S&C basically invented modern white collar crime. It's hard to find outside of libraries, but: https://www.amazon.com/Law-Unto-Itself-Sullivan-Cromwell/dp/... is an exceptional read on their history. (I s

Thanks for that! As someone who got into tech directly because of MUDs, it was sad to see TMS go.

Very sadly, TMS was shifted to an archive-only format a short while ago. End of an era. It looks like Mud Connect is dead, too. Not sure there are any aggregators still standing? :/

I lived in Tampa for ~10 years (South Tampa for ~6) before moving to Seattle in '19, and the explosion in prices since I left is absolutely insane. It was already overpriced, and now it's just absolutely unhinged. It's not ev

You're talking about school distinctions, which doesn't have anything to do with what the person you're responding to is saying. They're talking about taking the class elsewhere, and transferring the credit, so the end t

In some California counties, and other adjacent states with similarly-minded sheriffs, the police treat armored cars carrying funds from legal dispensaries as piggy banks where they get to take the cash and the business is responsible for p

How is this different from Uber's god view?

definitely the other way around, SPACs require up-front capital and a lot more connections!

It originated at Google, but at this point most BigTech or places founded by former BigTech have their own version. There's even a SaaS version: https://www.golinks.io/

Given that the people being detailed are literally documented predators & abusers, I think the tone of the article was overly kind.

I think the person you are responding to's point isn't that these are people to look up to, but it's how Peter Thiel would prefer people acted. Thiel was a major sponsor of Vance's campaign.

Sorry, to be clear, it can be locked from the inside. The internal lock continues to function just fine. You just can't lock (or unlock) it from the outside.

No, they really can't. Maybe in a handful of places that have completely given up on the idea of tenant's rights, but this wouldn't fly in almost any major city in the US.
