They're trying to lobby and get regulations put into place that others won't be easily able to conform to so that they get some market lock-in. They're big enough to be able to conform to the 'rules' but newcomers w

The logistics of delivering support for one race car as opposed to three doesn't change too much. There's a certain set of specialty tools and equipment (also staff) that's required to support one car. Supporting two/th

I know what it was, but I won’t participate in naming and shaming. The dealership tried to fix it several times, and I don’t know if this is a systemic problem, or a single vehicle issue. Either way, I don’t trust the tech. It can be devel

Anecdotal, but I was riding with my friend on the highway (~70 mph) with absolutely nobody in front of us, and the automatic braking kicked in out of nowhere. Thankfully the one other person on the road that was a bit behind us swerved and

The wonderful part of this is that you get the choice. Choose where you live, who you have for healthcare, who you use for childcare/schooling. We have the opportunity to make that choice instead of having a bureaucracy making those ch

The best way to deal with them is to never engage with their sales team. Use what you need, don’t let them talk you into more. Every year, I get a barrage of phone calls and emails from them, and I actively choose to not engage. Pricing ha

It's like throttle/pedal mapping in a car. It's about the effective curve along time/position. Right now, it's super sensitive where a little signal does a lot right at the beginning. Stories rocket to the top beca

I feel that the curve needs to be adjusted to curb clickbait from trending to the top. There are a lot of stores that trend to number 1 in under an hour that end up disappearing completely from the front page, moving near the bottom, or fla

I'm well aware of how the editing process works. These changes are post publication... after the author's approval. Agatha Christie had no input regarding these changes.

I saw Fireball on the counter of a convenience store the other day and was somewhat confused. The state doesn't allow liquor sales in convenience stores, but does allow the sale of beer and malt liquor. That explains what was going on.
