The Sherman Antitrust Act specifically provides individuals harmed by a monopoly a cause of action to sue in federal court.

Trees can also provide soil stability. It’s possible that bulk razing this plot has turned it into a liquefaction zone.

You seem intent on arguing that enforcement of this cannot possibly matter. That kind of defeatism often wins Internet brownie points, but is not a useful way of actually being an effective force for change in the world.

Even if Google abandons the site and refuses to pay a fine, they’ll have lost all the money they have invested in site surveys, contracts, labor… even the delays alone of making them fulfill the EIS cost them money, not to mention whatever opportunity cost they were trying to minimize by flouting the environmental regulations.
Google is already feeling pain from this.

If Finland prohibits them from continuing construction, they don’t get the data center they want, and they have to start over somewhere else.

Is the question whether multiple base classes are part of Python’s spec, or if the ability to assign to `__class__` is part of the spec?

It’s the main line, and Toledo is near Madrid.

Bah, too late to edit but I meant work-for-hire laws, not right-to-work laws.

Sorry, you are correct and that is what I meant. The fact that it’s believed to have been spoken on the same land since before Indo-European languages arrived in Europe is what makes it so fascinating to me.

Meaningless to the investors, including employees with vested RSUs. They got bought out at $54.20, way above the soon-to-become market value.
It was meaningless to Musk for all of about a week, when he came off his ketamine binge and realized what a stupid offer he’d made. But it was a done deal by that point.
According to Reddit[0], it might not have been meaningless to employees with unvested RSUs. They lacked an acceleration clause, so instead of immediately becoming 100% vested at $54.20, the schedule remained intact with a cash payout instead of stock. If the cash payout was relative to current company value, then it was a massive hit.

I sadly don’t have anything personal to add on the specific topic of Basque cuisine, but I want to encourage any Indo-European language speaker who even marginally enjoys language to read up on the situation of Basque language (Euskara). It is a language isolate, and the only extant language in mainland Europe that does not descend from Proto-Indo-European. The Basque language survived in the sliver of land at the fringes of the Roman and Moorish conquests.

No, Musk designed an offer that forced the board to sell to uphold its fiduciary duty to shareholders. (And then famously got cold feet about it, but it was so well-designed that he couldn’t shirk it.)
The valuation crashing back to reality after going private, and therefore being measured by its intrinsic worth rather than whatever the latest trader paid for a share of it, was an inevitable but meaningless consequence.

There is plenty of room for uncertainty where promissory estoppel and right-to-work laws intersect.

You cannot rely on the model to never make mistakes. You need deterministic controls around the model. I believe that’s what the article’s authors are selling.
Though Anthropic is claiming that the compromised package was published solely to Cursor’s marketplace, not not Microsoft’s.
