This Google "source code and other supersecretstuff" doc in the Google Search case is bullshit. Is DOJ not even talking to Microsoft? In earlier case, I had to review (with FTC CTO Ed Felton) Google's source code myself and these restrictions are guaranteed to murder any remedy.

I’m surprised and disappointed at the absence of plans for a future FTC. You can’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again (especially when blocked by SCOTUS), so what comes next? I’m reminded of this Milton Friedman paraphrased quote:

Interesting. Even Judge Mehta is raising eyebrows at the TC slow walking. He’s set deadlines for another joint filing AND a status conference for next week. I can’t attend, hope someone will live tweet. TC = Turtle Crawl

Mind boggled. In Reddit v SerpAPI et al, defendant Perplexity files a… er…perplexing motion to force Proskauer to be its law firm. The firm declined to represent because it previously worked for Reddit. What a strange procedural posture…. The opening sentences give…

More delay in Google Search remedy. I wonder if the TC knows it is being played. And I wonder who their foot-dragging lawyer is. It would all be nauseating if it weren’t so predictable.

I recently contested a parking ticket in DC. The adjudicator denied my position by citing camera photos that supppsedly contradicted my claim. Not speed camera photos, so were these Flock cameras that the adjudicator had access to?
