Doing the next step of the root cause analysis leads to "Intuit lobbied Congress and the IRS hard enough that they passed a law, and the IRS conspired to change their procedures".

Your situation sounds like one that a CPA would be perfect for - especially with business taxes involved. Our household has just the basic salaries / expenses / 401k / IRAs. THe year I received some temporary additional bene

Let's end the debate, assuage the farmers who opposed time changes from the beginning, and honor every other timekeeping system in our earlier history: From now on, sunrise is 0700. The clock runs from 0700 sunrise to whatever time nec

Until some overly agressive anti-cheat that has kernel level access, decides to blacklist your machine, and because of whatever black boxed bugs, blocks your machine's Ethernet connections, all of them, and now you're stuck until

Well, if they're not going to use them to find and shut down the NK hackers, then they should step aside for those who will. (Of course, there could be deeper ops from the CISA side, but if their only cost is having to lose older vulns

I'm in the US, so see this from a bit more abstract point of view, but I understand the insanity of being just over a border and not being able to watch/listen to media in the same language. This is an awesome idea, I just wish I

It sounds like you're happy to hand control of your browser away for free. I've been writing code for a few decades, I don't know everything but I don't need someone to decide for me what's too dangerous for me to

A lot of places would see someone not following development guidelines, doing something unsanctioned, or otherwise not fitting in to the expected culture. That can be far more toxic pushback to any attempted improvement.

Twenty years ago, when VMS just got introduced, it behaved like this... I can't believe that after all this time, it's still completely borked, in all the same ways. Somebody at NAVSEA needs to be dragged by their nostrils out on

No one. Every name I can think of has had some great ideas, and some truly cockeyed are-you-kidding-me-seriously" moments. Even legendary names are just humans. TBL and his support for DRM. LT's notorious personality. Page &

The point is that there's no keys involved, nothing in your private office. No rummaging either. Publishing to a public web server is analogous to that little free library, out in the yard. No keys, anyone can look in it at any time.

Which works great when there's some kind of access restriction in place. If you wind up putting your tax returns in the 'little free library' you set up on your front yard, you can't blame others for reading them, then h

I've had my eyes open for anything that does real dynamic rescheduling, sadly, no one has rediscovered this. See www.1soft.com, Above & Beyond does this rescheduling the real way, but it's only on Windows.

The (from my point of view) canonical application like this is www.1soft.com's Above & Beyond. Sorted's hyperscheduling is a pale shadow of the fully implemented "Dynamic Scheduling" that A&B does. I've bee

Hit the nail on the head: "if it can be implemented...?" We're talking 50 individual state governments here. We all know that federal, state, and local govt IT practices are basically troubled at best, disastrously shoddy at

E.g. - Do you feel like the existence of ESPN forces a bigger divide between people who like sports and those who don't? If not, what's the difference? Each is a cultural group - one just has a history of being violently attacked
