The question of signing generally arises with dueling forms, where there's no dispute that "a" 20-page contract was signed on June 4, 2017, and that this is page 20, with all of the signatures, but... What did that contract s

Honestly, it would be great to swipe on filters of what I would look like with different hair-cuts. You want this hair style that's longer than you currently have? It will take this many months and here are two intermediate styles you

It would be absolutely reckless for SpaceX to not blow up rockets. How could they credibly claim to know the limits and abilities of their spacecrafts if they did not test those limits to the breaking point?

My understanding - which may be wrong - was that long-life bulbs used more electricity to operate and that the efficiency gains of a 1,000/hr bulb reduced the overall cost. So, making up numbers, a 2,500 hour bulb may cost $5 to replac

So, I skimmed the recent 4th Circuit opinion (copied below). Ultimately the NSA won on the state secrets doctrine. However, as it relates to standing the gist is that Wikimedia only proved that the NSA had the capacity to copy their communi

Part of the purpose of standing it to prevent "friendly lawsuits." If _anyone_ can challenge a law simply because they claim to be opposed to the law, then people who support the law could establish favorable precedent by mounting

Yeah, I’m suspecting a merchant vessel that frequently docks in Russia.

These errors largely sound like obfuscation... like a potentially true narrative with the names and places changed: - Instead of revealing the fishing vessel, he describes a vessel that it couldn't have been. - Giving the real timing w

He never said it was a mistake. In acknowledging that hires were made on the basis of temporarily cheap money and a temporary opportunity, the CEO seems to be acknowledging that they never intended to maintain that level of staffing. This i

The symbolism is important too. If the company is dedicated to reviving the canary, then that helps miners believe that the company also cares about their lives and will work to rescue them in case of a disaster. If they don't care abo

If we frame it as a maneuver that's associated with / driven by a major liability, then that sort of begs the question. However, generally, companies may spin brands off for reasons such as: https://www.finra.org/i

The maneuver can be pierced if the plaintiffs prove that the subsidiary was undercapitalized. So, a non-corrupt judge may allow this if the maneuver is genuinely done for accounting / management / etc. reasons and the new subsidia

Wage Growth != Inflation. Wage Growth = Value / Share++ (i.e. workers obtain a larger share of value generated by their work) Inflation = Shares++ / Value (i.e. the same value is split into more shares / dollars) Maximum empl

The US economy is a great example, just look at the historical real GDP growth. The cost of goods, houses, cars, etc. have all increased over the past 200 years, but few would say that our standard of living has decreased.

Sure, if you only look at "runaway" inflation and decouple wages from real economic growth. However, the present growth in wages has been backed by increased productivity. The Fed has been open about the fact that it intends to sl

Phrased more cynically the goals of price stability and maximum employment may be phrased as: Suppress wages and prevent workers from attaining financial independence / retiring at a young age.

Inflation is an increase in the general price of goods and services in an economy. Ask yourself what is currently driving price increases? In my estimation it's the Fed's own rate hikes. The price of mortgages is going up. The pri

Thanks. I don't think that's a contract. We need an offer and acceptance (and consideration). More broadly we also need adequate specificity to determine the essential terms. Here there were two essential terms: 1) the author woul

When someone is believed to have "committed suicide" or "accidentally" left their car running in the garage, is it routine for investigators to audit the manufacturer's remote-start logs? Do those logs even exist?
