It isn't going to just damage their brand -- Robin Hood the blockbuster business is basically over. They will never recover from this. Amusingly, them blowing up Robin Hood made me put up an order for $GME. If their position is so val

This reads like a simple hit piece. Chesa is right to eliminate cash bail. Whether or not someone should be released from jail should have nothing to do with money -- it should be based entirely on flight risk and the threat to society peop

AMP was never anything but a naked power grab by a monopoly. Google (Alphabet) needs to be broken up.

I'm not a doctor, just a person who also has Alzheimer's in his family, so I've thought and read a lot about it. My recipe is basically: Sleep enough, exercise (especially outside), eat right, make sure your brain is active a

Indeed. The government basically says "Please give us 1% of the profit you made from defrauding millions, and we will call it a day."

Yep. They're fining the customer fraud, not the lack of E2EE. I wish executives would start going to jail over this stuff. Bet they'd stop lying to their customers then.

Just call yourself a "software engineer". What you're describing is not a jack of all trades.

If you really are a jack of all trades, it doesn't matter. At that point, you're smart and capable and generally a great hire. If a company isn't hiring well enough to recognize that, you don't wanna work there anyway.

OK, now do Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, and probably half of the Fortune 500 as well. To those saying "Do X first" -- the DOJ Antitrust Division has an army of lawyers, and they can bring many cases at once.

As a former lawyer, this makes a lot of sense to me. America in particular has an insane number of lawyers. The bar exam isn't actually that hard to pass (look at the pass rates for native English speakers, they're high) and there

The fact that the Sacklers are going to get to keep the billions harvested by ruining the lives of tens of millions of Americans bespeaks a morally bankrupt civil society. The Sackler family literally belongs in prison. Instead, they'r
