      https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/lyrics-site-genius-com-accuses-google-of-lifting-its-content-11560677400 … clever hack! Lyrics equivalent of paper streets. But it’s probably the case that G’s partners copied Genius, but G is the brand worth writing about.

      I have a general theory that investigative journalism works really well iff collapsing the information asymmetry will be profitable. The best investigative journalists get paid by selling their puts.

      Another general theory: if you control the most valuable brand name in your supply chain, you’re already vertically-integrated when it comes to PR liability, so it’s cheaper than it looks to actually go full-stack.

      let me give you an e.g. to see if I get this If you're Delta and someone is going to catch food poison from a sandwich you hand out, then you're already on the hook for downsides created by Air Food Services LLC, so you might as well capture upside / control loss by buying AFS ?

      Yes, exactly. Conversely, if you are J Random Input Corp, you have a strong incentive to cut corners.

      > incentive to cut corners related to my rant that, tho I hate government, USG is 100% correct to have a 20 page specification for brownies (a favorite red tribe talking point). If the only incentive vendors have is "lowest price to win contract", and no definition, then >

      a bag full of gravel counts (not at first, but stepwise: 10% cocoa -> 9% -> 8% ... ). We either define "brownie" in 20 full pages, or we empower someone to make arbitrary purchasing decisions ("corruption").

      it's only corruption until you achieve full unicameralism, then it's just "John's department"
