How about laws having a clause describing how to measure how effective the law is at achieving the goal after a period of time, and automatic deactivation of the law if the intended effect isn't achieved? (unit tests)

But how to know if the bird is flying or driving?

"application cannot be opened" is a false statement. It can be opened, and the user can open it, but they won't tell you how because they didn't get their bribe.

We depend on some open source tools. When my project is blocked by a bug in one of them, it absolutely is my job to fix it.

Checking https://status.inreach.garmin.com/ (oh the memories) Looks like the meat and potatoes held together! I'd credit segregated infrastructure and redundancy.

Also should note: the life-critical infrastructure was somewhat insolated from the rest of it.

Ex Garmin employee here. Some of their infrastructure supports emergency response. Hard to know how much of what went offline, but if /that/ goes down, people die. On-call was not fun.

And conveniently forgetting that I set my default browser to anything other than whatever-microsoft-vomited-up-most-recently.

Well, browse to a FB page on mobile, and play "find the data source". When you lose that game, I'd say they did not "make the user aware".

it would take a lot of convincing for me to welcome Facebook into any project I'm part of. I've pointed out to one of their POs that they are violating OSMs copyright by not showing any attribution when browsing on mobile. I'

This might be the right time to suggest OpenStreetMaps. I turned to it after not being able to fix things in Google and endless advertising. OSM data is flaky... but you can fix it!

Sounds like the driver is the loose end. I wonder if the author considered becoming a Doordash driver just for the arbitrage transactions.

There's been plenty of computer-throwing and crying, but all worth it. Now I can get directions without my phone highlighting every Mc Donalds and saying things like "turn left at the People's United Bank". I started to

Yeah, I tried to switch off google maps and could only get directions to street intersections or towns. Instead of getting mad about it, I decided to fix it.

Same at my doctor. I asked to see what I was signing and the receptionist said no one had ever asked before. She had to get the manager to figure out how to print it.

They didn't use good, standard practices for handling the exception. It's an example of them not taking their own advice. Advice I'm sure you could find on the website, if it wasn't down.
