The jury basically did exactly that. They weren’t buying Tesla’s multi-year denial that they had the data as an “oopsy doopsy” story.

They found Tesla liable for $235 million. It’s the first case Tesla hasent been able to settle, and that’s a big ol’ number. They are going to have more lawsuits coming.

Sure. How?

Seems deceptively simple, but organizing people, especially people of incredibly divergent experiences and histories that may literally only share the traits of “is human” and “can code to varying degrees” is the complex part.

Saying “just do it right” is akin to saying “we dont need test or qa. Just code without bugs.”

People are easily as messy as code itself, if not worse. We need some kind of organizing principles to work together, and thats what codes of conduct are.

IT projects almost always have several different “correct” answers, which is why they generally lead to debate or discussion. That’s where a code of conduct is needed.

Discussion between “shut up and code” people and everyone else doesn’t tend to be a positive place to work without some boundaries. If you want people to volunteer for projects, you need to treat them with a baseline respect, and that baseline needs to be agreed on.

He has not. The whitehouse said she was fired, but that’s not what the law says. The president has to directly fire her, himself.

They did assign an interim director, but he still hasent directly fired her, so shes still the director.

Their e-meters are relatively basic. They just slap $200 of components in a box and charge $5000 for them

Nah, this is feeding the MAGA base. They have been ginning up conspiracies about her death since it happened, pushed by fox news/Tucker Carlson. They needed to find an excuse for one of their zealots being rightfully killed that day, in order to downplay the whole insurrection.

Her mom has kept the conspiracies alive, and conniving politicians have gone along with it because the media engine gives them a boost with the fanatics

This is just the latest example. MAGA can now go “see! She didn’t deserve to be shot! even though the air force says so!”

They are just lying about the no warning. She was warned specially to stop by the cops. Even her fellow terrorists were shouting that there was a gun.

Did the feds charge the other people caught in the same sting? I’m not seeing any articles about the fed vs state charges.

China spending 1/20 of what the US does to subsidize cars isn’t relevant? Sure thing buddy.

The whole point of all of these “china is only dominating in EV sales due to subsidies” comments is to throw shade on China’s impressive progress in clean tech. A contrast of their subsidies vs other countries in the same space, motor vehicles, is entirely relevant.

You should learn about US fossil fuel subsidies. The US alone pumps almost 800 billion/yr into subsidising the industry. Total subsidies worldwide are around 7 trillion/yr.

China tossing 40 Billion/yr into EV/battery subsidies is basically pocket change.

They haven’t refused to charge him. He has a hearing scheduled on September 3rd.

It wasn’t even ambiguous. It was blatant. A clear cut case of a racist acting out.
