Anyone else confused how a bar could legally have no EIN?

If you want to be extremely kind to American regulators, you could argue that they banned sonic booms out of an overabundance of caution and wanted to see how bad of a problem it was. But it was clear after years of Concorde flights over As

High bypass turbofans can be used for supersonic transport, as can even more sophisticated efficiency wins, like geared turbofans. SST was killed by noise regulations in North America, which in turn were largely protectionism that Boeing de

Your demo page is 3.23 MB. ~500KB is javascript, ~500KB is CSS and another ~400KB is web fonts. The parts database is 24 KB. That's certainly not the first place I would look for an optimization target, even for customers with very lar

One of the major benefits of CarPlay is that this is avoided, because there's a secure link established between the phone and car at setup time.

I'm surprised how little RAM they're giving it. The amount available to the game is only increasing by 50% over the Xbox One X. I think developers are going to struggle to squeeze the proposed visual improvements. If Sony gives a

Better metrics would include: - Looking at MSAs or CSAs rather than cities proper, since cities like SF are tiny and you get a distorted view by ignoring people that work or live outside the city - Including non-commute usage data. A good t
