Do you have any idea how hard it is to make ends meet on a one-time 165 million dollar payout? Because the CEO will be toxic if he resigns over this, he'll never work for more than maybe 10 million a year again.
I don't see what aspect of his claim was irrational. That's the reality of public places these days, and frankly it was that bad when the economy was in good shape, I dread seeing what it will be like in a year or two.
What do you do when the hooligans wont share the park? (For example, if you came to play frisbee, and a soccer game is occupying the full field). This happens all the time in countries that build parks instead of lawns.
That's just not the way the courts are interpreting patent law today. See just about any recent court case on a patent, the idea-holder busts someone using the same idea in a new implementation.
Patents cover ideas, not implementations. Rewriting the code with the same idea still violates the patent. Rewriting would allow you (maybe, depending on how you rewrite) to avoid a copyright violation claim. But for patents, you are busted no matter what you do if you use the same idea/mechanism as the patent holder. Again, they have power over the invention's premise, not its specific implementation.
The code is also protected by copyright, which is the real opposite of public domain, and lasts basically forever. The idea is no longer protected by patent, so you can now make your own, clean-room implementation of the idea without violating the patent.
Currently, 30% of mortgages are underwater, seriously impeding our economy as talented employees are largely unable to relocate. Double the housing prices through inflation, and 0% are underwater.
It's the best solution to our problems, unfortunately. Defaulting rather than devaluing spreads the pain rather unfairly. Devaluing hits all debt holders equally percentage wise.
Also, it resolves the housing crisis, which would be great for helping the economy overall.
I don't think you need to hit every city to destroy humanity. Just lift enough dust and put out enough radioactives to make the food supply nonexistent for 10 years.

I'm pretty sure that's a fetish category, so you may be in luck.
Why do people fear their neighbors so much that they need to put as much space between them as possible?
Experience.

In what way did it prove overly simplistic? For anyone who isn't an astronomer, in what way is that not a sufficient description of what happens?
Then the precision of their rendering is limited by the precision of the representation, and most of that rendering effort is wasted.
So they're storing more than one atom per bit of computer memory. Awesome!

I think you misread the ask. He asked how he could avoid tripping over other patents, which might have been issued later.
Would rewriting the code keep me from violating any other patents that the author might have regarding the use of such an algorithm?

I was comparing individual creditors, vs creditors as a whole.
Does nothing for the existing debt, which is a huge problem. Inflation erases the debt.
Platinum is actually what the law requires quite specifically, so tin, lead etc are out of the question for this purpose.

How about we wait for the NASA data, I guess I can trust that.
Because government funded scientists are immune to political pressure?
But 4 or more wrongs make a Republican.

I'm not, but you don't have to be a lawyer to be able to understand easily defined concepts.

Feel free to provide documentation if you think you can prove I'm wrong. Of course you can't.
Please go read the Sherman Act, it says nothing like what you think it does. Here's the wiki page, with links to the actual text.

The anti competition laws apply only to monopolies. So you're not disobeying until you hold a monopoly position.
