>The brand getting the most buzz in the car industry is Tesla Nope, It’s nowhere near that. The fact that tech media writes a lot about a car manufacturer doesn’t make it the most …

That's clearly for customers who are carrying captives in their jets.

I'm not going to criticize that particular aircraft, no. I respect the effort it took to get it up in the air. But everyone is building an electric, pilotless vehicle for ride shar…

Here is a thing about Robinhood: it does advertising in ineligible countries, apps are allowed to be downloaded, profiles must be filled in down to the last field and only then the…

And I remember someone was selling t-shirts with that string!

“People only post what they want you to see, so it can seem like their life is better than yours.” Not mention how often these displays of a better person/better life are exaggerat…

No, I'm only saying this calibration QA has no readable source code to work with. And there are ways to obscure some parts of the ECU behaviour.

Except, they don't work with actual source code. An engineering team responsible for adaptation for certain market, most likely works in calibration space, that's it, just data (fl…

Ok, thanks for explaining.

I'm sorry if it's dumb question, but how could one perform dictionary attack without having access to the hash table? From the login page? Unlikely, it will lock itself after a few…

I don't get lip-syncing part of it. Their website says it's "musical.ly is a social media platform for creating and sharing short videos." I think this abstract "short" word explai…

It also has a lot to do with "being born into context" [0] of money. I can imagine kids observing good skills (like money management or business communication) of their parents wil…

Which gen Miata? IIRC NA had something like 5.5x14" wheels which are tiny. But if we look at bigger production car wheels even modest 8x18" could weigh > 30lbs. Second, (unsprung m…

Large outrunner motors like Emrax aren't much heavier than typical cast alloy wheels. Assuming wheel-motor eliminates disc brake components (sounds scary, right?) assembly will pro…

Surprised to see that of all motorcycles only HD Electra Glide made it to the top 250 vehicles.

We need small cross section tube transport for last mile delivery. Fully automated, so we can call it "Internet for transporting physical objects". Or even "Hyperloop for parcels",…

I'd assume they had a (small) pool of candidates to start with and finding the author of texts in the group of authors is very far from identifying every person on Earth by linguis…

Never saw a separate fuel flow sensor in an automotive application, but fuel injector is technically an orifice flow meter in this calculation method (pressure differential is cons…

When I was reverse engineering car ECUs, one of the interesting little projects was finding fuel consumption display calibration data and calculation algorithm, on 2008+ Subarus. A…

Probably 2nd bomb tactic was something unheard of back then

It should be possible to print those meshes without converting curves to tubes, because, obviously, any form of additive manufacturing gives non-zero line thickness. I mean not out…

I thought gold teeth were so Soviet/Eastern European thing at the time, that it should be an immediate giveaway of woman's origin.
