Why would a company keep doing business with someone that went to their bank and accused that company of fraud? Making a chargeback is a serious claim of malfeasance by the company that has to then be arbitrated by the third party bank. It’

They have not taken this threat seriously. You specifically mentioned militias, but the domestic terror threat is not just militias. Look at this case for example. He has left many threatening voicemails to congress members over several ye

I think it’s larger than you claim. If someone is willing to pay for new, but offered a lower price for used, they will likely pick the used copy. And yea chargebacks aren’t a mechanism for getting a refund. They are essentially a fraud acc

This argument is misleading because even if it’s not the full 7-9, it is certainly greater than 0. We can argue what the exact percentage is, but saying there was 0 lost sales is just as wrong as saying 7-9 lost sales.

And most companies have decided that the fee of opening their entire code base to use a single GPL library isn’t worth it. That is heft license fee if you have invested billions into creating your company’s source code.

Linux system libraries are released under Lesser GPL and/or have exemptions for linking that the general GPL does not have. I worked at $bigtechco$ and anything GPL/AGPL was expressly forbidden by the lawyers.

I find both the geometric and algebraic definitions quoted here unsatisfying. What is a “volume” spanned by a vector space of polynomials or co-tangent functionals? *A* determinate function (not the) is simply a skew symmetric n-linear map

I’d say that’s whataboutism and irrelevant to the discussion on whether Russia is an adversary to the US. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

That’s why the Russian government hacked into a vast amount of US computer networks. No ill intentions there.

It might be because the country is run by a dictator who is intent on crippling the US’s diplomatic and economic power.

The fed were tipped off by an ex. The most telling part of the terrorist attack on the capital is how many family members, coworkers, and acquaintances couldn’t wait to turn them in. There was a story this morning about a wife turning in he

If they have evidence that it’s true (not saying they do), then it doesn’t matter what the original warrant says. Replace government with Apple or Microsoft or Amazon customer data. How fast would you be arrested and sued if you left those

You phrased this as if the only gun owners are NRA members. This may come as a surprise, but Democrats in the south hunt too.

The NRA served as a financial conduit to force the GOP to take more and more extreme positions on gun rights by threatening to fund primary challenges to any republicans who “stepped out of line.” The have successfully wielded this power to

Yea that’s pretty much the only way. Mercy Ships is a major charity that does similar. And to the commenter who mentioned the trump foundation, it was charged with fraud, fined $2M, and dissolved. So probably not a great example. https:&#x

Except for financially dubious start-ups, getting laid off at a tech company comes with a fairly nice severance package. Dropbox, for example, is giving 3 months salary, Q1 equity, and 100% of 2020 bonuses.
