As a putative member of the plaintiff class, I feel my interests are far better aligned with GitHub than the representative plaintiffs. Unfortunately I am aware of no way to take such a position before the court to prevent class certificati

As a casual but high-volume observer of US legal proceedings (read: I follow IJ, FIRE, Volokh, etc.), I can confidently say that trial courts are garbage at applying the law. They mostly just do whatever feels right to them.

Bulletproof is pretty dangerous stuff though. Granted, I never had any issues with it when I was using it to write rent checks monthly, but I think long term it's likely to require a carpet replacement or two!

Sibling and parent pointers are almost universally a sign that an abstract data structure (and associated algorithm) has been mistaken for concrete. The exception that comes to mind first is Knuth's dancing links, and its obscurity is
