Their comment about how they won't get complaints and will be ignored by the SEC says they do believe they are invincible with regards to the SEC. They, themselves said it. That's not my mischaracterization, that's was in the

I make no comment about the morality. If you read the linked thread, you will see that I make absolutely no judgment about the morality of the business in question. In fact, morality hasn't anything to do with my statement. It's n

They may be smart, but they are still humans. You can't ethically assign them to career paths based on some vision of social good. That goes against the whole free agency thing and I'm pretty sure we've decided it's a ho

We've tried the 'coordination oracle' a few times. It hasn't worked out very well at the larger scales, and I'm not sure trust was the issue. It appears that it works better when the two systems are blended and neit

Greed I can understand, the seeming insanity I can't. I'm not sure how many times I've seen stuff like, "They can't stop me!" That's pretty crazy, because it's well known that they can, and will, stop

I think you're right, in that there is nothing wrong with it. But, I believe their goal is to keep it free as in beer and free as in speech. Noble goals, indeed.

According to the article, flicks are the requirement. It's a long article and they don't get into it until quite a ways down. One handed would be okay, so long as it can't be flicked open by officers who practice flicking kni

It was a few years back, but I first learned about this in a documentary that had police officers practicing to flip knives open and teaching each other how to do it with different brands/styles of knives. Try as I might, I can't

0.6% of the population are lawyers. 41% of legislators are lawyers. Legislators propose, write, and vote on the laws. It's duplicitous to say that lawyers don't propose, write, or vote on laws.

Are you positive? I checked with Google and I may have the wrong keywords, but I'm not seeing that as a law in the United States. Sadly, I have not just one - but two friends who have lost their jobs for showing up incapacitated. One w

The whole thing is just a ball of insanity. I'm not sure what it is about cryptocurrency and ICOs, but it seems the representation is heavily populated with insane people. I will recommend reading this sub-thread: https://ne

Has any company tried to do proper registration with the SEC? If so, we're they successful? I just hit up the mighty Google and it was interesting, but not helpful. Search terms 'ICO proper registration SEC' yields some inter

That looks like a good starting point. Does the site exchange tokens with the USB key, so that the device also confirms the site is who they should be? My thinking is that the site should have a custom token to exchange with the device and

If you're fired for cause, they deny unemployment benefits. You can't just stop doing your job, show up drunk, and yell obscenities at your boss all day. Well, you can, but you probably won't get unemployment benefits.

We just recently ended a war that was started because of that sort of thinking. It even involved that same government agency. You might even say we are still dealing with the horrific aftermath from that war, caused by that same sort of thi

Some sort of 2FA done on a USB device might help. I'm thinking something open and free. The user can just extract, probably programmatically, the software to their own USB device and enter/configure any needed information. Then, o

Printing is not cheap. I haven't seen business costs associated with printing since probably 15 years ago, so this is out of date. We used to lease most of our equipment from the same company that did our supplies and repairs, they

You know you're going to prison, right? SEC doesn't much care if you did right by investors. Hell, you're helping prove intent - right here in this post. Add conspiracy to your charges, by the way. Seeiously, consult a lawyer
