If you're not going to give a few free test runs, I need some examples.

Is my company's private information e.g. source code kept end-to-end encrypted?

There are plenty of React dashboard libraries. They seem to be useful in building a top-level overview of a database with many tables. Can someone list a few real-world examples (web sites) where the dashboard is more than 10% of the work in building the site? The cases I know, e.g. wise.com or quickbooks.intuit.com would be much less than 10%.

Options are a leveraged way of buying or shorting stocks. To win, you need to be right in both direction and timing. There's nothing passive about it.

If the law makes apple ban 3d party e2e encrypted apps along with its own, UK sales of iphones will be a good test of society's current values.

Legal action costs you money. If you win, you get a "judgement". To attempt to collect on that judgement costs you money. There are many ways to avoid paying a judgement. You need to decide if you can collect from the customer before you start down this path.

A British judge named Alfred Denning was Posner's spiritual predecessor in the last century. Unlike Posner, Denning made it to Britain's supreme court.

In law school, student's were warned early that while Denning's opinions were regularly published in casebooks because they clearly illuminated the law, he was often on the wrong side of the result.

Seems like this was a simulation on a quantum computer, and that such a simulation is considered equivalent to/interchangeable with doing it in real life???

I don't think bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme. But if it becomes the "last man standing" in crypto, the scammers will just use it as the backbone for their scams, instead of promoting their own standalone coins. Smart contracts, NFTs etc. all grafted onto bitcoin just like the lightning network has been (I am not saying the lightning network is a scam, just an example of something complex grafted onto bitcoin).

It could be that married couples get large financial gifts/boosts from their parents more often than unmarried couples. If this is the case, then the involvement of the parents in the marriage ceremony may be a major factor in this outcome.

I don't think the NIH is the only source for this type of data. Don't 23andMe and other DNA data companies have millions of genomes of individuals along with their names and addresses? These can easily be (or already have been) linked to much more personal, financial, and other information than is in the NIH data.

We know these companies have used their data for law enforcement purposes. Do they also allow academic researchers to use it (anonymized, of course)?

Unfortunately, Jones lost both his cases by default -- there were no trials. The jury trials were only on the amount of damages. So if the unvaccinated start suing everyone who defamed them and worse, this case sets no precedent. But it might indicate a ballpark figure for their damages. If 30% of Americans are unvaccinated, their Jones-damages could be 100 Million x $50 Million. That could cause a few bankruptcies.

This guy has learned that the vaccines don't stop infection, don't stop transmission, and in his own experience don't stop serious symptoms. Yet he still promotes the vaccines. His problem isn't hubris.

What's your barrier to entry that supports charging money? An equivalent list of articles seems like it could be generated in a few hours a week from the content on r/Archaeology. Maybe that could even be automated.
