One of the rules of Mario Maker is that in order to post a level, the creator has to clear it, to make sure that all posted levels are possible. But the creator of this level admit…

StingRay is a brand name. The generic term is IMSI catcher. Basically a portable fake cell tower law enforcement can carry around that will capture the identities of every phone in…

Even beyond ramping up a new project, it can be important for maintaining existing ones. If a service outage costs a company millions of dollars a minute, it can be worth it to kee…

Then it's a derivative work and copyright law covers that too.

There's four ways for code to not be copyrighted (in the US): 1. The author died more than 70 years ago or it was owned by a corporation and it's been 95 years since publication 2.…

U-6's 7.2% is compared to 7.0% in February 2020 and 8.1% in February 2007. So even that is similar to pre-Covid levels and better the the peak before the last recession.

The laws aren't antiquated. The old laws said "manufacturers couldn't sell cars direct if they had any dealers". States then updated them in the last few years to "manufacturers ca…
