Dear Bereaved Parent,

Given how you have phrased the situation, I don't think you or your wife are in a place to take on battles. Please take care of yourself first, take care of your wife; tell her to take care of herself first, and then to care for you.

Take the advice of others here that makes sense to you. But give that your grief continues on after 2 years of losing your son, I would, if I were you, pick the suggestions (like that of @throwawaylinux) that help you resume normal life; it's definitely not going to be the same normal, but it would be better than how you feel now.

I have experienced personal losses, and it has taken me years to come to terms with my life as it is right now. I'm not fully recovered from those losses, but after a lot of recovery, I now consider myself to be extremely lucky to be healthy, and have a very happy family.

I am in the Bay Area. I can come talk to you, and see if I can be of any help as you navigate this tough part of your life. Please do not hesitate to send me an email gurjeet@singh.im, or share your phone number in email.

Lots of love, and wishing you lots of strength.

Addendum: Of course, the culprits need to be brought to justice; be it the person who did it, the people who let it occur, or the emotionless company that continues its operations as if nothing happened.

But bringing them to justice doesn't have to come at a cost as big as your and your family's mental health. I'm sure you've spoken to lawyers, but if not, please get one. I'm sure there are lawyers who will not cost you anything money wise, and agree to be paid after the settlement. I have personally never dealt with lawyers, so I cannot suggest how to evaluate them; but look for lawyers/practices that treat you with utmost respect, and understand the pain you and your wife are in.

Not getting a legal representation, or just accepting the other party's offer, even if they manage to make it look large for you, will make you feel bad later on. For an auto accident I was in, I dragged my feet, because the money other party's insurance company was offering was not significant for me, and my symptoms were manageable. So when the Statue of Limitations was about to expire, I simply accepted their offer; never engaged an attorney. Now, years later , the symptoms are very hard to manage, and I wish I had engaged an attorney to represent me.

TLDR: Take care of your and your wife's mental well-being, then engage a good lawyer.
Well, that is the catch: you can engage the system only on certain roads which also happen to have a divider between the traffic directions. So it is basically impossible to be facing an incoming truck there.

Please don’t misunderstand me; I really think that SOLID is good to follow. My comment was more meant to express understanding for people having doubts about SOLID in situations where the SOLID principles don’t give as much of an obvious benefit.
I never understood why others are not required to do so. Even when you stand outside your Tesla and "summon" it to you and it drives into something; you're somehow legally the driver?
Find a lawyer incentivized to sue the F out of them. Find a good psychologist and also a marriage counselor. Spend money on mental health. Consider having more kids if you can.

COVID, Russian war, Cyber criminal gangs, this world just keeps getting worse.
My guess is that the attack path is probably some externally hired SOC that was working for Okta. Big corporates usually think it's a wise business decision to hire external cyber security people, with full-blown admin access to everything.

Because, technically speaking, Okta advertises with their SOC II / ISO27001 / ISO27017 / ISO27018 compliance certificates [1] and [2]; which means there has to be an incident response system that would've caught this. Well, either that, or the ones that manage the incident response system are the mischiefs themselves.

Highway traffic is the one thing I would trust a self driving car with right now, and that's how most of the time is spent on long trips. If can legally watch a movie or browse the web while my car is simply following the line (including traffic jams), then I'd be perfectly happy. Just alert me 5 minutes before the exit or intersection and let me handle that.
This, the fact that they keep increasing prices and that the phone is barely functional makes me feel that Librem is a failed project.
I realized at about 10 years into my career I would rewrite code as it was easier than learning someone else’s implementation.

Now that I’m cognizant of this I first thoroughly review other implementations to try and understand why decisions were made, ultimately saving me from repeating the same mistakes.

Inconsistent documentation is also a problem.
I like this because these restrictions paint a very realistic picture of the current state of the art of autonomous vehicles. Any claims beyond these are likely just marketing fluff (at this point in time).
I don't have the confidence in my skills to be an architect as I've spent most of my years working on the soft skills and communication skills (which still isn't up to what I'd like).

In an ideal world I'd be able to offer both technical services (dev work) and more guiding services (i.e. your dev process is broken and can be optimized by doing X, Y, and Z).
As a lawyer, I’ve seen litigation I’ve filed result in behavior changes in even larger companies.

All that’s required for evil to flourish . . .
It's doubtful whether that is possible and the family seems (understandably) grief stricken by this. The child is not coming back. Its now the duty of the OP to take care of his partner with needed counselling, may be moving to another place etc. The pain won't go away regardless of the outcome of a lawsuit.

OP, I'm sorry for your loss. Things like this takes everything from us. The only thing we can do is move on and contemplate. In my personal belief, that it is only possible through spirituality. The grief is expected and completely normal. Its a result of your love for your son. The ache will be there throughout your life. I would suggest (if your finances allow), to use the settlement money to do something good for other children on an annual basis (however small it is).
But are $YOU, as one of the tens of thousand $YOU companies going to be spear headed in a dedicated, not automated way? Maybe, but I would say there is at least one or even two orders of magnitude difference with Okta or other well-known companies.
It is a legal requirement to provide equal access to all features and information for people who use accessibility features. Any non-trivial deviation from this must be declared in an accessibility statement, or the site owner risks legal action and large fines.

100% is not hyperbole, even though ”not exist” is.
I recently watched Magnolia in the Prince Charles Cinema in London. I'd seen it multiple times before, but never in a cinema. The bit with the frogs was incredible, going from peaceful to absolutely deafening. That scene is now my most memorable.
Anything interesting in this leak?
I am no lawyer but there is certainly precedence for companies delivering faulty products and causing damages and injuries.

At some point a judge will decide.
Thank you for sharing that. People often say that they miss the old internet here, and I think this website is a prime example of that. Someone passionate about something sharing their passion.
Not all web pages are owned by public or commercial entities. Those that are were not under legal obligations two years ago, but are now or are in the grace period.
You are assuming the motivations behind these decisions are purely based on safety rather than a philosphical difference in approaches.

From a practical standpoint, liability needs to be all or nothing. You can't have a driver worrying about whether they are going 40mph or 41mph. You can't immedaitely give the driver liability if it starts to drizzle or the sun sets.

Mercedes is taking the approach that they are always responsibile. Other manufacturers are taking the approach that the driver is always responsible. The end result is that the Mercedes system is much more conservative in how it can be used. This says nothing about the quality of their technology in comparison to their competitors. It simply says they are focusing on the easiest problems first while their competitors are taking a more holistic approach trying to design a system that has more broad usability.
> If the car crashes while Drive Pilot is operating, that's Mercedes' problem, not yours.

If my car plows into a tree at 40mph and I get turned to mush that still sounds like a "me problem" to me.
More Actuarial Science but your point still stands.
>>You say that, but do you have any released games

7 AAA titles and counting.

>>Have you personally experienced the toxicity of complaining players who want to be handed every sense of achievement and simultaneously feel like it’s very difficult and exclusive?

Also yes. We have millions of players. I have experienced both the very good and very bad from players - that doesn't mean I'll start telling them how to enjoy our games. As for communities being "multiplayer" - forums for games have existed for decades, and you always had people complaining that yes, their idiotic build doesn't work in your game. But that didn't lead me to developing a position where I think people are stupid for doing something and trying to ovverride their desires.

I just want to add one thing here - you seem to be saying(and please correct me if I'm wrong) that the way to play a game is ultimately up to the creator and no one else.

And well, I agree but only to a certain extent. For a counterexample - creator of Studio Ghibli said many times now that his films are made for children, and he finds it weird that adults watch them. Like, he can have that opinion, it's his work after all - but I think he's very wrong about this. Disregarding his opinion is not lame or weak, because ultimately once his work is out there it's not his role to gatekeep access to it. Similarly, From Software games obviously have a certain style of gameplay attached to them, but if your preffered way is to play with a guide, or by installing a mod that just gives you top stats......great. Enjoy it.

For the last example - one of my favourite games of all time is SOMA - it has a fantastic Sci-Fi story that is well worth exploring, but unfortunately it also happens to be a horror game. I don't enjoy those, not even because they make me uncomfortable, it's just that the horror elements of the game get in the way of enjoying a fantastic story. So I installed a mod(way before it was made official) that made the monster docile - that allowed me to complete the game and enjoy myself. Is this wrong or lame? Maybe - but the point is, you as a player shouldn't care what others think.
Front-end developer interviews are pretty hard, because you have to master the same algo puzzles back-enders do, but you're also expected to answer pop trivia for random JavaScript/browser quirks.
I would go back to the work so that I am never in a position to even consider their settlement... and spend some effort in fixing the core issues that prevents such accidents in the future by bringing it out to the public... maybe also work for companies that are in the business of fixing those issues... not with anger or hatred which can lead to non-solutions which may do even bigger harm but with compassion. Is it possible for you to work for that company so that you can try to fix it from the inside?

Ideally, I would do that, given that I could get over the grief and somehow become enlightened... but then it is easy to imagine being enlightened when it comes to problems one is not facing themself.

In reality, however, I would live a miserable depressed life stuck in past trauma waiting for inevitable end of my suffering, like I do with the problems I personally have in my life.

I have come to learn that Vipassana meditation, Peter A. Levine's trauma therapy work, Ayuaschia and a whole lot of spiritual and other practices and therapies are supposed to help one get out of the rut and move on... but I have yet to find anything or have access, or have ability or will to find anything that has worked for me.
Microsoft has been a supporter of open source lately anyway.
Heavy automation (unit, integration and E2E) + testing by QA for unbiased testing as a user, but still testing at a story level. Product manager tests a finished functionality. CEO tests the finished product.
As a parent I live each day with a nearly paralyzing fear informed by the tragedies that have landed on others. It's heartbreaking to think of what you must be feeling, the sort of feeling I've only imagined in nightmares.

In your position I'd fight, driven by what change I could effect over what I could receive. I'd work to keep my voice (no NDA) and shine as much light as I could on the carelessness and callousness of the company's negligence.

But, more importantly, I'd look for support, of an attorney, of friends, of therapists. Hold your wife's hand and feel your grief, and help her with hers.

I'm in SF. If you ever want to talk about this or nothing at all, DM me. Coffee is on me.
Okta's CEO just released a statement. And it's very tiny. Unsure what to make of this. Waiting to see LAPSUS$ response

> In late January 2022, Okta detected an attempt to compromise the account of a third party customer support engineer working for one of our subprocessors. The matter was investigated and contained by the subprocessor. (1 of 2)

> We believe the screenshots shared online are connected to this January event. Based on our investigation to date, there is no evidence of ongoing malicious activity beyond the activity detected in January. (2 of 2)

I think there's a fair amount of correlation here, rather than random events. CISA has been warning everyone to gird for attack for months now.
Natural gas is not renewable though. Unless you live on a billion year timescale.
Sounds like a great prof. Mastering the basics cannot be overstated, if you ask me. Everything else can build upon those basics, worst case it can just be looked up when needed.
Next step up is probably a VU13P based board, there were a few on EBay a year ago ~$5k, almost bought one, but then bitcoin went up again ..... I'm hoping for a crypto crash ....
Your comment is hard but I have to agree.

I care a lot about privacy and freedom but this phone sounds like a Beta version of something from over 10 years ago.

Sad, because I really like to have such a smartphone. But not at the cost of being frustrated all the time.
+1 to every bit of this. The “paralyzing fears” part is so spot on.
I might have written that poorly.

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.

It's a different approach if you ask me.
the money received from settlement is taxable from IRS. and the money def doesn't bring your kid back. but according to law there are legal limits on how much you can claim. it might be easy to earn for you on 4 years but for a poor person that might be a 10 year effort to earn, so don't count in your years. also def consult an attorney regarding this, he can explain the legal ramifications of it and if you feel it is right go ahead with settlement, also keep in mind that all lawers are friends so they know which lawyer is representing the other party and their capabilities (personal experience) based on that they can predict the result of your case, even the judge and the jury greatly affect the case. dont think it is their mistake means that you will win, there is a possibility that if they drag you to court they can end up paying less, it happens and it saves them a lot of legal fees. that is the reason some companies like to settle, again ask you lawer. But loss is a loss. try to accept the fact and plan, do meditation and plan your life around this loss.
It's an homage. It's easier to argue the "rip-off" case when the movie being stenciled is commercially successful, like when 2 Days in the Valley tried to ride the success of Pulp Fiction. Filmmakers are film nerds and they reference other works constantly, given the freedom (I'm watching Euphoria on HBO and suddenly there's a tracking shot lifted from the 1927 silent film Wings?). I like identifying these homages and connecting the linage of the art form. A few years ago I made an algo for it that doubles as a recommendation engine: https://cinetrii.com/
In Russia we say "spherical horse" instead of "spherical cow". I suppose that's because the russian translation of "horse" ("конь") sounds somewhat similar to "cow", and the translated phrase has the same rhythm as the original one. With "cow" ("корова") the translated phrase turns out to be a little tongue-twistey.
Those minor or spurious issues may well disable a disabled person even more.

That said, the entire accessibility scene is fundamentally broken on the technical side and full of snake oil salesmen on the business side.

Anxiously waiting for WCAG to finish an actual standard, and for vendors to actually implement it.

Deadly crashes are not uncommon on half that speed, and risk does not grow linearly.
Layout is the structure of the page, grids, master breakpoints etc.
eg. .grid .row .column .banner

Styling is setting colors/fonts/padding etc on a specific component.

eg. .sign-up-form .delete-button .accept-button
Disclaimer: Anecdata.

I volunteer tutor high school kids in my local community. Particularly math and history. The biggest differentiator between the students who scale up quickly and those who scale up a bit more slowly is their aptitude for memorization.

Recent history curricula and pedagogy in HS has placed an emphasis on “analysis” and “critical thinking.” But the students who struggle all struggle for the same reason: they cannot remember at the moment of writing their paper the basic facts that give context or even give meaning to the documents they are to analyze. I can teach a kid how to do the ACT of analysis to a great level of competency but their papers will be filled with bad analysis and illogical conclusions because they do not know what they read. So, much to their protests, I train them to memorize. And that is often the last push they need to not only get good grades, but realize the joy of critical thinking itself. For now they are not wasting brain cycles trying to conjure up the facts.

Good memorization skills are a huge leverage and it is something that can be learned and practiced. It is a shame that schools are letting children let their mental muscles atrophy like this.
Matt Levine is generally great, the nickel coverage was great but if you read those posts you'll also see the sections where he keeps writing about how Russia will default on its debts. Then when the opposite happened he didn't even comment on the conclusion of that previously important topic let alone admit there must've been faults with his analysis.

Big portions of his readers might not even learn he was wrong and this kind of blatant sweeping of wrong conclusions under the rug makes authors look much more accurate than they are.

If anything, it is liberating that this can (potentially) be achieved using editing instead of partner selection and stimulating child birth among "desirable" couples. Using editing, such things should be within reach for everyone. What's not to love?
Still, driving with 60 kmh into an obstacle can result in serious injuries, despite airbags.

I hope/think they considered a pointy metal, like it sometimes is on back of trailors in front of you, stabbing through the windshield for example?
I am a father of two wonderful kids. What i would do? I have no clue at all. I can only hope i will be able to have some shred of sanity left to know i need good independent professional help. Companies are soulless unemotional things. Do not post any details here. The company will use anything and everything to make sure they have to pay as little as possible.

I have been fighting an insurance company for many many years now. They do not care about anything at all.
This is an important step. For the first time there is full self driving where the driver is no longer require to pay attention to what the car is doing. However, this is not a generic solution. This system is limited to a very narrow set of conditions. Specifically, to premapped highways with a divider between directions, no crossings, just on- and off ramps. On top of that, at very low speed, so in normal traffic you unfortunately cannot use it either.

So how does this compare to Teslas FSD (not Autopilot, which really is only an assistant)? The answer is: not much at all. The Mercedes system has limited the conditions to a point, where it basically just has to do collision avoidance with traffic with predictable behavior. It is limited to selected roads. You don't need much "AI" here and for this task, LIDAR excels in the specified weather conditions.

The Tesla FSD system on the other side aims to be a generic driving AI. It has no limitations about on which roads it operates, it uses maps only for navigation to the destination. But the driving operation is done solely by the evaluation of camera footage. Which already works in many more environmental conditions than the Mercedes system.

These systems approach the goal from entirely two directions. The Tesla system aims to be a complete solution, but certainly is not able to do that unobserved in the current state. It is doing reasonably well at that, but the literally billion dollar question is, can it ever get so reliable, that the driver can completely hand over to car ever? On the other side Mercedes has full autonomy, but they achieved that in a very limited and controlled environment - it remains to be seen how much they can extend that.
