The article doesn't say which side of the road he was on.

When I was a kid in scouts, we were taught that if you have to walk on the edge of a highway then it is best to walk on the opposing side of traffic (the left). This way if a vehical is veering off and might hit you, you have some time to react and step off. Rather than them hitting you from behind.

It sounds like the biggest issue here might be that the driver didn't do her due diligence to check what she hit. Maybe if an ambulance had been called sooner then he might have survived.

I have used an agent to try some test projects (this was about a year ago). I found that while the code did work for the most part, the agent overall produced code that was overly complex for what the initial brief asked of it. And that complexity made the code difficult to extend with even simple features.

I don't use one anymore because I figured that, for my job, maintainability is critical and I don't mind that the code takes me overall longer to write if it is well planned out and extendable.

Edit: I still would not use op's code since 1. It's not something I need, and 2. I don't trust it.

The combination of not giving kids independence then complaining how teens and young adults are dependant on their parents is diabolical.

I often look at the independence that kids and teens are given in other countries and wish that I could have been given that sort of a childhood. I seriously think I wouldn't be as socially inept as I am today if I had that.

I don't work directly with PLCs but we do have them at my work. The main thing that makes these different from any other devices is that they typically control physical machines. Which means there is a real danger that them becoming compromised could lead to damaged equipment or even death.

Additionally, many PLCs use older OS versions like xp because their software is notoriously out of date (if it's working why rewrite it when that could introduce safety concerns)

This "urgent" message from CISA does not prove that any of these devices are internet accessible just that if they are then they should be removed. If CISA wanted to require this then they would have released a binding operational directive (BOD) or an emergency directive (ED). Both of which are publicly viewable on their site.

Gay, straight, and lesbian are just convenient labels that we use to classify one type of attraction. Tbh I find it a bit silly that people are concerned about "would that make me gay?"

If you are still attracted to them then who cares. That attraction could be physical or it could be romantic but either way it depends on how you feel about that person.

Yea, I'd honestly rather them invest in heroic launcher.

This whole situation is making me strongly consider bringing a burner phone on my next vacation. That way I can wipe it before going through customs.

Remember when 4chan identified someone just from their eyes, brow, and nose?

The bike lock bandit. He ended up being an ethics teacher at a college and got fired for beating people with a bike lock. We just need that sort of investigation here.

You should definitely get a lawyer well versed in tenant rights. California has some of the most protective tenants rights in the US. From what you are describing I would not be surprised if a judge issues a temporary restraining order against the landlord to stay away from the property until things have been resolved.

If they want to do business in the US then it follows that they would need to follow us law when conducting that business. It is the same reason that valve has to follow California law despite not being headquartered in California.

If that weren't the case then businesses would just move to international waters and claim to only need to follow maritime law.

I would highly recommend actually reading the full text of the bill. It is a lot more than what is in the body of the post.

It is not clear to me whether a site would need to be hosted in the US to fall under this law or if they would just need to be accessible in the US.

I would post the definitions but there are 7 titles under this law and 5 of them each have their own definition.
