I'm not talking private. Think of it this way. The government pays somebody to collect data about how many bicyclists use an intersection to decided if they should add a dedicated bike light. Why would the government need to use a warr

Eh, if a cop sat at a Dunkin Donuts and wrote down every license plate they saw that wouldn't require a warrant. Why should contracting that out to a private company require a warrant? Flock isn't say Google which collects locatio

Why are they different shareholders? Trivially, the company can expect that it's current shareholders will hold the stock for a long time and so there's no reason to "juice" the current price at the cost of future price.

But there's no concrete definition of fiduciary! One can easily argue that by having flat pricing they're doing their fiduciary responsibility because it's setting the company up to succeed in the long run through strong cons

His 56 billion pay package [1]. In order for him to receive it the stock would need to increase 13x [2] (the AMD stock increase from 150 to 600 is only 4x). Despite succeeding at doing that, he and Tesla were sued over the pay package. If O

Federal Reserve has no real tools to fight inflation. They can get the buckets out and start bailing but until somebody plugs the whole in the deficit there's a structural problem with the boat. People love to bring up the gold chart a

The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, was sued over an extremely similar situation. So somebody will care. That said, this is really about the principal. Sure, if I give you $10 and you give me a hamburger it's not like some illegal transaction

Wouldn't an ad network be better for exfiltration than video games? While I'm sure (by numbers) a lot of people play video games, I would bet percentage wise that a lot more people open webpages.

Not thin air. Existing AMD shareholders will have their holding diluted. Or assuming banks loan them money, if say OpenAI goes under then the banks just lose that money.

If 1/10 investment lasts 100 years that seems pretty good to me. Plus I'd bet a lot of the 9/10 of that investment had a lot of the material cost re-coup'd when scrapping the steel. I don't think you're going t

IIUC, the issue is not that they can't verify OP. It's that there is a policy decision not to restore access. So you have to work around the policy issue.

I disagree. I think the fact that Democrats let Trump have a blank check-book for his first term was a massive mistake. We went from having government shutdowns all the time due to the rampant spending to just covering up the fact that he&#

Sure, the entire thing is false and campaigning. It is not true that Democrats blocked H.R.5371. The bill was voted on unlike say when Republicans block a bill by sending the representatives home instead of voting on say an Epstein related

Where do you that sentiment from? The sentiment is that when the Government picks winners then they also remove other companies from the market. The lack of competition causes that winner to stagnate to the point where they can only compete
