#1 Weird headline. "To drop" an action or pursuit usually means to abandon it; to quit. But Dersh is pressing forward.

#3 #1 The headline is translation from Hebrew. Translator should've used "lowers the boom" not "drop"

#5 That is a poor headline, maybe designed on purpose for click bait. But at first glance, I understood it to mean "pressing charges".

#7 $300 million for a suit? I don't think even John Gotti paid that much.

#11 Computer Language translation is still a bit wonky in places. I went for a PhD in Computer Science with an AI emphasis on Language translation, but was at the wrong school for that (Georgia Tech instead of New Mexico Albuquerque (they were working on the Native American languages in the state)).

Never got it, but I did find my wife there, so I made out like a bandit.
