Biodiesel company unable to produce quality product, resorts to selling fraudulent biofuel credits (without underlying biofuel). Founder is caught and jailed.

I agree to a point, but to further the game analogy, no other game has rules quite so complicated. When the referees decide that you had a foul in the first quarter, you begin a complex process of determining what the result of the game wou

I imagine the issue is that the iPhone has non-backed up information on it. From what I've read Apple has already turned over the latest backup from ~6 weeks before the shooting. Getting a current backup would require the phone's

I believe they could, but then anyone view it by going to the same academic source. Only the NFL could profit from it, but by then the game would be freely available. I'm also curious about the reproduction of "the work". If

While the "Buy Pre-Owned Today" option is given equal weight on the website, I specifically am referring to what happens on the back end. When you buy new, a new car is configured to your liking. I have to imagine Tesla's ful

I'm sorry your comment is being buried, because I think you do bring up a good point. This was not the usual Tesla process for purchases. The author wanted an "inventory" car at a discount. Now because Tesla offers this optio

There's an important distinction between an "honest" CSR and an oversharing CSR. The response of a CSR to a complaint should be "I'm sorry this happened. Here's how I will make it right". Occasionally it&#

I would think that too, but it seemed that because of the testing, the vehicle was no longer available to the customer, and would retire as an R&D vehicle. From the write up, Tesla pre-sold a used vehicle, and then was unable to fulfill

True, but I imagine for most people that going from never winning a lottery to winning a fraction of a lottery is still a much bigger step than winning a fraction of a lottery to winning a larger fraction of a lottery. If you want to max ou

Good point. A more nuanced calculation would look at the discount rate for that money, but even then it seems like better odds than Vegas.

I'm wondering the same thing. I'd guess it's the risk of having too many winners coupled with the fact that any entity with that much cash to "invest" has regulations preventing them from investing in a lottery. (Th

This method helps to improve the expected value from a lotto ticket (though it's still far less than the ticket price), but I'm curious what happens if someone purchases one of every combination. I hear that the odds of winning ar

Perhaps another way of interpreting that statement is that you are responsible for not imposing yourself on other people. Assuming "other people" to mean any member of the human race, your interpretation would seem to mean "y

Right, but it's still a net loss to them. If I have $200M in unrealized long-term capital gains (taxed federally at 20% for 2015), I have $160M in after tax potential. By donating $100M, I'm losing $60M in potential cash as oppose

True, though Volvo != Volkswagen. We're left with three options, each of which is unappealing to some group. 1) Leave affected VWs as-is. Fine VW as necessary. Cars will continue to pollute above the permitted amount. 2) Neuter affecte

I believe the issue lies in the cars' ability to fallback to a lower-performance mode when the system recognizes that it's being tested. The low-performance mode passes the tests. The ECU update would require that the "emissi

A (the left-brain/logical approach): There are 168 hours in a week. If you work 40 of them (+ 10 hours for inconvenient lunch breaks and commuting) and sleep 56 of them, you have 62 hours left. There you go. Figure out where those 62 h

Generally the result is not immediate. The speed of your network and Siri's delay you should have a second or two to interrupt the attack.

As presented, people are only vulnerable if they: - Allow Siri from the lock screen - Have headphones plugged in (presumably Apple's) - Are not using their device or have their headphones in (otherwise the attack would be detected imme
