This statement may end up true, but not for the reason he thinks.

It's hard to convince a court to order specific performance, and this is not the sort of case where it's at all likely to happen.

The seller was performing the unnecessary procedures and the practice value was based on that revenue. The buyer was ethical and therefore revenue was lower than expected.

They said millionaires would flee when Massachusetts implemented an income tax surcharge. The amount collected from that tax was in fact more than expected.

If the wealthy in California were willing to give up quality of life to save an amount that's not very meaningful to them, they'd have already moved to Texas. Or North Dakota. Or even Washington, which is an actual small-government state without a personal income tax.

For math classes where the instructor requires you to upload the work I use OneNote on my desktop (copy in the homework problem) and tablet (do the work).

The Speed Editor debuted at $295, so the same as a Resolve Studio license except you got the free keyboard.

Undocumented immigrants "raised local house prices and rents without expanding housing supply" — obviously, since local governments of both parties hate anyone who doesn't already own and make it illegal to build more housing. Not an immigration problem, although obviously the Trump administration is trying to make it more expensive to build by deporting anyone brown regardless of whether or not they're lawfully present (or even a citizen), tariffs, and pretty much the entire scope of Project 2025.

US lawyers keep filing LLM-generated pleadings and refuse to check citations. It's taken state discipline committees a long time to get there, but they're close to figuring out that any option other than prompt disbarment just increases the pain for people who are actually qualified to practice and doesn't noticeably increase the number of practitioners who see the error of their ways.

The ABA will eventually make sure that this behavior is identified in law school and people who don't want to take responsibility for what they file are expelled well before graduation, but in the meantime there are a ton of screwups in the profession and all you can do is kick them when they identify themselves.

It's been common knowledge for a long time. Just not in the population of people who set up agents and hand them personal credentials.

No; if you try to do this you don't launch in the first place because the amount of servers required to be useful can't be cooled within your payload budget.
