Where exactly would the money come from to do that? Bulldozers don't drive and fuel themselves.

Someone in Equifax was made aware of the breach on July 29, 2017. It defies common sense that the chief officers of the company did not learn of it until the same time as the general public, over a month later.

> Average life of ICE vehicles can't be 266kkm, that's absurdly low. People buy a lot of Chryslers, Fiats, Fords, and Chevys. You'd be lucky (or cursed, depending on how much you hate the car) to make it to 266kkm with a C

Sure, as far as basic transportation goes, but you can't get the vastly improved safety features in a used car that you can in most new cars today. Buy a new Toyota? It comes with automatic emergency braking, collision avoidance, blind

Minneapolis, MN is one of the exceptions. The city has invested in good bike lanes and as a result, people do bike in big numbers. Some folks bike year round, even when the temperature is well below freezing. The city benefited greatly from

They're turbojet engines, not the turbofans that you see today. Turbojets have a smaller intake and the entire thing produces thrust. Unlike today's much more efficient turbofans, where a small turbojet turns the larger fans to pr

I think the LA Times takes the crown for the most unperformant tracker and advertising infested legitimate news site. Ghostery counts 88 advertisers / tracking scripts on this page and it still not done loading. What a disaster.

All of those homes cost nearly or over $1M. A garage is $60k. How is this even remotely similar?

Ghostery identifies 10 trackers and uBlock shows 7 advertising scripts, which seems like a lot for a page that you'd think shouldn't need advertising. The page doesn't even display if you block some of these scripts. This is

Except that a drone can be flown into a "sanitized" area after the EMP goes off. I don't think an EMP is an effective solution.

At any large media organization, there are tremendous amounts of content no longer connected to any CMS that may have hard-coded insecure links/resources in them. Some of them may live on obscure servers or domains. Or the developers&#

I read this a lot. Why do you expect this to be the case? Social Security may become unable to pay the benefits that you're expecting at some point because the input from workers will not be enough to pay those benefits. But that doesn

I'm disappointed that this article doesn't mention iMessage. From what I understand, it's end-to-end encrypted and Apple doesn't have a key.

I'm really curious about these. I wear hearing aids and these things seem damn close in a lot of respects, except about $5000 cheaper. The hearing aid industry has seen a lot of pressure from consumer electronics (which is great) and I

Absolutely. Have owned a Prius and a Subaru. The Prius with good snow tires was phenomenal in the snow, better than the Subaru with all-seasons.

In real life, in most situations, ground clearance, good tires, traction control and ABS make more difference than driving all four wheels, most of the time. Personally, I'm more concerned with stopping than starting, and that's w

I sort of agree with you, but I think the distinction is that the behaviors of Apple, Google, and Amazon aren't solely intended to lock in their marketshare. And, they all three compete with each other now, though in different ways. I

It takes far too long to get a fecal transplant for c. diff, especially when it has a proven success rate of about 92%, compared to 50-80% for the antibiotics. This is a big deal.
