Mike told me over dinner that he didn't like to sign contracts, and didn't do so with his Crunchpad partners or me, because it gave him an advantage since a) nothing was documented and b) he's a lawyer. I should have known better -- but I

I would be all over it, if the public transportation system was there. It isn't, so I'm not. I looked into how long it would take me to commute via public transportation to work and it was hysterically beyond feasible: http://publictranspo

Yes, but just being accredited by an institution as having been educated in a subject doesn't mean that you are qualified for a job. I'm not saying that it isn't a valid indicator, just that it seems subjective and fuzzy. If some "over-educ

But the current remedy of a non-human legal entity is that the entity can be sued and affect many people adversely who weren't responsible for the wrong. We need a different remedy, like the ability for a citizen to sue every citizen belong
