There's a difference between what the US is trying to do, get a court order to compel a company to hand over data from an overseas location (where doing so without a local court order is illegal); and the hacking the Russia's accused of doing.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ah, so a US court says it's OK.
That's all right, then.

Two different cases. As I understand it, the Microsoft case concerns a foreign national whose data is stored on a server outside the US. The Google case concerns a US citizen whose data is stored outside the US. Seems to me that avoiding a subpoena by transferring electronic data to another jurisdiction is highly questionable.
I suspect that both decisions will be upheld.

Fair enough, and that definitely explains the two decisions.
Me, I'm still storing my data on Europa. Or a replica (Canada  ) whenever possible.

Scientists at the Center for Artificial Low Dimensional Electronic (CALDES), within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) are aiming to find innovative ways at achieving a more stable transmission of information. I'll let someone who understands it make the joke about this one
Besides, autocorrect keeps messing up whenever I type solutions.

Sounds sorta like a singleton.

Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.

It's just a back-door way of trying to make UTF-8 the standard codepage.
Mind, it would help if it hadn't been google-translated from Patagonian via Uzbekistanian.

A total of 97 firms put their names to the document, which supports the state of Washington in its battle against what is widely considered a Muslim ban, each one stating that their “operations are affected” by the executive order. Hoping to keep this one out of the Soapbox

These so-called companies with their so-called operations that are affected by so-called bans, they're all just fake. So.

Or if they must have an in-person meeting, they could send their US based staff to Iran, Syria, etc., instead of bringing those guys here.

Muslims buy iphones and see ads on facebook, too.

They probably don't have a lot of employees from those countries, although as big as they are, the number is almost certainly non-zero. But if you don't draw a line at the start eventually the situation gets a lot worse.
Quote: In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.

Agreed, but drawing the line at an appropriate place is important too. A 90 day travel ban for people travelling from 7 specific countries into 1 specific country does not merit the response it's received across the world.
Comparing the Trump Administration and 21st century America to the Third Reich and post WW1 Germany only shows historical ignorance.

Cute, but there is no Muslim ban since the countries with the largest Muslim populations aren't affected. It's not an indefinite ban. And I fail to see why it's suddenly wrong to put something on hold until issues are resolved.
If country A goes to war with country B, are you suggesting that if both countries curtail immigration from each other, is that Niemöller's slippery slope?

I used to contract for a satellite manufacturer whose publicly stated vision was something about allowing people to communicate and work remotely all around the world.
It was ironic to the point of absurd that they had a "no remote work" policy. I was a thorn in some of the management's side because I actually was breaking that policy.
