Yes - certain filings are confidential while they are 'in process.' They then get released in batches on specific release dates, to the entire world, all at once. In particular, IPO registrations may be done confidentially in earl

Without copyright protection, copyleft open-source licenses are unenforceable. You are basically saying all software should be MIT licensed.

First, humans are still necessary - to build the factories, to operate them, to act as security guards - and the cost of those humans is still lower. Second - all the other costs in low wage countries are also a lot lower. Combine that wi

I agree - I'm an attorney. But are we picking and choosing here? Because my bet is, and has been for quite sometime, that when all is said and done, the 'regulations' we are talking about are those that already exist and are

What about the folks who love cryptocurrency specifically because of the fact it is unregulated? Are we not doing that anymore?

I would gladly pay a substantial premium for an ISP that was a co-op (i.e., subscribers are also 'owners') or run as a not for profit. Not for profit is probably easier. Hell, I would donate my time as a lawyer to helping out.

> The government doesn't regulate the USD or NASDAQ shares... Yes, it most certainly, unequivocally does. (I believe this reinforces your point.)

Forgive the million questions - is this not what you are doing on facebook? Or is it only working on facebook chat? Is that not react? Sorry to be such a pest but I've spent probably too much time banging my head against this problem.

I mean on the encrypt side, not the decrypt side. When I try to put text into a react form, react doesn't pick it up - it still uses the original text in the input form. I will definitely look at that code though, thanks!

How did you deal with text injection into react forms on facebook? Whenever I interact with text in a form field on facebook via a browser extension, it is not picked up by react, and the original text is what is picked up on submission. I&

Right, that was my instinct, it is just that the documentation I have seen, including the O'Reilley bitcoin manual, on the coinbase transaction, glosses over this point. This is the best explanation I've seen so far: https:/

I actually would very much appreciate that. I was just reading Nakamoto's whitepaper on Bitcoin [1] and I understand the hashing. However, the coinebase transaction is still a bit confusing to me. Specifically, to get at precisely this

Thanks for the great response. > The number who would have no effective recourse under this license, who would have had effective recourse before, is quite high. I think that's the rub. If that is the case, then this is certainly ve

You make a lot of good points, but I want to focus on just one. > This license will not have the effect of stopping patent litigation. Patent trolls don't use React, and most of the danger is still trolls. I agree. However - implici

So the concern is that if you are a company with a large patent portfolio, and you sue facebook for patent infringement unrelated to react, facebook will yank your react license?

I have been saying this for quite sometime on this forum - contracts have to deal with ambiguous circumstances and expressly contemplate being resolved in courts. Ambiguity of contracts is a feature , not a bug, as it is in the interest of

Totally incorrect. I have formed very, very many LLCs and they all use registered agents. You'd have to sue in order to find out the actual owners. For the record, I am a practicing attorney licensed in NY State.

Very happy to see you responding! Let me be totally clear about something: you have built something interesting and you should run with it. You will hear a ton of criticism, including on this forum, telling you to pack it up and take it hom

Right now, in America, your browsing history is basically for sale by your ISPs. That it may not be actively happening right now is coincidental - it is an impending certainty. If you are okay with that, godspeed, but I think you would have

Does no-one see the irony in patenting an anti-piracy standard? If it is remotely effective, it will, itself, be pirated. If it is not effective, it will only make the lives worse of people who choose not to circumvent it. Additionally, I j
