Worth noting somewhere in here that Uber intentionally disabled all object-detection stoppage in order to "tune for a smoother ride" so the basic automatic braking was never implemented at all.
Wrong; they disabled the manufacturers auto-breaking system and replaced it with one of their lown.
What I don't get is why you are so upset about it. Shouldn't you be pissed off that men end up commuting a long way, doing masses of overtime and then dying on the job?
Nope. Women have an in-group bias; men do not. That's why you instinctively fly to the defense of anyone in your group, while men tend to look at the situation more pragmatically. I don't care that the "men" group is more likely to die, or that they commute longer, or that they work longer hours. Those are the sacrifices which many of the men within that group chose to make, presumably in order to achieve some goals they see as worthwhile. Why in the world would millions of men making individual decisions upset me in any way?
Shouldn't you support getting more women into the workplace so that your own working conditions also get better?
I've never seen working conditions get better after having more women join the team. On the contrary, things generally get worse if the company is willing to kowtow to the women. In the cases where the culture of the company doesn't change, and the women just integrate seamlessly into the existing group dynamics, things pretty much remain unchanged.
Diversity of viewpoint has value in and of itself. If two people are exactly as good at designing and implementing software but one of them has a less-common background, that person is actually worth more to the team because they bring their "hard" skills and something else besides.
By that logic, google should be offering a premium salary to try and hire neo-nazis, what with them being one of the smallest minority groups in the nation. I'm sure that the resultant diversity would be well worth the extra money.
Nope, what I'm going to be doing is looking at my speedometer instead of the road because that's what they've trained me to do.
If you are incapable of monitoring your speedometer and the road at the same time, you shouldn't be on the road in the first place. Go take a drivers ed course so they can teach you how to properly scan dash, road, and mirrors.
Literally not a single one of the stories provided on that page provides any evidence that cities shortened the lights after installing the cameras. On the contrary, most of them are along the lines of this excerpt:
"Dallas likewise installed the cameras at locations with existing short yellow times. A total of twenty-one camera intersections in Dallas had yellow times below TxDOTâ(TM)s bare minimum recommended amount."
It seems much more likely that - as the police officer in this story suggested - cameras are installed in response to danger. If the people responsible for setting up the lights are incompetent (as several of the stories on your linked page suggest) then some intersections will have shorter lights. Those intersections will be much more likely to have a disproportionate number of accidents. Therefore they will be more likely to receive cameras.
Of course it's stupid to just slap a camera on an intersection without first looking at why so many accidents occur at that location... but stupidity is common, so why are you assuming malice?
If you're only getting 50% efficiency then it's a 104 L tank. Still better in terms of volume but the other issue is that it has to be cylindrical which limits where you can put it and wastes space around it.
It may not be as much of an issue with planes as it is for cars, but it would depend on the airframe. On smaller aircraft the wings tend not to be too thick, which limits the possible diameter of your hydrogen tanks. You can keep them smaller and shove more of them in there, but then you need extra plumbing too, which also adds weight and volume.
I'm not saying that hydrogen can't be a viable alternative; there hasn't really been enough research into electric planes in general to be drawing any solid conclusions on the subject. I'm just pointing out that it's a lot more complicated than you're making it out to be, and that you're massively exaggerating the benefits of hydrogen.
For the vast majority of those with a decent credit rating your "hard inquiry" will either not affect their score at all or will budge it a few points. Again, I don't see the problem. Credit inquiries are only an issue for those with a lot of debt (or those who have applied for a whole bunch of loans and then backed out for some stupid reason).
People get paranoid about this stuff but it's all based on a poor understanding of the system. I'm firmly middle class myself and have a credit score up over 820. When I do apply for new credit, my score tends to drop 5-10 points tops, for a few months, before bouncing back. Not exactly something to get wound up about. If I were stupid enough to get 5 new credit cards all at once it might drop down to the low 700s, but even that wouldn't impact me in any real way.
Weight isn't the only problem; the big issue for hydrogen is volume.
Your energy numbers assume 100% efficiency turning the hydrogen back into usable energy. This is silly. I'm not even sure how you're planning to use it exactly. Current turbines can't burn pure hydrogen so you would need another fuel to go with it. You could use a fuel cell maybe, but those are maybe 50% efficient and add extra weight and volume (over and above what batterirs would require) which you haven't accounted for. You planning on turning your plane into a rocket? That's even less efficient.
The one part that I think doesn't signal they are doing well is the closing of the stores.
Tesla never wanted stores in the first place. Part of their business model right from the start was a desire to upend the existing "dealership" model. They were forced to open stores because the laws in some (many?) states prohibited manufacturers from selling direct to consumers.
Something like 500,000 people were willing to put a down payment on a Model 3 when Tesla started taking orders, years before the car was even in production. I don't think test drives are going to be a big issue here.
Anyway Tesla has stated that you can return the car within the first 7 days for a complete refund, so if you really want a test drive just go ahead and buy one. 7 days is a much longer test drive than you'll get from any other manufacturer.

They're not just stupid. Heck, a lot of them have college degrees.
It's so cute and hilarious that you think those are mutually exclusive ...
When airline pilots make an error worth prosecuting, there is generally not enough left of them to identify, let alone prosecute.
Also there is a fucking world of difference between "made an error" and "decided to watch a TV show instead of working".

That would be the driver.
I never suggested that you could; I merely pointed out that you need remedial training.

I'm not as smart as I think I am
Can confirm: there's about an order of magnitude difference there.
This is known as trickle-down gender-theory.

I use the thick 3 1/2" x 3/4" ones, but really you can use any width you like.
That's hilarious. I guess you haven't bothered looking at the degree distribution in computer science and STEM more broadly.
Yes but the problem is that you think you know what's right.
I remember growing up thinking that frying with butter was "bad" and that frying in corn oil was "good". Now we know the opposite is true.
Irony.
What kind of assholr would give people saline instead of a vaccine?
Oh, right, a homeopath.

Personally, this is annoying for me since I sometimes travel with laptops and this rule makes it basically impossible
You find it impossible to put a laptop in your carry-on luggage?
Question, do planes have a fire suppression system in the hold?
It depends on the type of aircraft. The FAA has a bunch of rules for various types of aircraft but all of them essentially boil down to:
1. If the cargo compartment can be easily accessed by crew it does not require automatic suppression systems but does require fire fighting equipment.
2. If the cargo compartment cannot be accessed by crew, it requires automatic detection and suppression systems.
I don't understand your objection. If your credit is that shit, how are you going to buy the car anyway?

I like how you try to lecture him on what is and isn't censorship, despite clearly having no clue what the word means.
