That's pretty much her problem, isn't it?
But, the State knows much better than the citizen I guess.
If you're going to run a business (which it sounds like she basically was) it behooves you to protect yourself - regardless if you are flying above or below the radar. Anything else is being foolish.
A friend of mine got a similar notice in Oakland last year. Shut down or be evicted. It's a shame. She provided a better place to stay than any reasonably priced hotel.
So how was her insurance coverage for the guests? Or to protect herself if someone sued her?
Better? Maybe. Riskier?
Yeah

... Would Microsoft want to get kids hooked into nice wholesome activities like MS-SQL, C#,
If they don't do this - they have only themselves to blame when the next generation grows up to be FOSS zellots...
Do you mean like all those free versions of Visual Studio and MS-SQL that they have been giving away for years and years?
There is nothing illegal whatsoever, since the trades are public. It's just that the HFT optimized their routes.
Sure not illegal per se, but only a finite number of people can get that sort of access, so now the playing field isn't level.
I just wish that the stock market would represent what it's supposed to represent: a place where people can invest in our real economy.
I purpose the the stock market should really go back to its roots, and that every share should be attached to a genuine item of stock - be that cow, pig or chicken. And that you are responsible for housing and feeding all the stock that you own.
This would also have the interesting effect of changing our perception of Bull and Bear markets.
Eventually, he had no option but resorting to invectives.
I disagree that he had no option. He could have easy had said "I'm cutting you off", and it would had been done without invective. I'm not denying the need to cut Kay off, by Linus had a choice in how to do it.
As noted, it wasn't Linus that started the blow-up. It got to this point because Sievers was ignoring more professional, less blunt instructions about it.
Just be cause it crossed the line doesn't excuse Linus' behavior. If there is a history of incidents like this then Linus had ample opportunity to take this guy aside and deliver an ultimatum of "This is what happens if you do that again", and then have the balls to quietly act on what he had stated the next time Sievers tried to pull any crap. Instead Linus chose to ignore the history and let things get to the point of blowing up and telling the guy he is a fucking idiot in a public forum. Read any decent management book and they'll tell you that that is not the way to act. Such management styles are immature and ultimately unproductive, and any decent manager can chew you another one without resorting to displays of anger.
Have you missed Linus' on-going history of verbal abuse? Did you miss the part in this story where Linus admits that he has an ongoing issue with Kay, but only chooses to deal with it by blowing up and throwing a mini tantrum when something breaks?
If it wasn't Linus, would you take that sort of crap from $Generic_Manager? And if not, why is allowed to act like that?
That is all you have? Pathetic.
In other words you obvious trolling is obvious
At best you are stupid. At worst (and that I expect), you are a paid shill of the US intelligence community. What you claim is totally disconnected from reality and a nice example of disinformation tactics.
Oh please mr smart man

Linus is providing that which is severely lacking in open source projects. Discipline.
Why are you confusing Anger with Discipline? Discipline is getting people all on the same page so that they don't do stupid shit in the first place. What Linus did was get angry - not create or engender discipline. However he did discipline the contributor by providing punishment, but the jury is still out as to whether it will result in a changed behavior.
OK first of all I have no clear idea as to the technicalities at issue, but I do agree that Linus is in control of the finished product.
With that said, if Linus had an on going issue with this guy he should have addressed it directly instead of the starting with the sweeping generalization "By their you mean ".
Waiting for something to break and then throwing a tantrum and saying "its my ball I'm not letting you play with it now", is as childish as it seems. A good manager should have pulled this guy up a long time ago and said "Don't try any of that shit any more. If you do here is what is going to happen..". A bad manager blows up about it in public.
The first point of the quoted FAQ still applies, as do pretty well most of the others.
And why the fuck do we care about micro-optimising the Burning Man departure queue? If the Burning Man forums don't care (and I take it that those forums are where all the affected people hangout), why should
There is a similar issue with Civil war artifacts in the US. Relics are worth $$ in the collectors market, but by law you are not allowed to use things like metal detectors on known battlefields. However a couple of years a local guy started doing exactly that. He found, dug up and sold stuff, but with no regards to keeping any records. When he finally got busted the historians didn't know whether to laugh or cry as they now had access to a huge collection of artifacts, but with zero provenance.
