Why are there complex rules like this for buyouts?
Why aren't you just allowed to buy on the open market and then place your people on the board once you have 51%
Then the free market will set the price that you pay, as people see the quantity of available shares remaining the price will rise without silly over the top bids.
Perhaps just some rule that you can buy out the remaining shares at the current price once you reach some 51-75% ownership.
In other news, a small rust belt city announced they were "investing" $Bn in attracting a Taiwanese semiconductor company to build a $Bn plant there - it will bring 100,1000s of jobs and make $small rust belt city$ the centre of a global high tech enterprise zone said $local politician$
The Chinese are killing their own Muslims who don't have oil because they might be an insurgency threat in the future.
This is totally unacceptable compared to killing Muslims without oil on behalf of the Muslims with oil because they gave a different edition of the fairy tale book
But our response is based on a carefully calculated consideration of a possible threat made by sober democratically elected politicians chosen by an informed populace - not a jingoistic knee jerk reaction to some easily demonised foreigners and an appeal to our sovereign skies
Except for the genius that decided PDFs can embed word documents and those can run vbs and download and run executables
Although hats off to the hacker who thought to call the malware file "This file has been verified by Microsoft Defender" and have the security popup helpfully use that, without any extension, as the only text in the approve/deny message.
In simpler terms, you need to cool the air much more and move more of it to get the heat transferred from the chips. You then need to compress the air to heat it up to get the heat out of the air into the environment, you then need to cool the air to start again.
Water can pretty much flow in at room temperature, get heated to chip temperature, flow out, get cooled back to outside air temperature and repeat.
Panasonic used to make a laptop that did this. The problem is to make it totally sealed it couldn't have a fan and so was limited to a pathetic CPU that throttled back as soon as you weren't in the arctic
Your phone has the advantage of mostly running custom low power silicon and being thin enough that the cover is a heat sink
The trouble is that most of these prisoners are pretty low skill, so even if you don't pay them it's of limited economic benefit to make license plates.
If you were to imprison more Derivatives Traders / Movie Actors / Popular Music Artistes - then you could turn a much better profit from the slave labour
>When leasing, using all of the cubic all of the time is getting the most return.
We paid for these toilets so we're getting the best financial return the more time our employees spend on them.
So beer and dodgy kebabs are now compulsory at every morning meeting
>The fact they built these very large and expensive buildings is a mistake in hindsight (but maybe not at the time).
to be fair, when Apple and Google built their $Bn headquarters 10 years ago they had no idea that the invention of personal computers and the internet would let people work outside the office.
Japanese semiconductor plants demonstrated their faith in their environmental standards by putting $$$$ worth of Koi in ponds fed by the cleaned waste water.
A UK lab followed the same policy, only to have the whole lot killed the first time the local farmer muck spread and all the rain water runoff went into the ponds.
