Sorry, yes, you are right. It’s a similar analysis probably because Title VII is also grounded in the 14th Amendment.

The decision affects private entities that accept some form of federal financial assistance (this is language from Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act), not private entities writ large. Granted, that is still a big bucket.

I just started law school so don't take this answer as definitive but a couple of things I thought of were:
1. For the statute of limitations, I believe that the time point to look at is when the lawsuit was filed (as opposed to when the guilty plea comes through). All that matters was that lawsuit was filed __before__ the statute of limitations ran out.
2. Additionally, there are scenarios where the law/courts will allow people to file suits after the statute of limitations runs out but that varies by jurisdiction and by the law that governs the crime committed. (For more info, you can check out equitable/statutory tolling).

Tim Kendall also appears on the Netflix documentary, “Social Dilemma”. I would highly recommend giving it a watch.

Re:Ask HN: What are some of the best documentaries you've seen?

'Chasing Ice'! It's about a photographer (James Balog) who set up cameras in parts of Greenland, Iceland and Alaska to take time lapses of glaciers over the course of a couple of years. The images (and the difference that a couple of years makes) is astounding -- it truly is the most stunning visualization of global warming/climate change that I have ever seen.
And it's on Netflix.

Re:Ask HN: Can we add an “Outline” link for paywalls?
on Friday June 15, 2018 @11:41AM (#17320559)
You should try the existing Outline chrome extension. After you install it, whenever you go to a paywalled site, all you have to do is click the Outline button in your menubar/taskbar and it takes you to the Outline link for that article.

> The judge indicated during the trial that he wasn’t buying Shapiro’s projection. After his testimony, Leon said he was "confused." Further explanation from Shapiro didn’t help.
"I’m not sure I got it, but it’s too late and too hot to belabor the point any further," the judge said.
Amazing on so many different levels.

I would recommend checking out the podcast ‘The 80,000 hours’ if you are interested in this kind of stuff. It’s hosted by Rob Wiblin who is the executive director at Effective Altruism. He talks to very interesting people (mostly academics) about “the world's most pressing problems and how you can use your career to solve them” (taken from his website).
