Sounds like you're using "Home" view. You can switch to "latest Tweets" view, which would eliminate 4, 5, 6, and 10 from your list.

What you say is mostly true, but in the case of sound recordings from before 1972, it's actually the opposite. At the time such recordings were made, they were subject to an infinite copyright term! The Music Modernization Act [1] pass

You expect the company to be worth $10b at some point in the future, but the question to be answered is how much you think the company is worth today. Let's say you think the company is worth $10m now, which makes your stock worth $10k

Dilution is a red herring. It doesn't change the value of your shares (theoretically). What will matter is how the company spends the funds that it raises, and whether it does so in a way that generates a positive or negative return on

Except that Service Worker support is a prerequisite for supporting the standard Push API, and push notifications are probably the most common usage of Service Workers. So it's a reasonable question.

Fair enough, but it seems arbitrary and capricious to single out debt collection as the one and only business function that you're not allowed to outsource. Just like accounting, payroll, advertising, lawyering, etc., it requires a spe

No, bonuses are taxed at the same rate as salary. The withholding calculations are different, so you tend to have a bigger chunk taken out of your bonus check. But if that chunk is greater than your actual tax rate, you'll get the diff

Neither of the Craigslist cases reached an appellate level. They were only district court decisions, so as I understand it, they only have persuasive value when applied to other cases. The judge in this case mentioned Craigslist v. 3Taps ,

We can hope that this case will set a legal precedent, but it may, like the Craigslist case, end in a settlement (or some other disposition) before that point is reached.

In general, a more specific law trumps a more general law, and a later law trumps an earlier enacted law. So the more specific rule of "States may ask for SSN's for tax purposes" would override the general rule of "State
