The author seems to be overestimating what level 2 chargers actually do. They are really just switches that turn and off the electricity after you pay (and it verifies with the car). So his idea here of replacing all those complicated level

Google never had unlimited email space. They launched at 1GB (which seemed huge) and increased it over the years, but it was never unlimited.

If you register a trademark, you'll get multiple fake bills in the physical mail for hundreds of dollars to similarly record the trademark in various "registers." The fine print says it's not a bill but a solicitation, b

I'm curious who has a problem that this solves. You need to have line of sight to something very nearby. So you'd need to wire 10Gb Ethernet to the LiFi points. But then why not just use wired Ethernet?

Doesn't appear to be any particularly obvious reason this would be a big problem. Edit: Actually looks like they repainted the lines there in between Aug 2013 and Oct 2014 which makes it much more clear. Here's 2013: https:/

This is the fire hydrant in question: https://goo.gl/maps/5C983vRcHCW6Zaq5A Currently there's construction there so probably the fines are reduced.

It's not so much that you see a slightly different "down," but that space itself is changing such that the distance between e.g. your head and feet is (very) slightly altered.

Also space pressure difference is much less. A fuel tank might have just a few atmospheres inside, and of course a human pressure vessel will have a bit under 1 atmosphere inside, compared to the outside which is at ~0 atm. At 4000m, the ou

Autopilot is just fancy cruise control. How many crashes have there been with cruise control turned on? It's just a completely meaningless thing to even look at. How many crashes would there have been during those miles without autopil

They haven't. When Chrome flips the switch it will not work well there.

The secret here is they only investigate the things that support their narrative. In this article they actually explicitly stated they're looking to cover a specific list of negative things associated with the industry. They would not,

ProPublica definitely has a viewpoint though and I would not recommend treating them as neutral.

I was a loyal Netflix disk user for decades. I was in the habit of adding anything I heard of I wanted to watch to my queue; you could even add stuff that hadn't been released yet. I only finally cancelled it during the pandemic when I

It's really hard to place trades like this because there's so much counterparty risk and contagion from something like Binance collapsing is likely to make your ability to cash in on your bet difficult.

The license for this is pretty hilarious and it's something you should pretty obviously never accept or use under any circumstances.

They actually do know about all the loopholes you're using. Using a loophole isn't about changing how you file your taxes, it's changing how you live your life to be more tax-efficient.

I don't think that's at all what you should get out of Gattaca on discrimination. Rather, even in a world where you have people who are statistically overwhelmingly likely to be better in every way, the morally right thing to do i

As you can imagine considerable thought has been put into how to make convincing decoys and to detect them. The reason it's possible at all to do the decoys is that they are released in space during a coast phase, so they follow the sa

You're assuming that Google isn't keeping track of security bugs they forward to their vendors. Almost certainly they opened a ticket in a different system and tracked it there.
