Apparently China Airlines and Starlux are both going to fly that route next year. I have a hard time imagining there's demand for one let alone both.

Good luck a) actually getting a price named and b) having that price be honored. Outside of certain procedures which are used to cash payers (dentists, lasik, plastic surgeons, imaging) this is nearly impossible in my experience.

Right, they have plenty of good and dormant IP, they're just uninterested in or bad at executing on it. Cities Skylines (1, not 2) did well, for example.

I assume the acquisition is mostly about the sports games and Battlefield but EA really is sitting on some fantastic IP: Bioware, Westwood, and Maxis were all great studios.

The problem is that the incentives are exactly reversed. Banks limit your credit because they don't want to lose their money. Sports betting/casinos/etc want you to place bigger bets because they want you to lose your mon

IMO it sort of depends. For a serious crime like murder you want to imprison them for their sentence and then deport them. You obviously don't want the most serious consequence for a foreigner coming to the US to murder someone to be d

It sounds like they had valid visas (or ESTAs), the question is whether they were allowed to do what they were doing on those visas. That question potentially has 475 different answers too, because there are certain sorts of what one would
