> Driving is safer on a per-trip basis. You can’t make this blanket statement and I would bet on average it’s the opposite still. - Flying in the US is on average ~750x safer per m…

Some caveats for others who don't want to read the study. 1. This is a study done on rats and is only a single study, so caveat emptor. 2. They administer 250mg/kg/d Aspartame (hum…

I don't think they even plot the tag numbers on any scale. It looks from the graph like it's just graphing the "rank" (but actually inverse rank), so they sort the languages by # o…

I should have clarified I'm not picking on the Model Y in particular because I think it's a perfectly reasonably sized car and I agree it's much safer than most full-size trucks, i…

If we're talking cars hitting you at 80mph, sure you're probably dead no matter what. But a 9,000 lb car hitting you at 35mph is traveling with the same momentum as a 3,000 lb car …

Hah, no kidding. It's undoubtedly a massive feat of engineering, but so are a lot of things that don't belong on our roads. I'd much rather live with the vast majority of smaller c…

If you're looking for recommendations, one option is the XC40 Recharge, which comes in at 175". But I agree they are getting so unnecessarily long. Not just in the car length, but …

The US government was also largely responsible for incentivizing the supersizing of American cars with emissions standards based on footprint (road to hell paved with good intentio…

I am a little afraid of the long-term safety implications of people driving these massive (literally by mass, not volume) EVs. As if being a pedestrian, biker, or small-car driver …

Not GP, but the Tundra is enormous compared to a Tacoma for someone coming from a car and not used to a full-size. I was also considering a Tundra since the model refresh, but even…

You’re totally right, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard RCV being called more consensus-oriented. Just that it makes it less harmful for third party candidates to participate in el…

A commenter on the thread mentioned the VMWare price hikes, so it could be as simple as IBM sensing an opportunity to poach customers from VMWare (probably more overlap in potentia…

FWIW, when I last bought a Pixel phone through Fi (first gen Pixel), you got support through Fi for your device and not through the Google store. Fi’s support at the time was much …

I just gave it a shot and it doesn't seem to work. Thanks for the tip though!

Unfortunately 1Password doesn't work. Not because of extension compatibility but seemingly because 1Password has an internal whitelist of trusted browsers that Orion is not include…

In the case of Medicaid funding, I thought the outcome of that case was that the Federal government couldn't threaten existing Medicare funding but it was allowable that any future…

This seems a little naive considering Congress has found plenty of ways to coerce states into implementing laws (national speed limit which was later repealed, national drinking ag…

That would be a great way to solve this issue if LinkedIn cares about users’ privacy. Otherwise I’m afraid they go the Pinterest or Quora route and just gate even “public” info beh…

I honestly have no idea because I haven't done (nor do I plan to do as I don't live in California anymore) enough research to have an informed opinion on the topic. However, I thin…

It's not that they published a paper without any Black co-authors. There has been a controversial push in California to reform public school math education guidelines called the Ca…

Similar tool for macOS that also controls built-in displays and Apple monitors: https://github.com/MonitorControl/MonitorControl Not aware of a similarly polished GUI tool on linux…

Thank you for posting this! Definitely had some concern about the IndexedDB leak, so good to know the new release is out (and has a fix for the issue) so I can update ASAP.

Fastmail also supports subdomain addressing for your own domains so that if your email is user123@yourdomain.tld you can use whatever@user123.yourdomain.tld rather than user123+wha…
