That’s not the point. The point is if Teslas marketing led the driver to over estimate the car’s capabilities leading to him engaging in reckless behavior. He admitted on the stand that he was acting careless, that autonomous mode required supervision; however, he also admitted that he thought that the car would drive better than a human and intervene when required _based_ on Tesla’s marketing. When you look at Musk’s tweets and the Paint it Black video the jury agreed that it was not an unreasonable belief that was factually _not_ true and found Tesla 33% guilty of the accident.
The fact that Tesla purposely mislead the investigators and hid evidence was why the jury awarded such a large sum.

Try LanceDB https://github.com/lancedb/lancedb
It’s based off of the data fusion engine, has vector indexing and BM 25 indexing, has pipes on and rust bindings

Steve Jobs was historically against gaming on apple devices and, I believe, went so far as to try to remove them from the Apple Store. Apple is only recently starting to introduce gaming seriously back into the platform.

I really want to like vector, but its lack of basic support for things like Windows logs is painful.

Agreed 1,000%. I recently re-watched the next generation with my wife, since I was a teenager and could not believe what an excellent leader Picard was. I am a Director at a big fork, consulting company, and I found myself using techniques that I saw in the show with my team to great effect.

Re:Amazon boss Jeff Bezos defends company's workplace culture

This "I didn't know this was happening" excuse doesn't cut it. You don't know because you don't look. As long as you are getting the results you want it doesn't matter if you're demanding people to come back the day after a miscarriage. Listen to any interview with Jack Welch and he'll tell you how accountability of work culture comes straight from the top, and how HR reviews are designed not to ask the right questions. As a random example, there's a huge difference between asking "have you been illegally treated in any way" and "have you been immorally treated". Little changes like that make survey results wildly different, and if management wants they can make employee's say a labor shop is a great place to work.

Does it piss anyone else off that he uses the term anecdote?
'I was forced to go back to work the day after my miscarriage' What an anecdote! Just makes me believe that he is a megalomaniac and a bit of a psychopath.
