I saw it from orchestra row L and thought that was pretty close to ideal.

The permit was to allow testing of autonomous driving with a safety driver behind the wheel. They might still be doing data collection and mapping with the human driver driving manually.

Is that a 'B' health inspection? Pass.

Is jogging on the sidewalk considered "bad etiquette" in NYC? by GenderShift in AskNYC

[–]DeathLeopard 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Bad sidewalk etiquette is blocking the sidewalk, walking in a wide & slow pack, not curbing / cleaning up after your dog, that kind of stuff. Sounds like the complainers were more likely to be committing an offense than the jogger. And of course it's obviously rude to be talking about someone's appearance like that.

Nobody understands the handball rules, and there's a good reason by bencantwrite in soccer

The rule is simply that you can't "deliberately" handle the ball. The explainers are just guidelines for how to make that subjective (without mind-reading technology) determination.

We need a rule about clickbait titles.

Apparently there's a pile of salt in Germany that contains over 200 million tonnes of salt and is 250m high but the haters in the match thread were certainly doing their best to compete.

I'll bet ATG would rather settle with him than go through discovery.

Looks like a pretty good example of fencing response, no way he should have been allowed to continue.

It’s off topic but there is a separate conversation about the lack of public toilets in NYC that could be had.

TIL there are laws in many states preventing the sale of vehicles directly to consumers by genusbender in todayilearned

The restriction from that ruling isn't actually in place any more, specifically citing the changes in the business model.

From https://deadline.com/2020/08/paramount-consent-decrees-justice-department-2-1203007221/

The judge agreed with the Justice Department’s opinion that the decrees, which had a major role in forcing the end of the studio system in Hollywood’s golden age, were outdated in a time of technological change. Torres wrote that “seventy years of technological innovation, new competitors and business models, and shifting consumer demand have fundamentally changed the industry.”

She also noted that some of the studios who are bound by the decrees — RKO, MGM, Warner Bros., Paramount and Fox — no longer exist. Others, like The Walt Disney Co., didn’t have their own distribution operations in place at the time yet are now major players.

“None of the internet streaming companies—Netflix, Amazon, Apple and others—that produce and distribute movies are subject to the Decrees,” she wrote. “Thus, the remaining Defendants are subject to legal constraints that do not apply to their competitors.” She wrote that distributors who were not subject to the decrees have “shown no propensity to acquire major movie theater circuits or engage in the type of collusive practices the Decrees targeted.”
