This problem becomes even more asinine when you consider that the whole point of the Return to Office drive is the "Magic Hallway Conversation" that happens during those informal break time periods.

That is what they're doing though.

This is a great example of the Gish Gallop in action.

It solves the prisoner's dilemma problem. If my rival doesn't protect workers, he can finish jobs cheaper and then put me out of business, etc

Wait until all of the fish's friends chained up in a cave hear about this!

They really want a clear separation of church and state.

Normally, when these kinds of laws or rules are created, it is with the intention to be solely utilized by the Christian faith.

While the same approach could be done with Judiasm or Islam, invoking Satanism is a much clearer signal for Christians. "Why is the school promoting Satan?" becomes a leading question to start the discussion that maybe government shouldn't advocate or promote any religion.

Do you mean 500 million and 1.4 billion people?

I guess that since Epic owns Unreal Engine that bad news for Epic means good news for Godot?

I don't think that Epic is going to want to divest from Unreal considering how much money it makes.

I also don't think that it's a zero-sum game. As a developer I want Unreal (and Unity) to be great so it creates more competition. Unreal has led the way in a lot of cool gaming tech that Godot is picking up.

I don't understand. Isn't the way not to be suspected of perjury just not to lie to the court in the first place? It doesn't seem like extortion to me.

I think this was due to the conflict of interest by the old lawyer, who probably told this witness, "Just say you didn't see anything or don't remember and you'll be fine."

It turned out it wasn't fine and the guy found a new lawyer. This new lawyer is being a zealous advocate and trying to keep this guy out of jail.

Things like this always make me wonder if a state could legally turn into a dictatorship.

Could Florida legally change it's constitution to say "All governing power rests entirely in Ron DeSantis" and dissolve it's representative bodies? Obviously it would still be beholden to voters for national elections (representatives and senators), but statewide there could be nothing.

There's a LegalEagle video which sums it up: Trump's Bombshell Federal Document Indictment

Essentially,

  • Trump took classified information during his time as president and failed to return them
  • When asked to return them he failed to comply until forced
  • When forced to comply, he still kept many documents the government knew were missing and lied to the government and his lawyers indicating that they were returned
  • Was caught on tape admitting that he knew they were classified and that it was wrong for him to have them

The first bullet point apparently happens often (Biden, Pence, Hillary have all done similarly in the past). Trump is singular in that he didn't readily comply with the request for the return of documents and the consequent lies to the government (also illegal).

Make your code as simple and brainless as possible.

The vast majority of time spent working with code will be debugging or reading other people's code, so if you write something incredibly clever, you're just making the next person's job (who could be you in 6 months) harder.
