reactos is a serious project tho. in fact they were collaborating with and at about the same progress as wine until an incident in 2006; not sure what the status of such collaboration is now

what's prohibition

Thing is, starting with lowballing (high in a market's case) and then getting into a price war is exactly how a market decides things. I get what you mean, but I also agree that the market is equivalent to open-bid.

what if he's secretly ✨luigi✨

I think it has quite a chance of mattering. There's two choices here: the judge is incomptetent/compromised, or there's a reason this makes sense within the bankruptcy context. I want to explore the latter first before I make any judgements.

AFAIK the damages paid to the Sandy Hook families were the sole reason he went bankrupt in the first place; without them he'd be profiting.

I think Abou meant bidding with cash instead of debt.

It wasn’t rejected because the judge thought it wasn’t the highest value among the bids; it was rejected because the judge thinks the auction should’ve asked for follow-up bids

Note that this doesn't mean InfoWars gets sold to anyone (including the company affiliated with Jones). It means that everyone has to re-bid.

The article says "the potential for an additional $1 million was not worth the risk of increased costs to the estate". I don't think that's the case here.

Common in bankruptcy as well?

Apparently Jones chose a sham for his trustee who decided how to run the auction

Edit: "sham" as in how Jones saw it. After receiving only 2 bids, Murray—the trustee—decided to only solicit best and final offers instead of following the original open auction procedure; the court didn't expect changing those rules, but the change was completely within the trustee's power. Though both bidders had no objections to the changed rules, the lost bidder and Jones did after the results came out and sued, and the court felt like Murray should've done something else (while clarifying that they felt Murray acted in good faith).

Apparently they also did not allow follow-up bids/outbidding others. It’s called a bankruptcy auction for a reason.

How is Bigo linked to ByteDance?

torso big or high waisted?

I get that I may be getting wooooshed, but TechCrunch nearly exclusively covers tech tech (and, uh, gaming for some reason), which that entire thing is not a part of.

Google Quantum AI founder Hartmut Neven wrote in his blog post that this chip was so mind-boggling fast that it must have borrowed computational power from other universes.

The linked HackerNews thread speculates that the relevant comment was tongue-in-cheek.

naw 3:

i've always wondered wtf was up with his pic
