I'd also add: NDK uses several different flavors of libc++, each screwed up in its own unique way. Apple uses a bog standard libc++.

I think you meant to say "US Government, as a policy, never tells the truth". If they did, we the people would have thrown them out on their asses before their terms are up.

I will start paying attention to self-driving hype when they make cars that can drive themselves in Alaskan snowstorm. Until then it's just California-only decoy for companies that make their money on shit smart people don't want

Generac, Briggs&Stratton, and Kohler make many generators that are powered by LP or natural gas. These typically start at 10KW or so and go up from there. Powerwall is 5KW sustained and it lasts less than 3 hours at 5KW, after which you

For you maybe. Redundancy in my case comes at a price: kids are about $300k+ a pop nowadays between ages 0 and 18, assuming upper middle class lifestyle. More if you pay for college. That being the case, I'd be willing to pay double th

Then it's just one-sided censorship in favor of narrative peddlers who run major media corporations, and it has nothing to do with suppressing "fake news".

Part of the strategy employed by mainstream media to misinform the public is _selective_ reporting. That is, either the entire event is not reported if it doesn't fit the narrative, or parts that don't fit the narrative are simply

First step should be a car with driver assistance so sophisticated, a human driver can't crash it. Seems like a much more tractable problem, and one I personally would pay quite a bit of money for in a few years, when my son is old eno

Which would you rather drive, a Hyundai or a BMW? And which in your opinion has a better engine, transmission, suspension, interior, etc.

There are a lot cheaper options for a house scale UPS if they have natural gas. Fully automatic, and can run for days on end.

Powerwall is very expensive too. It would cost well over 10k to install 2 modules that their website says would be adequate for my house. I pay something like $100/mo for electricity. Do the math. Solar is way too expensive as well, ev

It's not a "myth". Germany holds a disproportionate market share in heavy industrial equipment and their higher end cars are second to none as far as ICE cars are concerned. Every time I pop the hood on my BMW to top up the w

Bingo. Anyone who thinks the pile-on on Kalanick was the result of Fowler's expose is naive beyond belief. It was a coordinated punishment campaign, the bro culture story just served as a convenient starting point. Now high profile CEO

Hence my comment. North Koreans seem to have a thing for the grandiose.

That's a good way to get rid of Kim Jong Un: show him this thing, say he can't build it, and pretend you're building it. That's what Reagan did to the USSR with the Strategic Defense Initiative (AKA satellites with frigg

Pretend further that an angry mob at work would get you fired if they don't like your stance on this issue.

Supposed to also not have kids then I guess. It's impossible to live without a car in Seattle area if you have kids. And frugality just drives their best employees to Google, which has a significant presence in the area.

Chance also favors those who expose themselves to it. It is very easy to sit on ones ass for a decade, with a narrow and constant social circle, without trying anything new.

More like by 15k/yr. Administrators need to be paid too. It's the same problem as with the government. It's not their money, so they're spending it like it's about to expire.

This has been known for many years. Women engineers at Google were particularly disappointed when for a lot af them the ads demographic inference algorithms would predict that they're men, based on their interest in engineering.

They don't have to run faster than the bear. They just have to beat Amazon.

So now we know why Google's egress was so expensive before. It was the premium offering, and standard wasn't quite ready yet.

I would be absolutely stunned if they do. They'd be always one software bug away from bankruptcy then.

Tight psoas could be a problem. When it's tight, it pulls your lower back vertebrae forward, creating significant shear force. There are stretches specifically for psoas. Try them, they might help.

If they scale them down even more than they already have, we'll end up with a horse drawn buggy. Hey, it's self driving!

If it's not UL listed, you're getting bupkis from insurance if it catches fire. As simple as that.
