I think it's just something that Jack Welch at GE said so many times while making so much money that people started to believe it / wanted it to be true. I'd be happy to hear other stories about why this nonsense arose.

Generally speaking, there are two fiduciary duties of the officer: do not usurp corporate opportunities and do not act without information.

Your second question is not relevant because you do not have to be the majority shareholder to initiate such an action.

I dunno. If I woke up on a battlefield the first thing I’d probably do is poke my head up to figure out what’s going on and doubtless, I’d be immediately killed.

Americas Army was the most intuitive game I ever played.

No, not all code is constitutionally protected free speech. Generally speaking, code can be considered speech, but it can also be considered defamation, a munition that could not be exported, a dangerous device that a convicted person could not possess, or a number of other Very Bad Things that could get a fella in a jam.

Look to Universal Studios v. Corley for an example of code (speech) that is nonetheless not free, because the government has an interest and can regulate subject to intermediate scrutiny.

> Truly I dare someone to try to take me to court over this. Would be great publicity for our coercion resistant approach.

IANYL but that’s commendable. Ain’t a lot of people got a code to live by anymore. But it’s double the reason you should touch base with an attorney. Remember this: test cases have to know what they’re testing. If you want to move the law forward you have to break it correctly.

> The latter is legitimate, isn't it?

No, arresting people for crimes they haven’t committed is horrifying and bizarre.

> This is why restrictive zoning rules are very bad.

Of course, one reason that they are very good is so that you can avoid living in hell. It's a balance.

"When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’re doing."

Anyway good luck

I’m not. Maybe you’re just sick.

> None of those let a random person Hawk Tuah their way to reaching millions.

That's not great. That's hideous.

If you can climb inside the sensorium of a hot assassin and feel it in your mind when she pinches her nipple, what is the point of an iPhone?

The people in that world moved pretty far beyond cellphones in a couple hundred years, and that’s okay. I’m sure you’ve noticed there aren’t a lot of phone booths around anymore…

What controlled the roll axis? Why were ailerons invented? Was wing warping patented by the Wrights?

> In fact it is kind of stupid to insist someone slavishly draw something by hand

I believe they used to call that "art."

> you might be leading a pretty sheltered life.

Or (and stick with me here) you might be normal.

The act, really; the codified statutory law is an artifact built on top of the various acts passed into law.

Uh,

Apparently not?

“plat map”

That’s how it works in the US too. We don’t record documents with the county recorder to make them official, we do so to provide notice to third parties who might purchase the land.

Recorded deed will more or less universally contain a legal description of the land. This does, in fact, defined the illegal outline of the parcel.

A survey is little more than marching out into the field and putting at the location where you believe the boundaries to be based on your review of the legal description.

Of course that’s not the end of the discussion as to boundaries for reasons like adverse possession or busted titles but on his own a surveyor is going to tell you basically nothing.

Generally, those markers are placed by the person who did the previous survey. They’re not really official designations of anything. However, if you look around, you will find things called survey monuments. Sometimes they’re embedded in the sidewalk, or the middle of the road. Out in the boonies sometimes there’s a little concrete pedestal that has the marker on it. Anytime you look at a recorded deed you will see a legal description of the land and generally that description will start from one of those monuments.

> I have never seen any system (planes or elsewhere) that splits multiple voice communication inputs so you hear different streams in different ears.

PS Engineering PMA450B is one, but most GA aircraft I’ve flown work like this.

> How would that be different

It would be different based on the fact you’d hear one conversation in your left ear, and another in your right ear.

Beauty is in the ear of the beholder.

Different brains function differently.

Software providers generally lack a duty to their clients to create and sell secure software. Further, generally, when you get hacked, there is only an interrupted causal chain between the software and your loss. Interrupting that chain is the intervening superseding cause of a criminal third-party. Finally, no states allow punitive damages, absent gross negligence in a software context.

An internet drama for everyone, I guess.

Kind of seems rude not to just direct GP to AvE, no?

I assume you’re not familiar with boosters, or you would know EvE is drug wars in space.

“spreader bar”

Your post is like a denim jacket.

(Seems like maybe that’s not the point of an analogy).

Country recorder has a list of judgements against people and entities found to be in breach of contract. This is what exists but probably not what you were thinking of.
