With a fixed exchange rate, the choice of currency does not matter for Benford’s law.
Benfords’s law states that for many real-life numbers x, log(x) is uniform.
Converting to another currency using exchange rate E, so that y = E*x, yields log(y) = log(E) + log(x). This corresponds to a shift of the distribution of log(x) and does not change how uniform the distribution is.
However, if the exchange rate varies with prices, then it will matter.
The currency against which BTC is exchanged the most is very likely the one that shows the best fit (most perfect market). Assuming that currency is the USD I expect any other currency would result is an even worst fit
You can have high salary and still be indebted. Also you don't have to discuss salary to negotiate how much they would like to earn as an extra (and that may not even be money). I don't buy it, that doesn't make sense.
well i think the defense lawyer was a bit disingenuous. I guess the only step should have been to confirm the agreement with the girl, forward it to troll and then tell them you have a license so get lost or see you in court. But it looks like they didn't go to court at all...
IIRC, so long as you made a settlement offer early on in the process for some low value, from that point onwards if the case eventually gets decided in the defendant's favor or even if it doesn't but the judgement awarded is less favorable than the settlement offer, then the plaintiff is liable for any legal fees after the settlement. There have been plaintiffs that won in court, were awarded a judgement, but wound up having to pay more to the defendant than what the judgement was even for. It's a rule 68 offer of judgment that triggers this fee shifting and is meant to disincentivize pointless litigation after a reasonable settlement offer has been made.
Interesting... I've never heard of this and none of our lawyers in frivolous lawsuits have brought it up. (Although none of the cases have gone to trial...)
It would only apply in federal court, there are nuances surrounding the fact that the offer must have been unilaterally better than the actual judgement (i.e. if the offer came with an NDA attached, the judgement probably wouldn't). Here's a great video going over a case where this happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSs5bQGxpas
Trolls adore it when people settle out of court - but the cost of occasionally bankrupting people to scare everyone else into compliance tends to be accepted.
Bear in mind that a lot of times the patent troll either has a practicing lawyer on staff or has an intimate relation with one - so they're considering the cost of labour rather than the market rate.
You can hire a lawyer just to give you advice. You don’t have to retain the lawyer for the case. In a lot of cases retaining a lawyer only ends up costing 10-15 hours of their time and if you’re going to court anyways add there fees to your court costs in the counter suit.
Notice how title and screenshot doesn't match. Reality is that google wants to know where you want to go before deciding how much you will be paid. Google always try to get data before giving any...
That's not true. The tool shows the comp change prior to the final application submission. Individual people can plug in hundreds of cities across the US to parse out the multipliers.
A kg of gold is a kg of gold anywhere. So yes if you want to know the value of a currency you need to compare it to something else, USD not being an exception.
Not really different, it's leveraging users from a product to another. Gmail and Windows users are both stuck and forcefully promoted "unrelated" products (specific ads tied to OS/website so not easily blockable).
