Maybe, but it’s still the case that slowing down will impart less energy to the collision. Let up on the brake before impact if you want, but you should have been braking once you first saw the deer in the road.
Sometimes those fuckers just jump out at you at the last minute. They’re not smart. But if you click the link, this one was right in the middle of the road, with that “Deer in the headlights” look. There was plenty of time to slow down before impact.
Using your credentials is not hacking, but once he was canned he no longer had authorization to access those systems. Legally, there is probably no distinction between gaining access by actual hacking vs. using credentials that are no longer authorized.
So yes, their IT processes are deficient, but that doesn’t let the guy off the hook or mitigate his punishment.
Drivers in rural areas are taught to hit the brakes and maintain their lane.
Which the Tesla didn’t do. It plowed full speed into the deer, which arguably made the collision much much worse than it could have been. I doubt the thing was programmed to maintain speed into a deer. The more likely alternative is that the FSD couldn’t tell there was a deer there in the first place.
Yes. In fact, in the US, it can be a crime for a doctor to aid someone in distress, if that person is a pregnant woman and helping them might harm the baby they are carrying.

Or is it simply cheaper to manufacture while being sold for the same price?
Yes, it’s mainly that. Most vendors don’t make their own power adaptors anyway, since there are strict requirements for power adaptors that are plugged into AC wall sockets in each country. The stuff inside the large brick is likely sourced from somewhere else, who has all those certifications worldwide. Note that it also uses standard AC power cable plugs. That large brick can be shipped worldwide by simply changing the AC cable it ships with.
The small GaN Brick is also outsourced, but since it is smaller it is probably more expensive to build. However, the AC plug is integrated into it, which means the seller has to stock physically separate units for each plug type if they want to ship worldwide.
As far as the price is concerned, this one shop is selling them all at around the same price, but I bet the MSRP on the Lenovo one is much higher, because of the brand. The parts inside the Lenovo one are probably cheaper.
The article noted that the agents can’t use their personal devices while on duty but of course they can while they are off duty. It mentioned that one of the guards took a jog while off duty, but that jog was from the hotel the President was staying at.
They also push their credit card with Chase. It has a $99 yearly fee, but gives you a free checked bag and lets you into Boarding Group 2 without needing extra status, which has an okay chance of having enough overhead for a carry-on. If you intend to fly United more than once in a year with a checked bag, but not enough to get status, it can make more sense to get the card.
It kind of sucks to have to play those games, but that’s Capitalism.
Basic economy simply isn’t worth it. They nickel and dime you with all the BS fees. And the credit card thing is total bullshit, too. They do it because they want to make sure they have your card on file in order to sell you overpriced snack boxes and charge them to your seat.
Once I had to buy a poor lady some crackers because she was on the last leg of a flight from Asia and hasn’t eaten anything, but the stewardess couldn’t take her money unless she had set up her CC ahead of time.
I fly United often enough for work that I have some status, so I’m one of the entitied snobs who board first and hog all the overhead space.
I get lots of emails from both sides, I’ve trained Google to send them all to spam. If I donate to a candidate, it won’t be because of an email.
I sent an email to my (Republican) congressman at his official Congress email address about an issue, and he must have used that as an excuse to add me to his solicitation list, and now my spam is filled with all the emails. I can only imagine how much worse it would be if I lived in a competitive state.
Oh yeah, everything you wrote about excess mortality in rural vs urban areas is 100% correct. But the Census aimed to enumerate everyone living in the country as of April 1, 2020, and it hit NYC really hard right at the start. So the fact that the rest of the country eventually caught up with the mortality rate didn’t help NY State in the Census at all.
COVID has already had an impact on the election. The census date was April 1, 2020. In March of 2020, COVID had started to severely hit NYC but was only ramping up in other areas. NY ended up losing a congressional seat in that census, by only 89 people. There’s no doubt that COVID’s timing screwed up NY State’s congressional map, and contributed to the slim Republican majority in this year’s congress.
There are such things as L1 switches, they are not really switches in the Ethernet sense but rather more like crossbar switches. They can selectively connect all traffic from two arbitrary ports together, and then change that on the fly, without a wiring change. Applications that are obsessed with getting the lowest possible latency might opt for those.

Roman Catholic doctrine opposes both, but the bishops don’t go around threatening to withhold religious services for politicians who allow the death penalty like they do with pro-choice politicians…

Hmm, we learned in 2022 that the House can’t do anything until a Speaker is installed. And the new Congress is seated a few days before the EC votes are counted. What if Kamala wins the election, but the House declines to elect a Speaker? Can they even convene to count the votes? I hope so, since the VP president over the counting of votes, not the Speaker.
Still, a Kamala win will be a lot more bullet-proof it it comes with a Democratic House and Senate, too. Then there is far less that Mike can do to fuck it up.
