Your post is a lot less fun than a global conspiracy between governments and companies to keep fat cats rich and workers poor or some such cliche’d nonsense. I’d also add that it’s harder for traditional managers to measure the performance of their people unless they’re in something like sales or piecework where there are objective and visible metrics. And all the talk and hype around quiet quitting (which may not exist or have changed) doesn’t help.

Reply to Will full self driving be lingering around in beta for a decade or two? by RolfEjerskov

I suspect this is more of a people thing than a technical challenge. Every time there’s a accident involving an autonomous vehicle, it makes the news and people w too much time in their hands (like me) will pile on. So, does the tech need to be ten times safer, a hundred times, a thousand times than the traditional way, who knows.

At least the issue hasn’t yet become political yet, which is surprising.

Reply to Need a shark divorce attorney near concord/Acton/Worcester by Throwaway51505150-

10 years ago the average price for a divorce was around $100K in legal fees. And the result of spending all that dough was within 5% of the initial proposals. Today, I’m guessing it’s higher; maybe $120K. This is the average and given what you said, your situation is above average, but not in a good way. So, a wild guess is this will cost you and your soon to be ex, $150K to $200K. So, essentially, you’ll get to pay for a good chunk of the college fees for the kids of your lawyers… and get almost nuthin out of it.

If you both can easily afford this without financially impacting the kids, find your shark and knock yourselves out. However (and I know this is easy for me to say), if this has a significant impact, is there any chance you can sit with your spouse, show him or her the numbers and what they’ll mean to your lifestyles and those of your kids, and try mediation.

With mediation, the costs are dramatically lower; probably under 10K and the mediator is not incented to drag out the fight. Also, I’ve heard they’re skilled in defusing emotions.

And I’m fully aware that some couples are so dug in or one side has become so evil that you have to use sharks. But I know that your odds of avoiding this massive bill and getting thru the divorce with some sanity and more secure kids, increase if you have this conversation before getting the sharks involved. After that, it’s like two freight trains heading for each other and it’s hard to change course.

Reply to comment by CupResponsible797 in Zero Days (2016) - Stuxnet, a piece of self-replicating computer malware that the U.S. and Israel unleashed to destroy a key part of an Iranian nuclear facility, and which ultimately spread beyond its intended target. [01:53:51] by Missing_Trillions

I believe that others used one or more of the zero days in subsequent malware; Flame was one. I don’t think it’s been proven Flame wouldn’t exist without Stuxnet, but it’s likely.
