"The empirical study of the practice of the law in India is an exercise in the suspension of disbelief." Which is why it is difficult to craft a remote-intellectual-property policy that involves proprietary source code on the grou

"Indeed, I’ve probably already spent more time on the historical backstory of Broken Sword here than it deserves..." Not at all. What a great review of a beloved sub-genre. Sometimes I think about re-reading Foucault's Pendul

There are a lot of companies, small and medium, without enough revenue or funding to pay employee salaries, given reasonable budgeting into the next several quarters. This is as real as it gets.

I see your point, but in defense of the metaphor: in your world, we have 1 and 1 but they are not equal.

This joke may not be funny, feel free to downvote: were you expecting more from the pandemic?

You have it nailed: they offer low-churn products. Atlassian is well-managed. Their revenue is fine. Their cash flow management is good. Their compensation plan is effective at retaining employees--the stock employees receive is likely to b

I think you're right. I'd love to see a BRICS-oriented data protection law for the US, for example.

It is a mistake for people in the EU and US to think of Chinese-based data collection companies as the same as EU- and US-based companies. TikTok in the US is not the same as Google in France, and even they were recently fined for signifcan

TikTok is a spectacular example of both human- and democracy-hacking. It's like an authoritarian regime saw facebook in 2012 and said, "hold my beverage of choice."

I believe there was a spike. Check out the flatline for Asian murders per 100,000. I am surprised, given the amount of Asian hate that is being reported.

It begs: how many people find themselves weaving webs of lies in places like Wikipedia to keep their personas/identities intact?

It is a tremendously valuable list to convicts and gangs who want to know where all the judges and correctional officers' families live.

The article was right and you are wrong. To be clear, the AG wanted to make public the elements of permits that are public. The AG made technical mistakes that led to private information being leaked. That's why the site is now offline

I don't think you are right. Can you list the names, addresses, and phone numbers of the judges in California that have guns? Because without this data, I'm curious how you are going to answer such a question.
