Right. The software could accidently imagine fake GPS, sensor, and input data that just happens to make it look like a human doing something, when really, a completely different set of events happen. Log files don’t have an imagination. A “bug” would be unlikely and present it’s self as a small piece of errant data,…

Yeah well, landing a man on the moons is 1960s tech too, but that doesn’t mean its easy. The US and USSR spent unfathomable amounts of money with the world’s best scientists launching thousands... thousands of rockets to perfect rocket technology. 

It’s all the new rage. Why drive the car when you can stick trim on the wheels that makes it look like the wheels are turning as it sits in your 5th living room?

To be clear, it was incompetence, just incompetence of a the hosting company. Read the trend micro story. They were running Linux kernel and Apache with known vulnerabilities exposed to the internet. Asking for it.

Sure. Red bull and vodka when I’m feeling a bit tired at the bar. And markup? It’s like 3-4 bucks a can!

the hell are you talking about? your office chair has wheels on it with a contact patch the size of your hand???? the point he is trying to make, is that the contact patch of a tire on the road is much smaller than people realize. A circle is round. in 2D, a true circle would contact a plane in only one point in…

Speaks to a lawyer about what? You go on the track knowing shit can and will happen, there is nobody to sue here.

Saw Chris in concert a few years ago, he was so wasted he couldn’t really sing. But I love his music. Sad deal.

Texas inspection wouldn’t be bad if it was just money, the worse part is nobody really wants to do it for the 20 bucks or whatever the shop gets, there is no priority to it and you have to sit around for hours to get it done.

It can take as little as 12" of moving water to sweep a car a away. She took a huge risk she had no right to take. She had no idea how deep it was. That she failed to kill to the children does not matter. If it were my kids I would want her locked up. It’s this kind of lack of respect for driving into a flooded road…

Your honest opinion is worthless. Thank science for the technology you use and food you eat.

I for one am a bit surprised a dryrotted tire handled that much pressure. New tire? Sure. I just picked up a 77 280z, tires were about 20-25 years old on it and after inflating to 35 PSI one had the tread just split and de laminate and fall off, steel belts and all, letting the inner carcass swell up like a balloon.…

Marquez might be the COTA champ, but him having multiple offs is not surprising, he eats it in practice and qualifying every weekend it seems. This is just business as usual for him.

There is always a reason, always an explanation. For every thing broken or anything in life you don’t understand. It’s just not always easy to uncover, and humans have a nasty habit of making up a reason when proper reasoning fails. I find it oh so much more satisfying to truly understand why something failed and…

Not saying it is not the Morgan’s fault... but there was a solid 2+ seconds of horn before impact. At the very generous (on the low side) of braking decel at 20 fpsps... if they hit the brakes at time of horn, and were traveling at 50mph, they should be at or below 20mph 2 seconds in. But in reality... you can…

Can’t wait for the model x smoking a Cherokee hellcat videos.

Yeah, likely, but that’s fine for me, because I love dfw and it just makes the job market even better here.

It was likely brake fluid boiling, which no inspection will catch. Can be moisture in fluid, or just not enough brakes. Most cars fade out, which is progressive, if fluid boils, you loose brakes very quickly. I have had fluid boil on the track with perfectly maintained fresh dot 3 and big brembo brakes. No fade, but…

Yes. Syncros are little conical brass clutches. When the clutch is used, it speeds or slows input shaft and clutch plate to wheel speed. When the clutch is not used it is speeding up or slowing down the input shaft, clutch plate, pressure plate, flywheel, crank, reciprocating parts, etc to match wheel speed. The…

M22 does not have planetary gears. The notable thing about the m22 is it has helical gears cut at less of an angle than most gear sets. Sometimes incorrectly called straight cut.... they are closer to straight cut, and thus stronger at the cost of making a bit more noise.
