I've been there before. I had a high deductible health plan, it was December & I hadn't used any of my premiums... I had a heart attack (I didn't know it at the time). And my mind went to "but my premium! I know, I&#

On your point of self-driving, I was just looking into if this would be compatible with a comma.ai autopilot, and it looks like Slate doesn't even have the default hardware onboard to allow it (and there's no option to add it?). U

I get it that this is satire, and that they're giving DB a hard time about their constant delays -- but on the other hand there's EU Regulation 261/2004 for compensation for delayed flights. I just found out about EU Regulati

I agree with you that FAR covers all airspace. There's an interesting case on airspace (over an Indian reservation) & an emergency landing that's winding its way through the courts right now [0] [0] https://avweb.co

Sadly accurate - and what is worse is that child support laws by state [0] are actually even more dated in their mechanisms, where despite using an "income shares" model, most don't take custody & parenting time into acco

Interesting - will this open a back door to having Chinese EVs on US roads? I would assume some sort of kei truck loopholes would have to be found to solve state-level registration or insurance requirements.

Curious about what you're using as a cycling platform -- just the Peloton, or are you on a bike trainer? There's a huge library of workouts out there (see [0] as just an example), but mostly targeted at % FTP. The flow path is gen

There's a very specific reason (or quirk) as to why Texas leads the nation in renewable energy -- ERCOT. Basically, 90% of Texas' electric load is serviced by in-state assets, and they have very few interconnections to the rest of

I found it especially ingenious when they mentioned: "another candidate wrote more than 120 lines of code to influence A.I. and hid it inside the file data for a headshot photo." Next level steganography. It chafes me that recruit
