I actually had no idea to even look for the light too, I generally think of it as something they just turn on if their lane is empty and someone doesn’t see it. I.e. a signal to “come here”, and that it’s normal for it to be off if there’s someone actually there, and an off signal does not actually mean “go away”.…

It is theoretically a choice, but not one for most people. I.e. most people work from 9 to 5, and get an hour for lunch from 12-1, you can call that a “choice’ since there’s 5% of jobs out there that aren’t, but that’s not really the case - since in any scenario that means there’s no choice for 95% of people.

Still, it was a number - and it pretty much showed them what kind of range he would consider to the upper end, as in a I find this so absurd but I’ll use it as a number that’s so absurd I’d take it no matter what.

I’ve at most seen 20-30% for the largest institutional clients, and other big law attorney commenters here agree with me - and yes I’d include write-offs (and usually it’s never for the 1k per hour partner time, but the $400 associate time getting cut). But regardless, you’re looking at bills that are probably 4-5X…

In-house lawyers at big companies aren’t the ones actually doing litigation (big companies normally hire outside specialist law firms that cost way way more, like $1k+ an hour for a partner to work on your case). Over a 10 year lawsuit, using some of the priciest lawyers in the country - they probably are at like $10…

He tried to cash out, offered to sell for $15 million, they refused to negotiate and sued him for $10 million instead.

$15 million seems like a pretty reasonable opening bid, especially considering that was an initial offer that you’d expect to be negotiated down (rather than be instantly sued). That’s less than something like “PrivateJet.com” for $30.18 million. When it’s a major corporation like Nissan, something in that range…

No contingency because he wasn’t suing Nissan for anything and wouldn’t really have a claim, he was just defending.

If your source is because you work at a law firm, you’d also know that Nissan’s lawyers (Latham at trial, Gibson at appellate) would cost 2-3X more than the random “Fertel & Associates” firm that Uzi used. (i.e. up to 1k an hour, compared to maybe 200-300 an hour at most?

There is, called a Rule 11 Motion - though this probably doesn’t meet the bar - but even though they lost, Nissan’s law suit didn’t meet the requirements to be legally frivolous from the start. It needs something more, like I sue you for using a bright red “K7" logo while mine is a Bright blue “Ribena” logo.

They never offered him $10 million. He asked for $15 million as an initial offer (like any negotiations - you start high as you expect to have to get a lot of haggling along the way (especially with a car seller =P). They didn’t come back and offer like $5 million, or they probably would’ve ended up somewhere south of…

Depends on when the poster was raised - 10% did use to be the traditional norm, and 15% is still the norm now outside of a few corners of the internet (20% probably being pushed as standard by servers or past-servers)

I don’t think you read my whole post - my point was, we currently use percentage of bill as a proxy - and it’s an imperfect proxy, leading to underpaying servers if less than average is ordered, and overpaying servers if more than average is ordered. That’s what I meant by “you can’t have it both ways” if you’re…

That’s kinda the thing though isn’t it, can’t have it both ways.

Well guaranteed might be overstating it =P “Quality and consistency” is more likely

Sounds like you are lactose intolerant - so it’s specifically bad for you (but might be fine or healthy for other people who don’t have the same dietary restriction).

Yep, the android market I think hasn’t quite commoditized as much as the pc/laptop market where most of the products on the market are cheap crap, and you need to pay a premium for quality.

I think the main thing is that Apple is a single manufacturer, so quality and consistency is guaranteed, whereas outside of Apple there can be a lot of variance. I think usually this happens when someone switches from Apple because of the most common argument against Apple “specs” - with the thought that oh I can get…

He hasn’t laid eyes on it, the process has been explained - the way it worked with these confidential documents is only a few members were designated to go see them - presumably Schiff on the Democrat side, and Gowdy on the Republican side - and noone else on the committee actually saw them. Nunes chose to have Gowdy…

I wouldn’t be so sure that the existence of the memo implies the FBI is under an obligation to divulge the nature of the source, otherwise there’s nothing to be gained.
