There’s no messing around when it comes to a pick-up truck, a vehicle that has a clear job to do, and in most cases does it admirably. Except that even this segment isn’t immune to mission creep, and these hardy vehicles are now expected to double as workhorse and acceptable all-round family transport.

NYC proposes 5 percent raise for rideshare drivers in a bid to appease Uber and Lyft

New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) have settled on new minimum-wage rules for rideshare drivers, Bloomberg reports. Drivers will receive a five percent raise under the new proposal, a compromise to keep Uber and Lyft from locking drivers out of their apps. The proposal needs to be voted on by the TLC's board of commissioners before it goes into effect, but assuming it does, it'll end months of uncertainty for drivers working in the city.

From the 1920s, Banachiewicz developed a method for computations on tables of numbers, which was particularly easy to perform with arithmometers.
