    CA law says every autonomous car in testing needs to have an operator in charge, so technically all incidents are due to human error. Also: Uber is not listed in the CA DMV list of…

    I love F1, but driving on a closed track (or highways, for what matters) is many orders of magnitude easier than dealing with traffic, people, bikes, other drivers, etc. BMW create…

    If anybody is reading this and curious about Ketosis, I'd recommend Taubes book ( https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Fat-About/dp/0307474259 ). It's a great review of scientific stu…

    Yes, go have a finite number of board states, just 2.08168199382×10^170, just a bit over the 10^80 atoms in the universe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_and_mathematics

    Themes don't work; Windows Phone has two choices and a lot of developers simply support only of them.

    Apple could have told developers about this during WWDC, but didn't. My guess is Apple decided to do this last minute, after they saw the number of iOS7-only apps that developers w…

    If there was a bug in the old version that is not compatible with the latest, there was no way to fix it anyway. This change doesn't solve that issue, but it solves 99% of the case…

    Not only that, but they would also use a lot of technology that Tesla/SpaceX now has a lot of experience in: battery, eletric engines and turbines, the metal for the ski pads, etc.…

    He does mention luggage would be 1) handled by hyperloop employees 2) removed from the pod all at once to be handled at a different time. Probably more like these pods, which are m…
