Try the (free, or premium) tabnine plugin.

This is interesting because ANCAP stated the following

>The autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system is capable of detecting and reacting to pedestrians and cyclists. The AEB system showed GOOD performance in pedestrian test scenarios in both daylight and low light, with collisions avoided or mitigated in most scenarios including in turning scenarios and some reverse (AEB Backover). In cyclist test scenarios, the AEB system offered GOOD performance with maximum points scored.

It wouldn't be difficult for Tesla to just bump up the sensitivity for the test - ensuring that it acts extra cautiously for the test, and then have it lower in real world scenarios where they're worried false positives would make it unusable.
CEO is not a standard manager. They are running a company, which can do many things. The managers should have an expertise in what the company is doing. Too many places just assume the company is doing "marketing" or "sales" and the people running it need to be experts in that.

Rail doesn't need technological pipe dreams. A well run rail network is already really good at moving freight and passengers.

The issue in the US is decades of cost cutting by the freight operators. This includes a lack of infrastructure investment, optimizing cost over speed, and overworking employees to an extreme amount.

The technologies for better rail already exist. We just need to actually use them in America.

>Isn't the whole point of a paper to present a topic in a clear and understandable way, so that your peers are able to cut through the bullshit?

Yes, but there is unfortunately a wide variability in the knowledge of reviewers. It's not uncommon to have reviewers directly contradict each other about the shortcomings of the paper. E.g.,

Reviewer 1: "Section A needs to be condensed, this level of background is unnecessary. Readers will find this as common knowledge."

Reviewer 2: "Section A should be expanded as all readers may not be knowledgeable in this area."

Particularly for grad students, this can make the process feel arbitrary and the feedback of limited value. There also can be an inordinate amount of stylistic review comments (e.g., "however" should be changed to "nonetheless"). These often come across as the reviewer feels the need to critique something because they don't have sustentative critiques. Good critiques strengthen a paper, bad feedback seems to do nothing but check the process boxes.

I actually agree with the OP that one potential solution is to encourage reviewers to decline reviewing papers that they don't have the requisite knowledge to provide good feedback. Unfortunately, this decision is often only offered based on reading the title and abstract.
Fair enough. I have no idea the laws or customs of the UK.
A common belief based on that common misunderstanding of tax brackets is that when rich people give to charity the deduction saves them more in taxes than the amount they gave.

For example if the person in your example made $105 and gave $5 to charity and brackets worked the way the common misconception worked that would reduce their taxes from $15.75 to $10, saving them $5.75 in taxes which is indeed more than their $5 donation, and they do indeed come out $0.75 ahead of where they would have been had they not donated.

In reality, taxes without the donation would be $10.75 and the donation reduces taxes to $10, giving them a tax saving of $0.75 for their $5 donation, leaving them $4.25 behind where they would have been had they not donated.

Note: there may be other tax consequences besides the deduction for the donation itself for some charity donations that also provide benefits, which might make a donation a net monetary gain for the donor.
I don't see why that would be any more trustworthy, How do I know if the bank is trustworthy and is going to honor it?

I literally had one of the big banks in Australia steal several thousands from me by "loosing" paperwork in their internal mail service TWICE. I had to make a big show of photographing it and bringing a witness for the third time to stick.
I obviously switched banks after that experience, but it definitely made me realize that even big respected banks can't be trusted.
There are no good platforms for contract work.

> The long-term solution to this is to replace gas ovens with electric ones.

Not really. Burning natural gas turns 90%+ of its chemical energy into heat. Its incredibly efficient.

In contrast: turning natural gas into electricity wastes 60% of the chemical energy (only extracting ~40% of the chemical energy).

-----

Burning natural gas inside our homes is surprisingly efficient use of fossil fuels, far better than centralized electricity production. Its probably the last thing to replace on the list of electrification-technologies.

If all that cooking-electricity comes from a natural gas peaker plant, then you've just doubled your usage of natural gas.

This. It’s a great interface for a kid. Find the thumbnail of the thing you want to watch, press a button. Kids will rewatch the same episode repeatedly, so the interface is optimized for that.
A lot of people are making really bad analogies:

Guns are a generic item and they have more purposes than killing people. A machine gun has more purposes than mowing down people. They are generic items used for defense also.

The NUMBER ONE usage of a machine gun, as used by people that are not in law enforcement, daily, a million times a day in the United States is: cash protection. You think those armored car drivers don't think they are USING a machine gun every time they park at a designated stop? The usage is deterrence. That's a highly valuable purpose for a machine gun.

Also, if the ONLY people using tornado cash are "the bad guys stealing money" then it would be easy to find that only one person is using them. But no, a lot of people are using it, therefore there's more than one usage than just "bad guys cleaning money". It might be good guys cleaning money or don't want a known transaction to be known publicly, even if the transaction was clean.

T.C is a generic item like a bag. edit: Also, don't let them fucking take away your rights.

Netflix and Amazon Prime are hands-down the worst streaming services I've used, as far as UI. Netflix was good for a couple years but has been going downhill ever since.

The rest are basically interchangeably-mediocre to me. For any of them, if I need to find what's available where, I search elsewhere (justwatch, usually). Search in their actual UI is something I only use to find things I already know exist on the service.

I guess if I had to pick a best one it'd be Hulu, but I also (unlike apparently everyone else?) think HBO's pretty good.

But I only use them on iOS, Android TV (Shield), AppleTV, and Roku. Not on PC, so maybe some of them are really bad there.

Honestly my least favorite feature of any streaming app is when clicking on a show on the main screen resumes where you left off. It's convenient for sure but being able to restart the episode before it loads the episode and then having to go back to the selection screen is nice.

But hey, at least Disney+ doesn't cause the TV to smoke, shake and fall off the wall if you want to rewind like HBO Max does.

A confounding view here though is that even though seafood contains pollutants, the benefit of high omega-3 content in some species outweighs the negative effects of the pollutants. The key is find the combo of:

- high omega-3-to-omega-6 fat ratio in the fish

- short-lived fish (low bioaccumulation)

That basically leaves you with wild salmon, (some) farmed salmon, and small/oily fishes (like sardines and some species of mackerel).
This bit of speculation goes back at least to David Eugene Smith (1925), "History of Mathematics", volume II, page 59:

"There is a possibility that the Romans avoided IV, the initials of IVPITER, just as the Hebrews avoided יה in writing 15, as the Babylonians avoided their natural form for 19, and as similar instances of reverence for or fear of deity occur in other languages."
