Nuclear might be better and cheaper over it's entire lifecycle; but given that the starting costs are so high, the time to build is so long, and the US has serious problems with cost overruns in public projects, as well as the ficklene

Zoro still has them in stock. If you haven't heard of them, they are a subsidiary of Grainger, a huge industrial supply company. They seem to ship even faster than Amazon in my experience. https://www.zoro.com/3m-full-f

This is fearmongering. Your skin does not absorb everything it touches, otherwise I would be drunk from using 70% ethyl alcohol hand sanitizer. And the claim that microplastics, physical particles, go right into your skin also seems questio

It seems the answer is yes. From their web site: > Fair prices, based on how you drive [...] Get a discount, and earn a lower premium as you drive better.

We don't know if 50% makes it actually cheaper than other car insurance companies, or the coverage is comparable, or if they have comparable service. Or if they sell your location information to marketers.

The Samsung A-series are way too good for the price. I'm not surprised people aren't willing to pay twice the price (a Galaxy S) for incredibly marginal gains. If you're not trying to use your phone as a gaming PC, or taking

Impossible is probably the wrong word. But where I live, a superficially "progressive" area, many of these traffic calming, road diet, etc. measures are met with regular opposition.

I love walking up stairs and detest stair machines (and treadmills to an extent). You have to tell your brain to not look ahead to where you are stepping and use your peripheral vision and memory, but instead trust that there will always be

Google might even know how many drivers aren't obeying the speed limit or slow-rolling through stop signs. I wonder if they already have partnerships with law enforcement to detect areas where the traffic law is more ignored than other

There are already anecdotes of people aggressively jaywalking in front of a Waymo because they know it will stop, and people driving more aggressively around Waymos because it will always defer to them.

I am not sure. Self-driving is complex and involves the behavior of other, non-automated actors. This is not like a compression algorithm where things are easily testable and verifiable. If Waymos start behaving extra-oddly in school zones,

Yes, flagship models aren't intended to be good sellers. They often are where new features are tested out on customers willing to overpay to be early adopters. Tesla did test out the new steering yoke and removing the control stalks in

I don't think this leak implies that (all/some) Android phones will get desktop projection. It just means that Android has a desktop OS and is likely replacing ChromeOS as has been rumored for a while.

So if the agencies already have this information, then you are not actually giving them any information. This is a test to see if you are compliant. Also, given how much inaccurate information is on the internet, including AI hallucinations

They probably don't pay rent for the spot. The point of a food truck is that it's technically just a vehicle, and vehicles are allowed to move and park whenever there is parking. I'm sure there are rules about how long a vehi

The stability of the entire country seems to be suspect. The US just had its longest government shutdown, where the government was non-functional. Yet no politicians appear to have suffered any consequences, and there are rumors of another.

Interesting, I wonder how many invisible third parties exist at the state or regional level that would be represented in a better system. That being said, this state government seems rather large for Minnesota, a state with a population of
