That depends a lot on whether the ice has been modified or not. Increase the compression, change the cam and roller rockers, add turbos and it's a different story.

How does a researcher find evidence that doesn't exist? Either there will be problems in the math which will be found in a peer review, or it will not be reproducible which will not be accepted as science and therefore not taken seriously. I would say this already happens, but that's why those people are on YouTube and not science journals.

Another failure of the American educational system.

Obviously it's the person who base64 encoded the infringing content, knowing it could be decided losslessly. That's no different than someone making an mp3 out of the wav files on a CD. You aren't absolved because you changed the format! Sorry I didn't even register you were trying to make a point with that, because the answer is so obvious.

eVTOL man-carrying craft (flying taxis and flying cars) are not yet economically viable -- and won't be until we have a whole new generation of batteries with higher energy densities and cycle-lives. At the current cost of operation, these are a solution looking for a problem.

Hell, China can't sell all the EVs it makes so the chances of them selling any of these is....

I don't know what you are taking about. They compare sections of songs and determine how alike they are and how long the sections are that are alike. I don't know why you keep talking about 'memory'. It doesn't matter where the plagiarized work comes from, only that it exists.

Congratulations to Blue Origin! This is an accomplishment, and the fact that there are now 2 partially-reusable launch systems available should be great news for companies that want to put payloads into orbit.

New Glenn is a much bigger rocket than Falcon 9, and bigger than even Falcon Heavy.

New Glenn is fueled by Liquid Oxygen and Liquid Methane, so the first stage won't have coking issues like Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. We will see whether this gives Blue Origin an advantage in turning-around and re-launching the booster.

And New Glenn has successfully launched payloads into orbit, something Starship has not done so far.

Your uncle's slow arse Barchetta doesn't need acceleration limits. There's very few EVs on the market that are as slow as this. Almost 9 seconds 0-100km/h. That's almost twice as long as the limit being proposed. The new lowest end trim of the 2025 VW ID.3 is as slow as the Barchetta, as is the slowest trim of the Renault 5.

Your uncle's ancient car can join my grandma's mobility scooter on a list of things that won't need a acceleration limits.

Have you seen traffic in China? Top speed is very much already limited.

There's a pedal you can step on for that. I assume you mean ADSD vehicle, since there's precisely zero self-driving vehicles available on the market for consumers. There's precisely zero incidents of ADSD overpowering a simple step on the brake pedal. That said I'm sure there's cases of people who are too stupid to both drive and be driven around.

Dude... one of the affected models is the second cheapest Model 3. Only the cheapest Model 3 RWD has a 0-100 time over 5 seconds. In fact just a quick look at the market I couldn't find a single AWD model EV that is slower than 5seconds to 100km/h. The only other car in Tesla's entire offering is the Model Y Standard that is slow enough for this.

Welcome to the world of EVs, we have a fuckton of acceleration.

... a significant portion of every city has people living in it with more than $100,000 in assets. Like outside of the slums you can bet anyone with a hint of grey in their beard does.

This isn't the security risk you think it is. God my wife is a teacher and her woefully underpaid arse had over $100k in assets when we met. In fact most people who have paid off only 1/4 of their mortgages have $100k in assets. What's the difference between whether that's in stocks, bonds, or housing?

These questions are already answered. These boundaries have been decided by courts for years. The obvious answer is that the AI should be held to the same standard as humans.

Cool Story, Bro time:

My domestic partner is very pretty and the dbag who runs the nearest Tesla dealership was trying really, really hard to get with her. He let her borrow his dealership's loaner Model S Plaid for a week as part of his "That Guy" package.

We thought we'd have some fun since it's supposed to be this super cool sports car. It turned out to have a governor on it that limited acceleration and top speed to something any Honda Odyssey owner would find comfortable.

I'm not sure whether it was that guy's doing or is that's something directly from Tesla itself but we both thought it was hilarious.

In my experience when somebody describes them as working then they do. I mean, there aren't a lot of variables. Screen size that's it. It's not complicated.

I don't care. If someone rear ends me it's their fault and I wouldn't do it if someone was on my ass that might hit me. I'm not killing a squirrel. People who are human value life.
