You may want to start a Delaware C-Corp if others are investing money. That is the standard. But it is far from the cheapest way to "start a company" in the United States. Usually, it is easiest to start a "limited liability

Not really. The story of Abraham begins in “Ur of the Chaldees.” The modern consensus is that it should be in southern Iran, but historical sources had it in northern Iran or closer to Turkey. Which is also the source of the Phoenicians &#

The feds have mandated a screen (for backup cameras). Then the makers try to minimize costs by having the screen do everything. I’d like to say I’d pay more for real buttons, but I’d never buy a new car.

1. The Public needs to know if they are permitted to be at a place or not. Or even if they can claim it. Homesteading in the US (claiming public land as private land) only ended in 1986. 2. Because police need to know who belongs at a plac

A lot of “small town” America still runs on Roberts. It’s particularly good in low-trust and high-conflict meetings, where there still needs to be cohesion. School boards, religious groups, community groups, etc. The largest parliamentary

What’s the state of the art on whole home streaming these days? Amazon seems to be intent on making echo dots less and less useful for that.

Right. The reason legal fees are so expensive is that the courts are kept semi-efficient by offloading costs to lawyers. The system needs repeat players, who are scared of being disbarred. You can triple the number of lawyers, and costs wo

Government doesn’t have time to deal with moderately informed opponents on individual tickets, so they don’t show up. DNP should take the other side of this bet. AI for prosecution.

It will be interesting to see how sports (NFL, especially) shakes out. Sports was always the biggest cost of a cable subscription. Amazon bought Thursday night NFL rights for $1 billion a year, just to get credibility. That's $12.50 fo

1. Shifting profits from the entrepreneur (with skin in the game of providing consumer wants) to the middleman can be deadweight. You'd want some evidence that rewarding disloyal middlemen results in we the consumer surplus, not just

In theory, it lowers the risk of hiring in certain situations. So, if the alternative is not hiring, that's beneficial. For a lot of companies, the "sauce" is a personal relationship that isn't trade secret. If you hir

The expected downside of a lost bag is that you get it back in a day or two — not ten days. And usually not in a city other than your point of departure or expected arrival. Southwest should be responsible for making it worse.

IANYL, but LLC with an S-Corp election is the choice for the overwhelming majority of "two guys with a project" businesses -- though that can depend on the state. YMMV, especially in California & New York, but in most of the c

So the internal trades aren't on chain. Well, that's going to leave a mark. Is there a coin that distinguishes agent and owner? Seems like you want trustless agency if you're pursuing trustless finance.

So if the chain is supposed to enable "trustless" finance, what enabled Alameda to take anything? Seems Alameda and its clients should be screwed, but FTX's holders should be relatively easy to identify and restore. But ever
