> But as long as someone, anyone, involved in the accident can be condemned as sinful (in many cases the sin of being tired from overworking forced on them by societal pressures), it can be explained away.

And indeed if we look at railway safety this is exactly what we saw. Originally, railway companies would say well, yes two passenger trains collided, killing a hundred people, but conveniently for us both drivers died in the collision so we'll blame them. The problem wasn't us, the railway company, who are great, it's those awful drivers, who fortunately are now dead so no need to investigate further. In fact, since there's no body to examine we can confidently declare that one of the drivers was drunk. Which explains why we've told his widow that she won't be receiving one penny from the death-in-service fund.

Eventually (this kept happening, because of course it did) coroners weren't talking this bullshit, and they said it seems like the problem isn't these lone drivers who are conveniently dead, it's the company hiring them. If the drivers aren't good enough, the company should get better drivers. If instead the problem is elsewhere (e.g. maybe it'd be a good idea to invent signals so that you know if a train just around the corner has broken down so that your express doesn't hurtle into it at full speed...) that's something for the railway company too. This didn't magically fix things overnight, but it did push back against the useless "blame the driver" narrative.

Modern safety agencies, focused on a blameless "Learn from the past, prevent future accidents" model have improved things considerably, but that did not happen automatically, somebody had to call the corporate entities on their bullshit. Maybe we should call individual private car owners on their bullshit too.

One trend I don't like is people who resist the word "accident". It's an accident unless you think it was done on purpose. Accident prevention is a thing. We can, and should, prevent accidents.
They are not at the same time. There are entire days of interval!
> make sure to share the critical feedback with us too. it really helps to improve the product

Will do.
It's not a fair comparison, because world population in 1940 was just 2.3 billion. So, in relative terms, WW2 killed almost four times as many people per year as cancer does.

Not to mention that the goal of WW2 spending wasn't to improve some abstract death prevention statistics, it was actually to prevent madmen from taking over the whole world and turning it into totalitarian hell.
agreed, but: in the ruling, the judge cites a separate law that encourages US courts to cooperate with foreign courts for the purposes of information finding:

>Glassdoor is headquartered in this district, and under 28 U.S.C. § 1782(a), a district court can order persons within the district to produce discovery "for use in a proceeding in a foreign or international tribunal."
>Given Glassdoor's focus on the merits of Zuru's defamation claim, first this must be noted: § 1782(a), the governing statute, doesn't require the Court to evaluate the merits of Zuru's claim before ordering Glassdoor to produce discovery in furtherance of it.
>Congress enacted § 1782(a) "to provide federal-court assistance in gathering evidence for use in foreign tribunals." Intel Corp. v. Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 542 U.S. 241, 247 (2004). The statute is generous and reflects a hope that if federal courts assist with foreign litigation, foreign courts will do the same when the tables are turned. See ZF Auto. US, Inc. v. Luxshare, Ltd., 142 S. Ct. 2078, 2088 (2022) ("[T]he animating purpose of § 1782 is comity: Permitting federal courts to assist foreign and international governmental bodies promotes respect for foreign governments and encourages reciprocal assistance.").
No even on that scale it is a lot of harm when you consider it as it actually is. As the person you're responding to notes, a preventable death touches many more than just the individual killed.

You can argue that this cost is worth bearing, but you can't dismiss it as "just" .01% or whatever. Over a period of years this is almost every family touched by unnecessary death: people growing up without a parent, careers ended because of disability, spiraling into depression or addiction because of losing a child, all the second and third order effects of grief and loss and suffering.

Again, maybe it's worth it. Make a point for why it is though, if you find it to be. Pointing at the numbers isn't enough.
The same pattern plays out all over the place. Diffuse deaths are just background noise to life where singular events breakthrough. Happens all the time with gun/heart attack/car/pollution/etc. deaths. The last 2 years of COVID proved that to me pretty definitively.
It's way way higher than 1%. 30% of crashes involve a drunk driver. 30% of the drivers on the road are not drunk.
With permissions, before Google started to copy Apple's system, there was no such thing as an Android user being able to deny an app permission to do something. Either you gave the app permission to do everything it wanted, or you couldn't install the app at all.

Isn't the next version of Android the first time users will be allowed to deny an app permission to send notifications? That's been in iOS from the start and has always provided a way to silence apps that spam notifications.
(Un)friendly reminder that it's tautologically impossible for the general public to be bad at a subjective task like risk assessment or a subjectively assessed task such as driving because the general public is what sets the baseline for the subjective assessment.
Erofs vs. SquashFS: A Gentle Benchmark
What's required are actually very significant structural changes. Veterans suicides are the result of war, which is mass killing normalized by false mythology. And it not enough to just say that's a bad idea, the problem is deeply rooted in the core global paradigm which is fundamentally uncivilized. You can't just say that hegemony is bad, you need an alternative, which is a very difficult task.

The problem with traffic deaths is again, structural. You are mixing 3000 pound vehicles, most of which contain only one passenger, with pedestrians in the same space. You have humans driving them.

The solution is small autonomous vehicles completely separated from pedestrians. This is very hard, but possible, and the materials wasted on oversized vehicles that are underutilized, office buildings that are mostly empty, incredibly poor density, etc. can also be used for that purpose.

Cities should actually be entirely redesigned.
>And then after a few instances, I just turn off all the automation and set up a schedule like normal.

If you have a fairly regular life I would think a schedule would outdo ML pretty much all the time, because you know exactly what that schedule should be. ML might be useful for a secret agent whose life is so erratic that a schedule would be useless.

That is to say ML is maybe better than falling back to nothing.
Sorry but that's not how it works. $500k/year would mean roughly $250k base+bonus and $1 million of stocks vested over four years. And at most companies, the vesting starts after 1 year. So at the end of year one, you would have made $500k in base+bonus+stocks. And after that you would usually get the stocks every quarter so $62.5k worth of stocks every quarter. I am not sure where is your figure of 200-250k Total Comp coming from?
Yes, it has certainly been disappointing to learn, over the years, just how little there is left we could even attempt to preserve. Of course none of it matters anymore as it will all be damaged by climate change.
Because I do a lot of the maintenance on my own vehicles, I have many acquaintances who ask me car advice, and I always tell people to buy the best tires they can afford, as it's those 4 tires and wheels that are all that's holding your car to the ground. I have recently moved cross-country, but the previous city I lived in it was incredibly commonplace to see vehicles on the highway doing 80+ MPH with horribly visibly bald tires, or in some cases people rolling on 4 spares (which are only certified to 55MPH).

The average driver in the US has a very flippant attitude towards maintenance and towards tires in particularly. Yet, tires are one of the most important if not most important safety items on your vehicle.

Makes sense, but that still doesn't explain why we ignore tens of thousands of auto deaths per year but talk about one Uber ATG death for 5 years...
Between people are rational and they knowingly took risks and people are irrational and must be protected from themselves, where and how do we draw a line?
I think parent understands your point, but, it's implied that the salaries were high, so your example doesn't fit.

> Our salary offerings are very aggressive to the developer's benefit

Your example covers the case of "mid-range salary", overqualified applicant doesn't want the job, but wasn't going to get hired anyways because overqualified. Parent's example covers "very high salary", underqualified applicant wants the job just because the number is high. Given the "salary offerings are very aggressive", then why would we be talking about a "mid-range salary" case.
really cool!

Cities aren't the only ideal client to make this pitch to either, there are all sorts of art collectives, educators, museums, even commercial interests who would probably benefit to move off of YouTube perhaps simply for the privacy and data collection concerns.
>Largely, this is a problem with society

In the adoption example, I would argue that it is not a product of society, but just very present in society. I don't have data to back this up, but kids seem to be innately cruel about things like a peer being adopted, and I don't think it was programmed into them from society.

hmm, apart from already mentioned statements by other posters; I think inflation as we see it today, is perfectly understandable reason to justify increase in rate, companies increase rates for services all the time, sometimes accompanied only by meaningless jargon

in the end I think it all comes down to who has more leverage:

- can they find someone else for the old rate + risk and cost of hiring someone new

- can you walk away and find another customer for the new rate

Yeah, this is a good point. I don't think I've ever heard anyone express fear when getting on an SF Muni bus or train that they're going to be injured or killed in a crash. The only safety-related complaints are exactly what you said: drug users and people with mental illnesses on the bus, or sketchy characters hanging around transit stops. Years ago, my partner witnessed someone walk right by her, inches away from her, stop a few feet away, and suddenly punch someone in the face, right out of the blue. I would be much more afraid of that kind of thing happening to me than anything else.
"My strategy would work if voters all adopted my values and worldview" isn't a sensible political strategy. It's utopianism. Politics is about putting together a coalition with the voters you have, not daydreaming about what you could do if you had the voters you want.

And the utopianism harms the very minorities you claim to advocate for. My parents, immigrants from Bangladesh, don't vote straight-ticket Democrat because they think you can achieve racial harmony. They do it because they think Obamacare is a good idea. You're not going to convince them that Bangladeshis have common cause with other minorities, or that police are bad, or that same-sex marriage is great, or that anyone should ever "celebrate their abortion." They will go along with those things, but they're voting for a political party to achieve tangible results, not bring about the Rapture.

This is a management problem, not an employee problem. Figuring out if I can be outperformed by someone working less hours than me is irrelevant to my relationship to my employer. I'd go further to say that it's irrelevant barring frequency of the event having an impact on the broader job market. For any team, you will have a range of performance. For any individual, you will have different work styles.

This is normal. This is OK.

Asking an employee make this a consideration when negotiating with an employer is a dereliction of duty on behalf of the hiring manager and difficult for the candidate to judge due to information asymmetry. If you're building a team, you should know what kind of talent fits on it and make an offer on those merits. That's what being a hiring manager entails.

I was a cop for several years. I worked hundreds of crashes, and a few fatalities.

If cars had a max speed limit of 85 mph, and required the seatbelt to be engaged to work, we'd cut our fatality rate in half.

Most nations' DUI laws consider a 0.05 BAC as illegal. In most US states 0.08 is presumed under the influence, 0.06 - 0.079 is considered no presumption either way, and under .06 is considered not under the influence. My alcohol tolerance is fairly average, but after some off the cuff experiments with whiskey and a preliminary breathalyzer, I shouldn't drive at a .055. My wife shouldn't drive at a .03

Something like 80% of fatal crashes involve either alcohol, no seatbelt, or excessive speed, but not wearing a seatbelt is like a 50 dollar ticket, and a secondary offense, in many jurisdictions.

If there is an innate cruelty in our children that we allow to fester and allow them to apply in our society, rather than teaching them against it, then that is absolutely a product and failing of it.

We are pretty advanced, we can do more than throw our hands up in the air and say "that's how it is" when faced with problems. If we choose not to, it is exactly that: a choice.
Yes, "the world is better" should ideally include the impacts of today's decisions, not just today's direct response to previous factors.

But the example of childhood death statistics doesn't include any analysis of how today's actions are setting up future childhood safety issues regarding plastics, climate change, overfishing, water shortages, etc.

No city can adequately fund these programs, and San Francisco certainly doesn't build housing for the homeless, have an enlightened drugs policy or have adequate mental health care. San Francisco and other coastal cities mainly differentiate their policies by treating the homeless populations there with malignant neglect instead of outright hostility, which leads to the phenomenon you see where 10-12 cities bear the brunt of a national homelessness crisis. Because San Francisco is one of them, you also see a bunch of entitled tech bros whining about how they have to see a homeless person sometimes on HN.

I will admit that, by American standards, SF has pretty good public transit though.

> the complaints that there are no more grand fundamental discoveries is alike to complaining that we are not discovering any new continents on Earth.

And this is a very real issue, for instance in physics. It means that if you go for research there, it is likely to be meh.

I did my PhD in physics, I was thankfully at a moment where simulations and ML were just starting so I could have fun. There was exactly zero interesting discoveries in nuclear/atomic/particle during my time in academia. And the 40 years before.

Compare this with 1090-1950. These years were simply incredible (especially the ones around 1900, to ~1920). You had almost every day discoveries that were shaking the world, and everyone was aware of that.

This is not the fault of the scientists, this is just that the world is like this. It is indeed like complaining that there are no more continents, but then the reasonable thing to do it to invest more in teaching, or applied science.

I was a technical founder and, as most founders do, I coded a lot in my startup life. I do miss that part but I am also looking at the next phase of my career now.

I am not sure how to transition from being a coder founder executive to Director or VP level executive.
