The other thing that helps you is that you're made mostly of water, which is one of the substances with the highest heat capacity. So it's hard to heat up or cool.

Also there's a mechanism for taking into account charges like the campaign finance violations during his sentencing. (Which I'm not sure how I feel about) And in general his sentencing was about whether they were going to put him

Yeah though people tend to argue semantics in this hypothetical. Especially if you win the bet. I definitely consider it akin to theft even if people don't quite want to use the word. And importantly even if you ignore the fact that pe

Not quite true a lot of people seem to think that if you won the roulette spin that you committed no foul. At least in terms of how they argued SBF should be sentenced. So as you said the commingling was a large part of their crime. But the

I was wondering why he got so "much" time, but if he didn't testify that makes sense. I couldn't remember the list of testifiers.

Yeah, I mean, you wouldn't need an ethicist to justify moral behavior or even just to tell you what is moral. If you're high up in a company you should have the life experience to know already.

I'm of the opinion that prions occur more often than we know, it's just that to be a prion "disease", you need more properties than just spreading the misfolded shape. Importantly a critical property is that it needs to

Madoff spent ~12 years in prison before he died at 82. They gave him a 150 year sentence for a crime on par-ish with SBF's crimes, because at 70 there is little difference between 20 years and 100 years, so you may as well go for the s

One of the victims at the sentencing mentioned that there were at least 3 suicides.

Parole means you're still serving your time and have a bunch of restrictions on movement and other things. Early release means your sentence is concluded and the only lasting impacts on your life is that of having been convicted of a f

If you're the CEO you're likely not allowed to trade this readily, no matter your reason. High-level execs tend to have to pre-declare sales and purchases months in advance.

Aren't purchases also shared between stores? Like if you buy an app on iPhone you also get it on iPad?

As far as I understand in the aviation world the expectation is that you tell the FAA after any incident, nevermind crash, and presumably wait for their guidance on the wreck.

The only sensible thing that would produce Earth based revenues would be some kind of intellectual property, but I don't know what is both sustainable enough and valuable enough to fund a colony. EDIT: this is also made worse by the fa

Mostly because expectations were so low. Especially after the disaster that was the evidentiary hearing where he offered some testimony without the jury present. (The judge wanted to see if what he wanted to testify was allowable) During th

And even if you fire a client, you still have a duty towards them in regards to not tanking their defense.

That might have been a major consideration before he took the stand, where he perjured himself and showed no remorse. Now, I'm not sure the judge might not decide "If I'm going to give him what's effectively a life sente

Yeah, but even if it's not automatic and you need specific errors. A legal team is going to file one. Their arguments might vary and ultimately might not be very good, but you miss every shot you don't take.

I don't know, but I very much assume so. He violated his bail already (multiple times) leading to it getting revoked. The judge also previously said, when asked about whether SBF could remain out of jail during just during his trial af

As others said, the judge will decide. One of the reasons for the delay is the preparation of the Pre-Sentence Report (PSR) that a parole officer will prepare. There's also time to argue about mitigating and exacerbating factors by the

Ponzi schemes in general refer to schemes where you use one customer's money to pay another customer's "returns on investment" without actually doing anything productive with the money. The core crime alleged in the FTX

As another comment says: Long and short scale. It depends on language more than metric/imperial.

I literally can't think of a more dangerous kind of research that we could be doing as a species than messing around and making viruses more dangerous. If we really have to do it, then we can do it in the middle of a desert with quaran

Presumably it doesn't require an expensive monitor. If you don't underestimate the render time (and miss the refresh) then the frame will be fresher.

The unit is months not years (as I also thought until I watched Shkreli's video.)

I'm also starting to think that people underplay the devastation financial crimes cause relative to physical violence. People in a very real sense "eat money". If you steal someone's life savings you've harmed them

Yeah it'd be a very bad idea for him to get up on the stand, but I'm putting large odds on it happening despite his lawyers' warnings. But who knows, maybe having his bail revoked gave him some perspective of how seriously he

That was a shock to me because it used to actually be everyone's names.
