I like HUD, but I think that GPS-enabled cruise control (with camera backup) is the best way to handle avoiding excessive speed with technology. The hardware for that is in most cars now.

That actually seems like a pretty easy thing for a computer to handle detecting, so the answer is probably yes. A lot of cars will now not only detect that but actually brake for you.

You mean front, top and center? Well, that's just bad design, right there. There should be a tachometer there.

Blaming your speedometer for bad ticketing practices is like blaming cotton for slaves getting whipped.

That doesn't really reflect on the validity of the idea of a HUD, though.

The right way to do it is reputation. Reviews on TripAdvisor are generally ignored if they are not attached to a human with good reputation. Nothing else matters but the web of trust. It's difficult and time-consuming to fake enough content to get a whole bunch of accounts good fake rep in such a system.

Are there any SBCs that don't cost twice as much as the equivalent ARM? And preferably, made by a company that knows that "minicomputer" already has a meaning?

Seems like ARM got cheaper than MIPS a long time ago, and the only reason MIPS is still hanging on is inertia

No, it becomes libel when, rather than stating an opinion that you were not happy with the results you make up things to harm the other's reputation. It's been that way a long time before this internet thing...

It sounds like he is pretty sure they are false, so yes, libel trumps privacy in this case. If the reviews are honest they can go to court and request to be dropped from the suit if named or provide proof to Yelp and ask not to be unmasked.My guess and TFA indicate he has agog idea who it is based on work he has done but needs Yelp to verify who did it prior to naming them.

Actual and punitive damages. He can ask but may not get anywhere near that number.

Personally, this sounds like a project that, for whatever reason, went south and rather than cut their losses one side decided to get revenge and is now finding out that may not have been a good idea.

it would seem the defendant(s) would have a pretty good defense if they can show receipts for rework, notices of failed inspections, proof of injury to the daughter and the resultant investigation, etc. Since each instance has a $165,000 amount tagged to it I'm guessing it's all one job. As such, they sound a bit extreme.Some sound like a bit of did, did not such as the "they said bad things..."

Come on, you've been around long enough to know that facts and law doesn't matter when posting to /. What matters is ranting about how "Our freedoms are being taken away" when some idiot gets hit with a clue by four for doing something stupid on the internet.

It became a rational fear when we began to get the technology to deal with it. If you can't do anything about it, then you just go about your business. Once you can, then it's worth worrying.

It's already illegal to intentionally make false statements in writing for the purpose of causing harm. It's called Libel, and it's not new. This is not an "on the internet" law, this is just a law.

There are many kinds of people, but for the purposes of this comment there are only two: those who went into programming because they love programming, and those who went into programming because they heard it paid well. Those people should go into management (or marketing) where they can do less damage.

Well gee, I believe it's because management sets the salaries.

The easiest job in the building seems to be HR. You just act like a cancer, and they shower you with money. It's the American HR Society model.

Not any time soon. This situation where it's difficult to prove whose fault it is benefits everyone but the consumer, which is why it won't change.

Well, any hidden gun can do that. If you can't get your hands on an improperly licensed weapon, you must not live in the USA.

Thus encapsulating much of the hubris and disdain in the comments. Managing, like engineering, is about figuring out how a system works and solving problems to het it to work like you wanted. Except, instead of dealing with things you are dealing with people; in a system that is infinitely more complex and challenging. That is a real engineering problem that not all engineers can solve. Programmers are even worse than engineers because people don't follow a prescribes set of rules like a program does.
