The US has universal jurisdiction to prosecute pirates and to seize their vessels. Seize does not mean "sink."

As far as I know, they don't have a lot of facts in this case to spin into a "the bad guys escalated a law enforcement boarding operation" scenario.

Bush and Obama had the legal cover of the original Congressional AUMF from 2001. That has now finally fully expired.

For 6 weeks or whatever. Enough time that if the supreme court wants to reverse the lower court, they can.

It's pretty common for lower courts to do this if they think the decision is controversial. The lengthy time frame is probably related to the recent trend of supreme court reversing lower courts on various illegal Trump policies.

This chart is easier to understand if you make the following substitutions:

  • Toy Lang --> high level language (except brainfuck really is a low level toy language)
  • System Lang --> low level language
  • Obsolete Lang --> old programming language, regardless of obsolescence status
  • Nu Lang --> newer programming language

After understanding this construction, I fail to find any humor in this.

Why is ECMAScript here and not JavaScript?

Among other things, "JavaScript" is a trademark of Oracle.

But when you do shoot yourself in the foot, it blows your whole leg off.
