The comptroller’s report makes it look more like white flight. Especially figure 6.

> the carrier has no recourse to change that on their iOS devices they are selling to their customers They can just not sell those devices? I find this argument pretty twisted. It’s also based on a false premise. Verizon is also free to

Nobody’s buying property where they think the price will fall. If there’s a cartel keeping prices high, I’d have to be an idiot not to join.

I think using the ITC as the forum of choice for patent disputes qualifies. I can’t see why the courts can’t handle this. The federal agency that makes sure the windshield wiper fluid I put in my car is legit isn’t really set up for evaluat

My understanding is Masimo as a whole couldn’t get the thing working for whatever reason, so key people left for greener pastures. I think this outrage is misplaced.

Published guidance is the correct tool. Blocking acquisitions doesn’t really decrease uncertainty.

That’s who’s blocking the sale according to Adobe’s press release: https://news.adobe.com/news/news-details/2023/Adobe-and-Figm... Depending on specifics, the EU stopping blockbuster acquisitions in the US st

If Adobe’s a buyer at $20b, they’re a buyer at $20b. I don’t see how selling stock to the public along the way increases fragmentation or prevents monopoly.

Nate Silver touches on it a bit with his digression into academic roots and technocratic streaks, but I think the divide is naturally driven by incentives rather than differences of opinions and beliefs. One group rewards doctrinaires while

What evidence are you looking for? No despot on Earth has managed to stamp it out, unlike countless other languages. You can say things like lingua franca and everyone knows what you’re talking about. There aren’t any pronouns that depend o

I dunno, the morality police can be pretty aggressive if you leave the tourist areas.

Today’s chatbots definitely don’t pass Turing’s standard imitation game. You have two humans and one machine. One human gets to help the other human trip up the machine. It’s trivial to trip up today’s chatbots.

China uses the death penalty this way. North Korea has an even stricter system. I don’t think the number of cases have rapidly gone to zero. It seems to breed endogenous corruption and a mafioso approach to internal affairs. You have to dea

Not sure that’s true—practically the entire planet finds NYDFS prudential enough.

Yeah, (un)fortunately simple math is all you need to see the carbon cycle could not possibly have worked that way. There isn’t enough carbon produced under the proposed scenarios to support hundreds of years of tree growth, let alone millio

Hah, yeah, it’s unsurprising that a new asset class isn’t very popular on a forum frequented by the government’s “workhorse” taxpayers. Especially an asset class created by people with the same skills as them, rather than guys in suits. Yes

Have we sent up any archeological tools for sample prep and whatnot? Can’t find what we don’t look for, no?

If Schiller had to make those points in what sounds like an internal debate, and the plan of record at some point was iMessage on Android, then it follows that Apple didn’t see it as that important.

I dunno, fixing the market to be “company X’s own services” doesn’t seem to be in the spirit of antitrust laws. Should I be allowed to sell gasoline at Shell’s gas stations?

Apple does charge for access to their servers. Or are you saying they’re free to pick another business model?

The whole point of voting in my country is to serve as a check on the legislature against using the government to do things to its citizens. The ballot box isn’t a tool for societal change. A dictatorship is a much better system for chang
