The "barefoot" phenom is a current fashion. And a recurring one. Most of their marketing points---down to radiographs of feet crammed in shoes---go at least as far back as Munson's book on military footwear. Fashionable sho

The other comment recommending a doctor query is right. If it's affecting daily life, best to check it. That said, feet do tend to swell as days go on, especially active days. That's why nearly every guide to sizing recommends m

I have never worn a dress, but I've learned that dress sizes are worse than feeble guidance. They have become, for certain brands and items, a sales lever. And a subtly cruel one one at that. Menswear brands creep ever closer to parit

My local Red Wing store had a gadget that mapped my feet in 3D. I've since seen links the company gave other people to profile pages showing their results. While the machine was doing its beepy-flashy dance, I told the sales guy I bet

Judges aren't binary computers. They're people. It's people all the way down. On the other hand, there's no halting problem. Get on the docket, get a result. Even if the result is "No standing. Go away."

Whether you're using the right start point and picking the right optional pieces are definitely important. But for most kinds of agreements I see and advise on, there's nothing lawyers know that nobody else could know. What you ne

I negotiate professionally. I'm still tempted into one or two books a year on the subject. But the only one I'm ever tempted to recommend is Jim Freund's Smart Negotiating . Very modest in its claims. Negotiation is a lot li

You'd have to pay little attention indeed to ascribe inerrant nobility to public office.

Maybe old Netscape folks shouldn't feel so bad. Microsoft even did it to the Soviet Union. And they got away with it that time! ;-P

This post sows the seeds of its own best counterargument: time is money and maintainer money means maintainer time. There's no sharp either-or between just a hobby and full-time job. There are some inflection points, as where money bec

Good argumentation from very faulty assumptions. The Developer Certificate of Origin is not a contributor license agreement. (See https://writing.kemitchell.com/2021/07/02/DCO-Not-CLA .) It has no part that cl

Is sounds like you’re using for education without taking the deal they offer for education. If the terms of that program aren’t workable, they can lose you. But freeloading is almost by definition precarious business.

Don't let lawyers confuse form and substance as cover. It's perfectly possible to address more possibilities in simple language. The result might run longer, but it won't hurt to read. Too many companies run on legal docs ex

It’s case by case. I have seen some accurate CEO comp headlines. Some publications certainly bat better than others. As for Intel: $10m a year is still a lot of money. I have also heard that targets are occasionally hit. ;-D

I'd sure go for a standardized inline HTML tag that expands in UI like <details>. Semantics like a footnote, perhaps.

Author of post here. Much appreciate this comment. My personal TL;DR is probably more like "blockchain, bleh". I think it's a dead end, for social ⋃ technical reasons. But I know and respect folks holding out hope and putti

Thanks for your note. As fellow counsel, I'm sure you get why the post had to be general. I earnestly believe that none of the clients I had did anything I thought illegal when I represented them. But I can't ethically blog deta

Common law and civil law legal systems are fundamentally different, and they differ meaningfully in how NDAs get written on them. I doubt a single set of terms could cover both kinds of jurisdictions without more or less sticking two NDAs t

I encourage those looking for standard NDAs for business to have a look at https://waypointnda.com and https://guestbooknda.com . FriendDA is a cool concept. As a concept, rather than as a name for any specific terms,
