When a couple who’ve got rich on 21st-century algorithms move into an abandoned mansion, the gods of horror quickly set about payback

The Austrian physicist noted that before anyone opens the chamber and makes an observation, that cat exists in an indeterminate state between life and death.
Lawsuits can be like Schrödinger’s cat. As evidence, let’s turn to a defamation “lawsuit” “filed” on Monday by Ryan Kavanaugh against the podcaster Ethan Klein. This is no ordinary case, and lawyers, reporters, and others would be wise to pay attention ...
