That's a remarkable amount of work to steal the car. Probably they tried to steal it right then and there, thieves don't like to return to a crime scene. For Tesla, if they really want they could pry open the frunk and remove the

The challenge is that the most valuable parts of a Tesla, the battery pack and motors, have their own traceable electronic IDs. In the case of the Tesla Model 3/Y, the motors won't work without the VCSEC, the security controller f

Tesla (at least M3s) cannot be remotely disabled when driving. But the owner can make life seriously problematic for the thieves; the car' location is tracked down to the meter, the horn and windows and sometimes music can be remotely

Do you really want to do tennis with how much good/bad the catholic church has done? Good that they provide some hospitals, but not a replacement for good government policy.

Yet this attitude rarely comes with systemic care for those born with handicaps, so actually it is a form of classist cruelty. There is no shortage of suffering, we don't need to choose to create more.

US Marshals straight up executed an American citizen in Portland (to wit, Michael Forest Reinoehl) on order of the President. Trump himself all but admitted it, in classic Trump style. I'd say that ranks as "kick the shit out of y

Expertise is relative. Having compiled a few kernels in my life I wouldn't consider myself an operating systems expert, but to a career plumber, I am. Heck, a friend of mine is a PhD in physics, operates a particle accelerator for work

WordPerfect definitely has styles, so in a way WordPerfect is like CSS. Whatever Word is it has always been a little broken, and remains a little broken to this day. When a document gets large weird style behavior creeps in and makes the ed

The system is apparently tracking age and gender of people visiting the information kiosk. This hardly seems like invasive tracking. Even tracking an individual's movement through the mall with the purpose of providing security and mar

No. There are many public webcams up already you can google and see right now, that content is free and not going away. What's missing is high def up-close cameras, which gets dicey w.r.t. privacy if you're making a profit off the

Similar to my experience of surveying vacuum cleaners on Amazon, then going to get lunch at Whole Foods where a clerk appeared suddenly at the checkout I was at to vacuum up a non-existent mess, with one of the models Amazon had offered up.

Perseverance, James Webb ST, TESS, all come to mind. The common thread is that we're finding there's a lot to look at locally and with much higher fidelity than ever before, including Mars, Enceladus, and small bodies like Ceres,

Just because it passed the bar at NY Post doesn't mean it passes the bar at Twitter.

People would find that unreadable, and someone would come along to replace twitter or facebook with a better experience.

That's kinda unfair though. She was jaywalking in the dark far from any crosswalk on a main street. On average 16 pedestrians are killed every day in the United States. While the car could have done better, it's not really clear t

To be fair, the ATC led the pilot to the conclusion "jet pack". It was not an independent observation from the pilot. It could have very well been an aircraft drone.

Everyone is using a restricted subset of language. 90% of the communication ATC uses is with the same 200 words or so, and most of the people involved (ATCs, pilots) know what is expected next.

That's why there's an intake age limit. They like the start ATCs off when they're young. Also the reason why, if you ever get to visit an ATC center, you'll see a lot of tattoos. Inking is very popular among ATCs.

Are you asking if we can bump the existing magnetic field dynamos into stability? It's an interesting idea but given the size and power of earth's natural field, I'm pretty sure that the math would work out to more energy tha

This doesn't seem right, how does a rod go from 1mm in diameter to 100mm in diameter under pressure? Also, how does one "wrap tightly"? The material would fracture under the stress of the first wrap.

Except that who did the analysis is part of the analysis, which allows you to select and trace based on qualifications that you think are important. This above proposal sounds like a bunch of random people off the street, which is not at al

This sounds like a recipe for exacerbating climate change denialism. Let the truth be defined by your peers? I don't think so.

This is wrong thinking. Nobody can really control when someone takes a nefarious interest in them. Public identity is only fine if there's nobody out there who wants to harm you. But since you can't control who wants to harm you,
