"A car needs several car-lengths of space between them." The distance between bumpers actually cancels out (actually it comes out in the car's favor). First notice that in the picture the cars are almost touching, so clearly

That's context dependent. Where I live it's not a problem that a car takes up space (my car is parked in my home's basement). Where I typically go to it's a relatively minor problem - most places I go to only need 4 to 5

It also assumes the cars have one occupant. I rarely drive alone these days

You haven't thought it through. It's terrible to be confused, whereas, it's nothing to be dead. You just rot, blissfully unaware. Unless you're religious. Then it's not death you should fear, but the judgement.

"Yeah. I was born and lived before the Internet (in its widespread form) existed." So you're in-between the age of 40 to 60? Let's say you're 60, born in 1961: - Your local pop radio station often plays a rock song

Now start doing the math for how much power (I made it easy, I I'm only asking for the rate) that is required to keep someone alive indefinitely. Don't cheat! Don't use the caloric needs of a fully grown adult. Their bodies s

Reversing the flow of aging is reversing entropy locally, so you're, overall, increasing entropy more outside of your body. The live forever types are just assuming that energy will be plentiful enough to sustain hundreds of billions o

"America is the land of immigrants. " I should know, I've lived here for 14 y years (and, no, I'm not 14 years old). "Every batch of immigrants provide the fuel for growth and innovation." So the people already

"* = Compared to the average American, the average H1-B holder has substantially less purchasing power, before immigrating." So? Is America's immigration system supposed to serve the interest of foreigners, or Americans?

But for the long tail, sometime they can't be beat. Which sucks, because I otherwise have eliminated Amazon in my life.

You can't reverse aging, that's a violation of the second law of thermodynamics. You might be able to restore the body's ability to regenerate itself. But that's a terrible idea. I shudder at the idea of living to 120, n

"We have done substantial testing." So go get vaccinated! If you trust the vaccine that it works, and that it's safe, go get it. I certainly have urged people I know who are high-at-risk and don't share my ethical concer

Well there are a few issues with your question. I don't think a society can be as "advanced" as Star Trek. Societies are hard. To abuse CS terminology, they're NP-hard (or harder?). Star Trek seems to have only external

I'll leave it to you, a user, that strong EM fields also blind the devices. The signals the ICD is trying to measure are very weak. I can imagine that strong 50/60Hz surge currents really screw things up, especially in single cond

Because I have children that I would like for one day to be able to afford a house. I mean, OPs idea was silly beyond belief. Even the socialists dont say: "The only person who can profit from this are the capitalists (necessarily) who

The problem appears to me to be a design problem of the implanted devices, not the iPhone. Unless I'm mistaken this is what's happening: 1. ICDs want/need to communicate with the outside (at least one way). 2.However, this i

For the record, I volunteered for a COVID vaccine trial. "mRNA vaccines have been tested in humans since 2011" So barely 10 years. A study on a dozen or so participants, all white, college aged men with largely identical diets. I

Or they have other reasons for not getting it, reasons that are personal/mocked/dismissed by others, and the emergency approval was the easiest way to get these street preachers to make like a tree.

Thats really cool. I feel that modern computers are so powerful that they are productivity sappers. For me to be productive, I think a system with low latency but otherwise very limited would be the best. It's like what a friend said i

Andre Fachat also wrote a pre-emptive multitasking kernel for the 6502: http://www.6502.org/users/andre/osa/oa1.html This is basically the same CPU as in the NES.

You inspired me to come up with this conjecture: The number of correct papers grows logarithmically with the number of papers published.

Kinda. First some terminology. HVAC mean Heating Ventilation and AC (i guess). It is the name for the general problem of dealing with the environment in the house. Second, about the Northern states. It really depends where you are and wha

I dunno, I took optics 15 years ago and only one signals class :P I'd just average the lowest (N-1) pixels. N-1 because shot noise is a very bright pixel - if I have a bright pixel not including it is best for the avg. If the pixel is
