In Australia, if a company fails to nominate a speeding fine for a company car - either refusing or not maintaining records - then the fine is multiplied compared to that for an individual.
That sounds very easy to skirt around - just have a willing driver be assigned the fine by default along with a "bonus" awarded for each instance of fining.
That doesn't work due to "demerit points". You can only get caught speeding a handful of times a year before you lose your license, so a large company would need a lot of people to take the fall for you. And considering asking someone to take the blame is probably a crime, not exactly something you can openly recruit for.
Just forwarding it to the original driver would make far more sense.
An N100 minipc or second-hand Dell Optiplex doesn't cost too much more than a rasp-Pi ($100-200), has a lot more power, and will only pull about 10W idle.
My optiplex shows as 8.191 kwh last month -> 11w average.
Is 10W idle the lowest one can reasonably get a small home server? As a comparison, that's about as much as my fridge draws on average. Also, a mechanism to maximize the time spent at idle would be useful. Basically all the optimisations done for phones.
yep yep n100s are great. I just use my gaming desktop as server, uses more money in power but it'd be on for hours a day anyway and i already own it, so i'm not concerned.
Better off watching CGP Grey's video "The Better Boarding Method Airlines Won't Use" which has more discussion of the topic, more simulations, and puts forward better methods that are either faster or allow families to remain grouped.
This is basically https://arxiv.org/abs/0802.0733 but differs to the paper in that it doesn't consider: alternating odd-and-even row disembarkment, which would give passengers more aisle space to potentially speed-up luggage handling.

Aside from that, email addresses to usernames might be valuable - you could identify high-value targets from finance, crypto, or luxury item subs.
Or you could just make lists of people who post on specific subs for targeted harrassment.
I'll ask the dumb question - he'd already taken his money out, what financial advantage is he meant to have then gained by encouraging others to do the same?

Assuming the FDIC doesn't make everyone whole, then all of his portfolio companies using SVB will see themselves with valuations lessened by whatever amount of money was lost.
i.e his investments would burn.
That said, we may very well see an outcome where everyone's just fine and instead his investments see a more difficult lending environment. There was once a california law about encouraging bank runs, but it was struck down in 2012 apparently. So not sure what else might apply in criminal or civil code.

And once again, I can't believe I'm saying this in defense of Peter Thiel, but isn't the Occam's razor answer here just that... he was giving his friends good advice? Anyone with money in that bank should have gotten it out, that's not a controversial fact. Surely even Thiel has people he'd rather see not lose their shirts.
Depends on the relevant margin. If you get adequate sleep then sleeping more won't help (and may actually hurt) but exercise can actually raise the baseline. To use a very rough analogy, sleep is like the fan in your computer. If it's working optimally it ensures you can utilize the CPU close to its physical limit. But exercise is like upgrading the CPU.
