Comment Re:Return to office (Score 1) 120

I worked for a company which outsourced a lot of work to an Indian company. Some of them were on our site (in a separate office, a couple of miles from where I was working then) and some more were in India. It worked by and large, and I only ever actually saw most of the "local" Indians two or three times over all the years I worked there.
As for people "working from home", that often meant they could not be reached at all, or the background noises made it clear they were walking the dog.

I guess I should clarify. In addition to "just the W2" there's also a monthly, quarterly, or yearly payroll tax report that goes to the IRS, along with a whopping large check for the withholding, as part of normal payroll processing. Different companies do different reporting standards, of course. But they're getting the data a lot more often than you think, just from the money paid in *during* the year, before the return is filed for.

Journal Journal: Anybody else using mailchimp?

14 years ago I picked mailchimp because it could read RSS feeds from my Knights of Columbus blog and send out daily digests.

We had a small form in an iframe allowing people to sign up to get the digests.

This year, something broke in the "detect a human" code for that small form, and I am getting hundreds of thousands of signups of the form "valid email address" "gibberish first name" "gibberish last name" and I can't figure out why.

There's roundabouts and there's Denham Roundabout (just west of London, on the M40).
Back when I lived in the area it was a perfectly normal roundabout with 5 roads leading off, two of which were slip roads to/from the M40 (it may have been the A40 then).
I was there again a few years later and each junction was a mini-roundabout and you could head clockwise on the outside or anti-clockwise on the inside, depending on whether the exit you wanted was closest going left or right. Google Maps satellite view says it's still like that now. Scary stuff for the uninitiated.
I believe there's another one like that around Swindon.
