The issue is that currently the M416 is the best weapon in the game. Need to clear a house? M416. See a couple guys running down the street? M416. Need to plink somebody from a hilltop? M416 with a 4x. The only reason people aren’t running an M416 is if they haven’t found an M416, and even then they’re probably…

4th: I like the idea if not the implementation. So to buy gas I need to pre-plan where I intend to stop, generate a code, remember that code (since it’ll be on the infotainment screen and I can’t take it with me), and type it into a pump before I can get my gas? Seems like a lot of work for little to no benefit.

Probably a bug in the PNG image processing code allows for a buffer overflow. If a process can write to memory outside of its allocated space and trick the computer to jump to the memory location where it just wrote data, that process can take over your entire computer (a.k.a. arbitrary code execution).

Why is 87 suddenly the line in the sand though? In the late 40s, 79 Octane was standard, in the 50s saw 86 Octane as regular and 100 Octane as super premium. In the early 60s 90 Octane regular and 99 Octane premium were standard, but sub-regular products were offered as well (such as Gulftane), and by ‘62 regular was…

New cars are required to have a backup camera, which means they’ll need a display somewhere in the car anyway. Why wouldn’t they integrate some value-added features into a screen that has to be there anyway?

Incomplete information can be manipulated to tell a story that benefits one party or another. Look at how many people are convinced that the driver is completely to blame after Tesla made the statement that his hands were off the wheel for 6 seconds. Will those people reevaluate their beliefs that Tesla did nothing…

Or, just put a table near the end of the conveyor belt. You can pick up your bins, find an empty spot on the table, sort yourself out, and then put the empty bins on the return pile. Bonus points if the airport uses the new scanners that automatically return and stage the bins at the entrance to do away with the…

At the end of the day, it seems like a person didn’t follow the rules of running autopilot (have your hands on the wheel to take control at any moment) and paid for it with their life.

Tesla has released their interpretation of a single piece of evidence. By releasing their statement prematurely they’ve already shaped the public opinion regarding this accident which may cause the public to ignore the NTSB’s investigation and recommendations. The investigation is meant to examine all of the evidence…

“Whaddya mean we need to let the investigation take its course and come to its own conclusion rather than trying to shape the online discussion ASAP? If we don’t get our talking points out there then somebody else may decide how this accident is perceived!”

There’s always the threat of incompetent operators. If a drone was flying too low because someone wanted a shot of the cars driving towards the camera, it could result in a car striking a 1kg drone at 300+ km/h and scattering debris all over the track causing a lot of other cars (all traveling at 300+ km/h) to…

Slight correction, but ‘Strategos of Yebu’ is likely a title, not a name. In Ptolemaic Greece, a Strategos was either a military rank equivalent to a modern General or the head of a provincial administration.

I’d guess that it was deliberately set that way to exclude Canadian factories or break unions while giving the negotiators plausible deniability. Minimum wage in Ontario is already $14, and given how long most of the auto part plants have been open I wouldn’t be surprised if some shops (especially the unionized ones)…

To add to this discussion, the only way to advance in Far Cry 5 is by planning your actions. The only way to unlock new abilities is by using Perk Points, and one of the fastest ways to earn Perk Points is by completing challenges. For challenges like the Death From Above, Death From Below, Sabotage Kills, or Chain…

That would also be nearly impossible to control, as you’d see a lot of:

If people operated Tesla’s autopilot in the same manner as airplane autopilots, they would never turn them on unless they were on a deserted stretch of highway miles away from any traffic or obstructions.

Commercial pilots also activate autopilot in environments where they’re thousands of vertical feet or at least 3 lateral miles away from a potential collision. I’m sure if a pilot activated the autopilot in an environment where the plane was within seconds of colliding with another aircraft the FAA would be on their…

4.1L rotary diesel turbine powered golf carts for everyone!

Honestly I associate those over-the-top set pieces with the introduction of Hobbes (Johnson). The first 4 movies were ‘believable’ (if over the top) stories about a gang of street racers, as was the first half of 5, but from 6 onward it felt like the gang was just being dragged around the world to fight Bond villains…

Can anybody think of what cars are excluded from tariffs using the provided metrics? It looks like nearly everything from 1.5L to 4L for standard combustion cars, and 1L to 4L for PHEVs, is captured, but then there’s number 26:
