I'm pretty sure what's being alleged is that there is real data exfiltrated from his devices on the laptop, but the laptop itself wasn't his. As in he was hacked, someone created the laptop with that data and added manipulations to it, then coincidently dropped it off to be "found".

Given the lack of proper chain of custody, it's probably likely.

OSHA still requires reasonable water breaks. This law doesn't override that. If you aren't allowed one, report them.

That just means every member of congress is an insurrectionist because they have just as much or more power to change that.

It is not insurrection in either todays definition or the 14ths contemporary definition, and that would be slapped down.

Hey, I love that they added the effect of his clothes dropping off him the first time he shape-shifts after regaining his shape-shifting abilities.

Mainly because JavaScript was designed to work along side HTTP in a browser. Most of its input will be text, so defaulting common behavior to strings makes some sense.

Is it a farce, though? Isn't more like they want to make it a farce, just like how they are trying to make impeachment a farce?

Array.prototype.sort if no callback is passed to it will coerce non-undefined elements to strings when sorting. It does do that.

To sort numbers passing a function like (a, b) => a - b is good enough.

It was 50k doubling each day. So 50k + 100k + 200k for 3 days, if they had let it keep going it would of hurt a lot. This type of fine works.

At 10 days would be 51 million, after 20 would be 52 billion dollars. So, they have a compelling reason to comply with haste.

Tsukiyaki Western Django has nothing to do with this movement, I think, but it is great seeing a western featuring an all Japanese cast doing lines in English and Quentin Tarantino doing lines in Japanese

From Washington Post:

In the lawsuit, Biden does not concede that the laptop was his, but he does acknowledge that at least “some of the data that Defendants obtained, copied, and proceeded to hack into and tamper with belongs” to him. The lawsuit charges that Biden’s data was “manipulated, altered and damaged before it was copied and sent” to Giuliani and Costello.

He specifically says some of his private data was hacked, he's not saying the laptop they had was his, just they definitely had his private data.

They are laying off people not on strike in response to the strike and blaming those on strike for it.

It's a contract thing called detrimental reliance. As I understand it, basically you relied on a promise to do something only in the event the promise was upheld then it wasn't. It wouldn't hurt to speak to a lawyer for a consultation. I doubt you'd get the job back, but they could be liable for the damages caused by moving.

Why do you hate that it's there? It doesn't matter if it is or isn't, but it seems to bug you.

If it's repeated offenses like the example in the article, it's a little harder to prove it wasn't intentional.

The 1m was confiscated because it was ‘illegal income’, not because he used VPN.

Yes, it’s still shitty that using VPN to access GitHub makes his income illegal

using VPN ... makes his income illegal

Yes, they fine wasn't a flat 1m or whatever, but because he earned it while using a VPN on and off(cuz the great firewall periodically blocks github). None of that would of happened if he didn't use a VPN, so saying that the direct reason he's in trouble isn't why he got punished is less honest.

If your complaint is about how the number was determined, perhaps it would be better as "Chinese programmer ordered to pay entire income(1m yuan) for using Virtual Private Network." Honestly, either headline is fine as long as the details of how that number was chosen is in the article.

Add to it the gun law was declared unconstitutional by the fifth circuit Court of appeals recently, it's likely the only charges he'll be facing are tax related. It's funny because the gun charge was the only thing holding back his plea deal.

The problem is if you play their games like they play them you legitimize everything. If you start cheating like they do, their lies about you become truth and it's all down hill from there.

The only chance the country can be saved is if the electorate wakes up. Part of the country still playing by the rules allows us to be able to go back to all of the government playing by the rules. If they give up on that, there is no coming back.
