The provisions of this article shall apply as hereinafter provided to an act committed outside this state against a resident of this state or against a corporation organized under the laws of this state or authorized to do business in this state, if such act would constitute an unlawful discriminatory practice if committed within this state. 2. If a resident person or domestic corporation violates any provision of this article by virtue of the provisions of this section, this article shall apply to such person or corporation in the same manner and to the same extent as such provisions would have applied had such act been committed within this state except that the penal provisions of such article shall not be applicable. 3. If a non-resident person or foreign corporation violates any provision of this article by virtue of the provisions of this section, such person or corporation shall be prohibited from transacting any business within this state. Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, the provisions of section two hundred ninety-seven of this article governing the procedure for determining and processing unlawful discriminatory practices shall apply to violations defined by this subdivision insofar as such provisions are or can be made applicable. If the division of human rights has reason to believe that a non-resident person or foreign corporation has committed or is about to commit outside of this state an act which if committed within this state would constitute an unlawful discriminatory practice and that such act is in violation of any provision of this article by virtue of the provisions of this section, it shall serve a copy of the complaint upon such person or corporation by personal service either within or without the state or by registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to such person or corporation at his or her or its last known place of residence or business, together with a notice requiring such person or corporation to appear at a hearing, specifying the time and place thereof, and to show cause why a cease and desist order should not be issued against such person or corporation. If such person or corporation shall fail to appear at such hearing or does not show sufficient cause why such order should not be issued, the division shall cause to be issued and served upon such person or corporation an order to cease or desist from the act or acts complained of. Failure to comply with any such order shall be followed by the issuance by the division of an order prohibiting such person or corporation from transacting any business within this state. A person or corporation who or which transacts business in this state in violation of any such order is guilty of a class A misdemeanor. Any order issued pursuant to this subdivision may be vacated by the division upon satisfactory proof of compliance with such order. All orders issued pursuant to this subdivision shall be subject to judicial review in the manner prescribed by article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules.

Cypherpunks are revolting

Since Bismark the state form has added Ponzi social-security schemes to its traditional protection racket. The immediate challenge for crypto-anarchist revolutionaries is to destroy the protection rackets while maintaining a social-safety-net many now rely upon. Make partial destroy. Fortunately crypto-currencies make this a snack. Cypherpunks collapse governments. Subject: Everyone a remailer: Everyone a Mint: Everyone an assassin https://marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=100872510706876&w=2 Strong-crypto, digital money, anonymous networks, pseudonyms, zero- knowledge proofs, reputations, information-markets, netwar, collapse-of-governments. http://nakamotoinstitute.org/static/docs/cyphernomicon.txt What forbids us translating the freedom afforded by the Internet to ordinary life? I think that blockchains will replace armies for national defense, because a blockchain-based assassination market will be created…" Zach. CryptoGo

New York State Bar Association Urges UN To Launch War Crimes Tribunal To Investigate Russian Federation's Invasion of Ukraine - New York State Bar Association
by Gunnar Larson 01 Oct '22

https://nysba.org/new-york-state-bar-association-urges-un-to-launch-war-cri… The New York State Bar Association is urging the United Nations to establish a war crimes tribunal to investigate the invasion of Ukraine. “During our nearly 150-year history, the New York State Bar Association has been a champion of the rule of law and human rights. We must establish a tribunal to make certain that justice is served,” said association President Sherry Levin Wallach. The association’s Executive Committee, acting on behalf of its governing body, the House of Delegates, voted today to ask the UN to investigate and prosecute members of the Russian military and government for violations of international law including human rights violations, crimes against humanity and aggression. The tribunal would be similar to the courts that investigated war crimes in Sierra Leone, Rwanda and Cambodia.

Immortality: Genomics, Uploads, Synthetics

" . . . Personally, I don’t mind the idea of being turned into mulch. . . ." Words of wisdom for Grarpamps and his fellow list trolls, Garofalo and Semich - ROT in PEACE Where they burn Transhumanists - there they will burn Transexuals I may be tending synthetic - but I'm not stupid enough to self-immolate over it. The range of possibilities open to a conscious being in cyberspace is difficult to even begin to visualize. You would become effectively immortal within a computer program, immune to disease, aging, or injury. You could inhabit a fantasy world not subject to our physical laws, possessing the power to metamorphose into any form, or instill your consciousness into any object within the program. You could possess the power of flight, or the ability to perform telekinesis. You could modify your existing environment on a whim into forms unknown on Earth, or seemingly anywhere. Not that an upload is limited to the environment within a program. If the concept is feasible, then we should be able to place the computer program within any vessel that can sustain it.
