It’d be a lot easier to believe if the change didn’t coincide with an incoming administration who has already signaled they’d be looking at anti-competitive practices. Those aligning incentives have an exquisite sense of timing, as it happe

Even if it did, the way we’d find out is a defendant suing the government for their release, and for that case to appeal its way up through the circuits, possibly to the Supreme Court. That appeal process would take years and would probably

There’s no reason to think that Bitcoin is more resistant to rubber hose cryptanalysis than other financial instruments. If a US prosecutor can bring evidence showing that you are in control of a stolen asset, cryptography isn’t going to sa

I assumed this argument was restricted those industries that have 9-5 and weekends & holidays off as the status quo: most b2b and some b2c. I can see how this issue would come up for creatives though. Some jobs have their hours or shift

The only people who expected democrats to defend monopolies because they were ‘friends’ has either a very cynical or naive view of the influence of business on the Democratic Party, and very little historical perspective. Arguments that wou

I can promise you that the major tech companies have no shortage of people in Washington preaching the benefits their companies provide. I wouldn’t say they have less allies than I would say that people don’t use the same rose-tinted glasse

Democrats haven’t been raising 230 regulation though, that’s been republicans disgruntled that their ads had been fact-checked (by partisan conservatives, it turns out). The proposed regulations coming out of the house have been more about

If your concern is limiting the spread of an invasive species to minimize the damage they produce on the environment, then furthering their geographic spread is not a good idea. Coordinated campaigns to clear out entire groups would be good

There was a JRE episode with a coyote expert who touched on this. It was relatively easy to eradicate wolves, because they have a strong pack mentality and will stick together even as members die. Pigs and coyotes would disperse into groups

Texas has a year round open season on board and a lot of hunters, some of whom attach machine guns to helicopters and kill entire groups at a time. Feral hogs are still a scourge in Texas, I doubt that’s because Texas doesn’t have enough hu
