Actually, you are be sorely wrong. Aviation is ~2% of human CO2 emission, and 12% of transport CO2 emission, versus 74% from roads. Judging from the streets and highways, most of that 74% is coming from household vehicles, and most of the r

But we do dig stuff from the ground for agriculture. Massive amounts of forestland are cleared, plowed, and massive amounts of inorganic NPK inputs are added. This releases enormous amounts of previously entrapped CO2 to the atmosphere.

I really doubt the penalties are harsher in Norway.

> FYI, yes in a acquisition Uber likely assumed all liabilities, but that would also generally exclude liabilities as a result of criminal acts. That's not true at all where the act is done in an official capacity and inures to the

No, it's completely different. Sandbagging a deposition and playing stupid games with discovery is almost standard practice. Judges hate it, opposing counsel complains bitterly, but in a pretrial civil case, out of sight of a jury, jus

Right, it's not like Amazon doesn't have big spend on all of these things for itself.

Am I being a hopeless romantic to imagine that barons of days yore used to actually think owning the capital and employing the labor with which they went about their business made them powerful? Who is holding who hostage? Not everyone is a

As bug #323 points out, truncating floats is an incomplete solution and brings its own problems. The GNU people were not simply being lazy or ignorant, their approach was valid. The "bug" is x87 design, period. And x87 is the past

You said "regardless of whether he is innocent." There is no criminal case or publicly announced investigation. So pleading the 5th every time you are asked a question in litigation is always the winning strategy, in case you end

They lose nothing if the disclosure is, in fact, highly damaging. Which is the obvious point. What we have here is 10 fools going in "But the Constitution" and "Innocent until proven guilty" and "It means nothing.&q

It's not a question of innocent or guilt. You're talking criminal terminology. In the case at bar it's a question of liable or not. If you're sued for a bazillion dollars and you didn't do anything wrong, then sayin

I'd probably have security go through their "personal shit" especially any storage media too, given the background.

And this is not a criminal trial. It is exceedingly rare for a head of a division and the former CEO of an acquired company to plead the 5th in response to litigation demands. Therefore, it looks damning and is damning to Uber's case,

It's often argued that disclosure of the knowledge of the existence and location of the subject of a discovery demand is itself testimonial. Sometimes, a court will partly agree and require accommodations to discovery, such as producti

A lot of people here with their TV law degrees are giving you gibberish answers that pleading the 5th doesn't imply anything. They are wrong. The fifth amendment is only available to avoid testimony that could potentially implicate one
