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. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/47/230

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

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 enthusiasti

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

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 par

I agree. Of course, SBF overwhelmingly supported Democrat candidates... https://www.wsj.com/articles/sam-bankman-fried-ftx-team-amon... 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

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?

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

As far as I know, the only instance of a poison pill being triggered was Versata Enterprises, Inc. in December 2008. TL;DR: A competitor (Selectica, Inc.)--wishing to purchase Versata--bought over 5% of the shares. The IRS considers this an

I agree with you, but he doesn’t really have the authority to push the investigation in any other way than to roast whoever he has access to in public meetings. There isn’t congressional support to pass a resolution or bill to do so. He hol

Fauci himself told The Washington Post that mask supply was a motive back in July 2020. So, it was a combination of two factors as you rightly point out. Thank you for correcting my omission. “We didn’t realize the extent of asymptotic spre

The post that is now flagged was referring to Dr. Fauci's March 8, 2020 statement that "there's no reason to be walking around with a mask." Dr. Fauci made that statement in a context of trying to ensure that enough prot

I'd never considered the modulo operator to be that uncommon, but I've mostly worked in systems software and firmware. Is that really the case?

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.

Rust does not build fast. It’s more comparable to C++ if not worse.

Video and audio is probably just a matter of not having gotten around to it yet. WebSockets are another matter. I’m not sure what one would do with a two-way channel in a general sense. It’s often not an idempotent operation.
