I thought there must be some kind of standard, but at present all,I can find in Australia is a requirement that the speedometer be visible and prominent at all times day and night.

Do you understand the infrastructure required to support “simple paper signs”? They’d have to spend days reprinting signs when something as simple as the timing for one stop on a bus route changed. Also the simple paper signs couldn’t tell

What if oil pressure and engine temperature didn’t matter anymore? The only number of concern is the speed, and that’s displayed in prime position and never moves.

What you are describing is race driving. What you are complaining about is being restrained from being a danger to the public. Great read for the letters to the editor page of a car enthusiast magazine that specialises in draping hot chicks

What about unintentional passcode attempts such as a phone in a pocket getting butt-dialled?

Note to self: in this article, “ERP” means “Enterprise a Resource Planning” but uses it as a synonym for “SAP”. There was no Erotic Role Play involved. One thing that rings true in both worlds is that any system should be exactly as large a

Starlink uses radio to communicate with the ground. A common complaint from radio astronomers is new radio satellite operators promising to not interfere with radio astronomy and then making no effort to follow through in that promise.

Are Apple and Tesla building their own foundries or outsourcing?

There’s a huge technological leap between s tiny laser-propelled fly-by probe and a ship full of humans stopping in that system to settle.

And then you find that people are buying Apple specifically because Apple does all this stuff to control the iOS app marketplace. The whole point of a walled garden is that it’s walled, and you don’t have to learn about gardening to enjoy i

Well, learn a new thing every day :D Let’s see what News February brings shall we? 5300 seems quite low given China’s size compared to, say, Australia. No doubt you will claim it is demand constrained, but that number looks like one boatloa

You are basing that on less than one month of sales after the factory just opened. Your claim is bogus, acknowledge that and be prepared to wait for figures for a complete month of Model 3 actually being available in that market. By Februar

Chinese Model 3 production only started in November. Check back in February, you’ll find it’s the highest selling vehicle (perhaps by model, though I am betting also by manufacturer). Europe-wide, Tesla Model 3 is top of the charts by a wid

There is plenty of evidence supporting positive correlation between parental incomes/wealth and the child’s success in academic and commercial endeavours, but little evidence either way relating to success at starting a new business. B

Tesla has already sold every car they can manufacture, and their entry price is $40k-ish in the USA. Other manufacturers are limiting how many BEVs they produce, and still managing to sell most of the ones they build even though they are un

Counsellors aren’t generally challenged about their inability to perform tasks outside their specialisation. It is a mistake to assume that all humans can develop good people skills with the same amount of time dedicated to training.

Quite the oversight for someone wanting TV manufacturers to lift their game huh :D

This is just a rehash of the same issue we have had for millenia: people trained in certain ways of doing things will try doing everything that way. Engineers, doctors and accountants are often pilloried for their lack of people skills, yet

Places that were burned off in hazard reduction burns a few months ago are burning again. Forest management meant nothing to this fire, it was consuming stuff that was already burned. Blackened dead trees were erupting into flame. The dirt

Almost entirely because of rooftop solar. Contractors doing lots of small jobs end up cutting corners including foregoing safety gear (“how much is a fall from a roof going to hurt anyway”) and the inevitable death-per-thousand-installs bas

Can you illuminate me as to how I am “using the term fact so casually”? The facts in this case are easy to discern: they are numbers reported by NSW Police. The basis for those numbers is irrelevant: the only fact here is a media release fr

If you include any Murdoch property in that list, you need to revisit your list.

How do you know the whacko is telling the truth this time? Only because you already know the facts from reliable sources. So given you already knew the facts in order to ascertain that the whacko was telling the truth, why are you bothering

A STOPPED clock is correct twice a day, as long as you already know what the time is you can tell that the clock is right at this time. A broken clock will always be wrong. Even if you already know what the time it, the fact that the broken

Less than 1%, the rest is actual bushfires. The area burned so far is larger than most European countries. Entire towns have been razed, breeding grounds for various animals are destroyed and the fire in Kangaroo Island decimated the popula

Being interested in something makes it “of interest” to you. For something to be “in your interest” we mean “for your health and well-being.” In this case, there is no reason that a person’s involvement in porn is of any interest to the chi

There’s no nuance about it, the rising prices are the result of reduced supply capacity and a well established triopoly gaming the market bidding and pricing rules. The 100MW capacity Hornsdale Power Reserve effectively capped the market to

Thermodynamics: the energy produced by the engine comes from forming CO2 and heat in the first place. Capturing 90% of it without using all the energy produced by the combustion doesn’t make sense, it defies the laws of physics because entr

Capturing 90% of the CO2 is a nonsense claim.
