"Coming out in trial proceedings and discovery" pretty much gives you the source - read the court documentation. That entity was Melissa Nathan with TAG PR.

It's the cost of a viable and vigorous free press. If it is easier to sue an win a defamation suit, it becomes a powerful tool to stifle reporting. It's also important to people who post on public forums because lowered protection cultured result in expensive court cases for them as well.

In Meta's case, if they actually did it then that may reach the actual malice level, depending on what was said, but IANAL so who knows?

"Generally this isn't true, instead it is stored in large quantities of stock or other assets"

It is still used as a leveraged mechanism with which to purchase things. How the hell do you think they live in big fucking houses and have chauffeurs? Thus it is effectively cash.

And with that cash they buy power, hoard resources, and generally fuck over the human population.

You're absolutely blind to how stock gets used. You're the one trolling, here.

That should tell you right now that if you're involved in this crypto scam crap that you shouldn't be trusting stablecoins as they are by design made to fuck you over at the whim of a centralized authority.

Maybe just RTFA would answer your question:

"It was Bielfeldt’s curiosity about the inner workings of inkjet printers that inspired his winning entry, but capturing the action of ink drops being deposited on paper was a challenge, given that the process happens so quickly. The droplets, for instance, moved faster than the camera’s shutter speed. Bielfeldt’s solution was to deconstruct the printer so that the paper moved under a stationary (rather than moving) printhead, and then take the image in a dark room, using a flash to serve as the shutter, thereby freezing the ink drops mid-air."

I'd go with Nash Equilibrium here. DVORK is not inherently better than QWERTY for typing speed, although it is less prone to causing RSI. The big downside is the learning curve and making shortcuts like Ctrl-V harder to press.

User: The annual report is nit ready because IT forced a software update and it broke the report generation. I tried to warn them but they did it anyway...

It isn't that hard to separate. That's why we developed the cryogenic method in the first place. Hydrogen and fluorine are much harder to keep stored and process.

I want Ludwig Plutonium, AFU, Kibo, Serdar Argjic and the Zumabots, Ted Frank, and Joel Furr vs. The Green Card Lawyers...

Exactly. IT orgs should put defenses in place to catch the majority of fishing emsils, using sender info,AI to recognize patterns etc. You won’t catch everything but can greatly reduce the chan crew s they get through.

Honestly, the employers were the first to start racing for the bottom there. For years they have relied on employees having an outdated sense of loyalty to the company that hasn't reciprocated in decades.

Much of the criticism of GenZ in the workplace is really just them giving to the employer what the employer offers them. Perhaps it's time for government to re-take its essential role in leveling the playing field so new players can enter the market and push the dinosaurs into their richly deserved tar pits.

Id doesn't NECESSARILY debase the social fabric. But if it does things like buying crooked inspectors to overlook sub-standard materials, buying off a zoning board to basically take over a residential area (*cough* datacenters *cough*), pays sub-standard wages under the table to people who 'need' to keep a low profile, and then when something goes wrong, scampers off leaving an impoverished shell behind to go bankrupt so the public has to pay for the clean-up, yes it debases the social fabric.

Only because legal enforcement of corporate charters seems to be dead.

There's lots of VERY profitable drug cartels as well, but I don't think we should celebrate them.

By separating the decision making from the execution, the corporation is the perfect psychopath. The structure not only allows all parties to rationalize their own guilt away, it also protects those who make unconscionable decisions from the legal consequences of their actions. That combination can only ever produce a monster. The LAST thing we need running them is someone educated to break the rules (law) when 'necessary'.

Even from the very beginnings of Capitalism, Smith admonished that corporate charters must be handed out exceedingly sparingly and they must be held strictly to their charters. Also note that all corporate charters are in legal theory supposed to be for the public good. Not just as a nice idea but as one of the mandates. A company acting against the public interest is supposed to be dissolved for violating it's charter. Clearly we have failed in that. Let's not double down on the failure by educating people in the image of the incorporated monster and putting them in charge.

There may be some use to something like the LLC, but there seems to be little economic use for corporate personhood. The only public value of a corporation (if/when it has any) is economic.

Rubbish. Most of them have a ratty couch with the least stained side of the cushions turned up (if they can decide which is least stained).
