Why shouldn't it? Anyone can buy 500, 700, 1100hp, etc. RWD production cars and YouTube is covered in videos of people using them to cause destruction of property and injuries because they don't know what the car is going to do. T

From looking at the budgets from 2014[1], it's increasing. Also the "$150 million" cut figure is the difference between the council approved budget and the mayor's proposed budget, not the difference from the previous ye

State colleges can be cheaper, but they're not as cheap as they used to be in a lot of places. Many states cut back funding for their universities. "Overall state funding for public two- and four-year colleges in the school year e

Is that true? They aren’t required to sell you a car. I think they could require you to use their preferred lender as a condition of selling the car to you.

I don’t think that everyone who disagrees with the public policies are spreading misinformation. I also don’t think that the people making the restrictive policies are acting in bad faith, or without reasonable advisement, or are just stupi

I guess my days as a paying customer of FastMail are coming to an end. I don’t expect to ever become a legitimate target of Australian law enforcement, but there is always abuse.

They did swap out all of the payment terminals, though. Just for ones without that functionality. However, I could believe that they selected the hardware because they were stuck with choices that were compatible with other systems. Kroger

I've been shopping at Kroger regularly for decades and my guess is that it might have something to do with the timing around their last major payment terminal upgrade. They upgraded before NFC payments were very popular but fairly clos

You could also fold down the rear seats and escape through the trunk (the seat folding latches are on the inside of the Model 3).

At least on my Model 3, the manual override is a literal handle that is easy enough to use that I have had unfamiliar passengers open the door with it accidentally more than once.

The story says they were delivering partial shipments of the tens-of-thousands of screws in their personal vehicles. And also, that they couldn't make as many screws as Apple wanted. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01

It wasn't so much evolved from OS 9 as copied; macOS is an evolution of NeXTSTEP/OpenStep, not the classic OS.

Wouldn’t they want to continue building them to some extent just so they don’t lose the institutional knowledge of how to build them? Or is the expectation that Starship will render it obsolete soon enough?

Hopefully some (many) people will take it to heart that Robinhood users are suckers. This wasn't "just" privacy violations or psychological manipulation with ads, this was Robinhood deciding what to do with YOUR money to cove
