After reading the article, I think the non-clickbait title should be "Most drivers who own cars with built-in GPS systems _sometimes_ use phones for directions". I am pretty happy with my built-in system - it is fast, always on, i

If you don't mind me asking - how did you assert the quality of the picture? Did you use professional calibration or run some tests yourself?

I think OS X built-in setting work just like that. I.e. turn on automatic brightness, then move slider to make screen dimmer. I've just tried making the screen really dim, then pointed flashlight onto light sensor. The screen went supe

In my old washer this coupling will routinely break almost each year. After ten years I have mastered the replacement process (removing the case, turning machine upside down, and detaching the motor) in under 15 minutes. Pro tip: if you dec

I don't think Scion is a good example. They sold _exactly_ same cars under Toyota brand outside of NA market. The Scion brand was more about flat price and limited options. And now it is dead.

Yes, he glosses over that part. From the pictures it looks like he _and_ his dad built it in 40 days (and who knows how many hours per day). That's not free, and could easily add another $20K-$30K.

I think it makes a lot more sense to switch to electric car right now. But taxes contribute to more than 50% of the retail gas prices in Europe. So what would happen when majority of drivers switch to electric cars? How european governments

Check out Costco. Their brand is not only cheap, but one of the few that are real. The price went up since 2010, but it is still around $10/l. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/5-things-you-should-buy-at-costc...

At the extremes the effect on the weight is very predictable. Keeping everything else the same when you reduce your calorie intake to zero, you will reduce weight. Or increase your intake to 3 x recommended daily values and your weight will

Not just Internet. When I first saw this AAA billboard in FL, I thought it's a prank. But it is not, and it warns about one of the America's worst speed traps. Google Street view: https://goo.gl/VwIadH

So, instead of one app that sandboxes my FB usage, I would be using a different app (a separate browser) to do basically the same. It might work if Firefox is less of a battery hog then FB app.

But if you switch to the web app from the native app, now Facebook is tracking all your web usage.

If you buy into the "calories in/calories out" theory, there is no boomerang effect. Just don't eat more* than you burn. *) add individual adjustment (~10%?) based on your personal data.

I don't think scaling this "experiment" is a problem anymore. There are millions of people that use calorie counting apps and websites. Among them there must be plenty of people with consistent data. My personal anecdata: I h

Brasil is another country that makes commercial planes. They (and Canada) are much bigger internationally then Russia. And they are pretty successful with Embraer even though they did not have any prior reputation.

I don't agree with you that number of orders is irrelevant. It at the minimum is an indicator of administration policies. As for your examples, I am not a constitutional scholar, neither is you. Right now they are just your opinions. F

Ok, I took a cursory look and I see that he uses executive orders less often than any other president (normalized per term served). As for the first sentence, what are the examples of his orders that are shredding the constitution? Does SCO
