Walter OlsonIrecently recommended a piece intwoinstallments by financial technology blogger Patrick McKenzie, in particular a section on how laws against lying to banks enable (and are meant to enable) prosecutors togo after offenses unrelated to banking.

Regulators, in particu...

(The bottom of the mountain is a normal sodium level.)But, to be safe, you must follow the “sodium speed limit”: a rise in sodium of 8 every 24 hours. (If you exceed this “sodiu...

How the Market, Not Government, Regulates Cryptocurrency Crimes
Nicholas Anthony andIvane NachkebiaWhile policymakers have been busy formulatingsweeping changes and regulators have been busydebating jurisdiction, some participants in the cryptocurrency industry have been busy regulating the space themselves. And considering that all too often the word “regulation” follows the word “government,” we shouldn’t be too quick to overlook the fact that the market too is capable of creating a level of order and regularity. In the case of cryptocurrency, part of this effort to create order and regularity has taken the form of countless individuals and organizations seeking to com...

Psychology Around the Net: September 23, 2017
Don’t let the picture fool you! If you’re dealing with depression, you might want to cut back on counting sheep and take a look at what sleep deprivation can do to help your moods (says some research).
Also, keep going for a look at how psychology training might benefit entrepreneurs more than business training, why getting angry every now and then is a good thing, the psychology behind paying so much money for an iPhone (or any product you don’t expect to cost that much), and more.
Sleep Deprivation Might Be the Antidote for Depression: Well, this is…anything but snooze worthy. According to an ana...

weekend warriors

But the reason I need to get my kids out of the house on weekends is the same reason you need to walk your dogs. Well, maybe not i...

Where Do K-1 Visa Holders Come From?
Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik were killed last week in a gun battle with police after they committed a mass shooting in San Bernardino, California. Malik entered the U.S. on a K-1 visa, known as the fiancé visa, accompanied by Farook. Their attack is the first perpetrated by somebody on the K-1 visa - igniting a debate over increasing visa security.
The government issued approximately 262,162 K-1 visas from 2005 to 2013 – 3177 or 1.21 percent of the total to Pakistani citizens.
Senator Rand Paul’s (R-KY) SECURE Act identifies 34 countries as particularly terror-prone. There were 32,363 K-1 visa, 12.34 pe...
