More like “we don’t care about emissions because we only make 20 cars per year.” It makes no sense to get all up in arms about carbon emissions from sports cars. As a fraction of the market, even if you include more mainstream manufacturers

Yawn. The financier CEO of the automaker in one of the worst financial positions, with the lowest R&D spending, oldest product line, and nonexistent EV strategy complains that auto R&D is too expensive and argues the solution is tha

Article is written by someone who does not own a truck or SUV and consists mainly of him sneering in superiority at those who do. Aaron Gordon, whoever you are: mind your own damn business.

Apple doesn’t design their products as a bundle of parts and components to be independently monitored and maintained by their users. They do their best to hide all those details from you and handle it themselves. In part, this integrated an

I’ve always thought the coverage of this issue got things completely backwards. Apple had an issue with old phones unexpectedly shutting down. They determined this happened because aged batteries were not capable of delivering peak current

The point is not make airplanes “as safe as possible.” It’s to make them safe, while also balancing cost, fuel economy, maintenance, payload, etc. In this case, it is not clear that the actual safety risk is severe enough to justify the sig

Exactly. The current bullshit situation is due to a federal regulation that requires airlines allow emotional support animals. This proposal would simply eliminate that requirement.

Sounds great. I’ve been a delighted Jetbrains user since I started using IntelliJ in 2002, when it was clearly head and shoulders above every other Java IDE, and I’ve been pleased to see the company’s continued growth and success over the p

I’m a developer and a pilot. I understand that cost is not the only factor. My frustration is, the attitude in the media today is to report negatively on every single instance they can find of Boeing trying to reduce costs as if that is a s

By what mechanism does an individual suffer harm through this shadow profile? In what way do you imagine Facebook challenging the sovereignty of a government?

Why does the government need to stick their fingers in this? No one needs Facebook. If you’re not happy with the product or with the company’s ethics, stop using it.
