It is very easy to do the math on the aerodynamics, even at running speeds it isn't insignificant. It drives me crazy that many pro marathoners are in flappy clothes, or big hair c…

Because most humans don't really try, not limited to east africans.

The mile record has dropped due to equipment (tracks and shoes) and pacing innovation since the very first. And I repeat this all the time but nobody listens: modern shoes are fast…

I started programming at ~8 and as a kid you often are sure the compiler is wrong, and it never is. (maybe once, have a vague memory of it) Then years later I started playing with …

Why do people reply with this "it was always american" response? Do you feel like it is necessary to protect RocketLab or something? It was founded by a guy in new zealand with the…

With some care about what features to use and when, F# can be very fast. Which is nice, use functional paradigm when you want, or low level imperative code in hot loops if you need…

I think you are right that we should focus on the fact that the president raped children, invaded Iran with no plan and for no reason when he promised not to start a war, and viola…

The disingenuous people who discredit climate change will do so no matter how serious people act. There is no point in changing behavior on their account.

Yes, our tech leaders would rather send america into fascism that have any impediments put in the way of their business plans. It is disgusting, and sad.

>It's physically not possible at our current level of technology to make this "safer" Absolutely it is, if NASA was not constrained by congress to use shuttle components to build t…

We are not in a democratic setting in America any more, the people in power are willing to start wars to protect pedophiles, they are willing to hire Nazi thugs to shoot your wives…
