Defeating a speed limiter is extremely easy. It's done all the time on German cars, which are sold with a 250 km/h limiter, usually for racing purposes.

It's reasonable enough to make any higher limit unreasonable, while still being high enough for fast drivers. German cars are usually limited to 250 km/h. With this new, still high limit from Volvo, the German manufacturers now ha

Surely both the Civiv Type R and the NSX do, although I don't see those two models using the standard instrumentation.

No no, subcompacts are bigger than that. An electric car made to comply with kei car regulations is the Mitshubishi I-miev / Citroen C-Zero, which is 3.50m long and less than 1.50m wide. This compromises the whole car. Having driven it

It's a shame there's no love for small cars in America. Renault-Nissan applied the lessons learned with the Leaf to a subcompact, the Renault Zoe, and it's a great car.

Not really. The paper in a Tetra Pak is easily separated and recycled. The tricky part is separating the plastic layer from the aluminium. There are Chinese recycling factories that manage it with a chemical bath. A Spanish company also man

The difference lies on the metropolitan area. The New York area is surely more populated than in WW2, even if Manhattan isn't.

This is also how Tokyo does it. There's no main, well-defined downtown where people go to work. Spreading the commutes across the whole transport network is a tremendous optimization.

It does, but the material is still carbon-negative, the article says. In any case, anything is better than concrete.

Going from an old MBP to one of the new models is shocking. The display is a bit better, but the keyboard feel is not comfortable. It doesn't feel like a keyboard to spend hours in.

While those examples may not be pure Rails apps anymore, it was the way they started. Rails was essential in making all those startups succeed and grow massively.

Capability + intent is what counts in this case. They intend to deploy countermeasures targeting a minuscule percentage of people, but every user will probably feel the consequences. This, plus the fact that they are willing to serve JS fro

Surely the capability to deliver JS is still there, even if you're a premium user. This is worrying.

You could also press a certain button on the keyboard (I don't remember which) to ensure no boot sound is played. I'm not sure if this feature is still there.

Please, don't equate taxes to a complete nationalization of nearly all industries plus a ban on all monetary transactions save a few whitelisted types. It's an absurd comparison that does nothing to further the current discussion.

Psychological techniques tend to work no matter whether we are aware of them or not. Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, fast and slow" explains why this happens, with lots of examples. It's a great read.

Reddit is not a single entity, it is a clustered social network. The small part of it that supported Trump managed to create and empower a meme machine that is still going strong. Subreddits are like thinktanks. They are the perfect breedin

Far-right communities would be alright if they could be hate-free. They usually have a hard time doing that.

Reddit played a big part in the 2016 USA elections that crowned Trump. Reddit had to change its front page algorithm to avoid having Trump content near the top of the page for almost the whole time. The subreddit in question organized itsel

/r/the_donald should have been closed a long time ago, due to their users and their mods breaking the rules (hate speech encouragement, mainly) that the rest of subreddits have to respect. Reddit has a dark incentive to keep it op

In 1-based arrays the number is an index, but in 0-based arrays it is an offset. Languages like C or Rust make this behavior very explicit.

That zergling video depends on a zero reaction time, it's true that's an advantage of AI. No matter how high the APM, if the reaction time is high enough, some things just cannot be done. Perfect micro against siege tanks is impos

Reaction time is the real difference in this video. A human can't react to the twitch of the siege tank cannon that happens just an instant before the shot lands, we treat it as something that happens instantly and thus, we can't
