The American legal system places much more emphasis on acts you may have committed than omissions, and tends to avoid compelling action.

So yes, in an American court, disabling a proven safety feature is significantly worse than simply purchasing a vehicle without the feature.

The safety driver failed at their job, but the NTSB clearly lays significant blame for that failure on Uber, who should know well that humans are poorly suited to monitoring automated systems, and committed acts and omissions that increased the likelihood of an accident.

Listening to the recording, this is something pilots saw on 10 mile final approach at ~3000 feet. There is not going to be any airport video of this.

The decision (linked above) makes the distinction based on Amazon placing itself in the supply chain between distributor and customer. eBay seems safe from this one, Newegg will have liability for those 3rd party products they actually ship.

This is extremely rare in the US judicial system, and prosectors tend not to like take cases where the victim or a key witness is no longer willing to testify.

Yes, judges and lawyers for both parties in a case can legally compel witnesses to show up and testify, but doing so tends to damage the credibility of the witness, which can be fatal for their testimony.

As another city-dwelling office worker, I used to carry a knife everyday when I had a use for it at work. Changed jobs and eventually I realized I hadn't used it in months, so I stopped carrying it. My partner has a pretty large knife collection and enjoys expanding it, but similarly doesn't find it convenient to actually carry one.

"markets can remain irrational a lot longer than you and I can remain solvent."

TSLA proves this in spades, right now the stock is trading at more than double what Elon said was "overvalued" 10 weeks ago.

Isn't that a good thing for alternative social media sites? A centralized site run by that crowd is probably the optional solution for everyone.

Pre-COVID I traveled frequently to see family on the opposite coast, this is still possible with TSA Pre and only carry on bags at most major airports.

However, it's risky now because airlines are under much more pressure to get flights off the gate, and they'll gladly close the door on you if somehow they have a quick boarding process.

In fairness to the public, the two companies involved in producing Concorde have each changed names 3+ times after merging with other major aircraft and industrial concerns, and are each now fading memories as part of the two largest European aerospace & defense conglomerates.

I'd actually wager a significant portion of the population would correctly say Airbus, but for the wrong reasons - it's the only French aerospace company they can think of.

I did a straw poll among some friends and got a lot of "I don't know what that is. Do you mean the grape?"

I think you simply misread the article.

> A half hour later, he was touring a decommissioned chemical manufacturing plant that had been used to turn oil into plastics, with Chakrabarti’s father, Gopendu, a chemical engineer and entrepreneur. The hulking factory, on a 5-acre site, still had intact piping and tanks, and even boasted a 1-acre apple and pear orchard, planted by the previous owner as a carbon offset. The elder Chakrabarti swore they’d never find a better space. After touring 20 more sites over the next month, Hunt finally agreed. Solugen paid nearly $3 million for the plant.

They toured the plant with him, taking advantage of free advice from a knowledgeable, skilled person. They didn't pay him.

And in Mexico uses cane sugar.

A quick Google shows common usage of "Public Company" in US publications, in the manner described by GP.

A significant number of the "facts" you're citing are under dispute.

There's significant documentary evidence of the incident on video, starting ~27:50: https://www.facebook.com/derk.brown.5/videos/154551737227670...

There's also some dispute about the legal disposition of the property on which protesters may have been protesting, but at worst it appears to be a private street. Just because it is a private property doesn't mean it was their private property, to defend with threats of lethal violence. Being a member of the HOA and paying your dues doesn't give legal title to treat property as your own.

This is really terrible blanket advice, CF is one of AWS' worst products in my extensive experience with it (My team manages a ~$4 million monthly bill and locked into CF well before I joined). It has a number of significant limitations that aren't applied to terraform, it's pretty important to understand those tradeoffs if you're buying in.

Given that AWS supports terraform, it's really on them to provide a calculator for it as well. We're large enough that we just spent an obscene amount of money on employee time and effort to track our billing (lots of automated tagging), but until we did that it wasn't uncommon for a couple hundred thousand dollars of unnecessary charges to hit our bill every month.

Pretty sure GP is talking about restricted/banned activities for government workers and contractors with clearances:

- You may not smoke marijuana - it violates federal law.

- You are required to regularly report on close contact with foreign nationals, though I'm not sure a casual hookup meets that criteria. But if you're in an ongoing sexual relationship with a foreign national the Feds will want to know.

This sounds a lot like my experience with AWS support.

They really deeply understand AWS, are very responsive to calls/emails, but often have no tools to solve the problem we're having right now.

This even happened with some of their high end hardware, we did an upgrade for a critical set of instances to some extremely pricey dedicated hosts and ended up in a runaround for over a week due to a hardware issue on their side.

Home delivery NY Times is more than 2x the cost of digital (dependent on location), you're already getting the "no paper" discount by buying digital.

It doesn't fully explain why they priced a $24 pizza at $16. I wouldn't be surprised if they're subsidizing purchases, but just skipping fees doesn't explain that.

No perfect solution, for sure, but you have some reasonably options to mitigate risk. If you can, use one outside the US i.e. with no financial presence of any kind there.

Admittedly that's a high bar, the next best choice is one that claims to keep no logs and has successfully defended such a claim to law enforcement. Not a long list here, but there are some.

I'm right there with you, I considered building my own home simulator cockpit for a while, but gave up due to ROI. They're so expensive and time consuming even for a low fidelity one, and I'd need to build a new one for every plane I want to fly.

If you're comfortable with and willing to spend the money on VR, I was able to buy a peripheral that allows interaction with 3D cockpits in simulators such as DCS. It's not as good as a real simulator, but it's an awesome experience at less than 10% the price.

This is a false choice, he could easily do both.

From a quick Google it appears he has in fact contributed to efforts for food donation, as well as childcare for healthcare workers.

This is a fantasy. I work at large B2B SaaS, middle management politickers have doubled down and are just having even more meetings, which are no longer impeded by pesky things like conference room availability, business travel or personal time.

Bamboo fabrics can be made that are not rayon, but they are significantly more time and energy consuming and thus far more expensive.

Marketing rayon as bamboo in the US is a labeling violation enforced by the FTC.

Gasoline and other petroleum derivatives are not a stable as their underlying source. However consumer gas will last a few years with proper care and storage, the real issue will be when appropriate storage runs out.

The US completed 542 liberty ships in 1942, and 1943 was their peak production year: https://www.mathscinotes.com/2018/05/liberty-ship-production...

They reduced liberty ship production in 1944 to produce warships (which are more complex and were produced in much lower numbers)

I don't know how you understood my comment to mean that we should be withdrawing education from students who are able to access it. Remedy in these situations typically looks like making up lost educational hours and paying for internet access for students who are unable to afford it.

Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) is a federally recognized civil right, states and districts can't opt out of it.

Unfortunately it takes lawsuits to resolve these kinds of disparities, but there is no legal basis to proceed without making appropriate accommodations for students in low income families.

I'm not sure anyone is tracking this in an accessible way, but school meals almost everywhere are likely still available. Schools have large minimum orders sizes and federal/state funding is tied around providing food, so they're highly incentivized to figure out how to distribute it in order to get the cashflow to pay off those contractual obligations.

I believe in this case he's talking about MTLS:

> OASA also protects these hops by issuing client certificates with 10-minute expirations after first verifying your identity through our single sign-on provider, and then also verifying you are on a pre-enrolled (and approved) trusted company device.

I work at a large B2B SaaS that stores customer data, we pay extra for the option not to return failed drives that can't be wiped for RMA. We still get a replacement but the original is physically destroyed with a shredder.
