If you're in danger of 'exploding at work' or have problems that can't be fixed through the proper channels, maybe you should focus on dealing with those issues and opening lines of communication instead of getting peopl

If your organization can't encourage frank discussion about workplace issues without a venue for employees to drug themselves, you probably have more important problems to dive into. More importantly, if you lean on off-site drinking a

There is a lot of 'one size fits all' advice in this thread which ignores important factors. Part of this is because you provide far too little information to make a good strategic choice. Is this startup a moonshot? Do you have r

The method for dealing with this is to require that the developer post a bond. Bonds, however, create their own host of incentive problems.

You do not know how to do legal research, which is a large part of why you aren't finding anything. 18 U.S.C. 1001 is a great place to start, but doesn't necessarily tell you what the current interpretation of the law is. To deter

No it isn't. At the very least, it may be distinguishable for clarity, but clearly they are joined at the hip. If you accept that the biophysical system is deterministic, then the subjective experience is a deterministic, objective phy

Aaronson spends far too little time using the real cannons he's leveling at Penrose. He is attempting to down a tree by focusing snipping roots individually instead of just pushing the rotting trunk over. Penrose's argument is hol

There's a false dilemma stemming out of the word "any". In reality there's an equilibrium between giving and taking. If you don't monetize enough, you can't stay afloat as a developer and you're left with

Projects like this caused me to fall in love with tech as a kid, and my subsequent career arc was largely premised on the notion "how do we bring this type of amazing innovation into safe legal waters and allow it to flourish". I

This is a tremendous amount of time per post. A 6-7post/hr throughput is incredibly slow, unless their guidelines require they produce specific, rather than generated, feedback per post. However, the actual number of people reviewing i

Obtaining an opposing party's waiver of their right to pursue legal remedies is not the same thing as obtaining non-binding indication that they may not pursue you legally. In the first case you have extinguished a right that could be

This will be a relatively quick and dirty skim over history, but I hope it does something to dispel this belief. The comment you're replying to ignores a number of salient factors. It assumes that natural market activity resulted in St

The real 'sidestep' in the Base/RNA/Protein/Life theory is the lack of transcriptase and ribosome equivalents. Some theories posit that ribosomes were exclusively RNA-based and developed the ability to self-transcr

The court has plenty of people capable of gauging the expertise of the witness, just not at that level. Impeaching credibility is not the job of the court - it is the job of the opposing party. If the other side of the case had an expert th

Flip that around. It's more like content-mills like adverts, so they give content for free, attach adverts and hope it sticks. Don't just shrug and say "we have to do this". Own it. Say, "we sideloaded non-relevant

You've ignored the point of the post you're replying to. You're looking at the credential as a employee signalling tool, not a tool for other parties to satisfy a business need. Your HR department needs avenues to sift throug

This is typical. Judges that refuse to say anything about arguments they aren't buying are insecure about being too transparent on appeal. More senior judges will tell you rather quickly if they think your argument doesn't hold an

For your first few transcripts, it will stick out at you. After you've read a few transcripts from nervous people giving a deposition, you'll see what dithering properly looks like. You'll also begin to see that overly fluid

Uber isn't claiming the fifth amendment. A senior executive of theirs is. Their argument is that his choices aren't theirs. Judge Alsup doesn't seem very sympathetic to that line of reasoning. He did not, however, decide upon

by ABCLAW 10y ago
Judge Alsup's comments on pages 14 and 15 of the transcript mirror the statement you're attempting to discredit. Perhaps it is a bit more concerning when the argument is made by the trier-of-fact himself.

It is surprising that Google did not push the court to appoint a third party discovery firm to handle the device imaging process and to provide a report to the court. Maybe both parties' intense desire for privacy in this matter has dr

Better question: What background is the reader expected to have? Until Xi, not a single variable is defined prior to inclusion into an expression. Even Alpha and Beta are only defined in the header diagram rather than the body of the text.

Arrow's impossibility theorem is often trotted out as an argument against ranked preference, but in federal elections non-dictatorship is an irrelevant consideration, as information-scarcity prevents a voter from leveraging his unique
