I don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all solution, especially at the level of detail you provided. Marketing and selling anything is hard, but also highly domain specific.

A lot of "fear of missing out" discussion in this thread. Keep in mind that calling market tops is a tricky business. If bitcoin crashes (as it often does after meteoric rises), it will no longer look smart to have invested at man

...that a small number of people printed for themselves and now hold in massive quantitites. Wealth distribution is bad enough with the currencies we already had. A true bitcoin takeoff would be an order of magnitude worse.

Just this week I was involved in a comment thread where people defended Wikileaks' impartiality. This is a huge bombshell.

After the last year, I assume anything WikiLeaks releases is /at least/ contextually misleading.

You only consent to allow delivery people into your home, not the police. The 4th amendment doesn't have a trickery loophole, your reasonable expectation of privacy is always with respect to the police, not to other businesses and peop

Hopefully those nitpicking the wording, timing, and implementation of these rules realize just how deep harassment and hate run on social media platforms like Twitter. Certainly the rules are imperfect, but the amount of anonymous toxicity

iPhone 6+ in a waterproof LifeProof case. Feels consumerist and horrible to say it, but it's lasted me almost 2.5 years without any issues. The gigantic screen is a great companion while I've been on the road. The case makes it al

Not at all. Significantly worse punishments were commonplace when the Constitution was drafted. There's rich jurisprudence on what that clause means, but there's no way the current consequences of a felony conviction even comes cl

The shady employment outcome reporting issue mirrors a problem that has plagued law schools for years. In the worst cases, all 200 or so U.S. law schools would boast about high percentages of students landing 6-figure starting salaries. In

Theft of property is illegal in almost all jurisdictions in a very general sense. It doesn't matter what the property is, and the law doesn't try to anticipate every possible thing a person could own to specifically prohibit misap

Because repossessing property is (statistically speaking) more likely to work out for the bank than repossessing whatever random stocks an investor decided were a sure thing. That's why margin accounts aren't available to everyone

Actually, very large blocks of stock are often worth more than a simple (number of shares) * (most recent trading price per share) formula suggests because of the control premium [FN1]. As further proof, corporate-level transactions like

This was my experience in corporate law. Long (and critically important) documents were cobbled together by small teams of brutally sleep deprived kids. The end result was a tangled webs of documents, defined terms, and clauses that all the
