  • Because it is a legal question, not a technological one.
    Now, I don’t know if the for example US traffic law has a tickbox somewhere a manufacturer can go and mark that they will take full responsibility in case of any accident and it will never be the result or liability of the owner/“driver” of the car, but until it does exist there is only supervised self driving, no matter how well or poorly it actually functions or what it does.

    Even the current robotaxi endeavours are just one major fatal accident away from grinding to a halt when the courts start figuring out who in the chain from insurer to owner to manufacturer and every worker and designer who has even remotely touched the project is actually responsible for that death.








  • Interestingly, they still followed the law that requires you to show the lowest price in 30 days which was the same as the sale price. Their argument is that the law doesn’t say that they can’t base the discount on some other, higher price.

    Which does kinda have a point - if you had to base it on that price, if you have e.g a summer sale that lasts two months, after 30 days that sale price is now the lowest price and the sale would “disappear”, even if for the other 10 months you’d be selling it for a higher price.
    So what’s the situation if you have a one week sale, one week normal price, then another sale - 30 day lowest price is the same, but the discount is valid too?


  • Yes, but:

    “Scholars say the biggest reason for Japan’s very high conviction rate is the country’s low prosecution rate and the way Japan calculates its conviction rate is different from other countries.According to them, Japanese prosecutors only pursue cases that are likely to result in convictions, and not many others.
    According to Professor Ryo Ogiso of Chuo University, prosecutors defer prosecution in 60% of the cases they receive, and conclude the remaining 30% or so of cases in summary trials. This summary trial is a trial procedure in which cases involving a fine of 1,000,000 yen or less are examined on the basis of documents submitted by the public prosecutor without a formal trial if there is no objection from the suspect.
    Only about 8% of cases are actually prosecuted, and this low prosecution rate is the reason for Japan’s high conviction rate.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_justice_system_of_Japan






  • And when the pampers ad is 24 second long and the walmart ad is 55 seconds, even if they start at the same time, they won’t end at the same time, and now the next ad, even if it starts at 5:00 in the video, starts at a different time as well.

    [Edit] actually, it doesn’t matter. Old timestamps need to work, so when a user links to 5:00 in the video,the actual video stream needs to align with that, but the ad will be injected to the stream before. So trying to jump over the ad would just play you another ad first.
