They would go in the sections for 401ks and IRAs just like they do on the paper forms. The online form will have the same way to enter the additional deductions.

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually.

Mixing and matching abstract measurements doesn't work when comparing two things.

snooggums , 3 days ago

I can't tell if this is serious since most homes don't need heated every day...

snooggums , 3 days ago

Depends on location and personal preferences. Most of the US, which the article appears to be usung for home heating numbers, only needs to heat homes for a few months during the year. Sure, New York and Denver might be over half the year but Florida and southern California don't need much heating at all.

Why have an average for something that is seasonal?

They really need to admit “okay, so that was a dumb idea, and ultimately not related to archiving the Internet anyway. We’re not going to do that again.”

It literally archives internet pages and files. What do you think the internet archive does if it doesn't do that?

How a non-profit site that is constantly maintained and requires cited sources was vilified for being able to be defaced for 5 minu-

Oh wait, that was probably an astroturfing campaing by for profit companies.

If they can put up a disclaimer on misinformation, they could just not return the misinformation.

So with reddit we had several pieces of information that went along with every post.

User, community along with up, and downvotes would inform the majority of users as to whether an average post was actually information or trash. It wasn't perfect, because early posts always got more votes and jokes in serious topics got upvotes, bit the majority of the examples of bad posts like glue on food came from joke subs. If they can't even filter results by joke sub, there is no way they will successfully handle saecasm.

Only basing results on actual professionals won't address the sarcasm filtering issue for general topics. It would be a great idea for a serious model that is intended to only return results for a specific set of topics.

Also once you start to get AI that reflects on its own information for truthfulness, where does that lead?

Yes, that would be the better solution. Maybe the humans could write down their knowledge and put it into some kind of journal or something!

Looks like companies are shifting to charging users whose data they are stealing.

The saying 'if you aren't the customer, you are the product' is outdated. Now you are the customer and the product!

All of the major broadcast networks have always canceled stuff as fast as Netflix, maybe faster since they sometimes cancel shows before the first season has completed airing.

This isn't inherently bad.

Some web pages are extraneous, fedundant, or only relevant for a limited period of time. A sign up page for a concert doesn't need to exist permanently. Consolidating a large website down to fewer pages that are accessible for everyone is a good thing.

Archiving services that retain web pages that deserve saving are how we should retain that history of the web, but the actual creators don't necessarily need to indefinitely maintain a web page that becomes obsolete.

Yes, a lot is lost that could have just continued to exist and archiving is good, but getting rid of clutter is not a bad thing.

snooggums , 15 days ago

For sure, things that were not intended to be temporary or were replaced with a better version are sad to lose.

Ah yes, run the battery down while charging.

Yes, I know the scale is vastly different between driving charge and game lmaying charge, but it still sounds like revving your engine wile filling with gas.

My first thought was that surely nobody could misunderstand such obvious satire, but then I remembered that I have met people.

snooggums , 16 days ago

Yeah, I took southern chiv as a reference to a KKK member since they referred to themselves as knights. Or at least something along those lines.

snooggums , 16 days ago

Sounds like the "knights of the KKK" might have come from the southern chivalry thing.

They used to follow regulations, or at least pretended to.

Now they all sue because they know they have a decent chance of having regulations overthrown by a court system stacked with pro-corporate justices that have zero respect for precedent or the general piblic.

Bing Chat Assistant is better than Google, Bing search, or DDG today. If I search for “how do I do X in software Y” on a normal search, I get zillions of dead-link-filled MS pages, some interesting tangentially-related stackoverflow posts, and a bunch of old blogspam.

Oh, so you are saying that AI works around SEO and filters out the crap that google and other web searches used to filter out. Basically the sales for AI searches is that it is almost as good as web searches used to be.

Awesome, it is a mediocre and overly energy wasting approach to getting back to about 15 years ago which will be undone as soon as the websites abusing SEO also leverage AI to counteract the AI search and all that crap will be right back in the results again within a few years.

It can be either. My state job had a RTO period where a bunch of people quit so they umplemented it again. RTO wasn't intended to reduce senior positions because seniority isn't a significant cost. Top leadership just didn't believe people cab work remotely and was worried about the impression that it would give if people in the agency worked from home.

All of the other state agencies have permanently embraced remote work. Our RTO was absolutely about control and forcing people to be in the office so top leadership could see them instead of empty cubes.

Senior talent also tends to save the company money by avoiding the mistakes of less experienced people, but C level positions don't tend to recognize that because they don't see problems that were avoided or mitigated.

Their stocks go up in the short term and they have golden parachutes so they have learned that running companies into the ground benefits them.

They do learn, just the wrong lessons.

snooggums , 19 days ago

Yes, that is what I am saying. It is also rewarding the part of their job that is less important than avoiding the need to fix shit.

This is a very misleading headline.

If the 35,000 reported dead, the number of confirmed deaths where they know exactly who died is about half of the total estimated dead. So they went from about the same percentage of total dead to roughly the same percentage of identified dead and that is being spun as 'number cut in half'.

In reality it supports the overall percentages. It isn't like the total dead was halved because they haven't identified half the bodies.

"According to the Ministry, the fatalities for whom full details have been documented include 7,797 children, 4,959 women, 1,924 elderly, and 10,006 men," Kaneko said. "The Ministry of Health notes that the documentation process of casualties’ full identification details is ongoing"

The headline makes it sound like every single one of the 11,000+ unidentified people were adult males.

Also by doing and end run around regulations by pretending to be people just renting their house when they are away or giving rides to people going in the same directions. That is why they have names like 'ride share' instead of 'contracted cabbies who drive their own cars'.

They also have far better scaling on sales than they did in 2006, with tons of storefronts and easy access for anyone to download and play a game without needing to go to a physical store.

People like to complain about steam taking 30% of a sale, but it isn't like game companies were getting 70% of a boxed game on a shelf. They had manufacturing, shipping, and a ton of other costs for physical media that they don't spend on digital sales that can scale infinitely in an extremely short period of time because it can't sell out locally.

If they are spending too much for their return, then they need to scale back their spending.

Nearly half of the campus protests that Acled categorized as violent involved protesters fighting with law enforcement during police interventions, according to the group’s data.

So 98.5% were peaceful, although some protesters had to defend themselves against police aggression.
