Prosecutors have to use RICO to charge execs and board members criminally. This is not going to happen, as long as the revolving door (or a sort of collusion between prosecutors and executives) exists.

Felon, as long as appeal courts don't overturn that felony verdict.

DNC tricked Biden for that earlier debate in order to force out Biden. Prominent Democrats and many media people knew Biden's cognitive decline by then.

Never short based on fundamentals. It takes a lot of tuition fees (losses in the market) to learn that lesson.

That's what Apple was doing. After their settlement with DOJ, Apple posts jobs on their job board as well.

The existential quantifier(∃) and the unique existential quantifier (∃!) of Predicate logic correspond to "a" and "the".

You should better read up research done in the domain of philosophy of sciences. I was not providing a definition of hypothesis. Instead, treat as a hypothesis about hypothesis. Definitions don't settle any dispute, whatsoever, because they just replace one symbol (definiendum) with another set of symbols (definiens).

As long as debts are issued in their own currencies(Japan in Yens, US in dollars, etc) it doesn't cause any problem because people can swap nominal assets aka paper money(say, JPY) for real assets(gold, oil, rice, chips, etc). Only developed countries have this luxury of having 262% or 500% debt-to-GDP ratio.

Third world countries (say, Sudan, India) can print money like Japan and US, but Saudi doesn't to swap their oil with Sudanese pounds. Now you see where this logic is leading to: as long as real asset holders are happy to part with their real assets for dollars/JPY, debt-to-GDP ration can stay 1000% or 10000%.

Exactly this. A hypothesis is postulated to explain phenomena (observations). An adhoc hypothesis is one that explains already-selected facts/observations/phenomena. That's why it is very important for a hypothesis to explain novel facts, solve novel problems. That's why Late Philosopher of Science Larry Lauren made a distinction between confirming instances and positive instances.

How does this whole thing works? Can they use the voucher for anything? When I get a grubhub voucher, I can not use it to purchase tooth paste, toilet paper, etc.

Supporters of Palestinians, especially activists and students on campuses, in the West are not interested in the two-state solution. This position aligns with Arabs, who don't want a Jewish state in the Middle East. Hamas says it directly; others are not so direct, but one can infer their position through their actions.

One can say 'give voice and agency to those who want to make peace with the two-state solution'; then, make peace with these groups. I am not so confident on this adventure. Even the late Prof. Edward Said, who every postcolonial and postmodernist professor and student adore and worship, wanted a bi-national Israeli-Palestinian state, a variety of the one-state solution. Look at some version of a bi/tri-nationalism in the neighboring Lebanon: Hezbollah dictates the Lebanese govt.

Even if Israel gets rid of settlements in the West Bank, even If Israel goes back to pre-1967 borders, the Israel-Palestine conflict will not end. That's because Palestinians want a one-state solution, along with the return of Palestinian refugees, both the first gen and their descendants--and that's the real solution from the Palestinian side. Israel is never going to accept the real Palestinian solution.

Treat human beings or any organisms as biological machines. Here, many chemicals (hormones, for instance) regulate many processes in such machines. Whatever one has eaten so far, genetic history, environment, etc have changed hormones to a level where the model of dieting and working out doesn't work any longer. So, semaglutide and tirzepatide work on such regulatory hormones (GLP-1, GIP). In other words, what this research tells us that humans are not controlled by their personal will.

Produce kids on American soil. These kids can sponsor parents once a kid reaches 18 years of age.

Hezbollah has 20,000 fighters, another 20,000 reservists. 97% of all shias, 35% of all sunnis, 25% of Christians in Lebanon support them for various reasons. Hezbollah is the king maker of Lebanon politics: whoever(esp politicians) goes against Hezbollah in Lebanon will get assassinated.

How many of them are on watch lists? Maybe, 100 to 200. Even the people who are on watch lists travel secretly on middle eastern carriers by using aliases.

How did you deal with such terrifying situations?

US population is 300M, whereas Israel/Switzerland/Netherlands population is about 10M.

These private universities can come with a solution: remove legacy; add a new dimension, let's say X, to evaluate applicants. Hire legacies because they have higher X.

Earlier, I used to get crypto investment scam texts. These days, I get so many SMS messages for scam jobs, even though I am not looking.

This will force Iranians make their own pagers and wallow-talks in the long term. In the short term, hezbollah members are forced to use mobile phones, making easy for Israelis to snoop on.

In India, there is an ancient art called 'avadhAnam'[1][2], where questioners pose various questions to the performer. This performer has to answer questions partially in a verse form, and this can go on for days, if 1000 people are involved. These people have to recite these 1000 verses after everything is over. Performer should not use pen, paper or any recording. These guys memorize many Indian texts that contain verses.

> If you are so inclined, I suggest getting a cert & then hitting the shady indian outfits.

Large companies outsourced to Indian companies like TCS, WIPRO, Infosys, CTS, etc. The latter wants to fill some positions onsite; here, TCS, et al source resumes from these 'shady Indian outfits'.

Also another phenomenon I observed: companies want presence during the US day time, so they outsourced to companies in Brazil and other South American countries. A friend's been out of job for a year, and reached out to an ex-manager at a tech company owned by a PE firm. The manager is willing hire him through the outsourcing company but for South American wages: this company pays $60 per hour to the outsourcing partner, who takes 30% cut. So, that is about $42 per hour on 1099, without any benefits. And this contract gig may last for four months.

Welcome to the new world, where we see three classes of techies: (a) those who work for FAANG and other elite companies/firms (b) those who work for non-elite companies (c) contract work force, whose contracts last for three to six months.

what if chronic unemployment leads to poverty?

So, textbook anatomical pictures are ideal just as ideal gases and point masses are. In the real world, concrete anatomy, concrete gases are different.

Third-party doctrine is a legal way around the 4A: "The third-party doctrine is a United States legal doctrine that holds that people who voluntarily give information to third parties—such as banks, phone companies, internet service providers (ISPs), and e-mail servers—have "no reasonable expectation of privacy" in that information. A lack of privacy protection allows the United States government to obtain information from third parties without a legal warrant and without otherwise complying with the Fourth Amendment prohibition against search and seizure without probable cause and a judicial search warrant."[1]

Realpage is involved in a vicious loop, not a virtuous loop. Even in the Bay Area, corporate landlords jack up rent like 10% every year, whereas small landlords are happy to raise rent by 3%. That's the difference due to algorithmic collusion set and controlled by RealPage.

Humans are biochemical machines. Hormones (chemicals) regulate many systems in humans. So, you want people to eat less and work out more, when hormones, or biochemical subsystems, are messed up?
