It's a monochrome artwork so there is no colour assigned to the flag, rather than it being specifically black.

I think we totally should limit ourselves from the idea that it's totally normal to expect to be able to fly anywhere in the world in ~24 hours and to do this regularly.
This is a gem observation from this thread. In my own tech sphere the first thing developers are talking about with each other is the new x,y,z lib or framework they're using to accomplish something relatively banal. There's still a lot of work out there that really boils down to basic CRUD and reporting at the end of the day, and developers naturally begin to invent complexities on top of that CRUD to make the work interesting and challenging. I'm absolutely guilty of this first hand.
I've found personally it also doesn't help that past work on projects e.g. large Rails apps that were never architected well turn out to be such nightmares to work on. The memory of the end state of these projects lingers with developers as they move onto the next piece of work, and they're inclined to say "no that doesn't work" and pick up shiny new-tech to do the old job instead.
As a side analogy: most small business construction jobs, e.g. building a timber frame house, don't involve the builders arriving on site and are stumped by the challenge of how to put up the framing for the bedroom walls - there's also very little challenge in these projects, yet the reward is in the completion.
A CRM is typically a form based app doing CRUD - to be this makes it a solid candidate for being a stateless client.
I feel like there's a whole class of applications out there now (including my own) that have gone down the stateful client route where it wasn't necessary and introduce a whole new set of problems and solution libraries / frameworks that can be forgotten about with a return to a stateless arch.
iOS still continues its march of adding minor features that should be in regular OTA updates and packing them up with some serious marketing hype. There's barely any improvement here and most of the features are already well implemented in Android / Google Apps or Facebook Messenger.
Disappointing.
Chalk can stain the side of a building if repeatedly used in the same place. Washing the building will reduce the chalk to a faint smudge, but restoring the side of the building to its original state before the offending still requires repainting/resurfacing in the same way cleaning spraypaint would.
In regards to limiting the use of the First Amendment - the right of the defendant to express his views have not been violated. The First Amendment has nothing to do with the vandalism charges he faces. He could have expressed his views over a medium that wasn't illegal, allowing him to defend himself via the First Amendment, but then he wouldn't have a need for defence, would he?
