Why?

I can see how they got there from the implementation side. There's a library they used for their site, maybe a CMS, where all those choices are just a click away. But for email they have to get their hands on an SMTP server. And that takes non-zero effort.

Why do companies require you to submit a resume but also put the same data into their forms?

Structured data vs. unstructured data. The form is structured data and it can be manipulated easily and reliably with code. With unstructured data it's a lot of guesswork and chance.

Also sometimes HR can't use the resume because the name could reveal gender or ethnicity and they need to blind that. And it's not trivial to manipulate any part of the resume to do that masking.

90s kid doesn't mean you were born in the 90s. It means you experienced your childhood in the 90s. So if you were too young to remember, it doesn't count.

Noo! I loved Pocket. It's integrated into my Kobo eReader. It was the only good way to get articles easily synced on to an eReader. I hope Kobo buys Pocket. Or Rakuten, since that's a tech company and they own Kobo.
