Why not hire more judges?

Intel also aims to make products that are directed towards the end-user and the company’s partners

Who were they making stuff for before?

Well, that and the companies doing it are also a litigious scourge on traditional farmers, and are responsible for causing cancer in conventional farm workers, and are suspected to be the ones responsible for the increase in food allergies.

A hammer is just a tool. They can be used to do a lot of good, potentially. But, if in practice the only thing that hammers ever really got used for is assaulting people, then it might be reasonable for people to give hammers & their manufacturers a bit of side eye.

The eggs are from these flappy guys:

Sounds like an improvement over trying to communicate past a language barrier and accents so thick that the actively-hostile human CSR is neigh unintelligible.

Verizon customer service has been terrible for many years, and somehow their business to business service is even worse than residential.

Fox “News” and their malicious swarms of disinformation spreaders are concerned about losing their monopoly.

you can add “–cookies-from-browser firefox” or whatever browser you use, to the end of the yt-dlp target

A dozen, a hundred, there’s no way to tell.

The Mudroch propaganda machine has been operating in U.K. for a long time already. The disease is more advanced than this post suggests.

When billionaires use those agglomerations of capital to manipulate markets and engage in other types of anti-competitive practices, it turns a free market into a captured market.

Anti-monopoly regulation & enforcement is required to maintain a market’s freedom.

MISSION OBJECTIVE: Shoot a hole into the Moon.

Most rare‑earth ore occurs as a geochemical stew, so producers must grind, acid‑leach, and solvent‑wash huge volumes of rock before they bottle a kilogram of oxide. The solvents themselves are toxic; the tailings ponds can leach heavy metals; and any thorium or uranium hitch‑hikers raise radioactivity concerns.

Open‑pit mines also chew through landscapes, consume prodigious energy, and disrupt local water tables. In short, the elements may not be geologically rare, but clean, socially acceptable production sites are. That scarcity, not crustal abundance, keeps supply tight and prices volatile.

That’s an excellent point.

I don’t really know what the launch detection sensors’ capabilities are. However, there’s probably a detectably different spectrographic signature from solid fuel rockets like ICBMs versus Neutron’s methalox.

What energy company is a natural monopoly?

edit: are you talking about utilities that produce and distribute energy, or the companies that provide fuel for them? Because a case can be made for mining operations like Exxon & etc to be subject to market competition, whereas natural monopolies like your local electric utility should be publicly owned, i.e. owned by the government, and not have ownership shares traded privately or in public markets.

Its inefficient for natural monopolies to not be owned by the government. Privatization increases cost and decreases quality of service.
