I have an imperfect "canary in the coalmine" test for whether/where the principled/idealist nerds have the power vs the mercenary/cynical nerds have the power: Advertisers vs Ad Blockers - as long as the Ad Blockers

Love it. Very cool. Brings back amazing memories from when I was in high school. A friend invited me to come to the museum for some drawing thing, turned out I got to participate in making a Sol Lewitt drawing. Had no idea who he was at the

FT uses "underwater" because the deal was $300 Billion and the stock has lost $315 Billion in market cap since the deal. That's a bit of a stretch, but the rest of the article is very good.
