There is https://www.freefilefillableforms.com/ which supports most of the IRS forms as far as I know. I live outside the US and have freelance income and haven't run into a situation I couldn't use there yet.

There is no code to crack. Just build more housing and it will become affordable. If it’s not affordable, you haven’t built enough yet. It’s crazy how these cities will try literally anything except building more housing.

It’s such brazen click grubbing, though. They’ll show most of the post except for the last few words, so you click through to see what it says. I guess it helps some PM at Meta meet their KPIs, but those clicks are not real threads users. T

The liability for making a simple honest mistake is greatly overstated. In most cases the IRS sends you a letter explaining the mistake and asks you to send the additional payment (or sends you the additional refund) and if you address it i

As I understand it, the CIA operates on foreign threats. The FBI would be responsible for US citizens suspected of espionage. They do need a warrant, but they're part of the Justice department, not defense.

The Pentagon doesn’t arrest people. Does wired understand this? Espionage is unrelated to law enforcement. Spies don’t need a warrant. They’re not trying to put people in jail.

Taken more seriously about what? If it were a question about management, I'd probably take the CEO more seriously. Law, the lawyer. Medicine, the doctor. And plumbing (or probably any construction related question), the plumber.

I think we're talking past each other. I took "expected" to mean "expected by society in general". Teenagers are generally expected to get regular driver's licenses and learn how to drive a car (although many o

I'm glad it works for you. One thing I've learned from bitter experience is "don't swim upstream". Meaning, you're likely to have problems when you're using tech outside the way it was intended. Apple inte

If you want to submit it to the app store you'll need to install XCode anyway to build it and submit it. Might as well just start there and have it configured right from the beginning.

And yet you can’t articulate a single logical reason why reducing Exxon’s oil production will reduce demand for oil. Not even a hypothetical scenario of how it might work. Interesting.

Let’s pretend you have a job. You drive 20 miles each way to go to work. When you need gas, you buy it at the Exxon station every 3 or 4 days. Suppose the Exxon station closes. What are you going to do? Quit your job, default on your mortga

> the intent of the shareholder bloc supporting it is to reduce global carbon emissions from fossil fuel companies. But that's why it makes no sense. The emissions caused by the customers are not emissions "from" fossil fu

What powers do you think they do or should have over how customers use their product? If Exxon is asked to immediately reduce your personal carbon emissions by say, 30%, what control do you think Exxon should have over your personal fossil

Good luck getting a vote at Aramco or PDVSA or anything in Russia. They'll be laughed out of the room if they're lucky and probably murdered if they get too annoying.

The first two are not what the resolution is asking for, which is to reduce emissions from customers using their product. For the final one, why would you ask Exxon, a company that has 0 expertise in building public transportation systems,

by imgabe 3y ago
None of those except maybe indirectly the lobbying meet what the resolution is asking for, which is that Exxon control how customers use their products.

Then someone else produces and sells it. Exxon doesn’t control market demand. If companies could control demand for their products then they would make infinite money by just controlling the demand to be as high as possible.
