This is what I am starting to see. It looks like most "research" out there is the typical "20 college students for one semester" case with flawed data and questionable approaches.

At some level there's also the definition of "working out". I am on a lifting program where strength is the goal, not bulking out. We add 5 lbs every workout session (15 lbs per we…

I am looking for articles or research related to the optimization of timing the ingest of nutrients around periods of rest and exercise. Basic idea is this: You work out on Monday,…

> And... they've failed right out of the gate. Face-down in the dirt. Loved that comment. The difference between engineers and average users is that the average user isn't an engin…

Thanks!

Anyone with experience on hostile domain name takeovers care to share their experience and approaches to defending your domain/s? I am familiar with the nissan.com story. Possibly …

The points I was trying to make, reposted because code formatting makes them hard to read (sorry) and for some reason I can't edit them: - Common law trademarks in the US do offer …

Agreed. This might ultimately become my reality by force.

I would be lying to you if I said that my thoughts are entirely coherent at this point. I am certainly creating a more organized framework in my mind as a result of interaction and…

That did cost him a ton of money though. From reading his explanation it sounds like it took somewhere around $250K to defend his brand.

Yes, you are right. Ultimately it's just business. The research I've done tells me it would be hard to grab my domain given that I've been doing business under this brand for nearl…

Title pretty much sums it up. Context: I am wondering if I should contact a VC firm about an ethics/business issue I am having with a company they fund.

That's interesting. I'll research. Thanks.

I think there are a couple of ways to look at this. Businesses are bought and sold every day on the principle of a mutually agreed upon valuation that is win-win. There's nothing w…

I did not know about this. Frankly, it's terrifying. It almost makes me want to cry. The prospect of walking into a situation where I have to chose between utter financial ruin and…

Yes, that's the likely outcome I've been told. What sucks is that you have to wait until the publication period. I've been wondering if there's a way to appeal to those funding thi…

To be frank, it would have to be one of those offers you can't possibly refuse. I hinted at that and they went from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand "last offer". Given their …

I hope it doesn't come to that. Having that discussion next week with counsel.

No, please re-read the post. I think you missed important information. I did not leave anything in 2005. All I did was shutdown my C-corp and continued doing business under a dBA. …

Posted about this earlier but it was flagged, not sure why. Made some changes. I'll gladly edit to comply with rules. I've been doing business under a brand and have owned the corr…

Talking to a lawyer. Thought I'd see what advise might come out of HN. I've been doing business under a brand and have owned the corresponding domain since the early '90's. Yes, I'…
