So you claim that sometime a couple of years ago, you saw that in April of 2016 he would obviously be tweeting about privacy to teenaged girls and collaborating with Jean-Michel Jarre?
I'm fine with each religion having their own beliefs about particular sins (or lack of sins). I was mostly objecting to the claim above that since they somehow must have sinned if they're in jail, they have no moral standing to claim devout practice of the religion.
The part you're missing is that architecture is not protectable by copyright. You can copyright a particular detective novel, but you cannot copyright the concept and structure of a detective novel. You can copyright a particular implementation of Java, but not the language itself (which is described in part by those headers).
And worse, MS threw in just enough bits of MS-only API that it was likely to fool people into writing Windows only software while relying on the promist that Java programs run everywhere.
Actually Sun sued MS for calling the bastardized result Java. If MS had marketed it as METOO or ITSATRAP a MS only incompatible language, there would have been no lawsuit.
Far more than the software world. Imagine if the ability to copyright a database extended to the schema? There can be only one database that has phone number, last name, first name, address!
There is a deeper question though. Why should someone be sent to digital exile based on the ALLEGATIONS of the MPAA?
They are basically saying (in public) That they believe their word should hold the power of law. Imagine. They want to just point to someone and like that, they're gone from the digital world. No witnesses, no trial, no right to face an accuser, just gone because the King said so.
Someone who would ask for that with a straight face is the last person who should ever have any authority over anyone.
In many ways, speed reading is everything wrong with modern education summed up. It's all about how to cram facts in quickly so you canm regurgitate them 30 minutes later and forget them by tomorrow.
If you really want to know the material you have to relate it to what you already know and that takes thinking going on in parallel with reading. Otherwise, it's only slightly less ephemeral than last night's dream.
It can somewhat improve your base reading rate if you allow yourself to fall back to an unhurried pace and stay there, and if you need just a few bits of information out of a poorly formatted manual, it can help you skim for the bits you need so in that sense, it's not a total loss.

Yes, it is advice to obey the local laws, but that doesn't mean that the local law is now God's will. The congregant who has been busted for pot has made an error, but has not necessarily sinned against God (individual denominations will have varying views on that and on the drugs themselves). But in all of them, sincere repentance is possible and may well have happened while still in jail. In that sense, hindering their practice of religion would be actively harmful to the claimed purpose of reform.
Many non-Christian beliefs don't much care about pot one way or another. Others consider it a sacrament and laws against it in the U.S. to be a violation of the Constitution.
Then there's the people who have been wrongly convicted.
Suffice to say that it is not for the secular authorities to decide if prisoners are or are not in a good relationship with their God.
Believe it or not, the sales folks have checks and balances. The legal department is one that should keep them in check on some items.
In general, yes, I believe it. However apparently where the AC worked those checks and balances were broken. Surely you don't believe it was engineering to blame that sales promised AC would use his own money to buy parts for the customer?!?
For the rest, so you're saying it depends on the client's risk aversion, liquidity, and hard budget constraints?;-)
Yes, there should be a back and forth. That is, providing and clarifying the problem's constraints for engineering and engineering outlining the cost/benefit/risk for management to arrive at the best answer for the current situation. Even down to triage if necessary. That is, there just isn't enough money in the budget to build a system with all of the requested capabilities. x,y, and z will have to go but you can have the core functionality.
The departments need to be able to meet in the middle to come to a decision.
You must have a funny definition of intervention. We have had 3 decades of backing away from consumer laws, employment laws, and banking laws, avoiding raising minimum wage (until recently), increasingly regressive taxation complete with trickle down economics. Predictably, wage disparity has been growing and the general welfare has gone down even while the wealthiest become wealthier than ever before.
In the times you speak of, we had a strongly progressive tax, strong public works, and implemented the minimum wage. One difference was that nearly half of the current workforce was excluded by social norm, driving wages up. Perhaps we should replace that benefit without becoming discriminatory again by declaring 20 hours to be the new full time (actually, we should start at 35 to avoid shocking the system).
As for your minimum wage argument, you claim that if only we would allow employers to pay $5 an hour rather than $9/hr the minimum wage earner would be better off AND have more time with his family? You realize that makes no sense, right?
I see people whose genuine beliefs look a lot like a parody of Christianity of Islam all the time. They usually call themselves Christian or Islamic respectively.

You might be surprised how little effect in some cases.

Shut up AC, you're just hoping some of the relevance will rub off on you.

Google looked at Java and implemented their own take on it that is compatible at the source level.

No, they included 7000 lines of declarations that look like Oracles because there's no real room for creativity.
Let's say I implement a function to play music and I declare it as boolean Play(void);
Now, you write an entirely different function to play video. You might well declare it as boolean Play(void);
Have you violated my copyright? Did I somehow gain the rights to any function called Play that takes no parameters and returns a boolean value?

Sometimes the law is a sinister screw.
Enlightenment?
You're welcome.
Actually, for some satire is practically a sacred rite (and no, I'm not kidding or even exaggerating a little).
Why do you choose to belittle THEIR practices?
If the state gets ANY say at all in what is or is not a legitimate religion, guess what everything that gets the government stamp of approval is!
So you are a big believer in judicial infallibility? Oh My! Even the Pope rarely leans on that.
Most religions also recognize that people may make moral errors from time to time.
Of course, in the U.S. many people are in prison for drugs that aren't forbidden in their religion.
I see people whose genuine beliefs look a lot like a parody of Christianity of Islam all the time. They usually call themselves Christian or Islamic respectively.
Donald Trump doesn't build things, he demands that other people build things and then steals the benefits.
So you're saying it's time for the poor to pick up machetes and go get them some opportunity?
You mean employers who pay only a tiny fraction of the value they derive from their employees, right?
And the class that has manipulated government to make sure they continue to be in a position to do that, of course.
Where did I say they needed to work harder and write better than previous generations? I said to work hard, not hardER.
Reality says that.
In other words, working smarter paid off for your employer but didn't do you a damned bit of good.
