Yeah, for real. Does someone have the tl;dr version?

As far as I know, only one is awaiting trial because he was brazen enough to think he wouldn't be arrested, and the rest that are indicted are not within reach of the law.

It's still a slap on the wrist either way. They aren't going out of buisiness any time soon because of this. These companies do things we send average people to jail for, on a regular basis ( https://www.justice.gov&#x2

Amazing. If you get caught with so much as a non-stock air filter on your car, you can get hauled into criminal court (at least in California). If the car maker actively conspires with ill intent, to cheat the test, all they need to do is

>Same statement was made about Japan in the 1980s, and look at them now. What, look at the fact Japanese cars out-sell American ones three decades later (~12% vs ~19.6%)? American car makers were even trying to copy their methods in the

It's a reality. The nickel smelting operation in Norilsk, Russia is so polluting that you can mine the topsoil downwind of the smelter feasibly: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/12/world/europe/12

Porter Ranch and most of the area in the northwest area of the valley is pretty green.

The danger of leaving a kid in the car is heat if it's warm outside. That may or may not have been a reasonable concern based on the circumstances.

Oh, that's a much better version! Thank you. I thought I linked to the text-only google cache, but perhaps not.

Quite impressive. You know your blog is good when folks will try to take down a CDN to supress what's on it. He's also had heroin mailed to him in combination with a swatting attempt before: http://webcache.googleuserco

Funny to see something like this here. I went with my dad on some airplane wreck hunts when I was younger, though none quite as epic as this one. You'd really be surprised how complete some of these plane wrecks are if they are hard to

Actually, yeah. They added them on Foothill Blvd in Tujunga a while back. I seriously have never seen anyone ride a bike in one, and I drive around there at least weekly. Vineland between Lankershim and the 101 is also a good example, but t

Very true. I also hope all of this finds some sort of equitable way to de-sprawl somewhat. Transit in LA does have such an interesting history of missteps. Can you imagine what things might be like if they never got rid of the red car syste

by parshimers 10y ago
I would say the main deterrent to riding a bike in LA is the fact the city is not dense, not the lack of bike lanes. Very few folks can afford to live anywhere close to where they work in LA. I don't know how one would solve that fairl

The new trains and stuff are nice. Some of the other aspects of this "Mobility Plan" are really annoying. The main one I dislike is how some already incredibly busy streets have had a whole lane sliced out for a bike lane. It&#x27

I wonder how they found something so small and far out. It's almost like something wanted us to discover it ;) "Their main immediate abode is a still undiscovered and almost lightless planet at the very edge of our solar system—be

This is just an educated guess, but it could be an issue with the on-disk record formats. A quick look here: https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat2.html shows that variable length types like BLOB and TEXT are denoted by a type

That's actually super handy. Next time I have to add someone to a shell account, I'll probably just look them up on GitHub first to find their public key instead of asking.

They are very useful in log structured merge tree (LSM) based storage. HBase uses them, for example. The idea is to have a bloom filter as part of each on-disk component, so that one can look at the bloom filter first- and then only bother

Docker is really great for developing things IMO. I use it in a few ways actually. One thing I've found it really useful for is isolating build slaves in Jenkins (using the docker-cloud plugin in Jenkins). I also like to use it to crea
