And also choose not operate in the nations whose laws they are flouting in most cases; EDIT: a few weeks ago EU posters here were describing how ERCOT was preventing access to the company's public facing website, citing not wanting to comply with GDPR


Out of curiosity can you point me to where that's stated in plain English by the parties involved (if there is such a place)? I must have bad info/assumptions


This seems to be the source: https://www.puc.texas.gov/51617WinterERCOTOrder.pdf

> ERCOT has informed the Commission that energy prices across the system are clearing at less than $9,000, which is the current system-wide offer cap pursuant to 16 TAC §25.505(g)(6)(B)... The Commission believes this outcome is inconsistent with the fundamental design of the ERCOT market... the market price for the energy needed to serve that load should... be at its highest.

It’s not exactly plain English, but the Public Utilities Commission is pretty clearly telling ERCOT that they should ignore the current clearing rates and raise prices until there’s enough power or they hit the $9,000 ceiling, whichever comes first.


You could even say "The Fourth" and almost all Americans would understand. I think that's why; [begin speculation] it's such an exceptional date it necessitates saying it differently.


I'm willing to bet publishers understand that will make any remaining good will they have with the people who generate their content evaporate


Hostages aren’t usually full good will, and hostage takers aren’t the best negotiators.


Where's the line between the Chinese population and the Party's indefensible acts? Will more expensive food in China help to resolve this [or are Canadian ag exports re-exported]? I say this because I'm not convinced sanctions have been effective in cases like Cuba, Iran, etc


You can also "dump" your service when the money pump won't stop flowing; ie operate at a loss and offer it at rates that competitors cannot beat. EDIT for context: this is illegal internationally when it comes to physical goods in almost all circumstances I'm aware of.


Grim Dawn is another alternative, without much of PoE's online functionality


I really enjoy Grim Dawn. I'm sad that the game is finally "finished" and will no longer be getting update patches. The developer gave the game a good 4 years of post release content though!


What do you mean? The game is being updated. Last update was in January this year...


Grim Dawn is absolutely amazing. I tried playing PoE but it felt so fake. Grim Dawn is raw and dark, the dual class system is awesome, and that’s exactly what I was looking for.


Depending on which side of the bed I wake up on, I can lambast the US status quo as crony monopolists who own the government as well; yet I'm still nervous about the move "fast and break things" philosophy when it comes to real world markets, societies, and governments.


Surely there must be at least one federal or state judge who quietly whispers to himself 'I am the state' every time he/she signs a court document in that way


Normally they jail people for releasing "state secrets" not the other way around
