Podcast appearances and mentions of Ford Pinto

SCHOCKER MIT SCHLOGGER | Folge 19: Cujo Wenn "Ein Hund namens Beethoven" plötzlich Aggressionsprobleme entwickelt und einer Mutter samt ihrem kleinen Sohn das (Über-)Leben in einem alten Ford Pinto zur Hölle macht, dann kann das nur auf das Konto von Stephen King gehen. Und wenn sich Schlogger diesen Horrortrip anschaut und anschließend mit Stu darüber spricht, dann heißt das: "Schocker mit Schlogger" ist zurück! In der Juli-Ausgabe 2025 sprechen die beiden über den Tierhorror-Klassiker "Cujo" von 1983 – inklusive eines Stargasts aus dem Film und wie immer mit frischen Eindrücken zu aktuellen Horrorfilmen. Wird das unterhaltsam? Keine Frage. Viel Vergnügen! Eine Übersicht aller Episoden von Schocker mit Schlogger findet ihr hier. Trailer Werdet Teil unserer Community und besucht unseren Discord-Server!

This week the GBGBs review The Last Stop in Yuma County, a neat lil indie flick starring Jim Cummings. The movie is about a traveling knife salesman getting trapped at a diner with a pair of bank robbers and a handful of locals and hijinks ensue. If any folks want to actually see this movie, we'd recommend NOT watching the trailer and going in cold.    Also discussed: heists, exploding dye-packs in money bags, and the history of the Ford Pinto.    Thanks for stopping by!  

Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero Analizamos un buzón del oyente muy interesante: Mi nombre es Gabriel. Trabajo como ingeniero electrónico en el área de e-powertrain en una conocida empresa del sector de la automoción situada en Tarragona. Lo primero que me gustaría transmitiros es mi más sincera enhorabuena por el programa: os escucho todas las semanas en diferido, en formato podcast, mientras conduzco. Os escribo en referencia a la entrevista que realizasteis con un ingeniero de CESVIMAP. Hacía tiempo que quería escribiros, y esta es la excusa perfecta para compartir algo con vosotros. Es cierto que los incendios en baterías de iones de litio son bastante más difíciles de extinguir, debido a los productos inflamables que contienen y al hecho de que, durante la combustión, generan su propio oxígeno, lo que alimenta el fuego. Sin embargo, sí es posible extinguirlos por completo. Os dejo un vídeo en este mismo correo para que podáis ver la efectividad de un producto desarrollado hace unos años. ¿Cuál es el verdadero problema, especialmente en nuestro querido país? El de siempre: que la administración pública esté dispuesta a rascarse el bolsillo para salvar vidas. Por otra parte, me gustaría añadir que las baterías de los vehículos eléctricos son cada vez más seguras. La industria está virando hacia el uso de baterías de litio ferrofosfato (LFP), mucho más estables químicamente y más seguras en caso de impacto, lo cual reducirá aún más la ya baja tasa de incendios. F-500 apagando un incendio de batería de VE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81j7NYB50LU La alarma social en torno a los incendios de coches eléctricos recuerda al viejo mito del Ford Pinto: muchos creen que cualquier batería de iones-litio puede estallar en cualquier esquina. Sin embargo, los incendios en estos vehículos son estadísticamente poco frecuentes y, cuando ocurren, su extinción exige técnicas especiales porque el electrolito inflamable y la fuga térmica generan su propio oxígeno y alimentan la llama. Aun así, existen tecnologías capaces de sofocar un fuego de batería por completo. Un vídeo grabado en Corea muestra un prototipo que, tras provocar deliberadamente un thermal runaway (reacción en cadena de celdas que prenden una tras otra), logra extinguir las llamas en apenas ocho minutos gracias a un agente encapsulante que actúa a escala molecular, suprime vapores inflamables, enfría con rapidez y aisla el oxígeno. El sistema coreano introduce una manguera bajo el coche e inyecta el producto casi de inmediato; la coordinación de los bomberos y la química aceleran el proceso. Ese F-500 no es un caso aislado: en España se ha desarrollado un compuesto análogo llamado Ecofighting, fabricado con ingredientes naturales y probado en el circuito de Castellolí. Aunque la documentación pública es escasa, las demostraciones han dejado patente su eficacia y su potencial para incorporarse a los equipos de extinción europeos, reduciendo el riesgo que asumen los bomberos al enfrentarse a vehículos 100 % eléctricos o híbridos enchufables. La dificultad real no reside tanto en la batería principal como en la infraestructura que la rodea. Los garajes españoles —regidos todavía por la normativa de 1992— carecen de ventilación forzada suficiente, sprinklers sobre cada plaza y sistemas de detección temprana. Son espacios angostos concebidos para utilitarios de hace treinta años, hoy ocupados por turismos de cinco metros y dos toneladas. Un fuego, sea en un depósito de gasolina o en un paquete de baterías, se vuelve casi inabordable si han pasado más de 60 segundos sin intervención: la visibilidad es nula, el calor altísimo y la propagación a los vehículos contiguos casi inevitable. Paradójicamente, la inmensa mayoría de los incendios en coches estacionados —térmicos o eléctricos— nace en la instalación de 12 V: bornes flojos, cableados envejecidos o cargadores embarcados que trabajan el 93 % de la vida del vehículo porque éste pasa las horas conectado. El problema se agrava a medida que Wallboxes y cargadores acumulan años de servicio; nadie garantiza que un dispositivo enchufado de forma permanente funcione sin fallar durante veinticinco años. Cuando un chispazo en esa red auxiliar prende los insonorizantes, el fuego avanza hasta el vano principal y, si alcanza la batería de tracción, la situación degenera. Algunos aparcamientos de nueva construcción —hubs subterráneos de recarga— ya integran barreras cortafuegos entre plazas y rociadores automáticos que inundan la zona en los primeros instantes; allí es “literalmente imposible” que un incidente se vuelva catastrófico. Pero son contadas excepciones: la ausencia de regulación específica para garajes convierte cada sótano en una lotería. Aun así, la industria no se queda quieta. Muchos fabricantes han diseñado puertos de inundación accesibles a bomberos: basta acoplar la manguera para que el chorro vaya directo al módulo y lo anegue. Otros migran rápidamente a baterías de litio-ferrofosfato (LFP), químicamente más estables, con menor densidad energética pero escasísima propensión al incendio. Mientras la tecnología avanza, la Administración sigue sin dotar a los cuerpos de extinción de agentes encapsulantes suficientes ni de la formación asociada, alegando presupuesto. La paradoja es evidente: salvar un parking entero y, sobre todo, vidas humanas, cuesta menos que asumir los daños de un gran incendio. La solución lógica —aspersores, detección temprana, compartimentación y productos como F-500 o Ecofighting— debería instalarse en cada edificio nuevo y adaptarse a los antiguos. Aun con estas carencias, los vehículos actuales ya incorporan cortafuegos electrónicos. El Battery Management System desconecta la batería al detectar anomalías, y antes de que el fuego sea visible suele haber humo, olor y pequeños destellos, una cortesía que brinda minutos para evacuar a los ocupantes. En caso de accidente grave, el protocolo es claro: extraer a las personas cuanto antes, porque un impacto que perfora una batería es tan violento que la prioridad es médica, no mecánica. El parque eléctrico crecerá y envejecerá, lo que hace urgente revisar estándares de seguridad pasiva en garajes, endurecer la homologación de cargadores y planificar revisiones periódicas de Wallboxes. Mientras tanto, conocer la química del fuego, emplear enemigos adecuados —encapsulantes en lugar de miles de litros de agua— y modernizar nuestras infraestructuras son pasos imprescindibles para reducir el miedo, fundamentado o no, que rodea al coche eléctrico. En definitiva, los incendios no distinguen entre gasolina y kilovatios; distinguen entre prevención y dejadez. La administración debe trascender la retórica y equipar a los bomberos con la tecnología disponible, la industria ha de seguir refinando diseños y química de baterías, y la ciudadanía necesita información rigurosa para reemplazar el alarmismo por prudencia. Sólo así el vehículo eléctrico consolidará su seguridad intrínseca, y la pirotecnia mediática dará paso a una realidad mucho más serena.

On August 9, 1990, Donna Dickey's Thursday began like any other. The 32-year-old mother followed her usual payday routine: cashing her check, grabbing a meal from Burger King, and enjoying her food while feeding ducks at Silver Lake Park. Tragically, this would be the last time Donna followed this routine. The next morning, her strangled, half-naked body was discovered near Lower Bucks Hospital in Bristol, with her 1973 gold Ford Pinto close by. What transpired in the hours after Donna left the park, and who could commit such a heartless act?

Déjà pointé du doigt pour plusieurs défaillances techniques, le Cybertruck de Tesla fait à nouveau parler de lui pour des raisons bien plus inquiétantes. Selon FuelArc, site spécialisé dans les voitures électriques, le pick-up électrique d'Elon Musk présenterait un risque d'incendie mortel 17 fois supérieur à celui de la Ford Pinto, tristement célèbre pour ses explosions dans les années 1970. Depuis son lancement, le Cybertruck a déjà fait l'objet de plusieurs rappels, concernant notamment les essuie-glaces, les pédales d'accélération et la batterie. De nombreux propriétaires rapportent avoir vu leur véhicule remplacé sans explication par Tesla. Mais c'est surtout la sécurité incendie qui suscite les plus vives inquiétudes. D'après FuelArc, cinq décès liés à des incendies impliquant le Cybertruck ont été recensés sur la dernière année.« Nous disposons désormais d'une année complète de données et d'une étrange prépondérance de Cybertrucks prenant feu, entraînant plusieurs décès. C'est plus qu'il n'en faut pour établir une comparaison avec la Ford Pinto », affirme un analyste du site.Pour parvenir à cette estimation, FuelArc a croisé deux indicateurs :-le nombre de véhicules vendus, estimé à 34 438 Cybertrucks, contre 3 173 491 Ford Pinto commercialisées jusqu'à l'arrêt du modèle en 1980.-le nombre d'incendies mortels signalés pour chaque modèle.Résultat : FuelArc calcule un taux de décès par incendie de 14,52 pour 100 000 Cybertrucks, contre 0,85 pour la Pinto, un chiffre alarmant.Des chiffres à relativiser cependant. Tesla ne communique pas officiellement sur les volumes exacts de production et de ventes du Cybertruck. FuelArc s'appuie donc sur les estimations d'un expert indépendant.Autre sujet de préoccupation : le Cybertruck n'a jamais été soumis aux crash-tests indépendants de la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), l'agence américaine de sécurité routière. Tesla n'a d'ailleurs pas publié les résultats de ses propres tests internes, laissant planer le doute sur la sécurité réelle de son imposant véhicule de plus de trois tonnes. Bien qu'il ait été présenté en France, le Cybertruck n'est toujours pas autorisé sur les routes hexagonales. Plusieurs obstacles réglementaires et techniques empêchent pour l'instant sa commercialisation, tandis que les interrogations autour de sa sécurité et de sa fiabilité persistent. Hébergé par Acast.

Jason and Derek review their top 10 best (and worst) experiences behind the wheel in 2024. Everything from ulta-rare Porsches, to open-air Lamborghinis, manual-swapped Mercedes (and Ferraris), supercars, hypercars, rally icons, and more! === The Carmudgeon Show Sponsor, Vredestein Tires: https://www.vredestein.com/ Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev === Christmas comes early for us this year (but not quite in time for this episode) in the form of 6 brand new sets of dutch rubber courtesy of our sponsor, Vredestein Tires!  The Curmudgeon's then continue with a discussion about each Carmudgeon's Grandmother's vehicular preferences, which included the likes of the Ford Pinto, AMC Pacer, ‘87 Chevy Cavalier, Saturn SL1, ‘99 Nissan Sentra, Dodge Aries K-car, Dodge Duster 340, and Buick Wildcat.  Then we briefly revel in some sweet, sweet vindication after Car and Driver named the Tesla Model 3 to their 10 Best list, but rejected the G20 BMW 3-Series (as it had the F30 before it) and specifically the G80 M3. The Cadillac CT4 and CT5 Blackwing both made this list, alongside a handful of perennial stalwarts like the Honda Civic, Honda Accord, and GR86/BRZ twins. Afterwards, we recount hanging with Jay Leno while filming 3 separate episodes of Jay Leno's Garage featuring Jason's Mk2 VW Scirocco 16V, E30 BMW 325i Touring, and E31 850 CSi.  And finally, it's time to talk best drives of the year! The boys loved three Ferraris: the 296 GTB, 360 Challenge Stradale (manual-swapped), and F50. Plus one car from Enzo's nemesis: the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster.  Then, Jason and Derek include wwo Porsches: the 992.1-chassis 911 S/T and 964 Carrera RS 3.8. Both the Bugatti EB110 GT and Veyron made the list, as did another Piëch-era favorite: the VW XL1.  Speaking of VWs, the 1964 Beetle and new ID.Buzz both made the cut as well. What would a Carmudgeon episode be without a smattering of Mercedes products? The W209 CLK63 Black Series (manual-converted), W201 190E 2.5-16, C126 560SEC, and a W124 300E with a Mosselman twin-turbo kit and Zender body!  Two EVs even made the list: the incredible Lucid Air Sapphire and spunky Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Plus some exquisite lightweights: the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint 1300, Lotus Exige V6 Cup, and Lancia Stratos. The worst drives of the year? That honor goes to the disappointing Pagani Zonda and 4-cylinder W206 Mercedes-AMG C63. We end wondering how to rack up miles behind the wheel of our favorite vintage cars safely. One thing we can all agree we need? More time off!   Happy Holidays! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is there a better name for the head of the College Football Playoff committee than Warde? Joe Burrow bought a Batmobile and has thought about pulling up to a game dressed as Batman, but Greg Cote is not very happy about it. Can Joe Burrow make losing cool? Mike Ryan is wearing slacks, and Greg Cote doesn't want to even get started on the Ford Pinto. What was Greg Cote's fourth car? Plus, Smetty and Mike Ryan want Greg to read their new book 50 Shades Of Greg, but, after reading a passage, Greg is refusing to in order to uphold his journalistic integrity. Also, we continue our discussion about the College Football Playoff and revisit Mike Ryan's takes from yesterday including that Syracuse is just as good as Alabama and South Carolina should be in the Playoff.

Joey King was running late, juggling a coffee cup and her nearly-dead phone. Suddenly, a sleek, retro-styled hoverboard—shaped like a Ford Pinto but modernized with neon accents—appeared beside her.“Need a lift?” it asked, its voice calm and friendly. She hesitated, then climbed on, gripping the chrome handlebars. The hoverboard zipped forward, smoothly weaving through traffic, making Joey feel like she was flying.As they neared her destination, Joey couldn't shake the strange feeling this ride gave her. “Why'd you stop for me?” she asked.The hoverboard's voice softened. “I sensed you were going to do something drastic—something that would change who you are. You don't need that to feel beautiful.”Joey blinked, caught off guard. She had been planning to stop by a plastic surgery clinic after her meeting."But...why do you care?" she whispered.“Because beauty isn't what others say it is. It's in the journey—and from where I hover, you're exactly as you should be.”As Joey stepped off, something inside her felt lighter. With a soft hum, the Pinto-like hoverboard floated away, leaving her with a smile and a renewed sense of self. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lee Strobel, award-winning investigative journalist and best-selling author, joins us to discuss his incredible journey from atheism to faith. In this episode, we explore Lee's early career at the Chicago Tribune, where he broke major stories like the Ford Pinto scandal, and his academic path through journalism and law. Lee opens up about his personal life, including his strained relationship with his father and the turning point when his wife, Leslie, became a Christian. Motivated by her faith, Lee set out to investigate the evidence for Christianity, using his journalistic skills to disprove it—only to find the compelling evidence that led him to embrace faith himself. We also discuss the profound impact of his book The Case for Christ and the journey it inspired in his life and work. Join us for an inspiring conversation about truth, faith, and the power of investigation. Each week, Tim and Troy will sit down with interesting people to have thoughtful conversations. The guests will range from celebrities, athletes, academics, doctors, authors, and more. As Tim battles his ALS diagnosis, nothing is out of bounds and there will be nothing left unsaid.

El mundo del motor es un mundo lleno de leyendas y, como no, de leyendas “negras” que afectan a muchos modelos. Pero la pregunta es ¿cuánto hay de verdad en ello? Pues vamos a verlo… porque hay de todo. He elegido estás 10 porque me han parecido las más interesantes, algunas por ser muy conocidas, algunas por ser verdaderas y algunas… por ser falsas, muy falsas… Vamos con ellas. 1. BMW 323i, fabricante de viudas. Muchos coches, por distintos motivos, se han ganado la fama de “fabricante de viudas” como este BMW 323i de la serie E30, fabricada entre 1982 y 1994. ¿Los motivos? El primero es obvio: ¡No había nada de electrónica salvadora! Segundo, hablamos de un modelo de propulsión posterior, con relativamente poco peso en el tren trasero y potente. Porque 150 CV en 1982 y para apenas 1.100 kg, eran caballos. Y tercero, el motor 2,3 litros de 6 cilindros no tenía muchos bajos y necesitaba ir alto de vueltas para ofrecer su mejor rendimiento. Pero considero que en este caso la leyenda negra es… ¡FALSA! 2. Citroën DS, “golpe de raqueta”. Soy fan absoluto, ya lo sabéis, de la suspensión hidroneumática… pero en una de sus primeras aplicaciones, en el DS, no todo era perfecto. Los DS en los saltos, aunque fueran unos instantes los momentos en que la rueda no tocaba el suelo, en vez de minimiza el salto, lo incrementaban… un efecto que se dio en llamar “golpe de raqueta”, porque era como si dieses un raquetazo al coche por abajo. Así que, en este caso, esta leyenda negra es… ¡VERDADERA! 3. Daihatsu Terios. ¡Peligroso! En 1998 Daihatsu quiso hacer un SUV, ¡cómo no! pequeño y asequible. Y diseño el Terios… más bien lo perpetró. Porque es una marca por la que tengo simpática, pero hacer un coche de más de 1,7 m de alto y menos, bastante menos de 1,6 metros de ancho… no puede salir bien. Así que, esta leyenda negra es… ¡VERDADERA! 4. Fiat Ritmo Diesel: Se caía el motor. En 1980 Fiat lanza el Fiat Ritmo con motor Diesel, un motor de 1.7 litros y 55 CV que había sido usado en el Fiat 132, pero colocando longitudinalmente. Los soportes del motor en la cuna del bastidor, los famosos “silentblocks” se deterioraban rápidamente de forma que desaparecían y el motor se “caía” … Conozco dos casos, así que esta leyenda negra es… ¡¡¡VERDADERA!!! 5. Ford Escort Cabrio, chasis “flexible”. Se dice que el bastidor del Ford Escort Cabrio, el de la tercera generación aparecido alrededor de 1985, tenía el chasis de “goma”, que se retorcía fácilmente. En este caso, la leyenda negra es… ¡VERDADERA! 6. Ford Pinto: “Ardiente”. Henry Ford II quería un coche barato y asequible. Y lo quería ya. Y en 1971, diseñado a toda prisa, nace el Ford Pinto. Las prisas nunca son buenas. Y un periodista norteamericano denunció que en caso de impacto trasero el Ford Pinto era proclive a incendiarse… la marca lo desmintió. Luego se supo que esta denuncia era absolutamente cierta y que Ford lo sabía. O sea, que esta leyenda negra es… ¡¡¡VERDADERA!!! 7. Lancia Thema Ferrari, ¡inconducible! Este coche era casi desconocido para los no-aficionados… hasta el accidente del jugador de baloncesto Fernando Martín, una celebridad a finales de los 80 en España. Lo contamos con detalle en nuestro reciente vídeo de “Coches “asesinos””. En este caso, esta leyenda negra es… ¡FALSA! 8. Porsche 911, lastrado. Cuando nació el Porsche 911 tenía un comportamiento del tren delantero errático y delicado… el drama era que el 356, el modelo “viejo” al que el 911 sustituía iba mejor. Dieron muchas vueltas al asunto … y lo resolvieron. ¿Cómo? Colocando dos lastres de 11 kg cada uno en el paragolpes delantero… tecnología “refinada” ... Esto trato de ocultarse, pero esta leyenda negra es… ¡¡¡VERDADERA!!! 9. Reliant Regal… ¡Patas arriba! Este es uno de los modelos nacidos cuando la normativa de Gran Bretaña ofrecía ventajas fiscales a los coches de 3 ruedas… una forma como otra cualquiera de fomentar que se hagan coches malos y peligrosos. Así que, sin duda, esta leyenda negra es ¡VERDADERA! 10. R5 GT “Turbo” … ¡Que entra el turbo! - “Llegué a una curva, me entró de repente el turbo y me salí de la calzada”. - “Iba por ciudad y al frenar me entro el turbo y me choque con el coche de delante… ¡y eso que llevaba el punto muerto!”. - “Aceleré solo un poco y el coche salió disparado hacia adelante… y me estrellé con el guardarraíl”. Estas son frases reales. Es cierto que el R5 Turbo tenía dos pecados. El primero, muy turbo, es que la respuesta al acelerador, a igual presión, no era siempre la misma. Pero el mayor pescado era ofrecer a un precio muy interesante un coche con un nivel de prestaciones nunca visto. Su relación precio/prestaciones era imbatible en su época. Y lo ponía al alcance de conductores no muy expertos… Así que en este caso podemos decir que la leyenda negra del GT Turbo es… ¡FALSA!

Today we'll be attending the most prestigious vehicle race in the world. You think that sound exciting, well just wait for the off-roading portion.On this episode: we'll take a look at the only car ever compared to a barbecue; we're taking in the only sporting event in history that was later compared by the press to the holocaust; and you'll hear about the first accidental public use of an unintentional horizontal guillotine.Also, if you had been listening to this as a Patreon supporter, you would enjoy an additional 9 minutes where we discussed the upper limits of human reaction time; you would get to meet America's most physically damaged stuntman; you would also be treated to more Dodge Caravan Math than you could fly a rocket bike over; you would learn about a non-sexual, full body invisible burning phenomena; and on-topic, we will look at the history of strange ways people have died at today's events, just in different years.I start this episode with a quaint tale of surviving a highway crash in a Ford Pinto of all things, cover you in minced spectator, and by the end I am going to teach you the horrific fate of drug abuser and former hockey legend, Tim Horton. In the middle, I'm going to do my best to show you in every way possible how automotive racing is the most dangerous sport imaginable, and then why your daily commute is 1,000x duller and even deadlier. RIP my three dead cars. If the idea of getting episodes a little early and ad-free with ridiculously interesting extra material strikes you as a good thing, you can find out more at:www.patreon.com/funeralkazoo All older episodes can be found on any of your favorite channelsApple : https://tinyurl.com/5fnbumdw Spotify : https://tinyurl.com/73tb3uuw IHeartRadio : https://tinyurl.com/vwczpv5j Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w Stitcher : https://tinyurl.com/mcyxt6vw Google : https://tinyurl.com/3fjfxatt Spreaker : https://tinyurl.com/fm5y22su Podchaser : https://tinyurl.com/263kda6w RadioPublic : https://tinyurl.com/w67b4kec PocketCasts. : https://pca.st/ef1165v3 CastBox : https://tinyurl.com/4xjpptdr Breaker. : https://tinyurl.com/4cbpfayt Deezer. : https://tinyurl.com/5nmexvwt Follow us on the socials for moreFacebook : www.facebook.com/doomsdaypodcast Instagram : www.instagram.com/doomsdaypodcast Twitter : www.twitter.com/doomsdaypodcast If you like the idea of your podcast hosts wearing more than duct tape and bits of old Halloween costumes for clothes and can spare a buck or two, you can now buy me a coffee at www.buymeacoffee.com/doomsday or join the patreon at www.funeralkazoo.com/doomsday

Matthew Scherer makes the case for bottom-up AI adoption, being OK with not using AI, innovation as a relative good, and transparently safeguarding workers' rights. Matthew champions a worker-led approach to AI adoption in the workplace. He traverses the slippery slope from safety to surveillance and guards against unnecessarily intrusive solutions. Matthew then illustrates why AI isn't great at making employment decisions; even in objectively data rich environments such as the NBA. He also addresses the intractable problem of bias in hiring and flawed comparisons between humans and AI. We discuss the unquantifiable dynamics of human interactions and being OK with our inability to automate hiring and firing. Matthew explains how the patchwork of emerging privacy regulations reflects cultural norms towards workers. He invokes the Ford Pinto (good) and the Titan submersible catastrophe (bad) when challenging the concept of innovation as an intrinsic good. Matthew then makes the case for transparency as a gateway to enforcing existing civil rights and laws. Matthew Scherer is a Senior Policy Counsel for Workers' Rights and Technology at the Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT). He studies how emerging technologies affect workers in the workplace and labor market.   Matt is also an Advisor for the International Center for Advocates Against Discrimination. A transcript of this episode is here.

Your Honda, Acura, Hyundai or Kia is selling driving data to insurance companies as an excuse to hurt enthusiasts. And that is disgusting. UPDATE: General Motors has cancelled its OnStar Smart Driver System, which means you can safely keep driving your Blackwing like it was meant to be driven. === Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-Rev === It has recently come to light that three major auto manufacturers have been selling consumer driving data to LexisNexis so that it can be sold to your insurance company and used against you to raise your rates or cancel your insurance. Not only is this a gross violation of your expectation of privacy, but it's also a flawed reporting system. This is especially difficult for Jason, since he so enthusiastically recommends many Honda and Hyundai products — and now has to backtrack. The Civic Type R is off his shopping list together with all Honda, Acura, Hyundai, and Kia products, until their manufacturers can ensure drivers that their data is not being shared. **NOTE: This episode was recorded before Jason drove the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.** Of course, the Carmudgeons don't stop complaining just there, but then go onto a discussion of "corporate conscience" and ethics in engineering including Volkswagen's Dieselgate, the Challenger space ship, the Ford Pinto, and of course Boeing.

Back home, in an attempt to piece together John's fractured timeline, Edie makes indirect contact with a woman who knew John during his Baton Rouge days. She shares a tale starting in San Francisco and ending with five hippies getting pulled over at 2 a.m. in Texas, where John truthfully tells the cop that he's hurrying back to the mental hospital. "They came REALLY close to finding the acid," the woman says of John's substantial business inventory. "I was SO pissed at John that I didn't want to see him any more after that."   Edie soon books a weekend trip to meet Rachel and her small family in Austin. She spends several days focusing on her new sister, which serves as a needed reset following four months of chasing John's dead leads in an attempt to solve a frustrating DNA puzzle.   Get your signed edition of The Little Girl at the Bottom of the Picture: A Journey of Selfless Discovery at LittleGirlBook.com.

In short: will anything change?Clarification: Julie says that shortly after the hearing, Meta's stock price had the biggest increase of any company in the stock market's history. It was the biggest one-day gain by any company in Wall Street history.Correction: Frances says it takes Snap three or four minutes to take down exploitative content.

In 1971 the Ford Pinto was released into the world and soon earned a reputation for being a car that explodes. Despite having that knowledge, the smart guys at Advanced Vehicle Engineers decided to attach a Pinto to a plane to create a flying car. They created the AVE Mizar which took flight in 1973. Also in this episode we'll be covering inventors who were killed by their own inventions and comedians who died while performing.Our sponsor for this episode is Magic Mind!

Software Process and Measurement Cast 783 tackles a classic work intake problem, “Do you have the authority to ask for this work?” Work input processes need to vet more than just requirements.  We also have a visit from Jon M Quigley. Jon and I discussed taking control of your personal growth. It is not your organization's responsibility.  Re-Read Saturday News Chapter 10 of is titled, The Red-Blue Operating System. Marquet starts this chapter with the cautionary tale of the Ford Pinto. The chapter highlights the outcome of the industrial approach to leadership going wrong. My wife had a Pinto when we first started dating. It was our only car and we both remember waiting for it to be recalled, even as we drove to work every morning. We discussed the potential of the fuel tank exploding. What we were oblivious to was the reason for the problem. The failure of leadership and the failure of the decision-making model literally sentenced people to death to achieve a goal.   Previous installments of our re-read of (buy a copy)!

Work input, which includes prioritization and sequencing, is how work gets to an organization or team. If you get it wrong you are throwing time and money away. Simply put, poor work intake means no agile for you. Jeremy Willets and I have written tackling the topic that JRoss Publishing will publish in January 2024. In support of the book, we are building a live, workshop-based course for anyone involved in deciding on what work gets completed!  This includes Agile Coaches, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Project Managers, Program Managers, and Portfolio Managers - lots of people are involved which is part of the problem! The workshop will cover why work intake is the biggest challenge to teams and organizations today. Attendees will also learn what to do to solve this challenge. This cohort-based course will combine very short lectures, discussions, and exercises. It will provide space to learn and share with peers. We're using a survey to build a waitlist for the first cohort – link below. We will use the list to alert you when the workshop is available.     Next SPaMCAST  Software Process and Measurement Cast 784 will feature our interview with Michaele Gardner and Brian Hackerson. We talked about Agile Best Self and being in control of our agile.  

Ya sabéis que siempre estoy del lado del automóvil, que soy positivo y procuro defender a su industria, pero… ¡es que a veces las marcas las lían pardas! Hemos hablado de coches peligrosos, de coches que fueron una ruina pero hoy toca hablar de escándalos. Llevaba tiempo detrás de hacer este podcast… pero me daba reparos. Y he decido que no, que hay que contar las cosas. Estar a favor del mundo del motor “no es comulgar con ruedas de molino”. Y es que, sinceramente, hay escándalos que han hecho mucho daño a la imagen de la industria del automóvil y al automóvil mismo. 1. Ford Pinto: Por 11 dólares. (1974) Pongámonos en antecedentes. Podríamos definir el Ford Pinto como un Fiesta “USA-style”. Un coche bonito, práctico y asequible. Hasta aquí, bien. Lo malo es que en casos de choques de alcance la NHTSA americana, algo así como el EuroNcap de allí, descubrió que el bonito Pinto tenía una cierta tendencia al incendiarse. Si piensas que entonces se acabó el escándalo, te equivocas. El escándalo llegó cuando se supo que Ford ya conocía el problema y que las piezas que se tenían que haber cambiado para evitarlo contaban… 11 dólares. Pero la cosa fue a más, porque se descubrió un documento en el que los expertos legales de Ford decían que era más barato pagar indemnizaciones que solucionar el problema. 2. Mercedes Clase A: La prueba del alce (1997) En esos años un grupo de revistas entre ellas la sueca Vi Bilägare pusieron de moda una prueba de esquiva que denominaron “Prueba del Alce”, porque por allí, que se te cruce un alce es relativamente frecuente. Es un Zigzag a 60 km/h. Mercedes estaba trabajando en su primer coche popular de tracción delantera y cuando lo presentaron a la prensa e hicieron la prueba de alce… acabaron volcando. 3. Firestone: 203 muertes (1998) Los neumáticos son claves para la seguridad… y para la inseguridad. En 1998 los Ford Explorer, pick ups potentes y pesados, montaban los neumáticos Firestone en dos modelos, los Radial ATX I y los Wilderness AT. Cuál era el problema… una minucia: La banda de rodadura se desprendía y el neumático estallaba. 4. Ferrari y McLaren: Espionaje (2006) ¡Hablemos de cosas divertidas! Por ejemplo, de F1 y de espionaje… Y te aseguro que es divertido… y estúpido. Nigel Stepney era responsable de pista de Ferrari y prescindieron de él en favor de Luca Baldisseri. Enfadado Nigel cogió unos planos del futuro Ferrari con la idea de dárselos a Mike Coughlan, jefe de diseño de McLaren. 5. Genera Motors: “Autoapagado” (2006) Si en 2006 tenías un Chevrolet Cobalt o un Pontiac G5, entre otros, podía pasar que, inopinadamente, sin venir a cuento, el motor se paraba como si hubieses quitado el contacto. En realidad es que, por culpa de unos bombines defectuosos, se había quitado el contacto. 6. Toyota: Aceleradores defectuosos (2009) ¿Te parecen muchos 2,6 millones! Pues Toyota llamó a revisión a ¡10 millones de coches! El “problemilla” es que el coche se aceleraba solo. Toyota argumento que era un problema de las alfombrillas no originales con las que se enganchaba el acelerador y otras ideas peregrinas. 7. Volvo S60: Ridículo (2010) Imagínate una presentación a toda la prensa internacional de un sistema de seguridad denominado City Safety que supuestamente impedía que el coche chocase contra ningún tipo de obstáculo. En la presentación se lanzaba al coche contra un camión y el coche, muy listo, debería de frenar. Pero la realidad es que se empotro y se dio un bofetón espectacular. 8. Ferrari 458 Italia. “Ardientes”. (2010) Imagínate que te compras el coche de tus sueños, un flamante y precioso Ferrari 458 Italia de unos cuantos cientos de miles de euros… hasta ahí todo bien. Pero un día le das caña al coche en una autopista o en un circuito y al parar, al poco tiempo, ves que sale humito del motor… en pocos segundos el humito es una columna de humo y en otros pocos segundos, tu precioso coche está en llamas. 9. Takata: Récord absoluto (2013) ¡34 millones de coches de 10 marcas distintas fueron afectados por estos airbags! ¿Qué les pasaba? Casi nada. Simplemente se rompían al inflarse y en vez de amortiguar el golpe al conductor le lanzaba metralla a la cara. Sorprende que solo haya 100 heridos y 8 muertes, pero son tantos coches que, seguramente, este problema nunca estará arreglado del todo. 10. VW: El “Diesel gate” (2015) ¿En qué consistía esta trampa? Es muy sencillo: El coche tenía un software que detectaba cuando el coche estaba sometido a un test y cambiaba los reglajes para pasar la prueba. Y cuando detectaba que estaba en un uso normal, el coche corría más, gastaba menos y expulsaba, agárrate, hasta 40 veces más de CO2 del permitido.

Our guest today has one of the most diverse bodies of work of any director we've had on the show. He has worked in multiple genres throughout his decades long career and proven himself to be a filmmaker who kills in any genre space he works in. Having come up in the business along industry friends such as Martin Scorsese and Sydney Pollack, he is part of cinema history as one of the filmmakers creating distinct and memorable work with a style that is unquestionably his own. However, it is a film regarded as one of the best adaptations of Stephen King's most beloved books that has made him an icon of horror In this episode we will be joined by filmmaker Lewis Teague. Often regarded by his peers and fans alike as “underrated”, Lewis first made a name for himself in the genre with the cult classic “Alligator”.  Better than anyone thought an Alligator living in the sewer's movie had any right to be, and featuring a bravura performance by lead actor Robert Forster, “Alligator” has gone on to become a favorite of horror fans. Lewis' 1983 adaptation of Stephen King's “Cujo” is considered by many, including King himself, as one of the ultimate King adaptations. With unbearably taught direction, nerve frying cinematography by legendary cinematographer Jan De Bont and a career best performance by genre royalty Dee Wallace, “Cujo” remains untouched in the canon of Stephen King movies. With a great dry sense of humour and uncanny style for storytelling, Lewis shared with me his youth as a bit of a trouble maker before winding up in the military, finding his way in the hay-day of Hollywood auteurs, his ups and downs in show business and his enjoyment in teaching in his later life. So, let's strap into a Ford Pinto and prepare to have our adrenal glands blown with Lewis Teague! ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This is: The 6D effect: When companies take risks, one email can be very powerful., published by scasper on November 4, 2023 on LessWrong. Recently, I have been learning about industry norms, legal discovery proceedings, and incentive structures related to companies building risky systems. I wanted to share some findings in this post because they may be important for the frontier AI community to understand well. TL;DR Documented communications of risks (especially by employees) make companies much more likely to be held liable in court when bad things happen. The resulting Duty to Due Diligence from Discoverable Documentation of Dangers (the 6D effect) can make companies much more cautious if even a single email is sent to them communicating a risk. Companies tend to avoid talking about risk through documented media. Companies often intentionally avoid discussing the risks of what they are doing through permanent media such as email. For example, this article gives some very shady advice on how companies can avoid liability by using "safe communication" practices to avoid the creation of incriminating "bad documents". Often the drafters of these documents tend to believe that they are providing the company with some value to the business. For example, an engineer notices a potential liability in a design so he informs his supervisor through an email. However, the engineer's lack of legal knowledge and misuse of legal vocabulary in the communication may later implicate the company with notice of the problem when a lawsuit arises. I personally enjoyed the use of "when" and not "if" in the excerpt. This is a perverse consequence of how it is relatively hard for companies to be held liable for risks when it cannot be proven they knew about them, even if they did. When an incident happens and a company is sued, evidence about its role in the problem is gathered during what is known as the " discovery " phase of a lawsuit (emails are usually discoverable). When records showing that a company had knowledge of the problem are found in discovery, they are much more likely to be found liable. One email can have a lot of power. The unfortunate consequence of how discovery works is that companies strategically avoid communicating risks via documented media. But there is a silver lining. The threat of liability due to documented communications of risks can have a lot of influence over how cautious a company is. One discoverable record of a risk can be very impactful. I like to call this the 6D effect - the Duty to Due Diligence from Discoverable Documentation of Dangers. A few examples Here are some notable examples of companies being held liable for damages because they ignored documented communication of risks (but there are many throughout legal history). In Grimshaw v. Ford Motor Company, 1981 , Ford was held liable for damages involving a fatal crash with a Ford Pinto because it was shown that leadership within the company ignored warnings about problems with the vehicle's fuel system. In April of this year, a large settlement was reached after the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire in London, which killed 72 people. A big factor in the lawsuit was that the company managing the tower had ignored numerous fire safety warnings which were found in discovery. Last year, the Hardwick v. 3M case ended . It was a class action lawsuit from 2018 about the presence of harmful "forever chemicals" (PFAS) in consumer products. The company behind these chemicals was found to have known about risks since the 1970s but was knowingly negligent, which led to a ruling against them. Miscellaneous notes The 6D effect can result from any discoverable communication, but it is especially powerful when the warning comes from an employee of the company itself. If you communicate a risk, it is important to speak up and ...

This is the second installment in our suite on Known Defects and Mass Torts.  Last month, we discussed the Ford Pinto cases from the 1970's.  Today, we are back in present day with another allegation of automobile defects: are auto manufacturers' laudable efforts to go green causing damages to those cars?  Specifically, are the newer soy-based wire coatings and other plant-based coatings particularly enticing to rodents?  Join Steve and Rebecca as they discuss the cases that are currently being litigated around these issues, and how the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act can provide additional avenues for plaintiffs to recover in cases like these.

The Ford Pinto was released in the 1970's as a budget friendly sub-compact car to compete with small cars arriving from Japan. It is frequently ranked as one of the worst cars of all time primarily due to the fact that every once in a while it exploded during collisions. On this episode of Wiki U Kyle and Jheisson uncover why Pintos went up in flames, the story behind the rushed design and lawsuits that followed.Follow Wiki U on Youtube, TikTok, and Instagram @wikiuniversityMusic provided by Daisy and the Chains

You read that title correctly. Did you know that the Ford Pinto used to have wings and could actually gain flight? Yeah I mean Chris and Chris didn't know that either until we ended up obsessing over it for like 5-10 minutes. Other than that we go over the 2023 NAIAS or Detroit Auto Show, Chris L.'s mother's fluid snafu and so much more in this week's episode! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/fungirliecartime/support

When purchasing a new car, customers trust that manufacturers prioritize safety. Unfortunately for many, other priorities created a recipe for disaster when Ford developed the Ford Pinto. Not only was this car unable to withstand a crash exceeding a mere 5 mph, but as plaintiffs successfully argued, Ford blatantly ignored safety concerns with simple fixes in order to rush the Pinto to market. On this week's episode, join Rebecca and Steve as they delve into one of the most notorious products liability issues in American manufacturing, uncovering the safety disaster that was the Ford Pinto and how such a massive distributor prioritized profits over public safety.

The controversial 1973 commercial for the memory game Hüsker Dü inspired this episode in which we pepper each other with questions that all start with the phrase "Do you remember ....?" It's a rapid-fire round-up of random things that intrigue us but don't warrant an entire episode. We're talking about Rerun and doobies (or Doobies) and Mouseketeers and Gnip Gnop and our deep-seated fear that touching a Ford Pinto would blow up the world. That's just a small taste of the topics that popped up on in this conversation that could only happen amongst Gen Xers.

Aside from having a terrific title, the seventh studio album by REO Speedwagon would be the one which would bring them mainstream success.  You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish was the first album to be co-produced by guitarist Gary Richrath and lead singer Kevin Cronin, and was the first to break into the top 40 on the Billboard 200 album charts in the US, peaking at number 29.  It also was the first on which Bruce Hall was a part of the group, replacing Gregg Philbin on bass.  The rest of the group was Nel Doughty on keyboards and Alan Gratzer on drums.   Doughty and Gratzer were college students when the band was founded, and Doughty was inspired to create the name of the group when he saw it written on the board of his “History of Transportation” class.This album trends toward melodic rock and power ballads, which perhaps explains the broader appeal they received.  Richrath's guitar hooks blended well with Cronin's strong vocals, and the result was a polished sound that worked well for both rock anthems and more pensive ballads.  The energy of the studio album also seemed to finally catch the essence and energy of their live performances.The band would go on to become one of the stars of the arena rock world in the 80's, and this album is where that really started for them.Rob brings us this group at the start of their ascent to stardom. Roll with the ChangesThis infectious rock anthem leads off the album, and is a timeless staple of the band's concerts.  Kevin Cronin was inspired to write this song when he returned to the band in 1976 and relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles.  Changes in his life caused the song to hit him instantly.  He started writing the lyrics on a paper bag in his Ford Pinto while driving to L.A.Runnin' BlindThis deeper cut is the third track on the album.  It has a solid guitar riff and we believe a “Cheap Trick” sound.  The lyrics discuss a lover who is always on the road playing the guitar and leaving someone behind.  “Change is comin' no more runnin'”Time for Me to FlyAnother song written by Kevin Cronin, this ballad was inspired by Cronin's breakup with his high school girlfriend.  Unlike “Roll with the Changes,” this song took Cronin 10 years to write, and had been rejected for previous albums.  While it would peak at number 56 on the Billboard Hot 100, it would become one of their best known songs and a timeless ballad.Say You Love Me or Say GoodnightAnother deeper cut that rocks, this one closes out the album.  The lyrics are a call to either make up or split up.  It is a great jam to end the concert or album.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the motion picture The Magic of LassieJimmy Stewart makes his last appearance in this installment of the film franchise starring the famous collie. STAFF PICKS:Party by Boston Bruce kicks off the staff picks with the sixth track from Boston's second studio album, “Don't Look Back”  This straight-up party song was co-written by Brad Delp and Tom Scholz, one of only two songs on the album not solely written by Scholz.  While it wasn't released as a single, it received significant airplay on rock stations and appears on Boston's Greatest Hits album.Raise a Little Hell by TrooperWayne keeps the energy up with a rocker off Canadian band Trooper's fourth studio album.  Randy Bachman produced this album entitled “Thick as Thieves.”  It appears in the first season of the NETFLIX show “Stranger Things.”  While not having a big hit in the US (this one went to number 59) Trooper was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2023.Hot Blooded by Foreigner Lynch brings us a monster hit written by Lou Gramm and Mick Jones.  While most people with a fever of 103 would need some rest, the song describes the cure as an after-show rendezvous with the girl he's been checking out.  The song did more than dance up the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 3.Runaway by Jefferson StarshipRob takes the tempo down to close out the staff picks with the second single from the album “Earth.”  This song made it to number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Marty Balin takes vocal duties on this song, alternating between a smooth sound in the verses and a grittier, funky sound in the bridge. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:The Unidentified Flying Tuna Trot by REO Speedwagon This instrumental off “You Can Tune a Piano, but You Can't Tuna Fish” gives us the opportunity to double dip on the episode's featured album by REO Speedwagon.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. reconnects with one of his fiercest rivals from his NASCAR Xfinity Series days, former crew chief Robbie Reiser. During Dale's 1998 and ‘99 Xfinity Championship season runs, his main competition was fellow up-and-comer Matt Kenseth, for whom Reiser was calling the shots. Dale and co-host Mike Davis chat with Robbie about his family's history in racing the short tracks of Wisconsin, where his father John was a champion dirt late model driver. Robbie recounts a hilarious story of how he came to be behind the wheel, thanks in part to wrecking his sister's Ford Pinto in a street race with a friend. After quickly rising through the local ranks in Southern Wisconsin, Robbie and his father John took the plunge into the world of NASCAR, moving their operation to Denver, North Carolina. After nearly losing everything due to a lack of funding, a series of events led to Robbie putting his former rival from home, Matt Kenseth, behind the wheel. They immediately found harmony and became contenders in the Xfinity Series, where they impressed the likes of Mark Martin and Jack Roush. Before long, the Reiser operation was absorbed by Roush Racing, and they took on the superstars of NASCAR Cup, where they would win a championship in 2003.
