Sure, but you must have previously remitted >= $600 to the US government (e.g. automatically as part of pay withholding).

Surely it was only a non-refundable credit. The US government is not going to give you back more than you paid them in the first place when recognizing foreign tax?

I don't think it's failed. It's true that it has been far more successful as a general purpose web backend language, but you still have most of the container ecosystem (Docker, containerd, runc, kubernetes) written in Go. Eit

Why is that worth noting, and not the fact that the network stack is still Go-based? (So to say it’s discarded is inaccurate.)

Excepts bits are fungible, and the NFT bits on the blockchain aren’t even the “original bits”. An original painting isn’t fungible, and was actually painted by the artist. Only the pure speculation angle make sense. NFTs are the best exampl

I assume that they are implying the equivalent of an automatic transfer switch. It's not like Ford just invented the concept of a backup generator. Automated backup generators have existed for a long, long time. There are modifications

FWIW, the FT article appears to be calling out the difference in peak rates “for the same dates”, not for the full year. While the excess deaths are awful, it’s also important to keep the number in context. The death rate has been decreas

The sneaky part of this question is that it gives information about the outcome and then asks you again about the probability. Forget the extra balls, and just drive the point home directly: suppose I pick a ball at random, and show it to y

I’m aware that it’s complicated. I intentionally phrased it in a way that makes it clear that the family moving in is not somehow selected from the set of families with at least one boy, but rather the observation is unrelated. This is the

Love it. The answer is 1/2. The first event occurs with a population of 2,2 and the second event has no causal effect. The trap is that the observation doesn’t change the sample population of the first event, exactly like the Monty Hal

Thanks for this. I haven’t actually drawn a line between this kind of semi-forced physical affection and the blurring of consent as an adult, but it makes perfect sense. We even encourage/force kids to reciprocate gifts with physical a

It’s your saying, but it doesn’t read that way to me. It’s not your fault but it’s a consequence. Just like with a campfire, perhaps this gives people an ounce of solace with unwanted attention, i.e. you’re dealing with this because you’r

Interesting. I work at Google and never saw such an expectation (though it’s just my experience). I suspect most travel at large companies is dominated by individuals making decisions about what allows them to be most effective in accomplis

What does “essential” mean? I don’t think anyone viewed travel as essential — they just viewed it as “worth it” to facilitate collaboration/communication, build relationships, etc. This is still easier in person.

I’ve had a similar scam explained to me by someone who said they do it for their own tax obligations (on a much smaller scale). I have no clue why non-liquid donations are allowed. Stock with a clear market value (publicly traded) seems fin

On what basis would you sue someone for software crashing when you plug in their device?

Ultimately you’re expressing an anti-simplicity sentiment, which is well aligned with the parent post. Clever abstractions may appear to reduce the “burden”, but they are often fashionable and add cognitive overhead. Go does indeed often fo

Huh? Don't you trust the Signal devs to not destroy all Signal data every day? You're trusting the Signal devs to your keep messages safe and secure. I don't know if that means wiping all messages when accessed via Cellebrite

The post seems to provide a straight-forward map to at least one vulnerability. If they have FFMPEG DDLs that have not been updated since 2012 and they are used on files found on the file system, you just need to find a relevant vulnerabili

My reading is that the owner of any device the provider previously plugged in to could exfiltrate your mother's data by installing a persistent backdoor. Since this is a phone, I assume this includes email, passwords, etc. and they cou

The base would consume “up to once”. You will only load pages touched, and they are all reclaimable under memory pressure. Memory used by UPX for decompression is guaranteed to be used, and is not reclaimable! So in fact, it’s not might u

Are you saying that an Wuhan-style lockdown would have been a better or even feasible approach? I don't think humans anywhere are able to "pull in the same direction" to the extent that such a lockdown is possible without an

The suspect was, at no point during the time period relevant to complaint, under the physical control of the police. That's the point. You can say that you were "seized" if the physical control lasted 10 seconds or 10 years,

I think there's a lot of variation depending on the culture and context (i.e. this is a single impersonal transaction with an almost zero chance of repeat business, and probably attracts a lot of sketchy people to begin with). Many pla

These numbers are always made up. Sometimes you'll even see claims that people work more than ~170 hours a week (there aren't that many hours in a week). Dissecting the claims can make for a fun thought experiment, e.g. in this ca

I’m not sure what distinction you’re making here, as most western jurisdictions have an ultimate goal of zero cases and applied the same lockdown policies to a first order approximation (with some succeeding, most needing to relax restricti
