A privacy pledge, how cute! The problem with stuff like this is not knowing the third, fouth, and fifth party uses. Granted most user's don't read these disclosure and even more don't have the technical aspects of how…
Which is why I said "articles like this" and not "this article." Your quote is correct. My comment was on the general scope of anti-surveillance writing.
Articles like this pop up all the time. The problem is that they never address (1) the legitimate need for surveillance; (2) dangers of an internet (or other communications networks) which law enforcement or government…
#1 bugs me the most. False urgency is the name of the game everywhere I've ever worked. From my experience it's a problem of how the company is structured. When everyone thinks what they are working on or assigning is…
You're right. The comment that you should buy stock with legal income and pay back a mortgage with the illegal income misses the point completely. Buying stock was just one example of how transfering illegaly acquired…
I think the seizure of Silk Road absolutly had an impact on the value of BitCoins. The benefit of using BitCoins is that they provide a way to operate outside of traditional currency structures. Once BitCoins becomes…
The more interesting question regarding this seizure is whether the FBI can compell the creators of BitCoin to assist in decrypting what they have just seized. For example, there are a number of statutes that require…
The current valuation is irrelivant. Federal seizure laws allow the government to seize any property, money or bitcoins included, that were used in or generated from some illegal activity. If my illegal activity…
Turning one's passion into a job almost always has this result. Work is never as exciting as doing something for the sake of doing it because work always has a finite list of things that must be done even if you don't…
You could almost certainly find a away to pierce the corporate veil in this case so that's not really a concern.
Good luck finding a cheap patent attorney. All those admitted to the patent bar must have a technical background. That only raises the price.
Just wanted to note that there are frivolous litigation rules that allow for sanctions against the party bringing a bogus suit and allow the target of the suit to recover attorneys fees. It would be standard practice to…
Sure in some cases. Don't forget that patents cover a diverse array of innovations. What exactly is being infringed upon is not always that obvious.
Sure, there are always risks with litigation but in general it is not as unpredictable as outsiders think.
That's not really how things work. Not only is that sanctionable but extremely unethical and would result in diciplinary action if reported.
It actually happens all the time. The heightened pleading standard comes from two cases - Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) and Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S. Ct. 1937, 1953 (2009). As the Twombly…
Probably not. Enforcing a patent is expensive (as most litigation is). If this law penalized trolls who filed worthless claims but rewarded those who were legitimately being infringed on then if anything it would make…
As a lawyer I'm always concerned about changes designed to make it harder to sue someone. You almost always end up with unintended consequences. Take for example the heightened pleading standard. This standard has been…
I think the point of the article is more that it's a problem when something that contains these drugs lables itself as a "natural supplement" when in fact it is not. The issue is not so much const control as it is…
I applaud the writer for his approach to making his own hub for his team. However, this is not a real 1-1 swap. In terms of pure functionality this may be an even exchange; his own platform might meet his needs just as…
Aside from fighting over whether Android is closed or not this is an interesting solution to dealing with the inconsistencies present in the Android universe. The freedom everyone wants to love that comes with a fully…
Poor guy. I wonder how many light bulbs he had to screw in before people learned his name.
Reverse Polish Notation - sounds like the punch line to a really bad math joke
That's gotta be the hackiest hack ever - write it on the outside. Genius.
Yea that or just some dude selling K2 out of his basement would have been fine by me
