[00:45] schestowitz[TR] about it being investigated [00:45] DaemonFC (If they create a record of anything, they have to keep it forever in case the government investigates you, which is why you have to be a Microsoft or a Google to manage a search engine these days.)

[00:45] schestowitz[TR] less BRIBED "media" [00:46] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Sarbanes-Oxley is more dangerous than most people think. [00:46] DaemonFC And it was passed as a "corporate account scandal law", but it requires preservation of "evidence" forever even if you don't know that the evidence will be evidence. [00:46] DaemonFC So the only thing a company can do to comply with it is keep your records forever. [00:47] DaemonFC Which means that nothing you do on Google or Facebook, for example, will EVER be deleted, because they could be guilty of destroying evidence, even if the government doesn't START an investigation of you for 20 years. [00:47] schestowitz[TR] i see [00:47] schestowitz[TR] anyway, thanks for the links [00:48] DaemonFC So they say when you "delete" things on Google that they may "retain it as long as needed to comply with data retention laws". [00:48] schestowitz[TR] now we have a clearer picture of the future of "edge" [00:48] schestowitz[TR] making your product a cline of something else is always bad strategy [00:48] DaemonFC Which means you can't see the records anymore, but the length of time they have to store them is "forever".

[05:14] DaemonFC None of which rises to illegality. [05:14] DaemonFC Some would say unethical, and sharp practices. [05:14] DaemonFC But not illegal. [05:15] DaemonFC In fact, it just really depends on how you look at it as to ethics. [05:15] DaemonFC Some say that sharp practices that don't break laws are "smart", especially when you do more good that way. [05:15] *TempestMancer has quit (Quit: Have a nice day!) [05:15] DaemonFC Trump was boasting about bankruptcy for Christ's sake. [05:16] DaemonFC And maybe it was legal, but I think we can all agree it was at least unethical all six times. [05:16] DaemonFC Sharp Practices. All for his own gain, not for any sense of the greater good. [05:18] DaemonFC You have to be very careful to never break a law when you're trying to get away with something. [05:18] DaemonFC It's very important to never break a law. [05:18] DaemonFC Because there will be people watching you who don't like you, and you're going to make enemies, and you may even harm some of them. So, it all has to be....legal. [05:19] DaemonFC And it's not because I love the law or anything. [05:19] DaemonFC I really don't. [05:19] DaemonFC But I follow the law because I know what happens when you don't.

[05:22] DaemonFC They couldn't even if they tried. [05:23] DaemonFC There was a point in time when there was no law in the United States (federal) against airplane hijacking, but there were airplanes. [05:23] DaemonFC So a guy went to hijack an airplane and flew it across state lines. [05:24] DaemonFC The prosecutors couldn't find anything to charge him with except a Misdemeanor count of inter-state theft of a motor vehicle. [05:24] DaemonFC He was convicted and appealed. It made its way to the Supreme Court. The question was "Did Congress mean to classify an airplane as a motor vehicle?". [05:25] DaemonFC The court overturned the conviction because it said it's up to Congress to clearly define what it means when it passes a law. [05:25] DaemonFC Quickly, Congress made stealing an "airplane" a federal offense. [05:25] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], Most of the Illinois laws involving computer crimes were passed between 1980 and 1996. [05:26] DaemonFC Some of them include "local bulletin board systems, an online service, or the Internet". [05:26] DaemonFC Clearly, by "online service", they meant something like AOL or Compuserve, Prodigy, or the Microsoft Network. [05:26] DaemonFC Not the Internet, not the Web. [05:28] DaemonFC It's never been changed because the law covers all possibilities, even ones that don't exist yet or are horribly obsolete that nobody uses. [05:28] DaemonFC An "online service" can be anything, even if they can't call it a BBS or the Internet. [05:29] DaemonFC And by saying "Internet" instead of Web, well, that's important too. Almost all "online services" are "protocol layers" on top of the "Internet". [05:29] DaemonFC So if you use a computer to do anything remotely, this law covers that. [05:30] schestowitz[TR] computer [05:30] schestowitz[TR] lan [05:30] schestowitz[TR] not net [05:30] DaemonFC You mean what would happen if people set up a private network like Mesh? [05:30] DaemonFC The law also says "using a computer". [05:31] DaemonFC But it also covers "written communications" and anything sent "through the mail, or a courier". [05:31] DaemonFC Or, "in person". [05:32] DaemonFC Or..."traveling to meet a person under the age of 17 for any purpose described in this Act" "using any form of transportation" "so long as the transportation begins, or ends, or involves, the State of Illinois". [05:33] DaemonFC So if you travel to meet a minor to groom one in person, you're actually worse off if they manage to prove it than you would have been with the computer and the Internet. [05:33] DaemonFC Because the Travel is a Class 3 Felony and the Grooming is a Class 4 felony. [05:33] DaemonFC :) [05:33] DaemonFC So, now you have two problems. [05:34] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR], There was an ad on the radio about 30-40 minutes ago. [05:34] DaemonFC It said that kids should download an app from the Illinois state government to report adults. [05:34] DaemonFC So you're right. Don't even talk to a child. Don't look at them. Sure as shit don't be in a room with them. [05:35] DaemonFC The government is now telling them to inform on people using an app, and it goes straight to the police. [05:35] DaemonFC How many ways could this go wrong? [05:36] DaemonFC I was sexually harassed by one of my cousin's adopted "children" while I was in Indiana a few months ago. Thank God she's 18. [05:36] DaemonFC I think she's one of "those" that tries to go after older men, especially married ones. [05:37] DaemonFC That's horrifyingly common. [05:38] DaemonFC Every time you go out of the house, man. Something happens. [05:38] DaemonFC People try to run their car into you. [05:38] DaemonFC You go to family dinner and come back with COVID after a teenager was trying to play footsie under the table. [05:38] DaemonFC Just never come out of the house. [05:39] DaemonFC Well, I mean, I didn't do anything wrong. She initiated it and is an adult. [05:39] DaemonFC But you know what happens if you complain of it to anyone. [05:40] DaemonFC Ironically, she was in the middle of asking me how to respond to a lawsuit filed against her by her landlord. [05:40] DaemonFC And I was explaining how to file a motion to quash the notice to appear in court, because it violated the Indiana trial rules. [05:41] DaemonFC That wouldn't have held the guy off forever, but he would have lost his $185 filing fee and had to file another lawsuit. [05:42] DaemonFC A stall tactic that would have cost him money and forced him to decide if he wanted to come back to court and maybe get money out of her at a new trial 4-5 months after that. [05:42] DaemonFC She's not very smart. [05:44] TR News Go West or Go Rogue?

[18:20] DaemonFC So like, the Republicans gutted the IRS funding under Trump, then 2020 had all of those COVID deaths, so 2020 and 2021 are a complete mess and they're just going to have to call it at some point. [18:21] DaemonFC They _must_ work every return eventually, but they only _have_ to audit a certain percentage of them. [18:21] DaemonFC So they're probably going to do the minimum number of audits for those years, and the people in the most danger are poor people who took the Earned Income Credit.

[18:25] DaemonFC If it's Trump, people may show up and vote for Biden even if they don't like Biden, who wouldn't have voted at all if it was anyone other than Trump. [18:25] DaemonFC So they're going to do a lot of internal polling and then Biden will have an off-the-record with Merrick Garland about whether Trump is prosecuted for his multiple felonies. [18:26] DaemonFC I can see Trump going down on a lot of things including Obstruction of Justice, Making False Statements, Hobbs, RICO, Filing False Tax Return(s) (multiple), and I mean, I'm not even a prosecutor. [18:26] DaemonFC So the sky's the limit. [18:27] DaemonFC The feds could unveil 20-30 charges on the docket, or even split them up into different trials with different juries. [18:27] DaemonFC They can do a lot of things until they convict him on something. [18:27] DaemonFC That's the government. [18:27] DaemonFC Nobody just "walks away" when the feds are after them. [18:27] DaemonFC In the end, you always agree you did "something" wrong to make it stop. [18:28] DaemonFC And quite often, state-level too, like what happened to me.

[18:28] DaemonFC They can just put him on trial unlimited times until they get him. [18:28] DaemonFC As long as Biden's in office. [18:29] DaemonFC It's almost impossible to actually get an acquittal. [18:29] DaemonFC A hung jury only torpedoes that trial, but they can re-file the charges the same day. [18:29] DaemonFC The goal of a hung jury is what you're after if you go to trial. [18:30] DaemonFC You want the government to spend a lot of money and miss so the prosecutor wants rid of it more. [18:30] DaemonFC He can come back and threaten you again but then your lawyer can say "Well, the first time didn't cut it. What are you offering now?".

[19:32] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [19:32] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [19:32] DaemonFC Why is the Stabilizing Brace regulation from Biden legal while Trump's bump stocks ban isn't? [19:33] DaemonFC Biden didn't ban Stabilizing Braces, you have to register them with the ATF and pay a tax for "short-barrel rifle". [19:33] DaemonFC The National Firearms Act says this is the definition of a short-barrel rifle when you do it to a pistol and that you pay a tax and register it. [19:33] DaemonFC Trump banned bump stocks by claiming that they are a "machine gun part", but the text of the law defined "machine gun parts very differently. [19:33] DaemonFC Ryan Farmer-Alcaraz [19:33] DaemonFC @DaemonFC [19:33] DaemonFC Biden's "Stabilizing Brace" regulation is another example of Republicans behaving like my mom on Immigration. [19:33] DaemonFC Mom: "All those Immigrants broke the law.". [19:33] DaemonFC You say, "Hi mom, I'm married to an Immigrant and I actually know a lot about the Immigration and Nationality Act, and they're entitled under the law to fill out an asylum petition. Perhaps you can name which part of the United States Code including the Subchapter and Paragraph and implementing regulation?" [19:33] DaemonFC Mom (louder) THEY BROKE LAW!!!!
