Yes, it is a thing in the US. People do it mostly to avoid filing taxes with the US when they don't plan on ever living here. It's rather expensive and time consuming. You have to pay a big fee ($2350 + any unpaid taxes) to do it and set up an appointment with the embassy/consulate.
Wow. And here I was thinking Elmer's glue was named after the Borden cartoon cow. It's nice knowing you can learn history like this from Lemmy comments.
Newer generations have decoders/encoders for more codecs. 8th gen Intel Core cpus have good HEVC support while you need the more recent gens for good AV1 support.
If it's legal money, then you aren't laundering it. Transferring money you've obtained legally is just transferring money. It's only money laundering by definition if the money was illegally gained.
They have a really small userbase, but it lines up well with the demographics here: Early adopter, tech enthusiasts with a distrust in Google and tired of how bad search is now.
Early adopters are generally very excited about whatever they've picked up. They feel the same way about a search engine the same way I feel about wearing only the same brand of black socks. Super excited to tell everyone about it whenever I get the chance because of how much it changed my life.
Every list I've seen is completely different, but none of them have Illinois in the top 10 worst. The most consistent result I saw was Rhode Island being one of the top 3.
The Tesla cruise control feature turns the 'auto' high beams on every time you activate it and the feature is really poorly implemented. The camera it uses to detect other cars will loses sight of you when you get close and it'll flip the highbeams on in your face.
It does have that feature, but it's worse than just leaving the high beams on. It uses the cameras to try to detect cars. It detects cars way later than my old Mazda used to and then right as the car gets close to passing you, the camera loses sight of it and flips the high beams back on. Looks like you are trying to intentionally blind people.
You don't need to take it anywhere. The car will download it using its own antenna and then prompt you to schedule the update the next time you get in the car.
You're missing their point. The west doesn't have as large of a black community as the rest of the country because of things like Oregon being founded by white supremacists with a no black people allowed rule. The south might be more racist, but it has a large black community because of slavery.
Usually the defense behind banks 'allowing' overdrafting is that surely you wouldn't want to miss paying a bill because your paycheck hasn't landed yet. So the argument here would probably be if you cap overdraft fees, then banks won't allow overdrafting anymore and then poor families will have their electricity shut off and get evicted.
You usually put a duvet cover on them, so the actual color of the blanket doesn't matter.
