For simple and slow communication busses on hobbyist boards, sure it probably doesn't matter. But I really can't trust this very superficial attempt to prove a negative with regards to a very complex phenomenon that I do not think

Think about the different user bases and sources of revenue. If google screws up, they might see a small blip in add revenue before recovering. If Protonmail screws up, then they'll lose paying customers which is their only source (pre

The problem is the glue. When the glue melts (which it does at a much lower temperature than wood burns), the structural integrity is lost. Firefighters do not enter new construction homes in the US because they often use these as floor joi

> it was accurate to within a pound of my actual weight That is extremely surprising to me. I've worked (and do work) in the auto industry and didn't think that anyone would pay for such an accurate weight measurement.

The problem is really this: > all possible unsafe inputs are guaranteed to be found A sound system can reject all programs and still be sound. Therefore, it does not follow that all possible unsafe inputs are guaranteed to be found. In m

This is all FUD with zero data backing it up. The article makes it sound like there is accurate weight sensors in the vehicle, which is ridiculous. One might be able to derive some number from vehicle performance information, but I'd
