They measured the best available headlights for each model listed. In the case of the 3-series, its halogens were the absolute worst headlights measured, but its optional adaptive LEDs pushed its final rating into the Marginal category.

As long as it happens in the real world, I assure you it will involve more variables than a simulation. I’m sure they’re not going to race on the surface of the James Webb Space Telescope mirror.

It doesn’t matter. Trump has distilled politics into its essence, which is devoid of substance. He doesn’t talk about specifics or address his lies because he doesn’t have to because his constituency doesn’t care.

The excitement would be watching the code interact with the real world. A simulated track may have certain programmed imperfections, but a real track has innumerably more variables than any extant simulation. At the very limits of the vehicle’s performance, I can imagine it would be interesting to see how different…

The liability cost would be unbelievable

It’s just hilarious to watch because it looks so silly

Nah, I’m pretty sure you’re wrong and I should be outraged about this tweet.

The consensus narrative on Reddit is that this was a result of the Wayne Foundation’s involvement, though on what basis I’m not sure.

Here’s the IIHS description of the test:

Presumably, everyone is a potential Guinness record holder for some sufficiently narrowly defined category. But a 1:15:43 half marathon isn’t anything to sneeze at, so credit where it’s due.

Whether this insane idea becomes reality depends not only on whether Bernie is serious or just using this threat against Monza to extort more money, but also on whether the allegiance of the Tifosi and indeed Ferrari itself would survive such a move.

Torch’s cabover dream will never die

I actually have performed cardiac surgery (well, assisted) and I can assure you Danica is terrible at it

Well the current design only assures head protection if you can be confident that the intruding body is rigid and larger in every dimension than the straight line between the top of the roll hoop and the rearmost and highest structural element of the crash structure in front of the driver (e.g., if the intruding body…

You forgot “I don’t even know where we finished.”

You could embed the yes/no into a permitted response given that the phrase is agreed beforehand, but the frequency of queries would probably raise suspicions. For example,

A plain affirmation is allowed, but would a read back (e.g., “affirm Nico, we will switch to the option at the next stop”) be allowed? I am not sure.

If the driver requests a wing adjustment, the team would not be able to acknowledge the message because it would constitute a communication from the team to the driver. This would be especially challenging for tires, since the team would be able to provide no feedback as to the relationship between the team strategy…

Still, this leaves no room for the driver to choose the tire (it would be exclusively one-way communication, which is very error-prone and would essentially never happen).

Maybe numbers ending in 9 are less likely to be prime (I’m not sure if this idea holds up to scrutiny but let’s just assume it’s true), but does that mean primes are less likely to end in 9?
