Suppose someone exclusively receives money via bitcoin and their name is in no way linked to the bitcoin address. Yes, they are probably anonymously receiving money. But, if they are purchasing any actual physical goods, the IRS knows the

My understanding in the United States is that the federal government can't copyright. I'm not sure how this affects other governments, but the must own the copyright issue shouldn't apply to US government documents.

There is more to it, just as there is more to any art than just medium and presentation. But medium and presentation are a part of the art and the art was created with the medium and presentation in mind.

It may be technically at-will, but anyone can tell you that you have to be very careful when firing an employee.

You may not worry about this, but others might (and I can think of scenarios where this would be a very bad thing), and it certainly isn't apparent to most people that if your phone gets stolen, the thief has access to your location history

As a non-typical user with two large monitors, I never notice gnome notifications. They're small and often on the monitor I'm not looking at.

It's more than that there is just a predisposition for language. Chomsky argues that this predisposition is a result of a universal grammar, or set of grammar rules for organizing language that is a fundamental part of our brains: http://e

There are online food places where you can buy pure glucose (it has value in certain gourmet foods because of its different properties from sucrose). However, if you read more of Taubes than just this, you'll see that he presents evidence t

On the other hand, it says that 690 meters is the average. I wonder if the accuracy is higher or lower in more densely populated areas. My uneducated guess is that it would be higher and that you'd actually have a more accurate location for

Almost every CEO in the country is responsible for killing "innocent" animals, since most are not vegetarian. Most are paying others to do it for them and are eating it themselves, but why is that morally better?

And yet, Japanese stocks had 0 or negative returns for more than 20 years. In addition, even with the current drop in the Nikkei, the Nikkei was lower two years ago. What makes the Nikkei more attractive at 8600 following this major disas

Did you buy two years ago? Because the Nikkei was lower at various points in 2009 than it is now. If not, why is this valuation better? It's almost certain that Buffet would be actually analyzing these stocks rather than just jumping in bec

Is this really the 80-20 rule? As I understood it, the 80-20 rule is that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. E.g. 80% of profits come from 20% of your clients. Here he's saying that 20% of developers want to launch a startup, a

While I'm not sure where the phrase itself came about, John Locke back in the 1600s endorsed copyright in "Liberty of the Press" as the "property" of the authors and proposed an amendment to British Parliament in 1695 to "secure the author'

Wrong. What you claim isn't the only view. Here is a paper in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review which argues against this (see pages 2026-2028): http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1457848 "it does seem at first blu

Even retail stores are somewhat limited in their ability to do this (not that some don't do it anyway). As stated, it would seem to run counter to FTC section 233: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/guides/decptprc.htm

I think these are actually pretty good fees. This makes it actually possible to sell something for 25 cents and make money. Yes, a good portion will be used in fees -- you will be giving up 6.25 cents of your 25 cents. But that's significan
