<p>>I guess those guys mostly make their money by putting up billboards and farming out referrals?<p>I don't know why the manner in which someone studied law would have any impact on how or what they practice now. Most of the law and skill learned is by actually practicing, not what you learn in law school. Law school is about how to think like a lawyer, not how to practice law.<p>Pretty much any even mid-sized legal market is going to have really well-respected attorneys who graduated from some fancy top 5 law school, and some really well-respected attorneys who graduated from a local law school where they took night classes.</p>

<p>It’s people who graduated law school. First year was brutal. Second and third were a breeze and kind of boring.<p>The first year is really teaching you the lingo and how to think like a lawyer. After that it’s almost entirely electives and rarely requires hard work (Fed Courts being the exception).</p>

<p>> not everything is written with being posted on news.ycombinator.com in mind.<p>The creator of this posted it here, though. So maybe if someone is posting something here we can ask that they include sufficient context for the intended readers to understand it.</p>

<p>Yeah. I'd love a decent plug-in EREV in the US. The 2027 Rogue appears to NOT have a plug-in option at the moment.<p>I can't fathom buying an EV and still only getting 40 MPG and needing to buy gas. Ninety percent of my trips are < 40 miles round trip and could be handled by a modest 15kWh battery. For that last ten percent, I'd happily use some gas to not have to worry about charging on the route.<p>Mazda had (has?) some cool EREVs using rotary engines as the power plant. Though sadly without plans to bring them to the US.</p>

<p>Adafruit filed what's called a declaratory judgment action against Flux (Defy Gravity).<p>Adafruit was asking the judge to say that they didn't violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act when they were researching an article and accessed some confidential documents that were inadvertently exposed.<p>Adafruit also asked for a judgement that they didn't defame Flux.<p>Flux responded on August 31, in which they signed a binding release saying they'd never file CFAA claims against Adafruit for the activities described in the complaint.<p>Flux then asked the court to dismiss the second part where Adafruit sought a judgment that they did not defame Flux. The basis is that the court no longer has jurisdiction over the federal claim, so it should go to state court.<p>Flux doesn't really address that the parties are from different states, and thus the court may still be diversity jurisdiction through which the court can maintain jurisdiction over the case.</p>

<p>I understand the answer to the question I'm about to ask, but how does any human read that abstract and not think, "This is entirely too many colons."<p>EDIT: And Pangram agrees that the abstract is 100% AI generated.</p>

<p>I keep on hearing people be excited about PHP. Having first attempted to use PHP in early 00s, I simply cannot bring myself to attempt it again. I once had to rewrite large chunks of a site because it simply couldn't deal with the fact that a string had an apostrophe in it.</p>

<p>A single function button should not behave differently based on where on the button you click it.<p>EDIT: It's also WILDLY inconsistent. Click and drag on a button and the shape doesn't change. Click and drag on an on/off and the deformation follows the mouse. Merely click an on/off and the deformation does not follow the the little circle thingy, or bear any relation to the action of the button.<p>Some of the things are inoffensive, spinner dots, progress bars, accordion menus. But basically anything that deforms on click related to where you click are nonsense.<p>EDIT 2: The buttons in the demo area apparently do have distortion that follows the mouse, but on the left side they don't? For me this is just a lot of bafflingly inconsistent gloss that makes me wonder what's going on or why one thing behaves differently than others, and what that means for actual functionality. Rather than just interacting with the UI.</p>
