"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 pict…

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 proble…

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 s…

"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 rad…

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…

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 wil…

"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 inno…

Easy enough solution, tax outsourced jobs.

"* = 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 t…

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…

"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-a…

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?)…

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…

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…

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 o…

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,…

It wasn't an excuse. It was just the easiest way to get street preachers on a power trip to bugger off

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…

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 li…

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.

Why?
