Did you get sued or did you get a letter to stop using the name? It feels unlikely that the first communication you'd get from them is notice of a lawsuit. IANAL, but ... Trademarks are one of those things where if you don't show

I believe that the benefit of my choice to live in a low-cost area should accrue to me. If the company really believes in a remote workforce, they should pay based on value to the company. I am also saving the company on rent and probably

Since they don't say whether each line represents the same number of people, I would guess that an outlier line is just a smaller sample.

I'd say, in general, yes, but not by definition. One example is that you need a rare expert to do something and there are no extra unemployed experts available to you, but you have more work. If you make the ones you have more producti

Being able to say you got a YC offer is somewhat useful. It's some validation at least, even if you never use it to get a better offer.

Making things public is how the government gets data closer to the truth with less work, and you don't have to trust them to do it. Groups with interest do the verification (lobbyists, journalists, you, etc). This is part of what mak
