Can anyone tell this poor ignoramus whether the kg is getting heavier or lighter - and how much by (approximately, I know it's not going to be an exact figure given the reason they are changing it)?

I mostly like your design, a nice clean look, but I have a couple of comments and a suggestion that you are free to ignore completely. Firstly, I hate sites that use such a narrow column on the screen. The wall of text from the previous pos

It seems so wasteful to me that all these companies are sending out cars to get streetview images of the same streets. Google, Apple, Microsoft, and god knows who else. All that fuel and other resources wasted doing the same thing over and

I don't know why you're being downvoted without comment. You'reentitled to your opinion, and it's a perfectly valid opinion to have. Personally though, I think there is one thing you're missing. If you say something

The clue is in the name. It is the British Broadcasting Corporation, not the American Broadcasting Corporation. The article is written for a British target audience, quite possibly by British journalists - therefore British terms will be us

Here's a thought experiment that might explain it. Imagine you are at some form of social gathering and someone starts going round with a jar collecting for a charity. Now, if you witness someone not putting any money into the jar you&

That works unless a vote is unanimous. At that point it is obvious what you voted.

Humble and humiliation are completely different. I think the word you are after is humility. Just trying to help - not attempting to brag that I'm better than you in any way :-)

Another tiny little cosmetic error. On your about page you talk about being "file" star Jeff Goldblum. Should that be "film" star?

It's the cornerstone of law for a very good reason. As soon as you start making exceptions you have to have some agency who can decide who are the exceptions. You then have an agency that can summarily execute anyone they wish with no

I may be interpreting it wrong, but I don't think the requirement was "don't be humorous", I think it was don't do it just to be humorous. In other words, if the idea is humorous to some, that is fine, but you shoul

You are very much mistaken in two ways. Firstly, Visual Studio is not free. There is a free version that can only be used by learners, hobbyists, and those creating free software. This is a cut-down version from the commercial product, whic

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sure that bit was a humorous comment by the author of the article rather than a comment by the scientists.

A thought that has just occurred to me. I wonder if self driving cars should have L plates? They are, after all, learning how to drive. It might change the way other drivers behave around them as well since people in general give learners m

I wasn't suggesting that they all had tinnitus. The parent comment mentioned not hearing of anything natural that could cause such a buffering effect. I was pointing out there are natural phenomena that can cause such effects.

I have suffered from tinnitus (which is thankfully clearing up as my ear heals) and I have experienced such sounds. Not the actual pressure waves, but noises in the ear which emulate such noises to a certain extent.

I don't think we are that close to creating artificial intelligence for a very simple reason. To solve a problem you must first be able to define the problem to be solved. So, define intelligence. Take your time, this comment will wait

For me, the first game I played that really used sound to it's best effect was Doom (I think, or it could have been Quake - it was a long time ago alright :-) ). There was one particular demon that you would hear half whispering in the

I agree. I have long said that they have a very difficult problem. The trouble is that too many people just say "oh they should do something about it" without having even close to enough knowledge to see what a hugely insurmountab

Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. They had a utopian vision, but like all those before them they failed to take into account that there are a lot of 'bad actors' out there, to be polite about it.

As far as I am aware it is only inhaling the smoke that is carcinogenic. That being the case, just holding a butt in their beak should be safe.

I guess that would reduce the number of cigarette butts littering the park, if smokers were too terrified to smoke there :-D

Thanks for the replies everyone. A follow up: would the sound recovered from such vibrations have enough resolution to perform some of the tricks described (isolating voice from background noise or identifying the song and cancelling it out

Forgive me, as someone with zero actual knowledge in this field. This may be a naive question, but wouldn't this be fairly easily defeated by playing songs in the background?

Possibly, but no one was around to record that so it can't be the highest 'recorded' temperature ever.
