I also heard Chick-fil-A is a lot more controlling in terms of spacing out franchises to avoid overlap and prohibiting ownership groups from owning multiple locations. So determining locations that maximize profitability is a good thing for their franchisees.

And some people are in jail for less than 20 years for murdering someone. Sentencing can be messed up and very arbitrary. Fortunately, the federal system uses a set of Federal Sentencing Guidelines that can help make the process more objective.

I worked at AMD around the 2005 timeframe making flash memory. We were at 65nm critical dimensions and my boss was wondering how we’d ever get smaller. He knew we would, but his point was that it was like a cross between a magic show and the sun rising: it’s going to happen, but nobody knows how. That was nearly 20 years ago, and we are still adhering to Moore’s Law.
