You can't be serious? People are different. Dear God, to say that lead to the Holocaust is just absolute insanity. There are so many more things that lead to the Holocaust than just "people are different".

What's puzzling is that the IRS seems to calculate your taxes anyway; if there's a disparity, then they send you a correction a few weeks later.
Why can't they do this beforehand so you have the option of just clicking "OK" and being done with it?
For almost 70% of US taxpayers this is the case. Free of charge tax payment. You literally type in your address and other info along with your w2(these days many w2s have codes where you only have to type in a number and it fills the whole thing in).

Otherwise we're just talking about state taxes which the federal government has no control over.
I expect to see this on some Facebook/reddit post, but on HN it is depressing to see how many people don't realize that what this comment describes has existed for decades.

Is there any evidence that glassdoor lets employers do this? I think glassdoor actually specifically says that they won't, unless it violates a law somehow. They even specifically state that they "don’t take sides in factual or contractual disputes between employers and reviewers."

Generally employers figure out who left the bad review and threaten legal action to the person who made the review. It isn't Glassdoor that removes the review but the person who wrote it.

Facebook is big tobacco. Intelligent people generating profits that knowingly harms society (even if you do get some joy from a cigarette, that doesn't justify working for a tobacco company).
I really hope the smart people at Facebook see the obvious parallel, and choose another career.
History will judge you.
If anything your comment speaks to the weird paradox of who is responsible for a corporation's actions. Is it the shareholders? Is it the CEO? Is it the employees? Is it the board? Is it the customers?
It almost ends up that there are so many people with a thread of responsibility that everyone involved has someone else to blame. Resulting in there being no one to blame.
Fascinating to think about.

What kind of scenario could you see an engineer getting charged? I find that pretty hard to imagine here.
For what its worth, Volkswagon did have at least one engineer(software) convicted for the emissions issue[1].
With that said, I don't know if that is applicable here as I'm not even aware of what the potential charges might be.

There are easy ways to do this though, I use uMatrix.
The joke is that this is a browser setting. Its just set to "Always accept without asking" by default.
