The NTSB’s report of the fatal Uber crash already takes L2 systems to task, but for whatever reason (lobbyists+$$$) there has been no willingness to regulate.

Hopefully, knowing the outcome shouldn’t affect your enjoyment of the race. It’s a fun one!

Too bad. Those other people should realize it’s not their fault and move on. You can’t control the Universe; you can only control your reactions.

Is this a Seinfeld setup? :-)

- Sensor breaks, locks out the ignition until the car is towed to a service center

The problem is, these idiots are then used to enact all sorts of unrelated anti-motorist laws in the name of safety because “so many people are dying on our roads.”

Gotta love the Bayview.

There's a great McDonald's right next door, but no 7-Eleven.

Interesting factoid: TSA only manages the checkpoints from the document checkers through the end of the screening process - they don’t control the queues themselves at all. That’s why private companies like CLEAR can do what they do. It’s also why airports like Sea-Tac were able to implement virtual queuing during the…

Yep - a lot of travel bloggers have already covered this in detail, so I feel like putting this relatively uninformed article out into the ether is unnecessary at best and harmful at worst.

Yep. 1F at ORD T1, for example. :-)

I’m guessing this person is talking about Global Entry or other expedited entry programs.

Gotta know the tricks. Flying internationally? Go to a domestic checkpoint. Flying domestic? Go to an International Terminal checkpoint. (If you can.)

Only when returning. But definitely sign up for Germany’s version - it’s called EasyPASS RTP and it’s 100% free. You fill out a form online, then go into one of their enrollment centers and complete the process. It takes about five minutes - and it was actually harder to find the right office in the Frankfurt Airport…

• Unlike PreCheck, you won’t be randomly selected for additional security screening.

I’m not necessarily trying to “sell” you. I’m just sharing the view of a fellow citizen on nuclear power while trying to cut through some of the misinformation which turns people off so immediately. It sounds like you are more informed than most, but it still seems like you want to judge the present condition based on…

The reason why most current reactors aren’t breeders is because they’re 30 years old. It’s analogous to observing that an MG Midget doesn’t have a catalytic converter - true, but just a function of time.

That’s more of a time-of-day arbitrage issue because electricity doesn’t store well. Same as last year when the price of oil briefly dropped below zero. It’s not really a surplus, it’s just an, “I have this stuff and somebody needs to take it right now” sort of thing. Batteries will help, but they'll just bring things…

Yep, the layers of safety worked. Partial meltdown, no loss of containment.

No system worth its salt is susceptible to a single point of failure. The only full meltdown that’s happened at a nuclear plant was Chernobyl, which used a very primitive design which did allow a couple of mistakes to cascade into a full containment-loss meltdown.
