This law has nothing to do with intermarriage for Jews. That's effectively prohibited by other existing laws. This law tries to prevent Muslims and Christians living in non-annexed occupied territories from marrying other Muslims and C

This law has existed in different variations since 2002. This law is often challenged at Israel's Supreme Court, but the racist parties usually can get a majority vote in the Parliament to "tweak it" every time to get a few m

Russia is 4 km from the US :) "Oklahoma to Krasnoyarsky Krai" makes sense mathematically but is a weird claim to make.

by rsstack 5y ago
The distance really confused me. I got a distance of 4,353 km between a guess and the answer - which is what you get from Google, but now what you'd say from looking at a map. Border-to-border they are only 250 km apart.

> MS was a supplier to the companies that made and sold computers. They got in trouble for messing with other suppliers. Isn't this only true for the US antitrust case? IIRC the EU antitrust case was similar Apple's situation.

Check out how Erlang/Elixir/BEAM deal with this. Stateful processes write a state-migration function that's run (new code, old state) when hot reloading the process. Requires some forethought, especially when processes can be

That's between you and your accountant (and if caught: lawyer). I don't see an issue with the IRS attempting to enforce the law.

by rsstack 5y ago
First, many of them aren't cash only. Second, a single enforcement mechanism of the IRS isn't supposed to catch all infractions. The IRS, and other federal and state agencies, have other mechanisms than asking Venmo to report tran

People don't like to acknowledge the difference between tax evasion and tax avoidance. Amazon always avoided taxes, which was legal and is still legal. The neighbor kid often evaded taxes, which was illegal and is still illegal - just

This incident has nothing to do with (a)(2) as Marak didn't _access_ any system. The only sections violated are (a)(5) (_knowingly damaging_ a system) and, arguably, (a)(7) (extortion). (a)(7) is a lot harder to argue though as his ext

The precedent doesn't apply. The SCOTUS interpreted (and in effect, defined) that the "authorized access" in 18 U.S.C. § 1030(a)(2) can't be qualified and limited to less access. If I'm authorized to see usernames,

If we're honest about the US justice system, this would be a subjective decision decided by non-technological lawyers, jurors, and judges. The purposeful malicious intent is working hard against his stance.

This isn't like leftpad being deleted: he added an infinite-loop on purpose in a patch release to the package. This is a malicious attack. Only later did he delete packages.
