That book is a great example.

It's basically a code telling itself to write more code, so the initial instructions don't need to be large at all.
Simple example:
1 Set "number" equal to 0
2 Set "number" equal to (number+1)
3 Save number in new file named "(number)"
4 Go to step 2
So in this entirely fake program, the idea is it will start with a variable =0. It will then change that variable to 1. Then it will make a save file called "1." Then it will change the variable to 2, and make a save file called "2." And it just keeps repeating, adding one more and then creating a new file in your computer. This would eventually take up every single bit of free memory and it will never stop running.

I think the issue is the landlord trying to evict solely because of the "insider trading" but they're in a state that allows it.
Also the issue is back rent, so the "illegal" activity is not relevant.
So, I think the whole picture is the Landlord is owed rent, decided to take it to federal so that the renter would be considered the bad guy, but this just made it so the landlord didn't have a valid contact for knowingly renting the space for that purpose.
On state level, everything is above board and the store owes rent. On a federal level, everything is illegal and the contract is void.
Don't know why you're getting down voted. Seems like a reasonable question for a complicated issue.

Reply to comment by JuzoItami in TIL Devon Allen, track & field athlete/Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, was disqualified in the World Athletic Championships for a controversial false start. The starting blocks measured his reaction time from the time the gun went off at 0.099, which is 0.001 seconds faster than legally allowed. by The_Critical_Cynic
The whole idea seems like circular garbage.
>We all need to start at the same time, so lend her a noise or a light to signal the start.
>Well now we need to react to the start, which means everyone will have a slightly different delay.
>You've got to anticipate the start, so you can start as close to the start as possible.
>Well someone starting exactly at the start could be a sign of cheating, so the real start has to be 0.1s after the start.
And really, how would you even cheat that??? You get a notification 3/10 of a second before and then perfectly react 3/10 of a second later to be exact with the start?
The whole thing is stupid. You have to anticipate, and you have to risk disqualifying yourself for an early start, and 0.099s after the start is still AFTER the start.
