It’s 2023 and driving kills like 40,000 people a year. We’ve been building trillions of dollars of public transit since about the same time as we started building the National highway system. So when exactly does public transit start saving

But if you make all those stops while my food gets cold, I’m definitely going to call support and reduce the tip!

> Concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere were as high as 4,000 ppm during the Cambrian period about 500 million years ago, and as low as 180 ppm during the Quaternary glaciation of the last two million years. So a range of 0.018% to 0

In the past I’ve found good hardware deals at the ServeTheHome “Deals” forum. They would link to the best eBay deals and provide hints for what price to offer. I haven’t bought used hardware in a while though, so not sure if it’s still a re

It’s a pithy conjecture, but I’m unconvinced. Technological progress like this is almost always made possible through middle and upper class investment in what start as luxury products. Capitalism drives the innovation cycle which brings sc

There’s nothing wrong with the concept of an insurance premium or even a deductible. The problem is the sheer magnitude of the cost. It’s an extraordinary sum of money to be paying out of pocket as an annual family expense for a non-discret

From your link; “Radar includes a rule to block any payments that fail the CVC verification check, which you can enable or disable within the Dashboard ( this doesn’t affect payments where the CVC check couldn’t be performed ).” Also; “…Sup

I don’t understand not checking CVV and Expiration Date at all… But for the other info, they could be carding for prepaid cards which have no name, address, or ZIP code to verify against?

Actually it wouldn’t be an advantage. It would be a huge sunk cost (and added weight bogging down performance and handling) for a feature that virtually never gets used. Tesla increases distance ideally by increasing efficiency. Their cars

Clinical trials are, I think always , free for the patient. The company developing the drug foots the bill.

Anyone else get the feeling that these rules are designed to be impossible to comply with? That companies will never be found to be in compliance, and fees (up to 6% of global revenue ) will be used as a way to massively tax this specific

There are specific regulations that carve-out ways to sell unregistered securities to accredited investors. For example, Rule 504 and 506 under "Regulation D", but they have limits on the amount raised ($10mm for 504) or limits on

"Simple" requests are sent without a OPTIONS preflight check. It's because old style forms could always do a cross-origin request, so you have to protect against it anyway. For the full definition of what is a "simple&qu

They really just can’t get out of their own way in screwing this stuff up… Resident keys allow the browser to query the secure element for a list of usernames for a domain. It’s a nice feature, but you have to setup the protocol to reliably

The article is just speculating on how to interpret log files. A forced disengagement of AutoPilot puts up a screaming red warning to “Take Control Immediately”, and I can definitely see that happening ahead of a crash. But Tesla is clear i

The sea level rise number sounds about right tho. ~8 trillion tons to raise the level an inch based on the simple math of surface area of a 24,000 mile diameter sphere, times 2/3rds water, as seen here: https://www.answers.c

I think you may be confused with how FSD works. FSD does not just disengage. For any of those reasons. If the FSD stack crashes , or if it is completely unable to track its position on the road, you will get a forced disengagement - a lo

I know nothing about “MOVEit” but somehow I already know that they suck at the teat of government RFPs to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, using an awe inspiring host of buzzwords, to deliver a total cesspool of close-sourced s

Tesla does provide crash statistics. Those stats used to be criticized on the basis that AutoPilot was driving predominantly highway miles and it’s safety record was being compared to overall driving crash statistics which have much more no

Crashes are included in the statistics, even if autopilot was disengaged immediately before.

Extremely vulnerable is a mischaracterization. Read up on how the CANBUS attack works, it’s actually quite sophisticated. It’s the “evil maid” problem, and it’s extremely difficult to protect against, such that you pay huge premiums to get
