This system was the first thing I turned off in my new (2024) car because it was triggered by road debris and almost got me rear-ended on the Interstate by a semi doing 75mph. This technology is too error prone to be mandatory. All I want

The Zip+4 last four digits align to delivery zones. It can be trivially constructed from the complete address now that we have reliable digital mapping systems, and in fact this is what happens internally in the postal system. It is not re

I make no claims or judgement either way. I just acknowledge that information asymmetry exists as do jurisdictional limits. It's not possible in this case for him to ever be fully vindicated due to the limits of the legal system, but

Does anyone ever recover fully from years of income loss? "Time in the market beats timing the market" and time is our most precious resource. It doesn't sound like this settlement (based on the attached court order) makes

To be exactly correct, he sued for defamation four (4) of the signatories of the open letter, because the open letter was the explicit call to action to cancel him. He can only file suit against persons within the jurisdiction of his home

No, what they mean is IQ/intelligence, just as they stated. Social class is part of the story, more so in the past than it is now, but it's not the entire story. High intelligence is a way out of upbringing and circumstances at

I also pay for Clear, and basically echo your take. My home airport has a separate like for Clear + Precheck, and basically only frequent travelers have both, so even though the line is sometimes longer it moves much faster. It's wor

For an article in a magazine called “The Economist” you would think they’d know that wealth is net worth based on capital assets and cash reserves, not your income. The fact that hourly wages are rising doesn’t matter because costs are als

Yes, you are likely reading that right. A standard installation charge for most broadband providers when you start service is somewhere between $100 and $250. That's when you already have everything in place and they just need to pro

A lot of hate in the comments here for Time Machine. Maybe some of that is justified, but I will say that I've been using Macs professionally since 2012 and while I do use other backup services also, there has never been a competing s
