The articles I read said that the car traveled for 7 miles from the time the officer noticed the driver was passed out until the police stopped the car. We actually have no idea how long the driver had been unconscious before the cops intervened. I'm sure that some technician will pull the logs from the computer and eventually find out exactly how far the car had gone after the driver passed out. Given that drunk driver pass out in their vehicles and kill themselves and others on a daily basis in the US, the software in this may have saved several lives.

Why would all of the refineries close? We use oil for many things besides fuel. The main components of gasoline used to be considered worthless byproducts of refining other petroleum products.

For a size comparison Israel is roughly the size of New Jersey. According to Google Maps, driving from the nothernmost tip to the southernmost tip of the country is 520km. Tesla's Model S 100D has a range of 540km, so there are no locations in the country that you cannot travel to on a single charge with today's technology. In 11 years battery technology will likely be better and cheaper, making this a practical move for the country.

Let’s compare Seattle to Renton (city next door to Seattle going southeast). Actually, let’s compare two separate McDonald’s restaurants on the same street (Rainier Ave. South), one in Seattle and one in Renton. Seattle currently has a minimum wage of $15.45 per hour for most fast-food workers; Renton employers only have to pay the state minimum wage of $11.50 per hour.

I picked four items from the menu to compare prices at the two restaurants; a Big Mac, an Egg McMuffin, a large Coke, and a large fry. At the Seattle location (9304 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA 98118) those items respectively cost $5.89, $3.89, $1.99, and $3.39 plus 10.1% sales tax for a total cost of $16.69. At the Renton location 3 miles away (73 Rainier Ave S, Renton, WA 98057) those same items respectively cost $4.89, $3.79, $1.00, and $2.89 plus 10% sales tax for a total of $13.83. So there’s a 21% increase in cost in Seattle compared to Renton for the same items.

That's exactly what an Iomega Jaz disk was, with a hard drive platter in a removable cartridge while the motors and heads were in the drive itself.

You have to think globally. To be in the top 1% of income earners on the planet you need to earn only $32,400 USD per year; barely over minimum wage in some areas. Source: An Echo Dot is $50 or less, affordable by many who earn even less than $32K per year.

Sideshow Bob tries to get his name in the media as often as possible by suing the Trump administration dozens of times to appeal to his potential backers as he gets ready to run for governor. Now that he’s discovered the 10th Amendment he should get all of his AG pals to start filing lawsuits daily for everything that the Federal government does that isn’t explicitly allowed in the Constitution.

Who gets to define "basic"? Enough calories to not starve to death and enough money to cover the rent of the cheapest studio apartment in town with 8 or 9 roommates?

It's not hard to find 12-packs on sale 3 for $10, or occasionally 4 for $11, but you'll never see those princes within the Seattle city limits with the sugar tax.

If you're going to go down for bribery make sure you remember to bribe the judges on the appeals court so that you can get your sentence reduced in a timely fashion.

The 777-9 is roughly the same size as a 747-400 and the proposed 777-10 would be about the same size as 747-8. Given that twin engine planes are more efficient than 4 engine planes in most use cases, airlines are finding it much more cost effective to order the new 777 compared to the 747. Thus the reduced demand for the 747, and similarly the A380. Boeing currently has 326 orders for the new generation 777 compared to 14 unfulfilled orders for the 747-8, and Airbus has 95 unfulfilled A380 orders.

They’re comparing the annual sales of 10 models of iPhone to 3 models of Galaxy? In 2017 Apple sold the iPhone 5C, 5S, 6 (Plus), 6S (Plus), SE, 7 (Plus), 8 (Plus), & X. Samsung started selling the Galaxy 8 and 8+ this past spring and the Note 8 in September. A fair comparison would be comparing the iPhone X to the Note 8 since both were released this past fall and have similar price points. I’d assume the X sold more units than the Note, but I haven’t seen the numbers for either.
Either way Samsung sells around 50% more phones than Apple, and makes components for all of the iPhones and many other smart phones as well.

Customers would be in even more trouble if Equifax was sending them to a real phishing site.
