The IRS open sourced much of its incredibly popular Direct File software as the future of the free tax filing program is at risk of being killed by Intuit’s lobbyists and Donald Trump’s megabill.
Meanwhile, several top developers who worked on the software have left the government and joined a project to explore the “future of tax filing” in the private sector

The family had stationary cameras on inside the home that captured what happened next, authorities said. “She got shot,” Ray reportedly told Raquedan- Retuta’s aunt, who promptly jumped off the bed and began screaming for help, slapping Ray on the back on her way out. Two others in the home called police, while Raquedan-Retuta’s aunt demanded to kn…
Ray simply responded, “nobody cares,” according to police. Deputies found a Glock 17 9mm semi-automatic pistol inside the bedroom, along with a spent cartridge. The gun had no magazine inside but was equipped with a tactical strobe light, authorities said.

There was another thing noteworthy about the pistol: It had been reported stolen in Decatur, Georgia, back in 2013. Somehow, the pistol made its way to the Bay Area, where a high schooler purchased it from someone who hasn't yet been publicl…

Hat jemand die neue Identitätsprüfung von Intrum beim SwissPass schon ausprobiert und die Datenschutz-Regeln angeschaut?
Wäre interessiert zu wissen, was Intrum mit den Ausweiskopien und Selfies machen darf, ob da z.B. eine "konzerninterne Weiterverwendung" enthalten ist...

Now we're planning to decorate our house for Christmas. The problem is the gerbils. We want to put antlers on them to make them look like little reindeer.
