Submission + - SPAM: Tens of Thousands of Malicious Apps Using Facebook APIs

lod123 writes: At least 25,936 malicious apps are currently using one of Facebook’s APIs, such as a login API or messaging API. These allow apps to access a range of information from Facebook profiles, like name, location and email address.
Trustlook discovered the malicious apps using a formula, which created a risk score for apps based on more than 80 pieces of information for each app, including permissions, libraries, risky API calls and network activity.

Agreed. According to the article, Tesla claims that the forward looking camera may have had difficulty distinguishing the white truck from the sky. What is concerning is that it appears Tesla is using cameras for forward collision detection. Why not something less prone to noise from sunlight, like Ultrasound or laser rangefinding? Relying solely on cameras is worrying in my opinion.

While this decision to allow homosexual people to marry is to be praised, there are groups of other people still being discriminated against and prevented from marrying even though they love and commit to each other.

A good example of a group still being discriminated against are consenting adults who wish to marry into polygamous relationships. Why do these people not deserve the same rights and protections as homosexual and heterosexual people?

Yes, the Chevy Volt mostly does this. It operates in Series Hybrid mode (ie. uses a 1.4L ICE with 9 gallon tank to charge the battery) when speeds are low and switches to a sort of parallel hybrid mode when speeds are higher. The Chevy Volt gets a combined 37MPG when driven in this mode.

A true series Hybrid, like the BMW i3 ReX utilizes a much smaller 0.4L ICE with a 1.9 gallon tank to charge the battery and give you an additional 92 miles of range on gasoline.
