  • Don’t be so quick to dismiss the feedback from compliance teams. It’s possible TOU are written such that you really can’t store data on the client without agreement. It’s also possible that other regulations besides GDPR apply that you may not be aware of, for example those specific to banking or health.

  • I think you meant IAbstractBlahBlahManagerFactoryControlBeansHandlerFactoryFactory6ProxyHandlerAsync_Compat3, and of course its test counterpart, IAbstractBlahBlahManagerFactoryControlBeansHandlerFactoryFactory6ProxyHandlerAsync_Compat3::FakeMockVirtualDeviceTestManagerBeansFactory2_HACK_DO_NOT_USE

  • The difference is that “14A can be circumvented by lying about intent” is a weaker concern than correlative discrimination. It implies that as long as someone is being honest, they would not run afoul of non-discrimination laws. My point is that even honest and legitimate non-racially-motivated intents can still be discriminatory.

  • Except that’s not the issue. You can be truthful about a non-discriminatory intention and still be discriminatory. For example, neglecting wheelchair ramps because they’re too expensive is still discriminatory. Even if the redistricting was more politically motivated than racially, which it very well could have been, the end result was disenfranchisement of an overwhelmingly black population.

  • but I have WhatsApp and signal and like 19 other apps that offer messaging

    That’s the problem. Maybe it’s a cultural thing, but Americans seem to be quite averse to downloading a new app or signing up for a new service just to communicate with someone if I have their phone number. As a result, it needs to be supported by default on all phones as shipped. Today, the only thing that fits that is SMS.

  • The issues that generated this debt pertains to intercompany transfer pricing.

    Can someone explain what this means in english?

    Edit: I looked into it more and it seems the IRS objects to how Microsoft attributed cost and revenue between its international entities. I’ve heard of this practice being used to arbitrarily shift tax burden internationally. For example, let’s say a US company builds Widgets that cost $20 to make and sells them for $50. By normal accounting, that would result in a net of $30 taxable in the US. But if the company spins up a subsidiary in Ireland to hold its Widget production patents, they can charge the US branch $30 per unit in patent royalties. This results in net $0 taxable in the US and $30 taxable in Ireland. One limitation is that the money has to stay in Ireland. But if the company is already a multi-national one, there’s a good chance they have legitimate business expenses in Europe that the money could be later spent on. The end result is that talent and work from American workers, and revenue largely coming from American buyers, is being manipulated to avoid paying taxes back into the American economy, just because the business has international interests and there are many tax havens overseas.

  • the district drawn was motivated by politics, not by race

    If this argument is allowed, then the entire 14th Amendment can be circumvented using any attribute with high correlation to the targeted class. Don’t want to serve black people? Just say you only serve people with a skin albedo above 0.2 - it’s about aesthetics, not race! Don’t wan to employ women? Just make short hair a requirement for the job.

  • And technical expertise, and the ability to use a computer without accessibility aids, and the notion of what a “format” is so that they can open their kids’ halloween homework assignment without the formatting being completely broken, and the ability to solve computer problems on their own without calling Geek Squad or visiting a Genius Bar…

  • It doesn't matter how airtight your asshole is puckered up or how many isolated networks are involved. It gets leaked.

    That’s why our lawyers make us make sure that data is sufficiently anonymized before it’s even put on the wire.
