I've bought many leather wallets in the US even from seemingly upscale places like Nordstrom's. They all kinda fell apart after a few years. I bought a leather wallet in Italy near the Trevi Fountain for roughly the same price almost decade ago and it's by far the best wallet I've ever owned. It's even aged in a nice way.

The policy doesn't say all outside works is banned. It says approval must be sought. Do you have any evidence Inskeep didn't have approval to post on Substack?

>Its application last April said the company had hired 6,939 employees for qualifying jobs, out of 8,000 total positions in Arlington. Amazon’s report this year said it had filled 6,644 qualifying jobs and had 7,791 total employees assigned to HQ2.
>Virginia’s incentives for the company are supposed to reward its progress toward a goal of bringing 25,000 new jobs to Arlington by 2030. They are also structured to ensure that the company maintains those new jobs for at least five years.
They have 6 years to fill ~20,000 jobs. Seems pretty doable once they scale up hiring again.

It's a running joke that Wolfram is a jobs program for math PhD's. The difference isn't necessarily technical, but the sheer amount of labor that has gone into adding more edge cases and niche use cases. Sympy is great but like most open source, it's created by volunteer maintainers supported by donations.
I imagine the difference is even bigger in things like solving ODE's/PDE's.

There's an ongoing insider trading case where an executive at Company A learned that Company A by might acquired. He then bought call options on his closest competitor assuming that the news of Company A being acquired would cause the value of the competitor to also increase.

Where does that dissent say 40% disagreed? It only uses the term majority.

From your own link:
>[Twitter] officials emphasized there was no government involvement in the decision.
>“I am aware of no unlawful collusion with, or direction from, any government agency or political campaign on how Twitter should have handled the Hunter Biden laptop situation,” Baker said in his opening statement. “Even though many disagree with how Twitter handled the Hunter Biden matter, I believe that the public record reveals that my client acted in a manner that was fully consistent with the First Amendment.”
