> I still doubt they're gonna face any serious penalties
Having to fix all P320 fire control units they've sold so far will put them out of business. You don't even need any additional penalties on top of that. I just hope they can spin off Optics division before that happens.
And that's why it won't happen. One of the reasons huge companies don't get punished in full is that destroying them could be destabilizing to the economy and therefore hurt's the ability of the people with power to get reelected.
Wouldn't someone buy their capital equipment and IP for pennies on the dollar if they went bankrupt though?

It feels like you are pressing on a tennis ball, zero real feedback whatsoever. Acura MDX has had the brake-by-wire system fo a while now in the latest generation.

What AWS/GCP/Azure provide with managed Redis is much much more than just a UI. There are a lot of technical issues that come with running Redis reliably in the cloud. I’d say UI work is probably 5% of that at most.
I would think if you embedded a recipe for sugar cookies in a convoluted story about how you tried different kinds and amounts of butter, sugar, leavening, and flour that you could probably copyright the story and leave derivation of the recipe as an exercise for the reader.
Are we sure that he actually died in that accident and not chilling somewhere in Florida under a different name? Cause it can be a good cover story do disappear your agent that successfully fulfilled his mission.
