@NickJ_UK @rcbregman If you look at the paper being cited, these are "income tax" rates; looks like they exclude social insurance, corporate taxes, and so on. This is figure 2 from the paper; figure 1 shows total effective tax rates (including VAT, etc), which are much higher than these numbers

More people should have read Eisenhower's farewell address. Not just the "military-industrial complex" part, but also the _other_ big problem he was concerned with, which got ignored (in both the facets he mentions!), with predictable consequences: archives.gov/milestone-docu…

@FedEx It would be nice if your automated system didn't just hang up on people, perhaps understood problems like "package delivered to wrong address" (not _shipped_ to wrong address, _delivered_), and actually connected someone with a representative when it claims it will.

@EmpowerToday E*Trade changed from 8 to 9 digit account numbers last week, but your system only allows 8-digit account numbers when trying to do roll-overs to E*Trade. Could you please get that updated?

@EmpowerToday @EmpowerToday It's been another several weeks, and tax filing deadlines are approaching rapidly. Not being able to import the relevant transactions into my bookkeeping system is going to be a problem for tax filing. When is this going to be fixed?

@EmpowerToday The "download transaction history" functionality seems to have disappeared from the "Transaction history" view. What happened to it?

@7homaslin Yes, clarifying that would be ideal. In general, actually writing down the rules as rules, not as an extended example, would be good. Thank you for the fun game!

@7homaslin why does the following sequence not work for hyperjumps.quantamagazine.org? 8, 1, 7, 4, 8, 9 8 - 1 = _7_ 81 - 7 = 7_4_ 7 * 4 = 2_8_ 817 - 48 = 76_9_ so I would have expected this to work.

@EmpowerToday Any update on this? It's been well over a month with this not working now.

Is the @YouTube "Time watched" functionality available on the website (when using a desktop browser), or just in the mobile apps?

@ericlaw @nytimes I appreciate the advice! That said, I know how to get these things fixed, or have the network to find out, as here. But not everyone is in my position....

Well, I was wondering how long it would take @nytimes to do something with #wordle. As of a few days ago, powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/ redirects me to this:

@WesGarland4 How does memccpy solve the fundamental problem of strncpy, which is that the destination can end up not null-terminated? And yes, I know getting strlcpy on Linux is a pain. The question is _why_ given the obvious safety benefits.
