Because the point of the contempt charge is to compel someone to obey a court order or ruling. So yes, demonstrating that you cannot comply is generally a relevant defense. I don’t see any evidence he ever attempted to make that claim.

Did he make the claim that he wasn’t capable when he appealed the contempt ruling?

Assuming fiduciary duty didn’t exist, what would the claim be in the lawsuit about morally distasteful business choices? Generally I’m not aware of any civil claim that would let shareholders sue over bad morals.

If you type your name and address into the HN comment box and hit submit, you have opted in to having your address visible in a comment on HN. The ham registration is the same. Before you can take the test to get licensed, you have to go to

This isn't a Show HN, and also I think you mean "lowered" given the tone of your post. It's also been on the front page for most of the day on its own merits. It's clear you don't like the article. The guidelin

It’s not clear what you’re trying to say. Nobody’s arguing that 3rd parties blocking ASs, ISPs, regions, etc is fun for the people who get blocked. But that doesn’t somehow create a civil case against your ISP for not acting in response to

Oh. Now the imaginary gate is “research”?

Say more about how licensing my code as MIT would be unfair.

by akerl_ 8mo ago
In the scenario you’re describing, when I write my own code, I am limited in what license I can pick for that code because of licensing choices other people made.

Why do we need to gatekeep “homelab”?

by akerl_ 8mo ago
I don’t see any way for that to work out. Your ISP is not responsible for ensuring that the connection they give you works to access any particular sites (see, for example, all the sites that already implement geo-fencing to block or alter

I would agree with this. Markdown by definition is a markup language that’s designed to be easily read/written and also rendered. There’s nothing wrong with showing markdown unrendered, but it’s odd to claim it was “meant to be” unre

The thread is about the code in the std lib being a huge amount of work because the code in the std lib needs to be kept working with new language releases. And then you answered about downstream code breakage totally outside the std lib.

They have opt-in consent: it’s a known part of the US ham licensing process that the database is public and searchable, and nobody is forced to get a ham license. In fact, several of the questions on the ham test involve the fact that you c

You’re making the same mistake the EFF’s post wants you to make. Employees were trained on how to identify and respond to CSAM. The training material was not released based on the FOIA request. That doesn’t imply that the employees were pok

To be defamation in the US they'd generally need to be false statements of fact. "John is a bad person, and you shouldn't hire him" wouldn't be defamation.

The title here seems both editorialized and inaccurate? They’re asking for IDs as an anti-fraud measure, not an age check.

.gitignore is the officially recommended way to do this: https://archive.kernel.org/oldwiki/git.wiki.kernel.org/index...
388.
by akerl_ 8mo ago
No. Use a .gitignore instead of .gitkeep. Instead of checking in build/.gitkeep, check in build/.gitignore.
389.
by akerl_ 8mo ago
The idea is that instead of adding a nonsense file, you use the native .gitignore functionality. ".gitkeep" is just a human thing; it would work the same if you called it ".blahblah". So their pitch is that if you want t

Maybe we should start issuing CVEs for all bugs that might negatively impact the security of a system.
