State law in the state where I live defines the unorganized militia without regard to sex. At least the 7th circuit agrees with you, (United States v. Meza-Rodriguez) even if there…

The second amendment is one of the few exceptions rather than the rule. It is difficult to argue for inclusion in "the people" who have the right to bear arms when excluded from se…

The Bill of Rights makes no distinction between citizens and non-citizens in its text. It says that rights belong to people, not exclusively to citizens of the several States. The …

Why does your citizenship status matter? The right to domestic travel within the United States is enjoyed equally by everyone within the US.

The singular only version of "they" is "they", just like the singular only version of "you" is "you". "You" was formerly plural, with "thou" as singular, but "thou" has since falle…

Have you considered that someone who chooses "it/its" as its pronouns is intentionally trying to break the English language with said choice? In this case, it is Swiss, and therefo…

"I find most, if not all, passages in the works of Sir Thomas Browne to be thoroughly delightful." It's not hard to address double negatives.

SMTP is to Postfix as ActivityPub is to Mastodon. If you're not technical enough to care about the distinction between protocol and implementation (as most users are not), then the…

I grew up in Toronto and relied primarily on public transit growing up. As a kid, I would have a good mental model of the area around a subway station but as soon as we went underg…

It's better to give some rebate. Say the poverty line for an individual is $12,000 and sales tax is 10%. If you want to exempt 1.5x poverty spending from the tax, it is better to g…

EMC, then already a public company, acquired VMware in 2004. EMC took VMware public in 2007 when it sold 15% of its stake in an IPO. EMC acquired Pivotal Labs in 2012. Months later…

Any US legal entity (corporation, LLC, etc.) formed in one of the 50 states is required to have a registered agent in its state of formation. The primary purpose of said registered…

If so much mail is sent between the sponsoring organisations that the aggregate hit rate will be approximately 100%, then wouldn't approximately 100% of mail be sent over the TLS o…

even those who post constantly are more aware than people just a few years ago about how much information the internet is absorbing about us. I'm about 10 years older than the auth…

I was responding to this question: If you have a project that you didn't care enough to write cleanly, or even document in the most bare minimum of ways (a helpful README to contex…

I've been programming for years and I've had a GitHub account for about as long. Almost every piece of code I've ever written that wasn't for an employer or a school assignment has…

I don't understand why Microsoft would acquire Canonical. Microsoft already has an operating systems business in Windows. I don't see any obvious synergies with other lines of busi…

Trademark law functions as an extension of laws against fraud. It really doesn't have much to do with copyrights nor patents.

I'm mostly concerned about the ammonia used during the process. The ammonia is used to kill off germs due to contamination. Maybe we should just throw away contaminated animal by-p…

If by "modern internet", you mean TCP/IP, then no. You'd need a circuit-switched network to do that, and those are all obscure/niche networks except for the Public Switched Telepho…

I really hope you haven't been neglecting to fill out form 5471 and form 8938 based on a misunderstanding of reporting requirements. FBAR requirements are separate and distinct fro…

Is this the kind of thing which has tax consequences? Interesting thought experiment for a US expat setting up a local corporation: at what step in the process does FATCA actually …

There are typically laws that deem a company to be related to a person if that person and their (natural) relatives own some threshold percentage of that company.

Office 365 licenses are reported with traditional Office licenses. It is an entirely separate unit from Cloud revenue. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Investor/earnings/FY-2018-Q4.…

It is probably similar to the police seizing your keys or combinations for locks to a storage unit and you changing the lock on the storage unit. The police can just go to google o…
