I think this may be the most relevant quotation to our contemporary predicament:

"The military escalation had, like all those before it, coincided with an increase in the cost of living for working-class Americans."

Give or take the interest rate holiday.

The Fed simply devalued the dollar to keep the cost of post '73 OPEC crisis oil down.

This sustained heavy and extraordinarily polluting industries in the US until the nineties.

Coincidentally, reducing the influence of unionized labor also reduced the potential for employee health pressures on polluting industries. If I still had the feeds, I'd love to back traces how much this propped up the largest commercial banks and insurance companies who, coincidentally when environmental protection began to matter, did away with the prohibition of gambling with consumer deposits and abolished Glass Steagall, ushering in the last twenty years of economic horror story.

German law forbade the "sale" or combined sale of any good at zero cost, even carrier bags until the turn of this century. Coincidentally or not, they have the Mittelstand high technology SME sector and, until the beginning of this century, a high wage low inequality economy.

>It's just the camera sensor's color space (Adobe RGB)

Sensors don't have a color space. It's a transformation applied in the camera software. Unfortunately no commercially available camera either exposes using the sensor data output itself, leading to often considerable non linearity between the measurable output values and the actual exposure. This is applied to the raw file for exposure and post processing raw conversion. You need to analyse the non de-bayered raw files directly to assess what's happening in the captured data.

Mach more than helped:

"Mach 3 (Figure B.1) moves the BSD code outside of the kernel, leaving a much smaller microkernel. This system implements only basic Mach features in the kernel; all UNIX-specific code has been evicted to run in user-mode servers. Excluding UNIX-specific code from the kernel allows replacement of BSD with another operating system or the simultaneous execution of multiple operating-system interfaces on top of the microkernel. In addition to BSD, user-mode implementations have been developed for DOS, the Macintosh operating system, and OSF/1. This approach has similarities to the virtual-machine concept, but the virtual machine is defined by software (the Mach kernel interface), rather than by hardware."

> There's a rather murky limit on freedom of speech,

I don't believe it's murky at all, but defined deliberately in fuzzy terms in a number of important ways, one of which is the avoidance of precipitation of criminality. Criminality defined as that which is harmful to society. Although it may sound weak, compared to the presumed unfettered principles invoked above, should one or other of a separating couple used Tornado Cash to rinse common property funds, something that isn't drug dealing or terrorism anyhow, nevertheless it's laundering and using a device to commit a crime without which device that crime may not be possible. Federal proceedings against Tornado Cash have given the unlawful enterprise unprecedented profile and it follows that the motivation for anyone who strives for continuance of the same or similar, in light of the reasons for federal action, could be construed as being potential criminal too. Frankly I am stunned in the era that recognizes hate speech, that the automatic right to unfiltered and inconsequential freedom of speech is claimed so crudely, so reflexively and on such narrow and unexplained grounds..

That's because each of the several hundred billions of pounds of greenfield government software programmes is a slapdash crud forms exercise bugger the millions of man years of development by the original experts despite there's little to change in the vast majority of diagnostic pathways. In fact the Reed Codes which resulted from a immense pan European study of two decades length and became canon in ca 1988 remain canonical the only programming work involved in new processes being parsing these together with inserting a myriad of OR impedence where new forms of graft are inserted. We've just switched off national critical systems of civic function across the board over the past few years. Probate about the most egregious example the replacement system containing a mere handful out of the estimated twenty thousand expert legal assessment rules at inception. Manual operations the only alternative for at least two years that I was paying attention.

This was such a phenomenon in the seventies that by the time Yes Minister was broadcast the joke was a running ironic theme that met with deflated apathy:

> Wow, what a deceptive clickbait title! Should read "FDIC tells FTX US to delete a tweet".

(I've restructured this comment removing only a tangential illustration of shareholders liability, adding only to make my meaning clear from the beginning)

Prior to which you argue that the subsidiary is regulated as a commodities trading house. If so, CFTC is likely to promptly suspend them after digesting this FDIC enforcement action.

You appeal to the reputation implied of a known historical entity and or management and dismiss the enforcement action against the combined post acquisition entity as trivia. This is a circular conflagration as disingenuous as the offending misrepresentation of Federal guarantees. I'm suspicious of what connection you may have to this company and thinking your comments may be construed as flagrant obstruction the enforcement of Federal law through persistence with the estopped activities. If you are associated in any way but spoke independently, I think this one is really worth sitting out. For a start FDIC account protection is provided to individuals via FDIC insured banks and can't be parlayed by any broker. FDX referring to individual and or separate insured deposits I'm expecting to give rise to charges of interstate fraud at least. The targets of current enforcement are almost certainly intended to establish case law to enable sweeping enforcement and punishment I think I'm going to say is expected this time, through lower courts.

(Continues unchanged)

The usual resulting status of a any company acquired is "wholly controlled subsidiary" , and bar special classes of shares outstanding accounts and corporate governance arising from the parent holding majority voting rights prevails over any surviving minority shareholders or board member votes. It's theoretically possible for a acquirer to overlook the perfunctory resignation of the board and end up having to use company law and call for a EGM to vote on the termination of incumbent recalcitrant directors, but hardly likely anyone in the farthest reaches of M&A would have so little oversight of catastrophic professional liability.

In plain English there's no separation nor distinction between a subsidiary and its parent.

You could invent intricate arms length contrivances and claim independent operations, but unless each corporate entity has clearly independent capital structure, claims of independence are liable to be interpreted as fraudulent in English or judicial evaluation. Multinationals using offshore treasury vehicles use companies limited by guarantee and partnerships for avoidance of this category of responsibility.

The FDIC and other comments make it easier to see that the problem is widespread. Otherwise the FDIC wouldn't need so much boilerplate putting the onus on the respondent to deliver complete record of all misleading and unlawful communication.

Edited: replaced "guaranteed by share capital" with "limited by guarantee".

I have a hypothesis about this phenomenon of the software house monopolies, which is that wherever consistency of human interaction is beneficial, you get large concentrations of development, for reasons of human computer interaction being difficult and operating consistency and communication of skills network effects are created as a function of intrinsic human values propagation. Conceal the interface from direct user manipulation or the necessity for interaction for function, and individual or very small groups of artisans can be effective in extreme scale as is the case with much internet infrastructure and the Linux kernel. In the example of concentration of large development investment I'm thinking about, which is Microsoft Office, both kinds of network effects have been used to control and conflate different desires of monopoly, charades of open document formats and email protocol implementation (in this case the documentation is very good, practice however..) dancing between the lines of simpler competition and initiatives. Although the argument I'm effectively making turns out rather familiar to anyone who thinks of the turn of century software economy, I'm trying to replace economic theory with a suggestion that it's important to think about user applications for critical new infrastructure and protocols that can be developed simultaneously at comparable velocity alongside supportive infrastructure, instead of declaring standards and protocols that are left to capital markets to realize as products. Imagine if TBL had written a book recommendation and bartering spec as a backup for the paperless proposition of hypertext?

Edit: fixed autocomplete error, removed "even" from last sentence.

I can see valid reasons to delete a inaccurate and misleading statement, but this requires substitution with a link to the archived message and a public statutory countdown to a seven days grace period before any misleading public servant either publishes a formal explanation for their errant communication or is automatically forfeit the mechanism of their office. Possibly the forfeit could be incrementally enforced for graded infractions, but given the gaming culture in every reach of human responsibility I think it should be a simple and clear cut off.

Lynn Nichols' The Rape of Europa may be the definitive non expert introduction to this subject:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rape_of_Europa_(book)

There's a well reported 2007 documentary upon the book about which I was unaware:

https://www.pbs.org/therapeofeuropa/

Published in 1994 any perceived fault of omission almost certainly should be attributed to the ca. '91-'93 thawing of Soviet era Russian archives which naturally include canonical seized evidence from occupied and overrun territory. This was a very brief window of opportunity for study before the doors closed permanently again, making investigations into thema prioritized over forensic exactitude. Unavailability but theoretical existence of probative evidence reinterred by Moscow hasn't been ignored by dealers in arguments in every conceivable way. (My late business partner dealt in antiquities from the late sixties until the end of the eighties although nothing of European provenance or at least knowingly tainted by this era)

Edit: thema not themselves, on mobile sorry

The problem starts with the time between patent award and regulatory approval limiting the commercial exclusivity. This has driven big pharma to patent manufacturing processes instead of the compounds. If I understand it correctly from memory the Ritalin availability crisis was a example of process patent reengineering.

Edit: was not is.

This is very old hat. A friend battled the old British Telecom, after Deutsche Telekom (the rest crumbled after that) to publish Telex businesses directories a whole couple of generations ago.

Copyright laws protect the structure and occasionally(via trade dress usually) formatting of your data. But common sense informs this entire oeuvre of issues that if the utility of the information that you are working with is inherently extant ion openness then the judiciary will politely post you a clue and the check. Utility forms a considerable amount of legal doctrine in so called intellectual property(which is a fallacious misnomer introduced into the lexicon purely for purely self serving reasons only very recently). Infringing a unused order poorly exploited patent and the registration owner sues? No fear because you're going to have to pay fair royalties and be allowed to carry on unless you been some kinda jerk. This is all about the appropriation of the basic infrastructure for human life. Yet the amount of misunderstood and very elementary (Googleable) law passing debate without comprehension is much more frightening than this moot threat, it indicates nearly complete cooption of principal values of human development.

>That feels like a decent trade off to me comparing years of life lost from liver cancer to time spent scraping scrambled eggs off of pans.

Are you sure you meant that just how it reads like? I mean your life isn't something I want you trading for a while scraping your frying pan. Please forgive my impertinence, but if you're so down on your own value I can't help but stop and ask.[edit] ask if you're ok?

In the UK arrest is lawful simply to ensure that your statement or interview can be obtained, entirely without any kind of suspicion. Still will disqualify you for automatic entry in the US however.
