Yup. But what is a reasonable percentile for someone to "comfortably" afford the monthly payment for a median new car? Maybe 80 is on the high side. But it certainly isn't 50%. 10% of income as a heuristic for a car payment i

It should have been clear enough from reading the abstract of Khan's law review note https://www.yalelawjournal.org/pdf/e.710.Khan.805_zuvfyyeh.p... . Quote: "This Note argues that the current framework in ant

It feels like a very truncated version of the translator's preface. Maybe someone will post a review. I am partial to Pevear and Volonkhonsky. I find the English fine, despite everyone complaining it is too close to the Russian. I don&

What happens when they lose this one too? Just because the commissioner has a law review Note setting forth a legal theory does not mean the law has changed.

More Brandeisian. Hence the name, Neo-Brandeisian. But those precedents were overturned by the Supreme Court. Only the Supreme Court can overturn the precedents. But since it is interpretation of statutes, Congress can change the statutes.

Khan and the "Neo-Brandeisians" have a legal theory, which to oversimplify, holds that the true meaning of the antitrust statutes is "big business is antithetical to democracy, and so the federal government is empowered to st

Times New Roman is less than 150 years old, Helvetica less than 100. Despite their ubiquity due to being the default fonts on personal computers, they aren't super common in publishing or signage. They're actually kind of special

Hilariously, the explanation of the notarization typo (actually, I find that believable) is a 1746 "declaration." It's an old federal law which provides that as long as you say you are signing under oath, it is as good as an

I used to be a lawyer. While I never got in trouble with the disciplinary commission, I did keep up with what they were up to. And once, I was involved in a bankruptcy case where they were a party (the disbarred lawyer filed bankruptcy, and

A lawyer who files any document in federal court vouches for the factual and legal soundness of the document under penalty of sanctions, up to and including losing the case and being reported to the state bar's disciplinary board. Lawy

In federal courts, when you file something under your account (often, attorneys have staff do the clicking to file), it is the equivalent of signing. And what you sign, you vouch for. This standing order reiterates what any practitioner _sh

In law school, one professor asked if we preferred a take home exam or a proctored exam. To his surprise, we nearly unanimously chose proctored. A take home exam or an essay is not less stress. It just expands the time boundaries of the str

It is a good way to get exposed to the baristas once a month. When I was a barista there, I saw my manager's manager a few times. I think I knew the name of that person's manager? I think there's at least 2 more layers before

Yes. About the least-skilled position in retail is working the POS. Even with a touch screen, it takes practice. It makes a big difference if the operator knows where all the buttons are as opposed to having to hunt and peck. Yes, the machi

Better not be during the rush. Someone who works half a day once a month is going to be worthless in a rush, and it isn't worth the trouble to train them because they aren't coming back soon enough to remember any skills. During t

Disagree. Even with the flaws. Like it or not, USB-C is the new de facto standard. Even if Lightning were opened up, who else would use it? Current generation electronics of all sorts (laptops, phones, headphones, cameras, bike lights) are

What I want to know is what they were doing before 2004 when they adopted Times New Roman. Courier? Gothic? Calibri is a nice screen-reading typeface. It is likely that "upstairs" reads on a screen, but I wouldn't bet that mu

The disruption will be from within the legal profession. Some lawyers will gain a great deal. Others will lose a great deal. There is a lot of differentiation in terms of the level of skill and effort legal work takes. Some firms will speci

I took the bar exam. I passed, but it was Illinois, which has low standards and high passage rates. Take that for what it is. On the essay portion, the scoring is about 1/3 focused on knowing the legal doctrine that is being tested, an

It does, but only temporarily. Think of bankruptcy as fundamentally that the debt holders take over, and so a short time is given for everything to be sorted out. Creditors are paid by priority based on lien rights and some policy preferenc

I used to work in food service. I didn't keep track, but I don't think it was 3-5%. More like a tenth that. Maybe it's just coffee, and so even a great majority of the really terrible people could manage to pay and leave with
