That’s not the right reading of the convention. The rule is against unnecessary suffering and even excessive lethality. For example hollow point rounds are more effective at killing but solid rounds have the same disabling effect and give the recipient a chance of survival. Hollow point bullets are banned by the convention.

Its also illegal to use excessive calibre bullets against human targets. Even though such large projectiles are much more likely to kill.

The exact phrasing is:

“It is prohibited to employ weapons, projectiles and material and methods of warfare of a nature to cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering.”

2007 was In the shadow of the post 2000 crash. People were still debating with me if going in to Computer Science even made sense (aren’t they sending all those jobs to India?). The financial crisis would happen just a few months later and take almost 10 years to recover.

There’s a bias when looking at the past. We tend to assume the future was both inevitable and easily predictable. Not like these uncertain times today.

Now pre-2000s was a little different. VCs were taking to me on the phone about my “robotics” company. I was 10.

Fixed is much too strong a word. Mitigated is more descriptive. From your link:

This fix is widely seen as a stopgap measure, as it only makes the attack up to 65,536 times harder. An attacker willing to send billions of packets can still corrupt names.

He is in the style of Larry King, who famously doesn't do research so he can put himself in the shoes of the audience and ask questions that would be on their mind. It's a valid technique and works well with a laymen audience. What you are describing is a totally different type of show that goes more in depth on fewer subjects.

Because the FTC only needs to look at it once for them to give you a big fine or put you out of business. They take time but they do get around to these things. I was watching an old taped documentary on YouTube, and when I looked up the products in the commercials a good number of them were taken down by the FTC.

Rail is also used as part of the evacuation, but most people will want their car so they can carry enough supplies to last for the evacuation period. In fact one of the most egregious aspects of the Katrina disaster was New Orleans explicitly told Amtrak their trains were unnecessary [1].

"We offered the city the opportunity to take evacuees out of harm's way," said Amtrak spokesman Cliff Black. "The city declined."

They don't completely solve the problem, but it would be much harder to evacuate the cities without the highway system in place.

You don't vote for the prime minister. You vote for the party representative in your area.

The MPP in my riding gave that line when she came by. We got Ford, and this particular MPP is the least responsive in the entire provincial parliament. Whatever sympathy I had for that line of reasoning is now lost, the fact is your MP or MPP has very little individual power. Much less than a representative has in the USA.

I'm almost certain "expense of human lives" didn't come up as a factor on any of the merger pitch decks. Frankly its a huge leap to see that a merger of two successful and relatively safe aircraft manufacturers would be intentionally at the expense of human lives.

Reliability (ETOPS regulations), as well as the fact long hauls are usually fewer larger flights meaning they use larger aircraft.

If you look at the actual trademarks you will see that there is no registration for Operating Systems. Trademarks are only for specific goods and services, you can't globally prevent use of a word.

Regulators should not pressure a companies unrelated business lines to effect change elsewhere. If the company is doing something illegal then target that specific activity.

You don't see a problem with them threatening even their non-Libra business lines with "additional scrutiny"? The letter directly threatens malicious investigation.

How many KM remaining depends on the terrain, traffic, driving technique, weather and a host of other factors. Nobody is expecting 100% accuracy just a rough estimate. They are already mentally doing the conversion anyways.

Teslas do this, they show battery charge in terms of miles or kilometers which is obviously not the correct unit. It's more abstract and often wrong but closer to what the person wants to know.

Oddly enough the iPhone doesn't do this, it will happily tell you how many GB you have left when what the user really wants to know is "How many more songs or photos can I store?".

Sex and especially violence is common fare in entertainment now. The real "edginess" is in the landscape of ideas, and the range of acceptability has been increasingly narrowed over time.

They later quashed it, so she got it cleared up eventually. But I imagine this would have been resolved much quicker if she just showed up in the first place.

Next, she heard that her court case had happened and she'd been found guilty.

If she missed her court date then I don't know what she expected... You will lose by default if you don't go.

I imagine they weren't trying all that hard.

For Lyft having a taxi anywhere I want one with low wait times at low cost is going to secure their success. Not new features in their app, not even latency to the data center.

There's no reason they need to be spending such crazy amounts on servers - ostensibly to allow faster iteration. A new version of their app just isn't going to move the needle. Signing up new drivers will though.

I fail to see how the benefits AWS provides are so important they need to spend such crazy amounts.

Man this industry is crazy. Most traditional companies fight hard to gain even 1% in net margin.

I like the sentiment, but companies formed for any reason other than solving a customer problem and earning money tend to do poorly.

Serious question: Is it really worth the trade off? My biggest fear is to start needing prescription drugs for anything.

If you had pushed it just a little bit farther to 11am you would have been commuting in the daytime lull and had the same benefits.

To be fair, a little effort in aesthetics goes a long way.

A lot of times when you colo you can get staff there to take care of those sorts of tasks. Their cost breakdown includes using this service.

You can touch type the F-keys too?

What really was different was conquering territory and then giving it back to the governments in exile.

Contrast this with the other players in the war who kept territory they acquired. Even the soviets who were on our side.

Most people wanting a price in writing are doing so as a negotiating lever with another dealer.

Of course degree matters. Healthy and Unhealthy are not binary categories.

Both alcohol and meth are harmful to health, but the degree makes one manageable and the other not.
