So at a quick glance, it looks like it completely disregards the analysis that Colorado’s skiing tourism that rakes in billions would disappear with that level of change in those same lovely dark green areas across the Rocky Mountains. So, in other words, you are all unemployed now, but hey, look on the bright side,…

Well, if the guy has a smartphone, it automatically tracked his locations. Google Location History or Apple Location History both will pinpoint where he paused at what times during the evening. Do I still get the grand?

You are forgetting that a decent chunk of rental cars are used for business. Road warriors sure as heck do not care about the “fun” option of driving in packed rush hour traffic in cities we don’t know. We need to get to our client and then get back to the airport. I use Lyft/Uber where I can specifically for that…

The term AutoPilot has always been used for a system that maintains course and heading. It wasn’t until well after the term was in use that planes could actually perform landing maneuvers. Tesla used it correctly based on context and can’t help the fact that normal folks get the wrong idea about what that term means.…

And if you’re like most of us that were impacted by the Office of Personnel Management hack, the complete details of your clearance files are currently floating around the web. I think I invented a few new curse words when I ran into my own data package on a hacker data dump.

I’m looking forward to an episode where Clarkson and May have a competition to build the best wheelchair accessible car and force Hammond to test drive them through an obstacle course. Maybe May will reuse his stone house car?

So, how exactly is it CCTV footage if the video pans slightly to follow the car?

There’s different drones for that, but yeah, folks are working on that issue as well.

I’m not sure this is the right audience for a true SSO conversation as it’s typically hard enough for experts in enterprise to get it. SSO is not a conversation about SSO vs password managers - they can actually be used in conjunction. SSO is about having a layer that you can consistently control between every device…

A company in San Francisco (Marble) is already testing rolling autonomous bots for delivery. I’ve heard it described as a lock box on wheels with a dumper mechanism once it finds the right porch.

You realize the side effect of folks carrying more cash is usually more muggings right?

The author has been interviewed on this several times, the deal with the game rights was an mistake in his opinion. He needed money in the short term and didn’t really think they could pull off any sort of successful game so he sold it dirt cheap for upfront cash. He’s since recognized that was a screw up of massive…

I too had a stock XJ end up with death wobble - terrifying stuff. If your mechanic diagnosed and fixed the issue, he’s one of the good ones. Given the fact it can be any number of about 10-15 issues that make it appear, most mechanics shotgun replace any number of things before they get it resolved. You can easily…

[edit, I just caught that this is a particularly old post, with no replies, either way, the comments below are useful to future folks seeing it since the company has reformulated the product discussed]

It’s less about franchising and more about a massive shift towards mergers and acquisitions. A company on that list will buy random established venues, give it a minimal signage makeover and a new employee handbook and it’s now part of the brand. It usually takes until the old management rolls out and the location…

I think their shift in focus it simply matching that American culture has become drastically more political. They are just building articles that cater to what folks are expressing passion and interest in. That doesn’t mean it’s not exhausting, but they aren’t operating in a bubble, it’s a reflection of the readership…

I use that too, but be aware that using HTTPS does not hide most of your traffic from analysis. ISPs can still extract every URL you were visiting. It does hide the individual text in that transaction, such as your banking info, but for browser utilization data, they can just download the same URL, see what was on it…

To give a little credence to the fact the early DSMs still bring in the hard currency, I sold my 1990 Talon Tsi with 74K miles a year ago for 7,500 (way over bluebook). Granted, it was almost as clean, but had way more options (standard, leather, moonroof), and had right under 500 hp of mods with dyno results backing…

I wonder how long this approach will / would take to be accepted? I had all four of my wisdom teeth fully in with no issues, but ended up with a moderate cavity on one. After checking with four dentists, none would simply fix a cavity, instead insisting that all four had to come out. Ended up costing $3,400 and since…

I completely agree with the tone deaf messaging. That said, I did see the ending play out and it does address the power vacuum and futility of the shoot things to solve the world approach. Not quite as offensive as The Division thankfully but it had an opportunity to do so much better.
