I dont think Spotify cares about the 0.1% of users that bring their own MP3s. It's a shrinking market. The growth is all the people who never even heard of an EmPeaThree.

I think back when I ripped my 350+ CDs to FLAC. In retrospect, it wasn't worth it.

National Sales Tax - tax the purchase of goods at services. Then it doesn't matter where the corporation has their HQ. No import tax needed.

I'm guessing the NVDA part was a joke.

In 2009, NVDA was around $10. It is trading 40x, over $400.

He's not making a mathematical definition of the areas. 'area' or 'box' is a simple description that everyone can understand. And the map projection used does form squares.

Sure, China did some bad things and shares some blame. That said, we did figure out China was lying in January, but did nothing nothing for the next six weeks (besides an ineffective travel "ban"). We have some culpability as well.

If a company is too big to let fail, it's too big. We should have blocked any mergers or acquisitions that made Boeing larger.

For now, give them a loan, as much as they need, interest free for 10 years. No more bonuses nor stock buybacks until the loan has been repaid.

Per the article:

He saw his PCP same day, they examined him, but said he should go to the ER.

Agreed, the app was a stupid idea.

The backup plan was to call in. However, they only had 12 callers ready to take calls, for ~1800 precincts. At 3 minutes per call, that is 7+ hours to call in the results.

This is a state law, not federal. Iowa state law has no standing over other states. If the DNC decides Nevada would be first, what options does Iowa have?

Iowa cannot enforce that law outside of Iowa.
