I think it's not too surprising that the law treats people with diminished capacity differently. It's not a bug, it's a feature, even though it may feel upsetting. There's no winning solution in a case like that.

Did that work in the 18th century? Hanging a few pirates eliminated piracy? It's my understanding it was more about the loss of favorable basing and the reduction in Spanish shipments of treasure that caused the decline. We've ki

We have a 5gbps pipe; routinely download games from Steam at >3gbps; when I had to reinitialize my cloud backup it was >4gbps. All of this without impacting anyone else on the pipe. Yah, our P95 bandwidth is just a few megabits per s

10 years ago, you spent $40 for a few port unmanaged gigabit switch and $80-100 for the bottom tier web-managed crap. That corresponds to $50 and $105-130 in today's money. Now you can get it 10 times faster with an OK management layer

It's worth pointing out that wages in the US are vast compared to other developed countries, though, too. We outspend OECD by 35-40%, but our average national wage is also higher than OECD by 35-40%.

It's pretty common to pick a few config parameters, click, and flash a firmware that does the things you want. Yes, you could make the configuration into a separate uf2 object that overwrites other bytes, but that's yucky. The acc

The reason why entities comply with the wishes of courts is because there's consequences if they don't. Consequences like being filtered.

The runway is going to be your time and attention span, not $10/mo. I don't know what you value your time or opportunity cost as... but the $10/mo doesn't need to save very many minutes of your time deferring dealing wit

This is a legally tricky minefield. Depending on what is in summary, it -may- be subject to copyright but be protected as fair use... but a work being unpublished weighs against (but does not preclude) free use. I could see an argument tha

Yup. It is a little undesirable for various reasons, and not every landfill is suitable for construction on top (seismics, sealing/capping technique, materials, etc).

We already mine landfills -- mostly for land reclamation but sometimes to recover resources. In the longer run, when there's been more compaction, settling, and densification (and changes in what things are valuable), and more need to

I don't think you're saying different things. All the unpredictable and chaotic environmental influence is, being uncontrolled and unknowable-- effectively random.

If you take actions to deliberately weaponize your product against children in particular , whatever it is -- you shouldn't be surprised when liability attaches. That's what this verdict is about.

Looks like RWSL did indeed warn for this accident. So maybe RWSL needs to be made more obnoxious (or just speakers in ground vehicles that blare when you're approaching a red RWSL threshold). And, of course, training to really actuall

On the flipside, look at the success of TCAS. It doesn't have a perfect operational history. It hasn't completely eliminated midairs, either. But it took a relatively rare event and further reduced the frequency by about a fa
