When I went to this site it showed a thumbnail for YouPorn on the right. Maybe not a good idea to show the most recent thumbnails generated! Useful service though. I had a need for this a year or so ago.

I'd take this book with a grain of salt. I don't think they've consulted with an IL/maritime lawyer (or a lawyer at all?). Seasteading might sound like a hacker's dream but there are a lot of issues not explored in this book that would be i

This has happened before. Check out the history of pirate radio in Europe. The European countries responded by creating national laws that embargoed the pirate radio stations. The Spanish were never apart of it and British citizens just ign

Although this post is rather off the HN path, people might appreciate a draft of a law paper I've coincidentally just written on the legal issues with doing these sort of things: http://private.summerhilldesign.com/SeaLawPaper.pdf (3rd ye

I don't know about "breaking the law intentionally" but here are some examples of things startups have done that other people have thought were illegal. In some of the cases people have thought that so strongly that they've filed lawsuits.

To be fair to big banks (this doesn't sound like me...), the boiler room operator steals all of your money and the bank doesn't. You might not get the return you're expecting but at least they won't straight up steal from you. It is differe

If you're curious about other jurisdictions; in Ontario you generally get 17 weeks pregnancy leave and then both parents can take 35-37 weeks of parental leave: http://www.labour.gov.on.ca/english/es/pubs/guide/pregnancy.... .

Take the plunge, how about signing up for a hackathon? TechCrunch Disrupt is a good one. You can start off on the tech side by doing small projects for people in your neighbourhood. Maybe a new store has opened? One of my early contracts wa

You might want to add a way to see what the product is without signing in. If there is a way it wasn't immediately obvious to me. Looks neat though.

I have never had a law exam question that tested something on outdated law. I'm a third year Cdn. law student but it's probably quite similar. The old cases are taught because they're still relevant to some principle. A 1600s case about a m

I've seen counterfeit Canadian money. You can buy it in bulk from people at a discount to the face value... Many retailers in Canada have signs saying they'll refuse to take $100 bills (probably the reason for the recent roll-out of new $10

You don't need to go that far. Canada! We're not far away and most day-to-day things are the same here. Also our Supreme Court recently ruled that hyperlinks are like footnotes in a book so publishing a hyperlink to defamatory material does

They don't really offset the fees because the fees are higher! At least in Canada, the high points cards actually cost more for merchants to accept. Merchants are charged different fees per card but by the rules of the credit card companies

Do you have a background in this (re: JD)? This is a very complicated task. In fact it's such a tricky task that I think you might be better off just building a database of terms. A quick Googling didn't turn up anything so maybe this is so

That's a good question (not sarcasm, it might come off that way). I actually do have a small investment yet I never planned on exercising any control and only control a trivial number of shares. There's a fair bit of academic debate on thes

Not to nitpick, but since we're on the topic of corporate governance... Hopefully this will make it a bit more clear on why the governance issues are so murky: At least in Canada, and I'm fairly sure the United States as well it's actually

Another factor: taxes. $60k in one year is taxed at a higher rate than $30k/yr for each of two years. RRSPs in Canada mitigate this... But you're probably still better off with $X/2 income.
