After the standard deduction, that’d still put them in the 12% bracket, even if they’re single. And that 12% is just the marginal rate, not the overall rate.

If single person made $60k in 2025, and only got the standard personal deduction ($15,750), that deduction drops their taxable income to $44,250. Of that:
The first $11,925 is taxed at 10%, so $1,192.
The rest ($32,325 = $44,250-$11,925) is taxed at 12%, so $3,879.
Their total income tax is thus $5,071 (=$1,192+$3,879).
$5,071 / $60,000 = 0.08452, meaning they’d pay an effective tax rate of 8.452%.

I see some others in the iOS app store that claim to detect nearby “smart” glasses via BLE. I have not tested any of them, so I have no opinion on their usefulness, reliability, privacy, etc:

That’s true of pretty much everything. As John Von Neumann put it, “Truth is much too complicated to allow anything but approximations.”

It’s an old IBM “Bus and Tag” peripheral interface cable. Before my time – I’ve seen 'em, but only in parts bins, not in actual use.

I’d be tempted to modify my user environment as much as possible, so the ways I use it wouldn’t be transferrable to anyone else’s environment. I’ve already done this to some extent, with e.g. nonstandard command line aliases and highly-customized wrapper scripts around the tools I use a lot.

Reminds me of this:

So according to that, the company’s address (both physical and mailing) is 3739 E Sandstone Way, Washington, UT, 84780-1952.

…yeah, honestly that’s about what I expected.

I’ve actually been really impressed by some of their recent videos. I especially liked the one on jet turbine blades (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtxVdC7pBQM), and their explanation of how displacements propagate through crystals, and how the blades are made with variations in crystal structure that limit that propagation. Yeah, they’re using clickbaity titles on it, but the content’s solid.

Looks like it happened in Chicago, last october. From what I can find, they dragged her off, shuffled her around for a few hours, then released her without charges. In December, she was one of the people that testified before congress about ICE’s abuses.

Leading to my favorite conspiracy theory, that his shirt choice is really a subtle viral marketing campaign. I call this theory “Tom Scott is in the pocket of Big Red Shirt”.
