I’m speaking from ignorance but isn’t the server backend often licensed and they couldn’t release it if they wanted, even as binaries? Granted, going forward they’d have to make those considerations before they accept restrictive licenses in core parts of their game. And the market for those licenses will change accordingly. So there core of your argument is correct.

In this case they’re trying to sue the government itself which has sovereign immunity, not qualified. Congress passed a law that allowed some channels past that sovereign immunity but the courts have been very conservative as to how it’s interpreted. That’s the federal torts claims act. One of the key things it doesn’t cover is intentional torts. So if someone though negligence hit you in the mouth and knocked the teeth out, you can sue. If, by contrast, they did it through malice and battery you cannot but you can break through their personal qualified immunity if you could prove malice. Good luck

Applicability of the federal torts act to sovereign immunity is always a good point of discussion.

Getting a liberal with ethics. Good luck.

A definitive defeat now would permanently end his career as a politician

Based on the results reported that’s already in the bag. There’s no doubt he can’t govern with what his current support looks like.

I guess I’m a train now.

They often keep that shit in tanks outside, particularly depleted(figuring out what to do with depleted uranium hexafluoride is often a challenge and the US has a truly staggering amount of full tanks just sitting around waiting to leak). Once it hits air you get hydrofluoric acid gas which will spread thanks to the explosion and will kill you in small concentrations(as low as 30 ppm). It’s awful and blowing it up to spread it everywhere is even more awful. The only thing worse would be bombing a purex plutonium reprocessing plant. That is just as toxic in different ways but you can make the tanks go prompt critical thanks to changing it’s geometry and it has actual fission products you can spread around. Those reprocessing plants were a main plank in how north Korea got their bomb.

I wouldn’t care about radiation. I’d care about aresolized uranium hexafluoride though. A toxic acidic reactive heavy metal gas? Delicious. It’s more dangerous than weapons grade uranium by a mile.

Upon activating my emergency lights and sirens, the vehicle tapped on its brakes several times, but it continued to proceed without stopping for approximately 30 seconds, despite having several safe, lit areas to pull over

Fucking cops just like to make up absolute bullshit to justify their stops and searches sometimes.

I’m glad this project has been forked. I really want to see the direction other developers go with it

U.S. Rep. Don Bacon, who represents Omaha, said the warrant was in relation to stolen identities. Bacon said Glenn Valley is “a victim in this as well” and said the company used E-Verify, an identity verification tool.

Fuck you. That company was under no illusion what their workforce looked like. Fucking stolen identity. Oh no they’re paying social security taxes that they can never claim! What will we do.

Man I’d rather you post something in Dutch than that cancerous AI source. It might even be more readable.

Owning a horse is like owning a boat. It’s not going to grant you happiness.

You’ll find you get much more engagement here either as a poster or a commenter.

That’s close to what Scalia/Thomas argued but that’s not what the majority opinion says. They explicitly say you always have the ability to plead the fifth and have it not be used as evidence. And it’s true. You never have to self incriminate. But their argument is you have to make it explicit, which is frankly dumb.

The amount of lurkers would surprise you.

That’s the trick. An example is the am I being detained thing. A clock of reasonableness starts ticking as soon as you’re detained until the detention is considered a potentially unlawful arrest, but that detention doesn’t start until the officer tells you you can’t leave. Also a cop has to have a valid reason to detain you or anything you say will be inadmissible in court. Until you ask that magic phrase, though, you’re having a consensual encounter and everything you say(or not say) will always be admissible.

The US supreme Court has decided that remaining silent isn’t actually asserting your fifth amendment right to remain silent. You need to actually affirm it. Nobody’s even pretending there’s logic to this shit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinas_v._Texas

Anticompetitive structures in South Korea? I am shocked.

I’d prefer an icon of a toilet.
