If there are 10 other cars talking to your car, and 9 of them agree that there is an obstacle ahead, and one of them tells you its all clear, wouldn’t it be pretty obvious who the hacker is?

Uh...lets see...maybe something about praying for a pilot who knows how his airplane works instead of hoping his God can bail him out? Is that witty?

I might be wrong about this, but doesn’t the government continually change the safety standards as cars get more safe? So, for instance the 1998 corolla might have been 5 star safety rated in 1998, and the 2015 might have been 5 star rated in 2015; but clearly they are not equivalently safe. So, when she says ‘go for…

So are electric cars; but the prices are always declining when technologies are undergoing development, right?

Diesel? My money is actually on CNG. A diesel generator is great for delivering constant power, but it’s not the right technology to charge a battery. I’m expecting to see that battery charged by some kind of high efficiency gas turbine engine running off CNG (or maybe other fuels). It would always run right at the…

Problem is, batteries are heavy. You put in a ‘serious battery upgrade’ you add some serious weight and reduce the top speed. I’m not saying it wouldn’t just add an interesting strategic element to the sport when trying to find the sweet spot between range and top speed.

I wonder if, legally speaking, there is anything stopping a company from coming along and completely re-writing (from scratch) all the software that runs these tractors; but not including any of the features that keep it locked into John Deer’s service department, and then selling that software to farmers who want…

I think you’re ignoring the data here, which suggest that the primary role of the CEO is not running the company, but being the public face of the company in order to inspire investor confidence. The CEO is to the company what the Queen is to England; and she didn’t get her job by merit either.

Here’s an interesting quandary for the “pro life” crowd. If that unborn child was a person, then he had the right to habeas corpus; it was unlawful for the police to detain him without charging him with a crime. And of course, this would make it illegal to imprison a pregnant woman.  

Seriously, when I was getting ready to have kids and went to a birthing class and such, the first big takeaway I had was the whole idea of timing your trip to the hospital and picking the fastest route and all that is nonsense. You have hours fucking HOURS to get to the hospital in most cases.

The idea of having to…

Has anyone confirmed that this car is not being towed away because the wheels are stuck like that? I know it would probably call for a flatbed if that was the case, but it’s got to be conceivable that the problem is the wheel position.

I don’t think a closer relationship with Russia is intrinsically bad. The part that is troublesome is where the price we pay for that closer relationship is giving Russia a pass on things like annexing Crimea and interfering with our elections. If we sanction Russia for those actions, and we can build a better…

Wouldn’t it be easier to just bring your own wireless router with you and replace their with yours? That way their wireless devices wouldn’t know the password?

But didn’t Episode One come out in 1999?

Just shoot them dead instead. If there’s one thing you can always do in America, it’s shoot someone dead.

You could probably make a similar argument about Rommel, but I think if you tried to honor him with a national holiday people would have similar objections. Being an honorable man on the wrong side of a war shouldn’t get you a holiday along side an honorable man on the right side of a movement.

I want to walk around Biloxi on the 4th of July wishing everyone a “Great Nations Day” to celebrate the Great Nations of American and England.

You realize that Trump is the actual president-elect right? There’s no reason to compare him against some theoretical president that might have been. If that’s what Trump supporters are planning on doing for the next 4 years...wait, it is, isn’t it?

What you’re missing is that the CIA didn’t produce evidence of WMD’s in Iraq, the Bush administration just tried to spin their intelligence reports to support their agenda. What’s more, the director of the central intelligence (George Tenet) actually resigned because of the way their intelligence was being…

I don’t think that’s anywhere near stringent enough. By your definition, I could just hand you the Mona Lisa because even the CIA couldn’t create a perfect forgery. Doesn’t it matter to you that the evidence against Russia is conclusive, and not just that the CIA didn’t fake it?

Also, I’m curious, if you think that the…
