Plenty of other countries allow conviction by simple or supermajorities. I'm far from a punitive-justice kind of person, but arguing that a single dissenting juror should be sufficient to acquit strikes me as not at all obvious. As lon

In this post alone you've written, what, four times as many words as the length you read into the article? This is peak HN. Edit: I take it back. What's peak HN is that this is the top voted comment on the entire post.

I think the key point is that it becomes "appropriation"--vs cultural mixing or exchange--when the ideas are removed of their source context and used in a way that is contrary or even disrespectful of their original intent. I&#x27

As a nitpick, TLS does not indicate the sender of the email. You can try using different terms, but the standard terminology in the mail space is "envelope From" vs "header From", as I used above. These are different thi

I don't think that's the core disagreement at all. You're being too unspecific about what "from" you are talking about. :) All the YouTube.com DKIM signature says is that YouTube.com did in fact author this content.
