Static in all the beards on board. Ridership is at an all time high, much of it bearded wunderkind, but since they are all totally unique they blind to the collective effect of accelerating all that change.
The bigger news is that by streaming photoshop to your desktop (linux or otherwise) you don't have to infect your local machine with adobe upgrade manager or any of the other crap they insist on loading. Or at least I would hope so.
So the previous estimate was that 55% of the core had been damaged. They found that 5ft of the 13ft long cores were damaged. 5/13*100%=38.5%
Sounds like it's not as bad as expected. Still a long way from good, but not really news.
It's not a logical flaw at all and the energy available has nothing to do with the speed of the vehicle. The delta between the wind and the ground is the same regardless of what the vehicle is doing, and that's the source of the energy. The actual speed of the vehicle is limited by power that can be extracted from that delta and applied to propelling the vehicle. When the power consumed in wind drag is equal to the power propelling the vehicle then you've hit your top speed.
But uninsured motorist coverage on that scooter will cost you another $70 every 6 months so they are really putting the cost of the SUV hitting the scooter back on the scooter. To solve this they should require heavier vehicles to have more liability insurance. That way the coverage would be in line with the potential harm.

why does it suddenly start happening now ?

In my mind, it creates a blurry overlap image of Ballmer and Dick Cheney.
Bigtime!
Given these devices last for 5-15 years it's good of them to do a little forward thinking.
