Related in that they serve similar functions, perhaps. However, while Latin is an Indo-European language, Hungarian and Finnish are Uralic languages. The difference is notable in the number of cases; Latin has six, while Hungarian has 17.

What is "a local box"? It sounds like GP was performing a regular web search. Surely you don't mean you ignore quotes just because I put the name of a city as a search term.

It is funny for me to see this now. I hadn't thought about how much I agree with the author, and here I am days away from starting a new position on this very space at my current company.

As I understand it, the GDPR did not make web browsing a worse experience. Rather, folks tasked with compliance at a few companies came up with a horrible solution that probably doesn't actually comply, and everyone started copying it.

You are correct, but I think that misses the point: Neither you nor I should be forced to buy only devices that run specified software as determined by a third-party. You are making this out to be a choice, that if it's available and y

I would still have some of those costs. My point, however, is that the company does not pay any more for them because I work from home.

I'm not a fan of these new markets. We got by just fine with simple, static ads that weren't spying on everyone. It gave rise to local, niche publications that were a heck of a lot more interesting than today's one-size-fits-

How does this work, given there is no sale? Sales tax applies to the sale price paid, but there is no payment. I think the same is true for use tax, too.

> I don't think it's a gift tax, but ordinary income tax. Correct. Prize winnings are taxed at your ordinary income tax rate. The gift tax applies to gifts, not prize winnings, and even then, the giver pays it, if applicable.

I find checkout has gotten slow because a lack of staff. It never fails that there are lines out into the shopping aisles because a store can't staff more than two or three cashiers, even at their busiest times.

In the U.S., yes. If they don't have enough staff on hand to specifically bag, then the cashier will bag it. Some places (Meijer, for example) will have a carousel of bags, and the cashier bags things as they are scanned. When one bag
