Of course the training can't say that it will work, but it obviously does. It means that in the initial discovery, these emails won't be sent to the other party, claiming privilege. Then, if somehow the other party finds out that they exist, they need to litigate this particular case to decide if such and such email was indeed privileged or not.

Now, if a company had an official policy of misusing their legal team in this way, they could probably be assured for that in itself, the lawyers who accepted it personally penalized etc. So, of course the company trainings will tell you very specifically not to do this, and perhaps lawyers will even reply from time to time to emails that are trying to abuse this system. But it seems, if the government is right, that in this case this was all a rise trying to establish plausible deniability for all involved of a widespread practice.

I cannot imagine the pain you're feeling. I'd just like to add to the other comments that you can also refuse the settlement and still not pursue litigation (the latter will undoubtedly add additional stress). The advantage here is that you are not bound to any NDA and will be free to speak out about this your own terms, and in your own time. Especially if the money is insignificant to you. Ultimately, you should choose the way that will give the best opportunities for healing for both you are your family.
In my opinion Morris was not a socialist, he was an
anti-industrialist, and by implication, anti-cartel/monopoly. I don't
even think he was an anti-capitalist in that he championed
petit-commerce and boutique trade.

This is the big problem today isn't it? The patent system. Specious

You don't even know what my position is. But this adaption of language is pretty indicative in my opinion. Maybe I am wrong, but more relevant to medicine is sex instead of gender.

The big difference is that traditional automakers are almost entirely supplier-innovation-driven and their competitive advantage basically lies in the integration of these supplied parts and solutions. If there are problems with, for example, the Drive Pilot, they will likely blame the supplier of the system and force them to take responsibility/cost.
For me a language is easier to learn if I can actually use it. For me his rule of thumb is less a rule and more like how my mind works (and to agree all I guess). I can memorize unused facts, but it gets lost in big life changes usually which is really frustrating.

I lost my mom last year, and I can't imagine what it would be like to lose one of my kids.

Not sure what jurisdiction you're in, but here are some things to consider.

1. The law on wrongful death in your jurisdiction. Many states have caps. Was the offer close to the cap?

2. Punitive damages. You don't get punitive damages for ordinary negligence. Typically it requires a reckless disregard for the rights of others, e.g. 66 in a 65 doesn't cut it, but 100 might. You mentioned that he fled. That is largely irrelevant - the issue is what he was doing at the time of the accident. What did the mediator think your chances for punitive damages?

3. Be realistic about what a trial will accomplish. Mostly it will be billable hours for the defense attorneys and experts. Chances are its not going to change how the company operates any more than the tragedy already has.

Again, my condolences.
The ancients put rhythm to their poems for a reason. It aids memorization of long passages.

Whilst the names may change, there have always been threats and attacks on democracy, wealth, welfare and sovereignty for as long as history records.

Typically with the aim of shifting power from one group to another.

The world isn't getting worse, we just hear a lot more about what's going on.

People are as selfish and power/money hungry as they've always been. Humans haven't changed, there's just a lot more of us each day.

We're a long way from global peace and economic and environmental harmony but I feel like there are a lot of people who want to try.

More people than ever before and with the Internet providing means of rapid, global communication and coordination those voices are reaching further.

If we can replace capitalism with something sustainable that brings peace and equality to all, perhaps then the world will start to be a better place (but will we ever rid ourselves of the selfishness that means some people want to be more equal than others).
You hate when someone with more power than you uses an inquisitive tone?

What tone do you want?
It depends. I think one or two dedicated engineers could spend some time and make a huge improvement.

I worked on an embedded system with an Allwinner chipset. We tried to reduce power consumption, not to save battery since it was a cabled system, but to reduce heat. It turns out nobody, not Allwinner who provided the BSP, not the board designer, nor the final customer who developed the application software cared to optimize the OS much. The CPU had four cores, but only one was occupied most of the time. But all cores were at 100% frequency. Configurable voltages were also all on the upper edge. I enabled frequency scaling, switched to the correct scheduler, and now the board was much cooler and ran with more than twice the performance.

I'm always surprized how many low-hanging fruit there are in these kind of systems.
True.

The difference is that Mercedes will have to pay your relatives while Tesla will say "after 2 hours on autopilot the driver wasn't able to take over in a split second"

I am so terribly sorry to hear what has happened to your family. What you have gone through and what you are going through are unspeakably painful. When I lost my wife last year, I needed a lot of comforting. I still do. I'm not sharing this with you because I think you needed to get religion or change religion or whatever. I'm sharing it because it helped me and continues to help me immeasurably:

https://www.jw.org/en/library/magazines/g201407/tragedy-loss...

What you learn in that will help you.

You may also need to accept that it might be out of your power to fix this situation. That doesn't mean you failed your son. It means that the world around us is broken. As individuals we can't always do anything to fix it. And I'm not saying don't fight. I'm saying count the cost.

But there is something that's broken that you can do something about: Your surviving family. They need you. You need them. Focus on the living and your son will never be forgotten. It already took his life. Don't let it take yours too.

The Bible teaches that when a body dies the existence has ended. But yours continues, so focus on taking care of yourself and your wife. Hang in there. It does get better but you have to work toward that. Work on regaining focus on the things that are most important so that you can help your family get through every day.

I will pray that God comforts you the way he is comforting me.

Probably the same as their stance on using Pis for retro gaming, media players, and magic mirrors. Just because much of western academia has a deep hatred for all things military related doesn't mean that anything created for use in education is fundamentally at odds with use in the military. As shocking as it might seem, the military actually does a lot of teaching.

There's a cost efficiency point where this argument becomes valid.

At small company sizes, where dedicated security team or an admin with sufficient expertise to do proper setup is unaffordable, risk of Okta breach is lower than risk of automated custom setup breach. When you are big enough to deploy self-hosted solution and maintain it for reasonable cost, then yes, I would agree with you, self-hosted setup may reduce risks. When does that happen? When your company has over 1000 people (to break even with your Okta spending) or when your revenue per employee is high enough to spend every year 200-300k€ just on security.

I can tell you never have, because there's no such thing as a generic OAuth2 implementation. They're all slightly different and incompatible. SAML is what you really want in terms of making things works more generically, but even that is generally a nightmare as you still need mappings.
I speak two languages, one of which is English. I learned them in my early formational years, so I wouldn't consider myself to have learned them using "active" memorization. I was also conversational in Finnish as a child, though I've since completely forgotten the language.

Learning new languages no doubt involves a lot of memorization no matter which way you look at it, but I think you'd agree that the "active" kind is much more mentally taxing than the passive "immersion" kind, the latter of which I take no issue with. I also don't contend that learning a new language as an adult necessarily involves active rote learning.

I have had to learn other languages at school, including ones with non-Latin writing systems. It did involve a lot of rote learning, which I did to pass the classes, shortly after which I forgot everything. I personally don't value learning new languages, an opinion which I realize might come across as a bit uncultured.
Wouldn't be surprised if more of these end up in industrial civilian use than in actual military use.
I get the feeling you either didn't read the article or you disagree with it.

Wrongful Death

Claims for wrongful death usually encompass compensatory damages for physical and mental injury, as well as punitive damages for reckless, malicious, or reprehensible conduct. As a result, both claims may generate settlement amounts. Any amounts determined to be compensatory for the personal physical injuries are excludable from gross income under IRC § 104(a)(2). Any amounts determined to be punitive are not excludable under IRC § 104(a)(2). This is true regardless of whether the punitive amounts are received prior or subsequent to the August 20, 1996, amendment. See O’Gilvie v. United States, 519 U.S. 79 (1996).
Caution, however, should be used in applying the general rule that punitive damages received in wrongful death case are taxable. Historically, the courts have looked to the state statute under which the wrongful death claim was litigated to determine whether there could be compensatory and/or punitive damages awarded. This search may reveal a state statute which provides only for punitive damages in wrongful death claims. In these cases, IRC § 104(c) allows the exclusion of punitive damages for amounts received after 1996.
My big tip, always change the problem to fit the resources you have.
If the problem is hard, don't solve it, change the problem.
> even if the vaccine is medically inappropriate, or even contraindicated for millions?

We've already crossed the Rubicon on this, and countries will justify infringing the rights of millions if a policy has a potential of saving millions more. Fortunately I can't think of a situation where a contagious human virus would be the only or the best way to save millions, but governments have no trouble making the ethically-questionable decision that some groups of people should die through lockdowns in order that other (generally older) groups of people should survive.

> mandates it for foreign travellers in transit who got stuck in your country? mandates for the foreign diplomatic staff?

A government could announce the policy well in advance, to give people a chance to leave, although the distinction between at home and abroad is moot if the contagion can spread outside the country, which of course it will. Again, sadly, there are plenty of countries that take the view that citizens of other countries have effectively no moral weight and the government has no duty to protect their rights.
This makes no sense; virtually nobody is picking which phone to buy on the basis of 130mAh of battery capacity, and these are different devices to boot with different screens and cameras.
Good analysis.

MB also uses cameras extensively. LIDAR and maps are used in addition.

I wonder whether these approaches will one day meet in the middle.
>Tesla probably has the lead on average but can't (or won't) guarantee that their system is safe in a specific set of best case conditions.

Do people not see how much of a nightmare it would be if liability is constantly switching back and forth depending on the circumstances the self-driving system is being used under? The only practical approach is to either have the driver always be responsibile when the system is on or the manufacturer always be responsible when the system is on. The choice to use the latter approach means the system has to be limited to very narrow circumstances. That doesn't mean the system is necessarily safer than the competitors in those circumstances, it simply means that the companies are approaching the same problem from differenct angles.
> Why do you get to choose

Presumably this "you" is the parent. They get to decide when (or if) they have kids and they can now decide what kind of kids they have. Just like folks can (and should) already screen for certain heritable disabilities.

> Have you ever asked one of these people if they find their lives to be meaningless?

They'll either be depressed or they won't feel this way. By definition, the ones that are well-functioning parts of society won't feel this way. I don't see why it should matter.

Fluoride in the water, and all of the examples of fortified foods don’t seem like directly comparable situations to me. There’s nothing that compels anybody to drink the water provided by their local government over any other water, or to use iodized salt over non-iodizeds salt. Drinking tap water in general is weird to me as I grew up in a place where that was certainly not something people did. But in any case, there’s no compulsion to drink tap water, no requirement to prove to others how much tap water you’ve consumed, no consequences for failing to drink tap water, and a number of readily available alternatives for anybody who doesn’t want to drink tap water.
Here's one more from me: count your liabilities.

1. Code is a liability. No code? No bugs. The best commit is one that removes unnecessary code. This includes dependencies.

2. State is a liability. Multipliers for: hidden or non-obvious state, shared state, externally (by actors you don't control) accessible state, concurrently accessed/mutated state. Often the worst offenders are environment settings/configuration, such as Windows Registry, environment variables, installed dependencies, daemon services, etc, scoring full points.

3. All publicly observable behavior is a liability. Also known as Hyrum's Law: "all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody", or https://xkcd.com/1172/. Huge multiplier for systems with a long expected lifespan, and another huge one if you guarantee backwards compatibility to paying customers. Program under this assumption, and if you can hide or control your internal behavior, do it. E.g.: maybe don't output results reliant on a HashSet order - sort them.

None of these are hard 'rules'. Often the liability is necessary, or worth the saved effort or gained feature. But be aware of them, and minimize them where possible.
"Git push is prod push"
> Never start coding (making a solution) unless you fully understand the problem. It’s very normal to spend more time listening and reading than typing code. Understand the domain before starting to code. A problem is like a maze. You need to progressively go through the code-test-improve cycle and explore the problem space till you reach the end.

I agree with a lot of the points made by the author (2, 5, 7, and 8 really resonate with me too) but I think this one is my favourite. One strategy I've used which is successful - but not very popular - is "readme based development". The concept is simple, if we're building something new then the first thing we should do is summarise the project in the readme. If we spend time describing the problem and scope of the project and finessing it down to a few sentences before we start coding then we should have a better chance of staying on track and have an easier time communicating with others. The bigger the project the more useful this can be but unfortunately the majority of folks I've worked with do not like writing.
First of all, sorry for your loss.

You should really, _really_ speak to a therapist. This one of the best things you could do, by a far margin. It will help you in your life much more than getting a big sum from the company that wants to shut you up.

Both OS have a similar stance on background running processes - they kill them after a short delay. Iphones are more aggressive and consistent about it, and android OEMs sometimes give exceptions for their own bloatware.
> I've seen "Why don't you do X" phrased in a variety of ways, and the best phrasing I've found seen was along the lines of "I would normally do X in the scenario you've described, but Y was obviously better for your use case, would you mind sharing why?"

There are multiple assumptions in that question that could make it crash and burn really badly. What if they actually didn't consider X? What if they do think Y is better, and X is interim? What if they had a lazy reason to prefer Y, and interpret the hyping up of the quality of their decision as calling them out?
I don't know about every single day, but I've worked professionally as a software developer since 1998; and I've been writing code for fun outside of work since I got my first computer around 1985.

Work is when someone tells me what to do or where/how to do it, which is why they usually have to pay me obscene amounts to make it happen.

Show HN: Micro-financing for inventory based startups
Dear HN,

We just launched a small micro-financing fund for startups and businesses that deal with inventory/physical stake.

The project is known as Comenda which is a classic form of financing that was used in Europe during the Renaissance. We're aiming to revive this.

There is currently upto £200k ($250k approx) available for startups that meet the funding criteria.

The great thing about Comenda is that there is no equity stake required by the investor and there are no interest repayments.

Comenda is centred purely around using the inventory as security/collateral.

If you're interested in getting a capital injection for your startup, please check out the website and fill in the form
