> I feel like the fix there is that the rules for publishing works of the deceased should be different, e.g. it is immediately in the public domain so that there is no (or at least less) financial incentive since the original author has already decided not to profit from it.

sometimes the plan is for the children/successors to benefit from the works. Some do ask for things to be published after they're gone

as a swahili speaker I'd say that the beauty of swahili is that it's commonplace to butcher these noun classes unless you're from Tanzania. Kenyans, Congolese, Ugandas do it all the time

We use short sessions to protect patient information from unauthorized access in systems that we build. Yes, you shouldn't leave your machine unprotected but real humans do. Sometimes, you may trust someone with access to your computer but they shouldn't necessarily access certain protected systems. Especially in HIPAA-land, short sessions are a really effective way to make systems usable while still limiting how much damage can be done even accidentally.
