This is 10 year old story. It’s very interesting which ones stay in the public consciousness.

You’re missing context. We are discussing their 5+ other lawsuits.

Only for the larp value. What attributes make it more dangerous?

AR-15 is merely a body style, there is no metric by which it is more dangerous than a hunting rifle.

> what else would you propose?

Not suing others for millions or billions and spreading misery. Nothing can bring those kids back.

Maybe the government could have offered education and employment guarantees to the families?

> only country

Want to list some other things only the US has?

Sounds like a principled take based on rule of law.

Wikipedia page disagrees with you. Whether they collected that amount, I do not know.

No. I actually don’t think lashing out at any wallet that happens to be in the area will make anyone happy.

The people who are responsible are dead.

> people/orgs that enabled the tragedy

They didn’t though. Holding a rifle manufacturer liable for a shooting makes no sense, unless applied universally.

A journalist writing a book did not cause the shooting.

This is greed and lashing out in pain. I’m sure members of the community have ruined their life in pursuit of these things.

Desktop OS may struggle at thousands of thread. Linux can handle many more just fine.

> Your program needs one million threads that sleep for 2 seconds, read some data and then finish.

I have yet to see this problem, but yeah I agree that millions is about when there will be problems.

Don’t forget their many other successful lawsuits:

- school administration

- rifle manufacturer

- the shooters mother (home insurance)

- other journalists who wrote about the event

I don’t know exactly what compensation they should get, but this does not seem like a healthy or sustainable way for our society to deal with tragedy.

I have yet to hear what meaning tolerance has in this interpretation.

Surely chairman mao agrees with free speech that doesn’t harm his society and social programs

I agree. The right thing to do is to wait for the task to finish. I wrote that first line in jest,

I’m making fun of the notion that blocking = slow = unresponsive.

> you run out of (OS) threads very fast.

What does run out mean?
