Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Fifty years ago, the U. S. government was extremely concerned about the possibility of communist domination of space, leading to existential threats to the American way of life. President Kennedy immediately sent laws to Congress criminalizing any propulsion systems that couldn't achieve near earth orbit. He also sent his brother and various other appointed bureaucrats to tell rocket engineers to "engineer harder." And without any federal funding or support of any kind, engineers responded to the call and propelled Americans to the moon--an achievement impossible for any lawyer!
Now, the U.S. government is extremely concerned that de-monopolization of the entertainment industry will have adverse effects on the fortunes that support political campaigns--the greatest existential threat imaginable. And the response is to do what has worked so well before: to criminalize tedious scientific research that doesn't support the political goals, and inform computer scientists that if they'd only work harder, they too could do things that lawyers have decided must be possible, even though they couldn't do them. Because lawyers are smarter than god, and have innate knowledge of what's possible and who's not working hard enough to do it.

Re: What color is the math symbol shirt?
The outline of the math symbol is a very faint cyan, and the inside is a slightly-cool black. You can get a better look with the picture in this post:
