What is that "better" program? Probably the professional version of TaxAct. Hard to think that there is any software developer more into the details of the tax code than the ones that build the software that does 10s of millions of returns, namely TurboTax and TaxAct.

When the distant future is only next quarter, this kind of thing happens.

I don't think this is a business issue. This is really more about one especially self centered generation looking out for itself and controlling most of the funding mechanisms.

If it were a race or ethnicity or religion it would be an obvious example of favoritism.

But they're the baby boomers so they get a pass, mostly because the people in a position to call out such BS are themselves baby boomers.

To their credit, they at least attempted to make it clear that the powers granted to the government so Constituted would be enumerated and, hence, tightly limited, so that any fuck-ups in their designs would have limited effects on the States. Such modesty did not last beyond the 1860s.

"Watch this space for updates."

If only there were places on the web one could go to watch live streaming coverage of event such as this, or liveblogs. Or a service where small messages containing updates could be broadcast to other users, searchable by special keywords called "hashtags"....

It was not intended that the President lead government. It was intended that the President, like the military, be under civilian rule.

And, yes, I know this original intent of the Constitution has been violated by virtually every President.

Most importantly, no one is even close to solving no limit -- where you are allowed to vary your bet size. That changes everything.

To the average joe poker player, I'd say what's most important here is that the perfect solution is only for a two player game.

Things become much more complicated when players>2.

That is a lie. Why would you pick classes that wouldn't transfer?

When I taught at Tri-County Tech, nearly all of my student's credits would transfer to real schools. Our classes were stupid easy and you got credit for some very hard college classes. It was a great scam for the students.

The real scam is that all this free and easy money doesn't go to education. It goes to educators -- educators all too willing to just take all that extra money to provide classes that are "stupid easy".

The students are just mules that move the money from tax payers to professional educators.

Thanks for that reference - it might come in useful. I had no idea anyone was still making systems in the classic the "sewing machine" form!

Given fast turn around reusability with rocket engine restart capabilities claimed by SpaceX the numbers work out for high end passenger fares if you go to a lower suborbital velocity and then bleed off energy while stretching distance by passively skipping off the atmosphere. By "passive" I mean no scramjet (or other propulsive kick). If you really need distance use rocket engine restart and carry extra propellant.

He forgot to mention, probably out of modesty, that the transistor, integrated circuit and the Internet were all invented in Bhrat Gaarjya as well.

If all these immigrants are so beneficial to me, I want a citizen's dividend to prove it and I do _not_ want my citizenship's equity diluted by making "voting share holders" out of these immigrants.

Oh, you can't provide that for me?

Take your immigration propaganda and shove it.

Free markets have utterly failed when it comes to infrastructure. Why should we trust it with something as important as communications?

"Utterly failed"? Stop exaggerating.

The right answer (whatever it might be) begins by being honest.

. . . as long as they don't have to worry that it's their children who will be denied opportunities by being locked into a boutique language that gives them poorer access to employment, education, and even entertainment.

When people ignorantly repeat a lie, it doesn't cease being a lie; it merely absolves the repeaters of being liars.

I think it's a little too early to completely rule out a connection.

The greatest variation in solar output over the course of a cycle is in the blue to ultraviolet part of the spectrum and that happens to correspond to frequencies of light that are the most penetrating to sea water.

It's possible then that the extra energy during previous vigorous sunspot cycles accumulates in the ocean over the course of many cycles and is slowly released later.

A weak cycle now might at the moment be partially masked by the release of decades of accumulated energy.
