Instagram wouldn't let me make an account. Even if I could make one, I'd have to think about what it means to link someone directly into Facebook's data collecting juggernaut by sharing a photo since the only way to view them

They've been at it for decades, so it's probably going to be hard to figure out how much they're responsible for. We've got a Tax Code of Theseus paradox. How much do they have to change it before they're responsibl

The fear people have about going to jail over taxes is not really supported by the statistics. It turns out people who work for the IRS aren't stupid and recognize it's hard to pay taxes from jail. Most people who get nailed that

People often confuse the long history of low-quality imports from China for some essential quality of China. They don't realize or ignore that the quality was determined by what the people who commissioned the products or built the f

A lot of that old-fashioned writing is so long because of the per-word rates they got paid to write it and the patience of readers who didn't have much else to do with their time and money. Don't mistake consequences of circumstan
