That is true, but if it's a 2002 model and this first happened now, I perceived it to be a low-probability event. I don't mean to downplay the seriousness of this bug, I'm just saying it doesn't have as catastrophic impl

Thanks, that turns this from a very serious concern to a much smaller one. I thought it was a Tesla that somehow completely failed to see a pedestrian and then to stop when it made contact, which would have terrible implications for the res

I'm a father of a two year old daughter. My friends and family have a bunch of kids similar age. We're in a progressive country where gender equality is good and most people are aware to not show bias and offer girls toy cars and

Taxes on regular people increases and the quality of services they provide decreases, precisely because of the tax-evading [0] behavior of the multinational corporations. [0]: If you feel the need to point out the difference between tax-a

You are describing a traditional online retailer. I agree there is probably nothing inherently 'wasteful' about drop-shipping, but it is just another middleman and so it 'wastes' money for the buyer/seller, but that

From a cursory glance it seems to me that SNCF's debts are due to them financing all of their infrastructure instead of the French state paying for it (directly, it of course is indirectly), and then the argument goes back to the curre

According to my belief system any mention of evolution is blasphemy so I can not answer this question.

I suspect the only way to develop a method that stops the onset of symptoms is to detect the symptoms really early and figure out what to do from there. Otherwise there is no way to distinguish between someone who never got cancer and someo

In a way, but the downside to the losing party is limited. Also in (at least some of) these systems, it is not an automatic order for the losing party to pay, the court can decide to order it or not. I don't think there really is any f

Thanks for the Wikipedia link. From the results of this exercise it seems it really was necessary, in order to avoid the same catastrophes on D-day itself. However the operation did alert the Nazis that something was up, and they apparentl

Oh ok, I'd heard about the emissions quota, but I always thought it wasn't a simple average of the offered range, but was surely weighted by sales.

I'm curious, how do the regulations incentivize making a model that they don't really need to sell much of?

I guess some is the key word. It makes sense to disallow charge backs for Kickstarters and such, because that whole premise is: You pay me a certain amount of money, and I'll try my best to get you something in return.

They have actually had one positive influence on my life. After having dealt with exactly what you described a few times, I learned that I don't need anything that's on Pinterest. If a search results returns a pinterest link, I ig

Speaking of walled gardens. There is probably no service in this world that I hate more, as a non-user, than Pinterest.

I read them to mean that the fact that no Dutch girl is doing it is indicative of exploitation. Dutch people generally have lots of opportunities that many other nationalities don't. It's impossible to look at someone and tell wit

If that were true it would be even more terrible. I did find it a bit hard to believe so I checked, and your claim seems to be based on a misunderstanding, according to https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/09/us&#x

I'm not completely informed of everything ICE does but I believe this is the agency that has been separating children from their parents, caging people for days (weeks?) on end in conditions where they can't even lie down, and eve

I think the example was that this law will not create such a scenario, in the way that previous rent control schemes have. The example given is of a 500% increase in rent, by definition no rent control law should make such an increase possi

Unfortunately there is way too much oil known today. Much of it will have to stay underground, if the worst climate catastrophes are to be averted.

But would you ever go and look at his repo? If it is the case that she didn't contribute the most complicated stuff, then I can assure you it is not the first time in history that the face of a project is not the one that did the harde

On an extremely tangential note: If you need some fun, short shows to relax, watch White Gold on Netflix. Stratego plays a small part in the second series.

Yes I probably wasn't as clear as I should have, that of course 'race' is very loosely defined. But it's not just completely made up is my point. Saying it is completely a cultural construct is just plain wrong, and as s

This is just plain wrong on all levels. Sure, racists are interested in race and everything related to it because they feel they are superior, and conveniently disregard the things that don't support them being superior. But race is
