But I thought Uber and Lyft fixed that problem by allowing people to get predatory leases and then work for below minimum wage?

Both companies are interested in setting precedent. There are procedural advantages to bench trials. For example, bench trials require the presiding judge to stipulate findings of fact while jury trials don't. Jury trials are, there

There are plenty of times when someone puts in an order with every intent to enter the position (i.e. - not to spoof) where something makes them change their mind and kill their order. Why would we punish the sincere actor who changes thei

But the point of the commodities market is, at its core, for hedging, not speculation. The point of the crypto market is, at its core, speculation. Many will disagree with this assertion, but it's true. You grow wheat. You want to m

Spoofing distorts the market by making it appear that there is much more liquidity and demand or supply. Distorted markets are, theoretically, bad for various reasons. Commodities markets are underpinned by the idea of real price discover

At what cost? This is a real question - what is the cost that you believe we should put on a human life? Prevention is a cost function.

We should just use the same objective approach as we use for classifying other drivers: anyone going faster than me is a dangerous asshole and anyone going slower than me is a dangerous idiot. But with salary instead of speed, I guess.

I used the speeding analogy because it shares many similarities: speed limits are posted (Epic read the contract), you are aware that exceeding them is breaking the law generally (Epic knew what would breach the contract), and you agreed to

This is a giant misunderstanding of how contract law works. Company A can certainly sue you for breach of contract and the burden of proof would be on you to show that the contract is invalid. The law looks kindly upon the aggrieved party

Regardless of how you feel about Apple versus Epic, we should all be clear about one thing here: there is no "perceived" infringement of the iOS rules. Epic broke the rules. They do not even try to deny that they breached their

I don't get it, isn't it still possible for everyone to "sideload" Fortnite onto their Mac without it being signed? Why is Epic stopping development instead of just offering the update?

This has been happening for a long time. You really think that a first generation immigrant from Asia spells their last name Liu or Sato with Roman letters?

If you want to draw a parallel to Christianity in this way then we can focus on what the organization does post-crisis. A self identifying Christian who kills people in the name of Christianity is vocally condemned by other self identifying
