or S Corps or any of that shit. People should own homes!

Don’t you need specific CPUs for these AI features? If so, how is this going to work on the machines that don’t support it?

Do you recall any of the names? I’d love to read those papers and see how effective it was. Depending on the city and the route, people might have no choice but to go over a bridge like that regardless of traffic reports.

You know it’s serious when you’ve set up a whole new subdomain for this one big!

He’s commenting on bad reporting, and in particular a confusion that no one in this thread here seems to be making.

You got any kind of source on that extra 10k of unidentified bodies? That’s a big number to just throw around.

At the end of the day I don’t think this really changes the conversation substantially (if at all), but it’s always important to ensure the right facts are out there for discussion

“Also yes, it vibrates”

To be fair, the amount of things being held exclusive is really growing recently. I finally gave up on paying for TV to watch sports because every league wants to have their own subscribers and are blacking out more and more games. Can’t watch NBA games live on YouTubeTV, have to pay an extra $20 if I want to watch the local basketball and baseball teams through their own app.

I’m done trying. I’m just gonna pirate the streams or go watch at a bar.

Just to add to this; half of the global Jewish population lives in the US. We’re not all Israeli.
