Will the US apply the same rules and ban Facebook, given actual evidence of Russian propaganda/misinformation during the last election?

That's not really correct - you just have to promise to exchange something. If you and I shake on a deal to buy your car for $100, that can certainly be legally binding if we intended it to be so. Usually, though, handshake deals mea

This is less about Fortnite and more about a mobile Epic Games Store. That being said, caving to Google and putting Fortnite back on the Play Store dramatically undermines their case, because it shows that how important the Play/App S

Luckily, commercial litigation isn't held in the court of public opinion.

I fully expect the court to ask the question though. "Is there any difference between Apple and Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo?" is a logical sequitur to "what's your market?" and "who holds the power?"

As someone who (in an earlier life) started off in the profession, here's a dirty little secret - I'd say around 2/3 of lawyers get by on pure bluff, bluster and intimidation. I'm talking shouting on phone calls, slammi

Herbalife actually makes (labels?) products that are decent enough, so I don’t think you can outright call it fraud. The seller structure is definitely a pyramid scheme, but I’m not convinced that alone is reason enough for it to be illegal

Oh, I completely agree, and I really can't see a solid foundation for Epic's claims at all. But, on the other hand, anti-trust was never my area of legal practice, it's a highly specialized area of US law (something I'm

I’m guessing they are very confident in their legal position. Just think how much it would be worth to Epic to run their own Games store on iOS - literally billions. This is big brain thinking from Tim Sweeney.

I'm calling BS on this. I lived in Melbourne for the past 5 years (left 8 month ago) and never saw any 2br apartment that would be that cheap with a standard P+I loan with 10% down. I guess it's possible if you took out an interes

Including the most critical group of all - customers. It’s astonishing how little Google cares about its paying customers, at least when it comes to AdWords and GSuite, and GCP. I think the Pixel division is the only exception, though I don

Keep in mind that Apple is slugging developers $150 every year just to get their foot in the door of the App Store. That's not an insignificant sum. No developer or company is happy with the way Apple runs the App Store. Their commissi

Really? I'm Australian and that's the first I had heard of it (either the fact that Atlassian had a contract, or that he commented on HN about it).

I don't know what it's like in the USA, but Australian banks simply don't lend to small businesses without taking security over (usually) real estate. This inevitably means a senior mortgage over the principal's primary
