Its in the fine print you don't see when you buy the car.

The more ridiculous thing is of course that you press on the brakes equals hard braking. Its winter and your abs kicks in and guess what that counts as...

Anyway in a few years they'll revert to normal rates and info gets thrown out, currently its only seen as valuable as they have it of so few drivers and the company selling the data basically just flat out lies about the quality of the data - the "normal" driving benchmark on it isn't normal at all - and the reason they'll revert is that they actually need customers and can't stay afloat with unicorn customers who only drive 35mph on account of being senile.

The data doesn't include where or the limits etc..

Not sure what they are trying to achieve in the lawsuit, TBH. They've already fixed the model, so their prayer for relief can't be that. Damages? Doubt, given that it took some major backflips for NY to create the duplicates, and they were likely the only such dups... unless something turns up in discovery, I guess.

The 400 pounders generally get enough of every possible vitamin and such.

Whats most perplexing and annoying is the people, mostly americans, who insist that they're obese because they're poor as if fast food was an affordable way to eat. Sure its cheaper than gourmet restaurants but thats high class expensive.

(Mcd around here in upper 3rd world is a luxury flex, not that street noodles didn't have more calories msg and oil, they just can't afford to buy mukbang buckets of it)

How would you know? May its fit for boomer taste now.
(In reality mcd quality has gone down though on average and varies wildly on location and who is working there, but they've gone to hotboxing the beef patties etc cost cuts.. Meaning the cheese will not go on the burger as it comes off the grill).

With doordash etc the problem is that they let the ghost kitchens flood the menu with the same item 5 times by just making fake restaurants on the app all from same kitchen all same product exactly same ingredients, not even a difference of putting garlic mayo on one and regular on another..

Oh, that's all, is it.

Yep, you're right 1 hour max /s.

Browsers are the most insecure attack surface of any aspect of modern computers. Apple's s/w is built using standard engineering decision-making - can we rely on X being there ? Why yes we can, so we can delegate this function to that system framework which we've tested is all secure.

Except that all breaks down when someone installs a 3rd party browser. Now the security model of the system depends on the security model of the installed browser, and that's just not acceptable. It may be the user's fault that they installed but you can guarantee that Apple will be holding the can at the end of any argument over why their nudes are now all over the internet.

Well its better to know both.

In our driving school they had a switch for it 25y ago. We went to slip road facility to practice since for a bunch of people its the only time in the training they feel the abs pump on the pedal and some people get freaked out about it the first time.

(That country has decent driving schools but the license cost with the school is like over half of a persons monthly pay).

The reasoning from them is basically just "we respect natives" though.

It's just names, i don't think they considered how much this affects all the other languages on the planet either, such a hassle for no practical benefit to anyone including the natives whos languages it doesn't affect, though it will affect some of them in a way where when talking english they'll be told to use another tribes name for some bird.
