As a taxpayer and citizen, there are good reasons I want every kid to achieve great education results. The fact that it is probably impossible, is irrelevant. I want that. This is why we have universal education in most countries. Despite t

Even if this is true, we should still reject any falsified study that supports it.

(read the other replies first, I'm going to assume you understand that first!) There are a lot of researchers writing papers. In many fields it isn't possible to read them all, so you need someone to make a selection of what is u

I didn't mean we shouldn't engage with data at all. However there are so many possible confounding factors in this type of measurement that we should "take it with a lot of salt."

Plank is dead and so cannot defend himself. You are at least alive and have a potential to do something (what or if it will work is an open question). Plank is very famous. If this happens to you, but 50 years after you die: odds are you

Worse than anecdotal - even if there is real measured data: aerodynamics of windshields will have changed and have an effect and so we still cannot draw conclusions from this. Only if the experiment is more controlled (that is the same car

You can get close enough by testing only the known edge cases. If you need more mathematical proofs can give it but they are much harder.

I tell people you should be testing at the level where a change would be so hard you wouldn't do it anyway. Internal helper functions - they are tested only because the code that calls them passes. Interfaces that are used thousands

Are you sure about that? Things that didn't happen in the US but did happen in [insert corrupt any country] should be prevented. Even things that only happen in books/movies should still be prevented early just in case.

Long before then, but that was a major Inflection point. FDR was not friendly to Constitutional limits either.

How was European copyright law in the 1950s? That is relevant here and I don't know.

That is how most of the middle class in the US works. Now granted the US middle class is well off by world standards but they don't consider it luxury they consider it normal.

I can't find the details, but this needs to be under the copyright laws of the 1950s, which were very different from today. If they didn't properly register and re-register the copyright over the years the copyright is public dom

Most EVs are not old enough to need a replacement so no surprise you haven't seen it. I've seen places offering to do it to a leaf. However the cost is more than the leaf is worth by the time it needs it. I know a few people wit

Probably, but that is a difference concern. The concern here is the average car is 12 years old. If your battery only lasts 10 years, odds are the car is worse less after you replace the battery than the cost of a battery replacement. Thu

I do have my laundry room right next to the garage. However, I would not consider it a useful place to plug in a car, except maybe as an extreme emergency. It requires moving the dryer out of the way since the outlet is near the floor behin

Probably not. The US constitution limits what government can force on the people. If the NSA tries to force something that will spend years in court (if anyone wants to fight)

It is a reasonable bet that your boss has a "wife" who is also driving a car every day. Which is to say they could have an EV for the closer trips and whoever really is doing the long trip that day can get the gas car. Or a PHEV

TX is the key. Where I live nobody would put a washroom in an unheated space - the pipes would freeze and break. Thus no easy to get at dryer outlet. I'm not sure how far north things change, but my impression is not very. Rest area

I'm not sure if AI can do those today, but they probably can in the near future. (probably we will be able to see obvious "that can't be human" for a while longer)

Only if you have maintainers everywhere. I live in a small city in the middle of the US - how far is it to a maintainer? 4 hours to Kansas City, or fly to San Francisco? Either way the burden seems far too high.

They can. They have already figured out a lot of what cloudflare is looking for and have figured out how to bypass it. (according to the article) Which is why protection is trying something else. I suppose this is why every website want

Even at the height of that, most people were buying used cars. However the cheap CAFE cars did bring in a few people who would be on the fence of affording a new car. Those cheap cars also got people who could afford a bigger car, but the

A fast charge over lunch would be acceptable. However there are not near enough fast chargers. Every fast food place needs to have 1/2 of their parking spots equipped with a faster charger (1/4 if there is a way to limit them to

I can find 1000 watts of electric anyplace. However to get any reasonable range from that means my car has to sit there 3-4 days! This works for me because I only make the long trips on weekends (I ride my bike to work when the weather al

The Slate only tows 2000lbs, and has a tiny bed. If you need a truck it isn't for you. Maybe it works as a SUV. Of course most people only need a coupe to begin with. Too bad you can't buy any that are cheap. (that and you mos

Sure, but it is all specific to the Leaf. And newer leafs apparently have good systems and won't have that problem. The problem is we can only guess because we are talking about going to trash in 8-10 years, and most EVs are not near t
