Yeah, I understand the article to be saying that the Hitachi contract is for the train control system, including the software and equipment necessary for the operation of the train underground. The broader system upgrades include communications systems between trains and stations. At least how I read it.
No, the $212 million includes the entire upgrade (and 20 years of support) of the automatic train control system. The full $700 million plus is for the overall modernization of multiple systems.
Yeah I wash my vegetables for grit. I don’t even care that much about bugs, but even the slightest amount of grit is terrible.
pulled right from the fuckin court documents
The “court documents” are filings by the parties. You’re summarizing litigation documents filed by Twitter, in a motion to dismiss, which is a phase of litigation before either side comes forward with any evidence.
The court hasn’t ruled on anything, so you’re just repeating statements that one side has claimed. I’m pointing out that the other side is claiming the opposite.
The suing company isn’t going off anything but fucking assumptions.
They’re not required to come forward with evidence (and litigation procedure doesn’t even give them much of an opportunity to come forward with evidence at this stage). What they have come forward with is literally sealed by the court, so unless you’re leaking confidential court documents you don’t have any idea of what they’re claiming. Take a look at the docket.
If you’re going to be aggressive in this comment section, at least learn the very basics of the thing you’re being aggressive about. It’s clear you don’t know the basics of this type of litigation, so it might help if you show some intellectual humility, take a step back, and let the knowledgeable people actually weigh in, to be able to evaluate the publicly filed documents in an informed way. Whatever it is you’re doing instead, looks pretty bad.
There was no purchasing contract in place when the suing company placed the $20 million dollar order they are claiming is all custom made and cant be recouped, “the social media platform had not made any firm purchase order when the server dealer went ahead with its purchases and deliveries.”
You’re leaving out that the paragraph you’re summarizing starts off with “X claims that.”
One side says there was a contract. The other side says it wasn’t firmed up yet into a binding contract. Neither side has come forward with their evidence.
Also, Wiwynn is also suing for negligent misrepresentation and promissory estoppel, which don’t require a contract.
I mean that’s basically why a lot of us are great at small talk: we actually do care about the contents of that low stakes conversation with strangers.
Are you talking about the office or the sauna?

Beans are a starch
Beans are more than that. Beans/legumes/pulses are, as the children’s song suggests, magical (even if they are not fruit).
They can take the place of meat or other proteins, like in a stew/chili/curry, a proteiny topping on rice/pasta, slabs of tofu, or even as a sandwich stuffing (falafel in pita, black bean burger in bun, peanut butter in a sandwich, filling in a burrito).
They can take the place of starch, as in a bean porridge or baked beans in some circumstances.
They can act as a green vegetable, as green beans or edamame or peas.
They can be a handy ready-to-eat snack, like peanuts or wasabi peas.
They’re a sweet filling for desserts, like peanut butter or peanut brittle or whole peanuts in chocolate bars, or Chinese red bean paste, or all sorts of Vietnamese and Thai dishes.
Even on the non-food side of things they’re excellent high protein feed for livestock, green “manure” for nitrogen fixation in soil, and useful for production of various industrial chemicals and materials.
I told the magic mirror a thousand times, I never wanted to meet a girl in person! I just wanted a corpse. You can’t disappoint a corpse! I hate you magic mirror!
