Up to the jury. Jury nullification is a possibility. If I was on the jury I would vote to acquit (of course for that reason I wouldn't end up on the jury).

That is very interesting, I didn't know about it. I feel like the capital requirement still means that it isn't for "labor" though. For instance, can people using that program get jobs? I wish my country, and others, wou

Steve, really great work, I've appreciated all your efforts as I've played around with Rust as it approaches 1.0. I think this kind of really deep treatment of an important topic belongs somewhere in the introductory docs. I esp

That's true, now that I live in Montana I'm much more inclined to vote because we have ballot initiatives and competitive parties. Previously I lived in Illinois where most parts of the state are single-party and there are no ball

Hilarious how the GOP spends half its time screaming wildly about Obama trying to become a dictator and the other half of its time signing over constitutional powers to him. To say nothing of the Democrats who spent eight years under Bush c

Provided you can afford to pay the property taxes on the newly valuable house. Otherwise, the second option is off the table. I think that's important because we're not talking about the leisure class here, we're talking abou

Why? It was probably pressure from the investors that drove them to do it. You can't say to someone "get this done no matter the cost" and then expect to be held blameless when they do something shady. It's kind of like

Ironically, doesn't Homebrew build everything from source? So in that case it would end up installing the Rust compiler before building the application... What you want is a binary download, it seems.

The economy wasn't blown up because an M&A or bond issue went bad. I don't think anyone seriously believes that "banks are bad", I think they (myself included) tend to think that "the banks we have are bad"

That was my point, I don't see how anyone can say, with a straight face, that a protester taking a foreign donation is "dangerous". It is just an absurd excuse for the politicians to do what they want to do for their own, les

I don't see how that can possibly be taken seriously when, in the US at least, politicians openly take donations and swear allegiance to foreign interests. Additionally, if money leads directly to terrorism, then why not also investiga

Read the second link in my original post. The way it worked out, basically, is that the German banks could lend to Greeks at very, very low real rates, but because inflation was higher in Greece / Spain / Portugal than in Germany,

I'm sorry, I realize that you're asking for clarification, but it is really frustrating to keep hearing this kind of crap. Greece the country didn't borrow all (or even most) of that money, private borrowers borrowed it from

I suspect the trend is much more prevalent among higher-income and better-educated individuals (not necessarily the same group). It is also important to note that "all natural" is not an FDA regulated statement, therefore it is ef

But it doesn't matter how developers build software today. When RMS started, software developers used (largely) closed IDEs, operating systems, compilers, etc. His principles are an entirely separate matter and he has stated over and

But RMS has never really been pragmatic in the sense I think you mean here. RMS is the spiritual leader, other people have always done a lot of the implementation. When the principles collide with the ability to do some specific thing, RM

The idea that "work" is somehow good and noble is outdated, and serves only to trap workers into undesirable situations for the profit of the capitalist class. Work isn't noble, it's just something we do so that we can d

That's nonsensical. It all depends on the utility of the smoker. Cigarette taxes are, in theory at least, Pigouvian taxes in the sense that the goal is to reduce the harm caused by smoking. They accomplish this in two ways, first, by p
