This is not always true. For example, the union relationship with Eastern Airline, where the union decided that it was better to eventually kill the airline in exchange for a better contract today. (Reference - Hard Landing by Thomas Petzinger). Unions are yet another human organization. Like all human organizations, it in-enviably becomes about sustaining itself, and that sustaining and power structure can become as destructive as corporations themselves to individual rights when the institution is opposed to the something the individual wants or needs.
It could be that the stock market doesn't agree with that private valuation. Also, that valuation is a little odd because some of the investment doesn't kick in until they launch a product, and in the case of Honda, some of it is in machines and other non-monetary things.

Or it could be that as Cruise's value goes up, GMs goes down. Look at what was Yahoo for an example -- for a while the stock was worth less than just the value of their Alibaba shares, meaning the stock market attributed a negative value to what was left of Yahoo.
That kind of crapware is why I'm increasingly glad that the http specs are moving towards being completely illegible to middleware boxes.

> And CORS implementation is terrible. The server has to transmit validation rules for the browser to enforce (with vendor specific caching differences), rather than just enforcing access itself.

That's a typical misunderstanding of purpose of CORS. Regardless of your website setting or not setting CORS, an attacker with a modified browser or a custom browser can ignore it. That's not what CORS protects from - CORS protects against a non-modified browser uased by Joe Random User installed via a factory/distribution path being tricked into doing something against the site policy, therefore exposing the user.
That table is for aristocrats only. It contains only men. The table also excludes "those who had died by accidents, violence, poison, or in battle."

Admittedly, Tudor England was not a very urbanized society, so looking at Londoners alone is also unrepresentative of the whole nation. I think it is at least a bit broader than 52 noble men who managed not to die of accidents or violence.

EDIT: a page later in your source, it also notes "These rates [of death for women] are very high by modern standards... In the 16th and 17th centuries, 11.3% of fertile women died from complications of childbearing."

The reason is pretty simple. Women have husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons. It's not women vs men.

GM raised $3B in debt last year at nominal rates of 4%-5%.[1] In real, terms, that's maybe 2-3%. GM can raise billions from banks if it wants to. The fact that it would rather raise money by selling Cruise equity rather than selling bonds indicates that (a) they value Cruise at less than $15B or (b) they are risk-averse or (c) they see some other benefit from bringing equity partners on-board. It's not (d) they have no other good way of raising capital. GM is a huge company with a relatively low cost of capital (~5%).

"Guns kill people" is a straw man. The actual argument is that guns make it easier to kill people (and yourself) on a whim.

There is absolutely no reason to believe that Noah was already older than 120 or that he lived longer than a normal life span. There is every reason to believe that nearly everyone's body falls apart between 50 and 120 if disease or malice hasn't gotten them prior.

When you fabricate its better if the fabrications concern things either long ago or far away and if the present situation is different from that described you have to explain why if you don't want your audience comparing present reality to prior and seeing through the hoax.

Example if you wanted to posit that insert legendary figure here was 30 feet tall and came from a village where most were 20' and up you can't set the story in the next village last year because someone has probably been there and noticed that people just aren't that tall.

If it was a thousand years prior across an ocean you can claim that people became less mighty as the years went by and lost touch with their gods which plays to people's tendency to filter the past through nostalgia.

If a 30 foot tall giant seems less likely than a 900 year old man then you may need to apply critical thinking skills.

Just because its still socially OK to believe nonsense doesn't mean its true.

verifcationAction.authenticateClient() call hit a null ref exception (called from the template at /verification.xhtml) and their error page is trying to use a webBean context which hasn't been setup or activated yet to display the error.

The original site of the null ref error seems to be the DBAuthInsert method at
com.icbc.licensing.clio.action.VerificationAction.DbAuthInsertandCount(VerificationAction.java:118)
so maybe a getConnection is returning a null and not being checked, or some config variable is borked. Would start digging at line 118 to work out what variables are being dereferenced and where their values come from.

GM has the Bolt and Volt, and a Cadillac hybrid. Ford has the C-Max plug-in and a few other hybrids, and is going to build a hybrid F-150 and Mustang in the next few years. And for some reason Chrysler managed to beat Toyota and Honda to market with the first hybrid minivan.

Given that the F-150 is the bestselling vehicle in the United States, Ford might become one of the world's top sellers of hybrid cars when they release it. And the hybrid Mustang is supposed to be one of the fastest Mustang models.

You are right. I am not contesting the Highway system, which actually still seems to be a good case for Federal public spending, both because it benefits the military and because it is inter-state.

My point is entirely regarding the roads that were built out from the dense urban cores to connect with sub-urbs, and the roads built to connect sub-urbs with one another, and those inside of suburbs too. If these were paid for by those who used them (and not inner-city dwellers) then perhaps urban sprawl would not have happened, and we would have saved ourselves from a whole host of externalities we are only discovering now.

The EU has successfully tested this and removed any subsidies to the sugar agricultural sector. The sugar industry in Europe has not imploded. In fact, it’s just adjusted to the new reality of not being subsidised. Other than that, it’s pretty much business as usual.
I’ve always thought the answer to the union “problem” was easy: multiple unions. Mandate that no more than, say, 30% of the workforce may be part of a single union, then let them fight it out. Monopolies suck both when it comes to corporations and the workforce.

In my experience corruption sinks in on both sides when people can get away with putting in place policies to protect the status quo. When there are multiple options, and the same antitrust policies that are in place to prevent collusion between employers are also enforced to prevent “unionization of unions,” I believe that is when the individual worker actually wins.

With all the negative press directed at Musk it's easy to overlook the fact that he's done an incredible job leading Tesla through highly uncertain waters.

Tesla's enemies are everyone from Trump to the incumbent car companies Tesla would have already soundly beaten if they hadn't received a massive bailout.

I think based on this that Tesla's stock is still fairly significantly undervalued. I wouldn't buy it for anything other than a 5-10 year time horizon, during which time I think it will become obvious how superior Tesla's approach is to traditional manufacturing approaches.

Of course, the enemies will still be able to attack through intellectual property theft, frivolous lawsuits, etc., but Tesla is one of the giants of modern manufacturing and design.

Is there really much more innovation to be had with email ux?
Perhaps I'm getting old, but I'm getting frustrated with having to learn new interfaces that don't improve my experience.

Each new version of Android or iOS changes the UI in small but useless ways. I mean, why change the way the clock app works in Android so frequently.

It's not worth the cognitive overhead of relearning how to do simple. What is driving this? Is it that a bunch of engineers have what are essentially bullshit jobs, or do companies feel they need to keep fresh or die?

My parents are about to hit 70, and these types of changes for the elderly are even more stressful. Why should they need to relearn how to use an email interface?

We need software with super long term support release that just get bug fixed for ~20 years. Redesigning the UI for essential every day things is wasting time. Plus, unless you are 18 years old the even worse Snapchat style UI antipatterns create a huge impediment to doing things that should be dead simple.

I've always been frustrated by these figures because life expectancy has gone up due to reducing infant mortality. It doesn't mean our lifestyle has made humans live longer.

It would appear that a more useful metric is number of centenarians per million. On the 1.1.1960, England & Wales had 11.6 centenarians per million. On the 1.1.1990 this increased to 76.3 centenarians per million.[1]

Another way to look at it is the risk of death for a given age tracked over time.[2] If you were 60 years old in 1900, would you have a higher risk of death compared to 2000?

The latter seems unlikely given the stock of Ford, Toyota and other related companies have mostly followed the same peaks and troughs of GM (for quick comparison, look at GM vs CARZ etf). Unless GM has managed to bleed the exact value of Cruise over that period.

Simplest Way on How to Earn $150 Daily %100 Working
A lot of disagreement here based on the premise that "completion" is the wrong metric. No argument there, but maybe that's not the premise.

I believe the best way is to offer options for all people. (Not going into the proven-debunked-proven-debunked learning styles rabbit hole here).

I've tried both a Bachelors and Masters by correspondence and performed dismally in both. I had due dates, I was financially invested but I just couldn't get engaged with the materials. The Blackboard BBS was not even close to a community of my peers and lecturers. (Seriously Blackboard fix that).

I'm now 2 years into a 4 year part time MBA at a university that I attend on campus. I am engaged because I go to classes & I discuss things with both tutors, lecturers & peers, my lecturer is a person and not doing my best and then showing up to class is disrespectful and frankly embarrassing. I have gone from not even submitting some assignments because <insert excuse about life/work/busy> to a GPA that isn't perfect but is closer than I ever expected.

I've also not finished a number of Coursera, PluralSight, Lynda and Linux Academy courses, but I've got value from them.

Kudos to brainstation for trying to build a better platform. In the meantime I'm working like crazy to finish my MBA before my uni follows too many others into the world of online classes.

> Tesla’s competitors are feeling it. Sales of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, the best-selling luxury sedan in the U.S., plunged 24 percent last month and are down 28 percent for the year through September.

> And it’s doing so at a higher price than other mass-market cars. The most expensive versions of the Model 3 are currently the most popular, with an average selling price approaching $60,000.

It would be very interesting if Tesla's surge in ranking would be caused more by fleeing luxury customers (from brands like the referenced Mercedes) versus gaining new customers.
I guess what the comment echoed was that Tesla sell much better because of the status. And the other EVs don't enjoy such futuristic image.

I'll add my own point that Tesla's image is very undeserved, it is only kept by the cult of Elon musk and incessant lies about self driving technology.
