Judges also typically hold an aversion to what could be likened to the legal version of 'I'm not touching you!' That's at least part of the reason behind the revocation of his bail.

Alright, you're cynical and conspiratorial. Even assuming it's true that Epstein didn't take his own life, SBF holds nowhere near the level of significance to justify such actions. The matters he's been associated with p

Yes, that is where the bankruptcy proceedings for FTX are taking place. Bankruptcy law from other countries aside from maybe the Bahamas wouldn’t really be relevant to FTX.

Why would a bankruptcy court judge care about that? They have pretty long terms and they’re not appointed by congress.

It’s not uncommon for a bankruptcy court to initiate a clawback of payments like this.

In the major US city where I live I’ve often seen fire engines re-route to avoid double parked cars. Seems much more efficient than just plowing through.

Does that not hold true at present? As a straightforward instance that arises periodically, if a bank were to erroneously deposit funds into your account you’re under obligation to return the funds.

I didn’t say they couldn’t, I said they shouldn’t unless truly there are no other options.

This also may cause damage to the fire truck, or to legally parked cars the disabled car gets pushed into, or to pedestrians on nearby sidewalks.

Accepting illegitimate funds without awareness doesn't appear to be a criminal offense, based on my understanding (short of falling afoul of money laundering). The punishment typically just involves returning the funds. Unless there&#x

Possibly, but the risk appears substantial for a relatively modest payoff. If their guilt is glaringly apparent and your stance is interpreted as supportive, the blowback could be even more detrimental compared to promptly creating distance

I must emphasize that while this is a significant miscarriage of justice, she was 98 years old and the risk of death on any given day seems quite high relatively.

That would be an incredibly shortsighted legal strategy given the trial hasn’t begun. Far more likely is he feels a compulsive need to “clear the air” and has zero clue that it’s extremely damaging to his legal defense.

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not, but the NYT crossword does in fact accept, use, and even encourage random people to submit crosswords.

It appears to be an exceedingly myopic decision: Preparing for trial at home instead of in confinement would be far more beneficial to his defense groundwork.

Software architecture is an ever-evolving aspect, especially in large companies where multiple teams may concurrently modify it without coordination. As a simple example: Predicting the downstream impacts of updating a module from c++11 to

If there is no process for re-evaluating code architecture choices, it can create challenges regardless of the approach taken. Experience tells me that relying on copy+paste as a solution isn't a cure-all, or even a better approach, an

The issue at hand is not about cleverness. Code was devised to address a specific problem (DRY), which it did quite elegantly. Then, the situation evolved, rendering the solution inappropriate. When a controller starts to deviate from the s

Regrettably, there are individuals who exhibit evident symptoms yet would gladly travel and deceive on a simple questionnaire. That might explain why governments adopt a blanket rapid test approach irrespective of the potential for false po

Indeed, it appears that this is somewhat redundant. A majority, if not all, of the rapid tests I have used explicitly caution against taking one in the absence of symptoms, as it is expected to yield negligible results.

Are you asking for evidence that knowing everyone’s locations and travel itineraries would assist in contact tracing? Because I think that one is obvious. Otherwise, I’m not particularly interested in having a COVID conversation.
