I guarantee you that most of those actually affected by suicide care far more about the passivization of their loved one's final act than a tortured etymological concern.

committed suicide -> died by suicide: even in death we are removing their agency.

Seriously, if a company wants me to spend more than an hour of my time on something for them, they better be including a check as well.

That's ~900 Gal/Day which sounds pretty high for 1 or 2 households but I suppose if they are large and have large lawns or something it could be reasonable. I would naively think it is closer to 5 to 10 households.

Yes, the former. For instance, the Expanded Child Tax Credit, is extended for 1 year at a estimated cost of $190M if this were expanded to the 10 years the bill is supposed to be payed for, it would be larger than the entire bill is supposed to be.

The programs for spending the money are slated to last as little as a single year, while the taxes to balance the spending are expected to do so over 10 years. It absolutely is inflationary, particularly if any of these shorter than 10 year programs get extended without new taxes to pay for them.

No you misread my refutation, I make no claims of the errorness or exceptionness of dividing by 0, merely that your proposed example doesn't support your claim that it depends on the nature of the application. I claim that unchecked user input falls into the category of 'error' and that clearly is what has occurred in your proposed example.

I disagree with your case, this is clearly an error because it should never get to dividing by 0.

You MUST validate user input and user input validation failures are a class of errors not exceptions.

For example look at java (which uses the opposite terminology but exact same concept). Checked exceptions are expected state that should be handled gracefully, unchecked exceptions and errors are unexpected and the handling of them is generally let someone know what happened and exit quickly.

This feels like slide ware to me, and I know Tesla has achieved its goals in the past, but color me at least a little skeptical.

As far as I can tell this is mostly the EFF being sore losers over the DRM issue. They only joined W3C so they could oppose it, now they are leaving since they failed. While I'm neither here nor there on the DRM issue, the EFF leaving isn't exactly the big deal they are making it out to be.

The only issue with that is there are a few groups that have consistently beat the market over time, so perhaps its more pseudorandom than we think. One example might be the Renaissance Medallion Fund.

The bar in civil cases is preponderance of the evidence, of which Google has plenty and Uber / Levandowski have shown very little. It seems beyond sufficient at this point anyway.

Not nearly so much as customer happiness does.
