As I mentioned to someone else, writing code for control systems and error handling is inherently wordy especially when it has to be able to prevent shutting down in as many fault cases as possible. It’s a lot easier to write lean code when you can handle a failure by simply printing a failure code.

They should’ve bought Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi already has most of the manufacturing equipment and design processes already in place.

Google and Apple should leave the physical design and manufacture to the actual automakers just like the actual automakers should have let Google and Apple create their infotainment suites years ago. This is a smart move.

And now let us pay tribute to the only good thing to come out of the EA/Porsche partnership

Patchwork of state regulations?

That’s a little inconvenient way to deal with what is, after all, a convenience feature.

It would be easy to design a fob-car scheme that wouldn’t be susceptible to MITM, since at the time the fob is originally paired with the car, a password could be exchanged that is never transmitted in the clear again, wouldn’t rely on certs. Using a nonce and a hashing function would be sufficient, you wouldn’t even…

I always thought that since most truck nut fanatics likely bought their truck to compensate / enhance their own genitalia, the truck itself represents a giant penis , and therefore the truck nuts are usually installed in the correct position at the base . In fact , I assumed the owner was just using the nuts to make…

This isn’t income tax, it’s sales tax, which is the same for everyone (unless you can avoid paying it). You or I can’t avoid paying sales tax because the cost of doing so would outweigh the benefit. I’m not about to lay out $500+ per Delaware Corp to build up a veil to avoid it, and no “normal” person would either. So…

You’re fucking kidding me, right? You have to pay taxes because it’s the law. And you know why you pay taxes? To pay for infrastructure. Like roads. Police. The fire department. Defense. The fucking military. If you make more, you pay more. That’s how the system is supposed to work. It’s not a fucking maze that only…

My dad has to do the same thing with his Shih Tzu. My Lab/Boxer has a fat enough meat head that his collar doesn’t come off. My Roommate’s pug can back out of his collar, but he’s old, slow, and doesn’t run off anyway.

Pretty sure that’s a crossover, bro.

I have never wanted to be a politician, I only wanted to be a scientist, but dammit, things like this make me wonder if I could get into politics. We have science idiots governing our country’s science programs.

Wow Cuomo is linked to yet another corruption scheme. What a shock. /sarcasm.

Less this

I’d argue that The Daily Show, after Stewart took over and started pushing political opinions through it, is also propaganda. That’s why I grew to hate The Daily Show. Because Jon Stewart wanted to make poignant commentary on political stuff, and then when pressed he would revert to “It’s a fake news show!” You can’t…

A v8 will fit apparently, so I would say that the cobalt SS engine should fit.. but while you’re at it, why not take a newer LDK over an LNF and have a stronger and newer generation block to start with?

They took the American redneck thing too over the top, I think. I have no problem with an American redneck caricature, especially since they’re using a NASCAR driver. They can’t use the Stig or a Stig-like driver, so they have to do something different. As an American myself I love it when those guys poke fun at us.…

I cringed the whole time that race driver guy was talking.

It has to do with the fact that Nike is publicly traded, investors want to squeeze every last fraction of a cent of profit out of the company and give exactly zero f*cks about the American workforce or anything else that doesn’t have a direct correlation to the bottom line.
