How do they avoid disincentivizing small parties from suing larger ones in this system? Let's say I have a strong case (say 90% chance of winning) to sue an insurance company for, say, $50k. But the cost of their legal team/expe

You're incorrect. I personally know two retirees who sell off stock regularly as part of their retirement income who do it by hand.

That sounds like a nightmare to do without software computing it. I realize you and likely everyone reading this use tax software, but many people still do them by hand, and this would involve an individual tax-rate lookup for each transac

I have that same experience from WOW, in particular in the larger, pre-LFR raids. There was definitely a sense of teamwork and community that went into succeeding in those, and stories/inside jokes/etc. from those days still get

I think he wants it to be created by someone, but my recollection is that when he announced the plans he specifically said he didn't have time to do it himself and wanted others to take the ball and run with it.

I agree SpaceX recusing itself from winning its own competition is the right thing, but the bit I found interesting was just that they were building a pod as well as the track, putting even more skin in the metaphorical game. I've had

I'm pretty sure that's not the case. My reading was just that his escape was the inspiration for this particular physical feat. I wouldn't say it honors him any more than those escape from Alcatraz triathlons honor the escape
