I have a few years older model Mazda 3 that has a similar system, although much less stylish. I like it for two reasons. I don't glance down when adjusting the radio or checking GPS and my eyes stay more or less on the road. The kno

I don't think Apple will adopt AMD cpus, I think they will leapfrog to ARM in 10 years.

It might be. On monitors the difference between a 120hz refresh rate and 144hz refresh rate is about 14ms between frames. Some people (claim) to tell the difference.

The point is that the idea of public millimeter wave surveillance has some amount of public support. Even if they deploy an ineffective version in 12 months, in 240 months they might have effective hardware. This is the direction some peop

No, and radioactive decay doesn't account for the variances between the reference kilogram and it's sister kilograms we've observed.

This isn't a slightly difficult problem, this is a fundamentally impossible problem. A qualitative thing cannot be quantified. If we could quantify adversity we could calculate the percentage out of all human suffering that occurred du

It's hard to say because the mechanisms for the mass loss are not fully known. In fact, we are just guessing that mass loss actually occurred, and how much did occur. How would we have measured the mass change of the reference kilogra

I think the goal of quantifying the amount of adversity a person experiences in their life is a fools errand. This is like asking "On a scale of 1-100 how beautiful is The Mona Lisa." Somethings can only be poorly approximated i
