If they make claims in their ICO-related documents that the coin is not a security when it is in fact a security, then they are committing securities fraud. You're right that if they straight up said "this is an unregistered s

Thanks for pointing this out. I was about to say that Google doesn't offer corporate housing to their interns (anymore; the 2014 cohort may have ruined it for the rest of us). They do offer a generous relocation stipend which covers fl

Also absolutely insane that one ruling in one Fed District Court is non-binding to the other Courts. What is the point of having the Supreme Court if courts which are nominally peers of one another are bound by each other's decisions

$18k is the maximum yearly contribution to a 401(k) - it can be either a Roth or a traditional account. The money in your Roth 401(k) is less accessible than that in a Roth IRA until you convert the 401(k) into an IRA. You have to be lucky

The MIT license does not explicitly mention patents. However, depending on the lawyer, an argument could be made that it contains an implicit patent license. I think that Facebook would have an uphill battle arguing that their relicensing d

Also, all programmers have a burning desire to build stuff from scratch, I don't think this is true at all. 80%+ of software work is maintenance related. People who have a burning desire for green field development won't last lo

One thing I don't understand about how debt is supposed to "print" money is that each asset dollar is cancelled out by a liability dollar (the debt in question). So if you borrow $(X+k) against an asset worth $X, then you&#x2

Not all states require an SSN in order to issue an ID. I was under the impression that every single state requires an SSN to issue a driver's license or id card in order to track and enforce child support order across state lines. Wh

In software engineering, the figure is much lower than 20%. It is at most 15%. The 20% figure includes anyone within a Tech department in the org chart. This means PMs, UX/UI designers, etc. I don't mean to minimize the level of t

The US patent still exists. Ordinarily, you can sue anyone for anything. Even if the patent was transferred to a Canadian, the patent would still exist and it would still be possible to sue its owners in US court. One major exception to thi

That is highly illegal. The FCRA and related laws are enforced by the FTC, CFPB, and debtors' lawyers. However, forgery is a felony in all 50 states. If they forge your signature and mail it to you from another state, it becomes a fede

California corporate law is much worse than that of Delaware. Corporations are taxed by every state where they have to register to do business. For every corporation with a California HQ, that certainly includes the Golden State. Corporatio

The advice here is very American-centric and cites US law. You should look up the laws in the UK. Letter writing may not have the same punch that it does in the US.
