Comment Re:What is the expected LCOE of the electricity? (Score 2) 188

What should the people of New York expect to pay for the electricity produced by this wind project? It's difficult to find a recent and unbiased source on this, I did find on Wikipedia that a 2014 study from the IPCC showing offshore wind being relatively expensive:

$155/MWh which is $0.15/kWh - https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equinor.com%2Fnews%2F2...

Where do you see a representation made by the company That buyers are bidding on the right to some kind of rights to a profit or financial stake in the business?

Anything that crossed the line was likely scrubbed as soon as they received notification of the SEC investigation and after the lawyers archived it as required. For instance in that press release that you linked to there is a link to a Dropbox file for "Impact Founder's Key Roadmaps" and is now a "Dropbox - File Deleted" return. The SEC has the contents of what was in there and from the discord server, but all of that is no longer available for the public to review.

These NFTs weren't the you "own" the image variety, but were marketed as an investment. Here is what the non-paywalled Verge article, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F2023%2F... says: "In 2021, the company sold three tiers of NFTs that it called Founder’s Keys. “Impact Theory invited potential investors to view the purchase of a KeyNFT as an investment into the business, stating that investors would profit from their purchases if Impact Theory was successful in its efforts,” the SEC complaint says.

I don't think you understand what objective versus subjective means. Basing pricing on iOS vs Android would be an objective pricing strategy as the OS being used is an undisputed fact and not a subjective individual's opinion. You can have the subjective opinion that making pricing decision based on that is stupid, but there is nothing illegal about it. Customer gets a price for a product, food, and service, delivery, and they either agree to it or they don't. If Doordash chooses to charge more on iOS they can with no obligation to disclose that they are doing so.

The price is clearly communicated and the user accepted it, nothing more is needed. Prices are different to different customers based on different times, different locations, different conditions, different availability, different loyalty, different return profiles, etc. It's called price discrimination and it is a standard legal business practice. There are no laws that require one price for all customers in all situations nor to disclose. I was booking a JetBlue flight this week. The cost for the SFO-BOS leg was $59 different depending on if I booked the return as BOS-SFO versus BOS-SJC. No explanation as to why and it doesn't cost them anything more for just that leg. Should I be able to sue for that? Their airlines, their pricing and it's my decision to accept it or decline and choose another option.
