space, the final frontier
  • Surely he'll strip NASA, put the bits he wants up for sale, then buy them for cheap.

    Sure the best staff might leave, but he'll probably keep enough of the organisation to get something out of it.

  • Windows VS Linux (part 2)
  • Naah, i think they're just ragebaiting all the MS fanboys.

    It works too judging by all the shit in this forum.

    The meme isn't funny; but some of the reactions it provokes are hilarious. Though some of them are obviously counter-ragebait too. "Akshually i never have to restart to update windows since 2008". :)

  • Tesla Has Highest Rate of Deadly Accidents Among Car Brands, Study Finds
  • Or, their manufacturers also make some safer vehicles. It seems that all of Tesla's vehicles are high up the list, so the whole manufacturer average is higher than all others. Wheras Hyundai, for example, must sell plenty of safer models that bring down its average.

  • Tesla Has Highest Rate of Deadly Accidents Among Car Brands, Study Finds
  • They looked at fatal crashes only, which is presumably a very small share of all crashes. They also normalised to per mile driven using a sample of data they have - presumably some data on miles driven by car type.

    Could be sketchy, could just be a much smaller sub-population.

  • Tesla Has Highest Rate of Deadly Accidents Among Car Brands, Study Finds
  • .... sufficiently random ...

    Since they just use the 8m for the normalisation it'd be interesting to know how sensitive the rankings are if they assumed some bias. Or maybe even just swap around some normalisation factors and see how robust the ranking is.

    I guess they do have near complete data on the deaths, and pretty good data on the population of registered vehicles.

  • What's something that's scammy but only in ways you've connected the dots on?
  • The whole symbiotic(parasitic) relationship between bank deregultion, estate agencies , "standard rental agreements" and planning process seems like a network of self reinforcing scam designed to push prices up instead off offer better value to consumers.

    There seems to be no invisiblke hand of competetion doing aanything ti increate the amount of work, or bid down the prices. It is a dysfunctional market that seems to have been wantonly impaired by a nexus of self interest.
