Many, many, many people are clamoring to outlaw gambling in the very, very few places it is currently legal, myself included. Right now Draftkings and whatever that other one is ar…

Rather than try to bring coal mining back to this community as a form of social subsidy - why not just institute a basic federal income? These folks are not alone - they are just t…

What on earth are you talking about? There is an entire, rich, enormous field of law called products liability that is precisely about holding manufacturers accountable for the per…

Yeah, but this is bullshit. We do know. The laws are garbage and should go the way of the dodo.

We know why it was put up. This is not a mystery. It was lobbied for by car dealerships in order to procure monopoly status, under the guise of 'consumer protection.' This is kind …

At no point in this post is there anything remotely resembling an example of what the author is talking about. With the exception of the reference to active record, the author coul…

Mmmm... no. * Phoropter * Tribution * Slickle * Cadine * Fination * Apricity * Revergent * Unitory * Trephony These are not words. They are not highly specific jargon either. They …

No - I stand by that as a literal use. Does 65B represent the actual money value that people will pay for the shares of 100% of the ~600 currently existing YC companies? Does it te…

This is also rather misleading - because 300 have been shut down, 904 have been funded, which includes 107 in the last batch, which can be discounted entirely from these stats. Thi…

Oh right. Math. Yes. Good call.

Those salaries seem absurdly low. Also, why is the cost of employees with overhead lower? (NB/EDIT: Pointed out below this is for 3/4 of the year, not the full year - but the rest …

In the world of business, good ideas are literally priceless - in that they have literally no value. Good ideas aren't even that important to a business. Good execution is what mat…

> My understanding is, if your Hawaiian employer demanded you sign a noncompete, you could quit on the spot and the noncompete would not apply. Is that correct? Yes.

Are you getting more money? Yes? More money = more consideration. End of story.

I'm a practicing corporate lawyer - i just have the same sn on reddit as on here. And yeah, I did read the case, and you are wrong. A contract between an employer and employee is n…

I am a lawyer - and the headline is completely misleading. Continued employment is, in fact, new consideration. Each new paycheck you get, in an at-will employment relationship, is…
