The Wikipedia article hints that it went through the courts. Probably the only legally recognised rights were of the property (real estate) owners and those rights didn't include using the sidewalk as a display area and blasting out an

It's not about looks but efficient use of land: Manhattan was (and still is) the financial capital of the world. It had the most valuable real estate in the world. Radio Row was a poor use of real estate. Before the Chinese traded elec

Changes in the legislative landscaped may have influenced the timing of the price war and the telecoms bubble. But the price war was inevitable. And the telecoms bubble was highly likely in any case. Telecoms investment was a response to cr

1. When Trump lost to Biden, many Republicans including Mike Pence certified Biden's win as prescribed by the constitution. 2. Trump knows the military will not participate in a coup. 3. Trump will not run for a third term. If he does,

No, some financial institutions like Binance only allows clients to get statements for the last year or so. P2P transaction details go back only a couple of months. Sometimes your employer goes out of business. Employees do not always prese

Correct. While the original KeeLog cipher is most likely no longer secure, Microchip moved on to AES. KeeLoq is also used for garage door openers. Some KeeLoq receivers have a "learning mode" where it adds the next KeeLoq transmit

1500 tokens/s is 5.4 million per hour. According to the document it costs $1.20 x 5.4 = $6.48 per hour. Which is not enough to even pay the interest on one $3m chip. What am I missing here ?

This link explains it better. And it proves my point: VAT on capital goods (in this case helmets) bought by VAT registered businesses are effectively refunded in full. https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/taxation/vat&

Yes, VAT is levied on the sale of the tank by it's manufacturer. But the distiller can claim back that VAT. This continues up the value chain except for the consumer who is not allowed the claim back VAT. https://en.wikipedi

VAT only reduces consumption. Income tax also reduces investment. For example, if a distiller buys a tank, income tax is immediately paid. But VAT only generates revenue many years later for the country when the beverage leaves the store. S

When people have more money, they tend to buy larger cars that they drive further. Flying is also a luxury. So corporations are involved in the sense that they pay people more than a living wage.

The oil companies are saying their product is vital to the economy and they are not wrong. How else will we get food from the farms to the store ? Ambulances to the hospitals ? And many, many other things. Taxes are the best way to change b

I fail to see how corporations are responsible for the climate crisis: Politicians won't tax gas because they'll get voted out. We know that Trump is not captured by corporations because his trade policies are terrible. If anythin

Please go read up what happened outside Krakow, Poland in the 1940s. I did. I actually visited. Trump is still very very far away from that. Assuming this man is innocent, we should rather blame El Salvador for actually imprisoning him.
