You need a big fancy building in a fancy city to attract top talent, high earners, so it keeps the class system intact as well.

I don't think that this is that true anymore.

Remote work is not right for ALL companies. Just ones that are completely or predominantly software-based.

I would expand to all the jobs that can be done with a laptop, an internet connection and a phone.

You’re missing the point of a safety feature. The car shouldn’t, by itself, close the lid if something’s in the way. It should allow the user to push it down, or disable it temporarily, to do so.

I get the safety feature. The point is that here I am saying to the car to close the lid even if something is in the way. I made a conscious decision to do so, and more than one time, so I expect the car to do it. But I agree that it could have been designed in a better way.

The point of a safety feature in any system is to prevent unexpected situation from having unexpected consequences, not to be a magic solution that accommodate for brainless people. In one direction, you can make the judgement call and force the thing down, in the other direction you lose a finger.

Which is exactly what happened here. He made the judgement call to ignore the safety feature (and probably ignored how the feature works)

Probably the request to Proton arrived from a Swiss judge, who received a request from Spanish judge, and he evaluated the request and decided that it has merit.

Obviously.

But let's face it: if the car lid would never close if something is in the way, some other dumb youtuber would have made a video about it and here there would be a discussion about how stupid are the engineers to not let the lid close even if a bag in slightly on on the way and the user know what they are doing.

What person with an automated cargo door closure mechanism has thought “stop protecting my stuff and just fucking close”?

The same person that sometime need to force the door to close because even if his things are in the way, he know there will not be damages, just a bag a little more pressed. Or some more trashed trash you are taking to the landfill

I’ll admit it annoys me when there’s something in the way that keeps my door from latching and it reopens, but I’d rather have to clear the door and shut it manually than it force itself closed and jams the door or break my shit.

Which is what the system assume in this case. It stops 3 times, the 4th it suppose that the human know what he is doing.

Nope, but they probably know that an elevator doors and a car lid are two completely different thing with different use cases and security concerns.

Never tried to force the closing of your trunk lid because there is a bag that is slightly over the limit and you need a little more pressure, even if the bag is a little pressed down ?

The assumption here is that if it is your finger which is in the way, you take it out the way and you are not that stupid to try to close it again if for some reason you are not able move it away, which to me seems to make a lot of sense.

I don't know, but if they live there, I think they have it that good.

It is more (way more) probable that they just commute far enough away from there to have lower housing cost

Not a doctor here, but fulminant meningitis can kill a person in about 24/48 hours even if treated, for example.

They cannot, that is the reason you need to pay that much to work for you.

Why pay someone $200k/yeae when someone will do the job for $80k/year?

Assuming the same job's quality, a possible answer is "because to live where your company is you need to be paid $200K/year"
