It seems they utilize it (from what I could gather from the video) much more than German automakers. German companies are hesitant to push the automation boundary, at least at home, since it means lowering human jobs. They won't ever f

This happened to my mom after her first promotion in the US Air Force. They forgot to increase her pay with the promotion. So they set it to the correct one. Unfortunately, when they fixed it, they locked in that pay grade for 12 years. It

And this right here invalidates the article's conclusion, the simple number of iPhone tweets overwhelms the Android tweets. The map just shows who is more chatty, versus actual income disparity. As a side note, I do find the map very i

Or you can tell where university students are. Checking Atlanta, GA, you can see where Spellman college and Georgia Tech are. Check Seattle, WA, and you can see very clearly where UW is. Also, in Savannah, GA, you can look and you'll s

The graphics in this are not very helpful, inconsistent and in some cases wrong. Your 3-d size/cpu/memory was impossible to read, there was no origin. Secondly, the intended uses and paradigms were wrong. Lisp can do object-oriented program

One thing to add is that the physics for tire simulation are are just as complicated, if not more, than all the other physics. And incorrect tire simulations can give you some odd behavior. Very good article though. The Pacejka magic formul

Yes, and Apple had to completely reinvent itself to get to the point where it is now. Apple then and Apple now are two very different companies.

If he really wants to get serious, look at movie ratings and what is shown on TV not video games. TV pervades more houses and influences from an earlier age than video games. If being exposed to violent media is the hypothesis, limit the am

This is not the movie you think it will be and I think most people give it a cursory lookover and think it's a generic horror film. It is more than just a cheap horror film and definitely worth watching.
