![]() ![]() First year mortality did not differ between populations for males (18–20%), but for females it was lower in America (15%) compared to Japan (25%). In the America population, males had higher mortality rates than females, whereas in the Japan population we found no differences between the sexes. We found that birth type (wild-born or captive-born) did not influence survival patterns in either population, but there were differential effects of sex on longevity. Females who survive to their first birthday are estimated to survive 42.4 (40.0–46.3) years and males 35.5 (32.6–38.0) years. Overall, survival patterns were similar between regions, and the median life expectancy from birth is estimated at 35.7 (95% CI = ) years for females and 30.1 (27.3–34.3) years for males across both populations. Here, we present the first comparative analysis of life history data for two ex situ chimpanzee populations residing in North America (1975–2020 n = 730) and Japan (1980–2020 n = 660). As life history variables can be altered by differences in environmental influences (whether natural or artificial), there is substantial value to being able to compare across populations. Such information requires prolonged and consistent record-keeping over many generations, so for chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes), this equates to many decades of input.

Number puzzles appeared in newspapers in the late 19th century, when French puzzle setters began experimenting with removing numbers from magic squares. History From La France newspaper, July 6, 1895: The puzzle instructions read, "Use the numbers 1 to 9 nine times each to complete the grid in such a way that the horizontal, vertical, and two main diagonal lines all add up to the same total." Predecessors newspaper, and then The Times (London), in 2004, thanks to the efforts of Wayne Gould, who devised a computer program to rapidly produce unique puzzles. However, the modern Sudoku only began to gain widespread popularity in 1986 when it was published by the Japanese puzzle company Nikoli under the name Sudoku, meaning "single number". The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which for a well-posed puzzle has a single solution.įrench newspapers featured variations of the Sudoku puzzles in the 19th century, and the puzzle has appeared since 1979 in puzzle books under the name Number Place. In classic Sudoku, the objective is to fill a 9 × 9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3 × 3 subgrids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", or "regions") contain all of the digits from 1 to 9. Sudoku ( / s uː ˈ d oʊ k uː, - ˈ d ɒ k-, s ə-/ Japanese: 数独, romanized: sūdoku, lit.'digit-single' originally called Number Place) is a logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle. ![]() ![]() If the offer is unavailable, you can still take advantage of our $20 discount.

I've made our Technical Support team aware of this, and they are currently looking into it. But that's the gist.Thank you for bringing this to our attention. There were more details in the article that were fairly interesting. HR Block says you have to contact them, but won't specify how. If you did accidentally hit accept to the privacy invasion, both companies make it hard to cancel your consent.įor TurboTax, you have to email Be sure to mention that you’d like to revoke your “consent for use of tax return information.” You may even be allowing non US companies to have your data. It doesn't even specify how long they can use your info or what it's really used for. Laws state they can't auto opt you in, but both companies appear to be almost tricking people to give up their personal information to each company for their tax return. The short summary is that basically Turbotax Online and HR Block have long legal prompts that many users blindly hit accept on when you start an online tax account. This is one reason NOT to use online tax software: you give up your return’s basic federal privacy protections. Has anyone else run into these issues with Turbotax Desktop, or am I screwing something up?Įdit: Apparently the charitable deduction bug is a known issue that has been going on for over a year: The only thing I liked better about the online version was that it could import a pdf of a form like a 1098 or W2 and automatically input the data (usually, it failed once and imported incorrectly on a different one). The online version also doesn't have the detailed help descriptions easily available for more complicated questions and situations. There is no form mode, and I can't navigate it nearly as easily as the desktop version. I realize the simple solution is to file with Turbotax Online, but my problem is that I hate it compared to the desktop version. Correctly shows the municipal bond interest as an addition Correctly shows the $600 charitable deduction and doesn't reset it I'm almost positive I answered the questions identically to the online version. For reference, my state is tiny and has a near zero portion of municipal interest from VWIUX. ![]() I'm specifically marking the gains as "This property does not qualify for exclusion", which should I believe mark it as a state addition instead of a state subtraction. I can't tell if it's a bug, or if I'm answering some question wrong. I can't figure out how to get the software to declare it correctly as an addition. State additions for municipal bond interest (VWIUX) are being added as subtractions. And yes, we have well over $600 in charitable cash contributions. I then have to go and manually reset it to 600 in forms. I can visually see when it happens because my tax just jumps up slightly after clicking a button. The charitable deduction for married filed jointly keeps randomly resetting to $300 instead of $600. ![]() ![]() So I tried Turbotax Online as a double check comparison since my tax situation is semi complicated this year. I had already purchased Turbotax Desktop and used it before realizing I now get Turbotax free from Fidelity. ![]() I'm in the unique situation where I have both Turbotax Desktop and Turbotax Online. ![]() ![]() ![]() HP Image Zone Software included.Professional-quality photo printing and editing.Print professional-quality photos and enjoy the convenience of direct printing and photo lab processing in the home.

With TSMC valued at a lower price-to-earnings ratio than the typical global stock, and Micron and Samsung trading at about 1.5 times book value, chip manufacturers provide a way to participate in the exciting growth of AI while remaining disciplined about valuation. While it is very unclear whether many of those screaming about their AI angle will ever produce profits or even revenues from it, they will need to buy a boatload of advanced processors that are surrounded by massive amounts of very fast and high-margin memory chips. They are the weapons and ammo suppliers to all those striving to win in AI. However, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Micron Technology and Samsung Electronics are big beneficiaries of the competitive frenzy that’s just started. ![]() We will need to cross a chasm from hype to actual results before the real opportunities emerge.ĪI is already providing a very nice new demand growth wedge for some of our Advantaged Industrials. It now trades for more than 20 times sales – likely to grow rapidly, but then Cisco (the Nvidia of its time) grew rapidly after 2000, too, and that didn’t make it a rewarding investment. Though hardly an underfollowed name, Nvidia now expects revenue for this quarter to be some 55% higher than market analysts estimated just a few months ago. (We’ll use “AI” conventionally as “artificial intelligence” from here on.) A recent guest on CNBC openly admitted that they know AI is a bubble, but they’re buying because they’ve learned from the past 10 years that the bubble can keep going. But today it looks way too hyped and crowded, with profit paths too uncertain. The other “AI”, artificial intelligence, will also have a big long-term impact. We’re speaking, of course, about Advantaged Industrials, which we believe present a fantastic investment opportunity. Yet, they still sell for very attractive, we might even say neglected, valuations. They are solving some of the world’s most important and intractable problems. Many of them have a sustainable edge over their competitors. AI businesses have locked in big sources of long-term demand growth.
