I think the assumption arises from the flawed premise that everyone who does some difficult activity is (1) automatically entitled to economic renumeration AND (2) entitled to a government bestowed monopoly. The fact is none of those "

Sure, I was not commenting on the deal per se, but that specific argument to compare Alphabet P/E with Wiz revenue multiple of Alphabet is a deeply flawed one, and is all too common among non-finance people.

P/E is the earnings multiple, not revenue. Your assuming high margins is doing a lot of legwork here. Often untrue for growing startups.

I think the alien is still protected under First Amendment in the sense that you cannot criminally charge him of a crime. It simply has a consequence as outlined in the context of INA, losing a benefit that is obviously not applicable to t

I guess whether it is sad (chilling effect) or exciting (prevents abuse of paradox of tolerance) depends on your perspective on the particular issue, but the principle here is a non-citizen is a non-citizen. They should not get other ideas.

The buck stops with AG for the procedural requirements, but you can certainly sue the AG after the decision has been made in (regular) court. For many of those classes the burden of proof is low if AG wants to deport them. Basically if Sec

Since the administration specifically brought up "Department of State" as one of the entities that helped with the effort, my guess is the action is founded on this specific statue, not the "terrorist support" piece in p

Perhaps they won't even need to work backwards: their implementation claims to support NT syscalls for 95! Just deploy ReactOS then.

Yea, I don't disagree it is a decent product. I was just refuting the "extremely popular" comment. Statistically their market share is minimal. People still by-and-large buy Microsoft Windows laptops.

When you measure Socialist ideals and call it "happiness" you get paradoxical results. Ignore the US; keep believing that Sweden is happier than Spain :) They should really call it something like "World ESG Index."

Regardless of how McCarthyism is antagonized under post Cold War era, it is not at all clear to me that such crackdowns wouldn't have been essential in ensuring the culture war is not lost to the Soviet Union.

Your conclusion is correct but to be clear the memory is not "fused." It's soldered close to the main processor. Not even a Package-on-Package (two story) configuration. See photo without heatspreader here: https:/&#x2F
