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?
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 ownership change, and it imposes a penalty to discourage trading of Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryovers. A poison pill was in place to prevent this tax issue. The board executed the poison pill to dilute Selectica ownership from 6.4% to 3.9%, and that action held up through appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court.
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 holds minority views within a minority party, and he is just one legislator, not an executive.
In other words, the only way that Rand Paul can influence the situation in any meaningful way is through political means. So, I find it hard to fault the theatrics with Fauci as distasteful as there are.
To prevent rehashing this, I have discovered the exact same discussion from 5 years ago.
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 spread…what happened as the weeks and months came by, two things became clear: one, that there wasn’t a shortage of masks, we had plenty of masks and coverings that you could put on that’s plain cloth…so that took care of that problem. Secondly, we fully realized that there are a lot of people who are asymptomatic who are spreading infection. So it became clear that we absolutely should be wearing masks consistently.”

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 protective equipment was available for frontline health workers at a time when there were runs on toilet paper in stores.
I believe you are mischaracterizing the argument that was made. Unfortunately, we may no longer view the original post because your opinion has apparently been deemed more correct.
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?
I've worked with people who were fine programmers and when I brought up FizzBuzz had no idea how to solve it.
I would not categorize FizzBuzz as a puzzle. It is one of the most straight-forward ways to test for an understanding of iteration and selection. Those are fundamental building blocks that all programmers must know.
Your point about anxiety under the unusual pressure is valid. However, I personally find that to be a useful datapoint in the interview process as well. This is especially the case for a startup with time pressures or a role that may interact with customers. Otherwise, the onus is on the interviewer to set the applicant at ease.
I guess Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. took this information into account when they went with “Thickburger.”
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.
I started to build some internal tools (that utilize Rust libraries to interface with hardware) using Tauri last year. That effort ended after trying to cross-compile to aarch64 and hitting a ton of roadblocks. It looks like it is still an open issue. So, Raspberry Pi, for example, is not supported.
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.
I have doubts that classes could be effectively conducted outdoors in Georgia. The heat index is 93F/34C with 59% humidity as I’m writing this comment. This isn’t Northern California where people can start companies in a garage year round.
This doesn’t even get into how they’ve been bread to favor early survival versus longevity. Lab mice have abnormally long telomeres.
