The point being made by the headline seems to be that muscle cars in the highest driver death rates charts are prominent by comparison to previous years (they link to 2017 [1], where only the Mustang was present), while mini cars have been

That doesn't appear to be specific to the app. I also have the same thing happen on the website itself, on a desktop. It's not clear that logging in to the DMV is possible at all if your password is expired. Why so many governme

While I'm not quite sure what my opinion on this license is yet, it does appear to try to at least partially address that. Whether or not you are offering the software itself as a service, the license does not allow it to be commercial

Just briefly thinking about this, even simple tile assembly systems can construct structures that would seem to reach arbitrarily high scores on this metric. They can do so with just "the laws of physics and the local environment&quot

Not a typo, just an amusing ambiguity: the course was 191. It would have been around the same time as your friend.

This class is actually BE, not Bi; it's a different department, and I certainly think diffeq would be expected.

I TA'd BE/CS/CNS/Bi/etc 191 years ago, we had some freshman in the class, and there was definitely the expectation they'd have some familiarity with differential equations; for example, the mass-action model of

It could be that they were referring to his prominence as a non-labor lawyer, or that he hadn't had as many prominent cases after fallout from the LA Times case, but it is generally a strange statement. No, he wasn't as famous

To somewhat echo other comments here: users need to be very careful with the git syncing. It works most of the time when edits on git clones and edits on the web interface are being made at very separate times, and when nothing at all is

While it was not your intention for the license to be interpreted in that way, as written, reading the text, it does seem like the most obvious interpretation. There are also other source-available licenses where it is the intended interp

A potential problem for the used market is that, as people upgrade individual components, they are left with used individual components, which are potentially harder to sell than an entire laptop. And as, so far, the major component upgrad

Cryptocurrency bug bounty programs perhaps have an advantage in that the risks of classes of bugs are often concrete, financially quantifiable, immediate, and catastrophic. A bad RCE in a mainstream OS could do untold damage to users, repu

They seem very focused on grid applications, yes. Beyond their key claim of a 10x cost advantage over lithium, it seems like they're only claiming the batteries will hold a charge for around a hundred hours: not at all good for long-te

In addition to the other points brought up, you're comparing global flight statistics with US driving statistics. Fatal commercial aviation accident rates are heavily region dependent. If I recall correctly, the number of fatal aviat

The article points out some mechanisms that account for that. However, at that time scale, I have to wonder whether the mechanism can, or should, run for over a century without stopping, which would seem to imply running without being clean

There does appear to be some licensing awkwardness here. The license is nominally GPLv3, but it says it is based on AGPLv3 projects. It also appears to misidentify (it may have been correct at the time) PyMuPDF as GPLv3 when that appears to

It is, in reality, just paying for a separate line, nothing else. It is not a more convenient or even different security process, as precheck tries to be, it is just a more consistently short line to get to that process. The entire identity

It's the line that adds uncertainty more than precheck vs normal. I can have my electronics and liquids out, and shoes off, in 30 seconds or so. As I'm frequently travelling internationally, I need to be prepared for the combinati

As someone who uses Clear, it has a significant benefit in that, for a comparatively low cost, it makes time through the airport more consistent. If I have priority check-in through airline status, or am not checking baggage, then security

It does seem largely related to that, and it is both frustrating and confusing as to why Google and Microsoft have not developed features and plans that consider these problems, despite so heavily pushing their services to universities. Jus
