| schestowitz[TR2] | "Not giving internships to people on that list is actually illegal under the Civil Rights Act of 1866. Section 1981. Also, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, under Title VII. | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But Section 1981 is trivial to prove harm under. | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Basically all anyone would have to do is say that they applied for an Outreachy grant, were not on the list of people who get them, didn't get one, and file a lawsuit. | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Frankly, I am astonished it hasn't happened already. | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Practically every S. 1981 defendant gives up, changes the terms of their program, and settles. | Jun 19 07:22 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | If you consider it, the law is functioning as intended. It is dismantling racism, sexism, and other nefarious and pernicious -isms. | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Sunday | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Carl Brutananadilewski | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Title VII would apply if Outreachy has a Federal Employer ID Number, 15 or more people in the US working under paid internships, for a total of at least 20 weeks in the current or previous year, but S. 1981 would apply based on Outreachy making "contracts" with paid interns. | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | If they don't have a FEIN, and they pay Americans, then they are likely in violation of the Internal Revenue Code. | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In which case, someone ought to report this to the IRS. | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Because you'd need a FEIN to call them "independent contractors" and issue 1099s to their SSN. And if Outreachy pays any person over $600 in a calendar year and doesn't file a 1099 for that person, the IRS would likely apply the "failure to file" and "negligence" penalties, as well as interest at a statutory rate of 6%, which would amount to thousands in the end, per tax year, per person./ | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | And if you admit they're contractors with a 1099 form, you admit that you're dealing in contracts, which definitely satisfies S. 1981, along with the stated admission that you aim to avoid certain people. | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | So filing the tax form admits that the Plaintiff has standing to sue. | Jun 19 07:22 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The laws are great, especially the Civil Rights ones and the tax ones. | Jun 19 07:22 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <blockquote> | Jun 19 11:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>The highlight feature in Tails 6.4 is the addition of a random seed stored on the USB stick, a move designed to bolster the cryptography across the system. This enhancement addresses the critical need for a secure random number generator, essential for various cryptographic functions within Tails, including Persistent Storage, Tor, and HTTPS protocols. </p> | Jun 19 11:43 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> The random seed is strategically stored outside of the Persistent Storage to ensure that all users benefit from stronger cryptographic protections regardless of their individual configurations. </p> | Jun 19 11:43 |
