Liability. Someone slips and falls, someone is (sexually) assaulted in the dorm, etc... It would probably be exceptionally helpful for a lot of YC founders I imagine, but in additi…

> nothing wrong with challenging the law if you think its unjust. That’s a straw man...the CEO fired people who didn’t break the law at his direction. He didn’t give a damn if the …

We can get access to the DVR system easy enough. I suppose your recommendation is identify the drives (as in hard drives?) as opposed to the DVR make/model itself? And then look fo…

Thought I might ask HN...in short some serious crimes happened to me at a gas station (abduction/kidnapping), I did everything I could to preserve the video, but as you might expec…

“ All new Tesla cars come standard with advanced hardware capable of providing Autopilot features today, and full self-driving capabilities in the future...” https://www.tesla.com/…

Well when Tesla gets sued and settles, they will never have to admit liability, so we will never know. And it’s not about musk breaking the law...it’s about him telling his employe…

I didn’t know property bleeds. And either way I’m not advocating rioting/looting and certainly not arson, just saying maybe it will happen and it would be ironic if Musk’s “not a f…

Maybe the protestors that riot and loot will burn Tesla down using Musk’s “not a flame thrower” the ultimate of ironies.

Debatable when the CEO publicly makes a statement to that effect that you “detrimentally relied on”. Not to mention the CEO was actually breaking the law by reopening, in practice …

> I suspect it's not entirely a mistake. Like Tesla calling their driving assistance “auto-pilot”.

I like your optimism and I hope true change happens For the better, I’m more than a little jaded and in my experience things only get worse. Take “Poletown” where GM got the govern…

Not sure if i’m picking up what you’re putting down. I’m guessing maybe you register mymark.com, I get the Whois record and it’s not your legit business info but some made up busin…

I recall stories of counterfeit child car seats that failed safety standards (don’t think there was a lawsuit) just “undercover purchases” and actual safety testing of the fakes. A…

FWIW I think your comment was in good faith and at minimum intellectually curious. I asked my colleague similar questions when hearing about the case.

It’s a jurisdictional question so it really depends (I couldn’t tell you in this case, I didn’t work on it personally). In my opinion it’s even more odd they defended (in at least …

Here is one (plus the story of a defective product lawsuit behind it). A water slide. The type that bolts down into concrete for use with pools. If the first thing in your mind is.…
