It would appropriate to quote one old saying, possibly originated in armed forces of a certain country: "do not rush to execute an order, it will likely be canceled"

I've lived in a couple of countries where bribes are a way of life. I'm happy it's not the case in CA.

Still, does anyone here know of a country, where artificially limiting resources do not encourage to bribes? Better yet, if somebody names a country, where bureaucrats are by law forbidden to limit the resources artificially, I'll strongly consider immigrating.

Very interesting indeed: "In fact, more small-particle pollution comes from the action of car brakes and tyres than from the exhaust fumes of current internal-combustion engines – a testament to the effectiveness of catalytic converters and to modern fuel-injection systems."

TL;DR A dormant FB account gets highjacked, but the amateur thief forgets to change the email associated with the account. This allows the owner to deactivate the account.

I doubt the authors conclusion about russian troll though: a FB account highjacked by somebody using Cyrillic can be utilised for various purposes.

The linked Intel page is a mess.

It is titled "Linux* Processor Microcode Data File Version: 20180108 (Previously Released) Date: 1/8/2018"

Below, however, you can see highlighted "A newer version of this software is available. Click here to get the latest version of this software." This, though, points to an earlier ("Version: 20171117 (Latest) Date: 11/17/2017") version: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27337/Linux-Proces...

(one hour later) UPDATE: appears to be fixed. Well, not really, only if the link specifies the product, i.e. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27431/Linux-Proces...

I apologize for missing your question.

Well, first I used the new brackets to calculate the tax and found us slightly in the black. Then I dug out my last year tax return, added four numbers -- income tax, property tax, mortgage and donations -- subtracted proposed 24K standard deduction and applied our new bracket (35%) to the difference. Subtracted the first number. Felt robbed.

That said, I'm waiting for my CPA to get back to me with the projections for 2017 along with the tax reform impact estimate.
