The trolley problem, as it applies to self-driving cars, is philosophical masturbation at best and luddite fearmongering at worst. The fact of the matter is that real self-driving cars (read: not Tesla’s half-assed implementations) will be monitoring literally everything around you constantly, and the likelihood of…

What’s most upsetting is this makes complete sense to me. HIRE AN ARCHITECT!!

It’s not common but it’s out there, and I would think it’s more likely to occur in counties with unincorporated areas. I have never filed in a jurisdiction like that, but I consulted on a viability study for a parcel in CT where the municipality said that owners were solely responsible for adhering to zoning and code…

I read it. It’s a really good opinion and I’m glad to see a good judge sits somewhere. It’s doesn’t say this, but it backs up that idea that “good fences make good neighbors”. The neighbors could build a fence, or put in a dense hedge to baffle any noise for a fraction of legal fees. Lawyers are always the most…

Dear Mr. DeMuro.......

My name isn’t Evelyn. It’s Eve.

I guess, haha. I didn’t come up with it. But this settlement is using the day the news broke as the starting point, so it is only fair to include that person as well as the current owner, also no real way to verify other owners easily and once you get past 2 it starts to get messy as all hell. I think that since you…

So, we have a system where the person who doesn’t own the car anymore is waiting on someone else to determine if they get a payout or not? Sounds like a german solution.

What a cluster fuck.
Can someone tell me if i’m doing this right?

That money was spent on streusel instead.

Who said its complicated? Its just simple German engineering...i mean german finance 101

lazy millennial.

Jesus christ. Tables? Someone (VW) should be publishing a god damned application to take care of those calculations for you.

Hi, Kate - shouldn’t you be on Jezebel? This is Gizmodo, thinly veiling feminist agenda shouldn’t really belong here should it?

Also ‘Abortion Drone is the Best Drone’? Revolting.

$100 million is a joke, if I had that much money to waste on a single place to live I would get something more humble & use the rest to help out needy people like the mentally handicapped & those who are in unfortunate circumstances.

Yeah, no. GIMP is better AND not ridiculously priced.

This is my favorite 8-bit painting.

No. Or actually, it depends. Depends on what kind of noise it is: highs, lows, voices, footsteps. It also depends how the noise is coming in. Hanging these on your wall won't help if the sound in coming through the floor or the window or the ceiling. The hvac system might be carrying sounds through. Footsteps from…

Interesting that you can't find anything like this anywhere. I'd really like something like this, but $200 is a bit high.
