Federal Rule of Evidence 706 already provides for court-appointed experts which report to the court and the parties and for whom the costs are shared. But a battle of the parties' experts can allow the jury to weigh the credibility of the opposing opinions after the court has vetted them. J&J can afford the right experts, and the collective resources of plaintiffs (and the investment of their counsel) can easily match this.

Congress's Commerce Clause power in the Constitution is notorious for being very broadly interpreted in the modern era. Here, Congress is either regulating a "channel" of interstate commerce (the internet) or intrastate economic activity that interferes with interstate commerce (local ISP rules making nationwide ISP business more burdened).

One of the features DocuSign charges a lot of money for is batch envelopes, like uploading a CSV to fill out fields and send to different recipients (basically Mail Merge). Is this something that could work in DocuSeal?

Just guessing, but I think people got so saturated with "Pro" and "Premium" that it started to leave that slimy feeling you get from "Luxury" and other pseudo-fancy marketing terms.

A wonderful product ruined by a proprietary cloud. The problem with the latter was very promptly proven by the unilateral imposition of a subscription. The product is useless without its cloud.

Have you considered that your service, unbeknownst to you, may have been compromised at some point in time, and the source of some phishing page or other malicious material?

Besides that possibility, if your business is truly being "destroyed," have you contemplated retaining counsel to escalate things with Microsoft?

Are you under the impression that judges presiding over civil cases cannot exercise their inherent power (in some jurisdictions) to jail those in (severe) contempt of court?

"Dying in committee" means that the bill did not go to the entire California Senate for a vote, but that a majority of the committee to which the bill was assigned were unable to support the bill to move it onto the floor. It looks like the article links to the site that tracks bill status, but it appears that site does not record how a committee voted.

In corporate leadership, homophobia is not a "personal view," it is a matter of governance and directly impacts talent acquisition. Further, Brave browser is a Chromium browser that does little to stop the browser engine monopoly at risk here—it does nothing meaningful for browser diversity. Not one comprehensible point is made here besides, I suppose, treating Eich's firing as a political issue.

The current state of the open fields doctrine is that your home and its "curtilage" are protected, but the "open fields" beyond that are not. The wording "lives, farms and hunts" suggests that area is his curtilage because it is where he takes part in the activities of private life. Property bounds are not really relevant because 4th amendment privacy rights and property rights are not co-extensive.

The author treats this kind of destructive rotation as a positive, but this is exactly why rotation modifier as part of the object tree is generally a good thing! There's no need to recompute a center because it's the same center, only a rotate operation has been applied on top of the node. Also, that's how rotation works in the web browser, which these design apps are often targeting.
