These days "air pollution" means a lot of different things. This article is talking about air quality and particles, such as soot. This impacts mostly the local air quality and environment, whereas CO2 is a global problem and impa

So what about having the dinosaurs sort out and coordinate release dates initially, then giving a few days heads up to LibreSSL (and others). At least it would minimize the risk of zero-daying LibreSSL users. ... but I guess, this isn'

Well everything. Barnevernet cannot comment due to privacy laws. So you get the stories about the "unfortunate parents" that do not understand why their child(ren) were taken away. The reality is that you never hear about the abus

No, don't get me wrong. I am all for better sensors, drivers assist systems, or self-driving cars. I'm just pointing out that self-driving cars are probably more complex than air plane auto-pilots. Although, I have no real knowled
