He was ordered to not post on social media "without exception". If that order was not lawful, and it wasn't, he should not be in the brig.

Sure, but "without exception" is definitely overbroad. The fact that they define limits, in fact, means he still had the right because the limits would not need to be defined if the right did not exist for him.

No, it does not supersede his rights, especially when the order he disobeyed was unlawful. In fact, you can get punished in some cases where you obey unlawful orders. Source: I've been in the military.

It is wrong, yes, as far as I know. Otherwise, members of the military would effectively not be citizens. Otherwise, they couldn't run for office (which they are allowed to, but in order to take office, they have to resign). Otherwise,

I've been in the military. As far as I know, the order was unlawful because the First Amendment still applies to members of the military. They cannot tell him to stop using his right to free speech "without exception".

Just because COVID is impeded does not mean the mask is effective. The mask might impede COVID by 1% and carbon dioxide by 0.5%. That means the mask is 99% not effective against COVID, but a model I created [1] shows that even the 0.5% impe

Agreed, and it's even more insane when you consider the fact that the lockdowns increased the comorbidity of obesity among children!

To add to the sibling comment, which is correct, I actually created a model [1] that showed that any impedance leads to the air behind a mask eventually stabilizing at half oxygen and half carbon dioxide. This means that any mask will eve

I think you are correct, but I also hope people still have good detectors for such underhanded tactics. I could be wrong, though. But even if they do it, and it turns out the product is not good, customers won't come back. That'

Not GP. There are serious objections to masks: they make people more anonymous (which is hard on everyone, but especially kids), they increase carbon dioxide intake, and the ones people generally use may not be effective against something

For the number of children in America, those numbers are tiny. Really. And do we have the data on the comorbidities those children had?

That's true, but the word-of-mouth I am talking about is different. I'm talking about word-of-mouth where actual customers of the business decide of their own free will to tell people how good it is. I don't think that's

I'm actually working on a VCS based on this idea and on tracking changes to binary files based on their structure as well. (It turns out that the same techniques work for both.) AMA and please give me feedback!

It would be hard, but word-of-mouth. Growing a business organically was never easy, and never will be. However, there are things you can do to short circuit it in good ways. My wife went to business school with a woman who started a breakfa

Not saying you're wrong, but... The district I am in does that, and they cannot find enough drivers at all.

I'd love to get benefits. Curious: does your district have a shortage too? If not, maybe the benefits make the difference?

Replying to say that yes, you are absolutely correct. I spoke quite definitely when there were other options, and you rightly called me out for it.

I trained as a school bus driver, and I agree with both of you, but especially the dealing with children part. I quit my job as a bus driver on my second day because I was stressed out about hurting kids. (Yes, I know school buses are among

Those are good points. Is there any way to have an open source license that protects history?

Yes, I think your comment adds a lot to mine. Licensing of version control history might need to have a legal debate, actually.

by ghoward 5y ago
I don't think it could have been "just missed" when the license and his history were stripped from the code.

Upvoted your for good points. However... I think it's a false goal if it comes before correctness. Auditability is great, but it's kinda useless to say, "Yep, I know your code is wrong." Unfortunately, it seems to be Rob
