MAD still works even with hypersonic weapons guys. Russia is showing them off to build national pride, not as a serious use case. Putin isn't stupid, he know if he ever used one offensively, especially with a nuclear payload of any size, poo poo would roll downhill fast. And decapitating attacks are largely useless due to how the chain of command works, that's just Clancy stuff.

If AMI dares to follow through now, Bezos will probably be purchasing them for pennies on the dollar by the end of the year.

Vasudus posted:I don't really know what they thought would happen. You're going to try and extort one of the richest people on the planet for...what? Amazon isn't gonna drop in value over this. Bezos could die today and the stock price might temporarily dip 15%. And ironically, Bezos took the right action here: He looks innocent in this and they appear to be blackmailing someone to get his newspaper off their case. Its worth noting this likely violates the Non-Prosecution agreement they made with SDNY over the Trump/Saudi issues. And at this point: They are left holding the loving bag, they can't release the photos as threatened without bringing down even more legal thunder, and they risk severe legal consequences if they hinder SDNYs ongoing investigation into them.

DoktorLoken posted:Does this cross the legal threshold for extortion/blackmail or is it just of extremely low taste/morals? They demanded that his paper stop investigating their firm or they'd release photos of his junk. Its blackmail/extortion. It wouldn't be if they just released the photos, which is their right. They chose to try to use them as a bargaining chip to stop a newspaper from investigating them by threatening their CEO.

Vasudus posted:I think the only real relevance this has is on his divorce proceedings, allegedly. It's been awhile since that was discussed because my concept of linear time is breaking down due to unhealthy exposure to TRUMP. They benefit from Bezo's statement over his newspaper's investigation into them. And yes, it does possibly harm his divorce proceedings. So AMI would benefit from the actions they requested from Bezos.

Best Friends posted:To be fair to that horrible weirdo, the popular imagination, left right and center, vastly overestimates the intelligence and foresight of banks. Its actually kind of weird: Banks know beachfront is high risk in the future. But they don't care: Average 30 year mortgage lasts 7-10 years before they go bankrupt or sell. Also, banks still get the money if you can't insure the property, and insurance companies are the ones who really bite you here, because unless you are willing to pay a VERY high rate, you won't get your home insurance for beachfront.

Jarmak posted:That's not how government funding into Pharmaceutical research works at all, which mostly goes to the basic science and target research, the R&D to develop the drugs themselves is done overwhelmingly by the drug companies. No. Most R&D is still funded by government grants, even when done internally at a for-profit. And most of those government grants require the research to be made public, but more often than not its kept secret. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK50972/ NIH and DARPA frequently fund drug and treatment research that is patented and sold at a hefty cost.

And that's JUST the NIH. So, no, I'll contend that Government funding still makes up a large portion. And I'm still willing to bet that NIH spending cuts are Republican driven. gently caress private pharmaceutical companies. Especially in the day and age where people are getting so desperate due to skyrocketing medical and drug costs, that they are rationing insulin.

Jarmak posted:Yup "we should put more money into developing more cures for diseases" <-- unethical bad faith corporate planning "So we can jack up the prices over 5,000%" If you are going to drag others for 'Truth', maybe you need to be honest too? Jarmak posted:Facts matter, the truth matters, this is a transparent deflection. Yes they do, so start telling us some facts and explain the price gouging on life saving and critical medications like insulin, or stop pretending you are arguing in good faith. People are DYING over the inability to pay into a for-profit medical system, so start explaining why this is acceptable. https://twitter.com/jonswaine/status/1097574608692264961 Stone is still under a gag order....and is now posting on his instagram images of the Judge in his case with crosshairs over her.

Jarmak posted:"I can make up things and lie because they're the bad guys, I won't question people saying wrong things because they're on my team" I fully admit I was mistaken in how much funding is Governmental, and I'll stand by your correction. But YOU need to explain how price gouging by private pharmaceutical companies is going to make up for their increased R&D spending, and why people have to die for this. You need to explain how Insulin, a publicly researched and developed medicine, which you can buy for $25 over the counter for your pet, costs patients nearly $500 a month.
