  • Really? Police in US doesn't actively investigate crimes any more? I remember from The Wire that they used observe places where they knew crime is likely to happen. Crazy that they stopped.

  • How long would it take for the police to get involved and protect the site for free? Or do you think they would just ignore it? Does the law in USA say that if the victim of the crime is a company they have to hire private security and police is not involved?

  • If the manufacturer is building cars according to the specs defined by the law how can he be sued? Also, what do you care if the manufacturer will be sued?

  • Do you actually know how often it occurs? Of course not. There's no way to tell because the people that decide it's "erratic race to hospital time" are not doctors so they have no idea if they are saving lives or just putting more people in danger.

    Also, your old adage makes no sense here. Erratic driving is not something that you have stored in your basement and can take out and use in case of emergency. It's something people do all the time for no reason and it kill thousands of people every year. You're talking about it like racing to a hospital with a dying person was the main reason why people drive like crazy. It's not. It's insignificant % of all the erratic driving cases.

    Again, I'm sure there are good reasons to oppose automatic driving patterns detection. This is not one of them.

  • That makes sense. I actually don't know what the law says about smoke breaks. I know I can have 5 minute brake every hour and one 15 minute break per day on top of lunch break. Of course my workplace is not that strict but that's what the law says. I don't know if smokers get more according to the law or they're supposed to use the 5 minute breaks.

  • My car just tracks the energy use over the last X kilometers and adapts the range accordingly. Of course it doesn't know if the next X kilometers will be all uphill or downhill so it's till just an estimate but it's definitely not exaggerating in a problematic way.

  • On the other hand I can think of many more cases when someone was killed by erratic driver. It kind of sounds like you're ignoring something occurring every day and focusing on fantasy scenario. It's obvious that eliminating even 1% of accidents caused by erratic drivers would save more lives than people racing to hospitals do.

    I'm not saying that shutting off cars based on some AI analyzing your driving patterns is a good idea but you really need to think about another argument than "this one guy would probably die this one time".

    Also, that's what ambulances are for. Fixing the ambulance service would be a better idea than hoping people will manage to race to hospitals without killing anyone.

  • Actually most conditions that are as debilitating as pregnancy would qualify you for sick leave or (if prolongled) disability. At least where I live. I understand sick leave is another issue in USA but denying care to pregnant women doesn't really solve anything here. In this case they are pretty much saying that even though pregnancy is not a sickness it shout still get people some limited protection.

  • In my experience it's pretty bad. Buggy, poor support (as in responding to bug reports), hard to test, very verbose components library. Not a great experience over all. I would try react native for my next project but looks like Tauri will be getting Android support soon so I will try this first.

  • I still don't understand why PDAs are no longer a thing. Make a phone a bit thicker, add ports, thumb keyboard... I remember being able to SSH to servers from my Zaurus and actually do things using the hardware keyboard. Or SSH to my n900 and install packages there. With android I just lost the interest. It doesn't feel like a personal computer anymore.

  • Yep, corporations denied us this feature long enough that most of us gave up and stopped trying. Sometimes I wish I was just another mindless consumer loving everything that's new and shiny instead of liking actually useful things...

  • In Spain, which is way way more progressive than US, women get unlimited paid leave during pregnancy (as in you can go to as many medical appointments as you want, there's no cap) and normal appointments are still not covered. My guess is that covering all of the appointments would mean quite a big hit for the economy while the amount of times a woman will get pregnant is very limited and will not cause such issues.

    Also, if you need to get out to breath the air quality at your workplace doesn't meet the legal requirements and should be fixed.

  • I never wanted kids but if I could get 40 hours off for having one I would have like 10. /s

    Seriously, it's just 40 hours that most women will use once or twice in their lives and they get it for doing something exhausting, very painful and pretty dangerous. On top of that as society you actually need at least some women to do it. Are people really jealous about 40 hours of leave sprinkled on top of the shit experience that pregnancy is? That's some new levels of egoism...
