They definitely deserve to 'go under' because of the way they handled this. Anything less and it's going to be enabling these shannanigans
If Boeing goes under, then Airbus becomes a monopoly.

> the new capacity had caused all of the servers in the fleet to exceed the maximum number of threads allowed by an operating system configuration. [...] We didn’t want to increase the operating system limit without further testing
Is it because operating system configuration is managed by a different team within the organization?

You shouldn't compare bridge building to developing a trading apps (on causes death, the other merely financial loss)
Compare bridge building to developing software for pace maker.
Now compare number of failures in both cases.
You get what you pay for, if you pay for developer you'll get a developer.
You can convert between financial loss and loss of human life using implied cost of averting a fatality [1], which is about $10 million.

That mess of laws is an inherent part of our strong foundation in federalism.
Yet somehow the 1st or 5th Amendment are applied across all states uniformly, unlike the 2nd.

Idea: disarm the police.
In practice, very few police interactions require a firearm, so why have that as the default? If a police officer is working in a dangerous neighborhood, then they can exercise their right to carry a personal firearm at their own expense. However, any decision to use the gun would be 100% the individual’s risk as they won’t be able to hide behind their departments policies and procedures as an excuse to shoot people. So a police officer deciding to shoot someone is no different from your neighbor deciding to shoot someone. It might also incentivize individuals to seek out real firearms training on their own.
EMS people might be trained in mental health, but police officers are better prepared to deal with aggressive people, defend themselves (with batons, pepper spray, tasers, etc), and make arrests.
For dangerous situations that require firearms, you can call in a completely separate organization dedicated to that, like SWAT or whatever.
Or is this too naive and/or stupid?

That's not disarming the police, just making them pay $500 out of pocket.

The more unfaltering facts uncovered about US the better for Russia. They also like to point to US to justify actions within the country: COPM is justified by NSA surveillance. They see Snowden as their guy and protect him.
Snowden is against government surveillance. It's hard to argue he can be used to justify SORM.

No capital letters, though. It is important to follow all security rules. Weakest link and such. If only his password was Maga2020!, it would be impossible to hack.
