Unix was at first a quite different experience, I think. The Bell Labs Unix had only a few utilities, each one was simple, and the documentation was good. There's a nice relevant quote: "Cat went to Berkeley, came back waving flag

I am not any kind of lawyer, but here's my interpretation: The usage of "legal" in this thread is highly misleading: partly erroneous and partly just a red herring. You are right about the USA national law, but that's th

Your comment is interesting and informative for sure, but I don't understand why do you think that the Court finally taking up more difficult cases is a bad thing?

You are equating right with might and dressing this up in pseudo-legalism.

The top-level commenter is ignoring the fact that the Rome Statute, which set up the ICC legally, gives the Court power to prosecute crimes that happened on Rome Statute party territory. The issue here is just that the US Government is powe

You misunderstood: the US government is the suspected "criminal" in this case.

Another perspective: if a US citizen, or a criminal organization that includes US citizens were suspected of committing a serious crime abroad, you would presumably have no problem with them being prosecuted (and not by the US). The main di

The commenter you are replying to was probably referring to the Messenians, which were Spartan helots for a long time, but not forever. I don't really like your "one successful slave revolt" statement, because it depends on t

This just talks about the case with the rape, but there was also one with a murder that SCOTUS decided on the same day, and it was based on the same question of whether the reservation still exists: https://en.wikipedia.org/

Having both switch and if/elif allows writing code with less redundancy in it (unnecessary keywords and variables can be elided by choosing one selection construct over the other).

The point is how moneyed and powerful interests align, leveraging technical expertise to target specific investigative reporters, members of civil society, etc.; with the goal of killing democracy.
