You got any sources for this one? I'm super curious about how this works.

Down in flames is possibly an unfortunate choice of words here.

The design of the plane was a financially motivated one and lead to the MCAS system being required in the first place. And your note on lack of redundancy and not providing additional training - surely the costs there are obvious?

TfL has openly said they track mobile device movements in their network.

That seems like a loss for you more than Westinghouse. They don't even exist anymore.

True, and I believe that accident investigators are very good at accurately deducing a vehicle's speed from the accident scene. My concern here is that as an organisation the insurance company is motivated to find ways to not pay you.

I really don't like this trend of considering every facet of my life when making an insurance offer. All these systems seem to lack the nuance to take into account personal circumstances. What if I bought a "bad" condition ho

Does that mean it couldn't be used to decline you coverage in the event of an accident where the data showed that, for example, you were doing 33 in a 30?

Sure I can see that.

There are other ways to defrost a car though.

Yeah and there is also the ridiculous cost of living in a lot of the tech areas. A household earning $117k is on the poverty line in SF.

I doubt that is relevant to the UK though.

I'm sorry if this is a misunderstanding but I thought you pay tax where you do business. So Facebook should be tax on profits generated in the UK - but they play with their corporate structures to make it look like they aren't act

The article quickly mentions that speeding tickets don’t have a cumulative effect like they do in other countries, but doesn’t explain why. Surely this would also make the system more egalitarian - if you’re caught 3 times you lose your lic

In what world is 51.89%/48.11% "so clear"? You make it sound like it was 90%.

Can you see my UN flag? I also posted one of their easter island faces but that got stripped.

I guess it is probably because most people are using desktops/laptops to browse HN. I feel like Emoji use on QWERTY keyboards is harder/less common. It is possible though: 🇺🇳

Totally agree cars are not the right mode of transport for cities. I'm a big fan of park and ride solutions for this - drive to the outskirts, dump the car and ride the train/bus in. I don't think it is really fair however to

The problem is that most of those SOV commuters are commuters because they cant afford to live in the city. I count myself among them. I would rather not drive, but public transport is too expensive and so is housing. If I have to choose be

But your comment glosses over the part about rural people though. The reason these people love them is because there is no alternative and I don't really see how we can change that. Mass transit doesn't make sense in rural areas.

I'm okay with identifying terrorists at airport gates. That doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

I think the problem is that we have no real way of knowing how many threats have been successfully countered by the security services, and no one knows how many potential bad actors have been dissuaded by them either. So it's easy to c

Again, not true. It was nothing to do with "pre-crimes". The people who were banned from travelling to Russia had previously been convicted of football violence related crimes. Also regarding the protests - it really depends on yo

This comment is just the silly kind of bile that gets spewed on Fox News to convince Americans that countries like the UK and Canada as Dystopian Hellscapes. If you had any cultural context around the history of violent football hooliganism

By your logic no one should ever question the financial motivations of anyone, ever. It seems completely reasonable to me to question who stands to gain the most from something like this.

Is 50MB that important? I would just use whatever provides you with the best experience (whichever that may be).

Do you have anything to back up your claim it was caused by the stress? That seems like a pretty big claim to make.
