Gmail would like a word

Gets rid of the expensive employees who won't follow the rules and leaves openings for fresh graduates and employees who need the job. It's a win-win for these businesses!

Meanwhile the remote work opportunities are becoming more and more competitive as RTO reduces the pool of available remote jobs. It's hard enough to compete against 300 people applying in the first day (literally in some cases, it's insane!), this only makes it worse.

The total number is even in the first paragraph. Not the best summary I’ve ever seen.

As long as there are people for whom streaming compression isn't acceptable, there'll be a market for Bluray movies/TV shows.

Making a web browser that’s fully compatible with modern standards is not easy nor cheap (and worse it’s a moving target because the standards keep evolving). I’m rooting for these folks but eventually money will be an issue.

free filing would discriminate against the poor

As opposed to the current system where the richest among us can hire a whole team of accountants to find every deduction possible?

You're acting like the filing that would come from the government would be the final record and you wouldn't be allowed to correct it, which is not at all what people are suggesting.

Plus, audits will still be a thing.

Doubt there is one. The hard truth is that most Americans' taxes are pretty simple and straightforward. We can stop pretending that copying some boxes from a W2 and a 1099 is difficult.

I mean, personally I wish we'd stop pretending that the IRS isn't already fully aware of what you owe and could just do the filling for you, like in other countries, but until Grover Norquist fucks off forever we're stuck where we are.

I’d say it’s fine to be an investment for individuals and families. You should be able to at least break even on something you owned for 3 decades that’s still in good shape.

But that’s all. No LLCs or S Corps or any of that shit. People should own homes!

Um.... then what is it intended for? ATMs and POS terminals don't really strike me as IoT devices.

Despite concerns about accuracy and potential misuse, facial recognition technology seems poised for a surge in popularity. California-based restaurant CaliExpress by Flippy now allows customers to pay for their meals with a simple scan of their face, showcasing the potential of facial payment technology.

Oh boy, I can’t wait to be charged for someone else’s meal because they look just enough like me to trigger a payment.

Here you have no recourse options

I can't speak for every University, but some have a way for you to appeal issues like this to the Dean.
