First, this is not what laws were challenged.
The laws that were challenged are very specific.
As roberts says, "petitioners’ lawsuits target the laws defining marriage generally rather than those allocating benefits specifically"

Had they challenged benefits laws, that would change the equal protection analysis significantly.
But in this lawsuit, given what they've actually challenged, the normal precedent would be to apply the rational basis test, and nothing stronger.

Again, i'll quote roberts, who quotes lawrence:

"In any event, the marriage laws at issue here do not violate the Equal Protection Clause, because distinguishing between
opposite-sex and same-sex couples is rationally related to
the States’ “legitimate state interest” in “preserving the
traditional institution of marriage.”" Lawrence, 539 U. S.,
at 585.

(Now, you could argue this isn't a legitimate state interest, but that's a pretty resolved question at this point, and would require overruling about 200 years of precedent on the issue :P)

The majority doesn't even bother to argue otherwise.

Second, the vast majority of the opinion does not rest on any equal protection claim, and not even the majority takes that argument seriously on these facts given the above.
In fact, the majority doesn't even explain how their argument that this is correct works. They don't even spend a paragraph explaining it, just make a conclusory statement.

So to answer your question, i don't claim what you are stating would in fact, be offering equal protection, but will point out

A. This isn't actually the case before the court

B. Resolving that case does not require declaring states must issue same sex marriage licenses. It would probably require that those validly marriage be given the same benefits.
SCOTUS is supposed to go out of it's way to not resolve questions not before it, and when they do resolve questions, they generally resolve them in the least sweeping way possible.
It's extremely serious.

The deployment is the very well understood JVM and standard web servers. There's a common HTTP middleware framework (Ring), lots of choices for HTML generation and ClojureScript allows some code-sharing with your client side (compiles to JS).

On the back-end, you could use any Java library. On the front-end, you could use any JS framework (e.g. see https://github.com/omcljs/om)
What's wrong with that? Many great products started at companies which are not "supposed" to do that as their core business. Pivotal Tracker is one thing that immediately sprang to my mind. Why do you want to strictly limit what a company is working on, and potentially kill great ideas anyways. I believe as long as they're still functioning, their game development business is probably totally fine. The same applies to a person: I don't believe if you work on something as a full-time job you're then not allowed to have your hobbies, side projects(some of which are quite huge in scale) and personal interests. That would be horrible.
Nope. They changed that because the LDS had started expanding outside the US and into very ethnically mixed countries (Brazil). I know of no source claiming the move was motivated by IRS intervention.
> Looks to me like the only difference is the name.

That's literally what it is. People could get married in all 50 states before this ruling. At issue was whether it was officially recognized or not, which has been fixed.
> Is there such an equivalent for marriage?

Is walking into the courthouse hand-in-hand stating "We're married now; could you record that fact?" not such an equivalent?

Anecdotally, this is what a family friend who worked as a counselor for Southern Utah University observed repeatedly. SUU is located in Cedar City, which has one of the highest concentrations of present-day polygamists in the US.
Fascinating stuff, I've always been interested in tunnels and tunnel boring machines. As a teen I built an underground fortress of solitude in the unimproved desert near my house using cinder blocks for support that folks had dumped in the desert after finishing a block wall job. There was mortar mix as well so nearly two thirds of the interior walls were both brick and mortar. It was great fun to go into it during a hot day and cool off. It quickly became rather over run with snakes and scorpions who also appreciated its cool interior[1].

But my strongest memories of the place are about how good it felt to be carving a "space" out of nothing but dirt. It was almost magical in its ability to feel like creating something from nothing, even though it was just digging. Had the dot com crash not happened it was on my schedule to build a basement for my house. I got to see a two story basement (two levels down) in Palo Alto and it was really amazing to me. Almost like having an additional house to do with what you want.

It's fascinating to watch the changing reception of a given framework. I think this says a lot about how software projects grow old. Since my career is only slightly older than Rails, it's been the framework that I've got to watch the most completely. I recall in 2005 and 2006 there was an intense joy in the tech industry, relating to Rails, and it seemed like Rails was going to sweep the industry. In retrospect, that joy was mostly because Rails offered something simpler than the heavyweight Java frameworks that had dominated the era before. In 2006 there was the big question, "Is it Rails we love, or the ideas in Rails?" That is, did we all need to start using Ruby, or could we copy these ideas in whatever language we preferred? And nowadays we know the answer to that question. In 2005 and 2006 Rails had a huge impact on the industry, but by now its good ideas have been fully absorbed by other tech communities.

For those who want to remember the mood of the times, circa 2005, Bruce Eckel did a great job of capturing it in his December 2005 essay "The departure of the hyper-enthusiasts":

Religion is a choice, not a race. Nobody is "born Christian". You're born naked and crying with no such concept.

Religious intolerance can sometimes be aligned with racial intolerance, but it isn't racism.

Our product is a URL shortening service for individuals to monetize the content they share. Monetization occurs via an interstitial ad between the source of the short url (e.g. Facebook) and the destination of the short url (the content being shared).

The team right now is investing itself in areas such product, marketing, and architecture. We want to launch a product so we can begin testing our hypotheses, but we also want to go to battle sufficiently prepared. The latter requires significant effort in team building, which would detract from a product launch. What should we do?
You realize that there are legal scholars already positing their legality right now, right? It's not too hard to search Google to see some of the more interesting papers being written on the subject from the legal point of view.

The social and psychological aspects are still scarce since we live in a society built around western European Protestantism (heteronormative). So, whatever research that does exist is relatively new or limited in scope.
The state has a vested interest in procreation (i.e.: creation of new citizens & taxpayers as others die off), so takes an interest in "marriage" as a means for facilitating the most efficient & effective means of promoting procreation, doing so by giving special benefits in return for parents taking on special obligations. Expanding the beneficiaries of those benefits to those to whom there is absolutely no chance (to the point of the notion being preposterous based on just 2 literal bits of information) of procreation is giving benefits to those whom will give nothing back in return.

The problem, as you sort of touch on, is that between evolution, religion & politics we've added abstractions & tangents to the issue, making most people think it's really about feelings etc instead of the base issue of procreation.
> I understand, and accept if a family wants to have 3 adults. Or 4 adults. I'm even OK if children are raised in that atmosphere.

I'm with you here. But expecting same-sex couples to suffer for poly folks is not copacetic. The cat's out of the bag, and the line will continue to move. And that's a good thing.

> Doing as the GP said would have these archaic rules also overturned.

Doing as the GGP said would have nothing be done, in hopes that something was eventually done. Politics is the art of the possible. Don't pass up victories that are on the table.
Given it's illegal most everywhere, data is hard or little to come by.

There are two large groups: one with a pretty 'dirty' record regarding abuse/child marriages and another with a clean record. So this could come down more to an environment/community issue than a polygamy issue where, in one community/environment, abuse and child marriages are largely the norm and the other it isn't.

Warren Jeffs' Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints && Apostolic United Brethren. The former having the bad record and the latter having the clean record. (&& being the separator to avoid confusion) The former is larger than the latter but the latter is the second-largest church that practices polygamy.

E:

The burden of proof is also on you to prove that polygamy leads to abuse/child abuse as you are the one making the claim. Given there's little/no data to support either side, you'll have to wait for more research. Which would likely involve legalizing the practice and conducting studies.

We are starting to experience this in Toronto. For perspective, housing is considered fairly expensive in this city, and a 1 bedroom apartment will cost approximately 1000 CAD here. Per the article, it would cost 2300, and foreign investment will assuredly take the price there within a few years at the rate things are going now. It's absolutely terrifying.
Hey Kevin and Sam,

Pitch: We're ATLAS, we plan to launch extremely small cubesat payloads (x<100kg) into low earth orbit on demand.

1) How much calculations/numbers crunched would we need to convince angels to invest? Rockets of this size aren't something we can bootstrap without a little financial support.

More Background:

Right now, the only way to get a cubesat into orbit is by ridesharing on bigger rockets as a secondary payload. The problem with this is they're not assured to reach a preferred orbit and are at the mercy of the scheduling of the primary payloads. NASA currently has a backlog of ~50 cubesats that need to get into orbit, as well as the many upcoming launches (including SpX this Sunday). We are currently working on the RFP for the Venture Class Launch Service however we may not have the resources to fully complete it by the deadline (13 July). We plan to market this service to Universities as well as hobbyists and government space agencies.
LispWorks has a lot of features in its GC. Years ago it was used in a demanding telco application, an ATM switch. It was also used on a space mission experiment. Generally the runtime is very very nice.

Franz Inc uses Allegro CL in a large database. They tuned the GC quite a bit for that. But there were also other GC demanding applications on Allegro CL, for example in CAD and 3D design. They are now working on a concurrent GC, something which is still rare in the Lisp world.
I actually was somewhat angry that this didn't happen, the supreme court has the right to alter laws in the way mentioned.

Certainly, specific aspects of the rights/laws protected under marriage would need to change. Case in point, visitation rights for children. However, that could be altered more simply by creating visitation rights "emotionally invested parties" or something (which also would have worked for the gay or straight communities).

The fact is, all legalizing gay marriage does at a national level is reduce states rights. Yes, there is an emotional argument, that gay couples should be recognized, and I agree they should. However, there were many means to that end, and they chose one that appeased the masses, but perhaps was "less correct," in the sense that it is probably wrong for the government to interfere with any sort of bond between people in private.
Such self-hosted services might help us a lot, as Slack is currently blocked in China already. I think the two main reasons are that the Chinese government is unable to inspect the data at will, and also they fear sensitive data being leaked to the US government easily, which is actually quite legit. No interest in politics nonsense and having full control over your own sensitive data is probably the best possible thing to do.

Alfresco development, past present and future
I think it's pretty straightforward to come up with reasons why it's important to limit marriage to as few people as possible. One strong one being that it could be very bad for society to allow wealthy men (and women, though I think it would be less common) to marry a large number of women, especially due to the negative effect such a situation would have on lower class men.
Hearts and minds are more easily influenced by the status quo than one might think. People whose opposition wasn't obsessive tend to take note of the fact that they know some friends of friends who had one of those gay marriages and they're apparently very happy, whilst their pastor who gave such eloquent warnings about the impending moral breakdown of America whilst the anti-gay-marriage ballot initiatives were being drawn initiatives has changed the subject of his moral crusade to something else, and above all it doesn't really doesn't seem worth revisiting the issue or worrying about homosexuals at all when they could be mobilizing to save unborn babies, their constitutional right to lethal weaponry or the immortal soul of their atheist nephew. When change is less drastic than you feared, it becomes easier to accept than you anticipated.
Some states have started looking at dropping the formal recognition of marriage entirely. Increasingly devoid of any meaning, and given enough harassment for limiting who it applies to (consider, say, 12 people and a goat), comes a point where the state decides there is simply no point in recognizing the institution at all.
Good lord, I would go insane if I ran into a bug like this:

"We've built an esoteric application (even by Lisp standards), and in the process have hit some limits of our platform. One unexpected thing was heap exhaustion during compilation. We rely heavily on macros, and some of the largest ones expand into thousands of lines of low-level code. It turned out that SBCL compiler implements a lot of optimizations that allow us to enjoy quite fast generated code, but some of which require exponential time and memory resources. "
Is it possible that LGBT marriage rights were officially recognized because it was becoming apparent that the next step was to strip religion out of the discourse? Thereby losing a valuable beachhead in society? Nah. To conspiracy theory-ish.

• Microsoft helped the NSA to circumvent its encryption to address concerns that the agency would be unable to intercept web chats on the new Outlook.com portal;

• The agency already had pre-encryption stage access to email on Outlook.com, including Hotmail;

• The company worked with the FBI this year to allow the NSA easier access via Prism to its cloud storage service SkyDrive, which now has more than 250 million users worldwide;

• Microsoft also worked with the FBI's Data Intercept Unit to "understand" potential issues with a feature in Outlook.com that allows users to create email aliases;

• In July last year, nine months after Microsoft bought Skype, the NSA boasted that a new capability had tripled the amount of Skype video calls being collected through Prism;

• Material collected through Prism is routinely shared with the FBI and CIA, with one NSA document describing the program as a "team sport".
It is a reasonable position, but a realistic one only if you believe that the opposition to same-sex marriage is the use of the word "marriage" and not a fear-driven hatred of people with a different use for their plumbing. As it happens, I do not; I am entirely certain that "civil unions" being applied to gay people would call down the exact same rhetoric from the exact same people. (I am further certain that the whole "defense of marriage" is only a proxy for not being able to beat the shit out of gay people for funsies anymore. Progress, I suppose.)
It was not that bad, sometimes I don't like information presented in A, B, C format and like to figure things out. I enjoyed it.

The author cites Wikipedia. In the comments a poster claims to have added that bit to Wikipedia but was unable to cite any sources for it.

"Since i could not find any reference for it, I added it to the wikipedia page but was not fully certain i was right and that someone would remove it if i were wrong since i know really very little about how it works on the inside."
No it wasn't like that, it was just a chill thing we all did one day, and I don't think anyone was trying to short anyone else. I can excuse forgetting here and there, and most people don't carry cash around the office. It was fine, and a great place to work.
Hi Kevin and Sam,

We're from Mise. We are an online marketplace and meal delivery service for the signature/best dishes from professional chefs in the Bay Area. There’s a face and a story behind each dish. We do free weekly delivery to SF Bay Area, including San Jose & the Peninsula.

We operate on a revenue share model. Chefs source their own ingredients, pay for kitchen rental, cook dishes, and earn 70% of everything they sell. We apply our 30% towards delivery, personalized packaging, copy, and kitchen administrative fees.

We'd love to talk about obtaining that 10% week over week growth. We're launching in 2 weeks and have a lot of orders (but a good amount are on us and going out to influential members of the community). How do we grow that into paying customers? And is it too risky to keep giving out free product that when you have to also balance the returns of the suppliers/chefs themselves?

The debate about the Bill of Rights went like this:

For: Let's enumerate some rights, just in case future generations are stupidly literal about things and get confused because it's not all written down for them.

Against: Bad idea! By writing some down, we might create the impression that those are the ONLY rights.

For: Well then we'll make the 10th Amendment a catch-all, so it's crystal clear that rights exist beyond those we've enumerated so far.

------

So did the 10th Amendment work? It seems like probably not, since people so frequently refer to the Bill of Rights as proof that the Constitution "grants" rights--rather than the intended effect, which is that the Bill of Rights limits government power over rights that already (and always) exist.
BBC forgotten list 'sets precedent'
How is "diversity of population" automatically a good thing? Pirates from Somalia, mafia from Italy, wannabe ISIL, ... that's diverse. I find these lefty statements clumsy. As it happens, I do vote UKIP, which you'll love and jump at, but I do it for no reason other than to stop the population increasing, because London is quite simply completely and utterly failing, and unable, to deal with it. Last I saw 15 000 properties being built p/a; and population growth: "London had the highest growth, with population in the capital up 1.45%, a result of 82,400 more births than deaths and the highest net international migration of all regions at 107,400."[0] Enough building? Schools can't cope, ambulances can't cope, police can't cope, hospitals can't cope, the tube is a disgrace, housing is out of control and worsening, and as mentioned the air quality is unacceptable. The quality of life is poor, and deteriorating. Quality of life is important, unless you're the frog in a pot, and only realise its effects too late. London, quite simply, is broken.

It uses figwheel for the dynamic changes of state when you change to code, and it renders it without reload ala Bret Victor style. The first time I saw it I was amazed. It speeds up prototyping so much.

The out of the box performance is decent as well, Ring and Hiccup is pretty lean but you can go for more heavy frameworks (I don't have any experience with those).
