cgidriver··on Sheetfu – Python library to interact with Google Sheets V4 API
is there something like this for gmail? Where I could query emails from Python and act on them?
cgidriver··on Does Tim Cook have a Plan B in China?
Thanks for the comment. I have read economist articles where they keep writing sentences without any proof of things that actually happened. Subscribe to the economist for a year, read it, and see for yourself?

Thanks for the link. Indeed this might be a tariff on Apple indirectly. When US Companies were moving everything to China, hopefully they had a plan on how to react if China goes south? Perhaps someone at Apple management knows?
cgidriver··on Uber Not Criminally Liable in Death of Woman Hit by Self-Driving Car
It happened because one company was greedy, and negligent, - and has the money to pay the bill. The question is, will the jury really make them pay.

> First of all, this is criminal liability. Uber may still be held financially liable in a civil court.

I am waiting for the 10% of market value punishment for Uber.

> Secondly, liability needs to be decided on a case by case basis.

Agreed.

> In this case, the woman (not "a women") shouldn't have crossed the road and the operator should have been alert.

In this case, "the Uber" should have made sure it's sensors pick up the point cloud in 1/15th of the second and stop the car in time.

>Furthermore, why should a company be criminally liable for >any negligent behavior of an employee? That's ridiculous.

Indeed - I am just preaching for 10%. And only from the shareholders :).

Indeed its worth the risk - but not at the cost of human life. And if the risk is being taken by a company, it has to pay for it - because it intends to reap the rewards? Not a woman or a negligent employee.
