I have walked through github code that a candidate has posted on their resume, asking about choices made as we went, potential improvements, etc. and usually the answers were some version of "the instructor said we should do it that wa

The Statute of Frauds sets the limit over which a contract has to be in writing, and other things. Not all contracts have to be in writing. Additionally, while contracts are generally signed by both parties, it actually, when a written/

I think the difference here is between what contract law states under common law and what people imagine it to state. I agree it feels weird to say hey I offer you X for a house and you accept then we're under contract. It's such

I don't think I quite understand. In traditional contract flow, taking out unrelated things: one person presents an offer, the other person accepts that offer, and on acceptance a contract is created. It doesn't then go back to th

Indeed, however an offer by itself doesn't create anything binding. One of the other critical pieces is the acceptance of that offer. Otherwise we'd have situations where someone was forced to sell their house simply for being in

Advertising seems like a bit of a red herring here, given that the domain wasn't advertised. My understanding from reading is that the DomainAgents people sent an unsolicited offer on behalf of Jump for $2,500. I could be wrong on that

IANAL, but: According to the message history in the court filings, Merryman responded on July 1: “The price for wormhole.com is a firm US $ 50,000. -Dick-.” To Merryman’s surprise, Jump agreed. Indicates that there was a counteroffer for $5

In these cases the remedies are usually either specific performance or monetary compensation. Specific performance is when they enforce the contract to its terms, which would be the transfer of the domain, and this remedy is usually used in

This is classic offer and acceptance in contract law. If you did indeed offer, in writing, $50k for that person's house in something that wasn't a joke offer, and then other person accepted for whatever reason before you rescinded

I would say this is a valid contract, as much as I don't like siding with scummy crypto people (scummy might be redundant here). A contract requires several things to form. According to LLI[1] these are: The basic elements required for

My friends and family do. I check in at a place on Swarm and get comments from friends, or if friends are already out in the area but we didn't explicitly coordinate we will find each other if desired. It's also nice to look back

There are lots of reasons to use heavier, higher quality, acid-free paper inside one's notebooks. The regular notebooks work ok, better notebooks are objectively better in many practical metrics as well as impractical metrics.

Totally off topic, but I loved JustWorks sooooooo much. When we got big enough to hire an actual dedicated HR department, people were unhappier in comparison, though JW is pretty expensive past a certain scale so it makes sense. It's l

Doesn't the "overhead cost" entirely depend on the business size, scope, location, employees, etc.? $800 is a lot of overhead for many tech companies.

HOA actions seem like exactly the sort of thing I should be receiving by mail. I think this thread is referring to not wanting things like "To {YOUR_NAME} or Current Resident" or spam offers via mail, which are a waste.

Not that I agree with civil forfeiture, in fact I'm highly against it, but I don't think of it as drug dealing even if the money comes from drugs. They police did not manufacture or sell the drugs, so it's a pretty big leap t

Doesn't this fail because we're looking at lots of stars spread out evenly, and so the farther you get away, the more stars fill the space?

Isn't the paradox that if the universe is static in size or shrinking, eventually all the light would fill the sky into a blinding display, rather than dark. So it's a function of the universe expanding. https://en.wiki

I don't do this anymore. Very draining to be an SRE. I remember one Christmas I worked until 2am because of SRE pages on software that, in retrospect, didn't need to even be up at the time. Google used to give us SRE bomber jacket

I would love to try this, sounds like it solves a need my team currently uses Mermaid/Drawio/etc. for. But looks like it's behind an account setup screen. :(
