I'm no Facebook apologist, but Facebook's response seems to (reasonably) point out that Ireland's DPC doesn't appear to be well functioning: > "Facebook was given only three weeks to respond ... [and] wasn’t cont

Most likely, yes. But we don't live in a consequence-free world. Actions have reactions. Is the US playing checkers or chess?

Ah, yes, downvoted without responses. To the downvoters: what would you call a strongly held belief that cannot be supported by documentary evidence; a problem you attribute to a coordinated effort to hide the actors and their intentions? S

Assuming nuclear truly can be ultra safe, how do you convince a public that has seen Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and Fukushima to get on board? Particularly when the "competition" (solar, wind, etc) has such a strong tailwind.

How fairer? If you take a pay cut, but the region to which you re-locate has a substantially lower cost of living, are you not, in effect, getting a raise? Sounds like a win for all parties involved (except the Bay area, of course).

Due diligence can and should be done before investing in any company at any time, public or private. While any discovered fraud on the part of Nikola will be punished by the SEC and law enforcement, investors need to take personal responsi

Conversely, we could treat retail investors like the adults they are. Generally speaking, knee-jerk reaction to create rules and regulations for every problem in society will only lead to further dysfunction, less growth, and permanently lo

To me, BitTorrent feels a lot like Blockchain: interesting tech that doesn't seem to be able to find a practical and useful application (proportionate to the attendant hype). Which is not to say that either can't, they just haven

By this logic, would not Facebook and it's market leadership in social media be a better target?

I am surprised Google is the highest priority. I would've assumed Amazon or Apple would top the list of antitrust targets.

Wasn't this already "attempted" through the natural mechanics of the free market? Social media seems to tend toward monopoly (or at least oligopoly) due to the extreme realization of the network effect in this industry. Here
