Generally, when an employer owns your "inventions", this only applies to "inventions" created while using the employer's resources. Most employement contracts will make it sound like they own every waking thought, b

This is largely because up until 1976 the Mormon church didn't allow Black members into its temples or to receive the priesthood (which is an essential step within Mormonism). Imagine joining and/or believing in a church that said

Utah WAS a theological state, which is why the federal government refused their initial requests for statehood. Which also relates to the motivation for Utah to allow woman to vote. Within Mormonism (at the time), polygamy was allowed among

The same thing would happen in the USA too. If you were suspected of hacking into the Democrat or Republican party websites, the FBI would come and confiscate your computers and hold onto them until after your trial had finished. This would

I do agree, that ultimately there are several deductions that can reduce the taxes you owe in a given year. But most americans don't have enough of these deductions to make a significant difference. So the ideal solution would be that

To be clear, Lightsail is only "sorta" in the AWS ecosystem. It is in the ecosystem in the sense that it ultimate boots up an EC2 instance. It is essentially a simplified skin on top of EC2 where AWS makes most of the decisions fo
