IMHO, the reason is not really to protect US manufacturers. It is about long-running negative balance of trade between US and the rest of the world. Protectionism rhetoric is a sugar-coat for Americans who will have to foot the bill by payi

This propagation delay does not really matter as long as neighboring power plants are synchronized with each other. Yes, east coast and west coast are out of phase, but only to a perfect observer who can see phase value on both coasts insta

When breaking with engine, the kinetic energy of movement is converted to heat not via friction (like breaks do) but via compressing air in cylinders which does not cause extra wear on anything.

Perhaps since this practice got exposed, other countries became less willing to cooperate. With such a treaty in place it will be more difficult to say no.

Do you think folks currently participating in murders will put their guns down once they run our of drug dealers/addicts? This policy is akin to starting fire in a house to get rid of rats.

Perhaps “random fluctuations” are as much random as Brownian motion. I.e. there is cause and effect on a finer level (yet not possible to probe with current techniques), however a large number of interacting particles renders analytical pre

I believe this comment is not directed to people who are trying to create something, but to people who feel entitled/special because they are trying to create something they perceive as improvement for humanity.

Can be also luck on first try, while all subsequent attempts are "regression towards the mean" as Kahneman puts it. However I agree with the idea that being motivated by the process of creation is more robust than being totally go

Aren't these worthy endeavours resource-starved because most of resources are being spent on less worthy endeavours which involve competition?

It is not a big deal as long as seemingly identical file names are treated by OS as different. Unicode normalization is not the only problem here, e.g. Latin 'a', 'e', 'T' are exactly the same as Cyrillic &#x27

The cash one exchanges for shares of a public company is usually spent on paying wages, buying equipment, funding R&D etc, thus enabling future growth. If one happens to invest into the inefficient company in a long term it is going to

As for differentiation of goods in Soviet Union it went as: - made in USSR: hard to buy - made in USSR for export: takes a bribe to buy - made in Soviet block countries (DDR, Czechoslovakia): requires bribe and connections - made in Western

What you say about intelligence vaguely resembles genetic algorithm... or I just saw a pattern similarity where none exists :)

The only problem is that hardware to verify ECU code is an actual car of particular model with equipment to analyse exhaust. Or very precise mathematical model of it which would be much more expensive and would probably require super-comput

Opensourcing is not a replacement for QA practices. If it was, open source applications would never have critical bugs or security vulnerabilities. It may mitigate some issues in a long run (e.g. intentional backdors) but in a short run it

over-the-air updates for safety-critical components of a car is a risky practice at best.
