I had the Matrox Marvel G200-TV I think in the late nineties. That graphics card was a beauty. It even let me watch TV on my computer as long as I threaded a coax cable up to my bedroom!

One political party created the free IRS Direct File program, a popular new technology that allowed anyone to file their taxes directly with the IRS. The other political party dismantled IRS Direct File immediately upon taking power. Imho,

I do this, more or less, for my small law firm. Employee and client information are stored in Recfiles and accessed with GNU Recutils. Adding or changing is a pull request, and all sorts of GitHub actions run. Works pretty well!

To please Trump, Instacart fired my pregnant wife Lisa in a cowardly and cruel way because she dared to run for office as a Democrat. Instacart's leadership will try to obfuscate what happened, but Lisa has the truth on her side. I am

a16z and certain Sequoia partners specifically supported this during the 2024 election. If haphazard, cruel dismantling of state capacity bothers you, avoid raising money from venture capital firms that supported it.

I get it, your perspective is totally fair. Part of the reason Democrats care only about donors (the Israel lobby is one of those donors) is because of the influence of money in politics, which is a direct result of Citizens United. If they

This can be fixed with sane campaign finance laws. Every elected Democrat I know is willing to enact those if Citizens United is overruled. And every Democratic-appointed Justice on the Supreme Court would vote to overturn Citizens United.

Isn't it a property of infinity? If pi goes on infinitely without repeating itself, every possible combination of numbers appears somewhere in pi. It's sort of like the idea that if the universe is infinitely big and mass and ener

This is a really hard problem, and kudos to you for trying to tackle it. Time tracking narratives can be so different from practice area to practice area and also as a function of the size of the firm. Often, it also comes down to the idios

I've spent a lot of time looking into this for non-profits I am involved in. Currently, I use Mailgun's Mailing List feature which is pretty good, but has a few warts and doesn't really seem to be in active development. But I

I needed this for expensing receipts that come via email. I created an API for it where you POST the email to an endpoint and get back a PDF. Email me and I’ll give you access for free.

My law practice [0] started as a side project from an errant Hacker News comment years ago, and now it’s my primary source of income. At the time I was an in house lawyer, and then a software engineer, and things just kind of snowballed fro

In most states in the United States, if someone dies without a will and without anyone ascertainable in the line of intestate succession, the assets of the decedent escheat to the state. So, if the person lived in California when they passe

This would be a sea change in Virginia politics, which are dominated by Dominion Energy, the local regulated utility. I've always felt it that it was wrong for a regulated utility to have so much influence in the Commonwealth. If I&#x2

None of this is legal advice, but I'm a student of negotiable instruments like checks and the history they have in our system of law and finance. Checks are negotiable instruments governed by UCC Article 3, which has been adopted in al

One of the tough things about a party-controlled, self-hosted e-signature is that it becomes easier to repudiate because a party to the contract has custody of the platform. The non-custodial party can claim they never signed, and when the

I've drafted many severance clauses in my career to avoid the common law default of "the contract stands or falls together." They are put there by lawyers, usually for good reason when you have two represented parties negotia

I think a good middle ground solution would be to prohibit “severance” clauses as a matter of public policy in Terms of Service. Severance clauses say that if any part of the terms are struck down for any reason, the rest of the agreement s
