Ah, you're right about that. I thought the 200-million odd settlement announced a few weeks back was the same thing. It's not. Hope the USVI gets all they are asking for and then some. The way Dimon testified it's so obvio

Dunno - I mean if you've got that sort of money, you might have more people willing to be yes-men and not rock the boat than give honest advice. Perhaps Son has surrounded himself with people afraid to tell him no.

A fool and his money are easily parted. Only logical explanation I can think of. Otherwise, why would he give Adam Neumann another billion after WeWork blew up so spectacularly?

For sure. This is bad faith 101 from JPMC, and I don't really think they'll care if they get a slap on the wrist. 4 million dollar fine IIRC. The government's agencies that have this data should release it to the American

I don't really play mobile games. The one exception I have is chess. LiChess is a fantastic free app that has standard chess and a half a dozen different variations. Even has an offline mode where you can play the computer or play a

Not hateful at all. You have an opinion and it's backed up by an easily provable logic. Activision is indeed toxic, but they do have a host of great games both under their Activision banner and their Blizzard banner. I can see why a

They really do. They've taken a whack for some of the recent games they've put out, and the pressure is on for them to deliver with the likes of Starfield and a continuation of Halo Infinite. But overall, the service is fantasic.

Darn. I have Ultimate, and I love it. But MSFT were clearly leaving money on the table to drive adoption, and it's clearly worked. Still a great deal overall, but marginally less so now. Even then, it's a fantastic service - I d

Didn't the OceanGate CEO basically come out a few years ago and say that it was just good business to ignore regulations?

What people tend to miss is that the likes of Lockheed, Raytheon, and Boeing do this shit on purpose because they are public companies with few customers, and effectively zero accountability. They are literally forced by public markets to

How does it have access to sealed court records? I thought the whole point of "sealed" meant that the contents of the case were off-limits to the public for any and all reasons

Instead of 2 rich assholes fighting in a cage, how about they skip that, and each give, say, 10 billion, to various charities, and compete to see who adds more value to society via that money? The headlines of "Musk fights Zuckerberg i

The title of the article implies that Spotify had a plan. I don't think that's accurate. Unless their plan was "1. sign Joe Rogan 2. ??? 3. Profit", implying that they had a plan at all is stretching it. They are a digit

I've lived in AZ. The amount of golf courses in the PHX and Tucson areas is mindbogglingly dumb as there's hundreds of other uses for that water, most of which are exponentially better for society at large. Granted, AZ does have

100%. Teachers unions aren't staffed by teachers. The goal of the union is to preserve the union's power, nothing more, nothing less. I'm all for teachers unionizing and fighting for better pay, better funding, and things t

Any non-paywall version available? Would love to read this in full. Without reading it though, my personal hunch as to why this is happening is a perfect storm of a generation of teachers conditioned by the idiotic NCLB act mixed with a gen

Saw it coming, yet we collectively decided that Arizona was the perfect place to build TSMC a massive fab facility? Putting such a facility in a place that is running out of the little water it already had? Brilliant.

The whole point of the game is multi-step thinking. If I make a move, I need to prepare for the inevitable response, which might or might not be obvious to my opponent. The game is inherently more and more complex after each move. While th

How are LGBT people persecuted? Because we as a society are actively engaging with politicians who want to destroy them. There's currently a popular political party who defends religious institutions that think being LGBTQ is a choic

I'm honestly shocked that some of the most powerful LGBTQ people in finance and tech haven't come out and told the Republican party to knock this shit off. They have enough $$$ to sway lots of non-MAGA middle-of-the-aisle politic
