Realm Core Binary License states:
"This product is not being made available to any person located in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Syria or the Crimea region, or to any other person that is not eligible to receive the product under U.S. law."
I cannot understand who is the person mentioned. Is it a developer who uses Realm API or a user of an application developed using Realm?
To make my question clear:
1) May a developer located in one of those areas use Realm to develop apps upon its API?
2) May a user located in one of those areas use a program developed with use of Realm?
Thanks for answering!

I can't speak for Realm in this regard but will try to get the question answered definitively.
As public fact, both Apple and Google ban distribution of apps to Crimea. Speaking as an individual, I think these sanctions are sad and a US action aimed at the wrong people.
I found this article interesting on how people are trying to cope with the sanctions.

With many customers otherwise focused on other priorities due to COVID19 related issues, is there any potential for MSFT extending the support date for Basic Auth for EWS services?
The current date is mid-October 2020 and I know many banks are in a difficult position to try and migrate to Graph since it's new for most developers.
Its already been announced
In response to the COVID-19 crisis and knowing that priorities have changed for many of our customers we have decided to postpone disabling Basic Authentication in Exchange Online for those tenants still actively using it until the second half of 2021

In a package, I want to aknowledge someone's intellectual help, who has writen no code.
The question is about the best way to credit this help, as I don't find a role of persons who fits with this case.
In ?person, and "Who Did What" (The R Journal) the person's role closer to what I am looking for are:
"ctb" (Contributor): Authors who have made smaller contributions (such as code patches, etc) ...
"ths" (Thesis advisor): Thesis advisor ...
But the person whose help I want to aknowledge has writen no code, and this is not a thesis
The answer has came from the link provided by #Axeman with the full list of roles:
Consultant [csl]
A person or organization relevant to a resource, who is called upon for professional advice or services in a specialized field of knowledge or training
Consultant to a project [csp]
A person or organization relevant to a resource, who is engaged specifically to provide an intellectual overview of a strategic or operational task and by analysis, specification, or instruction, to create or propose a cost-effective course of action or solution
The question has been put on hold, if it is reopen I would like #Axeman to make his comment as an answer, to accept it.
If it is considered proper by someone with enough reputation, it could be tagged as persons, credit or attribution.
Regards.

I'm currently involved in a scrum project for a small organization.
Some events have led us to believe the organization doesn't understand their role in the scrum process. We've already gone as far as arguing about the size of the development team which, in my opinion, shouldn't be something for them to worry about (negative conclusion to this project has little to no impact on their end and large impact on us).
Learning the lingo as they go, they've asked us if they could see our backlog.
I don't have a ton of experience with scrum but is it wise to show it?
I fear we might get a lot of negative feedback because they don't understand the process all that well.
(Additional context: we are students and this situation is not covered by our classes, our teacher hasn't responded to our e-mails yet.)
Scrum is transparent. Everything the team does is open and visibile to all interested parties. Regular showcases are held to demonstrate completed work and both the sprint and project backlogs are public.
If you are following the Scrum framework then you will have a Product Owner who represents the business and is fully engaged with the team. It is the Product Owners responsibility to engage with stakeholders (i.e. other business users) to explain the contents of the product backlog.

What kind of on-line / real-time applications have you deployed using R? [closed]

R can be very useful for prototyping and some exploratory work. However, I'd like to know what kind of on-line or real-time applications have you (the SO reader) successfully deployed using R and why did you choose R for that task.
Questions:
What kind of problem did it solve? (trending, analysis, etc.)
Why did you choose R over other programming languages? (pros/cons: speed, scaling, etc.)
I'm looking for first-hand experiences, so please do not answer unless you have that.
The breadth of applications is beyond the scope of StackOverflow.
Suppose I said that Java is a fine language for mucking around with APIs, but can anyone point to where it's used in the real world for real deployments? The list would be rather large, with, I kid you not, at least dozens of examples.
If you wish to see examples of real world use, stop by the Bay Area R Users Group, which has had presentations # or by people from Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and more. There are smaller offshoots in NYC, LA, Chicago, London, and elsewhere (there are even Aussies and Kiwis who use R).
So, the best solution to see documented usage is to go to Meetup.com, search for [city] R user group, and identify a Meetup, then select "Past" to see past presentations.

Suppose an actor A has the site of an actor B in iFrames. There is no difference in the sites except the url. Urls are totally different. Should the actor A ask a permission of the actor B for using B's site? Is there any law that forbid placing other site on a site in iFrames?
Not a programming question, but at least let me help you with a link to a site. The owner of plagiarismtoday.com have had some of your concerns and, although not a lawyer, have collected quite a bit of information.

Read The Law on Framing and follow the link to the case of Washington Post v. TotalNews
You should also check your country and local state laws, there is no such thing as a standard legal solution because it changes from one place to the other and many countries do not have laws on what you are asking. However, let me tell you, the web seems to be dominated by two frame of mind, or law philosophy:
lex mercatoria: these folks tend to think the web is commerce and commerce laws should apply, which are mostly derived by mores and civil laws
lex retis: these folks say the web is anarchy, no law should govern it
PS: I am a lawyer. Even if this is a bit complicated, I hope you can get an idea.
As far as I can tell, it only becomes a legal problem if the iframe is used to perpetrate fraud, deceptive marketing, or somesuch. Short of that, it's merely annoying. You can always use framebusters/framekillers if it bothers you enough.
