I'm trying to figure out if there's a tax advantage to anyone from an RSU + buyback scheme vs straight cash to employees. Seems like it'd be net 0?

I don't care about shareholders here, just their cash burn rate.

So they're not losing any actual cash. How's their FCF?

I didn't realize how sparse coverage was in the West until I moved out here. Once you're 5 minutes off of an interstate outside of a metro area it's pretty common still to have no signal.

this is the general case with all critical systems. Everything from networking to sewers (... not actually that different now that I mention it) to pandemic planning. No one gets credit for the pandemic prevented because the BSL regulations

If J&J ultimately wins this, maybe I should form an LLC to take ownership of my car and house just in case I do something in the future where I have massive liability just so I can pull this stunt.

Yep, that's the pattern. Anything that's successful they spin out almost by default. That makes Philips the company look not so great, but if you merge back in everything that's been spun out they're not doing so bad.

You should be able to turn them off and on 6 times to force them into re-pair mode. I'm not sure if it's part of the Zigbee standard, but every Zigbee light I've had has worked like this.

A good use case for using HEAD instead of GET

This is impossible to respond to without a point to argue against. IM-not-so-HO, I have fantastic understanding of the political system.

Agreed on the general point, but it's undeniable that corporatism has used conservative politics as the means to the end they desire. See also: every culture war, the fact that the only thing Republicans can agree on are court appointe

One of the conservative's legal project over the past 50 years main goals has been to maintain a Borkian consumer harm standard for anti-trust. With the current SCOTUS, I don't see much of a realistic path for this.

The FTC chairperson is a part of the Executive branch, not a judge. It's not her job to be impartial; she's allowed to have a point of view.

This is a good reason for most finance companies to take the middle of the 3 scores.

I see where you're coming from, but on the other hand, the biggest rules are well known and quite simple: If you take a loan and pay it back on time, you'll have high credit. If you fail to meet your obligations, you won't. T

Maybe I misunderstand what was actually down then. It was just the website, not the actual weather reports that ATC has access to?

TIL modulo wrapping for unsigned ints is actually in the standard, I could have sworn it was implementation defined (as opposed to signed wrapping, which is undefined).

And on the platforms where the ADD instruction uses saturated arithmetic I bet assert(UINT32_MAX + 1 == UINT32_MAX) in C passes.

In cases where you're willing to take the perf hit, you can just use languages like Python which abstract over integer size entirely.

>It's unclear to me why our languages still default to modulo arithmetic semantics. Because that's what processors do? (leaving aside backwards compatibility issues)

Can't know until you find out though.

They don't know. If they found out (via a leak, not via doing something explicitly illegal themselves like hacking), they would be allowed to publish the name even with the current court order. Basic 1st amendment precedent.

>Nul ne doit ignorer la loi (no one may be ignorant of the law). Sure, but humans aren't clairvoyant. You can make the effort to look it up, or the road authority can just put up some basic signs.
