However, I'm a bit surprised Honda can make such fantastic (series) hybrids, but can't build a decent EV. EVs should be simpler.

The problem doesn't occur if you have huge pages enabled, which is a good idea for a database machine anyway, as running without huge pages has almost as much of an impact on Postgres performance as this regression does. So no need to way for postfix to ship the spinlock bug fix.

One very interesting point by the dissenting judge is that if you accept the majority's broad interpretation of swaps, then not only are prediction markets swaps, but normal gambling is as well. Therefore all currently legal and regulated gambling is actually illegal because the CFTC has exclusive jurisdiction, not the states, and none of these gambling operations are following CFTC rules.

Not the way manned missions should be tested. Accept the cost of many test flights in actual space with proposed modifications before putting astronauts on board.
A very Agile way of working.

Typically in sound quality tests, you tell subjects which file is the original, then have them rate how close to the original the other samples are. In this he just gave them four samples, and had them guess which was which, turning it into a more subjective test of guessing what they think the track should like. In addition, based on the table he got a total of 1-4 responses per track, which is far too low to have any statistical significance.
This was a funny joke, but not the gotcha the article played it up to be.
