I think the model should simply switch to household-based reporting only, regardless of status, especially if the joint set of taxpayers are claiming dependents. Each reporting adult filer in the household would link to a household TIN (lik

Are you being facetious? Otherwise I feel old. When I learned HTML4 forms and CGI, javascript was solely the domain of input validation if it was available. Okay I definitely feel old.

What was not obvious to me, and took a lot of higher math to get to, was that in the grouping of N=>I=>Q=>R=>C, at each stage you're pulling in a more complete mathematical representation (counting, rings, fields) until you

When I have seen this problem, it's because the sysadmins are instructed (or have learned via experience) not to explain their reasoning to developers or end-users. Because if they did, then it becomes a discussion or argument that bec

The issue is that this is only of concern to application developers who don't want to use old APIs. Systems owners, managers, and users won't care if it gets the job done predictably and cost-effectively. And if the vendor is will

This is the market abusing an assumption, that if you're paying a lab to perform a test, that the lab is providing the test or that some standard exists to compare against. But of course the lab will run whatever test you want, or they

Agreed. And while using the sequential shifter or paddles is engaging for performance driving or screwing around, I've also found that modern TCUs are scary efficient even in automatic mode, able to respond appropriately (fuel-saving i

I'd wager that the reason for the difference in taste is in the freshness. It is difficult to farm at scale and sell produce year round across a continent; time to consumption is a luxury beaten out of it at that scale and food often s

First of all, I disagree with your assessment of these cases, especially Clearplay in Huntsman. The reason why they were excluded was not because they were purchasing copies of DVDs 1:1, Clear View required this as well. The difference betw

The article mentions how the same account was used in 2014 to attack journalists outside the U.S. covering the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 shootdown over Ukraine. This lends credibility to the idea that it was Russian-sponsored actor(s) usi

Wow, I'm sad now that I never tried to get one for my N64. I would have had so much fun with a debug mode for the console; I didn't know it could do stuff like that before emulators. I think I would have been more into assembler-l

Even if you are friendly with the person giving the comment, it strikes me as a very self-centered thing to say. It translates into: "I don't like seeing your face unhappy." To which I (or anyone) might reply: "Well, I&#

This is a very weak analogy. What the NSA is doing right now, and what the FBI would like access to, is in no way similar to taking pictures of you on a busy street. What the NSA has is every intersection wired up with cameras, recording 24

Agreed. Hatchbacks (and wagons, although they are harder to make sporty/fun) give you cargo room rivaling smaller SUVs in a lighter platform. It's common for the back seats to fold flat which is helpful for odd-shaped or bulky ite

Ingress did this with so-called "Anomalies". I would expect Niantic to have a similar idea in mind for PoGo, but also think they've not fully figured out how they want the mechanics to play out long term, and that might need
