Why would you sue if you have been compensated adequately?
I would say the opposite: The failure of a customer facing business to compensate their client adequately when they've clearly screwed up opens them to larger losses via lawsuit.
They've "bought" the damages from you and may now take action against the airport worker as a victim.
- perihelions 2y ago- "Why would you sue if you have been compensated adequately?" The amount is not adequate and is not the settlement a victim represented by attorneys would negotiate. A victim without legal counsel would not realize this.
- thriftwy 2y agoI agree with this, but that's just extra compensation for having to interact with lawyers and the possibility of losing or getting stuck. So the customer-facing business can very often accept a deal when it's still cheap by not growing extra transaction costs aroung you. Come to think you, lawsuit decision is basically a deal you can't refuse.
- hef19898 2y agoEven better question: why is this case of simple theft on the HN front page? Edit: It was not the airline who stole anything, it was, allegedly, an airport employee.
- lkdfjlkdfjlg 2y agobEcAuSe ItS iNtErEsTiNg Seriously, every time I ask that question that's the answer I get, because the guidelines say that "HN isn't just tech or business, it's anything that's interesting". So I guess someone found a case of theft interest.
- halfmatthalfcat 2y agoBecause using Find My beyond "did I forget my phone" is topically interesting for HN.

- hef19898 2y agoInteresting, what's the difference?
- perihelions 2y agoSlower page update, that tends to filter out this kind of ("news"-like) HN story. Things that pop up on the front page, and fall off 30 minutes later, will not show up there. https://news.ycombinator.com/best https://news.ycombinator.com/best takes it even further in the "slow" direction.
