I emailed them about this and they said they would consider removing it. But need more people to complain. If you are a paying subscriber please let them know! There is power in your voice.

I just installed tiktok for the first time on my Android device and it asked for no permissions and even let me use it without creating an account. How is it getting photos and videos on my device?

If you mean the existing H-1B lottery, see sibling comment linking the Forbes article which says "However, attorneys say attempting to reorder the H-1B lottery from highest to lowest salary by regulation, as the administration has discussed, would be unlikely to survive a legal challenge."

Agree with the article but, to me, demonstrates the reason why governments and regulators (and taxation authorities) make a difference here. E.g. if fossil fuels get a 200% tax then maybe nuclear/fusion (fission now) becomes more viable.

Have to concede that wind and solar seem pretty good now, if combined with good grid-wide battery technology.

NHTSA should change the name of the term. With more and more vehicles supporting over-the-air updates, using a word like "recall" which implies you have to drive your car to a garage and have them fix it in person is just confusing.

I actually find the opposite - when I am out at a movie there seems to always be someone rustling chocolate or whispering loudly to their neighbour, or someone has brought overly boisterous children, who normally don't really want to be there, to the screening.

At home, I can dim the lights and really get into a movie without any distractions.

I lived and worked in the UK for decades and never did my own tax return. When I moved to the US, the UK taxman spotted this, calculated that I had overpaid my taxes for that year and sent me a refund automatically.

I guess the reason why it's not done this way in the US is a combination of the general mistrust of government, and the lobbying from companies like Intuit to keep the tax system as complex as it is now.
