As long as it's no more than the price of the cheaper legal team this method would work. That way poorer people who have been wronged are not heavily deterred from filing suit.

I would very much like them to revert this change. Using backspace to go back has been in my browsing habits since I began using the internet. Atl+left or right is annoying. Either give us a checkbox or revert it. Please. Pretty please.

Wow, I honestly never read that. +1 for the link, I love old stuff like this.

I'd agree with this. My last couple of projects did have a couple of hacks that bordered on spaghetti code until they were sufficiently cleaned up.

Here's a priority list that you should typically follow for making anything.

1. Make it work.

2. Make it not break.

3. Make it fast.

That's it really. Until the performance of something is blocking what you need to do somewhere else leave it the hell alone.

They can but it's going to take a good long while before they have the same kind of access to their physical environment to experiment like humans can. Just think about the steps between figuring out that bean water can be used in meringues for instance; not just the mental ones, but the physical ones as well.

This is a people to people problem. The _only_ reason it would seem somewhat technologically/hackernews related is because it's a web service that it's happening through. Even then that's a low bar to clear in present times.

How can you think it's pertinent?

So it cuts the genomes out, does it keep the cells alive while doing so? I heard that CRISPR/Cas9 doesn't rejoin the dna it cuts. I'm new to this and would love to know from someone more knowledgeable about this.

Serious question: How do you keep your stuff from getting replicated, tweaked and crushed by people with possibly better tooling and more machines than you? China comes to mind tbh.

That helps but you have to understand that most industrial and utilities sites hate new tech. They like proven tech that's been used in three other places before they adopt anything. And once they settle on something they want to stick with it for 15-30 years and have support for longer because everyone knows that it's going to take another 3 years to get approval for purchase of new components because the old stuff has been giving faulty readings the past year and a half which requires hard reboots, the firmware is no longer being upgraded and the guys who first used the stuff are starting to retire. Even then they just want something that fits into the same slot.

Sorry for the runon but this is a major gripe of mine. Most managers just want it to work and unless it doubles your profit, cuts failures and makes you coffee for when other stuff breaks and you're working overtime to fix it they don't want to change anything.

Being in that kind of environment is stressful. If you can't trust the person above you to have your back you're going it alone. I hate working in places you have to feel unreasonably guarded.
