The fiduciary duty of the board is to protect the company as an ongoing concern that seeks to increase its enterprise value, and also to protect the interests of shareholders, including minority shareholders.

This is to prevent say a majority shareholder and/or group of employees from raiding the business of its value.

So a case for a poison pill might be well made to prevent a person from taking a controlling stake to then expose the company’s IP (code base) because they have some agenda, or prevent them running the company into the ground by causing a flight of talent, or by breaking some success formula.

That is irrelevant. To show a breach of fiduciary duty with this kind of argument, you would basically have to prove that it is objectively impossible for Twitter stock to be worth more than what Musk offered over some horizon. I very much doubt there has ever been a successful case taking this approach.
As a cyclist, when some driver waves at me to go contrary to the rules, I do something that looks like it's going to take 15 seconds or so like adjusting my helmet, pulling out my phone to check the time, etc. Seems to work with no fuss from the drivers who think they are doing me a favor.
I don't think Dodge v. Ford isn't a great case to cite here for two reasons:
1) I think the trend of accepting that corporations can exist for reasons other than to generate profit is a post-ww2 phenomenon and this case is from 1919
2) Perhaps more importantly, Dodge v. Ford was a case before the Michigan Supreme Court and, to my knowledge, has never been used in a case in Delaware.
The argument is not that is worth more, it is that it can be worth more in the future than Musk offer. No one can predict the future, but it is a legitimate reason to believe it can be worth more than $54 in the future and pointing that it was worth more last year is just an argument for the belief. Which makes sense to me.

As legitimate as it is to believe that the stock price will never again reach $54.

In the case of DK, the hypothesis is that there is a bizarre relation between perceived skill and actual skill. The null hypothesis is that is there no relation or correlation between perceived skill and actual skill.

A researcher would perform an experiment. If researcher observes statistically significant results. Then the researcher can reject the null hypothesis, and say the theory is valid. If researcher does not observe statistically significant results. They can only say their experiment doesn't support the theory.
That does not seem a reasonable exploration - all it means that we'd find female bones more rarely but when we do find them, there would be a whole cluster of them, recovering many specimens at once - it's not like paleontologists stop with "ah, we took one set of bones from here, we'll leave the rest lying around); so the total amount should still be the same.

I'm not saying the "trick" cannot be done. Magicians employ tricks and misdirection in their acts, to great effect.

I've watched magic acts and been awed by them. I'm not a heckler.

I'm just saying, 100% magic acts are misdirection, trickery, confederates, and dexterity. It's "psychology" in the sense they know how to misdirect. The same with mentalism. This doesn't detract from it; if it's fun entertainment, and the mentalist doesn't claim to have actual extraordinary powers of perception (or supernatural powers), then everything is fair and ok to me!

But unnatural "perception" powers, mental powers, etc? Nope. Mentalism is a trick, not some exercise of wondrous mental powers. The latter claim wouldn't pass an Amazing Randi challenge.
If this leads to a shareholder lawsuit, the board may need to argue they had non public information suggesting the stock was undervalued.

At that point, they'll need a good lawyer to explain why Twitter chose to omit that information from their SEC filings.

> Your experience of life, even in the best of times, varies greatly by neighborhood, industry, income level, and more. So I guess what I'm trying to say is, definitely don't buy the CCP propaganda, but equally don't take the (truly grim) videos all over social media as representative of the whole situation. This crisis is unfolding on a bell curve.

In general, isn't this true everywhere? For example, drive by shootings don't happen everywhere. Or even with Covid in the USA, the non-white underserved had more deaths and more hospitalizations. This was mentioned, by always in passing.

I'm not sure about Western governments, but at least in the USA, the media is very good at using emotions to sway perceptions of the actual underlying data / statistics.
Under DE law, my understanding is that you are slightly off on this.

Boards do have a duty to maximize shareholder value. THAT SAID, the business judgement rule provides that judges will not second guess the board absent evidence of gross negligence or total disregard of duty. This is because the Delaware court has decided that judges are not better than boards at evaluating business decisions.

BUT! Overcoming the BJR is very difficult unless management stupidly says the quiet part out loud.

Dodge v. Ford is a celebrated case in this regard because Ford basically said at trial "Yeah my main consideration in taking [specific action] is not maximizing shareholder value" and the judge was like "Haha no, that's not how any of this works - you can't do [specific thing] now." But if Ford was like "Yeah [specific thing] would be GREAT for shareholders" under the BJR the judge would have been like "Okay, great, keep doing what you are doing. How could I possibly know better than you?"

Also there is no "need to do right by the company" - squeezing value out of the company and all of its stakeholders is completely consistent with the duties of the board members. How else would the private equity industry exist? (jk!)
Core part of the article is at the bottom:

> TorrentFreak reached out to DuckDuckGo to discover why these domain names are not showing up in its search results. At the time of publication, we have yet to hear back. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the move is copyright-related, though.

So there isn't anything else known than "domains are delisted".
I'm not complaining about the study methodology. I'm just saying this isn't the right takeaway.

Just because a study is randomized and has a good sample size doesn't automatically prove every hypothesis of the study. You have to actually look at what the data is saying and isn't saying.

And nothing about this data says anything regarding some universal truth regarding the benefits of some universal thing called "health coverage".
According to Say's Law I shouldn't be worried about this. Say's Law predicts a whole other things that aren't observed in reality. As usual, the problem lies in the fact, that employers can overwork overachievers to use as a negotiation weapon against employees that aren't overachievers.

There is a programmer that works 20 hours and spends exactly as much as he earns. That programmer works twice as much and uses the time to automate someone else's job. He still does not spend his money and instead does the work of two people. That second person has now lost his job and income and as the programmer is not spending his money, the second person is utterly dependent on the charity of the programmer as that is the only way to earn the money that is sitting in his bank account doing absolutely nothing.

For employers this situation is very interesting. They have the option of giving 2 jobs to a single person. The second person doesn't have any options, so he will keep bidding his wage lower and lower until the employer prefers hiring him over the programmer.

Without the fsync() before rename(), on system crash, you can end up with the rename having been executed but the data of the new file not yet written to stable storage, losing the data.

ext4 on Linux (since 2009) special-cases rename() when overwriting an existing file so that it works safely even without fsync() (https://lwn.net/Articles/322823/), but that is not guaranteed by all other implementations and filesystems.

The sync() at the end is indeed not needed for the atomicity, it just allows you to know that after its completion the rename will not "roll back" anymore on a crash. IIRC you can also use fsync() on the parent directory to achieve this, avoiding sync() / syncfs().
> DK doesn't mean no correlation, it means inverse correlation

Both are wrong. DK effect describes a weak positive correlation, but weaker than we intuitively expect. The top quartile still estimates their ability better than the bottom - positive correlation. But this is still below their actual ability. The bottom quartile correctly predicts they score worse than the top, but they overestimate their own ability ie they underestimate how much better the top quartile actually performs.
look how much the stock market surged afterward and continues to surge. maybe not so dumb after all. No one really paid for it given that taxes didn't go up. it was paid with 0-2% yielding bonds and then later in 2011 turned a profit. It was not super-wealthy people who benefited from the market surge, even ordinary people with retirement accounts benefited, assuming they did not sell at the bottom.

Sell all of his stock, and call out the execs publicly.
Several unclear things:

First, the filing only mentions that they are contacting 8.2 million customers. It doesn’t confirm that those customers definitely had their data accessed. So it’d be interesting to know what their level of confidence/precaution is there.

> The information in the reports included full name and brokerage account number (this is the unique identification number associated with a customer’s stock activity on Cash App Investing), and for some customers also included brokerage portfolio value, brokerage portfolio holdings and/or stock trading activity for one trading day.

The “some customers” is doing heavy lifting here. If that’s 10%, that’d be enormously damaging, particularly if we’re talking about millions of customers. That information is potentially very dangerous in the wrong hands

Isn’t it still possible for Musk to make a tender offer which then would have to go to a shareholder vote, or for the board to accept (or put to shareholder vote) the offer he did make? The point of the poison pill is that it prevents a certain type of hostile takeover and you may have reasonable opinions about whether or not such clauses are good/should be allowed, but I don’t think they stop takeovers in general, right?
They should, provided transaction fees and gains taxes don’t exceed their estimation of the difference in value times the number of stocks adjusted for the time value of money.

People with more complicated positions should consider covariance and factor in uncertainty. But if you’re a shareholder in a single stock and estimate that it’s overvalued by a significant margin, the rational choice is to sell your position, invest in a low risk, highly liquid asset, and rebuy.

Things are quite different in Europe, where EU interchange is capped at a much lower 0.3% for credit cards and 0.2% for debit cards for most transactions [0]. Despite this, banking fintechs are still thriving, such as Monzo*, N26, and Revolut.

* whilst Monzo is a UK bank, Visa/Mastercard still use the same EU domestic interchange rates in the UK post-Brexit, at least for now.

In California at least new construction is held back by zoning laws and prop 13. A land tax does nothing to fix either of those.
I'd like to know why as well. The inclusion of the fsync before the rename implies to me that the filesystem isn't expected to preserve order between write and rename. It could commit a rename before committing _past_ writes, which could leave your /etc/passwd broken after an outage at a certain time. I can't tell whether that's the case or not from cursory googling (everybody just talks about read-after-write consistency). Maybe it varies by filesystem?

The final sync is just there for durability, not atomicity, like you say.

> it just means that profit must always be considered in any business decision, it can never be entirely ignored in favor of other things.

The word "entirely" is doing a lot of work there.

> The board of a for-profit company has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the company as pertains to profits.

This is a dramatic oversimplification that borders on falsehood, as you noted yourself in your previous paragraph. As a trivial example, the board would be entirely entitled to claim that their goal is very long term profit maximization, and that this will result in decades of losses (effectively Amazon's strategy).

We also now have "Public Benefit Corporation" as a codification of a for-profit corporation that does not have profit as its primary motivation (at least in 35 states & DC), but obviously that does not apply in the case of Twitter.
not really. go ahead and try to convince a stranger to buy a stock. way harder than it sounds, way harder now than 20 years ago.
Any crunching of what numbers? You and I have no idea how many Chinese people have been infected or died of COVID.

As a former bootcamp tutor, senior dev, startup founder and now employer of a former student, the inflated sense of self worth is there but I think it's overstated or overemphasised.

I would say ~30% of my students had some form of higher than realistic expectations of where they would when they finished the course. I made a point of beating that out of them.

But there were very few, maybe only 5% people that really fit your description. But I can remember them very clearly whereas the middle std dev of students I wouldn't recall much of them.

As a cyclist the main reason I treat stop signs as yield signs is because the bicycle tips over if I come to a complete stop. The physics are really optimized to keep going. Clipless pedals really force you to make a decision -- am I going to stop, or am I going to coast through. Maybe this is a poor design for a world where stop signs exist, but that's how it is.

(As an aside, for all of these bridges with instructions like "cyclists dismount", I think we should make car drivers do the same thing. Put in neutral and push it. It's for your own safety!)

The technique I found works well is to edit the file in vim and use the !G (process lines 1-N in shell) (or use emacs in a similar way). Gives you infinite undo and redo until you get the commands right. Then you can view the history and make a shell script like this using sponge.
For example, edit a file, go to line 1 and type:
!Gsort
File is run though sort and results replace the buffer. To undo, use ‘u’, to redo, use CTRL-r.
