in palm beach there are clubs that still won't even let jews come as guests to lunch

weirdly enough, trump's mar-a-lago has the most inclusive policies towards members on the island and one of his lawyers was behind suing the clubs that used public property like docks on water to force them to integrate their memberships

I had a big problem with people selling products or religions ignoring my "no soliciting" sign, so around eight years ago I switched it to this sign on the door knob. I'm not a night shift worker.

This has worked with only one person ignoring it in all that time. My thought was that while pushy people will ignore a no soliciting sign, very few want to deal with an angry homeowner they've just awakened. That, and maybe a little pity mixed in. Either way, it's been good.

There's a book called Actual Innocence about people who are incarcerated and there is exculpatory evidence but they can't get released because of the law and appeals process.

By default, the first person to sketch Mickey obtained all rights to reproduction, mimicry, and transformation the moment they put pen to paper. This is pretty close to what you've called "closed", modulo a few exceptions for fair use. In order to turn the Mickey IP into an "open" character, the author would need to draft a license similar to CC-BY-ND.

However, unless they registered their mark with the government, they could only sue for actual damages -- likely to be $0 unless they have a strong history of commercial sales.

I used to get wakened most weekends by religious solicitations until I hung this sign on my door knob a few years ago. Not a single issue since. The message is equally suitable for salespeople and religious proselytizers.

Full disclosure: Am not actually a night shift worker.

Oh, god no. He should read this, and then get a job at a fat-food restaurant.

Actually, his book points out that the donors did give a lot to the hospital and had a much shorter than average wait. Great book: https://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Vice-American-Reporter-Police/dp/0307475298

I’m an organ donor and believe in it, but the system has been manipulated at times.

Law 101 was written for exactly this purpose. I haven't read it, since I went to law school instead, but everyone recommends it.

And it is legal to shoot regular guns at people under some very limited circumstances.

I think you might be missing this: The steel paintballs are not used for the recreational activity of paintball. Typical paintballs do not contain steel.

There are many situations in which it would be legal to shoot a normal paintball at someone but not to shoot a steel-and-rubber paintball at someone.

It's not incredibly well-defined. Here's the Creative Commons FAQ on the topic, which goes into more detail, including a link to their wiki that goes into more detail.

The exact definition in the license is "primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or monetary compensation." There are certainly lots of uses that very obviously do/do not qualify as commercial use under that definition, but others would be harder to classify.

they refused snowden. but the current executive branch has a much better relationship with Russia- so I hear.

I was about to say we have no extradition treaty with them, but this says we do have one from 1893 limited to regicide/ assassination but both countries ignore it.

If the murderer were a spy an exchange might take place, but beyond that, they'd get to enjoy the Russia winters I bet.

You forgot the part about "it makes white women want to have sex with negroes." (parphrased)

Here's a source for the actual quote https://www.huffpost.com/entry/marijuana-prohibition-racist_n_4590190 and the actual quote:

> “There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the U.S., and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing result from marijuana use. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.”

A handleld GPS should show you the boundaries of any parks, and possibly forest reserves (I don't know for certain). There may also be map overlays that you could just install on your phone too. A very quick search revealed this app:

Not exactly what you're asking, but there is an interesting case of a mall in California that spanned two cities. One city raised its minimum wage, so those stores on that side of the mall had to pay their workers more than the stores on the other side of the mall.

There's a Planey Money podcast on this. IIRC, there was actually two of the same fast food restaurants in the mall (like two McDonald or something), one on one side, one on the other. So some employees at one store were getting paid more than employees at the same store, a hundred yards away.

> The Westfield Valley Fair Mall in California is like any other mall except for one thing: half of the mall is in the city of San Jose and the other half is in the city of Santa Clara. The boundary line runs right through the mall.

> For a long time, this didn't matter. But in 2012, one city — San Jose — raised its minimum wage from $8 an hour to $10 an hour. This change created two economic worlds within a single, large building. Employees doing more or less the same work, just steps away from each other, started making different wages.

> On today's show: minimum wage stories from a single mall. What happens when some stores suddenly have to pay their workers more — and others are still paying less.

I think this will help. You could claim you thought it was a severance package. I know sometimes companies have a golden parachute where if your hired for a 5 year contract and you get fired after 3 you still get a pay check for the remaining 2 years.

The Passengers by John Marrs

It's fiction set in the near future, but it really explores the ethics and legalities of self driving cars, duty to pedestrians and drivers, etc. And is a really good read.

I don't think it's plainly outlined anywhere a flag/banner vs. a sign.

A quick look over of the Utah election sign law doesn't say much about private property, just where is restricted their right to remove signs from restricted areas after 10 days, and their ability to charge the group that posted the sign while it's in the restricted area.

If you have an HOA that could be a possibility to try and get it removed..

Otherwise as others have stated this appears to be a first amendment issue, you could leave a note about how symbolic that they fly the trump flag over the US flag. What a Patriot /s

Might I recommend a flag purchase of your own?

I bought a good one through Amazon. It was about $130.

There’s a split between appeals courts about whether it protects sexual orientation; that is, an appeals court in one region ruled one way, while another in a different region ruled the opposite. The Supreme Court usually looks for opportunities to resolve these splits, so we might get an answer on that in the next few years.

Gender identity is more speculative. On the one hand, it’s arguably more directly related to the original intent of the statute; on the other, the courts lately have seemed extremely sympathetic to LGB issues, and it’s not clear that will carry over to transgender issues. But it could win, and if sexual orientation wins, I have a hard time imagining gender identity losing.

Yeah I thought of cadaver donation but apparently there's a whole list of reasons for why a body might be rejected, including that it may just not be needed at that moment (https://www.mayoclinic.org/body-donation/making-donation)

I read about setting money aside, but average figures are like 7k. And, quite frankly, every time we manage to save some money - something comes up and we end up draining the account. Last time I set aside 5k and we were hit with 4k in car repairs. The rest went towards part of a security deposit. So, that's what I mean by paycheck to payckeck :/

I did some googling and found this. Scroll down to the last paragraph of subheading "Location, location, location," which says you need to follow the law of the more restrictive state, meaning in your example you can't record a call to someone in California from Colorado.

Article doesn't cite any actual laws, though, so grain of salt.

You can't actually ban books in the US. School systems and the like can remove them from libraries, and people often refer to that as "banning" but the 1st Amendment prohibits the government from actually suppressing any work.

Anyway, if you want a copy...

Check with your local high school and see if they have a session you can sit in on on the history of the civil rights movement. Most people go over this in grade school, and if you missed it, it's a good place to start. You might also be able to get a refresher through your local college, if you're too old to attend high school.

If you'd prefer to learn on your own, I'd recommend works like this one that explore the motivations of the civil rights movement's members and leadership, and by proxy the case for legislating against discrimination in employment, public accommodation, education, and government services.

I don't think windshields are required. Jeeps, for instance, have fold-down windshields, and AFAIK there is no legal requirement for them to be present. Amusingly enough, however, windshield wipers are required.

Seriously, a rearview mirror is a bit of glass that bolts to the side of your car. How will a subscription disable it?

There's too little space here to give you much information. I suggest asking your local library for help. They should have plenty of books that can help. Some about the legal system, and some novels that feature the legal system.

He said that there are only two questions you should answer when approached by the police.

1) “What is your name?” 2) “What are you doing right here, right now?”

Keep it in the present tense. Don’t tell them what you were doing earlier in the day, what you plan to do afterward, or offer up any additional information.

Everyone pretty much covered it, but just to add, they actually make "sealable wine to-go bags" specifically for this purpose. You have to tear them open so it counts as a closed container.

> sexual intercourse frequency on a sliding-scale of incentives

You might be interested in this article about "Wife Bonuses" for women on the Upper East Side of NYC. The author also has a pretty good book related.

The offer seems pretty clear to me, unless the one you saw is wildly different than this one. You sign up, you do the things that earn you the points (surveys and such), you get the $25 sent to your PayPal. Assuming that it's possible to get the $25 without paying anything, that would make it free. Nobody is going to give you $25 in exchange for nothing at all, so I guess I'm not sure where the false advertising is.

Illegal Alien by Robert J. Sawyer is a pretty good book that I read about 20 years back. It is essentially a legal drama at its heart with an extraterrestrial on trial for illegal immigration... and murder! Most Sawyer books have a mash-up of concepts, though it's usually two sci-fi concepts; this is his only book that is a legal drama.

You would need to refer to your contract for details.

The only thing that's public is the historical policy of forbidding employees/contractors from participating in sanctioned tournament play. This used to be a much stronger policy of non-eligibility, but was adjusted a couple years ago.

>My thesis is that IP concealment is an irrefutable essential component. Your claim to the contrary is so far unsupported.

Mate, I'm not disagreeing with you. I've argued that concealing an IP is necessary but not sufficient. This is not the same thing as saying that IP obfuscation isn't necessary at all.

I'd say we should agree to disagree on this, but I don't think we actually have different views about this necessity. I've only argued for a threat model that takes other factors into account.

In the United States, their "fundamental" rights generally spring from the same 5th/14th Amendment "due process" source as adults. But government actors have a strong interest in the services they are generally providing to children, and accordingly are granted wide latitude in setting policy.

Most litigation has focused on Free Speech type rights. The Supreme Court famously said students don’t “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate" in the Tinker decision, and held that a school was wrong in expelling students who wore black armbands to protest the war in Vietnam. Unfortunately (in my view) most other student rights cases have gone the other way. There's a book that discusses most of these issues: https://www.amazon.com/Schoolhouse-Gate-Education-Supreme-American/dp/1101871652

it looks like a strict liability law, so you need license (use or other one sec 13-?. the table at the end has permitted levels- i'd send them the amazon link with license app, but it looks likes the amazon sample is under the permitted limits and harmless(ish)... it looks like there's no restrictions on it in US, as its natural ore. so NK or ISIS could order a ton from zon and bezos would not commit treason (i think US decided quick that the ore is too costly/abundant to secure, and pivoted away from rocks to secure/ban trade in the refining technology... so it looks like the radioactive levels NZ permits are same as the natural ore, to get above that, it needs to be refined, which you can't do unless you're NK, CN, FR, UK, IR, USA, etc.

I've read a novel whose title escapes me at the moment that was predicated on just this idea. It may have been inspired by the Ray Chapman story, but in the novel, the pitcher was actually charged and tried. Can't recall the outcome. The book was not Calico Joe.

Well, it is legal to sell this book in the US, which literally tells people how to commit crimes, so no.

This is inaccurate - Canada actually has separate rules for sound recordings.

Sound recordings are weird in a lot of copyright laws because they are usually copyrighted separately from some underlying work, in this case a musical composition. Consider also an audiobook. If I record myself reading a book that is in the public domain, my recording is copyrighted, but the words I'm reading are not, which makes sense; if someone records themselves reading a book that is not in the public domain under license from the author, the situation can become a lot less intuitive: both the book and the recording are copyrighted, and separate people own each copyright, but what happens if the person who recorded the audio dies before the author of the book?

I believe all recordings published before 1965 are in the public domain in Canada but would recommend doing considerably more research on that than I just did.

There are also some weird provisions about "performances captured on communication signals" that might actually put live performances broadcast on the radio in Canada before 1997 into the public domain, but I would definitely want a lawyer for that one. Wikipedia cites the book <u>Intellectual Property Law of Canada</u> here, which sounds like a fun read.

So now I wonder if a prosecutor can argue that Sasquatch is a humanoid and can receive similar protection as humans under the law, and that argument goes up the chain through appeals courts, or if a political position or legislative body must decide if Sasquatch is human-like enough to count before a prosecutor can use murder or manslaughter as the charge for Ernie in the lowest criminal court.

Wouldn't that require ascertaining its intelligence? What if Ernie shot an ape under the same circumstances? Wouldn't he at least get a cruelty to animals charge? Well, if Sasquatch's intelligence has to be determined before deciding if it's human, so a prosecutor can know what to charge Ernie with, and Ernie shot Sasquatch so no one can know... this is a sad movie with a poignant message about outsiders now.

Also, and this is the God's honest truth... my best friend's cousin wrote a nonfiction book about Sasquatch being able to travel interdimensionally by will. Like this is the reason no one ever sees Sasquatch because it's gone into another dimension. Does that indicate something about the intelligence of Sasquatch? It might not be able to count or read, but it can travel interdimensionally. What if Sasquatch's intelligence is observable but not measurable?
