There are rules. Networks have entire departments called Standards and Practices. But only because broadcasters don't pay for spectrum. Cable has laxer rules and almost none on anything streaming.

Across all of these, if any government or pseudo government body attempts to restrict advertising because of the content, they will get sued. Any advertiser making materially false claims will likewise also get sued.

The down votes really reflect the groupthink here. American implementation of 1A is not perfect - tyrants still get around to suppressing speech they dislike.

But it's so much better than these alternatives.

Start by calling (or visiting the area office of) your senator and congressman. If you are reasonably articulate, they engage and listen. Doesn't matter if the listener is not a techie; they will ask questions around policy and why it affects constituents.

This is 1000x more useful than online petitions or other passive stuff. Politicians know that one person to have taken the effort to do this, means 1000 others are feeling the same thing but are quiet.

> There is no technical or economic reason to want coal power today.

A quick look at the PJM interconnect data would disagree with you. About a quarter of the live power is coal.

That serves 65+ Million people in the north east and is keeping them from dying of cold this past week, including today (Temp outside in the mid-hudson valley is 15F / -9C), and overnight will be 8F / -13C).

Just for context - electricity somehow powers everything in most homes. Your oil or propane furnace needs a power hookup to ignite.

There's also the unfortunate stick of a much larger parking ticket that is even more trouble to contest.

A combo of your IP, browser fingerprint plus the fact that you logged in somewhere and that links to your actual name etc. Identify you in isolation is not very useful. It's connecting that identity to another place that's valuable.

China, Russia are not members of the ICC for the same reason the US is not. They do not want extra territorial entities applying laws to their citizens and soldiers.

Of course they can. Good luck trying to serve and execute that warrant though.

And non ICC countries are squarely within their rights to retailiate. Most minor former colonies of the EU countries can't, but the US, China, Russia can.

TLDR: he's a member of the ICC. Issues warrants against Israeli political leaders. Neither Israel nor the USA (nor China, Russia, India) are parties to the international conventions that formed the ICC.

He's being sanctioned as a result by the USA, which flowed down to US companies who must follow US law.

Sometimes, a visible example does that. I know of numerous people in Mumbai who do servant jobs, whose kids have gone to engineering schools and gotten corporate jobs. This sort of story - 1st in my family to go college - needs to be prominent for a parent to want to aspire to that for their kids.

Doesn't work for the absolutely destitute of course.

That's what the court is for. Weighing the different arguments and applying precedents

There's a very nice video from Mustard about the Airbus story.

Down the rabbit hole we go.

The MTA operates in more than just NYC, and the governor controls it.

They raised ticket prices a few weeks ago, fwiw. He has a bully pulpit, but that's about it.

If you buy a PUT, you pay the premium. You'll lose that if your option expires out of the money.

If you sell a PUT, your exposure is much greater; you're the one who has to pay up if the option ends up in the money.

The deadline is the date of the option.

If you do lose money, it's a capital loss (tax benefit) and vice versa for capital gains.

Everything is AI now. Magic fairy dust.

Not quite. If a company is buying back shares, management believes stock is undervalued. The reverse is paying for real assets with stock.

Some of this is paying for barely useful assets using inflated stock, or with cash borrowed with inflated stock as collateral for the cash.

This is just one example of the logical end state of grossly over prioritizing capital over labor in the economy.

The "in violation of Federal Law" is crucial. You can argue it's only there to cover the admin's ass, but Federal Law (the actual statues) already prohibits any favoritism or discrimination on the basis of skin color etc.

The prior admin made it so that their chosen DEI programs fit "Federal Law". This admin has done a complete 180. Courts haven't tested any of this yet. It's all a hammer being wielded by the side in power.

This. The quotes I got for a single 2 ton heat pump with a oil backup ranged from $15K to $45K.

It's insane and really made me look into the DIY installs. Even if I broke 2 of those it would still be cheaper than one professional one.

Solar install is another scam. All those companies want to steer you into a PPA rather than let you buy panels.

Haha... an inverse Cramer.

Easy, quick sandbox.

It actually might. Older code running in production is almost automatically regression tested with each new fix. It might not be pretty, but it's definitely more reliable for solving real problems.

Sorta. The reason to go thru insurance is to count the money paid against your deductible. If you pay cash outside insurance, it doesn't.

And if you have an HSA, you have a high deductible plan.

Bingo. There's little to no employment creation here besides some temporary construction jobs. I hope these governors cry foul.

Any reason to believe Google's unit economics on AI are any different than the other players here?

And Google is an advertising company. Mostly in search, and increasingly dependent on YouTube. Everything else is a net money loser, including Waymo, Gemini etc.

The VPPA very much applies to online entities. Netflix can collect all the info it wants about you, but is very much limited in what it can share with external parties.

If anything, the law has given cover to shady walled garden business practices that would not have survived otherwise.

Does Exxon stop you from pumping gas because they dislike the repair shop you used? There's a reason salvage titles exist and are regulated by the DMV and police. Tesla has no business being a middleman here and quite frankly some form of public accomodation laws should apply.

While true, this is the devil's bargain we have struck in 2008. Big banks betting on RMBSs got a bailout and removed the moral hazard there. People with mortgages rightfully revolted and this FEMA scheme is one of the ways in which money is being filed out.

It all needs to be unwound. How, is unclear.

Clean cap table is quite valuable.
