It's even worse on mobile. For some searches the first real, normal, webpage link can be two or three full page scrolls down from the top.

I think treating the government as a singular entity pushing a narrative is missing a bit. There is no singular government moving in lock-step, I think we've seen a lot of those seams showing recently. There are factions, supported by

Some might be using faked documents to get a 'legit' job, in which case the job will withhold and pay taxes like any other legal employee. That's what the report I linked to is showing.

You can get a tax identification number without an SSN. An illegal / undocumented worker working a standard W-2 paycheck job is going to have taxes withheld and sent in by the employer, even if they never file their own tax return.

Yes, but depending on the code you’re working on that may be the case anyway even with a monorepo. For example a web api that talks to a database but is deployed with more than one instance that will get rolling updates to the new version t

Perhaps it's the idea that we all must work full time with 10 days of annual leave until we reach the point of needing pills and medical assistance to live comfortably that is the issue.

The Verge's video on these was mostly footage that looked like the person was staring down at the tip of their nose. It definitely didn't feel natural or like the person was looking through the glasses at the world around them.

Ad blockers and Premium don’t block embedded sponsorships in the videos themselves, which are a common way for creators to monetize their videos.

Videos are often monetized via sponsor placements in the videos themselves. The creator of the video would like an accurate view count to report to their sponsors. This is completely separate from the YouTube platform ads and monetization w

I've had a Tesla for several years and am generally pretty happy with it. I don't think the fancy electronic door handles are an improvement, and am unhappy to see that other brands are following suit. If there are electronic proc

Perhaps, but a lot of the recent immigration enforcement pushes haven't been about fully undocumented immigrants.

It's rare, but scary, and humans are often bad at judging things that are rare but scary. I'm not saying it's a good net reason to let kids keep their phones, it's just founded in some real things that have happened in t

And the cost to buy into these developments where they do exist suggests a supply and demand imbalance. Near me a new-ish 'town center' development with a mix of apartments, shops, restaurants, grocery store, townhouses, and singl

This was the case in schools 15+ years ago, but recently a lot have had more problems with parents complaining about teachers taking away their child's phone. Part of it is that phones are more expensive, a $900 iPhone vs a $100 Nokia.

I do have such a social life with real friends in the real world. Cutting out Meta products would reduce how often I see those friends because I would be missing out on communication and planning for those groups. Ideally they could all swi

There is also a gradient of density and walk/bike-ability between NYC, one of the densest cities in the country, and super spread-out car-dependent cul-de-sac suburbs, but the US often skips those middle steps. Small towns where your k

I doubt Apple would add drop-friendly materials in such an expansion of the phone so most people would be putting a case on top of the iPhone Brick, making it even thicker and heavier.

That would come close to doubling the thickness and weight of the phone. I’m sure some people would buy a 16mm thick, 400g phone but I doubt it’s the majority.
