Because they apparently require foreign banks to report it. Now, how do they actually enforce that supposed "obligation"? I do not know. But it doesn’t surprise me. The US has already enforced it’s laws on foreign companies&#x27

And I would argue that it’s like comparing professional Formula 1 drivers’ performance to that of professional kart racers. Or a five stars hotel to a motel by the highway. But I see your point, and we’ll probably have to settle on agreeing

Well, I am glad to stand corrected. Most of my knowledge of it comes from all the threads about Intuit's and H&R Block's lobbying regarding what IRS could and could not do to simplify tax filling. If you don’t me asking. If it

Mostly because the gap in international political reach and leverage, respective economic situations and means are too huge for there to be a point. Also because I suspect the population here to likely be mostly from Western countries. Cf d

From what I’ve read, the US is possibly one of the worst countries to have to file taxes with, paperwork-wise. And that’s for the simple scenario of someone actually living in the US. But is also is another issue altogether. How US citizens

From what I’ve read, the highest commercially available satellite imagery is ~0.3m Which would make one’s head take up a whole pixel. Now, I don’t know what the best military satellites are capable of, but I’d wager there’s a reason many co

Oh, I totally and wholeheartedly agree. But once we’ve said that, and agreed on it, what do you suggest we do? In the meantime, I’m glad to have found a working, although imperfect & cumbersome, solution.

Probably. And reframing it that way would make sense, for some people. But it’s not what I was interested in when looking into it. My question was "Could this lead to some improvements on the best experience I’ve had so far in VR?&quot

Absolutely! It’s the same in France. Either you get a random seat, perhaps apart from your party, perhaps miss a bit of the movie (although unlikely), and get not to watch ads. Or you arrive on time, perhaps slightly early, get to pick wher
