I dunno where that map is from but it's wrong. Moose range extends as far south as Wyoming and I know they have them in Colorado as well. Not just the occasional sighting either, they have hunting seasons for Moose.

I'd imagine there's a few reasons for the variation in driver training between upstate NY and Wyoming.

  1. Road Speed. Here in Wyoming our highways are 65-70MPH (posted) and most of the Interstate is posted at 80MPH. You can generally figure that everyone is doing at least 5MPH over that. The higher the speed the less time you have to react and the harder it is to lightly twitch a vehicle to one side or the other.
  2. Road layout. You commented about swerving into the shoulder but most of our highways have a shoulder width of 48" or less and on the other side of the shoulder there's commonly a ditch. It has to do with the wind and snow we get here but if you twitch onto the shoulder here you are likely to encounter a very unwelcome surprise.
  3. Animal differences. In upstate New York you're dodging Whitetail deer, here you're trying to dodge Antelope (which are nearly as fast your car) Mule deer, Elk, Black bear, Brown Bear, and the occasional Moose. The bigger the animal the harder it is to dodge.

The way you describe upstate NY is how it was taught to me when I grew up in Nebraska but it's not what they advise in Wyoming. Here you stay in your lane and slow down as much as you can before impact.

Sure and living in Wyoming I've seen that happen often enough right in front of me but the more I watch this video the more I want to know how that deer GOT there.

I can see a small shrub in the dark off the (right) side of the road but somehow you can't see the deer enter the lane from either the right or left. The car in front of the Tesla is maybe 40 feet past the deer at the start of the video (watch the reflector posts) but somehow that car had no reaction to the deer standing in the middle of the lane?!

Is there a longer video anywhere? Looking closely I have to wonder where the hell did that deer come from?

I have the same question. If you watch the video closely the deer is located a few feet before the 2nd reflector post you see at the start of the video. At that point in time the car in front is maybe 20' beyond the post which means they should have encountered the deer within the last 30-40 feet but there was no reaction visible.

You can also see both the left and right sides of the road at the reflector well before the deer is visible, you can even make out a small shrub off the road on the right, and but somehow can't see the deer enter the road from either side?!

It's like the thing just teleported into the middle of the lane.

The more I watch this the more suspicious I am that the video was edited.

A human could probably see it as an obstacle and try to swerve to the side, albeit not knowing what it is.

Attempting to swerve aside at that speed results in over correction, followed by loss of control and then a rollover crash. Happens all the time to people who aren't aware / don't remember that you're supposed to hit deer head on.

Oh? Which test flight demonstrated that?

[–] Buelldozer@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

Which is pretty damn sad and proves what every US President since Clinton said regarding Europe's staggeringly myopic lack of military funding.

That's what THIS fight is about. Qualcomm bought Nuvia and in a nutshell they believe that they acquired Nuvia's ARM license with that purchase, now they're starting to sell chip designs that were done by Nuvia using their ARM license. ARM disagrees that Nuvia's license transferred to Qualcomm and so here we are.

The reason ARM is freaking out about this is because ARM sells functional designs and that's what Qualcomm is starting to do with what they bought from Nuvia. Historically ARM has sold designs and Qualcomm sold chips but now ARM wants to start selling chips and Qualcomm wants to start selling designs.

ARM may still be the good guy but they are not what / who they used to be. Softbank, the Japanese owner of ARM, has been losing its ass on tech investments and they want $$$. This is why ARM did their IPO last fall.

Both ARM and Qualcomm now have the same fiscal pressures so they're going to start acting in a similar fashion.

Eh, nobody is going to get banned (at least not from my instance) as long as it stays inbounds.

There are well understood reasons why sexual abusers cluster into certain jobs, such as priests, but they are commonly found all over the world in every social, political, and economic class. The truth is that for for every Jerry Sandusky or Vince McMahon you hear about there's 100, or even 1000, non-famous people that you don't hear about.

What is the deal with all these damn rapists.

The sexual abuse of children is vastly more common than many people want to believe. It happens all over the world and it isn't confined to any particular group or class.

Odds are good it’s using facebook or some other cancer to perform this evil.

You really need to read the entire article. Turning off your WiFi and deleting Facebook isn't going to fix this.

ARM is mad because Qualcomm bought Nuvia (which had their own ARM license) and then started using Nuvia's designs. ARM says that Qualcomm needs to renegotiate the license in order to use those designs.

Normally ARM and Qualcomm would handle this fairly smoothly, the reason its not happening this time is because ARM and Qualcomm both have growth plans that are increasingly making them direct competitors.
