GMail was definitely best in class for web mail when it rolled out, and if something has taken its lead, I don't know what it is.

I'm not sure I would go that far. Some considered Slotin's methods dangerous: 'Enrico Fermi himself had warned Slotin that he would be “dead within a year” if he continued'.

It's easy to understand. Open plan offices have the advantage of being cheaper, and the disadvantage of harming productivity. The cost savings are immediately apparent and easily attributed. Productivity hits (or gains) come later, are harder to assign a utility to, and are harder to attribute.

I dunno, if you have been gestating a foal, you might be a little undernourished at the end of the process, so a placenta's worth of nutrients might then be "vital."

"Third, a city-level analysis such as ours does not suffer from a common problem with individual-level studies, namely that individuals exposed to lead typically come from poor neighborhoods with both low-quality housing and high crime rates. Common confounders of the lead-crime relationship in individual-level studies pose less of a problem in our city-level study, where in most cases the entire city population was exposed to lead through water."

From the sound of it, "do nothing" would be no less effective, and a bit cheaper.

Why do you need data for somewhere the car may never go? The car knows where it's going; it can get the data it needs when it needs it.

Oh, man, the comments section on that article is a dog's breakfast.

I think that's a neat idea, but I personally would be nervous about smearing grease all over my tablet, or spilling fluids on it, or dropping it -- something that happens to almost every other tool at one point or another.
As a reference away from the garage, it would be cool, but I would still want something I would feel safe having by my side as I work on the car.

You might want to pick up the Chilton's or Haynes manual for your vehicle and start from there. Most of these manuals will have a section describing how you perform basic maintenance on the vehicle.
It's how I learned.

That's the lovely thing about this piece. Often times when I read these thinkpieces, I know a bit about the author and his or her biases, and have to exercise some discipline to not let that color my opinion of the article too much.
I've never heard of Sonny Bunch, so in this case it is pretty easy.

The latter won't matter if they do as my pack did, where each race had three heats and each car raced in all three lanes.
But yeah, get your wheels right and polish the heck out of your axles.

It takes only a small amount of induction to conclude that given the number of death row exonerations pre-execution, there almost certainly have been innocent persons executed.
If you hold out for conclusive proof, you will probably not find it, as it's a bit of a fool's errand to attempt to exonerate a dead man when you could devote that effort to exonerating one who the state has not yet committed manslaughter upon.

Yes, of course.
However, the primary evidence we have that Glossip ordered the killing is the testimony of the guy who actually did the deed, and who avoided a death sentence in exchange for that testimony. It's a little fishy.

Not the founding team. Some guys who contributed 10-20 hours one time.
The guys who built the MVP.
