That is a good one. I should add to that, and this may be contriversal, that riding slightly faster than traffic is better than riding slightly slower. When I am approaching traffi…

A few tips from a long-time motorcycle rider... 1. When crossing a car that could potentially accelerate into your path, train yourself to keep a hand on your front brake. 2. Get b…

The article must be misleading. Android would never have the latency or reliability to run things like traction control and fuel management. The engineers at auto companies are wel…

I wholeheartedly disagree that automotive progress, on the mechanical side, has slowed down. The ride quality, handling, fit and finish, noise & vibe, chassis rigidity, fuel econom…

This article makes me feel a little better about my life decisions. I started programming at age 12, but as my major I chose mechanical engineering because at the time, there was a…

I don't understand this argument. What does the population of the country have to do with anything? Shouldn't a country with a larger population have more power to make competitive…

Wow, Chrysler has made quite the turn-around, I just noticed from that chart. 10 years ago, I expected them to be out of business by now with their low reliability (which I believe…

I bought a 90's car a few months ago - low mileage dependable Japanese car, nearly bare bones except for air conditioning and airbags (which were both optional equipment). In avera…

Not sure what country you are in, but that's called civic duty, and helps society work.

Just as we shouldn't make the assumption that fat people are lazy and gluttonous, we shouldn't make the assumption that skinny people have an eating disorder.

Users who block ads often justify their "free lunch" because of the nefarious things that advertisers do - namely tracking and being a resource hog in their device. Sponsored segme…

I'm not sure how power was shared between the Koch brothers, but who fills in this power vacuum of a person who probably had more influence over the US than any president? I'm sure…

First of all, humans are the only sentient beings in the known universe. Second, most humans have children because that is maximizing their quality of life - it is a living organis…

I don't believe for a second that buying a phone installed with HarmonyOS will ever be compelling to consumers. This is microkernel based, which makes me believe that it's not an A…

We are currently in "merger insanity". I'm wondering how many companies will be left before this ends?

No, I think stating that dark on dark is hard to see is just stating facts. As a former tattoo artist, I can tell you that the more pale, the better the tattoo and especially color…

We need to stop this culture of taking single sentences and vilifying people over them. People get tired, they get mad, temporarily confused, and can be good people 95% of the time…

Typical WSJ rubbish. Focus on anecdotes, like the guy who sacks over half of his staff because of a Having grown up solidly in the class of the "working poor", I can tell you a sid…

There is a Catch-22 in choosing to breed less, in order to be responsible. You are choosing to limit your genes, and in many respects limit your impact on our culture. Irresponsibi…

You need some mental help.

The foundation of the MS empire is MS Office. People use office at work because it's the path of least resistance, due to fewer conversion errors (no conversion when you are using …

Exactly why I would love to see this fail. I try to be a non-Facebook user, but everyone uses Messenger, and my local Craigslist has deteriorated because everyone sells on Facebook…

I'm a mechanical engineer who has been involved in the purchase of some industrial machinery. This is typical. You call the company, they will usually have a regional salesman come…

The Chinese credit system is a relationship of those in power controlling those without power. The relationship has no checks and balances, and therefore will only become more cont…

I really want Librem to succeed. I am willing to pay quite a bit more, for a less capable device, if it respects me as a user. So much performance that we have these days is just f…
