It seems it would be far easier for the automaker to disable the car if a mobile device is in use by the driver than for a device maker to reliably identify that the driver is, in fact, the one person in the vehicle using the device.

IF he chooses not to go, there damn well better be tacks left in his chair every Board meeting.

Takata knew they were building a claymore, though. The first manufacturer they tried to hire to assemble their newly designed airbags laughed in their face about the design and walked away. Auto makers later asked that same company to steal their design and build it without Takata, so they refused and told each of…

Oops. Overlooked a District. Here’s the correction (Assuming overall popular vote gets Senatorial Electors this time.):

Here’s why it the NPV fails: Imagine ten districts, each with 100 voters. Nine of those districts were won in narrow elections, with A getting 51 votes. District Ten was won by a narrow but significant margin, with B getting 59 votes. The final tally is 449 for A vs. 451 in favor of B. B won the popular vote, but…

National Popular Vote is great until you realize it’s built around the voting results of each Congressional District instead of a single voting tally for each State. If each Elector represented their district (just as their Representatives are meant to do) except for the Senatorial Electors who would be awarded to…

“The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld state laws guaranteeing faithful voting by presidential electors (because the states have plenary power over presidential electors).”

Go look up a recent Wisconsin Federal Judge’s Panel decision about a mathematical definition of Gerrymandering called the Efficiency Gap. It sounds promising, but I haven’t seen it applied to more than a two party situation.

Let’s see, since being elected he’s tanked Boeing, Apple and Lockheed stock. Nothing much has changed.

Fortunately, Palin, crazy as she is, has loudly criticized Drumpf since then, so the odds of it going through are slim. Strange how criticism from within his own ranks gets no press at all.

God to all new arrivals: “I just can’t believe you fell for all of that...”

Oh, why is it that for thirty years, the only politicians who have scared me more than current governors of Texas were former governors of Texas?

Somewhere around the fourth film they started gradually evolving into RoadRunner cartoons. Watch the trailer with the sound replaced by the RoadRunner theme song. Nothing unusual about it at all.

That was never in doubt.

I prefer Dipshit McHairdo, myself.

Other than advertising, a huge part of establishing Chocolate Diamonds was that optical scanners could group and organize them into precise color matches quickly and cheaply. Loading up jewelry with a mixture of variously hued brown diamonds never really took off, but once you could match the entire set of tiny…

There’s a mathematical test called the Efficiency Gap which does a great job of identifying partisan gerrymandering.

Hopefully, these courts will take Wisconsin judges’ recent support of an impartial mathematical test for gerrymandering called “The Efficiency Gap” into consideration. For two party races, it’s very promising: I haven’t seen it applied to a three-party contest.

So, I wonder, is Trump Taiwan a project in the works?

Are they throwing people in jail for calling the President Elect an idiot yet? I know that’s on his agenda...
