It’s probably fully recorded. Everything in and out.

That way if there’s a mishap it’s possible to go back and reconstruct the entire sequence or to replay high fidelity simulations of the network traffic at the equipment to reproduce problems.

The North Atlantic area is defined in an expansive, but not unlimited, manner. The treaty defines the North Atlantic area as:

• all of North America
• The Atlantic ocean, including islands, north of the Tropic of Cancer
• the “home” territory of any European member.

So, Turkey is at the extreme flank of the area, by having a bit of core territory in Europe. All of Turkey’s territory is covered, though, even the parts not in Europe.

Palestine is not eligible to join the alliance, because its territory is not in Europe or North America.

Some other tidbits: Guam, Hawaii, the Falkland Islands, Reunion, and the British Indian Ocean Territory are all examples of member territories that are not protected because they fall outside the North Atlantic area.

No. This isn’t a NATO thing. NATO is pretty much only concerned with the security of the North Atlantic area.

After recognising the state of Palestine, these countries can proceed to exchange ambassadors with Palestine.

I think they previously announced it would happen on a deadline if certain conditions were not met. And now it appears that those conditions were not met.

GCC in particular comes with the Runtime Library Exception to the GPL. The exception carves out runtime code from the GPL vital licensing condition, and it doesn’t require software compiled by GCC to attribute back to GCC.

So there’s no legal reason to copy in the GPL text into this notice on account of GCC.

Yes, do convey GPL text if you’re also conveying LGPL text.

UPDATE: An anonymous white house official told the New York Times that the situation is not as fast moving as the above interpretation suggests. The administration intends to apply the fee to new applications only, regardless of what the stupid proclamation actually says.

This goes into effect in around 24 hours. It looks like it’s gonna be as chaotic as the Muslim travel ban. You’re gonna have some H1Bs that have already started their air travel right now. And they’re gonna show up on Sunday after a long flight, and customs is gonna ask them to pony up 100 grand on the spot at the airport or get deported.

The petit jury nullification is coming. You’ve got defendants in DC insisting on their speedy trial rights because they want to get themselves on front of a jury right now in the present moment.

The judge gave them a page limit, too.

Legally, this seems similar to the situation with Biden talking to social media companies to “stifle” vaccine misinformation. Federal courts intervened in that and limited what that admin could do.

Although it’s pretty clear that Biden was on the wrong side of Calvinball Rule #2 in the Roberts court.

Woody Guthrie is estimated to have written more than 1000 songs, but probably most of them are like this: lyrics on lined notebook paper. Every now and then an artist has the privilege to dig into the archives and pull one out and arrange and record it.

Charlie Kirk was supposed to be of the maga faction that supported Israel. Why would Bibi want to whack him?

There was a book a while back called Guns, Germs, and Steel that delves into this topic.

The root cause, as I understand it, is that Europe is on a continent oriented east-west instead of north-south. And Europe in particular is on the part of that continent that has a lot of easy access to the sea.

East-west orientation allows you to transplant plants and animals long distances and keep them at roughly the same latitudes, which means roughly the same climate. That is a big boon for spreading “civilized” agriculture, which is what creates surplus of labor, which creates non food jobs that advance technology.

Among the common 5-7 domesticated food animals people eat today, all but one or two were domesticated in Mesopotamia, but then spread all over Europe.

Access to the sea is the other component that turns tech advantage into colonialism, because it gives the transportation. Even today, China and Russia are great powers, but they are forced to be continental powers instead of maritime powers, because nearly all of their coast lines are hemmed in by narrow seas that are easy to blockade.

There are, of course, a bunch of other factors I’m not even thinking about and competing opinions. But I don’t for one second think that any of this has anything to do with European “innate intelligence” or skin color.

Yep, straight to SCOTUS.

The thing that makes the outcome suspenseful is that Gorsuch and Kavanaugh have been signalling “but not the Fed” when they’re attacking agency independence. Probably because they have stock portfolios.

So it seems like they may try to carve some distinction that saves the Fed from the same fate as the FTC, CFPB, NRLB, and merit protection board. It’s not at all clear what’s that might be.

How’s that reunification of Ireland going?

The Pennsylvania charge is for an illegal gun.

“Groyper” is a corruption of goy / goyim, right? A Yiddish word for non-Jews.

So is it fair to say that most of the 26 character message was on the shell casing, rather than the bullet itself?

The deal with Utah is it’s actually only 40% Mormon. And when you have a bunch a kids growing up in the Mormon church, a decently large number of them will crash out. And when they crash out, they tend to crash out pretty hard.

So Utah has large communities for various countercultures and alternative lifestyles. You can visit a random business, and often find both types working together side by side. And it is usually quite obvious which is which from external signs.

Just to be clear, even a small check fraud is a “crime of moral turpitude” that allows a green card holder to be deported. There is a legal definition of “moral turpitude” that maybe doesn’t match up with people’s normal intuition.

Any presidential administration since 2015 could have legally started deportation proceedings against this woman. But only this current administration has actually done so.
