What does it mean for a phone number, bank card, and IP to "match together to make sense"?

When you say a portion is that more like 1%, 5%, 20%, 50%, or 90%?

That's your desired conclusion, not an explanation of how you're reaching it. And the only way that would make any sense is if you also believe that what Sony is doing wouldn't be anticompetitive even if they were selling the

That makes no sense, I'm sorry. The criteria ultimately need to be clear so people know what is allowed and what is not. Either the fact that Sony has a sell-console-at-a-loss business model is why they deserve a pass for anticompetiti

I still don't see how this is inconsistent with what I described. If your business is to sell consoles at >$X/unit then your business is to sell consoles at a profit. If it is to sell at <$X/unit then your business is t

This is a fantastic explanation, thanks for writing it. It also makes me wonder something: where exactly is the biggest difference between a 32-core x86 CPU (AVX512 basically being 16 32-bit lanes) and (say) an NVIDIA GPU with ~8-16 process

So let's say the breakeven price was $X. You're saying if they sell at ($X-$0.01)/unit then restricting competition is OK but if they sell at $X/unit then it isn't? Am I representing your stance correctly and if so

I actually can enjoy being the digital janitor, when I'm allowed to. What's frustrating is when things are dirty and they don't even let you clean.

Are you saying they already had a warrant for his arrest but needed an excuse other than a warrant to pull him over? That makes... no sense? Or are you saying they wanted to catch him and then use whatever they found as a warrant to sea

by dataflow 2mo ago
I'm so confused, how is this creating a pretext ? A pretext is a false reason. Like if they searched for one reason but they really did it for a different one. But that's not what I'm reading here? It seems they suspected so

If he did not balk that means he did not refuse. Which means he complied. What he did not do was comply/capitulate/etc.

by dataflow 2mo ago
By "balk" did you instead mean "budge"? Or am I misunderstanding what you meant?

I've seen the meat version plenty of times too, it's not like I couldn't understand that either. That was the entire reason I checked the ingredients, which had never failed me until then. Restaurants normally list something
