>"artificial thought"

How about Artificial Intelligence?


"intelligence" encompassing "thinking" then becomes the hangup.

I still say it needs a new name. If we want to be generous, we could state "the limit as time approaches infinity of thunking, is thinking." (I don't believe we will ever achieve astronomically-superior AGI, and certainly don't believe it will ever have a will of its own that someone else didn't give it- which just makes it a tool.)


You haven't realized that they have been taking their payment from your refund all these years? They are a business not a charity.


They truly do simple 1040s for free, even though they are indeed not a charity.


I mean I've paid like $18 to efile my state taxes but they haven't taken any of my refund and I get it direct deposited from the IRS.

What tax complexities exist for low income people that would cause $200 fees?


Sell some stuff on Etsy and get payouts on social media. As soon as you start adding in business expenses, it inflates pretty quickly.

I've often taken on a side project or two a year for software dev/consulting and it usually winds up being $200-350 to have my taxes done. If I only have W2 income, I'll do the electronic version of TurboTax though. I also do 0 deductions and have extra out of each check taken out just in case, I don't set aside or do quarterly payments and usually get a decent return back.


Ghost or Wordpress as your CMS and a Photography focused "theme".


Appetitus Cannabinicus.


It sounds like she has been claiming that the recipe that is literally printed on the side of the box has actually been "her" recipe for all these years.


>That's a pretty high bar

Really? That reads as the lowest possible bar. The legislature just needs to pass a law that allows for the snooping and it is then in 100% compliance with that section. Not even to mention "necessary in a democratic society", I can't imagine wording more broad than that.


Coming from an American perspective, this is quite shocking and indistinguishable from parody.

"Everyone has a right to privacy expect for all cases where government decides for any reason for any that it should not apply."


Good to know that search warrants aren't a thing in the United States and anyone within 100 miles of a port can't be arbitrarily searched either.


Odd to use per capita here, to make a useful comparison it should be per mile driven.



Alternative 1915 headline: "The motorcar is not replacing jobs or hurting wages in horse and carriage industry, say economists".
