I disagree with a wealth tax, but for a completely different reason[1]: it's very hard to value assets and any attempt to do so will lead to weird distortions of the market. Let's say I'm a billionaire looking to avoid paying

I'm sorry to hear you feel afraid to learn more software development, but i think these concerns are largely unfounded. First of all, dependencies don't break just because they are unmaintained. If it worked ten years ago, it shou

Yes, in the current environment, you are in a much worse position for negotiating as an individual. But if benefits were never attached to your job, then everyone would be in the same boat and better options for individuals would emerge. Be

That's not just a blurb that someone typed accidentally. It's an official position statement that they signed onto and the definition is also reiterated in the accompanying white paper [0]. Sure, they can change their position. Bu

There is a 14 day time limit, but you can renew when that's over, with no limitations based on who else has a copy of the book. So it doesn't seem like a very meaningful control, certainly not in the eye of the copyright holder.

Does anyone have a legal theory under which IA can potentially defend itself here? I am no legal expert, but I just can't fathom an avenue where they win this case. The merits of copyright law can be debated, but given that the law e

Most churches are located on expensive real estate? And most are run like big businesses? And you know for a fact that charity work is less than 10% of income? These are bold statements that need sources other than some guy you know.

This isn't legal advice, but when you do something illegal, it's best not to do it in a semi-public forum that is tracked by your employer and would be an obvious place for law enforcement to look. Everyone who uses a Bloomberg

They aren’t lawyers who have a duty to defend an individual . One can argue that unions would better serve the majority of their members by not tolerating egregious behavior by individual members.

Tons of people would cash out their options immediately after a major event like this. And you don't have to get in immediately before. You can buy a week or even a month ahead of time and make a profit. I still think the OP is underes
