I've been using Chartist for the last couple of years for line charts. The ability to style with CSS has been a useful benefit. For example, I have dark/light mode just by setting a class on the body element of the page and this f

At the founding, the Constitution documented all the things that were going to be different, but courts were intended to continue to apply the rest of the common law as it was. So, it's less about being beholden to England's legal

I'm not sure it's that bad. It's still the law in the United States that you cannot claim a religious exemption to a (state) law of general applicability. If the law applies to everyone regardless of religion and was not inte

The law here is not completely developed. The US Supreme Court has not ruled on the extent to which electronic devices of a US person may be searched at a border. In practice, courts have generally allowed manual, cursory searches of electr

I don't know about German law specifically, but damages can be shown in a variety of ways. In the US, courts have recognized publishers of open-source software as receiving value from having made source code available at no charge, suc

That's what ECPA says, but the Fourth Amendment does apply to e-mails as well as ECPA. Today, pretty much no significant commercial e-mail provider is going to give up e-mail contents without a warrant, even when over 180 days old. In
