That’s a very good point. At the least, the stock price should go to zero. I guess your point is that they are artificially keeping the company out of bankruptcy/receivership.

They didn’t say to let the government run it. Make the patents/trade secrets public domain and sell off the physical assets in open auctions. Someone would buy up the profitable manufacturing lines that aren’t known to be as harmful.

How would investors know if something is kept secret?

Yes. See 47 USC Section 230.

You did make good standalone points. Monopolies have strong downsides.

It is the error message you often get when creating a password.

How is that different than C++? The places where you would pick something like Python instead for expediency still apply…

To be honest, I used to feel the same way that you do about Rust posts. Then I started using it, and I got enthusiastic as well.

It doesn’t appear that you read the article. Social science journals definitely are organizations, businesses and/or single entities that could change.

I’m glad those police were exercising restraint. A similar situation gone wrong was in the news just last week.

Recently, Stacy Abrams and Terry McAuliffe concerning the 2018 race:

“She would be the governor of Georgia today had the governor of Georgia not disenfranchised 1.4 million Georgia voters before the election. That’s what happened to Stacey Abrams. They took the votes away.”

If SBF embezzled FTX customer funds to make his donations, then I’m not sure why FTX directly donating a smaller sum is significant.

Personally, I see it as a more general example of a broken campaign finance system. It’s independent of party.

I agree. Of course, SBF overwhelmingly supported Democrat candidates...

I prefer to read your comment as an epic troll.

My kids' bus stop (in Florida) is half a mile from the house. This is absurd.

She should be writing Governor Abbott about a pardon. He was just up for re-election last week and might have jumped all over this for the publicity.

That's the problem with the legal system. It's extraordinarily common to plead guilty when innocent because fighting the charge is more damaging than accepting a deal.

I even had this happen to me with a traffic ticket. It was way too expensive to fight it even though I could easily proven my innocence.

This lady probably would lose at trial and then have to appeal. The judge could instruct the jury that they have to adjudicate whether she dropped off the child or not regardless of whether that should be reasonable. You often can't argue constitutionality and some other factors until appeal. That would bankrupt the family.

That’s analogous to saying that “vaccination isn’t a great strategy from the perspective of those with adverse reactions.” In another thread, you did not accept that line of reasoning. Why is it valid in this case?
jmaygarden

I definitely did NOT know that when the vaccinations were first rolled out. Do you have a source?

Are you thinking of C++ issues with constructors? I don’t see anything wrong with the use of static variables in this single file C program. This isn’t a library; it’s a standalone web server.

This is anecdotal, but I recall that Alabama put up highway markers in kilometers during the 1990's [1]. It confused people, and they cancelled the program. You can still find signs that haven't fallen down or been stolen in some places.
