Gawker didn't burn to the ground. They reorganized. I find Gizmodo to be unreadable these days since the basically moved all of the Gawker staff to other parts of the company. Their principles are still alive and well, just without Nick Denton, and without the Gawker name.

I remember reading once that the British Colonies in America were very litigious. The King of England was annoyed by this, and granted the governors of the colonies more latitude to deal with these suits. The Colonies became accustomed to less influence from the throne. When King George III tried to regain some of that control, things started to go down hill.
Not milk chocolate. There's simply not enough theobromine to kill a dog - they would have to eat their own weight or more. Milk chocolate isn't the same as baker's chocolate. The sugar would kill them before that point. There's plenty that vets push that is BS - such as large dogs needing heartworm vaccinations, or needing vaccinations every year, or vaccinations for leptospirosis, when the vaccine only protects against 6 out of more than 150 different types and has side effects.
If you own a cat or dog, go to the dollar store and get a cheap set of dry measuring cups. Then measure out the food!
You missed a step.
First, figure out the calorie requirements of your pet (there's calculators available on the web), then use the kcal/cup values listed on the bag to determine how much you should be measuring out, then measure out the amounts.
Or maybe that's just me...
That's a good start. There's usually a recommendation on the bag. Although individual pets may vary. You will likely need to adjust the quantity.
Most chocolate is no more deadly for dogs than it is for humans.
This is bullshit. If you would have taken the pulse of your Newfoundland, you would have discovered it's heart racing. Chocolate is a stimulant for dogs. Your dog didn't die because it has a strong heart, it's large, and got lucky. A lot of crack addicts don't die for the same reasons. It doesn't mean it's not harmful.
I've had much smaller dogs eat chocolate as well. Yeah, the survived. But they were noticeably affected by it in their system.
If your dog eats chocolate, at least make them puke it up. Even better, call a veterinarian.
A large part of the problem, though, is pet food feeding guidelines. If you feed a typical pet what the bag says, 90% of the time you'll get an obese pet. Heck, if you feed most active dogs what the bag says, you'll get a fat dog.
You think people measure out food? I bet 1 in 3 pet owner's don't. Or if they do, they feed table scraps as well.
If you own a cat or dog, go to the dollar store and get a cheap set of dry measuring cups. Then measure out the food! If your pet gets too fat or skinny, adjust the quantity.
It often isn't until retirement that you're actually free to form relationships with someone based on common interests instead of common circumstances. And guess what? They're all old and moderately set in their ways so the odds of a friendship forming are lower. And they're going to die at a higher rate than in your youth, so there's that, too.
Not only that, but I think the vast majority of people struggle to connect with others. It's not just a nerd thing.
When you are working or going to school, you are forced to interact with others. Relationships require skill to acquire and sustain. Most people don't have those skills, or are unwilling to work at them, without social pressure. Upon retirement, that social pressure is eliminated and people struggle.
The other is the track break, which engages in the event where the rope snaps (clamps on the cabin that seize the metal tracks that guide the cabin).
Both would be difficult to put in place on a Maglev system.
I was thinking about this type while reading the article. I think it can be done quite simply. Just make the car two parts. The inner part holds the passengers, and the outer part (carrier) has the maglev equipment. Basically, the carrier takes the place of the cable. In the event of a maglev failure, the force between the two components will be zero, and the clamps would activate.
My question is, what happens when the car stops at a floor. Is it held in place mechanically? Is a magnetic field holding it in place?
They are making steel wire. Operating one machine.
Good point. They carefully crafted this story to make it sound more impressive.
Alongside a small creek on the valley floor, the €100 million ($111 million) plant turns 3-ton beams of steel forged in Voestalpine’s blast furnaces next door into thick wire used to make components such as shock absorbers and piston cases in BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi factories across the border in Germany. While about 300 other workers in Donawitz carry out support roles such as shipping logistics and running the internal rail system, the rolling mill itself will be operated by just over a dozen people.
I know people that used to work in steel mills years ago. You don't want those jobs! They are horribly dangerous!
One of the stories involved two coworkers walking on a catwalk above the blast furnace in full heat suits (think Jamie's suit from Mythbusters). One of the workers leaned on the railing and it let go. He was vaporized before he hit the surface of the steel.
The stories like this go on and on. People crushed between rail cars, etc. Sure, the steel industry paid really well, because it had to. The working conditions were so terrible, no one would work there otherwise.
This kind of extreme work environment is ideal for automation. I'd rather see a robot get destroyed in an accident than a person killed.
Emissions regulations in the US are set in g/hp-hr. Basically the mass of emissions is regulated with a compensation for the power of the vehicle. Diluting the exhaust wouldn't change the mass, just the concentration.
Going forward all emissions testing should be done with the car at maximum weight rating, driving up a steep mountain road. I'm sure they can make these devices small enough to put in a trunk. They could also do a lightweight test with just a driver.
That can and has been done. The drawback is that the testing won't be done in a controlled environment, so the results may not be repeatable.
I am not the person that deals with the power, but as I understand it, the generator and transfer switch monitors the grid for some time before switching back to grid, and there are power conditioners in between.
I used to design the diesel engines used in some of those systems, and have seen them in use. Although your system may monitor the grid to ensure reliability, it's most likely making sure it's not switching between two power sources that are out of phase.
When we would connect one of our gensets to the power grid, we had to match the phase before we could close the switches. To do this, the engine speed was modified to run the generator at slightly above or below the frequency of the grid. If the phase wasn't matched, the power grid would try to force the generator into phase suddenly. It's assumed the power available from the grid is infinite in these types of systems. Therefore an incredible amount of current would flow through the generator and also provide a mechanical jerk to the engine if the switches were closed out of phase. Something will break in a spectacular fashion if this isn't done carefully.
I monitor online newspapers in the US, Canada, Australia, UK. I visit NPR, as well.
TV is dangerous.
I generally agree that TV news is dangerous. 24 hour news networks are the worst! It's more about getting attention than conveying useful information.
However, five years ago CBS noticed this trend and shifted their focus on to more hard hitting journalism. The quality is similar to NPR, PBS, and the BBC. They even partner with those organizations for some stories.
However, they still spend way too much time focused on what goes on in a big white house in Washington.
My local Office Depot has some "Commercial Grade" Baking Soda available, made by some other supplier named "Arm & Hammer". It's in stock, and $1.39 for a pound of it.
I think the summary neglected to mention this is "Pharmaceutical Grade" baking soda. Which would need approval from the FDA to be used as medicine.
My company used to have a dedicated position for things like this. It was an "Engineering Methodologies" group. It was a small group of people in a department that would determine what areas the department was struggling with the most. They would look for tools that could be purchased, and if none were available they would write it in house.
The sad thing about these positions is this is really something IT should be doing. But with most of the IT department outsourced overseas, they can't provide this kind of support.

There are too many intelligence agencies in the US. If politicians were serious about eliminating government waste, they would consolidate all of those agencies into one, Central Intelligence Agency.
Having a bunch of isolated intelligence gathering agencies is how we ended up with Pearl Harbor, and 9/11.

Why do they prefer to be paid in Tide?
Because it's too cold out Tide! #Dadjoke
I think they should sell to Cisco. That way you can't tell if you've been MITM or not.

Mod parent up. A modern farm is very dependent on internet access. Just like most businesses.
Sony Music never made vinyl records. It's only been around since 1991. Sony's predecessors (Columbia, RCA, and Epic) did.

Uh huh...
For your own sake at least get your pets vaccinated for rabies. It's zoonotic, so it can be transmitted to humans, and it's fatal!

Contractors did not realize the "free" in FreedomPay means free speech not free beer.
They do a much better job explaining that to contractors at the NSA.
