Why was this recently uploaded to vermont.gov? Wouldn't it be Intuit's responsibility to inform its own users? Confused whether this is just precautionary and given out to governments each tax season, or if something has occurred.

Now that you've pointed out that this process exists, I'm super intrigued to hear the playlists of different stores and compare that with the brand image of said stores. Maybe if I like 'x' brand, I'll also enjoy th

Good question! Goodhart’s Law fits this quite well. :) From Wikipedia: “Goodhart's law is an adage named after economist Charles Goodhart, which has been phrased by Marilyn Strathern as "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases

This is true, but as you just said: it has to be a core job duty made clear before hiring. I highly doubt that Yelp would tell candidates "you cannot have a single day without checking your email." There may be some implicit &quot

Less than $15m could buy a 5 bedroom mansion of a single-family home in San Francisco, and in New York, a ridiculously stunning 5 bedroom apartment. Where did you get 1-2k sq/ft 2 bed 1 bath shithole from?

Agree with you here, but how does communism give meaning? For me, I've grown up in a capitalist society, with parents from a communist one. My sense of meaning in life comes from navigating through this environment (our laws, rules, so

Your comment made me check out DuckDuckGo for the first time in a long while. To support your point, there's also a huge difference in the auto-fill suggestions, and I'd guess DuckDuckGo is more accurate to what users actually sea

Interesting, and really disappointing— I loved Graeber's book, Debt: The First 5,000 Years. This makes me wonder if he also avoided criticism when writing it.

Fun (maybe not applicable) fact here, but there is a huge history of privatizing tax collection. In fact, we coincidentally have that to thank for the foundation of logic and memory! Pascal, as a teen, essentially invented the calculator (a

Poor people aren't able to move just to switch school districts for their child's benefit... Also, they had a nice single-family home with a yard in a suburban area.

Steve Jobs' family had a nice middle-class life, and his parents even moved so he'd be in a better school district iirc.
