Can you be more specific? I have no idea what you're talking about re loopholes, DHS staff exclusions, etc.

Sure. I am not a lawyer, but I can give one example to the best of my ability.

One Civil liberty I see Ice violating is the Fourth Amendment which protects against unreasonable search and seizure. But, for Boarder Patrol (under the Department of Homeland Security) there is a border search exception to the forth amendment. Border patrol can conduct searches without a warrant or reasonable suspicion.

You might be on the fence about that. We do have to protect our boarders... sure. but the way the law is written, this border exception is applicable anywhere 100 miles from the border.

That area covers 2/3rds of the population of the United States. --

So if you are wanting a power grab against your own citizens you would definitely try to use that loophole in creative ways. And that starts by using DHS staff that can claim their actions fall under the border search exception.

This write up is a little off the cuff, so the details might be loose, but I hope this demonstrates the rough outline.

boooo! :)

Oh, Memories. I helped build out this target during my student gig as an undergrad.

only you can decide what you find interesting.

Bun still exists. as does tigerbeetle

Lets see for how long, after the acquisition.

I’m so excited for this year.

A more accurate title would be:

“How to write type safe generics using the C preprocessor”

My condolences. I wonder if you qualify for a loss-of-use rental under the warranty.

Personally, I would return the vehicle as defective after an issue like this. No way I'm going to trust the lives of family, friends and myself to a company like this.

fraud is not legal. There's a difference between lying on the playground and fraud in a business setting.

Again: fraud is de facto legal.

It is ubiquitous in every part of the business world, both internal and consumer-facing.

A more useful construct is that civil offenses are only a problem if someone is aware of, motivated, and able to afford to sue you over it. Businesses do a lot of arguably illegal things that are not likely to lead to an actual lawsuit.

They also require articulable and legally legible damages, and if you want to make it worth your time they have to be significant compared to the legal cost and in no significant way attributable to yourself.

A lot of things a laypersons would agree were damages just won't fly in civil court and even when there is damage it's limited by factors like what actions you could have taken to mitigate (but may not have).

De facto is the opposite of de jure, so no, non-enforcement doesn't make it legal

Fraud is illegally getting money, and IDs are not money.
