> Who spends 10k/year on a car[?] The average new car buyer. The average payment on a new car is now $726 per this source (some sources have even higher numbers). That's about $8700 per year. That plus insurance, fuel, and main

Journalists normally report the charge as written in court documents. Washington state appears to have "vehicular homicide" defined as a specific offense, but not "vehicular manslaughter". It would not be more precise to

Mainly because of price. The #1 best selling laptop on Amazon right now has 8gb of ram, but it costs $299. People spending 2x or 3x the price of an entry-level laptop expect more.

Divided by four, right, so $12k? I would think the medical, rehab, lost wages/productivity, and disability costs of an average table saw hand injury would easily exceed $12k.

This is a reductionist view, but I believe that most people don't want to wear a computer that covers their eyes/face, and these headsets will always be a niche product. I don't know if the big tech companies truly believe th

I work for a retailer and we certainly do not use a third party insurer, and I don't see why any other consumer retailer selling inexpensive merchandise would use insurance. It is priced in. In fact, we use RFID tracking to know when g

I find it interesting that the top sellers are the most expensive models for Apple. Seems like this was not always the case. Another point is looking at their source for the top sellers [1], the top four are: 14 pro max, 14 pro, 14, and 13.

Safety issues aside... People say there's an inch here, a few decibels there, but after some time in both the experience in the MAX and the A32X are about the same to me. Both are crowded in economy, and both are loud if you sit in the

That's amazing. The section of track ( ahem proper Canadian railroad) is quite visible on Google maps and street view has a great shot of it[0]. It is VERY short indeed. [0] https://www.google.com/maps/@45.1583297

They don't know in advance how long the wait will be, and time that has already passed is a sunk cost, so they are stuck waiting "another couple of months" over and over again. There is a survivorship bias in this story becau

Apple is one of the most valuable companies in the world and statements by its CEO about the company's affairs are newsworthy. A message sent to >140,000 people is not private in any practical sense. Apple leadership knows this and

It is pretty cheap to get a setup that outperforms built-in laptop equipment. I have one of those knock-off 1080p webcams ($30-40) and it is more than enough for zoom. My lighting is a clamp light which reflects off of the wall behind my mo

That was certainly an interesting thing for him to say. My read is that the maintenance requirements of stealth aircraft are unavoidably high.
