consumer welfare and preservation of corporate power has diluted and trivialized
antitrust law. So of course in a way Posner's question in Hively was very right:
the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890 wasn't rewritten or seriously amended. Instead,
the prevailing consensus of the "evil" the Act was meant to prevent evolved, and a
new consensus of the "natural" economic model came to be accepted with little
turbulence by politicians, jurists, and eventually, in a lay sense, the public.
It appears that not all programmers want to work more efficiently (think about
lawyers, who are not eager to work faster), or they don't control the budget and
their pointy haired boss can't understand the value, or they just don't know
something fancy like JRebel exists. By the way, if you are a Java developer, this
is a must have tool along with all their other products. Plumbr has a similar story
to Zeroturnaround. Great products?—?but is the market mature enough for this? A
decade ago, HR was a boring part of every organization, nothing fancy, and even
when we said that we care about our people, in many cases it was just empty words.
Until Google, Netflix and some other role models reinvented it?—?and suddenly we
started to care, as it was the only way to stay alive in the talent hiring war.
"Mr. James, I really do not advise dwelling on such a subject. It misses the point
of the scripture… but," he paused with a sigh, "as long as you're listening, Lord
knows I get little enough of that in this town… if you carry evil in your heart it
is difficult to avoid temptation because evil attracts evil… you open a door for
evil. That's why we need to repent for our sins. When we do so we close that door
and become clean again. Evil can't touch a hair on the head of the sinless. Just as
Jesus, in his sinless perfection, rebuked the serpent without fear."
But in April, Massachusetts' highest court found that state law enforcement
officials had never fully investigated the scope of Farak's wrongdoing, retesting
only 10 samples of her work. And based on new discoveries by defense lawyers, the
extent of Farak's drug abuse now appears far greater than was initially alleged.
Officials at the time of Farak's arrest claimed she had tampered with the drugs she
tested beginning only in July 2012, and only after she had tested each sample. That
is now in serious doubt.
"Judges in local, state and federal courts across the country routinely hide their
connections to litigants and their lawyers. These links can be social?—?they may
have been law school classmates or share common friends?—?political, financial or
ideological. In some instances the two may have mutual investment interests. They
might be in-laws. Occasionally they are literally in bed together. While it's
unavoidable that such relationships will occur, when they do create a perception of
bias, a judge is duty-bound to at the very least disclose that information, and if
it is creates an actual bias, allow a different judge to take over." Id.
