Difference is, your family doctor isn't going to try giving you chemo treatments.

The doctors wouldn't be put in that position, though. While lawyers will often gladly take a case that they have a low chance of winning without fully disclosing that.

80% of doctors don't suck. It's not that lawyers suck, per se. It's that you're dealing with an adversary, and if you get a 50th percentile lawyer to go against a 90th percentile lawyer, well, you could still win if you&

There's a big difference between a lawyer who will take a case and a lawyer who can handle a case. I agree 100%. One thing I do is look for similar cases and contact the lawyer on the winning side. The "formulas" do save you

Your framing is wrong. Neither of those two textual descriptions represent something that could possibly happen. It's as nonsensical as asking "should you be indifferent between xhskgkrid happening or kwntocusbw happening?" I

Sure, but the reaction to that should be different - one should focus on access to painkillers and such rather than some kind of incoherent existential dread.

More to the point - if you accept strong verificationism, statements are only meaningful to the extent they constrain expectations as to future experiences. "I will die" does not, because being dead is not an experience. It's

The main clauses either require a reasonable belief, which is a factual question that could easily go against the CA, or says they need to be "identified" as publishers of malicious software, without specifying how. An antivirus s

Not a lawyer but I suspect there's a viable tortious interference claim. Revocation is effectively telling your customers that your product is unsafe, if done without cause it could be actionable.

It won't be cheap enough for a couple of years, I think, but agreed. Tech solving thorny political problems is always my favorite.

But they often have different practices around what data gets billed, prioritized, etc, so they count as competition when discussing those features.

The article conflates mobile and home internet. It correctly claims that most people don't have a significant choice for home internet, but doesn't say that for mobile because it's obviously not true - there's at least t

You might have a malicious prosecution case against the party that sued you. I still don't see a cause of action or damages against a third party that provided information that they likely would have been forced to provide in discovery

As above, what's the cause of action?

If you haven't, what's the harm? Where are the damages?

Unclean hands doctrine. You can't sue someone when the complaint at issue is you doing something wrong. You'd have to find someone that didn't infringe on anything, and even then you'd have to fight an uphill battle. In

If travel through the wormhole takes exactly as long as travel via space, what kind of wormhole is it?

It can't, if that observer always moves slower than the speed of light in all reference frames.

Because of relativity, you can have locations A and B in spacetime and a frame of reference such that A happens before B and a different frame such that B happens before A. So, if you're at A, you can travel faster than the speed of li

Amazon should accept returns if warranty coverage is denied. I can point to Amazon's policy saying that warranty must apply if you want (it's by condition guidelines.)

I considered that. It should be fairly simple to find evidence in any particular state, just dig through Google's transparency reports. Would be fascinating to watch.

DMCA claims already must be submitted under penalty of perjury. It's just rare to see prosecutions.

DMCA notices are submitted under penalty of perjury, which means someone submitting false ones could be prosecuted criminally. We need an ambitious DA somewhere to enforce this, though. I've been tracking lawsuits for false DMCA or tra

Nothing in the law forces them to restrict resale of their products. If anything, it might be an antitrust violation. Some abusive patent suits might be antitrust violations as well. See e.g https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11
