Here are 2017 numbers (ok...only 96% that year). https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/...

Same author, same BS.

"one study suggests that helmet use may reduce the risk of head injury by 83%"

That one study has been thoroughly debunked...yet decades later it still gets cited.

99% of bike fatalities involve car crashes. There is no styrofoam helmet which will protect against that, and the VaTech test notably does not model that type of crash.

To my knowledge, the only group that tried to test bike helmets against a car is Volvo -- and all helmets failed.

My son took CS10 a couple years ago, and even I (Masters in EECS from UCB) struggled with some really obtuse multiple-guess questions he showed me on the homeworks. Much of the classwork is done in Snap, a weird and stupid graphical "programming" language. If 1/3 of the students are failing, that may have more to do with the professor.

Enterprise Mac still has occasional problems -- mainly due to Microsoft crapware IT departments insist on installing.

A series of Youtube videos critical of Battleborn batteries has now led to a lawsuit by Dragonfly Energy.

The CBOSS fiasco, which added $200 million in costs, certainly can't be blamed on Atherton.

There are some trials underway testing that hypothesis.

An almost identical security issue in iterm2 reported 6 years ago:

Nice idea, except the actual mapper site requires a google login to view.

I can find only a single paper making this claim about marathoners. And that study has attracted a lot of criticism.

By that you mean the fines should be made much higher, right? Because traffic crashes have a huge economic cost.

they cannot use that fact against you to prove it was in fact you driving- they have to prove that independently.

5th amendment protections are much weaker for civil cases though.

For those who don't get the joke:

IANAL but she could also have a good case that it will be impossible for her to get a fair trial.

Some potential jurors will have seen these doctored photos. With the prosecution putting out obviously false info then it calls into question their credibility and any other evidence presented at trial.

Yes, but local permitting is a complete shitshow. For example, I should be able to plug in a simple balcony-solar system, but my PUC prohibits the technology.

Literally car-brained.

So Retinox5 from Star Trek?

That was the second one (Reloaded). Filmed in downtown Oakland and Alameda Naval air station.

Suspended sentence…not prison.

Winterkorn has spent the past decade getting various postponements in his trial. Now that he is approaching 80 it is unlikely he will suffer any serious punishment.

The headline says "execs" but I don't see any Board members getting prison terms. Martin Winterkorn, the CEO, has basically escaped prosecution altogether.

However, it may violate the state's Electronic Communication Privacy Act.

Ok, but which earns more profit? Ford's EV division overall loses $5+ billion per year.

Mobile broadband uses public airwaves, which is entirely FCC jurisdiction.

From what I saw in the rebuttal papers, the Google cost-function is wirelength based. You can still get good TNS from that if your timing is very simplistic -- or if you choose your benchmark carefully.
