Yep. Like the hysteria about China trolling through my (American citizen) data from my phone. CCP probably isn't going to extraordinarily rendition me, whatever horrible, unkind, true-or-untrue things I say about them. The US Government? Fuck no I don't want them going through my data, they've already proven they don't actually give a fuck about the piece of paper from which they derive power.
There’s a whole industry that basically exists to accept these terms from Federal and State government. They skim a few points, get screwed by the receivables for late payment, and accept whatever onerous terms that are imposed.
For example, a global company needs to report on how many Northern Irish employees are Catholic or Protestant to sell crap to New York City. Nobody wants to deal with crap like that, so the reseller sucks it up.
is wrong. TurboTax has a product they will sell you when you search for "turbotax free edition". They will allow you to fill it out for free. They will hold your hand (for free) while you do it. What they won't do is file the return you filled out, until you give them money. For that, you need to go find the actual free tax return (start at https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/) and do it all over again, if you fell for the ads TurboTax bought.
EDIT: The above is correct if you made over $72k in 2020. If you made under $72k but still have questions about your investment options and house sales, please don't give me financial advice.
Your source linked to a NYT story that says it was updated four days after original posting. As if they received new information and reported on it.
Your source also says "According to Capitol police, Sicknick later had a stroke. It is now being investigated whether he inhaled bear spray, and whether that may have contributed to his sudden death." Where are your source's sources? And does it matter if Sicknick died from being beaten to death or as a (possible) result of inhaling bear spray?
They're not weaponizing copyright, they're weaponizing Instagram's copyright-infringement-avoidance filter. HN really should look into their headline editing policy, because it really does change the context of the conversation in this instance.
The videos are still up on the person’s Instagram account, from which he sells anti-cop merchandise.
As far as I can tell, there hasn’t been a copyright removal. It appears the police were tired of being followed by this guy trying to provoke them to promote his Instagram and associated merch.
My comment didn't put culpability on anyone. The comment I was replying to wondered why those two categories were worse. I supposed there's a connection between the size of the vehicle and the visibility (being seen and not being able to see).
sparrish> I suppose smaller cars are harder to see at intersections (side-impact) and when in traffic, smaller cars can't see past the larger vehicles in front of them to see the traffic stopping so braking response is slower.
phjesusthatguy3> You appear to be blaming the person being run into, which is almost always wrong (at least in Michigan) ITYM people in larger cars can't see what's going on in front of them (side-impact) and when in traffic, larger vehicles can't stop in time.
To make it clear: I'm blaming the vehicle that runs into the other vehicle. You appear to be saying "if the vehicle that got run into was more visible, it wouldn't have gotten run into"
There's a few lifetimes worth of dashcam video on youtube that clearly show (metaphorically speaking, a lot of them are 480p after all) it's often not that simple.
Attributing fault for an accident. Plenty of cases where someone gets hit from behind because they pulled into traffic with too little room to spare or did something other traffic participants could not have reasonably forseen. Yeah there are plenty of people who text message their way into stopped traffic but there's enough edge cases that the generalization falls down.
Michigan State University just finally (last year, maybe the year before) killed my personal site I had set up when I was a student in 1994. It had one picture on it.
