I'm not a marksman by any means, but shouldn't the buttstock be in the pocket of his shoulder? It looks like the recoil from the next shot will send that thing flying backwards

Are they any better off with it? I don't the current rates but it used to be around a few pounds of rice. It's desperation rates for desperate people.

I don't disagree with what you're saying. But learning to tune a plane takes skill and time. People get into woodworking because they want to build things out of wood. The love of adjusting tools comes later.

The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?

Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.

Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.

 

I was thinking about this after listening to Marc Andreassen blather on about how he doesn't trust government as a repository of trusted keys and other functions. He advocates for private companies to perform critical functions. Standard libertarian stuff in many respects.

The problem of course is that corporations lack accountability. They can shift terms and conditions or corporate purpose and there is little meaningful recourse except to stop using them. I can think of small examples that don't widely resonate (Mountain Equipment Co-op I'm thinking of you 🤬) but are there big examples that I'm missing?
