Crumple zones are designed to protect the occupants, not anyone external to the vehicle. Granted, the kind of basic design changes that would pretty obviously help with pedestrian harm are also.....not sexy. So seems unlikely car manufactur

Probably because there's a dispute over whether anyone was actually arrested, or if they arrested the wrong person, because the journalist who received the video says his source has not been arrested.

Except they're using that rating to influence what you're recommended, even if you don't watch (which they're also tracking). They document more of this than I expected. https://help.netflix.com/en/n

That exists. It's the thumbs down button. Granted, I'm unsure whether they use it to reprioritize the specific show/film, or the entire genre / broader category, or both.

The legislation also pushes providers to implement the technology. The incentives aren't quite aligned for phone companies to stop spoofing on their own initiative. They're still making money on these calls.

No, it has a pretty precise definition. It's money spent on political activism that isn't publicly reported, typically through a specific category of non-profit organization.

It's a little backwards. The top level article is the original. The grandparent linked article is the author's response from last week indicating responses to the top level article made him re-think and feel he was wrong.

Really should have had skiing in Tribes on there. Holding down the jump button reduced friction to zero, so players could slide down hillsides at high speeds and launch themselves into the air by going over bumps. Every attempt at reviving

I'd similarly call out Warframe for this. No required buy ins, but their premium currency can be used for inventory expansion, crafting instant completion (although you can simultaneously craft as much as you want), or trading with oth

Keep in mind "corp" is just a guild in this particular video game. Likely they just have a free/low cost forum page with some minimal aethetic modifications.

No, they're explicitly dropping the scientific study excuse, and using culture now. They're also only going to be whaling in their economic exclusion zone now, rather than going potentially thousands of miles.

There's an FBI affidavit linked in another comment that mentions a search warrant found additional copies of the data at his home, and that he'd been in regular contact with a Chinese competitor, who offered him a job and ~$60k US

It's definitely an oversimplification on my part. Looks like it's a bit of both methods depending on scale and the particular product market. The suppliers compete with each other for shelf space via payments, and the supermarket

A third party company selling products to be sold in supermarkets is basically selling to the supermarket, not to the consumers (if the supermarket stocks their product and it doesn't sell, the supermarket won't keep putting it on

I think they're rooting against him because he's been, frankly, extremely rude and petty in public to people that don't seem to deserve it. It's one thing for a celebrity to "feud" with another celebrity, it&#x

In the US, an ambulance trip can cost thousands. Also, if after being treated / examined, your insurance decides you didn't need the ambulance, they often won't cover it.

If the software physically destroys the hardware that is running it, I'd say that's fairly violent. Stuxnet, the virus it's being compared to, destroyed the centrifuges it infected. Sort of the issue with the "more viole

The fact that CS programs / education largely start at a college / university level is I think a bigger problem. A growing set of countries have such courses as required curriculum for all students, starting earlier.

There's no formal structure/rule for which prince leads / who is "closest" to the throne. It comes down to politics. MBS has many many siblings and cousins, essentially any of whom could "replace" him.

I think a lot of the "confidence" is taken essentially philosophically too. A lot of people who are willing to work on the prosecution side firmly believe in some type of "procedural justice", the notion that a verdict r

They can always say they use the art as decoration for charity events if they need a "use as is" reason for why they accepted the excessive valuation.

As someone who probably qualifies in the "younger coworker" category, I'd be irritated if there was any level of expectation that I worked 10-12 hours a day, unless I wasn't working 5 days a week.

RE: the stairs, sitting on stairs anywhere is sort of bad manners in Japan (considered to be rude), but in most places it would be excused, especially for a visitor who doesn't know better; temples are a different story though. Same th

So it's a little more complicated than that? In their repeal, the FCC argued that the FCC had no authority to enact net neutrality or regulate ISPs. Prior to that, the FCC was considered to have had absolute authority over the issue an

I'd be shocked if things change immediately. Several states are implementing their own Net Neutrality regulations since FCC ceded regulatory authority on the issue, this looks like a transient situation that galvanizes further support

The American view on this seems to largely be that the crooked politicians are the ones OTHER people elect. Since our national level laws and policy are set by representatives of much smaller localities, we can love OUR guy, and think every

I think having hundreds of people buy the tickets would have upped the complexity too much. He didn't deterministically have the exact number. He was playing hundreds of tickets per win still.

Cognitive dissonance associated with politics in some cases, and probably just ignorance and an assumption that there's some amount of fairness and reasonability behind pricing in other cases?
