I would say the guns (including "assault rifles") don't rise to the level of liability. Now if they came out with one that took pictures of your kills and awarded points and trophies, it would be another story.
There is the matter of defining what those precautions would be. Let's face it, the regulators would just be guessing.
I'd say trained commercial drivers, a fuel delivery system similar to one at a gas station and spill cleanup supplies are a good move in the right direction. At lest one of those companies has taken those precautions. They're also working with regulators where possible. It's not like Bubba and Cletus driving around in the old pickup truck with a bucket and a funnel.
In most cases of successful lawsuits, the defendant should have apologized and then made the plaintiff whole, but it didn't happen without the court. That's not to say there aren't suits with no merit whatsoever, but absent the court, how do we decide?
There has been research. The treatment is currently approved for C. difficile. Of course the FDA couldn't wait to jump in and slow down the research.
Delivery methods include a nasal tube, an enema, scope, and enteric coated pills or capsules. The latter is probably the simplest and doesn't release the payload until it is past the stomach.
The probiotics can help people but they are far from complete. We don't even know the full composition of the gut microbiome.
I'm not sure why he pushed it as far as he did, but the procedure he did on his gut is gaining acceptance in spite of the FDA rushing in to put the brakes on progress.
First, it wasn't willy-nilly. He passed it on to people he trusted to release the information selectively. Next, he tried those other avenues and it went nowhere. What makes you think an agency that purgers itself before Congress will behave legally when things like this come up?
The people had a right to know their tax dollars were hard at work taking a dump on the Constitution and the flag. If it's inconvenienced the NSA, perhaps they should start working on their mandate rather than becoming a domestic enemy of the people.
It's free will all the way down. They chose to participate, they chose to cooperate rather than making random animal noises or always picking the same circle. They chose to accept the answer from their subconscious processing rather than ignore it. The subconscious chose not to say fish.
The study just showed that we are not fully aware of subconscious processes (but that's a tautology). If anything, the study supports free will by showing that we can choose not to listen to the subconscious.
There are other weirder interpretations as well but Occam suggests we not go there.
I understand it, I just reject it. People are not hammers. I find it odd that you can't understand that sentience makes a world of difference. There is a hole in your mind. Perhaps you can fix it or perhaps it means you will never be able to understand. But for the many contributions of others, you would at best be sitting naked in a cave, probably without a fire. More likely you would have died after a short brutal life.
I notice you claim the accomplishments for yourself because you trained your employees. Why don't you ascribe it all to your parents who made and trained you? (a lot more than you did for your employees)
Fully on-board with 1,2, and 4. 3 is more complicated. First, not all doctors are practicing in good faith and those who aren't should be sued. Second, we need to solve the lack of a proper social safety net that leads patients left with a disability to sue out of desperation for a way to live. It's notable that states that imposed limits on malpractice settlements as part of tort reform have seen no improvements in the cost or quality of healthcare. Cover those issues somehow and I'll sign off on 3 as well.
I would add in billing control. The patient has a right to know the actual cost up front and to shop round unless it's an emergency. Once offered, no surprise bills from additional parties. Where legitimately necessary, a price range can be offered but if they end up charging the max every time there will be an investigation. The price for common procedures should be published.
That may actually do the job for elective procedures and to some extent, non-emergency healthcare. But we will still tend to see significant market distortions for emergency procedures that will need to be addressed.
We will also need to address unnecessary tests and procedures.Some of that is CYA from fear of lawsuits, but just among friends and acquaintances I have seen doctors include tests that couldn't possibly come back positive given that the patient was awake and alert. Perhaps egregious cases should be considered malpractice much like it is in many engineering fields.
Well, I guess in that case, everybody learns something. Perfect safety doesn't exist, all we can do is take reasonable precautions and hope for the best.
And I'll toss in a dash of condescension for good measure.
You may be surprised to learn that I own a business and that I hire and sometimes fire people. The problem here is that you don't understand that you are NOT the alpha and omega.
Consider, if you don't do what the accountant needs, he'll get another employer that does better.
If I was CEO, I'd remind shareholders that my job is to increase the value of the company and that one way to do that is to think long term about the people who work for the company.
Also agreed. At one time, this was a common understanding and we had general prosperity. Loyalty (or lack of it) cuts both ways. I don't think it is a coincidence that along with the new cutthroat management style we are seeing decades old companies doing a crash and burn.
Sorry, no. You're part of the machine too. Next you'll be claiming you raised them from newborns.
Unless you stand over them saying move your finger a little to the left. A little more. Up a bit. No about half that...Now PRESS!, their skills are coming in to play.
I'm going to double down on the ego comment, you're even trying to claim their skill as your own.

He didn't say they are stupid, but that they make money when other people are stupid.

Does your GPS award virtual trophies for your friends to see based on your speed?
IU guess we'll see i that rises to the level of liability.

It may be one of the few cases of actual theft since the result is that Apple gains a copy and he lost one.

No, not if his orders and the NSA's actions are in defiance of the Constitution. Nothing in the Constitution says blindly obey your glorious leader.
Or that's my way of saying you need to step up your game.
Sure, we mandate mitigation but car accidents are still a common reason for unpayable medical bills.
Does that also apply to contact sports? How about skydiving?
Does it apply to driving?
Meanwhile, in this case, he may have saved healthcare a lot of money.
So do you. There are even legal limits on the amount in food, as there is for bug parts.
That would be why he promptly replaced them with a new biome.

If he swore to protect the Constitution, his oath might have bound him to leak after getting nowhere internally.

Care to name one? Pick one that has already disappeared to make sure no damage is done.
